How do I create a 2nd iTunes account on the same computer?
I have an iPhone tied to one computer. I have a second iPhone that I need to use the same computer to be able to back it's data up. Do I need to create a 2nd iTunes account on the same computer? If so, how do i do this? Thanks.
No, creating a 2nd iTunes account is not necessary.

HT1386 How do I merge two separate itunes accounts on the same computer?
I set up a new account on my Mac computer. The original account (that still exists) has all of my itunes music in it (it is a shared computer, but I decided to set up my own account), but the new one doesn't. How do I transfer the music from my phone to the new itunes account or merge the two?
Basically the itunes library on the new account is empty, so I can't sync it with my phone or else it will delete all of the music on my phone.Creating a new user on your computer is the easiest way to keep the media separated.

Remember that you can only use media and apps with the account they were bought with.

Can you have two different itunes account on the same computer
how can you have 2 different itunes accounts on the same computer?
You would need two seperate users on the computer. Then each library would be independent of each other. Or do you mean two seperate iTunes store accounts?

How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?
How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?
In case you didn't fully understand what dallon meant, it means another user account on your computer. You set that up in Windows and then instal iTunes onto that account.
That way, you each have your own desktop and your own itunes. You can link to the songs in the other person's library as well, but you cannot run both iTunes at the same time. (That simply means you need to close it on the first account before opening it on the second account.) -
How does one set up two different iTunes accounts on the same computer so that they do not merge into one?

So, when the other iTunes account needs to be used, I should log out of Windows and have the other user log in under a different Windows account, correct?
M Parker,
Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do. -
Multiple iTunes Accounts on the Same Computer
iTunes states that you can have multiple iTunes accounts on the same computer. But when I attempt to put in a new user account (for my wife so she can have her own music library) my own iTunes account pops up when I go to load iTunes while in her user account. And if I create any account that is NOT an 'Admistrator' account iTunes refuses to install itself as the "user does not have the privileges - consult your Administrator". So I am lost as to what I need to do to create separate iTunes accounts where each person has their own iTunes library and thus their own music. Perplexed...

Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer and if so how do you access them without syncing each others music?
Yes. Use separate iTunes libraries(launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down as needed), or different user accounts on the computer.

Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer
Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer? My kids iPods are under my account now with all of our shared music but they want their own iTunes accounts. I would like to transfer the music and apps that they purchased under my account to their new accounts... Is this posible?

Did you enable the display of system files and hidden files and folders?
by the way, how can i stop this from happening another time.
Make a backup!
i had music there for over 6 years.
Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.

Yes, go to your Windows Control Panel and create another user,log into it, run iTunes and it's ready to rock and roll.
Transfer your content over via USB Key, Dropbox or external drive.
Heck the best thing would be to File > Backup library to disk with a bunch of DVD-R's, therefore you get a backup in the process!
