Can I have one account but have balances for two different iPods?

My son has an iPod and I have bought my daughter one for her birthday.  Can I have both on one apple id, but manage their iTunes gift cards seperately?

No. 
You may wish to consider having individual accounts for them, each with their own balance.  Purchases from each account can be copied to both libraries, and synced to either or both iPods.  But the balance will be separate.

  • I have one account, but use it as two for years.  One is home, one is work.  Recently we upgraded to Windows 7 at work and a new email system.  Now I can't download music at work; work tech support can't help but said to use my work email address. Failure

    Could it be a new work firewall associated with the upgrades?  How can I resolve this?

    I really don't know what this means.
    What do you mean "when I try to change the email on my itunes"?
    Where on itunes are you changing an e-mail?  and for what reason?
    Not sure at all what you are trying to do an it seems that you are confusing e-mail, itunes accoutns and libraries.
    Please explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish.

  • Can i load two different itunes on the same computer for two different ipods?

    Can I load two different itunes on my computer for two different ipods?  Or how can I get it so that when I click on itunes, only my songs come up and not my wifes?  And the same for her.

    Yes.  The simplest way is to have separate Windows accounts for each user.  When either user runs iTunes, he/she will have a separate library with distinct content, playlists, etc., and can sync individual iDevices as needed.

  • Two iTunes set up for two different iPods both with one library......

    Okay I have had an iPod mini for about two years I already have my library set up yada yada yada...
    Today my brother got an iPod Nano. I went through the setup process because I thought that you needed to have two seperate libraries if you had two seperate iPods, but after it had setup I realized that both of the iTunes accounts had my library on each....
    What do I do? Can he upload my music onto his Nano or yeah I am not sure...Thanks for all of your help.

    the music in a single library can be downloaded to two different ipods. (mauve and attractive beast both connect to the same library.)

  • Can signon with one account but not another one

    Been using iChat for years, the other day I installed both Adium and Fire but neither of them would signon my main AIM account but would signon my secondary AIM account. NOW, though, iChat refuses to signon my primary AIM account either! The only way to signon with that account is to use the AOL IM application, it signs on flawlessly. Password IS correctly entered, just the one AIM account won't authenticate.
    I deleted iChat prefs, ran Cocktail, turned off the firewall, still no joy.
    Ideas?

    Hi ClarkDV,
    In iChat prefernces > Accounts section
    Is the tick box to Allow Multiple logins of the account name actually ticked ?
    Do Adium and Fire have similar settings ?

  • Can I have books from two different accounts in the same library

    My wife has purchased a book on my iTunes account. We got a new iPad and want to know how she can have her book on her iPad.

    Based on my HAZY memory of a previous question like this, what you would need to do is...
    Log out of one Cloud account (MAY need to restart your computer, not sure of this... hazy memory) then log in to your OTHER Cloud account

    Is it possible that you are using the same password for the old O2 Study and newer O2 Apple Base Station networks?
    If so, Keychain Access is storing the old information about the old network and may be associating it with your AirPort Extreme settings based on the BSSID that William has mentioned.
    If that's the case, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access and look for a listing with the old network name. Delete this entry. You may need to power down both the computer and the AirPort Extreme and restart them.

    Not going to happen the way you want it to.
    When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
    Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

  • I am unable to update my apps... in my purchases page it appears as "update", then a message tells me to log on with the Apple ID I purchased the app with... Well I have tried my two different accounts and neither one will work, can someone help ??

    And is there any way to sync all my purchases and accounts to just have one... It is a bit stupid that you dont even get a list of something of what account you may of used, or some kind of hint, so you could log on to the right account. I am really stuck ...
    Please Advise......

    You can't merge accounts. But you can check your purchase history:

  • I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

    I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

    Both accounts are completely independent from each other. In order to use the space that you have purchased for your secondary account, you must change it to become your primary account. Yes, as you said, services like photo stream only work with the primary account. Unfortunately, there is no comfortable way to just transfer data from one account to another one, but you can do it via a third party application e.g. via Dropbox: e.g. for photos: photos stored with your current primary account > manual transfer to dropbox > after you made your secondary account to the primary account,  transfer the photos back to your new primary account etc.

  • Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

    Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
    I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
    Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
    I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.
    Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?
    Thanks!

    What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
    To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.
