Hello all. I have an ipod and my ex boyfriend and I used to share an itunes account. Now my ex lives across the country and we don't talk anymore. I was told by the ipod people that I can not open a new itunes account and upload music without erasing everything that is already on my ipod!!! They say i will have to get the passcode for the itunes account from my ex and go from there. Now I can not get that from my ex, nor would I want to talk to him again. I don't even know if he would give it to me. Anyway, this seems bunk to me b/c how do they do this for people who get divorced, etc.?? Does anyone out there know how I can get around this problem? They are saying that if I start a new itunes account, as soon as I plug my ipod into the computer it will automatically wipe out everything that was already on there. Please help!! Any suggestions??
I did a search take a look at this answer, read what he has to say there is a program you can try, cost is 22 bucks and for that amount, inexpensive, and free to try it. may help you out

I have to disagree with Itune also, make copies of all your songs in itunes (cd's) if you have hundreds could be a few cd's, then delete your account, open a new one. and put the songs back into your new itunes account, if you already have songs on an ipod. and did not have an account with itunes.. they cannot just erase your songs on your ipod, never heard of that.if for some reason when you open the new account and your ipod gets erassed, you have the songs on the cd's you can load back in. this is what I would try.. see what happens either way you back them up. you are all set right.. good luck Rick
Hey Rick! Thank you so much. This sounds like a good idea and I was told something like this once before, but I'm nervous. I'm not very good with computers or ipods, especially computers. One more thing... WHAT ABOUT THE VIDEOS I HAVE ON MY IPOD? I know this may sound stupid, but I don't know how to back the videos and music up together??? can you help please?? And, you're sure that itunes will let you inport music and video like that? Any help you can give me would be great!! Thanks buddy!!!
Hey Rick!! Thanks for the advice. That is worth a try. I will let you know how it works out. You've been really great!
lookin4, how did it work? are you all set you know I am very concerned about you :) I may try it myself, also did you solve your issue yet? please let me know where you stand thanks Rick
Hey Rick! It was cool to hear from you! Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate your help, but I have to confess...I'm a bit scared to try this. I will, I promise, but I haven't exactly had the time yet either. I know that's ridiculous, but I have 2 jobs and work more than you can imagine. :) But hey, I will definately try it this weekend and let you know how it turns out. (I have to work both Sat. and Sun. but I'll try to do this Sun. night.) Sound good? Take care Rick!
If you are nervous about this then don't do it, I have not tried it myself, I can try to research some other options for you ok.. If you are in no hurry, ok,, it was just a suggestion, I understand your concern,,let me check some other ways out for you.. when I get time.. 2 jobs someone should be taking care of you awwww
you seam nice that is why I want to help you.. of course.. thanks for getting back to me oh do you have a real name?
