Transfering music from different itunes accounts with different ids...

I am trying to transfer music from one itunes account, set up on old computer to a new itunes account set up on new computer. The problem is it is two different ids.  How can I transfer all of my older music to this new account?

You cannot transfer music from one acount to another.
However you can authorise the 2nd computer to play the other id music
Ctrl B to show top menu
Store > Authorise this computer...
Then you can copy the music over to your itunes and it will play on your machine

  • Transferring music from another itunes account to my new ipod classic

    Hi, first time posting. I have recently got an iPod classic for xmas and have transferred all my music off my laptop onto the device. However I am having issues trying to put another 5000 tracks off another laptop owned by someone else in my household onto it. They have their own itunes account and an ipod touch, initially we hoped I could use the ipod touch to transfer the music files to my itunes and then onto my ipod, however it is apparently clear that without paying for a programme this is not possible. So is there any way to transfer all the tracks by attaching my ipod to their laptop and downloading directly from their itunes.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    PS. I believe I can use a USB stick to transfer from one laptop to another, or simply use his entire cd collection and install one at a time however both these methods for the size of the collection would take a long time which is not ideal as rarely in at the same time.

    No matter how you ask the question, or how many times, the answer will always be no. Itunes content is DRM protected & tied forever to the account that was used to originally purchase it.

  • HT1688 does anyone know how to transfer the existing music from my itunes account that i had with an ipod to my iphone?  I had my last download on my laptop which crashed and now we have a new computer.  I had to download a new version of itunes.

    I had my itunes account on my laptop which has since crashed.   I had to buy a new computer and iinstall the new version of itunes.  It did not pull up any of my information with music library, etc.  Does anyone know how to transfer existing music from my itunes account for my ipod to my iphone?
    thanks

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    Iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time.  If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

  • HT2688 how to transfer music from my itunes account to my husbands new iphone

    I have an existing itunes account which my husband had purchased music on and now he has a new iphone and, of course, his own itunes account.  I have synced but have only managed to download all his apps to my computer...but he still has no music.  I have turned on the home share but still hasn't worked.  when I've looked online for assistance it says to "turn on the settings for iphone>settings>ipod... well has has no ipod (other than nike + ipod), so I went to settings>music>and signed in to home sharing with his own account ID and PW.... any body have a solution?

    I'm confused.
    You don't transfer music from an iTunes account. You transfer it from an iTunes library. Plug in the phone and sync it.

    Okay.
    I have synced but have only managed to download all his apps to my computer...but he still has no music.
    You have sync'd your iPhone or his iPhone?
    I have turned on the home share but still hasn't worked
    Are you trying to Home Share between different computers?
    Or between iTunes libraries on the same computer?
    Are you using the same computer? Different computers?
    Are you using the same computer login or do you each have your own?
    If he purchased music previously on your account, is this music in your iTunes library? His iTunes library? Is there only one iTunes library?

    How do I delete music from my iTunes account?

    Hello tadjellis,
    It sounds like you have purchases in your iTunes library you no longer want or want to see. You can hide the purchases with your iTunes account settings, and this article will help you:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4919
    Use iTunes on a Mac or PC to hide or unhide your purchases.
    To hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
    Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
    You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.
    Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."

  • How do i delete music from my itunes account and my ipod nano 3rd gen

    how do i delete music from my itunes account and my ipod nano 3rd gen

    Are you wanting to delete it all or just certain tracks and content?
    If it's the latter...
    How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to receive content from your iTunes library whether that be via automatic syncing or manual management.
    For automatic syncing, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album/tracks/content you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod.  For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod.  Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
    If that isn't the case, you'll want to look at the iPod's Music configuration tab.  You can access this tab by selecting your iPod under Devices. This should bring you to theSummary tab over to the right.  Look for the Music tab along the top and select it.  Here you can configure how and what music syncs to your device.  If you make any changes to this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the updated changes to your device.
    Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it.  You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will open up a submenu of content that is indented underneath the name of your device, so go ahead and click on Music (or whatever content you are wanting to remove).  Locate the track or tracks/content you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

  • HT4557 can I share music on my itunes account with my wife's iphone?

    Can I share music on my itunes account with my wife's iphone?

    I have a similar problem, and have followed your suggestions with great success.
    We both have seperate itunes accounts and both share the same login on our computer (although I could create a login for her if it would be better).
    As I said, setting up her phone worked great, I could add all of my music, and select the apps I already had to put on her phone, etc.  However, now I cannot log back into my account from itunes on our computer, I just get an error saying iTunes is not available at this time.
    My phone also started asking for her itunes details each time I went to the App store / itunes on my phone, but I've changed this back to me.
    So, my question is, how do I get back into itunes on my computer?  Should it be possible to keep swapping accounts?

  • Hi - I've brought the new iphone 5 but can't download my music from my itunes account even though I have the latest version (10.7). All i can see is that my account is not showing the iphone 5 as a 'managed device' and i dont know how to get this added ?

    Hi - I've brought my iphone 5 but cant seem to download my music from my itunes account onto it. I've downloaded the latest version of itunes as i heard this could be a problem but still no joy. The phone tries to sync when i plug it all in to the pc and even has the capacity bar showing about 12gb of audio but there is still nothing downloaded onto the phone.
    The only thing i can see that might be causing the problem is that when i go into my itunes account it doesn't show that the iphone 5 is an option is the 'managed device' section but i dont know how i can add the new iphone 5 to this....
    Can anyone please advise me on what to do ?
    Many thanks !

    how do i upload music from my itunes account to my iphone ?

    Hi viper1997,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    There are two ways to get music onto your iPhone.  If you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, you can setup manual syncing so that you transfer the playlists, artists or albums that you want on your iPhone.
    You can also download music you've already purchased from the iTunes store to your iPhone at any time.
    The following links will provide additional information to get you started.   You don't mention what computer you are using, so I'll assume a Mac for now, as the basics are the same.
    The iPhone User Guide is a good place to start:
