Someone created a new itunes account using my mac Email!

Someone using the name "Maryellen McHenry" got into my email account somehow, and used it to create an itunes account! Is there any way I can shut this account down, and/or deauthorize any purchases "Maryellen" made with this account?

HT202667 I would like to open a new itunes account with an existing email

I would like to open a new iTunes account using an existing email address. How can I do that?

Hi,
Thanks for providing more information on what you're trying to accomplish. If you want to create an Apple ID, the email cannot be associated with a pre-existing Apple ID account. Why are you trying to create another Apple ID? If you just want to change your Apple ID, you can simply change the primary email account.

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

You can long into an account via this page and update the email addresses that you have on it : http://appleid.apple.com

I want to create a new itunes account but keep the content. Is this possible?

My family has always used one Itunes account for all devices. Now it is necessary for us to create a new itunes account. We want to keep the apps, music etc that we each have now. How can I do this? Is this even possible?

I hope this isn't too wordy but I want to be as clear and explicit as I can for you.
You can't transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple doesn't allow it.
You can continue to use your daughter's Apple ID in order to continue to use the apps that you purchased with her ID and you will need to use her ID and password any time that you want to update those apps. What you do want to avoid is having to download any of those purchased apps again on any other devices - if you create a new Apple ID.
If you create a new ID and then you sign into her ID in order to download a previous purchase- you will lock yourself out of the new ID for 90 days and there is nothing that you can do about it. So as long as you do NOT download any past purchases with her ID - you will not lock yourself out of the new ID. So you can keep using the apps that were bought with her ID, you can also update those apps using her ID (you have to sign into her account in Settings>Store) but you can't download past purchases without messing things up with your new ID.
When you download a past purchase with a different ID - you associate that device with the different ID for 90 days. This is one way that Apple hopes to cut down on pirating of apps - friends using other friends IDs in order to download apps without patting for them.
This explains it in a little more detail.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
The bottom line is that you can create a new ID, still use her ID - judiciously - but you really want to avoid downloading past purchases with her ID. Transfer all of those purchases into iTunes so that if something happens and you need the purchased content again, you can just sync it again rather than downloading it.
This explains transferring purchases.

Will all my apps delete if i create a new itunes account on my iphone 4???

If i create a new itunes account not on the computer but directly on my iphone- that is log out my itunes account on my iphone and create new one and use that new account to download an app will the rest of my apps delete before i even sync it to my computer? If later i sync it to my computer then will it delete.
Also it would be helpful if you could name some things to avoid all my apps being deleted.

I have three different accounts and at some time or another have bought apps with them all. If there is an update the Iphone automatically asks me to login with the appropriate credentials to update. They all live happily on Itunes and I can log in and out on Itunes as well with no ill effects.

I am trying to create a new itunes account and on the terms and conditions page the Agree button is permanently grey even when i have ticked the check box any ideas

On my Macbook Pro running Lion - trying to create a new ITunes account and the Agree button on the Terms and condition page will not come active even after checking the box any ideas

There isn't a way - at least not that I have found. I'm having an issue with this as well - seems like a shoddy sort of business practice. I refuse to enter my credit card number to download a FREE app. I'm encouraging the user community that has a problem with this to please post your opinion as well. I know this is a use community, but I have to think that Apple will take notice when an issue gets a lot of attention. Apple needs to hear your voice.

I had my Itunes account disabled due to fraud, if i create a new itunes account how can i switch purchases and apps to the new ID?

Hi ...
Just be cause the account was disabled (Apple ID) doesn't mean you can't reset the password and have access to your iTunes purchases.
Use the iforgot link to reset your password > Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
If you have problems resetting, use the email form here > Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

My computer crashed and the hard drive is no longer. I have purchased a new laptop but now have no access to my old itunes library. My laptop has created a new itunes account with NOTHING in it?? My Itouch has everything loaded but it wont sync with this itunes account....HELP

- Transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked. What am I doing wrong?

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked, so that when I delete a song from one library it deletes from the other one.
On the online tutorials I've seen it shows that when you create a new iTunes library it should open as a blank account, but that isn't happening.
What am I doing wrong?

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
If necessary:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

How do I create a new iTunes account while keeping my old account?

I have an iTunes account with an Email address that I can no longer access. I have forgotten my password. Apple will not allow me to change my Email address so I cannot change my existing account at this time. I have purchased a lot of music and I do not want to delete the music. I hope that someday in the far far future, Apple's policy will change and I can reclaim the music that I purchased.
Anyway, I want to create a new iTunes account without deleting my old account. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Howdy! I have tried to change my Email address with Apple. Since I cannot access my old Email address, they will not let me change my password. Since I cannot recall my old password, they will not allow me to change my Email address. I am in a true Catch 22.

I just forget the birthday what I create a new iTunes account. How I get it back? Thank you

I forget the birthday what I have typed when create a new iTunes account. Now I just want to know where I can find it

If you can't remember your birthday then log into the account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, select the Password And Security section and answer the two security questions that show - you should then get a screen where you can see and/or change when you were born

HT1918 why do i have to create a new itunes account because I moved to Canada from the U.S.?

why do i have to create a new itunes account because I moved to Canada from the U.S.?( My current account won't let me change my address to canada so my billing address for account is incorrect, making it impossible for me to buy anything). Will it affect what I am able to put on my device i.e. already downloaded apps, music, etc?
