Can I create a new itunes account and synch my iPod to it?

I have an iTunes account, but have only bought music and apps on it for my son's iPod Touch.
Now I have my own iPod Touch and we want to have separate accounts. I already synched my new iPod to my own account - the one where all his music is.
What can I do at this point to let my son have his own account with all the music/apps he has purchased?
Can I create a new account and synch my iPod to that? Can I change the email address on the first account to my son's email?

Yes but you will need to authorize your computer for purchases on the old iTunes account.

  • How can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my apps?

    I'm sharing an iCloud and iTunes account and want to have my own. Can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my contact list? If I keep the existing iTunes account with the new iCloud acct, can I reload my apps without purchasing them again? I understand I can create a new iTunes acct afterwards.

    OK, so you can create a separate Apple ID for yourself that you use for your Messages, iCloud, Mail, FaceTime, etc. and keep the one that you have your Apps on as your iTunes "Family" Account.
    Before you set up your new Apple ID, be sure to delete your iCloud account from your device: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the account. Save your Contacts on your phone so you can merge them with your new iCloud account. Your notes, and Photos will still be on your old iCloud account, but if you want to keep any of your photos on your new iCloud account, it would be a good idea to import all of your photos to your computer first, so you can selectively download them to your device. (Note: only your Photo Stream will go away when you delete your iCloud account. Your Camera Roll will stay in place. It's just a good idea to back up that Camera Roll to a computer or to your new iCloud account immediately once you have set it up.
    You then would set up a brand new Apple ID for you under Manage your Apple ID: Apple - My Apple ID
    Once you get it set up, go into your devices and sign off the following:
    Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, click on your "Family" Apple ID and Sign Out
    Settings>Facetime, click on your Apple ID and sign out
    You will leave your "Familiy" Apple/iTunes ID signed on on the iTunes & App Store, becasuse you willl continue to share your iTunes account with the family. Here is a little more info about using two Apple IDs:
    Using your Apple ID for Apple services
    Once you have your new ID set up, go back into Messages and FaceTime and sign back in with your new ID
    Also, go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your new ID, and be sure to "Merge" your contacts into your new iCloud account.
    Post back with any questions!

    Can I creat an new iCloud account and make it the primary one for my backups and buy extra iCloud storage for it?  Thank you

    Hey Hindfromlondon,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.  Since you are posting here, I take it you already have an Apple ID.  
    You can setup that Apple ID to work with iCloud.  See:
    Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
    And you usually want to stick with one Apple ID as having multiples can cause confusion (especially with purchases).
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
    What is an Apple ID?
    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
    For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.
    and further down:
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. 
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    Regarding iCloud storage check out
    iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades - Apple Support
    I encourage you to read all about it as there's lots of information out there.
    Take care,

    This should help you out after  you have created the new user account. You are trying to make it much more complex than it needs to be. Just follow the directions in:

  • I am trying to create a new itunes account and on the terms and conditions page the Agree button is permanently grey even when i have ticked the check box any ideas

    On my Macbook Pro running Lion - trying to create a new ITunes account and the Agree button on the Terms and condition page will not come active even after checking the box any ideas

    There isn't a way - at least not that I have found.  I'm having an issue with this as well - seems like a shoddy sort of business practice.  I refuse to enter my credit card number to download a FREE app.  I'm encouraging the user community that has a problem with this to please post your opinion as well.  I know this is a use community, but I have to think that Apple will take notice when an issue gets a lot of attention.  Apple needs to hear your voice.

  • I have multiple apple phones on one account  can i create a new iTunes account for other iphone

    I have multiple iphones on one billing account as well as itunes.  Can I create a separate itunes account for other iphone?

    You don't need to create two separate libraries.
    If you want to sync different content onto each device, select the device in iTunes, select the tabs across the top and sync what you want.
    To make it easier, create different playlists for each device and sync only those playlists.

  • Can I create a new itunes account for my kids and still keep old music on both?

    You can usehHome Sharing so the music will be accessable on their computers,  Their computer will have to be authorized for the iTunes account.  For more informations see:

  • I want to create a new apple account and switch my iPod Touch over to it. How can i do this without erasing all of the data?

    I have an iPod Touch (4th generation) and found i would like to switch it over to a new apple account. Is there anyway for this to happen without deleting any data?

    Yes, just go to Settings>App and iTunes store and sign out of existing ID and sing into the other.
    The Apple ID is also used in:
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>iCloud
    - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Note:
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Can I make a new itunes account for my daughters ipod but not clear out my itunes

    We only have one computer now and I want my daughter to be able to use and upload to her computer without affecting my itunes music, what do I need to do? and can this be done?

    Create two Windows User profile, one for you and one for your daughter so that each of you will maintain your own itunes library and iTunes account.  You already have yours in the computer, you just need to add a new user profile for your daughter.  Go to Control Panel/Users to add a user account (make sure it is Administrator account and not Standard account).

  • How to Create a New Admin Account and Change Original to Standard Account?

    I have a single user admin account that I set up when I got my PowerBook. Now I want to have two accounts with the new one being the admin account. This way I can leave most of the data files, email accounts, etc. with the old account and use the new one for personal data and admininistration. Then I could give out the password for the original account without fear that a user could change permissions and get access to the new account with the personal data. Can I create a new admin account and then change the original account to "Standard" instead of "admin"? What problems will this create?
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    i2:
    Not sure if you are asking if or how. Templeton has
    answered if. Here's how.
    Apple Menu > System Prefs > Accounts. Click on the +
    under User Options to create new account. Go to
    Security and check box at bottom to make account
    admin. You can take care of the other items, picture
    etc, login options etc.
    To make the other account Standard select the
    account, go to Security and deselect box "Allow User
    to Administer".
    Hope this answers your questions.
    Good luck.
