Port previously downloaded music to new account

How do I port my previously downloaded music from my iPhone to a new account in iTunes? I have opened a new iTunes account of my own and would like to sync my iPhone to it. I keep getting a message saying if I sync it will erase any previously downloaded music from my device. I am not sure what to do???
Also I want to set up iCloud with my new applied account but it keeps trying to log into my previous account that is my parents...how do I fix this?
Thanks

Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?

HT204053 Previously downloaded music lost

I have downloaded music in Apple in the past, then forgot my sign-in information, so created different accounts over the years. I am now using Apple much more, but would like to find the previously downloaded music. How can I find these previous accounts I had with Apple?

Just bought an iPad 2 and plugged it in to my home PC and downloaded apps using my wife's iTunes account. I then set up my own iTunes account on my office PC, and none of the apps I downloaded in the new account appear on my iPad.

I just bought an iPad 2 - I plugged it in to my home PC and downloaded a couple of apps using my wife's iTunes account. Since I bought the device for work, I then set up my own iTunes account on my office PC. The problem I am having is that none of the apps I downloaded in the new account appear on my iPad. I can see them on screen #2 in iTunes and I know how to swipe to get to that screen.
I've tried everything mentioned - I authorized my office computer (but not my home one - could this be the problem?). I turned on home network file sharing. Checked to make sure parental controls are off. I'm not sure what to do next.

When you installed iTunes on your work computer, then connected your iPad to that computer, it wiped what was on the iPad, then put the iTunes library (nothing) from the work computer onto the iPad. You can try copying the iTunes folder from your home computer over to your work computer, but since the apps were bought with a different account, they may not load or update properly.

I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?

Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

When I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, my previously downloaded music in iTunes library disappeared on my computer? There was no warning of this happening. What do I do?

Ok, so I downloaded the newest version of iTunes on my home PC, and the previously downloaded music in my iTunes library disappeared on my computer. What happened? I can sync my iPod but I am not sure how long ago I synced it so I may be missing some music downloads. Why did this happen, and more importantly, why didn't iTunes warn me it could happen and advise me to sync with another device before the download? I am not very happy about this and it's a huge issue for iTunes if this is happening. It makes me very wary of iTunes.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps then you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Don't forget, you get a limited number of burns of DRM music to CDs which then behave as usual.

Hi,

My itunes library says it cannot locate previously downloaded music

I'm preparing to copy my itunes library to an old ipod then to my new pc, and when checking several of my previously downloaded cd's, Itunes says it can no longer locate the files. When you click to locate, it cannot find those. I'm at 27+ cd's now and I've not checked everything. It's changing on a daily basis and continues to loose more music.

A new Mac comes with 90 days of free tech support from AppleCare.

Error transferring previously downloaded music to ...

Hi all
I have an X6-00 32GB and following the upgrade to Ovi Unlimited from ComeWithMusic I have tried to transfer all the songs I have downloaded to my phone. (For info, I have only ever registered one phone and one PC). Anything I downloaded under ComesWithMusic cannot be transferred, but anything new downloaded from OvI Unlimited transfers fine.
Does anyone know a solution to this, I know I could redownload the music, but that will take a long time and not everything is still available.
Thanks in advance
Gary

I have a Nokia N97 mini & I previously had an N81. I have the same problem as you. However I have come to the conclusion that I did not keep my username and password the same and therefore cannot access my previous downloads. I tried the option of deleting a track and re-downloading but this does not work because I cannot view my previosuly downloaded tracks as my Ovi login has superceded my Nokia Music login when I was asked to merge the 2 subscriptions. This is really annoying as I love to have my tracks on 1 device.Is there a way that nokia can create patch for this problem as there are many customers that have this problem and have already paid for their tracks.

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
Andrew

Getting divorced. Want to move my music to new account

Hi everyone. I hope you can help me. I am currently in the process of getting a divorce and need to move my music from our joint iTunes account to my own separate iTunes account. She has her music she wants to keep, and I need to move my music to my new account. Is there an easy way to do this? I do not trust her enough anymore to continue a joint account.

Is there an easy way to do this?
Click here and request that the iTunes Store staff allow you to redownload the music under your new account, or purchase it again. Every purchased song, including iTunes Plus content, contains the account name it was purchased from.
