How can two apple id,s use same itunes software on same computer, how can two apple id,s use same itunes software on same computer
how can two family members use same itunes download with two different apple id's? how do you change user within itunes?
Both accounts can be authorised on the same iTunes (Store > Authprise This Computer), but only one account can be signed in at a time for downloading or purchasing content - if you want to purchase or download with the other id then you'll need to sign out of the current one (Store > Sign Out) and then sign in with the other one (Store > Sign In)
You can also have your own separate iTunes libraries on the same computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495

I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.
Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
Game Center settings - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9a13d039
Game Center settings
Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
Allow invites
Let nearby players find you
Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.

We have two Ipods and an Iphone. We usually just use my Apple ID for everything on each device. However, when downloading games to the game center, we have to use my Apple Id and then it automatically sets up my game center username on my daughter's Ipod. But she wants to play some of the same games that I do but she can't because my username keeps coming up.
How do I add another Apple ID to the same email address or create another user id for the game center?
Thanks!I don't believe you can do that; here is some info:

I'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't update my free software downloaded on both, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOT OWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how i can update my softwares on ipad & ipod using the same apple id
I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update. -
We have a large family, 5 kids and two adults all with iPads, iPhones, Mac Books, Servers.... How can we combine our purchases to use on all our devices. We have two Apple ID's and sometimes buy multiple copies because of how we are limited...
Hello Halfback71,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5622
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Best of luck,

I just got my Mac and I used my family Apple ID. It had all of my parent's information, I added my e-mail.I wanted to make my own Apple ID, but I couldn't use the same e-mail address again! How do I delete this information so I can make my own Apple ID?

It is not clear how or where you "added" your email, but you cannot create an Apple ID using an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID.
If that is what you did, delete that email address from your family's Apple ID. You should be free to create a new one.
Do all that by starting here: https://appleid.apple.com/
Select "Manage your Apple ID". Log in with your family's Apple ID and then delete your own email address wherever it appears.
Save Changes, log out, and create the new one using the same website. This time select "Create an Apple ID".
Please don't forget your security questions, and be sure to specify a "rescue email address" that is separate from all other Apple IDs. You will avoid so many problems that way... -

Me and my daughter are using the same Apple id and we share the same iCloud account. I want to change her Apple id so that she will have her own icloud account and I will have mine.
1. how do I do it?
2. how do I transfer her stuff which is in my icloud storage to her new icloud account once this one is created?
thanks,
AriTo migrate her device to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep to her amera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow, then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If she is syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of the notes and email them to her so she can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in her new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
Once you are on separate accounts you can each go to icloud.com from a computer and delete the other person's data from your account. -
Family of 5, all use the same Apple ID/Password/Account. In settings/messages/send>recieve you can "check" my email and up to three phone numbers. Essentially allowing all iMessages to be copied to shared account numbers. Please help me figure out how to prevent my children from recieving my text correspondence.
On the devices for the members of your family that you DO NOT want to see your iMessagees, go to
Settings App
Messages
Send and Receive
You should see a list of available contacts which would make messages appear. Make certain that each family member has their own individual contact and NOT the same one that you use. I find it useful to have each family member have their own icloud email and use that for iMessaging my kids. My kids do not have iPhones, but if yours do, their phone number should be listed as well. For iPads and iTouches, use icloud email addresses. If you need to send a message to all 3 kids, say, you can just add all three emails to the To box on your iMessage.
Hope that makes sense. -

I just ordered an ipad air and I have an ipad 2. Can someone help me so I can use both ipads from the same computer. The new one is for my husband and I am going to take the ipad 2. Do I have to do something different since they will be using the same computer. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
It's no problem. I hope this explanation simplifies the information in the Link Demo gave you. It's how I think most people do it...
To avoid having to pay again for apps you have already purchased, use the same Apple ID (likely the current one) on both devices. You can adjust this in:
Settings > iTunes & App Store.
So that you can communicate with each other, use separate Apple IDs for iCloud, Messages, and FaceTime. Adjust those in:
Settings > iCloud
Settings > Messages

Hello mqg13,

How do you mean "share iTunes content?" You are able to purchase and download from one Apple ID on multiple devices, simply follow the steps in the article below:

I have windows 8.1 and cannot access itunes store even creating a new apple id. With other users on the same computer I can access itunes store. How can I solve this?
i had the same problem before using a fresh install of Windows 8.1. I have resolved this issue by running the program compatibility wizard. This I did by right-clicking on the iTunes icon in the desktop, selecting Troubleshoot compatibility, waited for it to detect compatibility issues and when presented with the following options: 1.) Try recommended settings; 2.) Troubleshoot program, I chose the latter. When asked what problems I noticed, I checked the following: "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run" and "The program requires additional permission"
After that, it tired to resolve the issue, and provided the necessary settings to run iTunes. Now it's running flawlessly. I have Avast anti-virus installed though.

I have my personal music (not purchased from Itunes) stored in two locations, on my PC and on an external HD. How can I find out which directory itunes uses to access this music? I am using Itunes version 11.4.0.18. Thanks
Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.
