Can i combine my husbands contacts and mine if we have two different itune accounts and emails and passwords?  Can both sets of contacts live on the cloud and be donwloaded to both our phones?

Hey NON-TECHNO-WIZARD
You can do one of two things. The first is to just export out the contacts and import them into each other’s account. If something is updated the other person will not be updated with the information. Now another options is using one Apple ID for iCloud Syncing and then you can still use individual Apple ID’s for store purchases. The article below will shed some light on how you can use the Apple ID.

    If it is in your itunes on your computer, then select it to sync just like everything else that you sync.

  • Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same mac?

    Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same account? I am having trouble accessing mine from my sons.

    Yes you can.
    The fact you cannot access your son's library from your User account is intentional. User accounts on your Mac are nearly as separate from each other as your Macs are from anyone else's on the planet. To copy music from his account to yours, first copy it to the Shared folder, then log into your account and import the music. Then, you can erase it from Shared.
    The Shared folder exists at /Users/Shared.

    I'm going to give my old iPad to my granddaughter, I want to create an account for her, but I want to do it on my computer so there are no worries about who is spending credits for that account. Don't know how this will work, or if its possible to two iTunes libraries.
    Okay.
    She's going to use your computer to sync with iTunes.
    Create an new computer login on your computer for her. This will keep her stuff separate and she won't be able to mess with any of your info.
    Log into her computer account.
    Launch iTunes.
    Create a new iTunes account for her. See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
    You can enter a credit card to create the account then delete the CC info. Or you can use an iTunes gift card and she can fund the account with gift cards instead of using a CC to make purchases. This is an easy way to control spending.
    on the iPad, go to Settings > iMessage > Off.
    Then Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content & settings.
    Once it finishes, plug in the iPad, select it in iTunes and this will set it up as a new device. Enter all your granddaughter's info.
    When she wants to sync her iPad or use iTunes, she needs to log into your computer with her account.
    Then the iTunes library she uses will be only hers.

  • I have 2 different iTunes accounts; how do I get them both to sync to my iPhone4? It only allows 1 account.

    I have two personal iTunes accounts and want to conjoin the into one so that I can sync my contents to my iPhone4. So far I can only figure out how to sync with the iTunes account that I have obligated to my iPhone. CAn I conjoin the two accounts so that ALL of my purchases can be put into my phone? If not, how can I get everything from both accounts onto my iPhone4?

    No method for that but you can keep changing the account from the iPhone and it won't delete the apps from the second account

  • 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?

  • Can I have two different itunes accounts on my computer?

    Can I have two different apple itunes accounts on my computer without them having anything to do with each other?

    If you've used iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownloaded an account's past purchases then you will have tied your computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - so you won't be able to do either of those 3 things on a different account until the 90 days have completed.
    If you can't wait for the 90 days to finish then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • My husband and I have two different itunes accounts but would like to share our music. how can i load his music to my iphone

    How can My husband and I share music we have purchased through the itunes store?  We each have an itunes account.  I have turned on home sharing but do not know how to save his music (which was originally my music) to my iphone.  Thanks!!

    iTunes: Understanding Home Sharing

  • Okay, so i have two different itunes accounts is there any way that i can merge them together so i can have all my music and stuff on one account? and i have already tried home sharing and it didn't work.

    I really need some help with this if anyone knows how please help me!

    No. All iTunes purchases remain permanently tied to the account used to purchase them. You can however authorize your computer for multiple accounts and any Apple devices can hold protected content from up to five different accounts at any one time.
    If you are trying to merge two separate iTunes libraries into one that is a different problem. Take the largest, add all the content from the smallest, then dedupe.

  • PC, iPad, iPods - can iCloud help when we have two different itunes accounts?

    We have one account associated with a PC/laptop and a few ipods then we have a iPad which has another iTunes account associted with it and a mpb that has no account association.  Can we integrate/merge our itunes accounts into one icloud account and share all the songs across all devices?

    No, but you can authorize each device to play music from the other account.

  • We have two different iTunes accounts the old one is an e mail we don't have anymore how do I get rid of the old one so it doesn't come up when I want to update or download an app I've had before? Just want to use the the new account and do away with old

    We have two iTunes accounts we don't want to use our old account cause the password doesn't work how do we just use our new account? The problem is when we update apps it will ask for our password to our old account and when we go to down load an app we have had before it wants to go thru our old account now do we only use new account?

    Welcome to the Apple community Todc.
    Besides signing out of the account, you will need to delete the apps on the device that were purchased under that ID.

  • I have two different iTunes accounts - home and work. Need to merge them.

    I have a work account and a home account and both have music in them. I am pretty sure they have the same login and password, but they still register as the different content. How do I get them to merge, as all the content is mine.

    How do I get them to merge, as all the content is mine.
    Locate all the content in the Windows Explorer, move it to the other computer as you would any files, and drag it into the open iTunes application window. Rented movies can't be moved this way.
    Each purchase from the iTunes Store other than applications only grants you one download to a computer. Even with applications, you need to redownload it again, which is a separate process from installing and setting up iTunes.

  • I have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

    i have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

    i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
    then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
    hence why i have 3 now
    hard to believe you cannot combine into one
    oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3
    thanks
