no, you don't need an account.
An iTunes account will not cause you to get caught with illegally downloaded music.
Updating the iTunes software will not affect your existing iTunes account or music library.
That might have happened because apps or music on your iPod were downloaded with another iTunes account, try authorising with the iTunes account you used.
no but if you make an itunes acount than you will be able to locate your ipod/iphone/ipad/mac than if it gets on the internet in any way and/or get the police to arrest the theive if stolen.
if you bought your music off of iTunes, you can go in and just reauthorize the account and re-download everything. If it wasn't downloaded through the iTunes store, you're SOL.
Yes because they will ask you For Info SO you will HAve to make an account but after you made your account you dont need to have another account to buy music
Music files downloaded from the iTunes store come in the format "Purchased AAC", and video files downloaded from the iTunes store come in the MP4 format
Yes, it should be. As long as you don't sell the music after you copy it, the fact that she paid for them, you're ok
If you are downloading music fraudulently from the iTunes store then they may find you. If you have illegally downloaded music from elsewhere then iTunes will not know about it.
Honestly, I don't think that iTunes trades their music for the music you illegally downloaded.
This can occur for various reasons. If it won't let you do anything, connect it to iTunes and follow the instructions on-screen when it recognizes the iPod.
Yes. I have downloaded music from itunes to my nook.
