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.

    M Parker, 
    Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do.

  • How do I set up two different Itunes accounts on the same computer

    I have one PC laptop and my daughter and I both have IPhone 4's.  I want to sync both phones using the same computer but want totally different accounts so that I don't have her music, aps, etc and vice versa.  I've tried this many many times and can never seem to get it right.  If I sign out of my ITunes account and then plug her phone into my computer, it syncs my stuff onto her phone.  HELP!

    First thing you need to do is disable auto syncing in iTunes. This is from Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, etc.
    Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is set up separate log in accounts for the laptop. This will allow you to have iTunes in each log in and they can have different content. iTunes cannot have separate content with the same log in and different Apple ID, but you can manage two phones with the same iTunes account. See if any of the information in this support document will help you http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495 but the best solution is separate computer log in.

  • Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same mac?

    Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same account? I am having trouble accessing mine from my sons.

    Yes you can.
    The fact you cannot access your son's library from your User account is intentional. User accounts on your Mac are nearly as separate from each other as your Macs are from anyone else's on the planet. To copy music from his account to yours, first copy it to the Shared folder, then log into your account and import the music. Then, you can erase it from Shared.
    The Shared folder exists at /Users/Shared.

  • Can I connect two iPhones to two different iTunes account on the same iMac?

    I have one (1) iMac and two (2) iPhones and two (2) iPads...
    I have set up two (2) login accounts on the same iMac... one for myself and another for my wife.
    Likewise I have setup iTunes account for myself and for my wife in both the logins... the problem occurs when I try and sync my wife's iPhone to her version of the iTunes...
    By the way I have authorised the same iMac with both the iTunes account so that me and my wife can have a individual setups and not mess with each others apps / music.
    Any help would be welcome.
    Thanks 

    Each iTunes account is linked to a different Apple ID.  Setup one iPhone with the Apple ID for your wife and the other with the Apple ID for yourself.  Then sync the iPhones to their respective login/iTunes accounts on the Mac.

  • Can I home share two separate itunes accounts to the same homeshare?

    I would like to home share two separate iTunes accounts we have at the house.  Has anyone done that? Or am I forced to consolidate to one iTunes account which only allows 5 authorized computers?

    Yes you can set up homesharing on more than one library to be shared with other devices, just use the same homesharing ID and password on all of them.

  • Two separate itunes accounts on the same computer

    Ok I need help before I throw my computer and iphones.
    I have two separate itunes accounts, and two separate iphones. I'm using the same computer.
    I'm trying to sync my wife's iphone to her itunes account on my laptop, but it keeps wanting to load my apps to her phone.
    Now I signed out of my itunes, and signed into her's.
    How come itunes is pulling my apps up and wanting to sync them to her phone? 
    I authorized her phone to my laptop as well.
    This doesn't make sense at all.
    How can I just start from scratch and just have itunes backup what's on her phone, and thats it?

    The issue is this is referring to music, I'm asking about applications.
    If I setup a new user on my laptop, when I open itunes, isn't it going to just pull the same data in itunes already?
    And if this is the way to fix it, I would need to have a separate user on my laptop for every device that isn't linked to my itunes account? (seems extreme)
