Having 2 itunes account for once apple TV
I'm on holidays at my parents. I would like to get access to my Itunes acount with my parents' apple Tv. Is it possible to have different accounts for 1 apple TV? How can I add one?
Thanks in advance for your help

Both iTunes and ATV can only connect and activte to one AppleId. So you can only see one account. If you are seeing other content on your computer it must be downloaed locally. So you will be able to see what ever content your local iTunes content has under the Computers icon. So to see the movies in iTunes you would go to Computers > Movies.
You might also contact Apple customer service to see if they can merge your other account into this one.

Discussions on using purchases from multiple AppleIDs in one iTunes library - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19543804
As I mentioned earlier, the main time when this becomes an issue is if you need to do something involving associating a computer with a particular AppleID. Careful management of your collection should minimize this situation.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - In connection with, "When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID." "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days." - Additionally instructions for "Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID"
So the first account is really "yours" and you are setting her up with her own account? It helps to know this because if both are "hers" then there isn't an issue with her having full access to both accounts. If in 10 years she moves 2000 miles away and she is pretty much independent then you may not want her to have full access to your AppleID just so she can authorize a device. -
Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both?
Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both? Everytime I try to sync my new iPad, it syncs all the apps that are on my account. If I can do this, can someone tell me how please???
Yes you can, easily. When you plug the first pad in to sync, note the name of the pad on the last pane. Set up for that device whatever you want to sync. When you are done, plug the second pad in. Make sure it has a different name on the left pane. Then sync to that pad whatever you want. I tunes will remember what you did on each pad, and will start from there the next time you plug in.

HI . my wife wants to get her own Itunes account for her Iphone for music . righ now she is using my apple ID and can only access my Itunes account and password-- any ideas ?
thanks ,
jonHi jmb8989,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Does your wife have an AppleID for her iCloud already? If so, she would use the same AppleID to sign in to the iTunes store. If not, here is the information to add or change and Apple ID:

How do I get an Apple ID?
You may already have an Apple ID, and you only need one for everything you do with Apple. If you aren't sure, visit My Apple ID and click Find your Apple ID.
If you don't have an Apple ID, you can create one at My Apple ID. You can also create one by signing up for an Apple service (such as an iTunes Store or iCloud). You should use your primary email address as your Apple ID.
You do not need to create a separate Apple ID for each Apple service. A single Apple ID can be used to access all other Apple services.
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library). -
My dad and I have shared an iTunes account for years and I just created a new apple id but I have no Idea how to get all those purchases to this new account. Help please?
The old Apple ID (presumably your dads) owns those songs and your new Apple ID does not. However, your dad can authorize your iD to use the songs by going to Store > Authorize This Computer from your iTunes menu and entering his Apple ID and password.

Someone else set up my iTunes account for me and I can't remember the Apple ID, the Password, or the name he put under it all. How do I get back into my iTunes account???? Or at least a number to call to get back???
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the alternate ID.

This may sound crazy, but download any free app. This often "shocks" the other apps into working.

I have multiple apple phones on one account can i create a new iTunes account for other iphone
I have multiple iphones on one billing account as well as itunes. Can I create a separate itunes account for other iphone?
You don't need to create two separate libraries.
If you want to sync different content onto each device, select the device in iTunes, select the tabs across the top and sync what you want.
To make it easier, create different playlists for each device and sync only those playlists. -
I purchased an iTouch for my 10 year old for Christmas. He is currently using my old iPhone 3g to play angry birds and other things. My question is whether I should create an iTunes account for him or if I should simply sync his device to my account since I am the one purchasing everything. If I sync his device to my account, how much control is there regarding iCloud sharing of photos? I ask because I would rather not have our photos sync to eachothers devices. Next question- can you even have two separate iTunes accounts on one computer??? Confused and wondering how other families do this...I am leaning towards syncing his device to my account but would love some feedback. Thanks!
Yeah, the only way to create an Apple ID for someone under the age of 13 is to make sure you use a birth year that makes them 13 or older on the FIRST TRY. Once you have a birthday associated with an email address Apple locks them in. That email address wont' be able to get an iTunes account until it's 13th Birthday.
There is a way to create an account without associating any credit card, but you'd need an iTunes Gift card or a prepaid credit card. That's what I gave my 13 year old niece and I load up 10-50 dollars every once in a while.
The thing is, If you have a kid who's under 13, it's probably better that they don't have access to your iTunes account because they can purchase things with your attached credit card not knowing that they are racking up real money in charges. If you do let your child use your ID, make sure it's password protected and that you don't give them the password EVER. Especially now with all of the "in app purchases" it's really easy to rack up a HUGE bill buying virtual smurfberries or whatever.
http://moneyland.time.com/2011/02/08/1400-for-smurfberries-why-you-should-think- twice-before-handing-an-iphone-over-to-an-8-year-old/
PASSWORDS wont' be hacked by children if they are never told what the password is in the firstplace.
Also remember that the iTunes TOS states that kids under 13 can't have their own Apple ID. So if you are caught they can delete the account...maybe more, not really sure. This is why they "lock" birthdays to email addresses, so you can't realize that you've made a mistake and go back and make the kid's birthday 10 years later and just keep going. -
Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?
You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on. -
Why are there so many more choices on the USA iTunes Store? Surely having an iTunes account should let you access all itunes availability the world over?
Also how do you request films/tv series to the UK itunes? There's tv series I'd like but they're incomplete like The Batman & Xena Warrior Princess. And films theta aren't available for download but you can purchase in a store like HMV? Apple isn't doing itself any favours by secluding countries by their store. They'd make billions if you could just select the iTunes Store you want to search & purchase from just by signing in! If anything what they're doing is putting themselves into a corner, other companies like Samsung & HTC are already on too of them for innovation & ease of use. The people they're attracting are predominantly existing Apple users not new customers. What do you guys think?It's not Apple's choice, they can only sell a particular item where the content provider/rights-holder has granted them a license to sell them. Content is licensed by the rights-holders to Apple on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store, and you have to be in a country to use its store - they want control over where their content is available.
You can try requesting that an item be added to the UK store via this page, but unless the rights-holder agrees to then Apple won't be able to sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html -

How can I deauthorize an iTunes account for a computer I no longer possess?
If you no longer have the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

I want to set up a separate cloud/itunes account for my husband. Right now we share and it is causing confusion.We both have the iPhone4
The way I set up my 3 iPhones is to create separate "iCloud" ID's for each user, but then use the SAME iTunes Apple ID for the iTunes store. You'll most likely lose your contacts, Calendars etc. unless you have them saved on a computer. You'll need to delete your current Account under iCloud, then create a new "iCloud" Apple ID ([email protected]) for at least one device if not both (one for yourself and one for your husband). Once you have those set up for your iCloud, then Goto Settings, Store, then change that ID to your old "iTunes" Apple ID, that way you can still both use your previously purchased Music/Apps etc.
You can then change your computers to use the new iCloud ID's and it should upload the data back to the cloud. Just be warned that it might wipe out any saved Contacts/Calendars etc. if you don't have them on a computer as well.
There is a Help article on how to do this as well, but i can't seem to find the link.
