Need to switch my iTunes account to a new Windows computer (with other issues)

I am trying to switch my iTunes account over to my Windows laptop. My old Windows computer is completely dead at the moment but I am trying to find someone to recover the data. All I have at this point is my ipod with the music on it, but I'm afraid that if I plug it into my laptop, it will delete the music from my account. Also, I need to figure out how to change the iTunes user on my laptop. My husband got an account which he never used, so I just need to log out and log on with my account that has the music synced the the ipod, but I couldn't find a way to do that. Any suggestions?

    ITUNES HAS CHARGED MY DEBIT CARD $99.99 FOR GLOBAL WAR RIOT-SOME GAME I DID NOT KNOW WAS LOADED ON MY OTHER PHONE; HOWEVER, WHEN I PULLED UP THIS APP TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS WAS I SURPRISED TO SEE I COULD DOWNLOAD IT FOR 'FREE'. I HAVE CONTACTED ITUNES THROUGH THIS REDICULOUSLY CHICKEN SH_T SYSTEM THEY USE SO THEY DO NOT ACTUALLY HAVE TO HEAR HOW UPSET A PERSON IS NOW THAT THEY CANNOT BUY FOOD FOR THEIR CHILDREN BECAUSE OF A MISTAKE MADE ON ITUNES PART.  I DID RECEIVE AN EMAILED RESPONSE FROM STEPHANIE WHO ADVISED THIS WAS PUCHARED ON A PHONE THAT HAS PURCHASED DOWNLOADS IN THE PAST. I WONDER IF SHE THOUGHT TO LOOK AT MY ENTIRE DOWNLOAD HISTORY AND DISCOVER THAT NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN PURCHASED ON MY ITUNE ACCOUNT IN THE AMOUNT REMOTELY CLOSE TO WHAT THEY ARE CHARGING ME NOW.  THAT IS BECAUSE I DO TRY TO MONITOR THIS ACCOUNT AND OBVIOUSLY THIS LAST PURCHASE WAS DONE WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE UNTIL I CHECKED MY ONLINE BANKING ACCOUNT, WHICH I DO EVERY DAY.  TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE APP STATES IT IS FREE TO INSTALL WHEN YOU PULL IT UP SO NO ONE HAS CLARIFIED TO MY WHERE THE $99.99 COMES INTO PLAY.  I WILL NOT DROP THIS UNTIL MY BACK ACCOUNT HAS BEEN PROPERERLY CREDITED IN THE SAME TIME FRAME IT TOOK YOU TO TAKE MY MONEY. I WILL LAUNCH A COMPLAINT WITH EVERY POSSIBLE ENTITY IN THE ITUNES COMPANY AND BUSINESSES OUTSIDE THAT REGULATE THEIR BUSINESS UNTIL THIS HAS RESOLVED IN MY FAVOR AS I AM THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN VICTIMIZED BY A COMPANY I INVITED INTO MY TELEPHONE NETWORK IN GOOD FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Reading that is giving me a headache, how about normal type.

  • HT1329 Trying to transfer playlist from iPod nano (gen4) to a new windows computer with iTunes.

    We are trying to connect a iPod Nano (gen4) to a new Win7 computer.  The iPod doesn't show up on iTunes and the message says that it can't be synched to a another computer.  There are more playlist on the iPod that are not on the computer.  How do I connect this iPod to the new Win7 box and transfer the playlist to iTunes.

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Iphone update needs to connect to iTunes - I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER WITH ITUNES?

    My macbook gave up for good and I haven't purchased a new one yet, so I have been using an old PC (boo, I know). It doesn't have iTunes, so I have been using my iPhone4 for everything. My iphone has EVERYTHING stored on it (lots of songs, movies, books, etc) so I couldnt connect it to itunes on a new computer without using a third party app to download my stuff.
    Okaaaaay so:
    Tonight my iphone told me it was time to update, so I did. It worked fine until the picture came up on the screen telling me to connect my phone to itunes! This is a major problem for me because I do not have itunes on a computer, and if I download it, I would lose everything from my phone. As of right now I cannot use my phone because it is only the picture telling me to connect to itunes. The picture stays on for 30 seconds and then the phone will turn off, unless it is plugged in, then it will just stay on with the picture. What do I do??? I'm so paniced to lose everything from my phone and don't know what to do!

    P.S. If the apple store needs my phone, can they open it without knowing my passcode? I have confidential stuff on there that I can't have anyone but a selected few see.

    Unfortunately, to fix your phone will require restoring it through iTunes. Since you have no backup of the data on your phone, there is nothing to restore back to your phone. Thus, your data is gone. You can either download iTunes to your computer & restore your phone or go to an Apple store & have the geniuses do the same. In either case, your only option will be to restore as a new device, erasing all data on your phone.
    Not want you want to hear, but it is what it is.

  • HT204053 How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    If you are asking because you are getting an 'account not in this country' error message then on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on the device and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section on that screen and select Nigeria.
    If you need to update your address on your account from the US to Nigeria then on your computer's iTunes you should be able to do so by signing into your account via the Store > View Account menu option and updating your address, or on an iOS device you can do it by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store similar to above.

  • Need to move my iTunes account from UK to the US and getting a message that I need to cancel Match.

    I have moved to the US and want to switch my iTunes account from the UK store to the US to get geo restricted content and start paying in dollars.  But I'm getting a message that I need to cancel iTunes Match first.  I just signed up a month ago so don't want to throw money away just to switch to iTunes Match in the US.  Would appreciate any thoughts on how to "transfer" my Match service.

    same thing here but i wrote to apple and told them i didnt care cancelling my itunes match account so that i could change country, and they told me it wasnt possible, that i had to wait a hole year for the subscription to end..

  • I need to create a iTunes account using my work email but...

    I need to create a iTunes account using my work email address but when I try it says that there is already an iTunes account linked to my work email - I have never done this so I know that I have not created this and therefore can't answer the security questions in order to check it out.  It also means I can't set up this iTunes account - any ideas?

    When Apple increased security on the accounts we were asked to create security questions and answers and to offer a rescue email address, could you have used the work address then?
