How do I add a second iTunes account to my computer?

my wife and I share the same itunes account and I'd like to have my own account. Is it possible to create a new account on our shared macbook? Thanks

Create a new AppleID (or use a different one if you are already doing so), then sign onto the iTunes Store that way and set up payment etc.
There's many other aspects to this question, including if you want this all to go to the same library, the same user account on the computer, etc.
Warning: For the purposes of redownloading items (make sure you understand redownload vs. first time download) you can only change primary AppleID associated with a computer every 90 days. For other things such as buying new items there is no restriction.
Items purchase under one account cannot be transferred to another. you will still always have to use the old ID for any purchase you made under that ID.

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.

Can I add a second itunes account to my computer?

I want to load my dad's new ipod for him, and then move the account to his computer. Is this possible?

"Can I have 2 separate accounts on one PC,"
Yes. not sure why you would want two accounts, but you can if you like.
" Can she share my music files? "
Yes. Not sure why you wouldn't just use one account and library, but you can if you like.

How can I add a second iTunes account on our iPad3 ?

Or transfer the downloads from one account to the other ?

You can but you will have to log in to each account whenever you update each app.
It becomes a major pain trying to keep track of what account bought what and which password do you put in.

How do I add a second email account to my iCloud mail, like a POP account?

I talked with Apple and they have taken away the ability to check other email addresses on iCloud like you could in MobileMe via POP or whatever.
Not sure why I would use iCloud if I can't check all of my email there, and I'm certainly not going to configure four POP accounts on my phone, my laptop, ipad, and work computer...
Bummer...I'm going back to Gmail.

How do I remove a second iTunes account that pops up when update an app on my iOS device?

I used a second iTunes account a while back to buy apps. Now whenever I update my phone, it would ask for both accounts. I removed all the apps I bought from my 2nd account already and it would still ask for the 2nd account's password whenever I update apps on my phone. Im afraid that if i put the password on the 2nd account also that it might download/update the app using that and that I will be double billed. how do I stop this from happening? I don't mind not using the second Account at all anymore as I don't really have a lot of apps connected to it.

The apps were purchased with that iTunes account.
If you select an app, then right click - get info, it will show which account it was purchased with.

How do I get my music from my account on old computer to new computer? And how do I have two seperate itunes accounts on one computer?

I had my music on my itunes on my old computer (pc), and need to move it to my husband's computer. My husband and I both have iphones and want to keep using our seperate itunes accounts on one computer, as we both have our own media set up on our accounts. I had burned my music from the old computer onto discs and imported onto the new one...works in the library but I can't put them into playlists, which means I can't put the music on my iphone. As for using two seperate accounts on one computer, it was suggested to me to make another profile on windows (vista), and use the second account on that profile. I did that and have had such a frustrating time trying to get this to work. I don't know if I've done something wrong, but it's just headache after headache. Somehow my apps even ended up on my husband's account? Also, how can we share music between our profiles? It seems ridiculous that we should have to buy an album twice just because we have to different accounts. I would be willing to create a third joint account with my husband, but only if we can still have our own music, apps, etc, and can somehow transfer the music we have to this new account...if possible. Suggestions please???? I'm so close to pulling out my hair over this!!!

You'll need to copy the music currently on your iPod to your new PC and into iTunes first before you can sync it to the new iPod.
