Using my iTunes account on a different computer ?

If I log into my Itunes account on my moms computer to use her CD/DVD drive, download the music to my iPod, will it show up in my iTunes account? I really don't want to have to purchase the external drive.

I really do not understand you question. You can import music from other than your syncing library/computer by manual managing music. Yo can get that music into the library by importing from a CD.  It with then be on your iPod.
Unless you purchased the music from iTunes it is not in your account.

  • Hi my partner used my email address and iTunes account to set up his iPhone and now both our phones have merged! Does anyone know how to separate these? Can he still use our iTunes account with a different Id or email! Please help!!

    HI my partner used my apple id and email address when setting up his iPhone so when he turned on iCloud our phones merged!! How do we undo this? Can he still use my iTunes account with a different Id and can he change the email on his phone without losing information? Also iPad is linked too, the family uses this and I would like to keep my phone separate! At the moment nothing is sacred! Please help! We are not very good with computers!!

    Several things here so let me attempt to clarify.
    For iCloud the reason the contacts where removed from he other device is because you updated your contacts, in this case deleted them, and then iCloud updated the other device to match. By deleting the iCloud account on the device it will stop the device from using that iCloud account and therefore nothing will change on the other device. By using a seperate Apple ID you can still use the features of iCloud, Find My iPhone comes to mind, without your content (contacts, message etc.) merging with the other device
    For iTunes, you cannot use two Apple IDs for one account however if you use the same account iTunes on your computer will keep the content on each device seperate very nicely. You can also configure the settings for iTunes and the App store on each device to keep the content from automatically downloading to the other device. What I meant by share apps and music is this. What happens if you find a game, lets say Minecraft, that you really like and it cost, as Mincraft cost, $6.99USD. You buy it and play for a while and then you realize that your husband really likes the game as well. If you both use the same Apple ID for iTunes he can download the $7.00ish game to his device at no additional charge. If you use seperate Apple IDs for iTunes well... it look like he will also be paying for the game to have it on his account. Same goes for Music and Movies
    I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have anymore question.

  • I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everythi

    I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do

    "I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
    Correct.  it does not magially appear in other places.  It will only be where you put it.
    "I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. "
    Correct as well.  Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

  • HT1203 How can I access my itunes account from a different computer as I need to cancel a subscription and I am on holiday at the moment

    Hello
    I need to access my itunes account from a different computer as I need to cancel a subscription and I am on holiday at the moment.
    Am I already now logged in to Apple ??
    Thanks

    If the Computor you are on has iTunes library go to tunes as if u were going to buy a song or film and you can log into your account. At the bottom of the iTunes home page you should see the user that is logged on usually a email address. Click on it to log them out and enter your own apple I'd and password. You can then update whatever you want and log back out after

  • Using your itunes account from a a computer besides your home's?

    We have dial up here(cursed since we're outside broadband availability) and downloading anything sizeable just isn't an option because of speed and the fact that it shuts down automatically after 4 hours. If I go to my cousin's can I use his as long as I use my itunes account?

    Happy to hear because I was really concerned about updates and whether or not I'd be stuck with old software

  • Can I change my email address and open a new itunes account on a different computer?

    Is it possible to open a new iTunes account with my new email address then use a different computer to sync my iPhone 4?

    Sure, but ALL of the iTunes content currently on your phone will first be erased if you do...that's all as in all.

  • TS1368 I am trying to update my new iphone, and need to access my itunes account from a different computer.  How do I do this?

    I have a new Iphone 5 that I am trying to sync with my existing itunes account.  I need to get this to sync to a different computer, than what I originally set it up on.  Every time I plug it in, it takes me to my daughters itunes account, and wants to sync up with her music.  How do I change the itunes account?

    Hey Mike, just sign in the iTunes Store and authorize your account on this machine (don't worry, you'll be asked for it), then you will ready to use it.

  • How do I access and use my iTunes library on a different computer?

    How do I access and use my i Tunes library on a different computer?

    The iTunes library is only where the user puts it.  If desired to have on an additional computer, put it there by copying the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the existing computer to the new computer.

  • HT1203 how do I share some music on same itunes account without changing music using same itunes account, but two different ipod touches

    I need to know how to stop losing / adding music I like/ dont like to my and my brothers ipod.  I gave him my older ipod(2nd Gen) with music on it already. I bought a ipod (3rd Gen) also. Both devices are registered to me; but I gave my brother the older one.  Now when either of us add / delete music it affects both ipods when either one on us sync.  We use the same computor(windiws7), he uses his own account on the computor, butit accesses the same itune/ library.  How can we split the itunes music between the two ipods?

