2 users on one itunes account

Can I make two users under one itunes account? My son has an ipod touch and I just bought the iphone 4S and I don't want all of his games on my phone.

Multiple users under one itunes account

I have multiple mac's (both desktops and laptops) as well as multiple iphones and ipads at home. I am limited in itunes to only 5 devices - what should i do? set-up a different itunes account for my kids (but then they will not be able to access the music and movies that have already been purchased).
Unsure how to best set-up 4 people (with each having an iphone, ipad and mac) itunes.
Any suggestions?

Ideally, each will have their own iTunes account.
I am limited in itunes to only 5 devices
Each iTunes account is limited to 5 computers but 10 devices.
So you can have content from one iTunes account on 5 computers and also 5 iDevices.
set-up a different itunes account for my kids (but then they will not be able to access the music and movies that have already been purchased).
Yes, they will. Just authorize each computer for the other iTunes accounts.
Make sure you go to iTunes prefs > Store and disable Automatic downloads.
Also disable it on the iDevices in Settings > iTunes and App stores.
You can share content between users/libraries by using Home Sharing.

Multiple Facetime users on one iTunes Account?

I have an iTunes account that I registered my iPhone and my two daughters' iTouches on (so we can share music and apps). The problem is, I can't figure out how to log them on to Facetime since it seems to want my Apple ID. I figured out how to add their email addresses to my Apple account, but it still doesn't seem to recognize them. Is it even possible for them to each use Facetime on their own iTouch if we all share one iTunes account?

Based on my experience, I would say initially use you Apple ID to setup the FT account on each iPod . Then add their individual email address and then delete the Apple ID account. That is what I did for my iPod. My Mac uses my Apple ID while my iPod uses an alternate email address.

2 iPad users using one iTunes account. how best to manage this?

My wife and I both have ipads, ipods, and iphones. We want to use one iTunes account but it has proven to be very frustrating. any advice?

as far as we can tell, iTunes has no concept that this is iPad1 and this is iPad2. The only to manage sharing 80% same content but diferentiating on 20% is to manage EVERYTHING manually. With lots of apps, movies, and 80GBs of songs, this is ridiculous. We can't be the only couple who want one account but lots of different devices with different desired items on them.
Some syncs can't be done manually so we have to go back and delete or add after the fact. Giant waste of time.
iTunes on the iPad is a bit of a joke. it doesn't seem to have any relationship to iTunes on our primary computer. It doesn't actually function the same way (doesn't actually store downloaded items) which leads to iTunes confusion, frustration, and sometimes duplicate buying.
I'm thinking I'll just wait for the cloud service but given apple's record with iTunes, I'm a little doubtful about that. Appreciate the response.

Multiple users on one itunes account

Hi. I have 3 separate users on my Windows 7 machine with each having a unique library but all sharing the same itunes account. I want to split them up and give 2 of them new itunes accounts but obviously I want them to keep their library and if possible playlists etc. Is there a simple way to do that?

If they each already have their own library, there is really nothing to split up.
They can get new accounts and start buying new stuff as they wish.
The only problem will be any "protected" content that they may have purchased from the iTunes Store. If the "protected" content is pre-2009 songs, they can upgrade those tracks to iTunes Plus, which will play without authorization.

Multiple devices with multiple users on one itunes account

How do I get my daughters iTouch on my same itunes account so we can share apps/music but so that I don't see her imessages? Also - I don't want her messages coming across with my name. Thanks!

It's an all or nothing feature as long as everyone has full access to the Apple ID. But every device can have a custom build. You don't have to put every bit of content in the libraries on every device.
Otherwise, you need a separate Apple ID for business.

Two computers/users. One iTunes account. Different question.

My husband and I share an iTunes account but 90% of the tunes in each of our libraries are specific to our own computers and we'd like to keep it that way. I set up iTunes match via mine, if I set it up on his (using the same ITunes store account) will the combined tunes show up on both computers? We wouldn't want that. They can live together in the Cloud, but I'd like the iTunes libraries to stay the same/

By logging into the same iTunes account and enabling iTunes Match the music from both computers will be visible on both. However, I think that you can hide the items in the cloud by pulling down View > Hide Cloud Purchases. I'm not sure if that menu command applies to iTunes Match, though.

Multiple users on one itune account

Help. My Iphone and my daughter's phone have now merged. I am getting some messages designated for her and all her contacts are in my phone.

This is what happens when a single Apple ID is shared for iCloud and iMessage.

HT1918 If I have two users on an itunes account can I change the payment information on just one of the users without loosing purchased items?

If I have two users on one itunes account, can I change the payment method on one without loosing the purchases on that user? If so how do I do this?

If so how do I do that

One iTunes account with 2 separate user accounts?

I'm trying to figure out how to set up my daughter since we're upgrading her from an iPod Touch to an iPhone minus the phone (my hubby got a new iPhone 4S and she's getting his 3GS but it's got no phone contract so it works like a larger, more souped up iPod Touch!)
I initially wanted to start her on her own iTunes account from now on to make it clean and get her going on iCloud with her own stuff. But, from what I've read, there may be an advantage to keeping her on my iTunes account for now since she won't really be making any independent purchases without my approval. That said, I'm not exactly crazy about her syncing to my iTunes library all the time - and I definitely don't want her photo stream!
Is there a way to establish TWO user accounts on my iMac which would lead to TWO iTunes and iPhoto libraries (I think?) but use ONE iTunes account for both of them?
I've read through the help but most seems to be going the other direction - (2 itunes accounts, 1 library).
Thanks for the help -
Alexa

You can't split the accounts. Purchased items stay authorized with the account it was purchased on. Really, the only thing you can do is keep your libraries separate and use them that way, or create an account for her, put your purchases in her account and authorize her device(s) to use your apple ID. I've done that with my library; my boyfriend and I share the same library with two different accounts and each of our devices are authorized to play one anothers purchases.
Sorry there's no better way I can think of. I'd like to split our libraries.... I wish Apple would create a feature keeping in mind that people buy new PCs and that family members move and get old enough for their own account, etc. :/

Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices

Can I use one itunes account for multiple users and multiple devices?

The iTunes EULA, as I understand it (I'm not an attorney )for Apps is basically that one person can use an App multiple devices, or multiple people can use an App one device..so one to many or many to one, but not many to many....

How do I share one itunes account between two users on the same computer

How do I share one itunes account between two users on the same computer without taking up twice as much space on my hard drive?

You would need to move the itunes folder to a location that both users have permissions to access such as the Shared folder or any folder on the root level of the macintosh HD.
You can find instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203 This method allows you to share the content without sharing the same library.

Multiple computer users, one iTunes account

One computer, multiple users (each logon), one iTunes account. All songs are downloaded to D:. I want all songs downloaded by any user to show in everyones library. If I purchase a song how do I make it also show in other user's libraries?

Hudgie's advice is correct. But if you want more detailled instructions read this Apple document:
