I'm going to give my old iPad to my granddaughter, I want to create an account for her, but I want to do it on my computer so there are no worries about who is spending credits for that account. Don't know how this will work, or if its possible to two iTunes libraries.
Okay.
She's going to use your computer to sync with iTunes.
Create an new computer login on your computer for her. This will keep her stuff separate and she won't be able to mess with any of your info.
Log into her computer account.
Launch iTunes.
Create a new iTunes account for her. See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
You can enter a credit card to create the account then delete the CC info. Or you can use an iTunes gift card and she can fund the account with gift cards instead of using a CC to make purchases. This is an easy way to control spending.
on the iPad, go to Settings > iMessage > Off.
Then Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content & settings.
Once it finishes, plug in the iPad, select it in iTunes and this will set it up as a new device. Enter all your granddaughter's info.
When she wants to sync her iPad or use iTunes, she needs to log into your computer with her account.
Then the iTunes library she uses will be only hers.

    how can you have 2 different itunes accounts on the same computer?

    You would need two seperate users on the computer. Then each library would be independent of each other. Or do you mean two seperate iTunes store accounts?

  • Can I have two different itunes accounts on my computer?

    Can I have two different apple itunes accounts on my computer without them having anything to do with each other?

    If you've used iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownloaded an account's past purchases then you will have tied your computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - so you won't be able to do either of those 3 things on a different account until the 90 days have completed.
    If you can't wait for the 90 days to finish then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • 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 you have two existing iTunes accounts?

    Can you have two existing iTunes accounts?

    I'm not sure what you mean since there is no such thing as an iTunes account.  There's
    1) AppleID account you use to log into the iTunes Store
    2) A collection of media tracks which is what you see when you open the iTunes application on a computer and is called a library.
    Yes, you can have multiple of either.  It doesn't make sense for most people to have more than one AppleID, and definite disadvantages.  You can have multiple libraries.  Hold down the option key while starting iTunes to create a new one or swap between them.

  • Can I use two different itune accounts on one computer?

    Can I use two different itune accounts on one computer?

    1. Give her a separate user account on your computer. If you have a backup copy of the library, you can restore it.
    2. If you encounter a 90-day waiting period, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll remove it.

  • CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

    CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

    The problem with making separate accounts is that this is a laptop, so likely not a huge hard drive, and if the three iTunes libraries need to have a lot of the same music (because everyone or two or three like some of the same stuff) you end up with double or triplicate copies of the music on the hard drive eating up drive space. Since they don't use his laptop normally, creating more accounts (with all the associated files and drive space usage each account would eat up) it probably isn't worth it.
    Instead, the best approach is like Chris said, to make playlists for the girls in the main library and then set up the various iPod to either sync everything (if big enough) or sync only specific playlists (if not big enough).
    Alternatively, they can set their iPods to manual syncing and then when Dad is visiting they can hook up their iPods and "shop" the library and drag in whatever they want to add to the iPods and delete what they no longer want.

  • Can i load two different itunes on the same computer for two different ipods?

    Can I load two different itunes on my computer for two different ipods?  Or how can I get it so that when I click on itunes, only my songs come up and not my wifes?  And the same for her.

    Yes.  The simplest way is to have separate Windows accounts for each user.  When either user runs iTunes, he/she will have a separate library with distinct content, playlists, etc., and can sync individual iDevices as needed.

  • Can you use two different iTunes accounts in Apple TV

    My wife and I have our own iTunes accounts which we use on our separate iPhones, but on the same Macbook. Can we use these separate accounts on Apple TV. Not at the same time of course.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    How do you run your two separate accounts.
    If they are part of the same library then you can access content from both iTunes accounts at the same time.
    If they are different libraries in the same user account and you switch them then you can access content from whichever library is active at the time.
    If you have two user accounts you can access both libraries at the same time providing both user accounts are running and iTunes is open in each (this option is mac only)

  • Can you have two separate itunes accounts on one pc

    I currently have my own itunes account on a Dell laptop that we want to get rid of and will be using another Dell laptop that already has another itunes account on it.  Can there be two accounts on one laptop. If yes, how.

    Yes, by using separate Windows user accounts, or if you mean iTunes libraries, starting iTunes with the Shift key held down as needed.
