New nano and old itunes account

My husband has the video ipod and his own itunes account. Where do I go about setting my new nano up? Do I need my own itunes account or can I just tranfer my playlists from his account to my new nano? Please help...not very good at this.

Plug the new iPod in, and then see this article for information.

HT5621 Removing and old iTunes account

I had an itunes account under a previous employer and used my work email as user name. Now, I can not delete the account and no longer have ccess to the email associated that account. How can I delete old itunes accounts???

You cannot delete accounts, you can only stop using them. Does the account have private information in it such as a credit card number? If it doesn't then don't worry. Note also anything purchased through the acount remains permanently linked to the account.

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

Ringtones and Old iTunes Account Name

I tried to create a ringtone from a song I purchased when my account was a former email address. I could not purchase the ringtone with the email address my iTunes account now has as the account name. When I "get info" on the song I see the old email address as the account name. I cannot login to iTunes with that login name since it no longer exists. Is this making sense? Any suggestions?

I did get good support by emailing Apple after a couple of tries. The person helping me did some digging and found out that I had two account names, neither of which matched up with the info on the purchased music.
The current account name would not work. Even though my purchased music listed a third account name, they suggested I try the second account and sure enough it would allow me to purchase the ringtone.
So if you can't get it to work you might try emailing Apple and asking that they check your history to see if there is an account that will work for your purchased music.

New Nano on old itunes

I just purchased a new Nano because my mini died on me, I'm wondering how do I transfer over all the account to the new Nano? Is there anything that I have to do to have Itunes recognize it as the hardware associated with my account? Thanks.

Nope. You should be able to plug it in & go.
Cheers!

New Nano with existing itunes account

I lost my Nano and just bought a new one. Is there anything special I need to do to make sure my ipod syncs with existing itunes? Can I just plug the usb connector into my desktop and it will download all my music on itunes onto my new Nano? Any help is appreciated.

Yes, just plug it in.
It will go thru the registration and then sync everything.

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.

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

I had to change e-mail addresses and no longer remember my iCloud password for my old iTunes account. My iOS wont let me delete the old account without the password, how can I troubleshoot this? I tried my new password with no luck

I had my iTunes account synced with an old e-mail account. I no longer remeber my password for this account and no longer have access to this e-mail account. I was able to change my information to a new e-mail in iTunes and iCloud with no trouble but my iOS device keeps asking me for the password to my old iTunes account which I can't remember. It defaults the e-mail reset password to the account I can no longer access and also says the date of birth I am entering does not match the records they have... I'm so confused, and I really dont get how my birthday is wrong? When trying to delete the account all together from iOS it asks again for the password...can anyone help me? Thanks!
