I shared my itunes account with my daughter for many years while she had only an ipod. She now has her own iphone with her own itunes account. Is it possible to transfer the purchases she made on my account over to her new itunes account?

No. Purchase always remain with the account they were purchased with.

Want separate i Cloud accounts/storage while sharing one iTunes account

My husband and I want to keep sharing our iTunes account for music, apps, podcasts, etc. But we want separate iCloud storage for notes, contacts, documents & data, Safari bookmarks, and so on. His iPhone and my iPod Touch and iPad mini are signed into his account, including his iCloud. I just set up a separate iCloud account for me on my iPod Touch using a different email address. But I cannot figure out how to sign out of his iCloud and into mine on my iPod and iPad.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes that will work, enter the iTunes Store details into itunes on the computer and into settings > Store on your iOS devices in all cases, enter your iCloud Sync ID into system preferences > iCloud on the computer and settings > iCloud on iOS devices as required for each iCloud ID.

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:

Is there a recovery way if the device did not have icloud but another device shared an itune account

Our daughter's ipod touch was stolen at school. We did not have icloud app on that device but our other daughter has
a matching ipod touch....both shared an itunes account. Is there anything that we can do to locate the stolen ipod? or
disable the stolen ipod?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ~ Pam

I don't think there is anything you can do unfortunately. Sorry.

TS4097 we have multiple users in our family and multiple devices all sharing one itunes account. i think we are all synced to one icloud account and it is a nightmare....contacts lost, text messags showing up on multiple devises etc. how do we fix this?

We have our family sharing one itunes account. we have 3 iphones, 2 macbook airs, 2 ipads and 1 mac. I am not sure how we even got started on the icloud but somehow we did and everything is a mess. The ipads are showing the text messages, the contacts are all combined, the apps that my duaghter downloads are appearing on all devices. how do we fix this so contacts are not shared, messages are not shared and apps are not automatically synced to all devises?

You have two different issues going on. You are getting each other's messages because you are sharing the Same Apple ID for iMessage. This can be corrected by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive on add the devices and doing one of the following:
Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on all of your devices; or
If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of your devices, on all of the other ones tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID (so all devices will be using a different Apple ID for iMessage). Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores. It does not need to be the same as the ID you are using for iMessage, FaceTime and other services.
The second issue is that you are sharing the same iCloud account on your devices. When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account. 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).
First decide which device(s) will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one(s) that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else that you want to keep on the device(s), save these to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this device, not from iCloud. The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On [iDevice]. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a separate Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. Repeat this process for all the devices that you need to migrate to new accounts.
When finished, to un-merge the data in your accounts you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting the other person's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

Our family originally shared an iTunes account... how can we separate it?

When iTunes first came out, I was the first one to get an iPod, so the iTunes account was under my email address, but my dad's name, credit card information, etc. The entire rest of my family used the account as well, on different computers. Right now, I would like to use my own iTunes account, and have them set up their own, so that everything is less confusing and mixed up. For example, my sister sometimes downloads songs and they randomly appear in my iTunes library, other people use my iTunes giftcards, and when I want to buy a song it charges to my father's credit card instead of mine. Even more confusing is that my mom's computer was deauthorized when my sister got her new laptop for college, even though she still has songs in her library.
We each have our own respective music in our own libraries, but it's still the same account. First, is it possible to consolidate everything, just so we know which songs we have purchased in totality? Second, is it possible to have the songs that my other family members have purchased go into their new accounts? I think you might be able to do it by burning CDs, but this would take forever...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and if my query wasn't completely clear questions as well. I would really like to figure this out before I go to college too!

Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 - "You can use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to factory settings and the latest version of iOS.

