Can I open a second iTunes account for my child, but use my email for both accounts?

I have one iTunes account, my ID is my email address. I want to open a second account for my daughter, but I want to see her iTunes Store receipts (sent to MY email address). When I try to set up a new account, it says that I need to enter my email address as my ID, and then says "You already have an account usint this ID). Can I create an account using the same email, or can I use an ID that's not an email address?

Welcome to the Apple community Pammy.
Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.

How can I open a second itunes account in another country?

If I want to buy itunes music and I'm in another country, can I open another account?

Yes - but - you will need a valid address and credit card from a card issuer in that country.

How to change email on IPOD Touch for Facetime. I used same email for Facetime on my Macbook Pro

How to change the Email on my IPOD touch for Facetime. I used the same email for my IPOD & my Macbook Pro. Do I need a different email for each device.

Yes, if you want to call one device from another each must have a unique email calling address. Go to Settings>FaceTime and add another email calling address and delete the other one after you set up the second one.
I learned that a long time ago when I tried to call my iPod from my Mac.

I would like to open a second iTunes account in another country, but still maintain my original Canadian account. I have read the advice regarding signing out of the original account,and then signing in and setting up a new account. but will I still be

I would like t open a second iTunes account for a different country, but still be able to access my original account. It was not clear inthe documentation I read on this subject if this was indeed possible - using the signing out/in, create new account procedure.

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

There is no reason to add a second iTunes account to the iPad unless your sons want to use their own credit cards for purchases and somehow I don't think is the case here.
Anyway.... Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap that ID and sign out. Then tap sign in and tap Create new Apple ID.
If your sons sync with one iTunes library on a computer, it can get a little confusing with two IDs. If either of them has their own iPod and they have been sharing purchased content with the one Apple ID, it gets a little more complicated as well with two IDs.

How can I open a second window in iTunes?

When I see some albums in the the iTunes Store I want to check whether I have some of the songs already. The Search function in the Store only refers to the store and not to my Library. So how can I open a second window in iTunes (one with the Store and one with my Library) to make it easier to compare?
Thanks

My understanding it that was removed from iTunes recently (I still run iTunes 7.5 from 2007), so no, not unless you downgrade iTunes (which is not easy). You can send feedback to Apple about reinstating it but I have yet to see Apple reinstate something that appeared to have been deliberately removed from its software, despite vociferous complaints on this forum.

HT204053 I have 2 Itunes accounts, one I don't use with money in the account, can I combine that money or account into the account I currently use?

You can access, usually under the Apple (icon) menu in the main desktop
window, note item with name "About this Mac" & click on that, to see more
information about your computer, its OS X version, and other. The system
version and build model are there. Do not post a serial number.
If you are setting up Mail in a Mavericks OS X 10.9.x system, there often
is access to information in the Help viewer from the main menu bar, or
in an open mail application. If you have a Gmail or other account, that
info is often on their home page where setup and help are located.
The settings of each email account may vary according to their provider;
so you would have to change your computer to accept them. An older
link to a general look at that issue, change IMAP to POP, is covered here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16770816#16770816
While that may not answer your question, you could use the info in
your Mac OS X system Help viewer and use its search; or maybe
a Spotlight search to see an answer online.
You have to learn some basic things in order to actually use these...
and it helps to expand that so you won't have to pay for tech service
on things you can do yourself in a few minutes, beyond easy stuff.
Of course, you're hearing this from a guy with no ISP email, ever.
So mine are web-mail only; & I never save email to a computer.
PS: If you have a new Mac with an AppleCare plan, you may be able
contact Support for help. Ask someone (for 90 days, or up to 3 years
if the Plan was extended) there at AppleCare, for their guidance.

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

You cannot do that. The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address. The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well). You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

I am trying to open up my iTunes onto our new computer but do not remember the answers to the securty questions. The e-mail verification is being sent to an outdated e-mail address. How can I fix this?

I am trying to open up my iTunes onto our new computer but do not remember my answers to the security questions. The e-mail verification is being sent to an outdate e-mail address I no longer have access to. I updated the e-mail address in my iTunes account but it will not send it to the updated e-mail. Is there any way I can fix this?

"You can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac"

Yesterday, Software Updater has installed something which required me to "close iTunes in order to complete the installation" - I can only assume it was an iTunes (or related) update?
Now when I try to open iTunes, a window appears, stating: "you can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac".
I have a Macbook (late 08) and am running 10.6.8
I'm conscientious about keeping my software & apps up to date, so it should only be something very recent & I assume fairly minor...
Any ideas??

To anyone else who may have experienced this problem (I doubt that I'd be the only one):
Over the past couple of days I have left my Macbook sitting idle for extended periods, put it to sleep, & also shut it down.
This morning I tried to reinstall the same download that didn't work a couple of days ago & it has been recognised, installed & seems to run just fine - playing right now I'm happy to say!
I suggest you try doing the same: ie. leave your machine sitting idle till it sleeps & shut it down, before you try the reinstall.

Can't open the application "iTunes" because it may be damaged or incomplete

Out of the blue today, iTunes showed up with a gray X over the icon in the dock, and when I try to open it, I am told, "You can't open the application "itunes" because it may be damaged or incomplete. I've looked around for ways to reinstall or repair itunes, but only come up with solutions for PC, but nothing for mac. Thank you!

Perhaps try updating to version 11.1.5.5, using a .dmg installer downloaded from the Apple Website:

I'm sorry, I do not fully understand your question. However if you are looking for the email address which you have used for your iTunes account, you can find this out by using the "get info" command on any items you have previously purchased from iTunes and navigating to the summary tab.

I am trying to open up my iTunes from my iMac. It says "You can't open the application iTunes because it is not supported on this type of Mac." What do I do? I've already force closed all other apps.

Well, obviously the problem isn't with the other apps, it's with the type of Mac you have. What type of Mac do you have?
