Ok... So can you have two seperate itunes accounts on the same computer?

My dad is getting an ipod for christmas... and well I don't want him on iTunes draining all of my money. Is there a way that you can have two seperate accounts on one computer?

Yes. If you want separate iTunes accounts, the easiest way is to set up 2 users on the computer, each with their own iTunes library.
If the two phones share the same iTunes account this is not necessary.

  • Can you have two different itunes account on the same computer

    how can you have 2 different itunes accounts on the same computer?

    You would need two seperate users on the computer. Then each library would be independent of each other. Or do you mean two seperate iTunes store accounts?

    Can I have 2 seperate itunes accounts on the same computer?

    Yes. If you mean Apple IDs, log in and out as needed. If you mean iTunes libraries, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose or create one, or use separate Windows user accounts.

  • HT2542 Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?

    I am wanting to download music to my Thunderbolt smart phone (i know, no iphone yet, next upgrade) and I want to use itunes to do it. My partner has an itunes account and I thought I opened my own itunes account, but apparently I didn't. I don't like the same music and only want to download music I like to my phone. Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?

    I'm confused

    Do you want one or two?
    By the way, and iTunes account is really the thing you use online to purchase music, not what you have on a computer.  You have user accounts on a computer, and you have iTunes libraries or collections of media.  You can have multiple user accounts on a computer.  You can have a single or multiple user accounts use a single or multiple libraries.  We need to know exactly what it is you have/want.

  • Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same mac?

    Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same account? I am having trouble accessing mine from my sons.

    Yes you can.
    The fact you cannot access your son's library from your User account is intentional. User accounts on your Mac are nearly as separate from each other as your Macs are from anyone else's on the planet. To copy music from his account to yours, first copy it to the Shared folder, then log into your account and import the music. Then, you can erase it from Shared.
    The Shared folder exists at /Users/Shared.

  • Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

    Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer? My kids iPods are under my account now with all of our shared music but they want their own iTunes accounts. I would like to transfer the music and apps that they purchased under my account to their new accounts... Is this posible?

    Did you enable the display of system files and hidden files and folders?
    by the way, how can i stop this from happening another time.
    Make a backup!
    i had music there for over 6 years.
    Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.

  • Can I have two separate iTunes account on the same pad?

    My husband and I have two separate iTunes account. He has a iPad (his iTunes/icloud login) that I would like to be able to download movies on from our family account (my iTunes) but keep his iCloud messaging, etc intact on his iPad. Is this possible?

    No, you can only be signed into a single iTunes account at a time.  And once you download a previous purchase from and iTunes ID you can't switch to another ID to download previous purchases for 90 days.  However, you don't have to use the same ID for iMessage that you do for iTunes.  You can create a new ID to use for iMessage, FaceTime, etc., then go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (and Settings>FaceTime), tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.  Using different IDs for will keep you from getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

    I'm going to give my old iPad to my granddaughter, I want to create an account for her, but I want to do it on my computer so there are no worries about who is spending credits for that account. Don't know how this will work, or if its possible to two iTunes libraries.
    Okay.
    She's going to use your computer to sync with iTunes.
    Create an new computer login on your computer for her. This will keep her stuff separate and she won't be able to mess with any of your info.
    Log into her computer account.
    Launch iTunes.
    Create a new iTunes account for her. See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
    You can enter a credit card to create the account then delete the CC info. Or you can use an iTunes gift card and she can fund the account with gift cards instead of using a CC to make purchases. This is an easy way to control spending.
    on the iPad, go to Settings > iMessage > Off.
    Then Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content & settings.
    Once it finishes, plug in the iPad, select it in iTunes and this will set it up as a new device. Enter all your granddaughter's info.
    When she wants to sync her iPad or use iTunes, she needs to log into your computer with her account.
    Then the iTunes library she uses will be only hers.

  • Can you have two existing iTunes accounts?

    Can you have two existing iTunes accounts?

    I'm not sure what you mean since there is no such thing as an iTunes account.  There's
    1) AppleID account you use to log into the iTunes Store
    2) A collection of media tracks which is what you see when you open the iTunes application on a computer and is called a library.
    Yes, you can have multiple of either.  It doesn't make sense for most people to have more than one AppleID, and definite disadvantages.  You can have multiple libraries.  Hold down the option key while starting iTunes to create a new one or swap between them.
