Can i set up a second itunes account on my laptop?

I have just managed to set up an account for my iphone, but would like to set up another on the same laptop for my husbands very old ipod and let's just say we don't share the same taste in music!
Thank you!

iTunes account - used to purchase items.
iTunes library - where you store all your media, including items purchased with an iTunes account.
If you are not already doing so, I suggest you simply create a new computer user account for you husband.
All the info will be his, including iTunes library, contacts, calendars, emails, documents, etc.
THen you each simply log in with your own computer ccount to see your own data.

I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes. Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?

A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Its wrong to assume that everyone has a backup copy.
are you PC or Mac?

I am a US resident but spend several months each year at my house in England. Is it possible for me to download UK iPad apps from the iTunes Store? Right now they seem to be restricted. Can I set up an alternate iTunes account using a UK credit card?

When you go to Starbucks, you'll need to first go to Settings on your iPad and choose Network. You'll see ATTWIFI as one of the available networks. When you click on that to select it, you should be immediately sent to AT&T's sign in page. You just need to check the box that says you agree to their terms and conditions and then hit the Connect button and you'll be online. One warning, however. If your Starbucks is anything like those in Manhattan, be prepared for really slow wifi. It can be a real pain waiting for pages to load sometimes.

HT1296 How do I set up a second iTunes account on my PC?

I am trying to set up a second iTunes account on my PC, but it asks me if I want to update or replace my current account. I do not want to do either of these, but rather, set up a second account. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it? Thank you.

If i have a work ipad with a work email and a shared icloud for all employees, can i set up a second itunes and icloud account with a separate email address on the same ipad for my personal stuff?

i am a teacher and my school has given all of us a ipad to use. it is set up with my school email and a shared itunues and icloud account. they have told us we can use it for anything that can be used for education purposes. i have downloaded books and other items that i have marked up for my use. however if there is ever a problem i cant identify my applications or books if other teachers have downloaded the same apps or books as well as my documents. is there a way to set up a 2nd itunes account and icloud account so that i may use that when backing up anything that would be personalized by me so that i can find what is rightfully mine. they are ok with it but were unsure how to do this, so can anyone help me? thanks

Sorry, you cannot use more than one iTunes account at a time.

Can I set up a second iTunes library if away from my first?

I started this post on MacBook Pro, but someone there thought I might get more specific answers here. He said 'yes', I could, by holding 'alt/option' key while clicking to open iTunes, and selecting 'new library'. But he warned I might lose everything on the iPad. Anyone here have experence with this to know what does happen?
Here is my original post:
I'm in France on a journey. I have an iPad with me, and want to download new books I buy off Amazon into my Kindle software on this iPad. When I tried to do this, I'm told it can't be done without having access to my iTunes library.
Unfortunately, my main iTunes library lives on an external hard drive back home in California. I loaded music onto an iPod so I wouldn't need it.
Is there a way I can set up a second iTunes library on this MacBook Pro I'm traveling with, which will allow me to download books without access to my main iTunes library?
Thanks so much for your help,
Karen

All the stuff on my current iPad will be stripped, null and void?
Not having an iPad I can't say for certain although when I connect any other iDevice (iPhones & iPods) to another iTunes Library I get a message similar to "Your device is connected to another iTunes Library…" with more stating to the effect that it will be erased and the contents of the current (which in this case empty) Library will replace whetever is on your device. At this point you have the option to Continue or Cancel.
So yes, you might end up with an empty iPad which is why I suggest you be extremely careful in reading what's on-screen.
It's one of the big big failings in iTunes where I need to carry around a 65GB library just so I can manage an iPhone.

Can I set up two different ITunes accounts on the same computer?

Is it possible to set up two separate ITunes accounts on one computer and yet share some of the same songs in the Library?

Yes create two users on that computer
One for each account, and then you will have 2 itunes libraries.
Control Panel, user accounts, add new account (give it admin rights).
Log off and then log in with the new account.
Make sure you log out and not switch accounts when moving between the two users.

Can I set up a second user account?

I used to have an iBook, and was able to set up separate accounts for myself and my wife. I now have a MacBook, and it does not seem I can set up two accounts, other than the guest account, which I don't think can save permanent functions. I want to set up a separate iTunes for my wife. How can I do that?

Add it in the Accounts pane of System Preferences, or launch iTunes with the Option key held down.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You cannot have an account in a store that is in a location that you do not reside in.

Can I set up a personal itunes account on my partners mac if he already has his own account on that computer?

Can I open my own iTunes account using my partners mac, if he already has an itunes account of his own?

Do you mean you want your own iTunes library on his computer?
Yes.
Easiest way is to create a new user login on the computer, then you will have your own content.
An iTunes account is setup in the iTunes store to make purchases. It's just like a credit card or bank account.

HT201320 Can I set up a second email account that I want to keep separate from the one set up for my iPad. Can I choose to send from the second account but not to receive onto my iPad, only on my computer?

can I set up 2 email accounts on my iPad - one from which to send and receive and one to send from only ?

YEs, you can have multiple E-Mail addresses. Just add the additional accounts through the Settings -> Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
If you also change the mail settings "Show To/CC Label" to ON you can change the sending E-Mail server. You can also set the default account in there also, one more section down in the same E-Mail Settings section.
