New iPhone, Old iPod- How do I transfer the iPod to a new user?

I recently bought the iPhone 3GS. When plugged in to my computer, it synced right up with iTunes. My old iPod also works great with it. But now my husband wants my iPod and his own account. How can we open him an account with iTunes for the old iPod without losing all that is already on it? I can't find anything on transferring ownership.

What kind of iPod do you have?
If it's an iPod touch, only data from one iTunes account can be synced to it. If it's a nano or a classic, you can sync data from multiple accounts fairly easily.
Let me know!

New iPhone Old Library - how do I get the songs on the library on my windows computer (produced for now dead iPod) onto my new iPhone (different ID)?

My library will not sync with my iPhone. The library was created using one apple id (for an iPod purchased while living in UK) and the iPhone has a different apple id (purchased while living in Aus). I have tried connecting and syncing my iPhone but the library doesn't change in either direction. Please help!

t would seem that I would lose all of my stuff if I answered yes.
\Correct.
It is in sync with your previous computer.
How do i get my Ipod in sync with the new installed Itunes?
The correct answer to your question is to plug in the iPod and select yes.
It will sync your iPod with your new library which contains nothing.
Sync between iPod and iTunes is one way. Computer to iPod.
The question you really want to ask is, “how do I get the songs off my iPod onto my computer?”
Go to www.yamipod.com.
This will allow you to get everything of the iPod and into iTunes.

I recently got the iPhone 4s, but my iPod has a lot of apps with a lot of data on them and don't want to start over. I already synced my iPhone from the computer that had all my apps from my iPod, how do i transfer the data over, the other apps did.

If I wiped my phone I wouldn't have the contacts on my phone to send to my self. I would need to take just the contacts from my back up. I would have to do this through iTunes and I don't see how I can just extract the contacts only from my back up. From what I can figure out it is all or nothing

I have the computer with my itunes library on it but no longer have access to the email account the library was set up with. How can I transfer the library to a new appleid/email?

I have the computer that holds my itunes library. However, I no longer have access to the email account (and therefore apple account) it was set up with so can't sync/update etc. How can I transfer the library to my new apple id? Any help gratefully received as searched the internet but can't find the answer!
Have ipod touch 4th gen, ipod touch 5th gen and ipod nano 7th gen all to sync to library.

Hi Stillme,
You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another. You need to go into the old Apple ID and change it to the new email address instead of using a new Apple ID altogether.
Apple - My Apple ID
If you can't remember the password to the old ID, then click on Reset your Password, and answer the Security Questions. If you can't remember the Security Questions, contact iTunes Support and have them reset:
APPLE ID SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
Once you get into your old account, Edit the Apple ID to your new email address. Before you will be able to do that you are going to have to change the email address on the new Apple ID to something else.
Cheers,
GB

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the Mac as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your Mac first.
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.

In this case you would have to reset your new device (Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings) in order to restore it from a backup during the device setup.

HT1206 Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

OK I have done this recently and I found the answer by googling it......remember to import your new library.xml file to the new laptop as well!
Here is how you keep that precious library data eg playlists, ratings etc....
On your old laptop open iTunes - File - Library - Export Library and save the Library.xml file to somewhere you can easily transfer to your new laptop (eg a hard drive).
Then copy your music to your new location.
Open iTunes on your new laptop - Edit - Preferences - Advanced - Change Location
Enter the path to the new location of your files.
OK now here's the part I am confused about.....I think you de-select the keep iTunes organised and de-select copy music to iTunes options in the Advanced tab before closing it.
You will not see the music listed in iTunes yet, don't worry, we're getting to that next.
Go to to File - Library - Import Library and import the Library.xml file you exported from your old laptop.
Your new music files should then appear in iTunes with their info (ratings, play counts, playlists etc) still intact.
Then you can change the advanced settings back to whatever you like.
A side note and a Word of warnning - disaster resulted for me when I let the newest versison iTunes reorganise my files according to iTunes preferences - half the music had broken links after that including ones in my many playlists Boo hoo
