Different i tunes accounts

I have used 2 different itunes accounts to buy apps - but then my credit card got stolen so we cancelled it and I created a new itunes account. Problem is - I now have updates for the apps that I used old account to purchase and they will not let me update bcause they want the old account information - but that does not exist anymore. I have this issue over 3 iphones and an ipad. Can someone kindly help me please

Apps, video are tied to your iTunes account.
You changed accounts for no reason, you could have just switched out the card info.
You cannot switch over the apps to another account.

How do I addmy I tunes songs to my I phone if I have two different I tune accounts? Ive heard of people accidentally deleting all of their phone info when trying to do so, so I'm trying to avoid that!

I don't know why the songs aren't matching.
Just because a song does not "match" does not mean it won't be available in the cloud. Non-purchased tracks that are not matched will be uploaded to the cloud. You need to enable the iCloud Status. Pull down View > View Options and select "iCloud Status" then close the small window.

iTunes only shows one kind of cloud icon next to songs, viz, a cloud with a down arrow set in a grey background. There are no cloud icons next to any other songs. I'm not sure what their status is consequently.
Unless you've deleted the track from the iTunes library you shouldn't see any cloud icons next to songs that have been successfully processed. Did you delete any tracks?
Rick Fernandez1 wrote:
What is really want is to match and also be able to keep the songs that don't match. Are these mutually exclusive goals? If so, then I don't want iTunes Match after all.
You do. The tracks in the iTunes library are not touched or modified in any way. They stay right where they are unless you delete them.

Also, I thought Match was supposed to convert the songs that are matched to 256 kbps. This has not at all happened. I don't see any that were upconverted at all.
This does not happen automagically. You must delete the track from the iTunes library and download the "matched" track. But upgrading only works for tracks that have been "matched." Tracks that have been "uploaded" are exactly the same as what was on your HDD. See my instructions above to enable the iCloud Status column.

I have an older PC with three i-tunes libraries on it that go with three different i-tunes accounts. The PC won't boot up and needs to be re-installed. Will I lose the three libraries? Is there a way to reverse sync the libraries from the i-pods after?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Just use your backup to put everything back. This is one of the many reason that backup are very basic.

HT204053 can I have two cloud accounts on one mac. Different i tunes accounts and users

Can I have two ic;ouds on the same mac. This is a ridiculous set up. Why do I need to create a user name and insert all of this information just to get a simple answer. its no wonder people end up googling stuff rather than using this website.

If you prefer to Google, then Google. On here you stand a good chance of getting a direct answer from experienced users. And the login is necessary because without it we'd get more spam and stupid posts than we do now. Pretty well all online forums require an login for the same reason.
To answer your actual question. Firstly, you can use different Apple ID's for iTunes (and iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) and iCloud itself, with email, Calendar and Contacts syncing, PhotoStream, and so on. There is no conflict about doing this.
If you want to use two separate actual iCloud accounts you can do one of two things:
1. You can set up a second user account on your Mac: then each user account can be separately signed into and iCloud account with all its facilities.
2. Having decided which iCloud account is to be your main one, and having signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it (and enabled Mail, Calendars and so on) you can sign in with the other account in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars. The email, calendars and contacts will appear alongside those belonging to the first account. The only differences from the primary account are a) Email is not 'pushed' but checked at intervals, and b) you can only use PhotoStream with the primary account.

I have restored my iphone 5 from icloud but since i have, it is asking me to log into a totally different i tunes account. one i cannot remember ever using.

I cant remember ever using this itunes account. how do i stop it asking me to log in all the time.
thanks.

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

How can I set up two i tunes accounts on the same i mac for different profiles

I have set up two profiles on my new i mac. I now want to access two different i tunes accounts but when downloading the second account I get a message saying the computer is already set up with an apple id and if you download you can not auto download !! for 90 days ??? I don't understand this

Jus don't turn on Autodownload (iTunes prefs > Store).
Autodownload simply tells iTunes to automaticall download items if you purchase them elsewhere (such as a different computer or iPhone/iPad).
You can still download them when your purchase them on the computer or go to iTunes store in iTunes, select Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.

Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account?

Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account? My family shares one I tunes account but it would be nice to be able to have a different I cloud for family member. Is there a way to do this. Because the I cloud part on the setting on the phone and I pad are greyed out on the phones so you can't change the user.

If they are greyed out then usually this means that the account is not validated on that device. The Delete Account button at the bottom should still work and allow you to remove the current account form the iCloud Section of Settings.
To answer your question, yes. There are four places you can use an Apple ID on an iOS device:
Settings > iCloud
Settings > Messages
Settings > FaceTime
Settings > iTunes & App Stores
The iTunes & App Stores is the only one you want to use a shared (family) Apple ID account. The other three you will want a unique Apple ID for that person to prevent info merging or messages getting shared, etc.

My family uses a single lap-top as our main internet connection and when we synch our respective I-pods, our I-tunes account seems to wipe-out our playlists, even though we have tried to create separate I-tune accounts. Help!!

My family uses a single lap-top as our home computer and several of us have i-pods that we like to synch, using I-tunes. Although we've tried to create separate I-tune accounts, our i-tunes playlists are getting wiped out when one of us deletes songs on our I-pod and it seems as though I-tunes is not distinguishing our distinct accounts and all i-pods are being synched to reflect the latest i-pod anyone makes on their respective account. It appears as though our distinct I-tune accounts are not being loaded on our lap-top when we sign in and unfortunately, when we're in I-tunes, there is nothing to indicate what account is on the screen. For all the glowing appraisals apple-related products usually receive, we are finding i-tunes and its interface with our respective i-pods to be a very, very frustrating experience.
Can anyone shed some light on this for a family of non-techies? Thx

You need to create separate Windows user accounts if you want to seperate the behaviour of iTunes for each user. That also means separate iTunes libraries for each user.
Windows is a multi-user operating system but you are not using it properly. iTunes is not a multi-user application. No application is. You can't expect it to treat different users differently when they are all using the same computer user account.
Do you understand what I mean?

There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync with one computer, iTunes library, or account. See this article for different ways of managing multiple iPods.

Are you saying that iTunes does not recognize the other 2 iPods?

Downloading previously purchsed music from iCloud is based on your iTunes ID, not your iCloud ID. (It uses "iTunes in the Cloud", which has nothing to do with your iCloud account, just your iTunes ID.)
If you are using a different iTunes ID on your iOS devices than the one you used to purchase the music, you'll have to sync the music to your devices using iTunes. If they are using the same iTunes ID, you can download the music to your devices as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

HT1918 My account was set up in the United States. I now live in Turkey and I want to update my I Tunes account information but when I update my country it changes my I Tunes to Turkish which I do not speak. I want my I Tunes to remain in English.

My I Tunes account was opened in the United States. I now live in Turkey. I wanted to update my personal information with my
address etc but when I changed my country it changed my I Tunes to Turkish which I do not speak. I had to change my country
back to the United States in order to get my I Tunes back to English. There must be some to Live in a different country and still
be able to have I Tunes in English but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Restore the device and set it up as new.
Either plug it into itunes and select restore under the summary tab, or (post ios5) go into settings, general, reset, erase all content and data. When either asks to save a backup, you dont have to....hit No etc..
This will bring the ipad to the start screen like you just bought it and erase everything.

Different I tunes on same computer for seprate Ipod?

I was wondering if there’s a way I can have separate I tunes recently I bought a ipod 80 gig video, and my family has a ipod already and with itunes. Is there a way I can have different I tunes on the same computer so I don’t have to have the same songs (vise versa)

When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library and or user account or
b) Creating multiple user accounts.
Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
Sharing a Library and/or User Account
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
Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page:
Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library:
Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
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
I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:
Using Windows XP User Accounts
