My wife and my iphones are both on the same apple id. If I create a new apple id for her, can we still share our music?

Yes. If you are using two different instances of iTunes on your computers, make sure the music is on both copies of iTunes.
The person with the new Apple ID will not "own" the music, as it is owned by the one with the former ID. But the way to deal with this is for the new ID person to do Store > Authorize This Computer from iTunes' menu, then have the person with the ID that purchased the music enter his/her Apple ID and password.

Creating a new apple id for my wife

I currently have one Apple ID and run iTunes on a Windows 7 PC. This is synced to 2 iPhones, 2 iPads and 2 iPods as well as 2 Apple TV's. All the Apps purchased, updated and shared between all the devices are controlled using iTunes depending on whose iphone etc is connected.
This has worked quite successfully till now but if we use imessage on the phones it gets very confusing and for that reason I would like to set up a new Apple ID for my wifes iPhone and iPad. What I don't understand is the implications of this with regard to all the previously purchased Apps. Will she loose access to these when I sign in on iTunes to her new Apple ID. Are there any other issues I should be aware off before going down this route. Will all my music and films still be available for her to load on her iPhone and iPad ? Any advice and help much appreciated.

Hello Primer Driver,
Thanks for the question, and what a great question it is.
You are absolutely right, there are some tweaks we will want to make to continue the configuration you have right now. My recommendation? Create a new Apple ID for your Wife, but only use this Apple ID for iMessage/FaceTime.
There are four different accounts you can be signed into on an iOS device: iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and iTunes and App Stores. Theoretically, you could be signed into four separate accounts for each of these. For your situation, your Wife would only sign into iMessage and FaceTime with her account, and continue to use the family account for iTunes and App Stores.

As I mentioned earlier, the main time when this becomes an issue is if you need to do something involving associating a computer with a particular AppleID. Careful management of your collection should minimize this situation.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - In connection with, "When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID." "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days." - Additionally instructions for "Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID"
So the first account is really "yours" and you are setting her up with her own account? It helps to know this because if both are "hers" then there isn't an issue with her having full access to both accounts. If in 10 years she moves 2000 miles away and she is pretty much independent then you may not want her to have full access to your AppleID just so she can authorize a device.

HT201088 I am considering starting Family Sharing. Should I set up a new Apple ID for the Family Sharing or should I use my personal Apple ID?

On your Mac, try to access your gmail account. There should be a link you click for "Forgot My Password". Click it and try to retrieve your password.

When you get the email iTunes receipt for your purchase you should find a "report a problem " along side the description of your purchase follow that link

How do I set up a new apple ID without losing data off one phone?

I have two iPhones (5) with one Apple ID. My husband updated his phone to iOS8 last week and I did mine today but it looks like we have to set up separate Apple ID's in order for the phones to work properly.
General > Privacy > Location Services (off for now) > Share My Location <-- it's in here that it keeps showing his phone and not mine. I keep setting to my phone but it keeps reverting.
I also have an issue compounded to this - My Apple ID for some odd reason is set up to use HIS phone number and not mine. I can't seem to change that anywhere in the settings on the Apple site. Help here would be greatly appreciated.
The My Support Profile page will not let me update any of my device info. Hitting the save button just shows the 'working' circle graphic and it never actually stops and saves.
So, it seems that I need to create a new Apple ID for the other phone line and I am unsure how to do it.
Where on the phone I need to change do I log out of the one ID in use?
Should we start on Apple.com and create it all there first? Then log into the phone? I am going to assume yes.
Same for iTunes - get Apple ID and then log into iTunes. That one is a 'no brainer'.
So, once the new ID is taken care of and set up, how does he not lose any of his current apps and music? Will it all be there or will he have to set up his phone all over again as if from new? What about all the purchased apps in iTunes he's bought with my ID?
Right now we feel kind of 'stuck' and afraid to use the phones until I know what to do to solve these conflicts.

Thank you Lawrence, I know how it all works.
I'm pretty sure if I need to use Find My Phone I can log in from any device into that stupid cloud as long as I have activated it on the phone first. Sometimes I do use that method when traveling but not for daily use.
We can share our iTunes products easily between the phones on both the computers.
I don't trust the cloud. You may feel free to do so but I won't and I won't buy a basic phone because of my mistrust. Although the stupid cloud claims your data is secure or encrypted etc, it's a database. Period. One giant database and SOMEONE has to have access to the information UNENCRYPTED to manage, restore etc. There ARE master users or whatever you want to call them and I'm sorry, I just don't trust. I also have a stalker and because of that I am extra cautious. Don't worry, he's already facing two felony charges and trying to worm out of a jail sentence.
My cell phone and internet provider promised me security and my email addresses have been sold to the highest paying spammer and I get HUNDREDS of spam emails daily. For the first two years I was spam free. Didn't even see that crap in my junk folder but the last 5 years it's increasing daily. Now how does that happen? Unscrupulous employees is my guess. Especially since I do not use my regular email address for things I know will generate spam. I'm very cautious of my privacy online. Very.
Thank you for believing iCloud is safe but you did hear about all those celebrities whose photos were hacked and stolen from iCloud, didn't you? THIS is (one of many reasons) why the cloud can't be trusted.

HT4208 I set up a new apple ID and every time I use the App Store it wants me to enter the old emails password which I do not know. Any thing I should to help

What do I do when the App Store wants me to
Use my old email and I don't remember the password even though I set up a new apple ID account

Content acquired from iTunes is permanently tied to the Apple ID that it was acquired with.
If that is not your Apple ID, delete the content in question.
If it is your Apple ID, reset the password and stop using the new Apple ID.

How do I set up a second apple ID for iPad. Also, how do I disable it after I'm done borrowing it. I don't want my credit card tied to it.

How doi set up a second apple iD for iPad. Also, how do I remove so no one else can use. This is a public iPad in company.

You really don't want to do that, operate an iPad with 2 different ID's.
I'm presuming you have a work iPad and you want to put some non work bought apps on it. You will have issues, like half the iPad not working while the other half does.
Probably not something you want to explain to your IT department.
