Family shares an itunes account and ALL songs loaded on my phone with ios 7. how do I get only my songs?
My family shares an itunes account and ALL their songs loaded on my phone with ios 7 upgrade. Previously, while I could SEE songs "Not on this iPhone" they did not reside on my phone. How do I get only my songs? Do I have to sync with my computer? Help...
This is sad, as I am replying to myself. Upon further review I see that while all songs are LISTED, that are not actually there. By going to Settings - iTunes & App Store - "Show All" I was able to "turn off" SEEING purchases not made on my phone. Solved my own problem, but the way it looks in IOS 7 is confusing.

Me and my dad share an iTunes account and all of his music he has purchased on ITunes shows up on my songs list with a cloud icon next to it. How do I get rid of these from my songs list? Cuz it's doing the same thing on my iPhone.
Go to Edit > Preferences > Store, and uncheck the box for "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases."

I havent received any code after paying for it! Money's been withdrawn from my bank account and all I have now is a transaction code. How can I get the code for Photoshop?
You'll need to call Adobe customer support on the telephone. There's little we fellow users can do to help you.

I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad. All the music is under my itunes account yet she has her own itunes account so she can have her own apps and purchase apps with gift cards (She's only 9)
I subscibe to music match under my account but it wont let me put my music on her ipad under hers or even my itunes account. I get some sort of 90 day error message. How do i get around this so I can let her have my music on her ipad?iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

I am replacinbg a Windows XP machine with Windows 7. I have all music backed up, but I'm not sure how to restore it to the new machine. There is both my account and my husbands. And we are not using the cloud - the music was physically on the old machine. How do I do this?
It's a bit difficult for me to give advice on your specific issues, doing it "remotely."
If you still have your Mozy backup or your old computer, with its iTunes folder "as is" (the way you want it copied to the new computer), you may want to start over on the new computer.
The External drive method from the previously linked article provides the basic steps, except that you don't need to use an external drive as part of the process. You can use something else as the "transfer vehicle" in place of an external drive. For example, if you are able to setup File Sharing between the two computer, the network connection is the transfer vehicle. If you use your Mozy backup, your online storage is your transfer vehicle.
So these are the restated steps, for your situation as I understand it.
Part 1: Locating and consolidating the iTunes Media folder - If all of your iTunes files (songs, podcasts, videos, etc.) were already in your iTunes Media folder (on the old computer), which is the default setting for iTunes, you don't need to do this step.
Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer - If your Mozy backup has a copy of the iTunes folder from the old computer, you have already done this step.
Part 3: Get iTunes ready on your new computer - If iTunes is already install on your new computer, you have already done this step.
Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer - If you do not have any new songs or other media to the new computer's iTunes library that were not already on your old computer, you do not need to do this step.
Part 5: Copy music to your new computer - So, this is really your only critical part. iTunes should NOT be running.
1. Locate the folder \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\ on your new computer.
2. Drag that iTunes folder to the Desktop. This just gets the existing "empty" iTunes folder out of the way.
3 & 4. In your Mozy backup folder, locate the equivalent iTunes folder from the old computer. NOTE: You want to locate the entire iTunes folder, not the iTunes Media folder inside the iTunes folder.
5. Drag the iTunes folder from the Mozy backup folder to your My Music folder, to take the place of the iTunes folder that was located there before (that you dragged to the Desktop).
6. Run iTunes. It should use the iTunes folder you just copied to your My Music folder, and everything from your older computer should be there and accessible.
Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library - Same as Part 4. If there were no new songs (or other iTunes media) on the new computer, you do not need to do this step. You can also delete the iTunes folder you dragged to the Desktop in Part 5, Step 2.
As you can see, most of the work is in Part 5. And to summarize the procedure in ONE sentence, you are basically replacing the "iTunes" folder on the new computer with the same folder from the old computer. -
i have an ipod nano and i am giving a friend an ipod shuffle as a gift. i want to put selective tunes on the ipod shuffle from the 2000 songs i have on my ipod nano list. how do i accomplish that?
Syncing is from iTunes library to iPod. You cannot directly transfer songs from one iPod to another iPod.
Also, since your friend does not own those song, you are describing a form of music piracy. That topic is not appropriate for a discussion forum that Apple operates and maintains. -
i just got the iphone 4 and my husband already had on. we share an itunes account and i signed up for i cloud and now ALL of my husbands contacts are on my phone ... so I started to delete them (because i thought it would just be off my phone) and he called screaming ..." please stop deleting ... they are coming off my phone!" so two things ... how can i get the contacts back ( i got up to j) AND is there a way to get them off just my phone
Unfortunately there's no way to get back the contacts you deleted unless he backed them up somewhere else. He'll just have to recreate them. This happened because you are both syncing contacts with a shared iCloud account. When you do this, the synced data is merged and any actions you take on one phone (such as deleting contacts) is also reflected on the other. To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). To do this, on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The other phone will not be effected by this.) Next, set up a new iCloud account on your phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload your data to your new account. At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting the your husband's contacts from your account, and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each phone. When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them. -
My daughter locked herself out of her phone cannot remember the advanced password setting, we share an Itunes account and both recently joined the cloud, if she resets her phone all her information will be gone, will it affect the data on my phone as well
No, when resetting an iPhone it resets the actual data contained within the phone, nothing on your iCloud will be affected. It is a good idea to use seperate iClouda and iTunes accounts then you can each create your own backups regularly without your daughters backup overwriting yours or vice versa.

