  • Need help linking old Apple ID to new iCloud account.

    I recently closed my iCloud account, which was the same email address for my Apple ID for personal reasons.  I was forced to use a new email to open a new iCloud account.  Now I cannot link the two because when I try to add my original Apple ID email address to my new iCloud account, it says my old email is already linked to another account. 
    How can I back things up to iCloud when the system will not let me link my original Apple ID with a new iCloud account?

    When you sign in with a new Apple ID you create a new iCloud account, so if you are signed into a new account, your backups and other synced data will be in the new account, not the old one.  Also, iCloud email accounts cannot be moved to another account.  You can either start using your new iCloud email account, give your contacts your new address and forward email sent to the old address to the new one, or you can add back your old iCloud account as a secondary account on your device by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with your old ID.  You can then turn on Mail in the secondary account and access your old email account on your device again.  The only limitation of this is that email in secondary accounts is fetch, not push email.  Push email is only supported in your primary iCloud account.

  • Link old iTunes accounts

    Just replaced my iMac.  Songs that I purchased long ago in iTunes with an old AOL screen name are being deemed as unauthorized on my new computer.  When I attempt to log on with the old screen name, it says I have to update my account and then gives me an error message.  Is there a way to link my current iTnues account with the old AOL screen name so the songs will all play again?

    it might be worth checking in with the Store to see if they can do something about transferring the authorisations. the email form at the bottom of this FAQ might be the best one to use:

  • Can I download itunes to my new mini ipad with out it automatically syncing with my windows computer. I only want it on the ipad

    Can I download iTunes to my new mini ipad without it automatically syncing over to my Window vista computer. I only want tunes on my ipad I want to keep my computer separate

    iTunes cannot be downloaded to an iPad.  iTunes on an iPad is already preinatalled so there's no need to download it, and on the iPad its the store access. The icon looks like this:

  • HT4527 I want to give my iTunes another user name and email with out losing my purchases

    How can I change the name and email on my iTunes account without losing all my stuff

    You can change your AppleID/e-mail address.  In iTunes on the Menu Bar go to Store/View my Apple ID. It'll take you to your account page in iTunes. Where it says Apple ID(your e-mail address) there is a link to edit that information. It shows your current e-mail and password/verify password. Below that is a link to change your security questions and other Apple ID details appleid.apple.com.
    On that page it says if you change your e-mail address it'll send a verification e-mail to that address.. and that new Apple ID/e-mail address will be used to access all Apple services(iTunes etc)

    How to reset your Apple ID password.
    Go to iforgot.apple.com and type in your Apple ID, then click 'Next'.
    Verify your date of birth, then click 'Next'.
    You'll be able to choose one of two methods to reset your password, either E-Mail Authentication or Answer Security Questions.
    If neither method works, then go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.

    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.  This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't work, or  there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.

  • 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?

  • 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

  • How to sync old iTunes account with new.

    I have an old iPod nano that was linked to an old iTunes account that I don't use anymore.  How can I get the music off of that iPod and into the new iTunes account?

  • My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends.  After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account.  I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account

    My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends.  After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account.  I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account, and staring over.  I just really want to get the new Ipod under my own account, and be able to use it...

    There is no such thing as a "sub-account."  Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account."  Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases.  iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account).  You'll need to clarify...
    So, this is what I think you are saying.  You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend.  Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library. 
    You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library.  Is that on a different computer?  How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
    You got a new iPod.  What is your "old iTunes"?  Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend?
