Old Account need access to move purchased songs to new account

I am trying to authorize songs that were purchased on my old account onto my new laptop. The account is several years old and was not used and since the email address attached is no longer valid and cannot remember password to obtain songs purchased. Is there anyway to get account tranferred to new email account and authorize those songs purchased?

I'm afraid you can't moved protected purchases between accounts. The account ID doesn't have to be a working email address for you to log in with it, but you will have to get the password reset.
You do this at http://appleid.apple.com , but if there isn't a functioning address associated with the ID you will have to go through Support. Go to http://expresslane.apple.com - select 'iTunes' then 'iTunes Store', then 'Account Management' and then select 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. Follow the instructions, which include contacting them if necessary.

  • I need to change my Apple ID which is my current email address. Will I lose access to my purchased songs etc. if I do that?

    I have a defunct e-mail address that is my apple id. Not an icloud or mac e-mail.
    If I change my e-mail I have to change my apple id.
    I'm afraid I won't be able to access my purchased songs, etc. if I do that.
    As it is I don't get notification of any new purchases.
    Comments / suggestions are appreciated ;-)

    Does adding an alternate e-mail address help me at all.
    Can I, will I, get purchase updates at the alternate e-mail on the ID?
    That would spare me the loss of purchased items that I'm not willing to give up at least....

  • TS1702 I am trying to download my previously purchased songs to. new computer. No download option appears tho songs there. Says original password needed but I've changed Is this the prob?

    Trying to download previously purchased items to new computer. Found them but there is no download option. Instr say must be password used when originally purchased. Could that be problem? I've changed mine. I did not back up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello, johnandsteph. 
    You are allowed a total of 5 computers at a time to be authorized to play content.  It is not necessary to deauthorize an old computer if you are attempting to add a new one unless you have reached your five total allotment.  From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer and enter your Apple ID and password.  At that point you should be able to access your previous purchases.  I have included two links listed below.  The first one goes over authorization and deauthorization.  The second article covers how to download past purchases.

    If you are still unable to successfully authorize a computer, you may need to reach out to us via Contact Apple Support.

  • Move purchased song from one library to another on same computer

    I have 2 iTunes libraries on the same computer.  I purchased a song from itunes and downloaded it to the wrong library by mistake.  How do I move/copy/transfer this one song to the correct library, please.  Both libraries are set for sharing but I can't work out how to move the song.
    I am running itunes 10 on a new iMac.
    Apologies if this has been covered before, but I couldn't find a thread coving this topic.

  • Move purchased music to new account

    My son is 17 and we would like to allow him to have his own itunes account.  He has been using our family itunes account on his ipod.  How can we transfer the music he's purchased on the family account to his own itunes account?

    I have a similar question. I have been buying apps and music on an Itunes accound for several years. I have mobile me but didn't set it up with that account and I should have. I would like to use one account for everything though since the new cloud and everything has come out. Is there anyway you know of I can create my new account and sync to it without losing eveything on my Iphone? I haven't tried it for fear of losing everything. I know that have stuff in place so you can't plug in and get someone elses music and apps but if it is already on my phone and blongs to me can I just move it to my new apple ID?
    Thanks

  • Loading Previously Purchased Songs on New Computer

    I'm looking to load previously purchased songs onto a new computer. My old computer received a virus (those people are going to ****) and I want to recapture all the music I previously purchased. Is that possible?
    I tried the "check for purchases" under the tools button but only two songs came through.

    Assuming you have an iPod - hook it up to your "puter & you should receive a dialogue box which states that there are songs on your iPod that are not on your "puter "do you wish to transfer them?
    Press Ok & sit back & relax. If not call apple & explain your plight to them, they can do this as I found out ( before I sussed connecting my iPod up though!). However they will ask you to detail all your purchase dates & order No.s etc. but you will be able to get this info by logging on to your iTunes account. Tiresome but it worked for me!.
    Hope this helps

  • Cannot listen or purchase songs under new layout of iTunes 9.0

    Under the new layout I cannot listen or purchase songs. Also the homepage is basically just blank with only the right column with top songs, albums showing. The bizarre thing is that all comes out fine with the pages that have kept the old layout such as iTunesU or some iMix (was even able to download a song). Any help to fix this? Thanks in advance.

