My old itunes account is like 10 years old.

My old itunes account is like 10 years old. I have a new one now and the e-mail is not the same. The security questions say they're all wrong. What gives? how can I authorize my computer to play these old itune purchases.

Just what do you want to do?
In iTunes you can go to Store and sing out of existing account and sing into your account.
You can sync music and videos from the other computer if you sync by the manual method.

  • How do I transfer music from an old iTunes account/library on an old PC to a new iTunes account/library on a new Macbook Air?

    I have an old iTunes account on an old PC.  I bought a new MacBook Air less than a year ago.  When I was at the store, purchasing my new Mac, I couldn't remember my old iTunes account password.  The sales rep encouraged me to open a new iTunes account, and assured me I would be able to merge the two accounts.  I have put very little music on my new iTunes account, and I want to figure out how to transfer my old account onto my new computer.  I am about to purchase the new iPhone, which I will use as my main music source since my old iPod just died.   I want to make this transfer before I make my new purchase, as I will be getting a $50 iTunes credit, and I need to know which account to attach it to.  (Also, I was given an iTunes credit on my new iTunes account when I purchased my MacBook Air, which I have not fully used yet.)

    Thanks for your prompt response, Niel.  I had already seen that link.  So, my question is if I can't merge the accounts, then what will happen when I move my old library to my new computer?  Will the new computer then have the two separate libraries or will the old library replace the new library? 
    Also, if both libraries can co-exist on my new computer, it sounds like I will have to choose which library I want to put on my new iPhone, correct?  I won't be able to put music from both, is this right?

  • Can't verify old itunes account b/c of old email

    I have a old itunes account I'd like to verify with a new machine so I can access purchased songs, however this account is associated with a old email address I no longer have access to. How do I switch the email for this account so I can log on in itunes and update this account?
    Thanks,

  • Setting up iTunes Account for Ten Year Old??

    I have a 10 year old daughter with an iPod Touch, and we have just given her a completely re-vamped Windows XP laptop. I've downloaded iTunes for her, but have not installed it as yet. What I am wondering is if I can install iTunes for her under her own name so she can sync her music with her iPod, but at the same time restricting purchases?
    I do not intend to give her carte blache access to iTunes in terms of allowing her to purchase music, but I would like to set it up so that my Wife and I can log in and purchase music for her from time to time.
    Thanks for your help.

    You have to be over 13 to have your own account.

    However you can set up a separate library for her which she can sync her iPod to.

  • I've just changed my Apple ID so therefore would like to gain access to my music in ITunes .upon tryin it says that I must wait 90 days to access my old iTunes account

    Can I access my old ITunes account or must I wait 90 days ??

    Sure, you can buy new things.  You just can't re-download past purchases for 90 days after changing the AppleID used with a computer, as the link provided by ChitlinsCC discusses.  To avoid this problem make sure you always have backups of all purchases you make which is a good idea in any case in case a distributor pulls an item from the store whereby you won't be able to redownload it.

  • Setting up Brand New iPad 2 - iTunes Sharing and Getting Files from old iTunes Account

    Greetings.  I recently purchased an iPad 2 (convert after 20 years of PC use) and have been waiting to set it up until I knew the proper way to proceed.  I have multiple questions and am hoping those of you with more Apple experience can help out a convert .
    I would like to set it up with a new iTunes account so when my wife gets her iPad 2 next year we can share apps and movies we buy on iTunes.  Do you always have to sync your iPad to your PC to get your latest purchases or can you do that via the wireless connection directly on the iPad after the initial set-up?
    That said, if one of us buys an app/movie, will we both have to carry it on our iPads or will they store remotely on iTunes or on our PCs?  I'm just concerned about maxing out the storage space on the iPad.  Do the purchases need to occur on your PC vs. the iPad itself for both to have the app/movie access?
    I've also read about iCloud issues and syncing all calendar/contact/etc. accounts if two iPads are set-up with the same Apple ID.  What's the best way to initially configure the iPads so that you avoid this headache in the future?
    Once I get all this settled and get a new iTunes shared account working, is there any way to get the movies I have in both of our old iTunes accounts into the new shared iTunes account?  Can I simply drop them on a jump drive from one PC and place them into an appropriate folder on the new PC that the iPad sync's to if it does in fact need to sync?
    Again, appreciate all the help and sorry for all of the confusion and multiple thoughts.  I would just like to set this thing up once and for all the right way.
    Thanks again

    1, you can (re-)download a lot of purchases directly on the iPad without having to connect to your computer - apps and ibooks can be re-downloaded (as long as they remain available), music can be re-downloaded in some countries; tv shows can currently only be re-downloaded in the US. Re-downloading
    2, films are a one-time only download, so you can either download it on your computer's iTunes and sync it to your device(s), or if you download it directly on the iPad you will need to then copy it to your computer's iTunes (connect the iPad and do File > Transfer Purchases) so that you can make a backup and copy it to your other iPods, iPads etc.
    3, I haven't had any problems with iCloud, but then I don't share my account so it's only my account and contacts on my iPad and iPhone.
    4, you can authorise your old accounts on your computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer) and copy the films onto it : File > Add File To Library - you can't copy or transfer content to a different account (nor can you combine accounts), they will remain tied to the original account
    The iPad's manual has some info about syncing and each of the built-in apps (the iBooks app is covered in the manual though it isn't pre-installed, but you can download it for free from the store) - the manual can be downloaded from here http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

  • I have lost my old itunes account as it had an gmail address which has been deleted by google, the rescue email address is also no longer valid

  • Transferring iPod music synced to an old iTunes account

    I have an iPod which is synced to an old iTunes account we no longer use. When the computer crashed the thousands of personal CDs we had in iTunes went away.  I now have several iPads and a new iTunes account I would like to get on the same page....how can I get the music from that device to my new devices?

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
