New computer/want old itunes account

    How can I download my itunes account that has all my music, etc onto a new computer?  I tried to download it and it it downloaded without any music, just a blank account.

You can't use 2 accounts if you want them on the one device.
What you can do is use home sharing on the computer and the iPad.

  • I have a new computer my old itunes was 6 and now I have downloaded version 11 and cannot get into my account to sync my ipod tried to upload new music and erased whole ipod

    I have new laptop and downloaded itunes version 11on it tried to add music to ipod touch and it erased everything on my ipod I had version 6 I think on my old laptop don't know how to get everything back on my ipod

    Correct.
    The ipod will sycn to one and only one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the content from the ipod.
    Copy everything form your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • My old computer crashed, how do I make my new computer my main Itunes account? It's still looking for the other when I need to back up my other apple devices.

    My old computer crashed and my itunes is on a new computer, but my I Pad and other devices keep waiting for me to hook up the old laptop for updates. How do I make my new laptop (windows) my primary I Tunes acct.?

    It does not matter what the settings are for your iPod.  iTunes syncing generally works in one direction only, from iTunes library to iPod.  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library

  • How do I sync my current iPod to my new computer? (same iTunes account)

    I've had my iPod touch for a few years, had it connected to my old laptop but I recently got a new laptop. I downloaded iTunes on my new computer and signed in to my account. I had some music downloaded from somewhere other than iTunes and I moved all those files to the new laptop's iTunes library; and there is also some new songs that I purchased from the iTunes store on this computer that are not on my old computer or my iPod. I tried syncing my iPod with my new laptop and it connect and I click sync and it goes through the 3 steps, yet none of the new music has transferred over. I'm not sure if there's something wrong here or if there's something I have to do. Please help!

    It was just the button at the bottom that said "sync" so i clicked that and it said like step 1 backing up step 2 preparing to sync and step 3 syncing yet none of the new music synced. and i went onto the tab that says music and i clicked on the box that said sync all music but it went way down to like 700 songs when i actually have over 2000 in the library. so i canceled that and didnt go through with it because i dont want to click the wrong button and lose alot of my music

  • New computer and old ITunes library

    Our old IMac finally gave up the ghost and was decommissioned because of mother board malfunction. We saved the hard drive. We replaced the old computer with a MacBook. When my daughter tries to download songs from her ITunes account to her Shuffle, all of her titles show up but the ones from the old computer are grayed out and unresponsive. When she tries to download songs she has added since we acquired our new MacBook, she gets a message that says "The IPod 'K.... Shuffle' is synced with another ITunes library. Do you want to erase this IPod and sync with this IPod's library"?
    Is it just a matter of erasing her IPod and repopulating from the ITunes on the new computer? She's afraid she'll loose all of her songs if she does that but it seems to me she can just reload after she resyncs.
    Thanks,
    Jay

    Unfortunately, her old songs were on her IPod and I thought they were on the MacBook Itunes (they appeared but were grayed out). The old songs disappeared when she restored her Ipod. I tried to access her ITunes library on the old hard drive but it says I "can't open ITunes with the current
    version" (or something close to that). All is lost?
    Thanks again,
    Jay

  • HT1420 I'm trying to authorize a new computer with an itune account, but my the computer statea that I have too many devices authorized. I only have 2 computers in my possession now. How can I deauthorize computer I don't have anymore without deauthorizin

    I have recently purchased a new lap top. Both my wife and I share our Itune music. When I purchesed the computer I was able to authorize my itunes account on it and move my purchaced music over from my iphone. However, I was not able to move my wifes music over because she has too many devices authorized under her account. Most of those computers are no longer in our possession and have been thrown out. How can she deauthorzise computer we don't have in our possession anymore without deauthorizing them all?

    Authorizing deauthorizing has NO effect at all on your itunes library.  You lose nothing.
    You should also alwasy have a backup copy.
    You MUST deauthorize all.
    You have the only answer there is.

  • TS1389 I have been trying to authorize my new computer for my itunes account for several days. When I type the correct log in and user name I receive the error message "The itunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

    I want to access my songs, but Itunes won't let me. I continue to receive the same message.

    Here is how I solved it on my Macs as well as Windows.
    Here is for the Mac:
    - Quit iTunes
    - Go to Safari and open Safari preferences (in the Safari/Preferences menu)
    - Navigate to the privacy tab.
    - Choose to "Always" block cookies (you can change that back once the issue is solved)
    - Click "Details" below "Remove All Website Data"
    - Type apple.com in the search field
    - Select apple.com and click the remove button
    - Check that the apple.com line does not re-appear (it shouldn't, but if it ever does, quit and relaunch Safari and start over)
    - Quit Safari
    - Launch iTunes
    - Connect to your iTunes account
    - Smile :-)
    Here is for Windows 7 (must be similar for other Windows versions):
    - Quit iTunes (and Safari if you have it)
    - Openan Explorer window ("My Computer" for example)
    - Well hidden in the upper bar under "Organize" choose "Folder and search options"
    - In the "view" tab, make sure that "Show hidden files, folders and drives" is checked and click OK
    - Navigate to C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies  or YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Cookies if that is easier
    - Delete everything in that folder
    - (I am not sure this is necessary) you might want to also trash items in the YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Cookies folder
    - Launch iTunes
    - Connect to your iTunes account
    - Smile :-)
    Please tell me if that works for Mac and PC (I tried other things before those instructions so an extra step might have been involved)

  • New computer, transferred old iTunes library, now cannot edit track info?

    On my old laptop (Vista) I ran my iTunes library from an external hard drive. I have now got a new laptop (Windows 7) and transferred the iTunes library information to the new computer. The media files are still stored on the external hard drive, but I am unable to edit any track information; it is all greyed out.
    I have changed folder permissions and administrator settings and ensured the files aren't read-only but still can't find a solution. Anyone know what I'm missing?

    Did you grant yourself and system full control of the media folder and all files & subfolders? See this post...

  • I need to authorize my computer to my itunes account

    i need to authorize my new computer to my itunes account and im not sure how to do that

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:
