How can my wife and I share our iTunes account?
My wife has an iTunes account as do I, but we are ideally trying to combine them so that we have a central iTunes library that we can both pull from. Is this possible? We are on Windows Vista platform outside of our apple products.
We have 2 iPhones and several iPods.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to consolidate them into a single Apple ID?
At this time, Apple IDs cannot be consolidated.

a single iTunes can be authorized for up to 5 iTunes store accounts !

How can my wife and I combine our iTunes?
My wife and I have been dragging our feet and have finally broke down and want to have one iTunes to manage both of our music and sync our iPhones with. However, I cannot figure out how to do this, without one of us just giving up our music that we have purchased through iTunes. Please help!
Copy all of your music to one computer. Authorize it for all your accounts. Purchase using one account from here on out.

Can my wife and I merge our iTunes accounts?
It would make life a lot easier if my wife and I could merge our two iTunes accounts. Is this possible?

As Katrina notes, you cannot merge accounts. If by any chance what you really mean is to merge libraries, then yes you can. Find the songs on the hard drive and add them into the library that you will both be using. -

If you each have separate iCloud accounts with different IDs, you can add the other person's account to your device(s) by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with their ID. These "secondary accounts" will sync mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.

My wife and I share one itunes account with separate libraries. When I sync her iphone in her library, it adds all of my iphone contacts to her contact list. How can we avoid this?
Make groups of contacts in your Address Book and select the option to sync only selected groups to each phone.

How can my wife and I use our two iTunes accounts on one IPad
Unfortunately it will be difficult. iPads are personal devices like phones and done have credentials. You can of course log out of and into the app store to download purchased apps but the iPad will then have all the apps of both your wife and you (though you could put these into folders I guess).

How can my wife access all of our iTunes music, even if she subscribes to iTunes Match, if her Apple ID is different than mine?
I do subscribe to iTunes Match.....and the music i am referring to is all of our downloaded albums and songs that are currently in iTunes and in the "cloud" on my iPhone and my iPad.
So if she uses my Apple ID for her iPhone, she can sign up for iTunes Match on my account? Will any of my apps then transfer to her phone? Or just the iTunes "data"? -

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?
It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
Thank you in advance.FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).

Will we have to create a seperate account for her, or can we all have the same one?
You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own. -

My wife and I share an itunes account, so when I purchase music on my phone it should go to her phone and
also to her macbook .... how do I set this up to happen?On the computer: Click the iTunes menu (by the apple) >> Preferences >> Store. Check off the items you want in the Automatic Download section.
On the iOS device: Settings >> iTunes and App Stores. Turn on the items you want under Automatic Downloads. -

My daughter and I share our iTunes account.
But it dawned on me that this will be a problem when she goes to college. Can I possibly start her a new iTunes account and then have her have all the music that we have gathered together over the last 5 years in her account and mine?
My friend was trying to explain how to do this, but I am just looking for a step by step, hold my hand tutorial or something. My daughter will be devastated to lose all of our music that we share.
Thanks!iCloud is designed to be used by one user with all their devices "linked" together. Your daughter needs to have her own icloud account. Using one Apple ID for an iTunes account is a different situation, you can certainly share the account with your daughter. That way she can access purchased items without paying again.
If she already has another icloud account, and wants to set it up on her device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that she wants to use.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
As for your lost contacts, they are gone. You only hope is if the contacts were also on your computer and (if gone now) you have made frequent backups of the computer (like using Time Machine on a mac). Just restore the contact files back to your computer. -
My boyfriend and I both share an itunes together on my mac book pro, is there away to have seperate apple ID's but both are connected to the shared itunes and have access to all of our purchases? I am asking this becaue since my boyfriend and I both have iphones, we keep revieving each others messages and conversations, and not only is it annoying, but it is an invashion of privacy both ways, on his side and mine. What do we do?
Can you even change your apple ID on your iphone without losing your contacts, apps, music etc..? Can you even have two apple ID's on one shared itunes? Some help me out here, I am so confused.All apps and purchases are linked to your apple ID, so you can't share them across 2 devices that are using different apple id's, it won't work. the purchases that are on your mac at the moment will only work with the apple id they were brought with.
the only thing thats possible to share is purchased music. you have to first covert it to mp3 within itunes, then your bf can import it into his own itunes library and sync with his phone.