Can I have 4 idevices in my family share an iTunes account but have separate apple IDs for iCloud and FaceTime ?
Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son. -
I have an itunes account to update the office ipad. Now we have more of them can my colleagues access my itunes account including the apps to update their ipads with? it seems silly for everyone to have a seperate account and purchase apps that i have already bought. We just want to share and update one account that everyone can use and access from their own pc.
Unless I am missing the point here - or in the event that there are different terms and conditions for the use of iPad in the Enterprise with regard to iTunes purchases - once you have purchased an app - you are free to download that app again - at no charge - to as many iDevices as you desire - as long as you are using the same Apple ID and iTunes account that you used to make the original purchase.
So the short answer to the question - IMHO - is Yes! My wife, my daughter and I share one iTunes account and we download apps onto four different iDevices - and only pay for the apps once. The purchases are tied to the Apple/iTunes account and not to the PC or the iDevice.
The only caveat to this point is - I have no idea how Apple handles purchase for businesses meaning that I don't know if businesses are subject to the same terms and conditions as we "everyday" users.
Maybe the company could set up one iTunes account and you could all share from there but I still don't see why this can't be done. However, that is why I suggest that this question might be better served being posted in the iPad in the Enterprise section of the ASC. -
My family shared an Itunes account and now i'm moving out and have created a new account solely for myself. Is there a way to transfer my previous purchases on the family account to my new account?
In order to continue to play and sync the music you purchased with your old account, you'll need to authorize your new computer/iTunes library to do so. You can do this by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer and then entering in your old account credentials.
That's all you should need to. Then just create your own account and start purchasing and using it the same you have with the old one.

I am setting up my daughter's 4th generation iTouch to replace her old one. Our family shares an iTunes account because my daughters are young. Does she have to have her own iTunes account in order to use FaceTime? Please advise best route at set up.
She would need her own Apple ID, though not an iTunes Store account per se. This article will probably be of help:

My husband and daughter now share an itunes account and would like to each have their own instead. Is it possible to make a new itunes account for one of them?
Yes.
iTunes content that was downloaded with more than one iTunes account can be transferred to an iPhone.
All 3rd party apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection, which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. Whoever the new iTunes account is created for, in order to install app updates that were downloaded with the shared iTunes account will require using the shared iTunes account and password. -
My brother and I share an iTunes account and his text messages show up on MY macbook. His texts don't show up on my phone though. how can i delete his number off my iMessage on my laptop?
These are iMessages only.
He activated iMessage on his iPhone with the same Apple ID that you activated iMessage with on your Mac.
On your Mac, go to Messages preferences.
Under the Settings selection for your Apple ID, deselect your brother's phone number for you can be reached for messages at. -
