Merging iTunes Directories and Creating a new, Single, Database

I have about 600GB of media on my EHD and about 60GB on another. I've moved the 60GB into the EHD. How do I now rebuild the database so that iTunes sees all the media? I think I read on here a long time ago about a key combination you can do when starting iTunes that will rebuild the database or consolidate old with the new. Any help here would be greatly appreciated....

It is not possible to delete an apple id completely. You can only delete information like credit card, adress, name... To do this, go to iTunes Store, click on your email adress in the upper right corner and enter your password. Now you can manage your account.
An apple id without password is not possible.

How can I delete my itunes account and create a new one ?

Hi Everyone
I've got a problem with my current account itunes (french) :
I'm between France and Spain. I usaully use french applications but I would like to be able to pick some apps in the spanish itunes store, and in the english one (such as i already do in the french one). Lately I change my payment data to my spanish visa card data, since then I cannot download any app anymore.
So I tried to create a new account in the itunes store choosing the spanish location, but it s not possible since my actual email adress is the back up email adress of my french account .
Can you please provide me some support ?
A good day to you all.
Audrey

You can access www.appleid.apple.com and open your old account and delete.

HT1527 I have windows 8.1 and cannot access itunes store even creating a new apple id. With other users on the same computer I can access itunes store. How can I solve this?

I have windows 8.1 and cannot access itunes store even creating a new apple id. With other users on the same computer I can access itunes store. How can I solve this?

i had the same problem before using a fresh install of Windows 8.1. I have resolved this issue by running the program compatibility wizard. This I did by right-clicking on the iTunes icon in the desktop, selecting Troubleshoot compatibility, waited for it to detect compatibility issues and when presented with the following options: 1.) Try recommended settings; 2.) Troubleshoot program, I chose the latter. When asked what problems I noticed, I checked the following: "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run" and "The program requires additional permission"
After that, it tired to resolve the issue, and provided the necessary settings to run iTunes. Now it's running flawlessly. I have Avast anti-virus installed though.
HTH!

I am on a shared computer with several profiles. I had to delete my profile and create a new one. Now, my question. It transferred to Purchased Items to the new iTunes, so how do I get the rest of the songs to transfer to new iTunes?

It sounds like you might have broken links to your content. Either repair these by putting the files you've recovered where iTunes expects to find them or delete the broken entries then go to iTunes Store > Purchased > Music > Not on This Computer, and click the download links.
If you have an Apple device see also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Hi Jacob...
A $1.00 credit or an authorization hold ...
The $1.00 charge is just an "authorization hold" > iTunes Store & Mac App Store: About credit-card authorization holds that will be credited back to your account usually within 24 to 48 hours.
is their a way i can merge both my balances to buy the new angry birds game!??
If it's a $1 credit from a redeemed iTunes gift card, sorry, but Apple's policy states that Apple ID accounts cannot be merged > Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID

Well, it's kind of like walking into a bank and saying you forgot your name and address but you want access to your account, still:

I used to have a podcast that had been accepted on Itunes, but my I began to have problems with my host, so I changed host and created a new podcast, and I submitted my new podcast, Apple refused, and now says the feed has already been submitted??

I used to have a podcast that had been accepted on Itunes, but my I began to have problems with my host, so I changed host and created a new podcast, and I submitted my new podcast, Apple refused, and now says the feed has already been submitted? Maybe Itunes thought that I was someone trying to copy my old podcast because I kept the same name, I tried to change the names but it looks like I'm on a blocked list...

There is a procedure for changing the feed URL for a podcast, which it seems you haven't followed: you have to add a special tag to the old feed - just submitting a new feed will have exactly the effect you describe. The proper method is described here:

HT1848 MY wife has an Iphone 4 and I have a 5. To date we haev used one apple is/account to manage music purchases. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account?

MY wife has an Iphone 4 and I have a 5. To date we have used one apple account to manage music purchases/library. I updated ny phone to the new OS version and all her texting is showing up on my phone. I understand if i create an apple account for her I will not see her texts. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account and get access to the music library under my account on the new MAC laptop before I update her phone to the new OS?
Going forward if I purchase music under my apple id and want her to have it on her device, how can I acheive that?

You can continue to share an Apple ID for purchases.
Sign her in to her new account here:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (Keep on Phone if you want to transfer contacts, calendars, etc...) then sign in with her new ID
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Use the same Apple ID here:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID

I've already restarted my computer and created a new user, but my IPhone 4 still isn't coming out of the "restore" setting; anybody know how?

I've recently tried to restore my IPhone4. For some reason, its not working properly (i.e my phone won't come out of restore). I've already restarted my computer, and created a new user account on my computer.The message that keeps popping up says Error 1604 which i know has somethign to do with the USB port but i don't know what specifically. Any Help??

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Why every time i hit my new message or iMessage notification it goes and creates a new message to the person who sent the message

why every time i hit my new message or iMessage notification it goes and creates a new message to the person who sent the message?

Hey Rkbethel
There are two ways to resolve this for you. For the first is go and do a Reset All Settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. It will not delete anything on your iPhone, but it will put all settings back to default. If it does not work, the next step would be to restore the iPhone back to factory settings.

don't just sign out!
if you simply sign out, the stuff you recently purchased will be an issue in the future when an update comes out for apps or anything else. restore the device as new from itunes then restore from a back if you have one as stated above...or set up as new and use correct apple id. this will ensure you will be using the apple id that you used originally without issues from the new one.

Contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them. Alternatively, just create a new Apple ID; previous iTunes Store purchases won't be transferred to it.

I have a temp working for me and she scanned all our batches upside down is there a way to flip them and save them without her having to rescan every batch. We have tried flipping them and doing a save as, we have also tried to flip them and create a new pdf document but nothing seems to be working

If the file type is PDF then open them in Acrobat and rotate them via Tools - Pages - Rotate (not via the View menu, which is only temporary).
You can also do this in an Action, if you have Acrobat Pro, and process multiple files in a single process.

There is no other way you can do now. Actually, you don't need to create a new Apple ID account, you can change the Apple ID from old email account to other email accout easily by all the steps below.
1, Open iTunes > iTunes Store > log in old Apple ID > Click on your apple ID on the right hand side on top > choose account > Apple ID > Edit
As long as you only change your Apple ID, then all the old apps are still under your new email account as well as you can keep downloading new apps.
