Can you have 2 iphones on one itune account

My wife and i both have a iphone now and we currently have them both under one itunes account.  We have noticed that both of our contacts show up in each of our phones.  is there a way to keep this from happening?  Or do we need to set up two different itune accounts?

My spouse and I have one iTunes account but separate apple IDs. Are you sharing apple IDs? That might be the problem. We have two iPads not two iPhones (yet), but seems like it would most likely work the same. I don't see his contacts and he doesn't see mine, so that would be my suggestion. Make sure you each have your own apple IDs but one iTunes account and see if you still have the same issue.

    Can you have more than one itunes account at one time with apple tv

    My understanding is that the home sharing is based off of being on the same Wifi.  So if someone brings their laptop to your house and connects to your Wifi and they have home sharing on they can connect so you can see his/her iTunes library on your iTunes. 
    I haven't tried this though.  We have two laptops at home, both using my iTunes account and I can see each other's iTunes library, which I'm guessing is what you're probably doing now.  I'd be interested to know if my thought above is true.

    I Have two iTunes accounts because I spend half the year in Canada and other half in U.S.
    I Just  switch the country. I have to do this because an iTunes card purchased in the U.S. Is not valid in the Canada store. And Vice Versa.
    i Also have two icloud accounts. That is what I don't know about.
    Do I need two? Can I have all my purchases in each country under one account?

  • Can you have more than one iTunes account on the same computer?

    My wife just got a nano and wants to set up her itunes library. Since we have different tastes in music, I thought we should have separate libraries under our separate log-ins to our PC so that her music didn't upload to my iPod and vice versa. Is that the right approach or is there a better way?

    There are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library and user account.
    b) Creating multiple user accounts and having separate libraries.
    Sharing a Library
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
    Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists

    Create a New User Account for each User.
    Then Each user will have their own iTunes library..

  • Can I have more than one itunes account on my apple tv?

    Can I have more than one itunes account on my apple tv?  We have two accounts in our family and would like to be able to switch between them.

    Thank you.  What I was really trying to find out is if there is a limit on switching iTunes accounts - I have a vague memory of reading that changing from one iTunes store account to another was going to be limited in some way, but maybe this is on iTunes itself?  Or perhaps my memory is incorrect?   We have two iTunes accounts and swap back and forth regularly on our iPhones and iPads to buy and update apps without a problem.  I couldn't find any reference to it on a quick search yesterday so what I have done with the AppleTV is leave it set to one account, and we watched the other account content via my Macbook.

  • How many devices can I have connected to one iTunes account?

    How many devices can I have connected to one iTunes account?

    If you mean authorized computers, five.
    If you mean devices associated with iTunes Match or automatic downloads, ten.
    If you mean devices synced with a single iTunes library, there’s no limit.

  • Can you have more than one user account on an Ipad

    can you have more than one account on the ipad.

    But...
    You CAN connect an iPad to multiple Apple ID's, one-at-a-time, if you're willing to share a combined pool of apps, music, movies, photos, podcasts, and perhaps, email accounts, and sync things manually.
    First, uncheck the option to 'automatically sync' mobile devices in the preferences for each iTunes account, so that you're not accidentally installing or removing content when you connect the iPad to a computer.
    Here's how we do it:
    I have a MacBook with two user accounts and two Apple ID's: "Hers"-used only for iTunes/iPad manual sync-ing and backup; and "Mine", used for all my Mac programs, plus iPad Apps that I'm interested in.
    The iPad2 is her only computing device, used primarily for email and web-browsing.
    On her iPad2, we have a combined 'pool' of apps, photos, and music.
    We use her Apple ID for her email, and to sync and back up.
    I use my Apple ID to download a lot of free apps to my MacBook.
    In the App Store, I sign out of her Apple ID and use my Apple ID to transfer and update the apps I want to try out. Then I can delete them from her iPad when I'm done 'playing', yet leave them on my MacBook for future re-installation, if desired.
    To simplify email privacy, we've configured the iPad Mail app exclusively for her MobileMe and Hotmail accounts. I connect to my email accounts with the Safari browser, or from my MacBook.
    Hope that helps!
    I'm not certain how iOS 5 and iCloud might enhance or restrict my ability to manage this in the future.

  • HT2534 Can I have more than one iTunes account on an iPod.

    I want to set up two iTunes accounts on my devices so that my son can buy products from a separate account? Can I do that?

    Yes.
    - Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into other account.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
