Help with 2 iTunes accounts on 1 computer

A few questions here
Gfs laptop has broke so to replace going to get an iPad so she wants to put her iTunes account on my computer.
I am assuming the simplest way to do this (windows 7) is to create her own user name, sign herself in, download iTunes and put her apple I'd in?
Also before syncing her iPhone to her iTunes account on my computer, she wants her photos/videos backed up without using iTunes for fear of losing them when updating to iOS 5.0.1 (currently using 4. Something)
I am assuming to do this you need to check make iPhone storage device then my computer select her phone then drag n drop to a new created folder for he iPhone photos?
Next is she has very little music not purchased through iTunes which is obviously on her iTunes account.  Can she somehow copy Music that I have on my iTunes that has been either imported from cd's or downloaded (not from iTunes store) from my iTunes to hers? Possibly copying the files somehow
Apologies to the community but I am a total novice at this and any help will be much appreciated

  • Help with itunes account!

    So my mom's account for itunes is not working. On her phone everytime she tries to put in her password to download an app it says wrong password, and the same at itunes store. We tried to send it to her e-mail but nothing gets sent to it, we checked the spam folder too. We tried restarting everything, that didn't work either. We could make a new account, but she has made purchases on her account already, so we don't want to have to rebuy the stuff she has boughten already. Does anyone else know how to fix this problem?

    we are just users like you we cant do anything to help fix your moms itunes account your going to have to contact apple directly

  • What are the options to use itunes with multiple accounts on one computer

    I am totally confused; apple phone support seems to have no clue at least the person I spoke to. I want to get two iTunes accounts on one computer, one exists already. I am not sure what apple allows in this case. I was told at a apple store that if you create another PC profile you should be able to get the second iTunes account on the same computer with the new windows profile. There seems to be no info on the discussions board to this issue.
    I do not want to share an account and have a second library I think it would be too confusing for the other person. Is this possible?

    You can purchase music using multiple accounts within the same Windows profile & using the same iTunes library. I think when you log into the store it remembers the last account name used, but provided you don't let it remember your password then you have the opportunity to enter the correct details for each purchase.
    If you're going to place these purchases on your respective iPod's the following may help.
    *How to use multiple iPods with one computer*
    The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
    e.g.
    "Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
    "Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
    Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
    etc.
    I currently manage our family's five iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

  • I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that are not synced with my iTunes account on my computer.  How can I sync my phone and iTunes on my computer without losing what is on my iPhone?  (original computer was stolen)

    I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that I would like to sync with my iTunes account on my computer.  The CDs were on my original laptap also, but it was stolen and I set up the iTunes on my new computer.
    When I try to sync I get a message indicating that the iPhone iTunes will be replaced with the computer iTunes.
    How can I sync and retain both iTunes?

    Music is designed to sync in one way only, and that is from iTunes to the phone. There is the expectation that you would backup the computer to save this data. There are 3rd party solutions to try and recover music from the phone to put back into a blank iTunes library.

  • HT1206 Can I sync my wife's new Iphone with "my" Itunes or should I just set up a new Itunes account on her computer???

    I just tried to sync my wife's new Iphone with "my" ITunes.  Bad mistake!!  I guess "my" itunes thought her phone was mine and "somehow" went into "restore" mode and basically turned "her" phone into mine - ie. contacts, photos, etc.
    Can your have two phones one Itunes??  Or should I just open a new Itunes account on her computer and "start" from scratch??  If I do the later, how do I transfer all the music on "my" Itunes to hers???

    You can sync as many iphone/ipads/ipods as you like to one computer/library.

  • Hi. I was given an iPod with hundreds of songs.  Now I have created my own iTunes account on my computer.  Is there any way of adding my iTunes to my existing iPad (someone else's iTunes account) without losing all of the songs already on my iPod?

    Hi there.  I was given an iPod loaded with hundreds of songs.  I have created an iTunes account on my computer. Is it possible to add the songs from my own iTunes account onto my iPod, which was created by someone else using their iTunes account, without losing all the songs on my iPod.  Probably a stupid question, but I am one of the "older" generation .... Thanks

    The The person who gave yo the iPod did not have the right/licence to also give you the media on the iPod. If you use it yo are stealing.
    Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content end Settings and set the iPod up with your media.

  • Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen.  Full Wifi signal on both devices

    Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen.  Full Wifi signal on both devices so can't think what could be causing it to happen. Any suggestions please?

    Sorry, I updated another thread I was a part of but didn't update my own thread.....ughhh!
    I updated all of my ATV 2's and 3's to the latest firmware when it was released and have been problem free since. I do believe the major issue of not being able to connect after a period of inactivity has been corrected with the latest ATV firmware.
    I can look at my network connection table using "netstat -an" in a CMD window and I do not see the massive number of connections I saw before the update.
    Here is a link to the other thread I was referring to above:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19952545#19952545
    Have you applied the latest firmware updates to your ATV 3's?

  • I can't access my itunes account on this computer it keeps coming up with an error code missing MSVCR80.dll

    I can't access my itunes account on this computer it keeps coming up with an error code missing MSVCR80.dll

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?

    Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

  • More than one device with one iTunes account and one computer

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and my husband has a iPhone 3 (I guess; its not the iPhone 4). We have different music tastes and do not want each others music (sometimes) on the other's device. But since we both use the same computer for iTunes we only have one account. Is this the best way to do this? Can you have more than 1 iTunes account on a computer?

    How do I upload my music from my iPhone 4 to my iTunes account on a computer operting Windows 7 (computer A)?  All of my music is in my iTunes account on another computer operating Windows 7 (computer b), but I can't seem to get my iTunes account on computer a to recognize the music on computer b (it is the same shared iTunes account), nor can I figure out how to get all of that music, which also is on my iPhone, transferred from my iPhone to computer a.

  • PC with iTunes account has virus, help!?

    Want to access account from other computers we have (all laptops).  Found the homeshare and tried to set up but can't see our account.  How do I get to account when the PC it was set up from is viral mess and not operational?!

    If you cannot access the computer that houses the media, there is nothing you can do.
    The media is only where you put it.
    Logging into an iTunes account on another computer has never made media content magically appear.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • Synching 2 3Gs iPhones to one iTunes account on one computer

    I have a few questions regarding synching two 3Gs iPhones with one iTunes account on one computer.
    I had synched both phones (mine and my wifes) to our desktop computer but saw that apps were being placed on both of our phones and contacts were being added to both and duplicated.
    1. If I try to synch my wifes iPhone to a her laptop with a new itunes account and it asks about erasing the data, will it get rid of the photos and contacts? I have looked this issue up and no one really seems to know.
    2. If I try to synch both iPhones to the desktop with the original itunes how do I avoid the issues of transposing apps, contacts being added to both? Several answers out on the Net say to make two seperate accounts. Does that mean two seperate "iTunes" accounts? Or two seperate profiles on the desktop computer.
    The main reason I need to do this is because my wifes iPhone is about two or three firmware updates behind. I would like to update her firmware and back up all of her apps and contacts. I am backing up her photos to Shutterfly just in case, because if something happened to those I might not be around to see iPhone 5. hahaha j/k
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    1. If you manually backup your wife's phone before you sync for the first time to the laptop, you can save all data and settings of the phone and restore from that backup again after the initial sync.
    Here's how to backup manually:
    Set up the same iTunes account on the laptop, disable autosync in iTunes/Settings/Devices.
    Connect the phone, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup" iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, to copy apps and purchased media to the new library.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

    How to back up and restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    How to download apps for free again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    2. If you're syncing both phones on one computer, either create a second user account on your computer, log in and do the same manual backup process as described above, or, take the time to set up each phone individually, including the settings for calendars and contacts, which apps to sync, etc.
    iTunes will remember the settings for each phone and you'll only have to do this once.
    You can only use apps on different devices if you're using the same account you did at the time you bought them.

  • Is there any way to have 2 different itunes accounts on one computer?

    I am trying to find out if you can have two different itunes accounts on one computer.  My boyfriend and I both have the iphone 4 but we share a computer.  Is it  possible to have two accounts on one laptop? And if so, how do i do it?

    Hi, Angela,  Take a look here:

    That should help. If you are referring to iTunes Store accounts, yes, you can have up to five iTunes Store accounts on a single system.
