Add second account with different apple ID to match

Hi All
I am the main household user and have a large libary of tracks that also synronise with a home server and contant is pulled onto windows media centre.
(before anyone asks about changing to apple tv, i would if it supported live tv from a freeview tuner)
Anyway my wife is now the proud owner of both a ipad and my old iphone
Now the questions start as she wants access to music
I would like to keep her away from a pc (itunes) just to manage tracks
1. As it slightly combersum to manage two libaries using 1 pool of data from the server
2. Manage 2 pools of data and 2 libaries so to avoid she will delete or modify something and keeping these pools in sync
I thought that the answer would be to upload everythig to match and then she would be stream everthing in the libary or download selected tracks when she is away from wifi. I have now done this and all my content is on match
She is a new user, so she has a different apple ID to my own
I read a bit and now totally confused with the method to allow this
We share bank accounts so i not worried that she will use my id or something like that
Do i just have to replace her apple id in the icloud setting on ios device to mine or is there more to do?
She has almost no paid for content so i dont care about losing a few tracks she has purchased
I slightly worried as i keep hearing about the 90 day lockout if you change id again
Thanks and if someone can post some idiot proof guidlines i woujld be grateful

Hi plonk
Thanks for the reply
Not really. Our music selections is ours not locked to the individual. I should be able to share my music like home sharing locked to my house. This would mean I would have to buy tracks more ore than once.
I could share my tracks if I connected to my iTunes account with a pc but don't due to the above.
So if my two children grow up they have to also buy the same track?
I could understand the music companies wanting this but it's never going to happen in a million years
Did I just blow £25 on something that sort of works but not really
I could understand if I gave my id to a friend but would you give your id when they could purchase a ton of stuff on your account. Flawed logic is this is really the case.
As I said before I don't really want to just try what happens as I be locked out for 90 days swapping back
Mail is not on in cloud but others things like contacts etc are
Anyone?
Am I the only one asking for this?

Apple has no provisions for this. You cannot merge multiple Apple ID's into one ID. Content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

Can i use 2 ipad's on the same itunes account with different apple accounts?

Both me and partner have an ipad 4. Though we only have one computer, can we use the same itunes but with different apple acount without any issues? We use some of the same apps, but my partner plays fx Baldus Gate and is worries that save files will be corrupted.

Each iPad should be linked to its owner's personal, private and nonshared AppleID. In the Mac, each one should have a different login account so each has their own iTunes Library containing your iPad's details. When you use iTunes on the Mac, since each logs in with a different login and corresponding Home directory, iTunes picks up the correct AppleID.

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

HT204498 I have 2 apple store accounts and this has resulted in 2 iTunes accounts with different TV show purchases. How can I get both on my AppleTV?

I have 2 apple store accounts and this has resulted in 2 iTunes accounts with different TV show purchases. How can I get both on my AppleTV? It was suggested I sign out of the current active AppleTV account and sign in with the other. I can find no way to do this. Also, I have been advised by Apple that I cannot consolidate the two accounts.

I am certain you are doing backups of your TV shows on your computer in iTunes?! If not, do so. You should also make sure that you backup both accounts. Now, for your problem, you could combine the backups to one location then use your computer function on your Apple TV to watch all of your TV shows in one place. The only other way to watch both accounts is to actually go into account settings on your Apple TV and change the account info to the account you want to watch the TV shows in that account. Sounds awful, probably is.

Is there anyway to share music with different apple accounts??

Is there anyway possible to share music with different apple acounts??

Yes. If you are on the same network, go to Edit > Preferences > Sharing, and click "Share Entire Library."

Multiple iCloud accounts with one Apple ID?

We have 4 iOS devices in our household (2 iPhones, 2 iPads). We share the same Apple ID. Can we have more than 1 iCloud account with one Apple ID?
We do not want to share our Calendars and Reminders.
Thanks!

Set up your mac.com account again on devices. Turn off Mail and other data syncing with this account on your wife's devices for data that you want to keep separate. Then set up a second ("secondary") iCloud account on your wife's devices to sync Mail.
If you already set up a separate iCloud account on your wife's devices, on her devices go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in your your mac.com ID. Turn on the data you want to share with this account across all devices; don't turn Mail on. Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter her separate iCloud credentials and turn Mail to On.
The only downside to this approach is that her email will be fetch, not push email. Push email is only supported in the main ("primary") account, not a secondary account.
The limitations to be aware of with secondary accounts are that only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My Device. Also, push mail only works for the primary account; secondary account mail is fetch.

