  • Sharing between itunes accounts and computer/iphone

    My husband and I each have our own itunes accounts. I want to put some of his music (from his itunes library on the computer) into my iphone music library. We can't figure it out. Homesharing doesn't appear to be working and drag/drop doesn't work either.
    We both have the latest version of the software installed on our respective devices (iphone 4s has 5.1 and computer has 10.6.1.7)

    Many thanks.
    We will need to get his music into your iTunes in order to sync it to the phone. Your jump drive technique is a good way of doing it, but home sharing is also an option (assuming both computers are on the same wireless network).
    If some of the music you want to shift from him was bought from the iTunes Store, I'd set up the Home Share using the Apple ID that the music was bought with.
    See the following document for instructions on how to turn on Home Sharing on both computers:
    iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer
    Have iTunes open on both computers. On your computer, select his library in the iTunes source pane as per the following screenshot:
    You can pick and choose which items you want to copy across. (Select the items and then click Import down in the bottom right hand corner.) If you import a lot, the transfer is going to take a while.
    If you do things in several batches over an extended period of time, it might be easiest for you to have "Items not in my library" displaying in the Show menu rather than "All items". (That will cut down on the possibility of accidentally importing duplicates.)
    Once you've got the items in your library, you'll be able to sync them to your phone.

  • How can i unlink my iTunes Account and my IPhone.?

    i want to unlink my account.
    bcoz i registered my crediet card inf. to my account.
    and i dont want to buy app now.
    now i want to log off my account in my IPhone in case i buy some app.
    what should i do.?
    thanks very much.!

    You can't 'unlink' the iPhone from your iTunes account (unless you change the iTunes account you're logged into on the computer, then sync, but ion that case you won't be able to use the apps you have already bought).
    You can remove the credit card from the account in iTunes > Store menu > View My Account > Edit Payment Information and setting the credit card area to None (I think this option will be available). Alternatively, on the iPhone you can select Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions and set Installing Apps to OFF.

  • 2 Itunes accounts and one iphone

    Somehow i managed to have 2 itunes accounts, one with my user name (example: XXXXX) and then another one that is my username but with my email address (Example: [email protected]) attached to it. I purchased songs on one account from computer but now i can not transfer the purchases to my i phone 4. If it helps my i phone 4 is linked to just the username account not the one with the email address. How can i transfer these purchases and is there anyway to link these accounts?

    You can only use one account on your device. Contact the iTunes Store and see if they can do something about it, but the official version is:
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to consolidate them into a single Apple ID?
    At this time, Apple IDs cannot be consolidated.

  • I have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

    i have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

    i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
    then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
    hence why i have 3 now
    hard to believe you cannot combine into one
    oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3
    thanks

  • How do I stop iMessages from showing up on both of my iPhones without having to have two seperate iTunes accounts and still be able to use iMessage between these same two iPhones.

    My wife and I have iPhones.  We share an iTunes account and we want to keep it that way.  My iMessages began showing up on her iPhone and vise versa.  I figured out to go to settings, messages and have only the send/receive checked for our individual phone numbers.  When we do that however, we no longer can send iMessages to each other and it goes over SMS.  I don't want that.  I want to be able to send and receive iMessages with my wife without having to have a seperate iTunes account and without each other seeing each others iMessages to other iMessage users.  How do I do this?

    One of you needs to set up a separate Apple ID for iMessaging purposes only.

  • My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop?

    My nephew and I use the same iTunes account and when I add an app it is loaded on to his iPhone and vice versa... How do I make that stop? I have already unchecked the "Auto Update Apps" button. It happens with all purchases in the app store and on iTunes. HELP!

    I also think separate accounts is the way to go....if he is over 13yrs also remember if you do make an account for him and use your bank card all purchases will be charged to your card.

  • Managing 2 iPhones with iTunes and one iTunes account and computer...

    Hello All!
    I already have a 16GB 3G iPhone and we're going to be getting another 3G for my wife (whether it is 8GB or 16GB is still to be decided). On my phone, I have about 13GB used, with the primary source being music. We intend the same iTunes account and there are no other devices using authorizations on this account.
    *First, does Apple's licensing of applications allow the second phone using the same iTunes account to download all of the previously purchased applications for free?* In other words, will she be able to download any applications I purchased for free since I have unlimimted free downloads on my phone?
    Second, and most importantly, I am wondering how iTunes manages two different iPhones on one computer. This will especially be an issue if she gets an 8GB iPhone since everything that is on my phone will not fit on an 8GB model. She doesn't want or need all of my music, so we could very easily not transfer all of the music. But, I'm just wondering how they will co-exist if they are different sizes and her phone might keep running out of room. If the iTunes software doesn't handle this situation well, we may buy a 16GB model just to make our lives easier. *If someone could provide me with information on how the iTunes software handles multiple phones (especially if they are of different capacities) or links to other websites with information on this topic I would really appreciate it.*
    We need to make our purchase in the next month, so I want to know what we are getting into if she decides to get an 8GB model with me having a 16GB one. I just don't want to have a management nightmare. I'd appreciate any help in advance. Thanks!
    Jim

    I currently have 2 iphones, 1 is a 2G 8GB, the other is a 3G 16GB. I use smart playlists on the 16GB and only sync those playlists. The 8G is set up to manually manage music per my sons request. It would be just as easy to have a playlist set up for him and have it sync only that playlist. So yes, you can absolutely have both on one computer. As far as applications, as long as you are syncing to the same computer/same account, it will allow you to place the app's on both machines. I don't know what the legality of that is, however.

    i just got the iphone 4 and my husband already had on. we share an itunes account and i signed up for i cloud and now ALL  of my husbands contacts are on my phone ... so I started to delete them (because i thought it would just be off my phone) and he called screaming ..." please stop deleting ...  they are coming off my phone!" so two things ...  how can i get the contacts back ( i got up to j) AND is there a way to get them off just my phone

    Unfortunately there's no way to get back the contacts you deleted unless he backed them up somewhere else.  He'll just have to recreate them.  This happened because you are both syncing contacts with a shared iCloud account.  When you do this, the synced data is merged and any actions you take on one phone (such as deleting contacts) is also reflected on the other.  To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).  To do this, on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The other phone will not be effected by this.)  Next, set up a new iCloud account on your phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload your data to your new account.  At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
    You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting the your husband's contacts from your account, and vice versa).  These changes will be reflected on each phone.  When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.

    Yes. Use the option to sync with selected playlists on the music tab when your devices are connected.

    Go to the Music section of your Library (very top-left corner) and see if your songs are there. The "Purchased" playlist may have been deleted or gotten corrupted, but if that happens it's not a big deal because your music should still be in your main Music Library.
    If your music is NOT in the Music section of your Library, then go to the iTunes Store homepage and find the Quick Links list on the right side. At the top of that list, click Purchased and you can redownload all of your previous content that you might have lost.
