Creating another iTunes account

Our family of iPods has grown. We currently have 5 iPods we use.
1--iPod Video (husband)
1--iPod Nano 3rd Gen (mine)
2-iPod Nano 4th Gen (2 daughters)
1-iPod Mini (family room--kids music)
I am about to get my husband a shuffle for working out.
I want to create a new iTunes account for the 3 kids iPods but I have lots of music and video I have purchased that I would want on that account.
Is there a way to transfer already purchased music and video to a new iTunes account? Basically I want two iTunes accounts...one for adults and one for the kids stuff.
Thanks

Problems creating separate iTunes account from iPhone

My wife and I have iPhones. I'm a MobileMe account user and my wife's email address is another email address within my MM account (I'm [email protected] and she is [email protected]). If we try to access iTunes with her existing email address it says the ID doesn't exist but when we try to set up a new user account in iTunes through her iPhone we're getting the message that the account is on an existing MobileMe account so won't set up new account.
How do we set up 2 iPhones to work with these email ID's?

If your wife's MobileMe address is an alias address under your MobileMe account, this is likely the problem when trying to create a new iTunes account with an alias email address, which is under the primary MobileMe account/address.
If both iPhones are synced with the same iTunes library at the present time with all 3rd party apps in your iTunes library and on each iPhone purchased/downloaded with your existing iTunes account, why do you want to create another iTunes account? All 3rd party apps and video purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to purchase/download the content.

iMatch works by matching or uploading the music in your iTunes account, it doesn't matter where the music came from as long as it now in your account, but if you purchased it with a different account you will need to be logged in
No.
As long as you computer is authorized for that iTunes account, the songs will work with iTunes Match. The user does not need to be logged in on that computer.
Husband's computer and husband's iTunes account signed in.
Songs from wife's iTunes account on computer and computer authorized for wife's account. Songs from both will work with iTunes Match.

I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

You do not merge libraries.
iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

I created an iTunes account and finished by having a verification email sent out. I never got the email and when I get the note to resend it it won't let me tap on it and below it says, email address is already verified for another Apple ID

Apple requires each Apple ID be associated with a different email address. Perhaps that is why you haven't received the email. Or you received the email and it is in your Junk Mail folder.

My husband and I are using the same computer. He has a ton of songs in iTunes that I don't want...but when I sync my iPod I get all of his songs too. Is there a way of setting up another ITunes account without having to untick all of the ton songs iTunes

My husband has a ton of songs in iTunes that I don't want on my iPod nano. Is there a way to set up a separate account on the same computer in iTunes? Do I have to un-tick all of his songs (would take forever!! And then he would have to tick them again)....when we sync our iPods?

No. Its not possible.
Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.

How do I create two iTunes accounts under the same email address?

I've got my account duplicated -and charged for apps I already own- by using my email address as login instead of apple ID, but I've been told it's my fault so…
I'm trying to figure out
*How do I do to create two iTunes accounts under the same email and having different IDs?*
I mean, two accounts with different purchase history. It doesn't matter if billing address, or credit card are the same (or different) because none of them flag apps as "purchased"
I tried today from iTunes, but it tells me the email is taken.
Do you know any way a user can do it from our end? (website, iTunes, iPhone)
If you've got charged by apps twice, please don't say it here. I don't want my post being deleted again. Thanks.

Beavis2084:
Expired .mac accounts HAVE NO EMAIL. You own the id (which iTunes requests to be spelled in form of an email)
Also, FREE .mac accounts have no email either.
What you see in the screenshots is what I'm saying:
There's been a change in the way iTunes wants you to login. The iTunes reps see at their end what you see at the top of the window, which probably is the "migration" of the new login: Old login system, using ID (in form of email for iTunes)
BELOW you clearly see where says "ID" and both have the email as login.
(again, that .mac email doesn't exist and NEVER DID)
That's the NEW login: your EMAIL.
I'm sorry I didn't explain it better the first time. I wrote about this so many times to iTunes support reps to prevent them to "read" what their system says that I gave it for settled. (not to mention that my first post was removed because "it lacks of interest for others"
I own an apple ID, given away with the purchase of a new computer (nothing small by the way) and when that happens (and never subscribe for a paid membership), you use ANOTHER email to be related to your account.
Now that AGAIN apple asks you for using your EMAIL (non-apple in our case) instead of your ID (which you can't use or you will never get a notification again!) the system believes there are two accounts.
It's like your credit card bank changing the address for sending the payments. You are STILL paying, but getting a higher rate because their CHANGED the address and the check never arrives.
In this case, signing in with a different string, makes the system believe there are two accounts. And that probably is under the policy which probably states purchases are not charged twice for SAME ID, and SAME iPhone… and you used a different ID, so it must be fair (sarcasm). Who told you to do so? Bad boy!

How to sync when setting up another iTunes account

My son just turned 13 and I want him to start using his own iTunes account. He had been using mine (I have an iPad and an iPhone) but I'd like him to start using his own account. I set up an iTunes account for him and figured out to do the home sharing so that he can import apps from my library that he wants. These apps now show up on his computer under his iTunes account. However, when we try to sync apps, it looks like it will erase everything he has on his iPod and replace with what we have checked, which is fine but will it erase all the folders and force him to set those up again? Is there no way for it to keep the apps that he already has in the folders they are already in? I'm not sure if I'm explaining this right but hopefully someone has done this before for their kids and nows what I'm asking.
Thanks.
Lisa

HT2534 I should be able to create an itunes account without a credit card but it doesn't give me the option of choosing none; Why?

I should be able to create an itunes account without a credit card but it doesn't give me the option of choosing none; Why?

Did you follow the instructions on that page exactly when you created the account ? They worked for me yesterday on my computer's iTunes when I tried them in response to another thread.
e.g. I logged out of my existing account and found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price'
I then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
And after agreeing to the terms and filling in my details I was able to select 'none' as the payment method.

I am in south africa, just bought a voucher for us$ to get stuff from US itunes....but i can not create us itunes account, i am in south africa, just bought a voucher for us$ to get stuff from US itunes....but i can not create us itunes account

how can i buy stuff in US istore with a voucher i just bought.... I am in South africa and can not create a itunes account in the US

You can't, you can only buy content from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You will either need to make do with what is in the South African store (and I know that it hasn't got the same content as in other countries), or for music you could use other music purchase download sites that you have access to (and you can copy your own CDs).

How do I push an app to my employees iphones without making them create an itunes account?

My business has over 40 employees, all of whom we provide with Iphones to use for business use. I need for them all to download an app to the phones, without having them create an Itunes account. I don't have physical access to the phones as this is a remote business and the employees and phones are scattered across the state. Is there a way to purchase 40 apps and create a link to send to my employees by email? If not, is there another way to accomplish this goal?
Thanks,
Clay

You can't without utilizing an MDM and have all their phones enrolled into it.

How would I take money from one iTunes account and put it on another iTunes account?

Trying to swap money from one iTunes account to another iTunes account so I can make in app purchases in a certain game. Can anyone help me out please?

You can't do this yourself. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

Hi I have an 80G ipod classic, It is a few years old and i have recently updated from a pc to Mac. When i connect my classic to the Mac it tells me that this ipod is synced to another itunes account ! If i restore i will loose all my music. Help!

I have an ipod Classic 80G. It is a few years old and hasnt been used for a while. I have just tried to sync it to my new Mac and it says theat thei ipod is synced with another itunes account!!!
It was orriganally managed through my old pc but as far as i am aware the itunes account is the same. If i sync with my mac it will remove all that is in the Classsic and replace it with current itunes!
How can i get round this ?

Hi Becki ..
You need to "authorize" the Mac.
Launch iTunes on the Mac then from the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Now, using the same Apple ID as you used to purchased iTunes media originally, you should be able to sync all your content.