    I am having the same problem and saw this in a previous thread -
    1. restored system to yesterday (before I'd attempted the whole update fiasco)
    2. backup itunes library
    3. used revo uninstaller for a complete uninstall
    4. restart
    5. run clean install off new installer download (even though logged in as admin, I also used the right click "run as Admin" option for good measure)
    And voila upgrade
    Yes, it's a pain, but it did work. My best guess is that something was corrupted during the first failed update attempt, which resulted in an incomplete uninstall, thus screwing up the clean install. But that's just speculation...
    I want to do this with mine but don’t know how to “restore system to yesterday”? let me know if you find out how?

  • Purchased Songs on New computer

    I have used iTunes on my iPod touch and my computer to purchase songs, but my computer has a virus and I have lost everything and now I am on a different one. I have downloaded iTunes to this computer, so is there any way that I can get the songs that I have already bought onto this computer?

    You can use iTunes to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    One more thing, if your iPod is set to sync automatically you need to take care connecting to a different and possibly empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    Alternatively open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" and choose Ok. Then connect your iPod.
    If at any point you get a message that your iPod is linked to another library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.

  • Why can't I download purchased songs on new computer?

    Okay so I'm having a slight issue. I just got a new MacBook Pro and I'm having issues. I am attempting to download my purchased songs. I am in iTunes and when I attempt to download it prompts me to enter my password. Upon doing this it starts to download then gives me an error message followed by prompting me once again to enter my password. I know this is not a wrong password for sure haha I've double and triple checked. I have tried restarting iTunes my computer an other restart based fixes. Just really unsure what is happening.

    Contact iTunes Support -> http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
    As I'm not sure why that would be happening...

  • Failed hard drive-Can I switch authorization for purchased songs to new HD?

    I have a pc that had a hard drive failure, I had a back up of my library and playlists so I was able to import to the new hard drive but all my purchased songs say that this is not an authorized pc. I can authorize it, but that will use up one of my 5 allowed and this is the same pc. Is there any way for me to transfer the authorization to the new hard drive? Thanks

    You'll have to authorise the new hard drive just as if it was a different computer, you can't deauthorise a 'dead' installation on it's own. However once you've reached the limit of 5 authorisations, you have the option once a year to deauthorise them all in one go: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • Uploading Previously purchased songs to new computer

    I'm having trouble tranferring previously purchased songs from my IPOD nano to my new lap top. When I attempt to transfer, about 25 of my 100 previously purchased songs transfer and the remainder do not. Something about not being authorized to transfer to this computer. All 100 songs were purchased off I-Tunes.

    I am having similar problems. I have my library (and playlists) on my new computer, the new compte has been authorised and the previously purchased songs play on the computer. However, since then I have connected my ipod for a update and all my previously purchased songs were removed from my ipod. Why has it done this? The songs are still in my new computer and are playable. Can they be put back on my ipod?

  • How do I connect my iPad wirelessly to my Mac lion osx server to be able to access photos, movies and songs

    I would like to connect my iPad with my Mac server so that I can access songs, movies and photos on the server. How can I do this?

    I think you might be a little confused between iTunes on the iPad and iTunes on the Mac.
    You cannot update iTunes on the iPad separately from the entire operating system on your iPad.
    Its iTunes on your Mac that is not up to date.
    I order to sync an iPad running iOS 6 or later (you indicate yours is on iOS 6.1.3) you must have iTunes 10.7 or later ON YOUR COMPUTER.
    iTunes 10.7 requires a Mac OSX version 10.6.8 or later.
    You indicate that your Mac is running OSX 10.5.8 (Leopard). That's not good enough. You need a Mac with OSX higher than 10.5.8. Depending on which Mac you have you might be able to update the OSX on the Mac to what's needed for iTunes 10.7.
    If you reply here with the type of Mac you have, the type of processor it has and the amount of RAM it has, we might be able to tell you if you can update it and how to do it. Not all macs can be updated to the required OSX version.
