Hoping someone here can help & I can write this in a way that makes sense
Years ago I set up my Itunes account on my mum & dads PC. I had and ipod & iphone I used on this PC computer and this Itunes account. Mum & dad also got Ipods and along the way have created a big library on my account.
Now i'm not a struggling student and moved out of home I have just purchased a Macbook pro and I dont want to be running to mum & dads everytime I want to sycn my phone or ipod with my account on their computer.
Ive read through on here how to bak up the library and move it on to my macbook pro BUT I don't want to share this account with my parents (different music tastes, but more so purchasing etc & credit balances)
Can they either set up a new account and transfer music over, as they only have ipods to play with. Or can I leave my account on their PC and make a new one without losing everything, transfer off one Itunes account on to a new computer and a new Itunes account?
What should I do?
& what implications does this have for my Iphone if i want to hook it up to a new Itunes account, new computer and want to sync it, can I do that?
or is it linked to my other itunes account only? Im concerned about my Iphone & sync it as it is my fav toy at the moment and I dont want to mess with it :)
I can not logistically go on running to Mum & dads every time I want to sync my phone or add new music & mum & dad dont want to lose their music either which is in my account.
Whatever way I need to get Itunes on My Macbook Pro at my house...
Am a little frustrated with myself trying to figure a way around this, any advice would be greatly appreciated
