I just got a 4S but wife has one already & itunes account.  Need advice on how to proceed

We have Windows 7 and only use one user account.  I am not opposed to creating a new one if need be.  She has itunes & her own account for her iPhone.  We have always used that account for music & sharing it on my iPod.  I now have an iPhone also.  Do I need a new account of my own or am I better served just using the same account?  Any other suggestions?

But I was wondering if you share the same apple id for app store and itunes wouldn't every app that he purchased also show up on his wife's phone.
No, you can just delete the ones you don't want on each iPhone.  The apps will still be retained within iTunes, but each device can store different apps. You choose.

  • Just got an iphone 4, now my app store (itunes account) doesn't work...

    Like the title states, I just got an iPhone 4 today.
    For some reason, my apps don't transfer to my computer when I sync, so I have to re-download everything. No big deal.
    One problem, I have to verify my itunes account. It keeps saying my request to verify didn't work any whatnot. I can't use itunes or the app store, period! Any suggestions?
    (It wants me to verify my credit card info, which is all correct.)

    I understand that after the guy that wanted to promote his books hacked into some itunes accounts they started asking people to verify repeatedly for security reasons. They are trying to step up their security. It does it when I access from my phone but not when I sync up through my computer anymore.

  • I need to access my library on my new computer. My wife has her own itunes account, but we are on the same home network. I do not want her music and vice a versa. Will this happen using icloud??

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    You will not be able to Transfer anything from your Apple ID to her New Apple ID.
    Anything Purchased / Downloaded using Your Apple ID remains Tied to your Apple ID.

  • My wife has an old iTunes account as well as a current iTunes.  How do I delete the old one?

    My wife inherited my son's older iPod touch and now when we try to update apps our current account comes up then denies us access.  His account then comes up and he can't remember the password.  We're looking for a way to delete his OLD account.

    You can't without repurchasing them from the new one.

    Hello pichastos,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your camera is displaying a black screen, please follow the information outlined below.
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping  (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Take care,
    Alex H.

  • Want to transfer my iTunes account from our PC to our Macbook, but my wife already has her own iTunes account on it...is this possible?

    I am wanting to transfer my itunes account from our PC to our Macbook pro.  Our PC has been riddled with problems and is slower than heck.  The only problem is that my wife already has her own Itunes account on the Macbook.  I have already consolidated the itunes library from my pc and backed it up to an external HD to move, but I have no idea where to go from here.  I don't want to overwrite any of her stuff.  Please help!

    There are many ways to accomplish this, depending on how you want it.  Setting up multiple accounts is easy under System Preferences:Accounts.  After that open iTunes on your newly created account.
    Now, is where you could do a couple of different things.  If your PC is sharing the same network and you are able to see the files on the PC from the iMac, then just drag and drop the iTunes Library music folder structure (just the part that contains the actual music) into the iTunes window.  If you can't access the PC files, then you need to copy them all to an external hard drive, and import them w/ the same method.
    If you don't want to create a second root-level account for yourself, but want to keep the music library separate, create another iTunes Library.  You do this by holding down the Option key while starting iTunes, then click on the Create Library option.  Then import the music using either method above.

  • I have an iTunes account with music. My wife has an iTunes account with apps. How do I get both on our iPad2? Without syncing to just one account?

    I have an iTunes with music and videos. My wife has an iPhone with music and apps. How do I get both on our iPad2?
    Without syncing to just one account?
    We each have our own laptops.

    Hmm.
    Probably easier for me to put all my stuff on my wife's computer I suppose.
    Rebuilding all those iTunes playlists is not very fun though.
    And of course anything new that I want on my laptop I will have to duplicate on her laptop in the future.
    Not sure how iCloud works just yet.
    So you can't have two laptops and manually sync both people's stuff to one iPad?

    I just got a Mac book pro 13 ... I need to remove my husbands cell number from this device but dont know how

    Are you sharing the same iCloud account as your daughter?  If so, that would explain why your contacts are merged.  To fix this, you would need to migrate her device(s) to her own iCloud account.  After doing so, you could then delete her contacts from your Mac without effecting the contacts on her device(s).
    As far as messages, do you have your own iPhone?

  • Both myself and my wife have 2 separate iTunes accounts, I subscribe to iTunes Match. Music purchased on my wife's account appear on our computers iTunes library but my iPad cannot access the music she has purchased. Is there any way to overcome this

    The only way to do what you want is to log into your wife's iTunes Store account on your iPad. Doing this will lock you out of your account for 90 days.

  • I just got a new computer. I have downloaded iTunes and authorized it. It shows my apps and music but says something about "downloading all". Do I have to download everything on to this new computer or is it already in there? I need to sync my iPad too.

    I just got a new computer. I have downloaded ITunes and authorized it. It shows my apps and music, but says something about "downloading all". Do I have to download everythingon to this new computer or is it already in there? I also have an iPad that I need to sync. Is there anything special I need to do with the new computer before syncing the iPad? 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Issy2090

    Your past purchases are not on the computer.   By choosing download all, those purchases will download to the computer. 
    Once authorized to your iTunes account you can control the computer.
    When syncing the iPad the first time you will get the warning " this iPad is synced with another computer, syncing will erase all contents and replace with the contents of this computer"
    Say yes, this is what you wan to do. 

  • I think my account has been compromised. I just got a receipt for $10.69 today that I didn't spend. How do I get my money back?

    I think my account has been compromised. I just got a receipt for $10.69 today that I didn't spend. How do I get my money back?
    I've already submitted my problem to PayPal and they are investigating it. I need to get this reversed and my money back. It's hard enough saving for formula without some ******* buying **** with my information.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    It was a genuine email from iTunes, not a phishing attempt trying to get your account and payment details ?
    Viewing your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support (on an iOS device you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com)

And change your account's password e.g. by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu on your computer's iTunes, or via http://appleid.apple.com
    If it is a phishing email then forward it to Apple : [email protected] , and then delete it.
