My iPod nano recently broke, around the time that I switched computers AND deleted my old iTunes account. Now what do I do about getting the old music off of it?

I was just wondering if there was any possible way I could get the music off of it . . .

(It was very stupid of me to delete my account in the first place

Have old ipod nano (2nd generation) with music from an old itunes account ... I have new itunes account now...how do I get my old purchased music into my new itunes library?

I have an old ipod nano (2nd generation) with music on it from an old itunes account from a few years ago. I have a new itunes account now. How do I get the music (that I purchased) transferred into my new itunes library?

Hi sid1010,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You can redownload music that you have purchased directly to your iTunes Library. Here's how:
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

I have an iMac OSLion. After accidently deleting the printer, I have reset the printer system. Then plug printer in and hoped it would recognize it, but no. Now what do I do to get the printer back?

I have an IMac OS Lion. After accidently deleting the printer I have reset the printing system, and plugged the printer in again, and hoped the computer would recognize it, but no it didn't. Now what do I do to get the printer back again?

Hello.
You'll probably have to add the printer again. You can do it like this:
System Preferences > Print & Scan. Click on the '+' icon and choose your printer.

I recently built a new windows PC for the first time. My (new) wife and I both have itunes accounts, which we would like to use under different windows accounts on same PC. However, when I try to download my wife's songs it gives me an error.

I am recently married to a wonderful woman and just built a windows PC for the first time. The idea was that we would (sorta) both be able to get a new computer out of it as we would each have a different account under windows. One of the first tasks was to migrate over our iTunes libraries. I did mine with no problem, but now that I'm try to do hers, I'm getting an error message saying "if you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you cannot auto-download or download purchases with a different Apple ID for 90 days."
What's the best solution for this? I want my wife to be able to use the new computer under her windows account just like it's her new computer, to the extent possible. I don't want our two iTunes accounts to be fighting each other and causing problems because they are on the same physical machine. What to do? Surely this can't be the first time this has happened - where two people each want to have their own iTunes account on the same computer.
This is the latest version of iTunes (12.0.1.26) running on Windows 8.1.

If you haven't already done so then you can contact iTunes support via this page and ask them why the message is appearing (these are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. It is correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac.

I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. They are both correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac. i use mac mail and it is my companies server. I took my computer and iPhone to the Apple store...4 hours later they said that couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. Any suggestions???? I am also not able to log into the C-Panel...

Same here! Happened yesterday to me on New iPad and iPhone 4S. On iPad I managed to correct it by removing the account and activating it again as an Exchange account...I have mail and calendar OK!
On the iPhone nothing seems to work!
Facts:
1. everything worked perfectly for years!
2. I have the 2-step authentication deactivated on my google account so it cannot be this one.
3. On desktop everything works just fine, on iPad everything is OK with Exchange account added (after Google removed support for Exchange account access I CAN ONLY HAVE ONE DEVICE with Google Exchange account, so doing the same on the iPhone does not work!)
4. Tried to remove and add the account again - no results.
5. Tried to remove and add as Google, as Exchange, as Other account - I get calendar but no mail!!!
6. Tried to reboot between remove/add accounts - no results.
7. Tried to ("reset settings") reset the device - no results.
8. Tried to add as POP account and I it worked - I get mail but I do not need POP as I am using zounds of mail with labels and need to be working on an IMAP account
9. To make things even more complicated...I have another account which works perfectly!!!!!
Anyone out there having a clue?

I have a new laptop and have transfered 'all purchases' yet the only things i have is whatever is on my ipod at the time, nothing from the other iTunes accounts. What do i do to get everything back?

so my old laptop was a HP pavilion Vista. And my new laptop is a samsung windows 7. I pluged my ipod in as usual, transfered all purchases, yet all that got moved into my library was just what was stored on my ipod at the time, I had authorised my new laptop yet i still dont know how to get everything grouped into my new laptops library... Anyone know how i can do this?

How do you do what?
Copy everything that you included in your regular backup to your computer.
Copy contact back to the computer, copy calendars, copy documents, etc.
You can type "move itunes library" into the Google search bar for itunes instructions.

Why Why Why didn't i get warned about some of my super used all the time programs not working with Lion? I am so sad. What can i do about it besides buying upgrades for all the programs??

I am so upset because i didn't research enough before upgrading to Lion. I can't use a lot of my pograms i used all the time now. I want to go back to where i was before Lion. Is there a way to do it without costing me more money?

