HT204053 separate one apple id into two

For years my wife and I have had one id, now our son is old enough and has his own iTouch and a hand me down MacBook. He has been buying music and apps under our ID. We need to seperate him and his stuff from us. Can this be done without him losing his purchases when he gets his own ID?

As pvonk said, and, you can copy his music from your machine to his and then authorize his to play it, it will still be on your account but playable on his Mac.

Is there a way to completely separate one Apple ID into two Apple IDs?

My now ex and I shared an Apple ID because he was using my ITunes account. He has his own Apple ID but most of the purchases were done using my Apple ID. Is there a way to separate the apps music etc so he doesn't lose everything?

No. Purchases can't be transferred between Apple IDs.

How do I split one Apple account into two accounts?

I have 2 iphones using one Apple ID. The apps are completely different on the 2 phones (wife's stuff, my stuff). I would like to split them into two Apple ID's so I can keep them completely separate. Any ideas?

Sorry, but there is no way to "move" an app from one iTunes Store account to another.

HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID for two Apple IPhones?

Can I use one Apple ID for two Apple IPhones? I received an answer of yes.
Now another question. I have one ICloud Account, Two IPhones. Can I use Find my IPhone via the one ICloud Account? Can I see two IPhones on the map at the same time? or do I need to view the second phone via some other method.

Two users share one Apple ID, on two phones. can they be separated without losing phone backups? IE creating a new ID for one of the users?

my in-laws share one apple id for two separate iPhones. They would like to create a new ID for one of the users but maintain his current backup. can this be done?

If you want to create a new account make sure you sign out of everything via the settings. (ICloud, iTunes, facetime, messages, etc) APPS: since the apps were downloaded with a different apple ID, you will always need to use the password for the apple ID that downloaded that particular APP when it needs to be updated. Unless it is free, you can simply delete it and download it under the new apple ID. As for the music, you can keep it on the IOS device, but if it's accidentally deleted, you'd have to sign back into the original account and download from the cloud. (But, you risk getting the 90 day lockout. )

How to separate one ITunes account into 2.

When I bought my son an iPod touch last year I just set it up using my existing Apple ID. Now I would like to separate them so I only see my things and he only sees his. How do I do that?

You will have to create a new Apple ID for your son, assuming that he is at least 13 years old. You can't split one Apple ID into 2.

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

Is it ok to use one apple id for two devices ?

is it ok to use one apple id for two devices ?

Here's the deal: The SLA permits the "sharing" of content with up to 5 family members in the same household. Any other distribution of content is considered stealing...the SLA does not give you the right to distribute content in any way, shape or form. Its really that simple, and "friend" is NOT a family member living in the same household.

HI
I was trying to take my Mac air to factory default settings.
I've done all that it says in the documment i was following, and them during the process it asked me the APPLE ID.
I put the apple id i have in my iphone. But it's not the one... it's said that i don't have any OSX associated with it... so it can not install the OSX.
So what can i do?

Split one salesorder item into two items in delivery

We want to split one salesorder item into two different items in the same delivery.
This is because we will pick the material from two different storage locations.
Any user-exit to use for solving this?

Hi,
We are not using batch management.
I have looked into the foreign trade/customs standard functionality in SAP, but I can not see that them difference in stock in SAP what is duty paid or not.
We need to have documentation in the system for the custom goverement for what stock is duty paid and not.
For the same material we can have stock which are duty paid and not duty paid. This is decided when we do the goods receipt.
For stock coming from Asia, it is profitable to have this on not duty paid stock since we are exporting it back to Europe and Asia later.
We will send import and export EDI messages to a third party custom application handling all the papers with the custom goverement.
The only we need to make track on in SAP is the stock for what is duty paid and not.
In some situations we need to take stock from both duty paid stock and not duty paid stock when we deliver the same material to a customer. Therefor I asked the question of splitting one delivery item into two items.
Best regards,
Terje

SLT - Splitting one source table into two tables in the destination

Hi,
I am wondering if we can split content of one source table into two different tables in the destination (HANA DB in my case) with SLT based on the codified mapping rules?
We have the VBAK table in ERP which has the header information about various business objects (quote, sales order, invoice, outbound delivery to name a few). I want this to be replicated into tables specific to business object (like VBAK_QUOT, VBAK_SO, VBAK_INV, etc) based on document type column.
There is one way to do it as far as i know - have multiple configurations and replicate to different schema. But we might have to be content with 4 different config at the max.
Any help here will be highly appreciated
Regards,
Sesh

