Can two apple id share music on one iTunes account

Can two apple id's share music on one itunes account

No. But you can have music from more than one Apple ID in iTunes and on your iPhone. You just need to Authorize both accounts in iTunes. Note that there are licensing restrictions; only family members can share content. This is enforced mostly by the honor system, except in cases of extreme and obvious violations.

    You can have one icloud account and a different itunes account on the phone. I have my icloud account and a shared itunes account. He does not have to use the new icloud account as is ID in itunes and app store. He can keep using the old one.

  • Sharing Music: using one iTunes account for two users on one MacBook Air

    I'm trying to set up my parents on their new MacBook Air and I have set up an account for each of them. To keep their music collection simple & compact I want them both to use one iTunes account on the one machine. Can two separate users work off the same iTunes account on the one machine?
    I have tried the Home Sharing function but this seems to be for separate machines rather than accounts.
    I have also tried putting the music into a shared folder but this hasn't worked properly for me as the secondary account is able to purchase (but not download) the music correctly from iTunes.
    Any help appreciated. Thank you.

  • Can I have two iPads with two different credit cards linked to one iTunes account?

    Can I have two iPads with two different credit cards linked to one iTunes account?

    It is still not possible to have two credit cards with your iTunes store account. I've just had a discussion with an Apple representative who suggested I give feedback to Apple about this. The more we are, Apple might listen to us in the end.
    This is the link
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    Please feel free to use or modify what I wrote there:
    I’m surprised as are many other people who have the same issue (can see this in many forum threads) that Apple don’t give us the possibility to have at least 2 credit cards with one AppleID/account like most other vendors do (even much smaller than Apple). This certainly forces people to buy some stuff elsewhere that they otherwise would have purchased from Apple (for example books) or restrain from buying things they would have bought if they had a choice to use a second Credit Card.
    Not having this option puts me in a precarious situation since it would not be OK to buy just anything with the Credit Card that is tied to my business (and in many cases like mine the business is only one person, the VAT No being the same as my social security No).
    Sole traders need an option too.

  • HT4557 can I share music on my itunes account with my wife's iphone?

    Can I share music on my itunes account with my wife's iphone?

    I have a similar problem, and have followed your suggestions with great success.
    We both have seperate itunes accounts and both share the same login on our computer (although I could create a login for her if it would be better).
    As I said, setting up her phone worked great, I could add all of my music, and select the apps I already had to put on her phone, etc.  However, now I cannot log back into my account from itunes on our computer, I just get an error saying iTunes is not available at this time.
    My phone also started asking for her itunes details each time I went to the App store / itunes on my phone, but I've changed this back to me.
    So, my question is, how do I get back into itunes on my computer?  Should it be possible to keep swapping accounts?

  • Two separate iPhones got merged into one iTunes account. How to separate them. We are sharing all of each other's contacts at this time. Thanks for your help.

    Two separate iPhones got merged into one iTunes account. How can I separate them in iTunes???????. We are sharing all of each other's contacts at this time. Thanks for your help.

    The reason you are receiving each other's text messages is because you are both using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  To prevent this you need to use different IDs.  (Note: you can still share the same ID for iTunes.)  On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.
    To migrate your 3GS to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep on the phone to your camera roll.  To do this, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Next, if you have any notes that you are syncing with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to email these to yourself so they can be recreated after moving to the new account.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, choose Keep On My iPhone.  Next, sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account, turn iCloud data syncing preferences and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, if you have merged data in the two accounts that you want to separate you will have to go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account.

    If you have the media on an iDevice then you should be able to get most of your non-iTunes purchases back as well. See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options.

  • HT3819 Why can't I use my apple TV to share more than one iTunes account?

    My partner and I both have seperate iTunes accounts, understandably. And we both use our appleTV, understandably. Why can't we set up apple TV to play music / watch shows from both of our computers? I hope this is not because I haven't read the manual.

    You CAN use the ATV to share more than one iTunes library. Homesharing however require you to use the SAME apple ID on both computer. I have homesharing turned on both my girlfriend and my computer with me signed in on both computers and the ATV. Both itunes librarie show up on the ATV as long as both computer are ON.

  • Sharing music from one itunes account to another

    We have all our music on one computer with our original apple id on itunes. My daughter now has her own apple id, laptop and iphone. Can I transfer all the music from one computer to another and link/share it with her itunes account so she can download it onto her iphone?

    Music can only be synced to one computer....if done on one machine then you go to another...it will erase all content (to stop piracy).
    Have him give you the physical file and you put it on your machine. Then try to play it in iTunes. It will prompt for his username and password (yes he will have to give it to you). It will then authorize your machine for his account as well (meaning you can play music from him). Note you have a limit of number of machines you can authorize and thus you will loose one authorization by doing this. So if you end up getting more machines in your home and/or other devices...you are short one account number now.

  • Copying music from one iTunes account to another

    I have been using iTunes together with my iPad for a while now. My partner has recently bought his own iPad, has opened an iTunes account and set it up on his user account on the same PC that I use. Although he has put some of his favourite music in his iTunes, he is interested in listening to some (but not all) of the music I have on my iTunes account. Is there a way I can copy some of my iTunes music to his iTunes account?

    No. All store purchases remain tied to the account they were bought with. You can however authorize your new computer for the existing account and then make new purchases on a new account. However with apps from two accounts you'll need to sign in & out of each account to authorize the updates. For the moment I'm treating my account as a family account even though two of my children have left home and we all make purchases on the one account, but they have to check with me first.

  • Can two apple IDs share the same library?

    Mac newbie here needs some advice...
    I just got a new iMac and have created separate accounts for my husband and me on it.  We used to share an apple ID for music, but now I'd like for us to have our own apple IDs especially with the iCloud capabilities I don't want my iPhone stuff going to his Mac account, etc.  Problem is that all his music is in my library and he doesn't want to have to re-buy it again.  So I figured out that I can share my music library with his account on the iMac, and I have him signed in to iTunes with his separate Apple ID... good so far... but what's going to happen when he buys something?  Will it go into my library (as some sort of combined one), or into a separate one?
    The other issue I encountered is that when I went to enable automatic synchronization across devices for him, I got a message saying that it was already logged in with another apple ID (I'm assuming it was referring to mine?).  That's not good. 
    I want us both to have totally separate IDs etc, especially for iCloud backups etc, but I wanted to be able to share music libraries.  Is that possible?  Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks!

    If you want to share a single AppleID with a single iTunes Library, then simply sync both devices to that iTunes library using the same user account.
    If you want to sync two AppleIDs to one iTunes library, in iTunes on the computer, login and authorize each AppleID, then sync the devices to that common iTunes library in the same user account.
    You do not do anything on the device being sync'd itself - it all has to do with how iTunes that you are syncing to is set up and what AppleIDs are authorized there.  You can sync multiple devices to iTunes, just be sure that each device gets a unique device name in the iTunes sidebar.
    To then use unique AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage on a iOS device, first, make an iCloud account with the AppleID you want to use (go to http://www.iCloud.com), then set up that iCloud account on the device with that ID and password.  In iMessage, just log out with whatever AppleID you are using now, log in with the new AppleID and it will reauthorize, now linking that device with the new iMessage account just created with that AppleID (your iMessage primary account ID is always the AppleID used to initially create and verify the iMessage account).