    Hi gail,
    Thanks for the quick reply! The music part makes sense, good to know I don't have to duplicate the lot. The big question stillr emains as to whether iTunes can cope with two different iPhones, running different versions of the iOS, and therefore different app versions.
    Currently all the apps in iTunes are years old, and many haven't updated in months (years?) because the 3G is running iOS 4.2.1 (and can't be upgraded). Many of these have since been updated in the iTunes store (for the various incarnations of iPhone since) and the old versions that my 3G requires have been replaced.
    I'm worried that syncing the 4S running iOS 5, and running the most recent updates for same apps, will cause iTunes to overwrite the old 3G compatible ones when I sync. Unless iTunes is smart enough to know which version of the app is for which OS, without updating the legacy version when I update the apps on the 4S?
    You guys shouldn't face that problem, as iPad and iPhone apps don't replace each other (I believe? Not sure about this) as new updates are released for each app, you'd have a copy for each device (for example Evernote for iPad, and Evernote for iPhone). I can't figure out if iTunes can handle keeping separate iPhone versions for Evernote iOS 4.2.1 and Evernote for iOS 5. My gut feeling is no, but I want to amke sure before I lose the legacy versions of each app.
    Of course, maybe I'm just paranoid and iTunes is in fact perfectly capable of keeping old and new apps in the same library?
    Cheers

  • How do i put my itunes account on a different computer

    how do i transfer my itunes account onto a new computer

    I imagine you mean that you want to transfer your purchases from one computer to another computer. You can do this in several ways. See the following article for how to transfer iTunes Store purchases using Home Sharing, an external drive, an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod), the Windows Migration Assistant, and CDs/DVDs:

  • HT1473 I am trying to connect to Itunes & add content to my library but I can not locate my Itunes account from a different computer which I have changed computers & Iphones.

    I had an Itunes account on another computer & another Iphone, I have tried to access my previous account to add some new tones from my new Iphone & can not locate or access my previous account or previous library. Can someone help?

    I cannot find "Other" devices. I found Apple Mobile Device under Universal Bus Controllers but cannot see "recovery mode" or any other status. I use Windows Vista.
    When I try to restart Apple Mobile Device Service I get the following message: "The Apple Mobile Device Service on Local Computer started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs". What does this mean?
    During the last 48 hours I was able to see my iPad in iTunes only one time during many attemnpts to connect . I haven't been able to see it during the llast several attempts.
    Any suggestions? The standard suggestions have not worked: i.e. stop then start AMDS; tuurn off iPad and PC, then restart both and reconfrom iPad to PC; reload iTunes.

  • How can I get on to my iTunes account on a different computer?

    I am using my mum's laptop (mine is broken) to download a new CD but her iTunes account is on there. When I logged her out and logged myself in through the store her music still shows up and I can't access my own account still.

    How about if you have a problem getting your iTunes on your new laptop because this is causing me a big problem.  I have a new Windows 7 laptop & I spent half of yesterday using "homesharing" trying to transfer my library from my Windows XP desktop onto the new laptop.  I got about half of the songs & the other half just won't transfer.  I also can't get my playlists on it & only about three videos.  I have no idea why it's not working.  Any ideas?

  • I have an Itunes account on a different computer, how do I create or access this account to recognise my nano and iphone on a new laptop?

    I have recently bought a laptop and would like to add music to my ipod nano and i phone 4 from this laptop instead of using the old computer.  Was wondering how I can create a new account or delete an old account on the other computer or update my exsisting account on to my laptop.
    any help would be great.

    Yes. You can set up your phone to use your original account, no need to create a new one.

  • All of the music I imported to my iTunes account on a different computer is gone. It is on my iPad, is there any way to put it back on my computer?

    I recently got my computer back from Geek Squad and about three fourths of my iTunes library is gone. All of the music I imported directly to this computer, and all of the music I purchased is here, but most of my library is originally from a family computer. I transferred it to this computer, but since i got it back, iTunes says it can't locate it. We don't have the family computer anymore either.
    I do have all the music on my iPad though. Is there any way to transfer it back to my computer?

    This makes no sense. It doens't matter where they originated from.
    If they were in iTunes on this computer and this backup is of this computer, they are from this computer.
    Look in /My Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Music/ folder and see what is there?

    Same way you logged into it from your computer.
    Open itunes, sign into your account.