I didn't say the price was necessarily a drawback; just thought I'd throw my two cents in if the OP didn't want to purchase more software (as he/she alluded to in the first post). Even if it's a small cost (in your opinion), the OP said they didn't want to spend any more money. I didn't think about buying it on ebay; but that's a good idea. Just keep in mind that the Parallels free phone support is only good for the first few months after purchasing a new copy, so if you're buying a used copy, you won't get free phone tech support. I think they have per-incident support once the free period is over, though. And they probably have forums you can use to troubleshoot any issues.
Parallels can also cause a slow/laggy OS, which could be seen as a drawback. Of course, you could always purchase more RAM if the computer does lag, but there's another cost. I'm sure it doesn't happen to everyone, but it can happen, that I've seen. Especially if the computer you install it on is an older one that barely meets the Lion system requirements to begin with.
I agree with you; I purchase hardware and software for the future. If my new iMac won't run software from 2004-2008, I guess I'm upgrading. I understand when people don't want to upgrade, but after so many years, it's not really a choice.
I prefer the dual-boot method; it's cleaner (in my experience) than a virtual machine software program, and causes fewer issues with the main OS installation. It's really just preference, though. The OP can try both ways and decide which is preferable for him/her.
What I posted was (as I said in my first post) just my suggestion. I wasn't trying to override what you said about Parallels being the answer; just adding a new answer that I didn't yet see in this thread, in case the OP wanted an alternative. Maybe I mis-read the defensive attitude in your post, and if so, I apologize. But you seemed to be defending something that I wasn't truly even attacking to begin with. I feel that the best choices are the most informed ones, and with more options, the OP can find the best answer for him/her.
Have a nice day!

I was the person with the curser that was skipping backwards and typing my words backwards. Now it won't let me choose options when I'm trying to reinstall.

Okay. I was given the advice to make sure I had the latest Java. So I uninstalled all versions of Java. Reinstalled latest version of Java 6 update 23. Tried to reinstall Mozilla Firefox and got as far as the box that says: Import wizard settings and data. The curser bounces back and forth from the options microsoft internet explorer and don't import anything. It won't let me choose. It just keeps bouncing back and forth from those two options. Should I just click "next"? Thanks. DC

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

When i first got my iphone i plugged it into my friend's computer and songs on from itunes. Now it will not show up in the side bar when i plug it into my computer. I have already tried 'authorizing this computer'. What can i do?

When I first got my iphone i plugged it into my friends computer and added songs from their itunes. Now when i plug it into my computer it will not connect or show up in the sidebar in itunes. I have already tried factory resetting the phone and 'authorizing this computer' in itunes. Can anyone help?

Is your iTunes up to date, it is now 10.7, click the iTunes button at the top of this page if you need the new version.

My iphone 4s wont switch on or reset. i spoke to apple earier and they will replace the phone under warranty. i didnt back up my phone on itunes or icloud. as the phone will not switch on i am unable to do this now. any ideas how i can get these off?

My iphone 4s will not switch on. Supposidly it has been "charging" all day and stll it does not have enough life to switch on. Rang Apple this morning and they will replace the phone under warrenty free of charge. Only problem is with this being my first Apple product i didnt realise my phone did not automatically back up on itunes or icloud as i had to set this up.
Now i am trying desperately to get my phone to switch on so that i can save all of the baby pictures of my 7 month old son and its not working. i have tried to reset the phone but it does nothing!!
Can anyone PLEASE help as i am very upset and do not want to lose these precious memories?

You cannot get Applecare plus now.
It is unlikely that they will replace as it is damaged. The only way to find out is to make an appointment at the genius and and see what they say.

I signed into icloud on my phone and then lost all my contacts. what should i do to get the contacts back?

I signed into icloud on my iphone 6 and somehow all my contacts are now gone in my address book.
Does anyone know how to retrieve the contacts. The message said if I signed out of icloud I'd lose
all photo streams and any data on the phone. Can someone help???
Thanks.

I'm afraid you're out of luck. If it says incomplete you won't be able to access the backup.

My startup page displays top half in old mode and bottom half in 4.0 . What can I do to get the top part to display properly?

Instead of getting the drop-down menu that you click, I am getting the old horizontal line with File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help
But the little home page icon is on the far right, and (I hope) the awesome bar is working properly. This happened after a Windows Service Pack update, I think, although no one at HP tech support has an answer for me. Everything worked fine for a week, then the update, then the hybrid change. I even uninstalled the Firefox 4.0 and reinstalled it. It's still not displaying properly. Thanks for your help

I advise to reply to the one you want to reply to.
You have had good information here. I will not repeat that here.
I would like to add:
you have incompatible software: start in SafeMode, read Woodmeister and see if it is free of issues.
Akamai is crap software needed or not, Huawei the same.
It is very possible that the keygenerator you used for generating a key for some softwares has infected your mac.
The non-regular software with the false key(s) are not compatible probably or generate malware. Luckily you can not update them automatically because the keygenerator blocked the software for contacting the developer... I propose to consider getting rid of those softwares by really good uninstalling.
You have a beautiful mac, don't degenerate it with crapped software. There are alternatives for expensive software, for example Adobe Photoshop has a free alternative (with a less beautiful interface) in GIMP. And so on.
