Having 2 i-tunes accounts on one device

I have a Mac Book Pro with an I-tunes acct. We have several Apple devices such as i-pads, i-pods and phones and we all share one I-Tunes account. My daughter just got her first i-phone and wants her own i-tunes account. My question is: Can I have 2 I-tunes accounts and manage both on my Mac Book? And can we share games, music, videos etc between the 2 accounts?
Thanks,
Laurie

You can have content from multiple Apple IDs in a single iTunes library and on a device(to a limit of five on the device). Note that you'll need to sign in with the Apple ID associated with each application to update it, and may need to in order to make in-app purchases.

HT4436 can I have multiple icloud accounts on one device

can I have multiple icoud accounts on one device (ipad)?

Are you sure only primary account can use Find my iPhone?
I added a secondary account to my daughters iphone and was able to use it for Find my iPhone.
It warns you that the Find my iphone service will be disabled on the other icloud account.
I think this is a good change so I can use a single account to track all the devices.
Looks like only photostream and documents/data are tied to the primary account.

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.

We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

There is no "adding" a device. Simply plug the iDevice into the computer. iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

Can I use two Apple ID account in one device. Are there irregularities

You can use one ID for iTunes/iTunes Match, and another for iCloud, without any problems. You can add a secondary iCloud account in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, contacts and Calendars. Its data will appear alongside the main iCloud account though you cannot use PhotoStream with it.

Can I download from different iTunes accounts on one device

Hi,
I am interested in buying an iPad and would like to know:
1) Is it possible for me to use two iTunes accounts to download apps from two different regions (Canada & China) on one device?
2) If no, is there a workaround or some suggestions?
3) If yes, how can it be done and can I use more than one laptop to manage the iTunes library of this device?
Thanks in advance

Yes. Create a new Windows user account.

Can I have two iCloud accounts on one IPad?

Yes, you can add a second ("secondary") iCloud to a device as mendi1 stated. There are some limitations with secondary iCloud accounts. Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, syncing Bookmarks and Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My iDevice. Also push email only works in the primary account; only fetch mail is supported in a secondary account. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4020.

Neither of those Apps allow you to (easily) add iWork documents created or edited on the device to your online storage, you need to be using a webDAV server to be able to do that. In fact pretty much all you can add from the iOS device is photos and video without resorting to convoluted workarounds, intermediate apps or emailing finished documents to yourself. You can on the other hand view most of the content of dropbox/sugarsync through those apps, which in a lot of circumstances is useful, but without it working in both directions these apps are far from an ideal solution.
E.g from the sugarsync website
Yes, this may not be of too much interest to the OP, I was only trying to clarify the situation with iCloud.com/iWork for you.
However that being said, there may be areas of interest for Computer to Computer syncing, given the recent changes made to iCloud.com/iWork. I wouldn't suggest iCloud sharing for archived documents, but for perhaps up to a couple of dozen documents in progress, iCloud sharing is now quite viable. If there is any chance at all of these documents being accessed on an iOS device then iCloud would become a preferred option to dropbox or sugarsync.

HT204053 Multiple iCloud accounts on one device?

I am trying to help my school teacher wife to set up her iCloud account, can you have more than one iCloud account setup on one device? For example she needs one account for her school work, and would like one account for personal.

Yes, with certain caveats:

Can you have 2 iCloud accounts on one device, i would like to share photo stream with my wife but not calendar, contacts

How do you setup 2 icloud accounts on one phone. I would like to do that to separate contacts/calendars from photo stream. I have a shared photo library that i would like to be able to access from each phone. How do you do it?
Thanks.

I don't think there is a method cause when you have 2 iCloud account you double the memory given by them (5gb) and if you want more memory you have to pay so I don't think apple might have a loop in that :p bu if you want to share pics then you can always use luthoot enabled apps

Multiple iTunes Accounts on One Device

I have an iPad I got through work and a personal iPhone at home. Each have their own iTunes accounts. Is it possible through Home Sharing to purchase apps through my personal account and install them on my work iPad without wiping out the apps associated with my work account? Thanks.

Currently the only way to do this is one person use the Facebook app and everyone else that wants to use Facebook will have to use the browser.

Can there Be More Than One I-Tunes Account on One Computer?

I don't know where to post this question and can't find it anywhere in the Faqs. If there are a couple of people using I-Tunes, can they use the same computer but with their own accounts? If so, how can they set up their own account? The reason I am asking is because a couple of family members have I-Tunes gift cards and will want to download their music and apps on a particular computer, the one that the I-pad will be syncing to. Thanks for any help on this.

can they use the same computer but with their own accounts?
Yes. Log in and out of the iTunes Store as needed, and authorize the computer with all of the accounts. The iPad can only contain content purchased from five different accounts at any given time.

Tough One: 3 iPods, Two i-Tunes Accounts, and one machine

My wife and I have three iPods between us (60GB and 2 Nanos). At present, each is tied to three seperate machines (all running Windows XP).
We would very much like to build a new machine (Windows XP) and have it serve as our repository for all of our tunes. We'd also like to be able to use all three iPods with this one machine.
Have NO clue as to the best way to transfer the music (though I suspect from each iPod to the one machine is probably best) and how we might manage the tunes between devices (profiles?) once we get everything in one place. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi, InfoSec.
Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for the main options for transferring your music from one computer to another.
You may also find Hudgie's User Tip of interest.
Once the music is transferred, this Knowledge Base article explains how to use multiple iPods on a single computer.
Post back if you need anything clarified.