Multiple iPods on one Itunes account

I have had an iTunes account on my laptop for years, and have it currently hooked in withan iTouch.
My fiance just recently bought a new iPod, and I am wondering if I can hook her new iPod to my laptop w/ the iTunes account, and not ruin anything?
Also, she is about to buy a new laptop, so if she can put music on her new iPod from my iTunes account, when she puts her new iPod on the new laptop, will it wipe it off?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Make sure each iPod has a unque name and just connect the iPods to the computer one at a time. Check the apps and other items that you want synced to each iPod. Also see:

My husband and I had been sharing an iTunes account, which resulted in his apps and music being synced to my iPhone and mine to his. . . very annoying. So I created a new iTunes account, but now no devices show up in the sidebar so I can't sync my phone.

My husband and I had been sharing an iTunes account, which meant that when he synced his iPhone, all his apps and music appeared on mine as well, and vice versa. This was annoying, so I created my own account and have changed the Apple id on my phone. However, when I try to sync it on iTunes, no devices at all show up in the sidebar. What am I doing wrong?

Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings. Be sure to turn it off.
You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account. You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account. (have restrictions turned off) That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices. Then sign in using the new ID.

A family of 5, have new iphone 4s phones.Because we shared an itunes account previously, now when installing the new phones, it does not allow us to update to individual itunes accounts. How do we change the accounts for each phone installation?

A family of 5, have new iphone 4 s phones.
Because we shared the itunes account previously, on installation of the new devices, the computer does not recognise individual itunes accounts.
So all 5 devices are sharing the same itunes account!!!
How do we set up new accounts on each individual phone?

The iTunes stores in different countries are entirely separate. You can only use an iTunes store credit in the country in with it was created and purchased content cannot be shared across countries. Family sharing groups must be country-specific, using iTunes store credits for purchases only within that country, and sharing purchases that were made in that country. You can contact iTunes store support for more details on these restrictions here: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

I have been sharing my iTunes account with my kids...now they are getting older and want to have their own accounts, how do I share the songs I purchased for them on my account with them on their new accounts?

Is there a way to transer from my main account their new accounts? And can I share music from my account with them?

You can't currently transfer content from one account to another account. As long as the tracks are on the computer's iTunes that they use/sync to, and your account is authorised on that iTunes, then they should be able to continue to use them.

My dad and I shared an iTunes account for years and now I'm getting my own, how can I keep my music and apps?

My dad and I shared an iTunes account for years and now I'm getting my own, how can I keep my music and apps? I'm worried that I won't have any ability to access my apps and music. We have our itunes separated on different computers, so I have all of my stuff separated from his, but I don't know how to put them in my new account.

Well... there really isn't any fully legal way to do this.
The simplest solution is to continue sharing the same iTunes purchasing acct, but create different ones for iCloud (assuming that's why you needed to do the split).
Slightly less kosher: Burn AUDIO CD's, of the music then copy them back to your new account.
BE sure to do this from original acount, To keep the music info, you'll copy over the CDDB file (in prefs somewhere) - since this maintains the data of CDs that you've had in library.... (it isn't carried over onto a user created CD.)

How can i switch an ipod from my itunes account to my sisters?

i am giving my ipod to my sister but i don't know how to remove the ipod from my itunes account and add it to my sisters new itunes account

The easiest way to change the account you are using on your mobile device is to scroll down to the bottom of the iTunes Store or App Store on the device and tap the Apple ID button. Then:
- To sign out, or to sign in to a different account, tap the Sign Out button.
- To sign back in, tap the Sign In button, then tap either Use Existing Apple ID or Create New Apple ID, and follow the on-screen instructions from there.

HT5622 My family shared an itunes account and now i'm moving out and have created a new account just for myself. Is there a way to transfer my previous purchases on the other account to my new account?

My family shared an Itunes account and now i'm moving out and have created a new account solely for myself. Is there a way to transfer my previous purchases on the family account to my new account?

In order to continue to play and sync the music you purchased with your old account, you'll need to authorize your new computer/iTunes library to do so. You can do this by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer and then entering in your old account credentials.
That's all you should need to. Then just create your own account and start purchasing and using it the same you have with the old one.
