Husband/wife shared iTunes but different Apple accounts on different devices
My husband and I both have iPhones but our own laptops and ipads. We've been sharing one itunes and apple account. We haven't used the cloud, because that would combine our calendars, contacts, etc. The itune/apple account is associated with my email address. I've created him an apple account this morning, but now I'm stuck.
He doesn't want to use his own itune account, all his purchases are on our shared one. We want to put his apple account on his phone, laptop and ipad, but when I tried to log into his apple account on his phone, it won't let me get past the credit card number for itunes. We do NOT want to use this for his itunes.
How can I attach his phone to his apple account, but keep itunes separate?
He has a PC, iPad and iphone. I have a Mac, and iPhone.
I've found instructions here on the apple site, but doesn't address the itunes issue. I don't want him to lose his music and apps that he's already purchased.
Bottom line: How can he access 2 different accounts:
He wants to use his own apple account for icloud, contacts, mail, and calendar
He wants to keep using iTunes on my account.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
That's easily done. iTunes and iCloud are different services, you can sign in to each with seperate ID's if you want on the same device. He'll probably want to sign in with his own Apple ID for messages and FaceTime too, which are also seperate services.

How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?
How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?
Morning Saintine,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.

Managing multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac
May be a very simple question to answer, but can I manage multiple iOS devices on different Apple accounts from the same iMac?
I ask as whilst I'm totally Mac'd, my partner who has her own Apple account has a Winows laptop and experiences problems updating iOS software on her iPhone 4S and iPad 3 Gen via the laptop. I'm thinking the problems may be overcome if we manage her iOS devices through my iMac.Thanks dwb .... I thought there'd be a catch .... not to keen on all that media and apps on my iMac!
The specific problem is that whenever she updates to the latsest version of iOS using the latest iTunes for Windows on her PC laptop she seems to lose something in the process. One time she lost all her texts and the other day when updating to 5.1.1 she lost all her reminders. Not the end of the world but frustrating and shouldn't really happen and doesn't happen to me using the iMac and OSX. -
Continuity between different apple accounts
Dear All,
I have an account A (iPhone), different account B(iPad/Mac). Account A has enabled the "Family Sharing" with Account B.
Both the devices are in the same WiFi.
Is there a way to enable continuity between two different Apple accounts (A & B)? Your ideas/thoughts will be appreciated.
Continuity in this discussion means - Picking up the calls from other devices, Receiving the messages from other devices
ThanksContinuity only works with devices signed into the same iCloud account. It won't work across different accounts. There's more information on this here: Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity.

Can u/how do u share playlists between different apple accounts on the same computer?
I had that problem once and iTunes store support was able to help me resolve it. I can't recall at this point what the solution is, but suggest you contact them here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes
Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes
Yes, but you have to logout of one, and login to the other.
If it is an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and you buy apps on different accounts, when it comes time to update an app, you have to specify the password for the account used to acquirer the app. You change an iOS account via Settings -> Store -> Apple ID (tap on it), and start by logging out and then you can enter the other Id
So it is possible, but it can also be a pain. -
Do I need a different apple ID for each device I have? I have two iPads and an iPod but I can only make purchases with the first one I purchased. It tells me the security questions are wrong but I know they are not because I wrote them down. I have also reset them and my password once. Please help if you can
You can not login into iTunes or the App Store using VPP credentials. You must purchase all apps/book/etc. from the VPP website. Then you can redeem the codes thru itunes/app store or import the codes thru apple configurator. Here is the url for the VPP website: https://volume.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/login?cc=us
(It will not affect any of the apps you already have but the id can only be used for VPP.)

Sounds like your sharing the same apple id. settings - message - send&receive - make sure the cell number is the default for both phones.

Hi Kevin Gauthereau,
Welcome to the Support Communities! If you don't have access to the original computer that you use to sync to iTunes, you can backup your iPad to iCloud and update it wirelessly. This article will explain how:
iCloud: Back up your iOS device to iCloud

You can import your pictures to your computer at any time as a second backup. Here's how:
iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

My Iphone 3gs wont charge, turn on, or restore itself in Itunes, but the apple logo still appears when I hold the sleep botton. How can I make my Iphone work???? I know it is not dead because I can see the apple logo on, and every time I connect it to a USB port to charge, or a wall charger, the battery appears with a bit of red. Still, it wont turn on. It's been like this for three days now and I haven't stopped charging it. IT just WONT charge? Any tips I can use to solve the issue?
-EstebanHello estebie67,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the iPhone is experiencing issues upon startup, and may not be loading the firmware or operating system correctly. If you have not already done so, try resetting the iPhone while connected to power:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the above does not resolve your issue, it will be best to restore the iPhone in recovery mode:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Thanks,
