Revive old itunes account with email that no longer works??

i have an old account under [email protected]
Apple says it has been disabled, when i try to set new password i can not because that email has been dead form years.
a few years ago i started a new account with a different email address but i want all my old music back.
i just imported all my old music from a ten year old windows XP machine to my new windows 8 machine, now itunes wants me to enter the password for [email protected] to allow these old songs on my new itunes account

By mistake, I created iTunes account using email that was used in my main acc.

Hi! By mistake, I created iTunes account using email that was used in my main acc. After that, everything i have bought/downloaded and etc disappeared.What should i do?

The primary email addresses on iTunes accounts have to be unique, you shouldn't be able to create a new iTunes account with the same primary email address unless the existing account had been deleted (only iTunes Support can potentially delete an iTunes account).
Had you asked iTunes Support to delete your existing account ? If you did then that would also have deleted its purchase history. Or had you changed the primary email address on the old account ?

HT1727 Can I sync old iTunes account with a new iTunes account?

I have a previous iTunes account with purchased music but the email address is no longer active. Is it possible to move that music to my new iTunes account?

No, you can't move content between accounts nor merge accounts - all content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it. You should be able to update the email address on the account (you can't use an address that is in use on another account), either via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

How to sync old iTunes account with new.

Get password to old itunes account with defunct email?

At one time I had two accounts under which I bought music, not knowing any better. Now on my new computer there are a bunch of songs I can't download to my iPhone because the computer is not "authorized" for those. I have forgotten the password and the email address is long gone. How can I get those back?
Thank you!

How do i share the purchases from my old itunes account, with my new itunes account and id?

My wife and i are getting divorced and I, i have had an itunes account for a few years. We recently switched my credit card infor for hers before the divorce decision. Now I have adjusted the account to give her the original account and I have created a new second account with my credit card information. I need to know how to make the purchaces from the original account avaiable to the new account.

Do you have your purchases on a backup drive ? If not then depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload some/all of your iTunes purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes - what you can redownload will depend upon what country that you are in (music, films, TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all ; audiobooks and ringtones are one-time only downloads), and whether they are still in your country's store (rights-holders occasionally remove things).
If you do redownload an account's past purchases then you may tie that computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - so you won't be able to use iTunes Match or automatic downloads or redownload past purchases from another account until the 90 days have completed.

How do I delete an old CalDAV account from iPhone that no longer exists?

A few months ago I tried to set up synching between my work calendar (via a CalDAV account) on my work Macbook, my iPhone and my home iMac. I never could get the account to set up in iCal on my iMac but it worked fine on my work Macbook and my iPhone. But we eventually went to using Google Apps, so now I don't need it.
The problem is that despite having removed the account entirely on my work Macbook's iCal, the calendar remains on my iPhone and keeps notifying me of reminders that had been set up there. When I go into my iPhone's settings, into Mail, Calendars, etc., the calendar is not there anymore (because I removed it when we got rid of using it at work) so I can't delete it.
I thought maybe somehow it was still hanging around on my home iMac, despite never having been able to set it up to work, but it's not there, either. The only place it exists is when I open iCal on my iPhone, although there's no way for me to delete it and when the notifications pop up I can't edit them, either.
Am I just out of luck here and stuck with this rogue calendar? When I plug my iPhone into my home iMac, where it's set up to sync, it tells me that my calendars are being synched over the air, not through iTunes. But when I go into system settings on that computer and force it to resync calendars, it doesn't get rid of the old CalDAV account on my phone.
Any ideas?? I'm stumped.

If your device is signed into an old ID of yours that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

The computer my iTunes account was locked to no longer works

As the title says my computer that has all my tv shows and that on no longer works.
I was reading when I bought the tv series and that, that its locked to one computer only. So what happens now that its broken?
Do I have to rebuy everything when I get a new computer or am I able to re download once I get a new computer?
Is there anything I can do?
thanks

Content is not locked to a single computer. You do, however, get only one download per purchase for any content other than apps and iBooks. So unless you have a backup, as iTunes itself advises you to make, or have those shows on an iOS device, you may indeed have to repurchase them.
If you lack a backup and an iOS device with those shows, your best hope is that the hard drive in your old computer still works. If it does, you can mount it to your new computer, either internally if there's room for another drive or in an external case. You should then be able to drag the TV shows and any other content from the old hard drive into the iTunes window in your new computer. Once there, all you should have to do is authorize the computer to your iTunes Store account (Store menu in iTunes -> Authorize This Computer).

Can I merge my old iTunes account with my new iCloud account?

I think I recall Apple maybe mentioning something like this before, but I've got an Apple ID from years ago with a @gmail.com that I don't use anymore a iCloud account I use all the time. It's not a huge deal to log in and log back out with my other account to get apps and such I bought on my old account but I was wondering if there is a way to merge the two.

Your music will only be where you put it.
Copy it from your backup copy of your old comuter to your new one.
If for some reson you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some content in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How can I sign out from old icloud email on my device? I changed email recently and by mistake restored my new iphone 6 from old back up with email that doesn't exist. Pls help!

I have changed i cloud email recently, and wanted to set up my new iphone 6 from 2 months old back up. Later I found out that icloud has old email, but it doesn't recognize password to sign out because it is not in i cloud system anymore. Now I cant turn off stupid icloud to reset my new iphone 6
How can I change icloud email or reset and erase new phone 6 if it is stuck on an old apple id which doesnt exist?

The fact that the email address doesn't exist anymore doesn't matter. As far as the Apple ID is concerned, the email address is just a user name. As long as you know the password you used, it should be fine.
If you don't remember the password, start here:

HT1349 I had an old itunes account with a lot of music on it! I lost my ipod but plan on buying a new one but my library of music is gone what do i do

help me find my old library please

Please check out the following Apple Support article on details on how you can redownload past purchases from the iTunes Store.

TS1363 My Apple ID seems to be engrained into their memory. It is changed on my profile, on the Itunes website, but whenever I go to purchase via my Iphone, it reverts back to my old Itunes account - for which I no longer have a password. HELP!

Okay, basically I had a Iphone 4S, but the glass cracked when I dropped it. I went to the Apple store, we changed my Apple ID, I can login, I can do almost everything on the Itunes website, but not from my phone. My Iphone, even though new, seems to think my old Apple ID is still current?
There is nothing on the website to even remotely indicate this old email address is even active - it is not part of my profile, yet my Iphone keep using this emails address???

Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores > Touch AppleID, sign out, and sign in with your AppleID.

I need to reset the security questions for my account but it's sending an email to an email that no longer works. is there a way to change this email?

the email it's sending it to is different than my sign in as well.
