New iTunes account on machine with existing iTunes purchases

On my MBP I have all my music, tv shows etc that I copied from my iMac. I authorized the MBP and it works fine. Now, can I create a new apple id for my husband (as he will use the MBP) so he can download new stuff (on his own account) AND still have access to the 1200+ tracks already there?

Thanks, works!

Is it possible to create a new iCloud account and permanently transfer existing store purchases to it?

Is it possible to create a new iCloud account and permanently transfer existing store purchases to it?

Thank you for taking the time to try to answer my question. Let me phrase it slightly differently...
I have a very old appleid that I've used for store purchases. I had a MobileMe account that was upgraded to iCloud. I'd like to merge the account data. I've been hoping Apple would come up with a solution to this, but they haven't yet.
So, I'm wondering if I should make a new account of some sort and try to transfer data to it from both of the old accounts. It sounds like that can't work.
I suppose then that the only thing to do is manually transfer all the information from the old MobileMe account to the primary appleid (which is some sort of iCloud + Store combination, no?). That might not be that hard to do, but it is somewhat high risk.

Will new Firefox Account sync (PC) with my old Firefox Home (iPhone), if so how?

Will new Firefox Account sync (PC) with my old Firefox Home (iPhone), if so how?
Do I need to update my iPhone Firefox Home sync app? It currently uses my old account.
Thank you

Firefox Home was dropped from support well before the new Sync system was developed, so no it will not work with the new system. We are however working on a new product for iOS, which will be able to sync with Firefox in the future using the new system.
As it is, please update your Firefox to the new Sync method ([[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]).

How do I do that I despreatly need help!!!

To migrate your phone to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep on the phone, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your other devices won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7) and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted . Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.

HT1727 My old computer died before i could put my new itunes purchases on it. Is there anyway to get them to my new computer? The hard drive somehow fried and is of no use.

I had just purchased like $30 worth of new songs and my old computer. two days later it died on me before i could upload them onto my ipod touch. i tired to get geek squad at best buy to transfer all of my music from my old computer to the new one but they said it could not be done since i somehow fried the hard drive. so i was wondering if there is anyway to get at least my newly purchased songs back? i got my old purchased songs off of the ipod i just want the new ones.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for this very reason.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

Hi Vikcy,
Company Code is legal Entity and core component in FI.
Now u r planning create new company codes, just check below:
01. Chart of Accounts:
- You may use existing chart of account for new com. code
02. Controlling Area:
- Check the feasibility of cross company code controlling or not. If you maintain one:one relation in existing controlling area, u need to create new one.
03. SD: Core component is Sale Organization. U need to assign them to ur Company Codes. So check accordingly.
03. MM/ PP: Plants and Purchasing Organization need to assign to Company Codes.
Hope it will give you idea on a whole to plan, how u need plan to go ahead.
Regards,
Venkat

How do I sync in my new itouch to a computer with existing ipod account?

Hello!
How do I set up my new itouch to the same computer (PC) that has an existing ipod account. I would like to set it up as a different account for the reason this itouch is for my son. I would like to use 1 computer for 2 ipod & itouch systems. Is there "step by step" information that anyone could guide me to? I've looked a little, but haven't found anything useful. I've tried to do this myself, but when I hook up the new itouch, it takes me to "my" ipod account vs. taking me to "set up a new product".
Thanks!

Will iCloud enable new iTunes purchases to be automatically downloaded to multiple iTunes libraries under different logins on the SAME iMac?

So I have a customer with one iMac and a user login on that iMac for each member of the family. Under each user login, iTunes is configured with the same Apple ID so any purchases are made on the one account. What they want is that no matter who purchases iTunes content from the iTunes Store, it appears in ALL their iTunes libraries. If I configure iCloud with the SAME Apple ID under each login, and tick the 3 "Automatically Download New Purchases" boxes in iTunes under each login, then will new purchases be automatically downloaded to every library when the library owner logs in? Or does iCloud only enable this functionlity based on a hardware ID, ie it will only work once per machine rather than once per user login?
There must be a simple yes/no answer to this, but it's a fair bit of work to set up a test rig so I'm hoping somebody already knows!
Thanks in advance.

Hello campin,
Congrats on your now MacBook Pro and welcome to the Apple family!
So, I'm just going to address each question directly.
1) Short answer: yes. The article "iTunes 11 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store" goes over the process of downloading all of your previously purchased content.
2) When you plug in your device you should see that iTune will allow you to configure the syncing options for each type of content. See "iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer" for more info.
3) Automatic downloads is something that you can disable, but is enabled by default. This is also something that be different for Music and Apps. See "iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads"
It's a lot of information, but that should help you out and enjoy your new MacBook Pro!

