Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?
You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

I have 2 iphones 4s's, ones my wife and one is mine. we have different apple IDs, can we share one itunes account?? if so, how??
If you haven't set up your own Apple ID already don't. I suggest you use the same apple ID as your wife's. The alternative is to do this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848. It's not efficient as you have to swap apple id's to update apps under both IDs. 20/20 being hindsight, I would have never created a 2nd apple ID for my wife.
Hope this helps. -
Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices
Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices?
The iTunes EULA, as I understand it (I'm not an attorney )for Apps is basically that one person can use an App multiple devices, or multiple people can use an App one device..so one to many or many to one, but not many to many....

Can I share one itunes account with two computers?
I have an itunes account set up with one email address. It was originally set up on a PC and my two daughters have Ipods that are synched to this computer. I finally got my own ipod (yea!) and want to use it with my macbook. I tried to download songs using the same email and my purchased songs were not able to be played on the macbook. Can I share this account or do I need to set up a separate Itunes account for the macbook?
eyeeyeinit,
You can authorize your iTunes account on up to 5 computers at a time.
However, purchased music is downloaded to the first machine to download it, but these articles have more information on moving your music between authorized computers:

This one is for moving all your music using an iPod as a storage drive

Sorry in advance if I sound alittle confused...
I have an itunes account and have purchased a number of apps that my husband would like to sync to his new 3G phone using his computer.
It would also be easier to have both our charges billed to the same credit card.
We also have very different tastes in music so I would prefer not to mix libraries.
How can we do this?
(He downloaded itunes to his computer but I stopped him before he registered his phone)
Thanks,
KathyUse the single iTunes account on both computers, and only download content on the computer you want that content to be on.

My husband and I share music in one itunes account for both of our iphones. We just got the new iphone 5s's and iin ttryinngto back up our old phones I have realized we SHARE one icloud as well. Can I create him a new icloud for pictures, contacts etc
You can have one icloud account and a different itunes account on the phone. I have my icloud account and a shared itunes account. He does not have to use the new icloud account as is ID in itunes and app store. He can keep using the old one.

How do I share one itunes account between two users on the same computer
How do I share one itunes account between two users on the same computer without taking up twice as much space on my hard drive?
You would need to move the itunes folder to a location that both users have permissions to access such as the Shared folder or any folder on the root level of the macintosh HD.
You can find instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203 This method allows you to share the content without sharing the same library. -
My wife and I own an iMac (April 2011) and just recently got iPhones. We share one iTunes account (mainly for our uploaded music from CD). Do we each need to have our own iTunes account? What about iCloud? We want to utilize the same Calendar/Contacts

Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?
No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library). -
If we share one iTunes account can we have multiple iCloud accounts?
My children and I share one iTunes account. Can each one of us have our own iCloud account. We upgreaded the IOS and my daughter ended up with my contacts and hers. She deleted mine and now they are all gone. I want to avoid this issue in the future.
First decide which device(s) will keep the existing account. On the others all you have to do is go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then set up a new account with a new ID and turn iCloud syncing for your data back to On. When prompted, choose merge. Deleting the accout will only remove it from the device, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will continue to use the existing account will not be effected by this.
However, if any of the devices is still syncing data with the account, before deleting the account you must go to Settings>iCloud and turn syncing to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the device (otherwise it will be deleted from the device when you delete the account), the set up the new account, turn syncing back to On, and when prompted, choose merge to upload the data to the new account.
After each device has it's own account, if you have any merged data in any of the accounts you will need to go to icloud.com, sign into them separately and manually delete the unwanted data. -
