I downloaded music in the early 2000s on a desktop using another apple id and password

I downloaded music from Itunes over a decade ago, but I must have had another apple id back then. My purchases don't show up using my current ID in itunes.


Can I search for the old account somehow and transfer them to my Dell laptop

Windows, Windows 10

See if you can recover the ID/password. Use every email address you can think of.


Apple ID - How to find your Apple  -  An iCloud e-mail address is an Apple ID.

If you forgot the Apple ID (iCloud) password, enter the Apple (iCloud) ID, and click Forgot Password. See if you can get a Rescue or Notification email option if necessary. Link to contact Apple Support at the end of the 2nd article.

If you can find the ID, you can try setting up Family Sharing between the IDs if you want to be able to share purchases made with the IDs.
