Can I have more than one user account on itunes?

My wife and I currently have a laptop each, and so I have my itunes account through my macbook and my wife has hers through her macbook.
We are looking at getting a Mac Mini, as my wife's macbook is on it's last legs, and we would like to have both itunes accounts on the new Mac to sync our phones/ipod/ipad with. Is this possible? I don't wish to pay for the music my wife buys, and she has no interest in paying for Apps i use etc. Would it be possible to run 2 itunes accounts through 1 itunes on 1 mac?

An iPod touch cannot be synched to more than one computer at a time. You can have content from more than one iTunes Store account, but that content either has to be collected onto a single computer for synching to the iPod, or downloaded directly from the iTunes Store.
Regards.

  • Can you have more than one user account on an Ipad

    can you have more than one account on the ipad.

    But...
    You CAN connect an iPad to multiple Apple ID's, one-at-a-time, if you're willing to share a combined pool of apps, music, movies, photos, podcasts, and perhaps, email accounts, and sync things manually.
    First, uncheck the option to 'automatically sync' mobile devices in the preferences for each iTunes account, so that you're not accidentally installing or removing content when you connect the iPad to a computer.
    Here's how we do it:
    I have a MacBook with two user accounts and two Apple ID's: "Hers"-used only for iTunes/iPad manual sync-ing and backup; and "Mine", used for all my Mac programs, plus iPad Apps that I'm interested in.
    The iPad2 is her only computing device, used primarily for email and web-browsing.
    On her iPad2, we have a combined 'pool' of apps, photos, and music.
    We use her Apple ID for her email, and to sync and back up.
    I use my Apple ID to download a lot of free apps to my MacBook.
    In the App Store, I sign out of her Apple ID and use my Apple ID to transfer and update the apps I want to try out. Then I can delete them from her iPad when I'm done 'playing', yet leave them on my MacBook for future re-installation, if desired.
    To simplify email privacy, we've configured the iPad Mail app exclusively for her MobileMe and Hotmail accounts. I connect to my email accounts with the Safari browser, or from my MacBook.
    Hope that helps!
    I'm not certain how iOS 5 and iCloud might enhance or restrict my ability to manage this in the future.

  • Can you have more than one user on the new ipad?

    Can you have more than one user on the new ipad?

    You cannot set up more than one user account on the iPad if that is what you mean.
    Obviously families will share an iPad, but they are really meant to be single user devices with one Apple ID only on the iPad. Multiple ID's on one iPad can become a bit of a hassle to deal with.
    There is no way to lock apps or email accounts so that can become an issue as well. If you use the built in mail app for email, whoever is using the iPad can read your email.

  • HT4859 Can I have more than one icloud account on the same pc I share with my spouse?

    Can I have more than one icloud account on the same pc that I share with my spouse?

    Yes, providing that you use seperate user accounts on the computer.

  • Can i have more than one icloud account on my apple id

    Can I have more than one icloiud account on one apple id

    No: but it costs nothing to create another Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with that. The only caveat is that you must associate a different email address with the new Apple ID from that with the old ID (since the address will itself become the ID) - you could open a free email address with Yahoo or Gmail.

  • Can I have more than one iCloud account?

    Can I have more than one iCloud account?

    One option is to start backing up one of them to your computer using iTunes instead.  To do this, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and turn off iCloud Backup.  After that the device will start automatically backing up to your computer when you sync it with iTunes.
    Another option is to migrate your iPad, along with a copy of the iCloud data to a different account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep on it to the camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep on your iPad, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes the account from your iPad, not from iCloud; your phone won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iPad and choose Keep on My iPad when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the account.  The disadvantage of this is that once your phone and iPad are on different accounts, they will no longer sync data with each other using iCloud.

  • Can I have more than one iCloud account on my iPad?

    Can I have more than one iCloud account on my iPad?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only have one primary account, you can add secondary accounts via settings > mail, contacts and calendars.
    Secondary accounts don't have all the features of primary accounts, such as Photostream.

  • Contacts & iCloud: can you have more than one iCloud account syncing with Contacts on the Mac?

    I want to set up a shared iCloud account for multiple users in a (very) small office environment, where several new iOS devices and, for the moment, two Macs (2012 13" MacBook Pro and 2013 Mac Mini) will be able to read/write to a shared Contacts account – and at the same time maintain a second, personal iCloud account linked to the same Contacts app on one machine, which account's contacts data will remain private and inaccessible to the other Macs/devices which are likewise using the shared account.
    Can this be done? (I.e., can Contacts app on a Mac include separate iCloud accounts?)
    If so, how to set it up?
    Thanks

    Thanks for your answer. There's no problem with others accessing that Mac – it's used by one person only – my question is can you add a second iCloud account to Contacts. Over the past two days I had tried to add the shared iCloud account to Contacts and kept getting failures. But maybe the server was down or the ISP was weird: your response assumes it can be done and so, to my embarrassment, I tried again just now and violá, it's done. Thanks again.
    P.S. Finding a simple presentation that makes clear you can have more than one iCloud accounts syncing to Contacts at the same time was very hard to find, either from Apple or others on the web. Maybe I don't know how to search, but they could do with a clear explanation of this for the uninitiated.

  • HT204053 can I have more than one iCloud account?

    I have a personal iCloud account, but would like to set up an iCloud account for my business that I can share between my associates. A tech at the appple store suggested it, but now I'm unsure if or how to do it. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes you can use more than one iCloud account, however you can only have one primary iCloud account.
    Secondary accounts can be added at system preferences >mail, contacts & calendars. Note, secondary accounts can only use mail, contacts, calendars and cannot utilise things like photo stream.

  • Can you have more than one user on an ipad

    I am thinking of purchasing an iPad to replace my laptop.  It would be shared with my husband - so, like a laptop, can you set up different users on an iPad, therefore allowing more than one e-mail account to be linked, different appleID's etc?  Thanks

    You can set up multiple email accounts on the iPad, however, and you can set up multiple emails for receiving Messages.
    Is that primarily what you were trying to accomplish? If so, then to set up a second account for Mail:
    Go to Settings>Mail, and click on the type of account you want to set up. Then follow the screens to input the User Name, email address, etc.
    To set up an additional email for receiving text messages:
    Go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive, and add the additional email you wish to include.
    For the messages setting, you would just need to remember that both of you would get all of the other's text messages....
    But Mail accounts would remain separate.
    Cheers,

  • HT2623 Can I have more than one iCloud account or change my iCloud account

    I don't like my iCloud email address. Can I change it or make another account?

    Your iCloud address is the same as the one you chose for me.com when originally setting up an account.
    You cannot change it but you can set up an email alias: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

  • HT2731 Can we have more than one Apple ID for iTunes on the same computer

    We have a family computer.  On this computer we have an iTunes account.  My son would like to set up his own iTunes account on the same computer.  Can this be done if he creates his own Apple ID and can we use the same credit card # to set up the account?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Of course. Just create a new user account for him, so he can have his content on another user without messing your data
