How can i have my 2 i phones on a seperate apple account on the same computer.

I have two i phones my own and my wifes on my i tunes account but want to have them seperate on the same laptopas currently cannot use i message as i send an i meesage from my wife to myself. I am sure others have had this problem.

No one got any ideas ? Have i explained my problem well ?
I guess another way of phrasing the question would be if I were to re-format my hide drive and re-install everything, what files would I need to save in order for my itunes to work in exactly the same way and have the same settings as before the re-format.

  • Can you have 2 seperate iphone accounts on the same computer?

    Can you have two seperate iphone accounts on the same computer??? please help?

    Yes. If you want separate iTunes accounts, the easiest way is to set up 2 users on the computer, each with their own iTunes library.
    If the two phones share the same iTunes account this is not necessary.

  • HT1711 Can I have 2 seperate itunes accounts on the same computer?

    Can I have 2 seperate itunes accounts on the same computer?

    Yes. If you mean Apple IDs, log in and out as needed. If you mean iTunes libraries, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose or create one, or use separate Windows user accounts.

  • How can I move my DRM-protected movies from one disk to another on the same computer without running afoul of the big movie houses?

    I need to off-load my digital copies to another disk I just bought, located on the same computer, so I can have more room for other things; my collection is getting too big, I guess.  I'm afraid if I just move them and re-integrate them back into the iTunes library, it will mess up the DRM status and lock me out entirely.  I'm hoping it won't treat this exercise as one of my allocated copies and increment the counter counting device transfers.  Any ideas as to how to safely do this (without hacking, etc.)?
    Thanks.

    is this second library in a different account on the computer?

  • How do I share new purchased itunes content automatically between multiple user accounts on the same computer?

    I have 3 different user accounts set up on the same computer. Whenever one of us buys or downloads anything, how can I get that to be automatically available for each of the other users? The main itunes library is stored at users/shared/itunes, but this doesn't seem to help much. As far as I can gather, Home Sharing only works between computers, not between users on the same computer......

    is that the iTunes folder or just the iTunes media (or music) folder ?
    what should work is if the entire iTunes folder were in the shared folder and iTunes on each user account would access the same library file
    launch iTunes on each user account (one at a time) while holding the option (⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder you copied to the shared folder.
    if user A adds content, this will be available to the others immediately when they access the library, however, only one iTunes at a time can use the library. if you're using fast user switching, user A must quit iTunes before user B can fire it up.

  • Can u/how do u  share playlists between different apple accounts on the same computer?

    My other half has own iphone    how do I share i tunes with 2 different phones and 2 itunes ids

    First thing you need to do is disable auto syncing in iTunes. This is from Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, etc.
    Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is set up separate log in accounts for the laptop. This will allow you to have iTunes in each log in and they can have different content. iTunes cannot have separate content with the same log in and different Apple ID, but you can manage two phones with the same iTunes account. See if any of the information in this support document will help you http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495 but the best solution is separate computer log in.

  • Ok... So can you have two seperate itunes accounts on the same computer?

    My dad is getting an ipod for christmas... and well I don't want him on iTunes draining all of my money. Is there a way that you can have two seperate accounts on one computer?

    Yes. If you want separate iTunes accounts, the easiest way is to set up 2 users on the computer, each with their own iTunes library.

    I want to have a second user account on my imac (OS 10.6) that can access folders and files in the first user's account and the reverse.  I also want both users to have access to the same Safari and Firefox bookmarks.

    yes there can be two different accounts authorized. Sign into your account and authorize your purchases. You will however use the same music library.

  • How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    In case you didn't fully understand what dallon meant, it means another user account on your computer. You set that up in Windows and then instal iTunes onto that account.
    That way, you each have your own desktop and your own itunes. You can link to the songs in the other person's library as well, but you cannot run both iTunes at the same time. (That simply means you need to close it on the first account before opening it on the second account.)
