How can I add a new iTunes account without losing all my music on my iPhone?
Currently, all of my family's purchases are through my wife's iTunes account. As such, both of our iPhones are synced with iTunes through that account. I would like to add an account just for me, but I also don't want to lose all of the music we've purchased so far. Is this possible?
Thanks for that...

My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?
There is no reason to add a second iTunes account to the iPad unless your sons want to use their own credit cards for purchases and somehow I don't think is the case here.
Anyway.... Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap that ID and sign out. Then tap sign in and tap Create new Apple ID.
If your sons sync with one iTunes library on a computer, it can get a little confusing with two IDs. If either of them has their own iPod and they have been sharing purchased content with the one Apple ID, it gets a little more complicated as well with two IDs. -

Hello,
I can´t start my new iTunes account without insert credit card number.
I have my new Apple ID, star itunes and to log for the firt time, becouse it´s firt time I need to agree with to terms of use and next need to give my credit card numbers which I do not want to do. But without this information will not let me go, what can I do?
Thanks for your help!Hi Limnos,
I already have an Apple ID, the problem is how to use it in iTunes for the first time without asking for credit card.
Your solution is to create a new Apple ID but I've already got one, how can I use it?
Thank´s. -
how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account
An iTunes account is something you log into online to buy music.
An iTunes library is a collection of media and other items (including apps) on your computer. This is what you see when you open iTunes.
So, do you mean account or library? You can set up a new iTunes account but all your purchases made in that account will remain in the old account and cannot be moved. You can set up a new library by starting iTunes and immediately hold down the option key. -
How do I switch my 6th generation over to my new iTunes account and put all my songs from my iPhone onto it?
The iphone is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back. -

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. -

How do i update to itunes 11 without losing all my music
How do I update to Itunes 11 without losing all my stuff on my current itunes (10.6.3)
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You won't lose songs when you update iTunes to the most recent version, but I recommend you to make a copy of your library in another folder. After updating, open iTunes and it will update the library to use it with the most recent version -

Can I move an IPad to a new iTunes account without losing the apps?
I currently have two devices on my itunes account, and would like to move one the devices to a new itunes account (not mine). Is it possible to do this without losing all of the apps that have been acquired on that device?
You can only have one library per user account on a PC/Mac.
So, if you need to create a new library, then create a new user, and transfer the content you want over to that new user. Then sync.
Can you clarify a little more what you're needing? -
Create new iTunes account without losing previously purchased content?
My husband and I both have iPhone's but currently share one iTunes account from which all music, apps, etc. have been purchased from. As time goes on, it is getting harder to manage; therefore we want to create a separate account. Is there a way to create a new Apple ID for his phone without losing the existing content that has already been purchased?
There is nothing that prevents having iTunes content that was downloaded with more than one Apple ID or iTunes account on one device.
She needs to register her computer with the new Apple ID with iTunes.
All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID or iTunes account that was used to download the apps. This means in order to install an app update for an app that was downloaded with the existing Apple ID, she will need to use that Apple ID and password or she will be prompted for it when doing so.
iTunes on your computer allows for transferring iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iOS device.
