Pls can you help? Setting new itunes account, new laptop, same ipod, separating libraries

I have my 2 kids ipods set up as different libraries under my own account, which works fine, as up til now they did not have their own computers
but now one kid has their own laptop, I would like to get their own itunes account. and put their library on their laptop How do I do this please,
Ideally I would like to set up a new apple id, on their laptop, and then plug in their ipod nano and ipod touch, so that it is all there for them....without losing the music that is already on it.

Hi iamjulia91, I am experiencing a similar issue with iTunes 10 but so far have not found a fix or a post advising what further can be done to sync with latest library. Like yourself we have soooo many playlists, purchased music, podcasts, games etc that just cannot be sync'd. Sorry I'm of no use but I will keep an eye on your thread too in the hope that someone can stop me from pulling ALL oif my hair out

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 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?

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.

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.

Can you use two different iTunes accounts in Apple TV

My wife and I have our own iTunes accounts which we use on our separate iPhones, but on the same Macbook. Can we use these separate accounts on Apple TV. Not at the same time of course.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
How do you run your two separate accounts.
If they are part of the same library then you can access content from both iTunes accounts at the same time.
If they are different libraries in the same user account and you switch them then you can access content from whichever library is active at the time.
If you have two user accounts you can access both libraries at the same time providing both user accounts are running and iTunes is open in each (this option is mac only)

No, you can sync your DRM tracks to an unlimited number of iPods (but only authorized to play on 5 different computers/user accounts)

So I can sync two iPods to my iTunes account and sync the same digital copy movies that come with some o' my DVDs to both ipods? Do movies make a difference really, DRM-Wise? Thanks in advance.

Not without buying them from the new iTunes Store account.

Hi, can anyone tell me if I can have more than one iTunes account on the same PC. I've just bought my wife an iPad2 and want to create a separate account for her. Can I do that on the same PC as mine?

I would advise that you not set up a second Apple ID. It's really not necessary - having two Apple IDs won't affect how iTunes works with your iPads - and will just complicate matters. Each iPad will be treated independently and can be set to sync only the items you want on that particular iPad. If you really want to keep the two iPads separate, set up different iTunes libraries and have only those items you want on the related iPad in that library, rather than a different Apple ID. If you plan not to use a computer and just download directly to the iPads, you can again choose what apps and content each iPad gets.
But answering your specific question, you can have content from up to five iTunes Store accounts on any one computer or iPad. To create a new iTunes Store account, you'll need a different email address, and from there you just create the account the same way you did the first one.
Regards.

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.
