How do I manage several devices using different iTunes accounts?

Everytime I sign in to iTunes it defaults to one account and it stays on that account.  I want my own account and my wife wants her account.  We have two seperate accounts but it seems as though they have become one?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

  • I'm managing several devices from my itunes account.  If I delete a song from my iphone, will it also be deleted from other family member's devices and itunes?

    I'm managing several devices from my itunes account.  If I delete a song from my iphone, will it also be deleted from other family member's devices as well as in itunes?

    Ok, thanks!  I'm pretty new to having multiple apple products.  Another question though, if I delete, say Christmas music, from my device and it is still in itunes, will it automatically sync back to my device next time I sync it?

  • How can I use different iTunes accounts on one iPad?

    How can I use different iTunes accounts on one iPad?

    You can't, well not easily anyway.  The iPad is not meant as a multi account device. 
    You can Sign Out of your iTunes account in Settings->iTunes and App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out
    However if you sign in with another ID and then download past purchases with it you will lock out the previous ID for 90 days. Which means it will not be able to be used on the iPad for 90 days.

    If you enabled Find my iPhone then you should use that. If not, I'm afraid you're out of luck for finding it. 
    To manage your devices, go to Your Account in iTunes.

  • How to deactivate other phones from using my itunes account

    Please help how to deactivate other phones from using my itunes account?

    Hello Kirstyspencer
    I would sign out of your Apple ID on those devices and also change the password to your Apple ID. That should stop people from accessing and using your Apple ID.

  • Can we share music/apps within a family while using different iTunes accounts?

    Can we share music/apps within a family while using different iTunes accounts?
    Recently purchased iPhone 5 for my wife and I + my daugther has an iPod.  I'd like for us all to have separate iTunes accounts so we can each use iCloud without getting each other's notifications, but would like to have one central repository for mucsic and apps.  I'm afraid if I set up iTunes accoutn for the tow of them, I'll have to re-purchase the music and apps (way too many!)

    It can be done, but you will have to sign in to your account on her itunes to updated the apps. Try these instructions:

  • How do I make a purchase using my Itunes account?

    How do I make a purchase using my Itunes account?
    Help any body.

    What happens when you click on the price button, what prompts/messages appear ? If you have a balance on your account then that will automatically be used for the purchase, you can't specify how items are charged.
    If when clicking on the price button you are being prompted to review and log into the account then unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method  - Apple Suppor…
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If that is what is happening then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you review your account without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
    If not then try entering your card's details, it shouldn't be charged (apart from a temporary store holding charge which your card issuer should remove within a few days or so), and you should be able to remove the card after entering it.

  • HT204074 How do I remove a device from my itunes account?

    I am trying to remove my daughter's ipod from my account as she broke it and we are replacing it with a new one.  I no longer want it listed as one of my devices.  However, there is NO "Manage Devices" option anywhere on my screen!!!  I have looked everywhere and cannot see that?  On the tech support page it says just go to the "Manage Devices" and remove it???  HELP!
    thanks for any advice!

    De-authorize it. Or check the instructions given in the Learn about link at the top of this topic. Also check the links below the heading "More Like This" on the right side of the page.
    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • How can I have two devices with separate iTunes accounts on the same computer without sharing libraries?

    I have an iPhone 3s and my sister has an iPhone 3.  We use them only as iPods.  We each have our own iTunes account, but we have to share a computer.  How can we both syn our devices without sharing our music and app libraries?

    The most reliable way would be to set up individual user accounts in WIndows. Then each of your iTunes libraries will be completely separate.
    Regards.

  • How to find an older device on my itunes account and transfer to a new computer

    I had an itunes account on my laptop and my laptop broke how can I transfer my itunes account to a new computer and find my old devices on it?

    What are you talking about?
    An account is just a username and password with which you purchase content.
    You can sign into your account from any computer/device with itunes.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put your content on your new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries.

    No idea what you mean by "find my old devices on it"

  • How do you add a device to your itunes account

    I am trying to add an old inactive iphone to my itunes account to use for my kids as an itouch type device. Itunes says you can have up to ten devices on one account but when I try to add a device it wants to sync it with my current iphone.

    First :

    Then restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod on the computer your kids will use:

  • How do I add a device to my iTunes account?

    I just got an iPhone 5S and I have an existing iTunes account from my iPod.  I went into mange devices on iTunes but  I only see the option of deleting a device, not adding.  So how do I add one then?

    Hi, Colbly. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    You would just need to sign into your Apple ID through Settings > iTunes & App Store to associate your device to your Apple ID.  This will give you access to all your previous purchases made with your Apple ID.  You may be asked to answer your security questions as an authentication method on new purchases with the device.
