Access music from old iTunes account

You can make "iTunes Music" an alias to your music folder on your network drive. That should keep iTunes' smartness at bay.

It depends on where you got the music from.

• If you purchased it through iTunes on your iPad, then you can open iTunes on your phone, select the "More" tab, then tap "Purchased", then download the music onto your phone. "Purchased" is an iCloud feature. iCloud must be enabled, and configured correctly on all your iOS 5 or later devices. The navigation in getting to Purchase history has changed slightly, I believe, between iOS 5 and iOS 6, but the idea is the same.

• If you ripped CDs, then transferred the content over to your iPad, you will have to use the computer that you ripped them to to sync the songs onto the iPhone.

• If you downloaded them from somewhere such as Amazon on your computer before transferring them to your iPad, then you will need to connect your iPhone to your computer to sync those purchases.

One thing to note: you cannot transfer songs from your iPad to your computer with iTunes (unless it was purchased from iTunes, and the computer is authorized). So, in other words, if you no longer have the computer that had all your songs on it, and just your iPad does, you will want to look for third party software (maybe like this? I haven't used it, but just did a Google search) to transfer your media to your computer, then to your phone.
