My husband and i both have an iphone 5. we are having trouble using two itunes accounts on one computer
My husband and I both have an iphone5. I had mine first and setup my itunes account. When we purchased his phone we sent up another itunes account but on the same computer. Now we are running into problems, especially when he wants to set up playlists from his music to his phone and in general with synching. should we start over with just one itunes account and both use that with the one computer?
By the sounds of it you have linked Email Accounts, if so this means that you will both recieve the majority of the same Emails, and if you do and you read them on your account (which is linked with your husbands) then they will appear to read on the both of them because they are linked. With the majority of Email providers these days they're Emails are (simplified) in the cloud you could say, meaning that if you read or delete shared Emails then it will do the same on both accounts rather than just the yours.
I hope all that made sense, sorry that I couldn't be of anymore assistance.. If you havent already try googling your problem - you may find some answers on there

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. -
We have two iTunes accounts on one computer. Why is my music, apps, etc showing in my husbands account? Home sharing is NOT selected. This recently became an issue when we added additional devices. Now we keep getting each other's apps!
Se descargan aplicaciones para mi iPad 64 3G, las cuales en el momento de sincronizar no pasan a la iPad debido a que solicita una autorizacion para el ordenador la cual se autoriza con ID y el Password, esta orden se procesa y vuelve a solicitar nuevamente la autorizacion y asi sucesivamente.
He intentado creando nuevas cuentas y desinstalando iTunes y volviendolo a instalar.
Favor de orientarme en la solucion adecuada para el asunto comentado anteriormente. -

Not sure what you mean.
An account is a user name and password.
Sign into whichever account you want to use for purchasing.
Authorize the computer for both account to listen to the content. -
Can we have two iTune accounts on one computer
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to know if I can create two iTune accounts on one computer.
My teen and I right now share one account and the problem gets confusing
when we both want to use Itune gift cards (it's hard to keep track separately).
I have a 2nd gen Touch and my teen has a 2nd gen Nano but might be getting the newer nano. Any help will be greatly appreciated. ThanksJust wanted to know if I can create two iTune accounts on one computer.
You can. Log in and out as needed, or create a new Windows XP user account.

I have two ITunes accounts on one computer. One is a classic iPod, the other is for a Nano with a different user. Is it possible to "share" playlists? If so, how do I go about doing that?
videoDVD is a delivery format, normally end of the of the road...
but, you can convert dvds into something editable, you need 3rd party tools, your options are, in recommended order:
* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter -
My husband and I both have Iphone 4's. I do not receive any text messages that he sends me. He gets mine though. He sends texts to other iphone users and they get them. I get text messages from other phones including iphones. Please help.
Both of yall need to go to settings, meassages, send and recieve, scroll down to start new conversation from, and make sure you have different email addresses with a check mark beside it. Right now sounds like they are the same email addresses.

Two iPhones and two iTunes accounts on one computer
My wife and I both have identical iPhones and my wife wants to give her laptop to my son. I thought that I could manage her iPhone from the same computer that I manage my iPhone from but I am having issues. If I logout of iTunes and login with her ID, iTunes does a backup of her phone but iTunes displays my apps, not hers.
I've searched this forum and cannot find the answer although I am confident that we aren't the first to want to do this.Are you both using the same Windows login account or separate accounts? It sounds like you are trying to both use the same Windows login account as well as iTunes Library, which is probably where your problem lies.
I believe (but I haven't verified) that if you create a new iTunes Library for one of the two of you, you can each manage your own music & apps i your respective libraries. If you use separate Windows signon accounts, you can easily manage using different libraries, but it might be a bit more difficult using just one Windows account. All f this assumes you are using Windows since you don't clearly state, but similar could be applied to MacOS. -
Can you have two iTunes accounts on one computer?
Just bought a MacBook Air which I'm sharing with my husband. Is it possible to have two active iTunes accounts on one computer? We both have very different tastes in music and we have our own iPhones that we'd like to update differently. Would be great to have the option to separate our accounts.
Yes you can... and it's not that hard

HT201269 can i have two itunes accounts on one computer
can i have two itunes accounts on one computer
Hello Barry
It is a yes and no answer. Yes you can but you cannot have them in the same iTunes library or one of the accounts cannot be associated for 90 days. You would need to have either a separate user or separate iTunes library to have both Apple ID’s on the same computer.

I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that I would like to sync with my iTunes account on my computer. The CDs were on my original laptap also, but it was stolen and I set up the iTunes on my new computer.
When I try to sync I get a message indicating that the iPhone iTunes will be replaced with the computer iTunes.
How can I sync and retain both iTunes?Music is designed to sync in one way only, and that is from iTunes to the phone. There is the expectation that you would backup the computer to save this data. There are 3rd party solutions to try and recover music from the phone to put back into a blank iTunes library.

Can I Have Two iTunes Accounts on One Computer?
I have an iTunes account and no iPhone. My wife has an iPhone but has notestablished an iTunes account. Can we open her iTunes account on my computer? I so, do we have to download a second instance of iTunes on my computer to establish her account?
Can we open her iTunes account on my computer?
Yes. Log in and out of the iTunes Store as desired, or create a separate Windows user account.
do we have to download a second instance of iTunes on my computer to establish her account?
Only one instance of iTunes itself can exist per bootable OS.

HT5622 How do I have two apple ID's or two itune accounts on one computer?
My wife and I want to keep our iTunes separate so we have our own pics and music on our own phones. How do we sync them without combining them?
Use separate user accounts on the computer, or launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) keys held down and switch libraries as needed.

Move two iTunes accounts onto one computer and keep them separate?
I recently got a new mac os x lion and I need to put my families iTunes library on it. the problem is that one separate account is on a computer, and the other separate account is on an external hard drive. I need both different accounts on one computer and continue to be separate. Im hoping to be able to log in and out of my own account without disturbing the other one. Thanks in advance for the help!
Why don't you create a username (at OS level) for each one of the users? You can then import the contents of each one of the accounts you mention into the appropriate iTunes.

My husband and I both have an iPhone and we share an iPad. We also share the same email address so how would this work with iCloud because we don't share all the same contacts?
ThanksAn icloud account is designed to be used by one user. That user can have all his/her devices synced with the same Apple data (email, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) . When two people use the same account, then problems usually occur when one user edits data that the other user doesn't want changed on their device. You can continue sharing the same ID for the itunes account in order to share the purchased music, apps, etc. itunes accounts and icloud accounts are different.
It's by far better that each user has his/her own icloud account.
