  • How do I create a second itunes account?

    Is it possible to create a second account on itunes for my daughter with her separate ipod but using the same computer?  It seems like it automatically syncs. 

    Thank you! That worked.  However, I am now trying to "share" my itunes stuff.  I can get it to show the songs or playlists I wish to share and she can play them on the computer, but she (daughter) cannot bring them into her stuff or save them to her ipod.  OR, I can give her access to bring it into her stuff, but it only shows ALL of my stuff, which I really don't want my 11 year old to have access to all the songs I have.  Not to mention, I have a lot of songs and don't want to have to sift through them all.  I already have a created playlist that I would like to give to her.  Is this just the way it works?? Or am I doing something wrong?

    On the device you do not want the auto downloads to be installed on: Settings/iTunes & App Store. Deselect what you do not want to be automatically downloaded.

  • How do i add a second itunes account on same email

    How do i add a second itunes account on the same email address?

    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.

  • How do I create a new Itunes account for my external HD?

    Hi. I am a graduate student with a huge amount of music files for academia.  I store the academia music files on my external HD, since it will just take up too much space on my computer.  I wanted to create a separate Itunes account just for my external HD music files.  How do I go about doing this? I tried to set it up and created a new account, but it automatically synced to my computer Itunes and I ended up deleting all of my personal music, video and reading articles on my personal itunes account.

    As a graduate student you will quickly learn the importance of exact terminology.  I presume your colleague told you to copy the "iTunes folder".  You can't copy just iTunes (well, you can, but it isn't easy).  Saying "iTunes" on its own refers to the application itself, not the library.
    You do not need to make a new account.  This again gets confusing unless you tell us exactly what you did.  As I said before, an "iTunes account" is something you log into to make a purchase from the iTunes Store.  A "computer account" is a whole new user area on your computer and isn't made on a different hard drive.  An "iTunes library" is a collection of files and folders that generate the window you see when you start the iTunes application.
    I do not know how you are ending up with two icons on the dock.  While it is possible to do that it isn't at all normal unless you somehow are running two copies of iTunes at the same time.  That is exceedingly difficult to do and people have unsuccessfully tried and would like to know how you did it.
    You can have two independent libraries and there won't be any crosssover from one to the other.  I have four on my computer.  Use the procedure I outlined earlier to create a second library and to switch between them.
    I was a graduate student many years ago and one  of the first things I learned to do so I didn't lose years of research  was to make multiple backup copies of anything I generated by computer,  especially before performing any major changes to the computer such as  installing new software or substantial file rearrangement.  I kept several  copies in different buildings on campus and a copy at home in another  part of town just in case the campus was wiped out by a disaster.

  • How do I create a 2nd iTunes account on the same computer?

    I have an iPhone tied to one computer.  I have a second iPhone that I need to use the same computer to be able to back it's data up.  Do I need to create a 2nd iTunes account on the same computer?  If so, how do i do this?  Thanks.    

    No, creating a 2nd iTunes account is not necessary.

  • How do I create 2 seperate iTunes account for me and my daughter

    I already have a iTunes account. Just got my daughter a  iPod...BUT I don't know how to create a seperate iTunes account for her on the same computer. I do not want her to have my play list and visa versa.

    Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and create a new library, or use separate Windows user accounts. This isn't the same as using different iTunes Store accounts.

  • 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 create a new iTunes account while keeping my old account?

    I have an iTunes account with an Email address that I can no longer access. I have forgotten my password. Apple will not allow me to change my Email address so I cannot change my existing account at this time. I have purchased a lot of music and I do not want to delete the music.  I hope that someday in the far far future, Apple's policy will change and I can reclaim the music that I purchased.
    Anyway, I want to create a new iTunes account without deleting my old account. Is this possible?
    Thanks!

    Howdy! I have tried to change my Email address with Apple. Since I cannot access my old Email address, they will not let me change my password. Since I cannot recall my old password, they will not allow me to change my Email address. I am in a true Catch 22.

  • HT2486 How do I create a second, separate address book on Mac?

    How do I create a second, separate address book on my iMac? Is it possible?

    Unless you are willing to continually do an export of one contacts database and import of the other, switching back and forth, you'll either need to use some third-party contacts application or maintain two separate user accounts in Mac OS X. The built-in Address Book/Contacts application does not allow multiple address books.

    I am trying to convert my existing iTunes account which uses an Earthlink address. The following is the INSTRUCTIONS from the Apple web site on how to do this.
    "I just signed up for .Mac. How do I convert my existing iTunes account to

    We'll be happy to convert your account for you. Please provide your old account name, your new .Mac account name and your billing address in your email. We will also need your explicit permission to reset your password to complete the conversion."

    I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE!
    I am now on my fifth exchange of emails with iTunes support.
    HAS ANYBODY SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTED THESE INSTRUCTIONS? I don't want to lose the ability to play my existing purchased music, but I want to close down Earthlink as my ISP.

    On any page in the iTunes Store, click the flag icon at the lower right.  This brings up a page saying "Choose your country or region."  Click Canada.
