Can you split an iTunes Account?

I am going through a divorce, and was wondering if anyone ever heard of a way to split the songs purchased on one iTunes account, between two accounts (ie. before/after the divorce). Neither of us wants to give up the entire iTunes library we have amassed over the last 16 years. Not all of it was purchased through iTunes, so I can recover all the other music, but the stuff that was purchased through iTunes: trying to figure out how to handle that.
Thanks - Jeff

No mechanism to do so is available from your end. If desired, you can ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll do it for you, but they probably won't.

Can you split an iTunes account into two separate iTunes accounts?

My son and I have shared my iTunes account since he was in junior high. We have both added to it over the years, amassing a huge library. My son has now left home and joined the military. At this point we want separate accounts - so we can pay separately for our purchases, back up to our own Clouds, etc. Can he take his purchased music from my library and move it to his own, new account? This would leave me with only the music I have purchased, which is fine with me. The library is currently on both of our computers.

You can't split accounts nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
For new purchases he can have his own account, and he can have that and your shared existing account authorised on the computer's iTunes that he uses (Store > Authorise This Computer menu option).
If he uses iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownloads an account's past purchases then he may tie that computer (or iOS device) to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - so he wouldn't be able to do any of those three things on a different account until the 90 days have completed.

Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer and if so how do you access them without syncing each others music?

Yes. Use separate iTunes libraries(launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down as needed), or different user accounts on the computer.

Yes, go to your Windows Control Panel and create another user,log into it, run iTunes and it's ready to rock and roll.
Transfer your content over via USB Key, Dropbox or external drive.
Heck the best thing would be to File > Backup library to disk with a bunch of DVD-R's, therefore you get a backup in the process!
Good Luck

What do you mean by, "synch two itunes accounts"? You don't sync iTunes accounts.
WHat are yoru trying to accomplish?
iTunes account= Used to make iTunes purchases.
iTunes library = All your media and what you see when you open iTunes.

How can I split my itunes account?

We have had an itunes account for both of my teenage boys. Now that one is off to college and the other is into different music we find it very complicated to have 2 different accounts. Is there any way to keep items they purchased on this account but split it into 2 accounts?

You can create a new account (e.g. via this page), but you can't currently copy or transfer content from one account to another - so anything that was bought or downloaded via your account will remain tied to your account

Can you transfer between itunes accounts using home sharing

I am wanting buy an Ipad 2 as a present and pre load some apps for them on it. Ill have to sync it to my itunes account to do this. so how do i go about ensuring what i have downlaoded doesnt get lose when they then use their itunes account? Would having to 2 accounts on one computer help?

Apps are locked to the iTunes Store account under which they were purchased and cannot be transferred to another account. Unless the recipient of this gift will be living with you or is someone who you would trust with your iTunes Store account ID and password, preloading the iPad won't be practical since, without your iTunes Store account information, anything you load on the iPad will be erased when the recipient syncs it to their computer. You can gift the apps, if you wish, which would allow the recipient to download the apps through his or her own iTunes Store account. Or you can give an iTunes card along with the iPad and let the person choose their own apps.
Regards.

"Won't it present problems if the daughter needs to reauthorize the computer for her own use before 90 days,"
No. The 90 day limit ONLY applies to redownloading purchases from iTunes..
So if she were to redownload purchases from the father's account then she'd have to wait 90 days to redownload form her own account. and the computer can be authorized for multiple iTunes account (pretty sure it's 5) . You don't need to later reauthorize for first account if you authorize for a different account.
More discussion on 90 day wait period - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6094005 - disable automatic downloads so message doesn't appear when using multiple accounts.
Most people don't see the "re"

Can you have two iTunes accounts on one computer?

Just bought a MacBook Air which I'm sharing with my husband. Is it possible to have two active iTunes accounts on one computer? We both have very different tastes in music and we have our own iPhones that we'd like to update differently. Would be great to have the option to separate our accounts.

Yes you can... and it's not that hard
