Settings App > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads [turn off the catagories you do not wish to be auto-downloaded].
You will want to do this on both devices

I have updated my username and password, but the system keeps asking for my password for an old email for which I have no password.. How can I fix this?
Are you signed into this old ID ("email") in System Preferences>iCloud, System Preferences>Internet Accounts (Mail,Contacts,Calendars), or in Mail>Accounts, Calendar>Accounts or Contacts>Accounts?

My husband and I use the same home computer. He has his ITunes library that links to his Ipod. I have my ITunes library that links to my Ipod. How can we share songs between our libraries? (Windows - Vista)
No. Its not possible.
Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync. -

My husband and I use the same apple id and itunes accounts for each of our phones. His is an Iphone 4 and mine is an 4s. After this last update we are having trouble with his texting.
How do we go about separating our account into two accounts with the same apps and itunes.You would need to create a new Apple ID and re-download and/or repurchase any apps.
However, if it's just a matter of texting, you can go to Settings -> Messages -> Send & Recieve and check which addresses each phone should receive iMessages addressed to. -
My husband and I use the same apple ID. I started using a new iPhone and deleted his contacts from my phone which has also deleted them from his phone. He hasn't backed up his phone but my iPad is backed to iCloud. Can I retrieve the contacts from this?
In preferences turn on iTunes sharing in iTunes preferences and keep iTunes turned on in both accounts. Or better yet put the iTunes library on the main HD rather than in an account and set the location of the library to that location in iTunes preferences.

Can my husband and I use the same e-mail address/AppleID for our 2 phones, our iMac, and our Macbook?
We share an e-mail account and would like to use the same e-mail address for both our phones, as well as our computers at home. Is this possible?
We both have itunes and apple ID's of our own right now, but since getting married, we are deleting these e-mail accounts and sharing one. How can we make this work?You may use the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, but using different iCloud Apple IDs is recommended.
If you use the same iCloud account on your iPhones it will sync all of your contacts, reminders, and notes automatically and it could be a pain. I don't know exactly how you would want to have the iCloud accounts set up on the Macs, because I don't know exactly how you use them. (I am assuming you share?). But you can do whatever you like, you can even keep the same iCloud accounts, etc but you may want to disable the syncing of certain items, because reminders for ones phone popping up on the others automatically would probably get annoying, but that is just me. -
How do i make icloud work if my husband and I share the same itunes account but we dont want to get each others contacts, messages, apps etc?
Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account. -
My husband and i use the same appleid
my husband and i use the same appleid but now when he gets an imessage on his ipad i also get it on my iphone. Do I need to create a new apple id with my own email address
Ah sorry for the late response. I had connection problems.
Well, It's Pretty Obvious that you'll have that problem. You're using the same apple ID, afterall!
Because you're both logged into the same ID, you'd both get the message. Why, because they can easily detect him on the Ipad by his fingerprints and ONLY have him getting the message? no. You're both logged into the same Apple ID lol.
You'll have to make another apple ID. you could use Icloud to connect them togeather, too. And not get those emails. -
My brother and I have been using the same iTunes account. We now want to have our own separate accounts.Can we still keep the apps we have on our own devices?
Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac" maybe thats why nobody answered you.
It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well. I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours, I dont know.......

I bought my iPad from a friend and updated to iOS 7.1. Now in order to activate it I need to sign in using the original iTunes account but I can't contact the owner. Is there a way to get past this or should I toss my iPad into the garbage?
Ask previous owner to remove his device from account

How do I get my ringtones back on my phone?
I lost my ringtones from my phone when I upgraded to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4. The ringtones are still on my computer and play in iTunes, but they won't re-transfer back to the phone. I'm using the correct iTunes account on both my computer and phone. In the iPhone view of iTunes on my computer, it shows that my phone recognizes that I had those ringtones, but there is an exclamation mark showing that my phone can't find the files. I can't delete these "placeholders" from my phone with the hopes of re-transfering the files back to the phone, either. I cannot just simply re-transfer the files from my computer back to the phone. It won't let me using the regular synch options and I can't find anything in the menus of iTunes to help me out either.
Any advice would be much appreciated.Ignore. I figured it out:)

I have downloaded an album from itunes, and one or two of the songs play in full but most of them stop mid song, even though it said 'download complete'. How do I fix this?
I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)
