Is it possible to associate two iTunes accounts with 1 iMac?

My wife and I both share an iMac but have seperate user accounts. Each account is linked to different iCloud accounts. I recently purchased a few songs on my iPhone and was wanting to download them to our shared iMac but was unable to as my account was not associated with the iMac. We purchased the iMac a couple weeks ago and I didn't have any problems downloading from the iCloud then. Friday my wife associated her account with the iMac and disabled mine. Now iTunes says I have to wait 86 days until I can download my previously purchased items.
Any way that both can be associated with the same mac to allow past purchases to be downloaded?
Thanks

Is it possible to get an answer to a question around here? At least respond that, "We don't know and we'll get back to you."

  • HT204266 I have two itunes accounts with 2 apple ID's.  How do I combine them?

    I have two itunes accounts with two Apple ID's how can I combine them?

    It's not currently possible to merge accounts, nor to transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that bought/downloaded it.

  • HT1491 I have two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's.  How can I merge them into one?

    I ahve two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's.  How can I merge them into one account?

    Apple has no provisions for this. You cannot merge multiple Apple ID's into one ID. Content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

  • I have two Ipods andwant t oset up two Itune accounts with two different libraries

    I have two Ipods and want to set up two Itune accounts with two different libraries.  Can this be done?

    You can, but switching iTunes libraries and store accounts is generally more hassle than it is worth. You can sync each device with selected purchases and if you have more than one iOS device disable the option to Automatically include new apps, then apps purchased on one device won't automatically load onto the other.

  • First-time user of IPod Shuffle, my husand has an IPod Touch and has hundreds of songs already on his ITunes account. If Is it possible to have two ITunes accounts so his music is not automatically loaded onto my new Shuffle?

    Just bought an IPod Shuffle; my husband has an IPod Touch and has hundreds of songs on his ITunes account.  Is it possible to have two different accounts on the same computer to prevent his music from being loaded onto my Shuffle?

    When you say "iTunes account," I think you mean iTunes library.  An iTunes "account" is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store (your Apple ID) and purchase songs (and other media).  The iTunes library is what you have on your computer, with your songs and playlists.  That is what you use for syncing iPods.
    You can have a separate iTunes library.  If you create a new user account on your computer (using Windows) and log in to that user account, iTunes will create a new iTunes library for that account.  In fact, Windows will keep ALL of your documents separate, as if you are using a separate computer.  That is probably the best way to keep your songs in a different iTunes library.
    You can also create a separate iTunes library in the same Windows user account, if you use this procedure to switch between iTunes libraries

    Also, you can use the same iTunes library, and decide what songs you want put on the shuffle.  iTunes does not automatically put songs on the shuffle, unless you tell it to do so.  This document explains how to load content on shuffles
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
    NOTE:  If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  When connected, your shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.
    FYI - There is a link to the shuffle user manual on this support web page for the shuffle

  • Is it possible to connect two iTunes accounts to one iPad?

    We are looking at an enterprise deployment for the iPad 2.  We would like to have a corporate owned iTunes account and also allow individuals to use their personal iTunes account.  Is this possible and if so is there a document that exists on this topic?  Thank you.

    You can sync content from up to five iTunes Store accounts to a given iPad, if that's what you mean. An iPad can only be synced to a single iTunes library, though, so all content for each iPad has to be in a single library on a single computer.
    If that doesn't cover your question, please post back.
    Regards.

  • Is it possible to combine two iTunes accounts?

    I somehow managed to create two separate accounts for iTunes (one for when I was a PC user and then the second when I bought my Mac). Is there a way to combine the two accounts into one?
    Thanks!

    None that I know of, and no way for any user to do. You can try contacting iTunes Music Store Customer Service and asking if they can do it, but most likely they will not be able to, in which case you'll have to maintain two accounts if you've purchased through both (not a problem; you can have up to five iTMS accounts on any one system).

  • Two itune accounts with two iphones but we want to share each other's music

    Hello,
    My husband and I both have Iphones and two separate itunes accounts.  Our PC's are set up on home sharing so the music we download is in our itunes library, however, I can't seem to move anything he's purchased on to my phone.  How can we do this?

    Use Home Sharing to copy the music from his iTunes library to yours (unless you've already done so).  Authorize your computer for the Apple ID used to purchase this music (Store>Authorize this Computer) and you should be able to sync the music to your phone.

  • Two iTunes accounts, one iMac, two iPhones - want to share apps

    My wife and I both have iPhones, and we have our own iTunes accounts. Her phone is first generation, and mine is 3GS.
    We have one iMac with a single user on the mac. I have been able to sync both the phones just fine because I have set up both her phone's sync preferences to ignore application sync.
    But now we have a situation where I have purchased some app that I want her to be able to use and vice versa. I had read somewhere that Apple now allows the household to share purchased apps.
    I am not sure though, how to exactly do it. I have read on these forums that I could go to "Authorize Computer" and then "Transfer All Purchased Content from this iPhone" and I did that with my wife's phone, while I was signed into my iTunes account.
    I noticed it was transferring the apps but they do not show under the Applications area.
    Is there a step-by-step guide somewhere?

    There is no device limit for the number of iPods and/or iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer. Although iTunes music no longer includes DRM protection when purchased, 3rd party apps do include DRM protection, which is tied to the iTunes account used to purchase/download the app.
    I tried a quick search but could not find it, but I am sure that either during one of the iPhone OS updates or an iTunes update, it was also revealed that within a household, paid apps can be shared.

  • I added a new iTunes account. Wanted new library, did it, but now my old library dissappeared and I can't retrieve it on my laptop. How do I find it. Is it possible to have two different accounts with 2 different libraries and go from one to the other?

    I added a second account to my iTunes on my laptop. I wanted to give 2nd acct. its own library. I did by holding down shift key and going to start menu, choosing all programs then iTunes, then iTunes again. It asked me: choose library or create another iTunes library. I chose the later. I renamed it and saved in My Music. It automatically started up iTunes and brought me to the new library, but I cant get back to the old library with all my purchases, etc... What do I do to get the old library back? Computer illiterate, so please be kind. Thanks

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • Is it possible to have two itunes accounts? Ive changed my apple id and music is missing?

    I have changed my apple id to a different one due to so many mistakes on my part. Not knowing how to properly use an apple product...still learning and I believe some how my husbands email is synced with my apple id even though he has his owm id and password and so do i. I am missing songs in itunes and cant download them to the ipod i have. it's an older model I believe 3rd generation. But most importantly it seems like every time I send him an email to his icloud address...it comes to me. I need help in finding out how to correct this with out losing everything again. Any suggestions from only those without sarcasm. Some of the responses have been rude and not helpful. I just need help. I love my Mac book pro.

    Hi Sherry, sorry to hear about the sarcasm... was it on this forum???
    iTunes & everything else is tied to your Apple ID & eMail.
    See if you can retrieve your old Apple ID...