Syncing 2 iPhones with different Apple ID's on 1 Mac

Hi,
I want to sync two iPhones 4 with different Apple ID's on one Mac. I want to do this by creating a second iTunes library.
The second iPhone which I want to sync, has already been synced to another pc. I know that when I do this, all music on the iPhone will be erased. That's ok with me. I would like to know what other data on the iPhone will then be erased:
- Will I be able to transfer the photo's to my new Mac?
- Will I be able to keep all my contacts?
- Same for all the installed apps? When I authorise my Mac for the Apple ID which is used with the second iPhone, will I then be able to re-download all my apps to my Mac?
- What about my settings on the second iPhone?
- Will the e-mail accounts be deleted?
Thanks in advance for any answers
Erwin

Syncing to a new iTunes library will wipe the phone and replace it with media from the new iTunes library. However, if you carefully follow wjosten's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/13356770#13356770 you can migrate to the new computer without losing everything. (You'll still lose any music and other media not in the new library but you will retain your messages, settings and apps. Your contacts and calendar will be merged Address Book and iCal on the new computer, however.) I would suggest that as a safety precaution you use the free app My Contacts Backup to backup your contacts. This backup is attached to an email that you send to your self, and can be used to re-import your contacts if anything goes wrong.

ITunes sharing among iPhones with different Apple ID's one computer WITHOUT home sharing, shared folder, etc...

I feel like I am losing my mind, here. A few things I want to clear up before you read my question:
No, I am not new to Apple. Yes, I understand that Home Sharing works for any group of devices authrized with my Apple ID. Home Sharing is not my issue.
1. My wife and I have different iPhones with different Apple IDs.
2. We only have one computer, on which iTunes is running under my Apple ID.
3. My iTunes library is far too large to paste into a shared folder. I keep my source folder on a 1TB external hard drive (not enough space on my iMac).
I just want her to be able to plug in and copy music onto her phone from iTunes. Home sharing is great while she's at home on the wifi, but not when she leaves. I created her own user name on my computer, set her iTunes (under her Apple ID) to pull from my library source file, and she can play everything fine, except that she cannot click and drag files onto her phone.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

iTunes Match is associated with one, and only one, iTunes Store Apple ID and country-specific store. The service cannot be shared between Apple IDs.

If we sign up for iTunes with the one account with the majority of the songs, is Home Sharing no longer available to the other two accounts?
Of course it is. iTunes Match has no affect on Home Sharing.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
A. What happens to the songs on the other two libraries? Can we never use them?
It is possible to consolidate the tracks from the other iTunes libraries into one and use that for iTunes Match. Make sure the one computer that hosts the library is authorized to play any protected content.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
C. If we purchase songs/albums while in iTunes Match, and then decide not to use Match in the future, do we lose all our music?
Of course not. Any purchases go to the purchase history for the Apple ID that bought them and as long as the tracks are downloaded and backedup you'll have them as long as you maintain them. Keep in mind that iTunes Match is a service; you don't do anything "in" iTunes Match. It simply "is" in the background.

D. If we associate our child's iTouch, will it still keep the parental controls in place so it won't play certain songs that are not appropriate f
Yes, parental controls should continue to work as they have. Although I do not use them, perhaps someone else with experience will weigh in.

Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

Can I use more than one iTunes account with my apple TV?

That depends what you mean. If you mean can you purchase from more than one iTunes account on the Apple TV, then the answer is no. If you mean can you stream from more than one iTunes library, which use different accounts, then the answer is yes, so long as they both use the same ID and password for homesharing.

Is it possible to have 2 icloud (from 2 different iphones with different apple ids) on the same computer?

I am inquiring as to if you can 2 different icloud accounts (that come from 2 different iphones with different apple ids) on the same computer. I would like both iphones to be able to back up to the same computer since we have different accounts/pictures/mail etc.

Yes, if you create 2 seperate user accounts.

How do i add another account to my apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you mean another computer. Set up homesharing on the second computer using the same ID and password that you used for the first computer.

How to use iTunes with 2 iPhones with different apple id's

I have 2 iPhone 4s with different apple Ida's and when I connect thru USB the second iPhone installs the apps from the first iPhone.
I want each iPhone to back up only with is on the iPhone.

iTunes only backs up what is on the iPhone. You mean it installs all apps on both devices.
Select the tabs across the top and select what you want to sync to each device.

HT5622 Why I can't activate my Iphone, which is purchased second-hand, with my Apple ID?

I can't activate my Iphone, which is purchased second-hand, with my Apple ID. The owner has deleted his account and has reset the phone. What should I do?

What happens, exactly, when you try...the error message?

Add second account to lifelog, Google Fit integration.

It is possible to add second account to Livelog?Or maybe synchronize data between Sony mobile account and Google account. Reason: I am very interested in new google Fit application and I think that it can work with data from google account but not with data from Sony account. I already switched from Sony account to google but I lost older data stored in sony account.

I am also very interested in integration with Google Fit. Reason: Both Fit and Lifelog try to quantify my total calories spent. Fit misses out on lots of walking/running, because I don't always carry the phone on me. Lifelog misses out on other activities, e.g. strength training, which I add manually in Fit. Also, Lifelog does not have accurate weight registration nor weight history. I would love to use only Lifelog, but for now, it does not offer everything that Fit does. Waiting for updates!
