  • Can you have two separate itunes accounts on one pc

    I currently have my own itunes account on a Dell laptop that we want to get rid of and will be using another Dell laptop that already has another itunes account on it.  Can there be two accounts on one laptop. If yes, how.

    Yes, by using separate Windows user accounts, or if you mean iTunes libraries, starting iTunes with the Shift key held down as needed.

  • HT1420 I want to sell my Mac computer and transfer my itunes to another computer that already has a itunes library. Can I have two separate itunes accounts on one computer?

    Also I was wondering how do I clear my computer of all the items like back to factory settings?

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new or different iTunes library, it will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Can I have two separate iTunes accounts on the same computer?

    Can I have two separate iTunes accounts on the same computer?  My wife's music is much different than mine.  Can we have different iTunes libraries to work with on the same computer?

    Yes. Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down as needed, or use separate Windows user accounts on the computer.

  • HT2542 Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?

    I am wanting to download music to my Thunderbolt smart phone (i know, no iphone yet, next upgrade) and I want to use itunes to do it. My partner has an itunes account and I thought I opened my own itunes account, but apparently I didn't. I don't like the same music and only want to download music I like to my phone. Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?

    I'm confused

    Do you want one or two?
    By the way, and iTunes account is really the thing you use online to purchase music, not what you have on a computer.  You have user accounts on a computer, and you have iTunes libraries or collections of media.  You can have multiple user accounts on a computer.  You can have a single or multiple user accounts use a single or multiple libraries.  We need to know exactly what it is you have/want.

  • Hi, Can anyone tell me if you can have two separate itunes accounts on one laptop?

    Hi, Can anyone tell me if you can have two separate itunes accounts on one laptop? If so can you please let me know how I set this up. I already have my itunes account loaded on and have another on a separate hardrive that I want to be able to use on the same laptop. many thanks.

    Are you meaning 2 different accounts or 2 different libraries?
    Launch iTunes with the 'Option' key held down and follow the dialog as to which library you want to open.

  • HT1660 How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device without erasing either set of data?

    How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device (iPhone 4) without erasing either set of data when syncing with itunes?

    Hi,
    Depends on what you trying to setup but for purchases, you can roll down at the very end of the iTunes/AppStore pages to logout of your current account and then login into a different one.  Then your purchase will be billded to this new account.  Everything will sync as you used to but in order to use the purchased content in iTunes or other devices, you will need to authorize them (you can have up to 5 devices authorized for an account).

  • HT204053 can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?

    can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?

    You can have only one iCloud "user configuration" per local user on the Mac. Who the local user belongs to doesn't mind. Since it's a local user it's not related with who actually uses it. So let's say you want to set up Photo streaming using your iCloud user, just configure iCloud (under System Preferences) the same way you did on your phone and you're done.
    But, beware: if you're only interested in synching photos, uncheck everything else when configuring iCloud on the Mac, otherwise you will merge, for example, your husband contacts, calendar and mail with those on your phone.
    If you want to avoid any problems you can easily create another local user on the Mac with your name, under System Preferences, System, Users & Groups. After you create the user, logoff. The Mac will ask if you want to disable autologin (since there's more than one user that can log in now), answer yes and you will be presented with a logon screen. Click on your account name, insert the password and configure iCloud to sync with your phone.

  • Can I have two separate iTunes account on the same pad?

    My husband and I have two separate iTunes account. He has a iPad (his iTunes/icloud login) that I would like to be able to download movies on from our family account (my iTunes) but keep his iCloud messaging, etc intact on his iPad. Is this possible?

    No, you can only be signed into a single iTunes account at a time.  And once you download a previous purchase from and iTunes ID you can't switch to another ID to download previous purchases for 90 days.  However, you don't have to use the same ID for iMessage that you do for iTunes.  You can create a new ID to use for iMessage, FaceTime, etc., then go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (and Settings>FaceTime), tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.  Using different IDs for will keep you from getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

  • Can you have two separate iTunes files on one computer?

    I gave my daughters each an old iPOD. One is 20 GB and the other is 60 GB. I take an iBOOK laptop with me when I visit so I can update them. In the past, they shared the 20 GB iPOD only. Now I have a problem as one iPOD can store a lot more than the other. Is there any way to have two separate iTUNES files on one iBOOK computer, one with the songs for the 20 GB iPOD, and the other for the 60 GB iPOD?

    The problem with making separate accounts is that this is a laptop, so likely not a huge hard drive, and if the three iTunes libraries need to have a lot of the same music (because everyone or two or three like some of the same stuff) you end up with double or triplicate copies of the music on the hard drive eating up drive space. Since they don't use his laptop normally, creating more accounts (with all the associated files and drive space usage each account would eat up) it probably isn't worth it.
    Instead, the best approach is like Chris said, to make playlists for the girls in the main library and then set up the various iPod to either sync everything (if big enough) or sync only specific playlists (if not big enough).
    Alternatively, they can set their iPods to manual syncing and then when Dad is visiting they can hook up their iPods and "shop" the library and drag in whatever they want to add to the iPods and delete what they no longer want.

  • Can I have two separate iTunes accounts on my first gen apple tv?

    When I buy a movie on the apple tv, it sometimes doesn't download, and i hear from my daughters in another state that its downloaded there. To avoid paying for something that i didn't get, i would like to create a separate account for the apple tv use, so i can have movies I buy on that, and my daughters can buy their music on my first account.
    I would still like to have my original iTunes account authorized on the apple tv - is it possible for me to have two iTunes accounts authorized on the Apple TV?
    thanks in advance 

    For a few reasons I prefer to refer to these libraries as primary and secondary libraries.
    A primary library is a library that can sync content to the Apple TVs hard drive as well as stream content to it. The advantage of this is that you are able to turn off your computer and still watch the content on the Apple TV's hard drive.
    The primary library will also let the Apple TV transfer any content you purchase on the Apple TV back to the iTunes library on the computer for safe keeping.
    Unfortunately you can only have one primary library.
    A secondary library can only stream content to an Apple TV and obviously when that computer is turned off the content is no longer available. You can however connect up to 5 secondary libraries to an Apple TV in addition to a primary library.
    There's a little more about seeing which type of library you have and how to set up each on this page.
    In your case the primary library would be your new library since you want to keep content you purchase on the Apple TV in it. Your older library would need to be a secondary library.
    For the next part I'm assuming that you only have one computer. iTunes can work with more than one library, but you need to switch the libraries it works with and you can't use more than one at once. This wouldn't work very well for you, since you'd always need to ensure it was using the right library when you purchased from the Apple TV.
    There is another way though, and that is to create two user accounts on your computer and run a library in each, one as the primary and one as a secondary.
    If you have a mac you can have both user accounts running and the Apple TV will be able to see and use both.
    If you have a PC the PC will only keep one user account active at a time, and the Apple TV will only be able to see and use that library. It's a little more awkward with a PC but not overly awkward. You'd need to keep switching users depending on which library you wanted to watch, but unlike switching libraries in a single user set up, the Apple TV wont transfer the purchases to the wrong library. Instead it will wait until until you have the correct user account active and then transfer the purchased content.