HT204053 Should I use one Apple id for two Apple products

I Bought iPad and already had iPhone ans used same I'd for both
want to know if in future I deleted apps from my iPhone will it be deleted from my iPad also or visa versa

Yes, yes, yes, always use ONLY ONE Apple ID. Multiple IDs will cause multiple problems.
Deleting from one device will not result in deletion from other devices.
It's best to manage your devices from iTunes on a computer. The iTunes will know which device is which but you might want to name them (in iTunes) for your own convenience. You can then decide which music, apps, movies, etc. belong on which device(s).

Using one Apple ID with two iPhones

A couple has his and her phones but only one Apple ID. They want to keep his and her music separate. They have checked the appropriate playlists for each phone, but the entire music library is on both phones. Can the music be separated in this situation?

Really appreciate this quick response. So I guess there won't be an issue to use the same id on two iPhones at the same time.
Thanks again!

One iTunes account into two via home share

My wife and I have been sharing one iTunes account for years. We now have two iMac and so I'd like to separate into two accounts by retaining my original account on my imac and creating a new itunes account on her iMac. Her iMac is the one with the original account. Her ipod is tied to that computer and my account but I'd like her ipod tied to the new account so she can start making purchases that do not show up under my account and on my imac/ipad.
I understand that this process is not possible since apps and songs are liscensed under one user. However, I can easily redownload the apps my wife uses (15 or so, most of which are free). It's the iTunes store bought music I am unclear about.
I've done a bit of researching and have come to an idea that may work but I'd like feedback from those more in the know than I.
So, I'd like to run this process by all of you out there and ask if this sounds right.
My imac is all set with my account.
Wifes iMac: (Core i7, 10.6.8, current iTunes)
- Set-up wife's iMac with a new itunes account.
- Turn on that account in iTunes (authorize to computer to this new account)
- Home Sharing is on (purchased music on her computer under my account but not on my computer... I don't listen to Amy Winehouse)
- Connect her ipod (Touch gen 2) to her iMac and update as new account.
-this may delete all songs on her ipod but with home sharing can I just reload the music from the itunes library?
-Will I be able to load the store purchased music that resides on her imac onto her ipod touch with the new account on it?
- Or will she have to "authorize" each and every song as the ipod plays them???
– Redownload wifes previous free apps (downloaded under my name) under her new account.
The end result is I'd like any new purchases of songs or apps to be under her new account but still retain the music she purchased under my account on her ipod. Thus she can purchase on the device and it will update in itunes on iMac.
Does this make sense? Will this work?
Thanks,

I just got zapped by this crazy conundrum yesterday. I bought a used ipad1 thru EBay, for my son. He doesn't have home Internet or an up to date Mac so I set it up for him on my computer, unaware of the 90-day lockout rule. He owns a lot of iTunes downloads and I thought input would be faster to do it wired to my computer rather than via wireless direct onto his iPad, so I logged out of my account and into his. When I was done downloading his stuff I logged out of his account and got the 90-day lockout notice when I logged back into my account!
Thanks to all the posters here and other similar threads I learned what had happened, but until I got to this thread I thought I was locked out of ALL downloads, including new purchases. Thanks for the info about it just being for re-downloads. Fortunately, I am obsessive about backing up all new purchases in a master iTunes file. It just seems kinda stupid. What is the point in locking me out of things I already own? Anyway, thanks for the help!
Just tested on my computer and was indeed able to download a new album from iTunes on my account.
As far as sharing between devices is concerned, I have separate iTunes folders for each of 4 iOS devices I use, and simply use the "Add to library" feature in iTunes to copy anything I need to from one device's folder to the other. Works well.

HT204053 Change one Apple ID (shared) to 2 individual IDs, without losing stuff.

Change one Apple ID (shared) to 2 seperate IDs, without losing stuff. We have 2 ipads, mac pro, and io phone 5.

You won't loose a thing as long as you also keep the original Apple ID. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple does not merge Apple IDs. The content acquired (bought or free) is forever associated with the Apple ID that acquired it. That is the only Apple ID that can redownload what is redownloadable and the only ID that can update anything.
You can comingle the content of multiple Apple IDs on the same computer or iOS device, so you can still share what you have, and create two new IDs whereby you keep content separate.
Can you live with that?
