The way I set up my 3 iPhones is to create separate "iCloud" ID's for each user, but then use the SAME iTunes Apple ID for the iTunes store. You'll most likely lose your contacts, Calendars etc. unless you have them saved on a computer. You'll need to delete your current Account under iCloud, then create a new "iCloud" Apple ID ([email protected]) for at least one device if not both (one for yourself and one for your husband). Once you have those set up for your iCloud, then Goto Settings, Store, then change that ID to your old "iTunes" Apple ID, that way you can still both use your previously purchased Music/Apps etc.
You can then change your computers to use the new iCloud ID's and it should upload the data back to the cloud. Just be warned that it might wipe out any saved Contacts/Calendars etc. if you don't have them on a computer as well.
There is a Help article on how to do this as well, but i can't seem to find the link.

Daughter is over 18 and wants to make her own purchases. She has music I no longer need to share with her. Can I give it to her somehow?
purchased music is tied to the iTunes store account (Apple ID) used to purchase the content and cannot be transferred.
however, a single iTunes can be authorized for up to five Apple IDs. so, all your daughter needs to do is authorize her iTunes for your Apple ID along with her own. you can use home sharing or an external HD or burn the tunes to disc to transfer them to her computer/user account on your computer. -
I am administrator for Mac. My husband and i both have separate iPhones with separate contacts. Since i0S 6.1 update these contacts are now shared which we do not want. I have set up separate iCloud email and account for my husband. How do i ensure that i
You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours. If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for). You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content. -
My daughter has been using my iTunes account to buy music and apps. I now want to set up a separate iTunes account for her, with a different login. How can we transfer the music and apps she has already bought to her new iTunes account?
Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?

The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now? Or should we? 5 macbooks, 2 ipads, 4 iphones, 2 itouch, 2 imacs. How does one decide what to sync, share and what not to? Green Jeans.
You need to start by understanding the distinction between iTunes and iCloud - Apple confuse the issue by referring to 'iTunes Match' as part of iCloud. It isn't.
You don't have to have the same login (Apple ID) for iTunes and iCloud; many people don't and there's no problem about it.
Your iCloud ID gets you email, calendars, contacts, iWork documents and PhotoStream syncing between devices.
Your iTunes ID gets you the iTunes Store, the App Store for iOS, the Mac App Store for OSX,, 'iTunes in the Cloud' (downloading of purchased items to any logged-in device) and 'iTunes Match' (uploading of songs not purchased in the iTunes Store).
Your family members can easily each get their own iCloud account to keep email etc. separate - in each case they will need a different non-Apple email address (a free one from Yahoo etc. would do) to set up the ID. If they are sharing a Mac they need to be using a separate user account.
They can have their own iCloud accounts and still all sign into the same iTunes account: or they can open their own iTunes accounts using their new iCloud Apple IDs.
BUT they cannot transfer items purchased under the present iTunes ID to different iTunes IDs. -
Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account. Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want. How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID? If so, where do I need to change his email address info, so that his calender and contacts remain his? Thank you

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. -
HI . my wife wants to get her own Itunes account for her Iphone for music . righ now she is using my apple ID and can only access my Itunes account and password-- any ideas ?
thanks ,
jonHi jmb8989,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Does your wife have an AppleID for her iCloud already? If so, she would use the same AppleID to sign in to the iTunes store. If not, here is the information to add or change and Apple ID:

How do I get an Apple ID?
You may already have an Apple ID, and you only need one for everything you do with Apple. If you aren't sure, visit My Apple ID and click Find your Apple ID.
If you don't have an Apple ID, you can create one at My Apple ID. You can also create one by signing up for an Apple service (such as an iTunes Store or iCloud). You should use your primary email address as your Apple ID.
You do not need to create a separate Apple ID for each Apple service. A single Apple ID can be used to access all other Apple services.
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

I have an iPhone sync'd to my iTunes. My boyfriend has his own iPhone with his iTunes account set up within it. We want to sync his iPhone to my iTunes account on the PC but we want to retain everything from both phones and the iTunes account. Is this possible? Help!

No. If you connect his phone to your iTunes account/computer, ALL iTunes content on his phone will be erased. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with ONE computer at a time. -
My wife decided to set up her iPhone on my account and now everything is comingled. I want to set up an iTunes account for just me. Do I have to set that up on a computer or can I set it up on the iPhone?
iTunes will need to be set up on your computer however you can set up a new Apple ID to use for your iPhone. Really all you need to do is Assign a new Apple ID to your iCloud account.
Follow the link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
After you do that, on the device you want to assign a new iCloud account go: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign in with the new Apple ID.
NOTE: This does not effect iTunes, all of your devices can continue to use one shared iTunes account under your original Apple ID for downloading apps and backups. This simply gives iCloud a place to sync the individual devices information and will stop iCloud form merging all the information, such as contacts, with all of your devices. -
My daughter used to use my old iPod and all the music and games that she wanted went through my e-mail/iTunes account. She has moved onto an iPad mini but this is still in my account. I want to set up an e-mail and iTunes account for her so that my iPhone doesnt get jammed up with all her stuff. If I do this I think that all the stuff which I've bought will be lost to her. How can I get round this?
Apple devices can hold protected content from up to five different accounts, however updating apps purchased over more than one account (as far as I'm aware) requires signing in and out of each account. You may be better off continuing to use one account for your family, as I do, but disabling the options on each device for the automatic download of purchases made on the account, and in iTunes, the automatic inclusion of new apps when syncing from the library to the device.

I have a new iPhone for work, set up on a new iTunes account (PC). I was told i can associate it to my home iTunes account (iMac) but don't know how. I want to save the work related apps as well. Any advice? Thanks
Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

can I create a separate icloud account for my husband but still use the same itunes account? I want our contacts, photos and storage capacity to be separate but be able to share music and apps we purchase.

Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users. -
My mum is always using my iPad and I want to set mode if you like that she can log in as some one different and use apps she likes and I can use a diFferent log in and use different apps and stuff
iOS 7 does not support multiple user accounts like you want.
If all the apps are different, you could set her up with her own page of apps, then just show her how to get to her apps page, or just buy her an iPad for herself.