Computer died & had to be restored before I could sync new iTune purchases

I made several purchases through iTunes store and before I could sync to iPod my computer died. With new computer, I can ee past purchases on activity but how can I get them to iPod without having to purchase again?

If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

Moving to new Mini, what to do with existing Airport settings

Hi Everyone!!
I'm picking up my new Mac Mini this afternoon (my older one is now in year 5!). The question I have is, what is the best way to hook up my Airport Express for the new Mini? Since I don't expect to use both computers on my wireless network, I'd like to simply use my Express (used exclusively for my Canon wireless printer) via my new machine. Do I do a reset to factory default for the new Mini? I have just one 23" Cinema display, so I assume I will not be adding the new Mini to the existing network, but starting all over with installing the software from the disk and setting everything up from scratch. Or, is there a possibility of adding the new machine to the network after unplugging the older computer, with the Airport settings intact? With Airport Express still plugged into my UPS and active, is this feasible?
Thanks

One question comes to mind: You mentioned no need to install the Express disk on the new Mini, simply join the network. As I will only use the Airport network for my wireless printer -- my internet connection is via an ethernet cable connected to an ATT U-verse router -- will I have any need for the Airport utility that's on the disk, the same utility on my old Mini? What if I need to check on my settings after I disconnect my older Mini. I know, maybe a stupid question.
hi jim,
your new mini will have the current (as of the date it shipped) version of airport utility installed. the settings are on the express not in airport utility. you manage the settings on the express with airport utility.
you shouldn't run into problems. if you do, you still can pop in the disk and install the software that's on it.
and you can always post back here

Adding account to computer with existing account

Hi, my computer recently crashed but, luckily, I have all of my songs purchased from Itunes on my Ipod. The other computer in our house contains my brother's Itunes account. I have been reading the information on how to authorize another account and how to manually manage an Ipod, and I have authorized my account for his computer. However, I have not seen the issue I'm most worried about addressed which is my brother's Itunes library. I am afraid that if I plug my Ipod in and begin to transfer the songs on my Ipod to my newly authorized Itunes account on my brother's computer that it will erase all of his Itunes library. Can this happen if I am signed in to my account? The only account that has ever been on this computer is his and I don't want to interfere. Sorry if this has already been addressed but I had not seen it anywhere. Thanks in advance for any help.

Welcome to AD!
My advice is to make a new Windows user account for your name, and then start iTunes after you log in there.
Use the transfer purchases feature to get your songs off your iPod, and it will not touch your brother's account, iTunes library, or music files, at all.
Here are some Apple articles on that:
Multiple iPods on one PC (use method 1): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495

Migrating iLife apps from new iMac to G5 machine with Leopard

I bought the iMac which came with iLife and then built up a dual proc G5 to do music and video on. I don't want to have to buy a copy of iLife since I already have it but really want Garage Band, Movie Maker and iDVD on the G5. I started to migrate these with Migration Assistant but it didn't give me an option to choose just those apps. Is there a problem with me migrating all apps and then just deleting the ones I don't need on the G5? I assumed this would move the licenses for the apps from the iMac to the G5. Can someone confirm if the Migration effectively uninstalls the app on the machine it's being migrated from?
I'm not interested in making a copy of these three apps and am happy to delete them from iMac once moved over but it's not clear to me that this will work (even thought guys as the Apple store said I could do it).
Thanks

The short answer is probably no.
I have 2 imacs both Intel.
I was having a problem with iLife apps on my older imac and so I dumped the iLife apps to reinstall them.
I inserted the install disk for my newer imac and it refused to allow me to install from that disk.
I used Pacifist and it worked for all apps except iPhoto which would not work properly even after several attempts.
I located my iLife 08 disk and it installed fine.
Despite the fact that most of the iLife apps seemed to install using Pacifist, they were suspect so I installed them all afresh from the ILife 08 disk.
The last thing I need is a program that may screw up and lose some of my photos, movies or compositions, especially when the package is reasonably priced.

How do i set up an iCloud account to work with existing hotmail account

So i have iphone 4s and a macbook and i want the email address that i used to have sync via fetching the data manually to work with icloud, I made an icloud account so that i could do this but now that and the other email account are seperate so nothing ever syncs, how can i just add my hotmail account to icloud to make it sync to my iphone automatically?

There is no way to setup iCloud on a PC, it must be setup first on a compatible Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Can I change the progress of my games from my father's GC to my new GC? I have been using the games in my father's GC. So all the GC points are in that account and I want to change those points to my new GC account( it's with an other email add.)

hello guys I am in a situation. I had been using my father's apple/Icloud account till now. And I had created a game centre account using it. Now he asked me to make a new ID for myself and I created it. And I also created the game centre account using it. But I found that the points that I got from each game was missing. The progress of the game was still there but the points of game centre were missing. Those points were still there in my father's GC account. Can I transfer those points to my account?

No, you cannot do a transfer.
