I have an Itunes account on my wife's computer; but now she wants her own Itunes account on this same computer.  How do I do that?

How can I set up a second Itunes account on the same computer.  I have my Itunes account on my wifes computer and she wants her own Itunes account on this same computer.    Since it's her computer and her Windows log on account, I don't want her to have to log in as someone else.   I have my Itunes account on my own computer...it looks like I might have to take Itunes off her machine (delete the whole program) and then reload with an entirely new account?

Of course you will want to back up through iTunes.   Because you're using the same computer and you don't your wife to use a different login, the only other option is that you will need to create a separate user account (in Windows) on that computer, open iTunes, and restore from the back up.   The two libraries will be separate through the user profile of Windows.    If you had a Mac it would be the same, because you just simply can't have two iTunes libraries coexist under the same user account at the same time.

    How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. The only way is for you to have a separate user account to log into on that computer.

    You can only buy content from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it

  • My daughter wants her own itunes account.  will she lose everything from my account?

    My daughter wants her own itunes account.  Will she lose everything from our shared account?

    Hi Randy,
    John is correct, there is no true "sharing" it's more like right of use, but she can still use all the stuff she has from your account on her device, it's just a little tricky. My daughter has had her own account for over a year but she had used my account before that. She has her own iPod, Macbook Pro, and now she just bought her own iPhone.
    It had never been a big deal to her until she got her phone because she has to use only her account, my e-mail and stuff she does not need on her phone. So use Home Sharing on your computer with her login and her login on her device. The biggest question is are you using two computers or one? With just a single computer it may make it harder because you really have no way of home sharing (I may stand correctly by someone else though). With two computers you just setup home sharing, login to both iTunes accounts with her login, use her computer (or the second computer) and drag all the stuff over to that iTunes library, music, apps, etc. Then they will be on her computer. Then she just drags them on to her iOS device. They will copy and she can use them.
    There is no way around updates though. They can only be updated with the original account, which I believe why John stated use iTunes Plus first, because the will not play at all under a different account login. The only advantage that my daughter wanted to use this for was progress on games, so she wouldn't have to start over. Most of our stuff are free downloads so it was not even a repurchase issue as much as time on a game issue.
    If you use only one computer, it should work the same way but I have not tried it so I can not say for sure. Logout of you account name and drag the stuff to her iOS device.

  • When I got my new iphone 4,  I gave my wife my old iphone. She has her own Apple Id but the icloud on her phone is in my email name account. If I delete it to create her own icloud account, will I loose my stuff on my icloud account?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    When you delete the old account from the phone, the data is only deleted from that device, it is not deleted from the cloud. As such you will not lose the data off your phone either.

  • HT1296 i have been syncing my iphone with my work computer but now I want to switch to my laptop. how?

    I have been syncing my iphone to my work PC and now I want to switch to my laptop for syncing. How?

    An iPhone can only sync with one library at a time.  If you do not wish to have your present iTunes library on the home computer replace the one on the phone you will need to put the content of the work library on the home computer so it is still syncing with the same library
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.

  • Can I share my iPad apps with my wife--she has her own iTunes account

    I just bought my wife an iPad.  Can I share some of my apps with her?  We have different accounts and use different computers to sync.

    Well, it's real easy if you use the same computer with the same computer login.  Just connect and go!  iTunes will keep track of which iPad is which by name.  The only minor nuisance is app updates.  You want to get into the habit of always using the iPads.  iTunes requires that you log out and back in again but the iPads handle it automatically.  You just have to remember the PW for both accounts.
    I can't help you with two computers.

  • Sharing iTunes account with my daughter, now she needs her own. Help!

    I hope some smart person can help me.
    I use an old G5 Mac and have my music on it. I unexpectedly got a foster daughter (long story) and she's a joy to have, but her music tastes are quite different than mine. I purchased music for her on her own laptop (a PC using Vista) on my account. So my music on is on my computer, her music is on hers but both are my under account.
    Now, she may be moving back with her biological Mother. Can I somehow transfer her music/app library on her PC to an account that I set up for her? I've spent a LOT of money on silly Pop music like Hannah Montana! I refuse to repurchase it!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Music downloaded from the iTunes store is DRM free, so it will play on any person's computer. You can simply transfer the music files to your daughters computer and she will be able to play it no problem. Whilst there is probably some obscure clause in the iTunes store terms and conditions saying you cannot transfer music to another person, given the familial circumstances, and assuming you delete the tracks from your computer upon giving the tracks to your daughter I wouldn't see any problem.
    As for apps, if they are free apps then she can simply redownload them on her account. If they are paid apps then it's a little more awkward and you may need to contact iTunes store support to see what they can do, if anything.

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.rds.
    (If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
    Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44:  Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)

  • My daughter received an I phone for Christmas and we set it up using my iTunes account.  She just received an iPad and wants to set up her own iTunes account.  How do we do that without lsing all of her content that she added to my iTunes account.

    My daughter received an I phone for Christmas and we set it up using my iTunes account.  She just received an iPad and wants to set up her own iTunes account.  How do we do that without losing all of her content that she added to my iTunes account. I have home sharing on my account.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If she creates her own iTunes account she can't use any protected content purchased under another account. She can play unprotected content synced from an iTunes library on a computer, but she can only download content from the cloud that is purchased under her account.
    It's a pain I know, but the longer you put off the move, the worse the situation will become.

  • My wife and I share a calendar in a .mac account, but she has her own apple ID and iTunes account

    I have long had a .mac account that I use mostly to share calendars among my machines, which include my desktop iMac and MacBook Air, and my wife's desktop Mac and her iPad. She has her own iTunes account which I don't need access to, we each have our own AddressBook and Mail accounts which we don't wish to share. All machines are iCloud capable.
    We only wish to share claendars.
    How do we accommodate this in iCloud?
    Thanks,
    Chuck

    I've a related problem...I believe. I have a MobileMe account with two "email only" accounts. Both of the email- onlys are quite active with lots of emails. I want to move everything to the cloud.
    My Question: must I follow a specific order of moving to iCloud in order to preserve the data on the mail-onlys? e.g. move the email-onlys first or move them last?  Or in some special manner. And I want to avoid much downtime? The "email only" kind of account doesn't seem to be listed in the documents I've read, except in my MobileMe  Account Summary.
    TIA

  • L added her sister R to a family plan. Can R have her own itunes account for syncing the phone and downloading her own apps, or must she always sign in using L's account and password?

    So, if R wants to sync her iphone 5C but still have L pay for it on the family plan, can R just get her own itunes account for buying music and apps? Or is she stuck using L's account?

    Family Plan as with the cell phone carrier?
    Is so, the iTunes account or Apple ID is not related to the type of cell phone plan an iPhone is under.
    Will the sisters being using the same computer and iTunes library?
