How can I have 2 accounts from 1 itunes account?

We have an existing ipos touch account with my email that is linked to itunes.  We recently got an iphone and I wanted my son to have his own account with itunes separate from mine.  I changed one computer's itunes email address account then turned on sharing and now I am unable to use my old email and password to access my itunes. How can I create an account on one computer for my son and his ipod touch and maintain my itunes on another computer for only my iphone?

get him his own computer.

  • Can you have two different itunes account on the same computer

    how can you have 2 different itunes accounts on the same computer?

    You would need two seperate users on the computer. Then each library would be independent of each other. Or do you mean two seperate iTunes store accounts?

  • How can I share two differents Itunes accounts in my Apple TV ? I have one and my wife has another account and we want to share both in our apple tv. How can I do this ???

    I assume you have different iTunes collections on different PC's, or on different logins on the same PC?  If that's the case then just enable "Home Sharing" in each iTunes using the SAME iTunes username and password as you enabled home sharing on the Apple TV with. The account used for home sharing is NOT the same as the account used to access the iTunes store, so as long as you use the same account (pick one, doesn't matter which) then you should see both of yor iTunes libraries on the Apple TV. Note - each iTunes has ti be running in order for the Apple TV to see the library.
    Here's some details on how to do it:

  • How many accounts can I have on a itunes account?

    How may devices can i have on 1 itunes account?  And if I want to add another deviices?

    Bryan,
    According to iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to 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."

  • My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

    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.

  • HT1373 how can you set up another iTunes account but keep all your purchases and music from a previous account

    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.

  • Can I have a family Itunes account

    I have my own iTunes account and iCloud and all that.
    I have an iPhone and an iPad, using iTunes on Windows on my personal Laptop.
    My wife has an iPhone and iTunes with her own account. With her iTunes on her personal Laptop.
    We both have work laptops.
    Is there any way to consolidate our iTunes libaries and databases into one place.
    Can this be done with iMatch and iCloud?
    What I really want is to have is that we have one iTunes account that we can access from anywhere and that synch's to all our devices.
    that way we can share/create/edit playlists and all that from any device.
    Is there a way to merge both of our accounts into one family account or something?
    Or will I just have to trasnfer a libary from one to the other and we both use that Apple Id.
    Then enable home sharing and iMatch ?
    Will that do the trick?
    How many authrised computers and devices can you have on one iTunes account?
    Thanks

    Hi
    that helps alot
    so there is no Merge,
    What I need to do is transfer the contents of my wife’s library to my home PC.
    then get rid of her iTunes account.
    Set up her laptop with my account, setup her work laptop with my account, set up her iPhone with my account.
    Set up my work laptop with my account.
    that way, any purchased material will be available on all our devices?
    So, how do I now get rid of the huge database on my personal Laptop, I want to move it to a more reliable platform, An external Raid Network Hard disk, or use the iCloud.
    My understanding is that if I leave my Laptop on at home, and use home sharing and iMatch, then I will have effectively have moved my database to the cloud and home sharing allows all computers to access my local database.
    Is this the best solution - it seems very convoluted?

  • How can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud account.

    Hi All,
    I have setup icloud in my Iphone 6 running 8.1.2. and it is logged in by enabling Contacts in icloud settings. My contact list contains 1718 Contacts. I manually backed up my data into icloud including my contacts without Passbook & Documents data. But when i logged into iCloud.com to see the contacts it is not there.
    I also find when i checked only the Icloud contacts "there are no contacts showing in my contact list". I think this is the reason why there is no contacts in icloud web too. Then how can i move contacts from other accounts (eg: gmail,hotmail etc) to icloud.

    I assume you're using GMail as your primary e-mail account?  Try this.  This is how I am setup.  Not only will it move all your contacts to your phone but any changes made in GMail or on the iPhone will be sync'd with the server.
    http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740
    Note... I think this will delete your existing contacts from your device.  You will want to use iTunes to back them up and get them imported into GMail before you sync your device wtih GMail.

  • Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same mac?

    Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same account? I am having trouble accessing mine from my sons.

    Yes you can.
    The fact you cannot access your son's library from your User account is intentional. User accounts on your Mac are nearly as separate from each other as your Macs are from anyone else's on the planet. To copy music from his account to yours, first copy it to the Shared folder, then log into your account and import the music. Then, you can erase it from Shared.
    The Shared folder exists at /Users/Shared.

  • HT1660 How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device without erasing either set of data?

    How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device (iPhone 4) without erasing either set of data when syncing with itunes?

    Hi,
    Depends on what you trying to setup but for purchases, you can roll down at the very end of the iTunes/AppStore pages to logout of your current account and then login into a different one.  Then your purchase will be billded to this new account.  Everything will sync as you used to but in order to use the purchased content in iTunes or other devices, you will need to authorize them (you can have up to 5 devices authorized for an account).

  • HT2542 Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?

    I am wanting to download music to my Thunderbolt smart phone (i know, no iphone yet, next upgrade) and I want to use itunes to do it. My partner has an itunes account and I thought I opened my own itunes account, but apparently I didn't. I don't like the same music and only want to download music I like to my phone. Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?

    I'm confused
    Can we have two separate itunes accounts using the same mac?
    Can we just have one account and be able to download checked music from the itunes to multiple devices?
    Do you want one or two?
    By the way, and iTunes account is really the thing you use online to purchase music, not what you have on a computer.  You have user accounts on a computer, and you have iTunes libraries or collections of media.  You can have multiple user accounts on a computer.  You can have a single or multiple user accounts use a single or multiple libraries.  We need to know exactly what it is you have/want.

    Please explain further.
    You don't need an AppleID to access an iTunes library. An iTunes library is stored on your computer.
    Default location is /Music/iTunes/ folder.
