ITunes - create new account and taking over songs from previous one

I shared my ITunes with another person and going forward, we have to use separate accounts. How can I transfer the music stored on the ITunes accounts to another one, resp. create a new account with the old music on it?

Create new account and reset password options on AAD signIN page

Hi there:
When using Azure Active Directory as an authentication provider for Azure Mobile Services, authentication works fine, but what about signing UP. How can I add the typical links like "Create new account" (with a confirmation link via email) and
"Reset Password" to the SignIN page?.
Thx in adv,
Gerardo

This is actually a question relating to AAD, not Mobile Services, as AAD is in control of that page, etc.
However, Azure Active Directory is intended as an enterprise identity management solution. There is no sign-up process, as users are managed explicitly by the organization.
My understanding is that you are looking for a custom authentication solution where users have usernames/passwords associated with your application. AAD is not meant for this use case. We do have
a tutorial for working with your own database, but you are responsible for the security, etc.

How can I easily remove/uninstall itunes 11, its components, and all my songs from a windows 7 laptop?

My Compaq's 38gb disk C is full, rendering my itunes library unworkable. I'd really like to know how to wipe my computer clean of itunes and all related files. Then I hope to reinstall itunes and import my songs from my external hard drive to disk D with 77gb of available storage.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks for getting back to me, Niel
Maybe I should step back and say that I was in the process of importing my whole library from a 2003 Powerbook G4 via an external hard drive when my Compaq's disk C filled up. Then I started uninstalling programs from disk C and adding more itunes files. Now my itunes library is a real mess with parts of albums in different áreas, and compilation albums transferred as individual songs... Even after all that, over half my songs still need to be imported into itunes. Since I'm a real novice at all this, I'm wondering if a frest start might be the easiest way to clean this mess up.

New ipod need help with songs from old one NEED HELP!!!!

I got a new ipod nano 3rd gen. but it wont let me take all of my old songs from my old ipod(nano 1st gen) and put them on my new one! I dont want to lose my songs so PLEASE HELP!!

When I did that on my old ipod and it said doing so will delete all the songs on it and replace it with my library. When I did it on my new ipod it just put the songs that was already in that playlist back on the ipod, not the songs that i need from the old one.

4 itune libraries are authorized to an old account; my ipad is linked to new account but wont play songs from old account_how to solve?

one very old 1st gen mbp (grampa( must not upgrade past itunes 8 or it doesnt recognize my ipod shuffle. it's running tiger 10.4.11
the macbook from 2009 runs snow leapoard as does the mac mini. they both recognize the new iopd nano and have itunes 10. neither recognizes the old ipod shuffle
all 3 are linked to a dead account, which doesnt even have a password. so i cant buy songs. it just has a death grip on songs i want to share . it was an aol account, which i havent used im years, but it appears in the itunes store.
the ipad 2 is running snow leopard, it is linked to my new mobile me id. when i tried to import songs purchased with the old account, the ipad was not authorized to play them...even though the songs are on hard drives and ipods. AND purchased legally by me -- just under an old account.
also --an extra mac seems to be authorized -- i'm up to my quota of 5 wit the 5th mac not authorized yet! --is there a way to determine which mac is authorized twice?
thank you so much for your help.

Create New Project and put photo in from another project folder

This is what I thought was going to be a relative task.
Move a batch of photos from one project folder into another new empty one.
I can highlight and select the photos in question and select Edit and Copy.
Go to new project folder,but No Paste function available.
I then see the New From Selection in the menu bar....but no New Project.
Anyone help me out here?
Mac intuitive !!!!what a load of ???X?£?$

Ummm OK, tried that and yes it does work, but when you have a large list of projects, it means having to drag a long way down the list, while it is scrolling.
Bit inconvenient, but if it is the only way. Shame this does not have keyboard shortcut like so much of the Apple stuff
Will probably have to name a project similar to the one I want to copy from in the future, then rename it again afterwards.
Thanks

Can I transfer money to other accounts on my iPad with iOS 5.1.1? I created another account and put an iTunes gift card on it, but then I realized that all of my apps are on another account, so how do I move that money over?

Can I transfer money to other accounts on my iPad with iOS 5.1.1?

Can I transfer the money over?

Not on your own. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.

i just recently got a new Mac laptop and i want to make my own iTunes account because i dont want to share with my family anymore. Is there any way i can create a new account and sync everything from my phone (and old accout) to my new account?

Yes but you will need to authorize your computer for purchases on the old iTunes account.

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

How do I delete my itunes account and start over?

I've had it with trying to get help with removing apps from my previous purchases. My son downloaded some questionable apps and now they show up on all my family's devices under "Purchase". I would like to just abandon the old account and create a new account to start over.
I deleted the itunes install on my PC and reinstalled thinking I could then set up a new itunes account, but then my previous account autopopulated my itunes library. How do I stop this so I can set up another account?

You cannot remove apps from previous purchases.
All purchases will always be tied to the accoutn from which they were purchased. All apps will always have to be updated using the account from which they were purchased. You would need to authorize your computers for the old account as well.
I would not start a new account. This generally causes problems.
Hide the apps.
