Question:

In a pickle with my iTunes account?

Okay, so for the past five years, I've been using my dad's account to buy iTunes. It sounds great in theory but now I'm in college and I live in a different city and I wanted to have my own account instead of using my dad's account for the rest of my life. Only it turns out that even if you've spent almost $1,000 in the iTunes store over the course of your life, Apple couldn't care less and they want you to buy all of those songs all over again.

People have suggested authorizing my dad's account on my computer and that does solve the initial problem but at the same time, it makes having my own account kind of moot. I've tried downloading the songs to a disc and reimporting them with no luck, it still wants authorization. But the point is, I want my own account where the songs only need my authorization, not my dad's authorization which was the whole point in the first place. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? Or will I have to keep using my dad's account until I'm old? Come on, there must be some way to beat the system and burn the songs or something so they do not appear to have been purchased or anything. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

  1. Guess you are right. With collective intelligence from the Internet, there must be some solutions out there. Do check out this site for an alternative solution to convert the songs to mp3. http://www.doubletwist.com/dt/Home/FAQ.d... I am aware that there are also commercial programs that can manage DRM that you own.  


  2. I hate itunes... & I haven't been using it long! They have alot of errors they need to fix.

    I do not know for sure but try this link... http://www.ipod2computer.com/index.php?S...

    You may be able to sign up for you own itunes account on your own computer and then plug in your ipod and get all of your music onto your new account,

    Im not positive it will work, I have never even used that site (someone refferred it to me) but its worth a shot.
