How do I set up two seperate iTunes accounts?

I have an iPhone and iTunes account. How do I add my partners iPhone so she can have her own apps etc.?

You would each need to use your own user account on the Mac, you can do this at system preferences > users & groups.

    How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone (with separate info on each of course) ? Can this be done? A little step by step would be greatly appreciated; just short step by step though, I can follow fairly well.

    So, when the other iTunes account needs to be used, I should log out of Windows and have the other user log in under a different Windows account, correct?  
    M Parker, 
    Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do.

    I have a MacBook and want to run two distinct ITunes accounts with different libraries and billing.  How do I do that?

    You need to use separate Apple IDs and Mac OS X user accounts.

  • Setting up two seperate itunes accounts on one computer

    I just bought my mom an ipad. How do I set up an itunes account for her on my mac where I already have one for myself? We do not necessarily read the same books or listen the same music, so I'd like them seperate, yet on my computer. A person told me "just make a new acount"... ok, but I don't see where that new account option is?!

    Just for clarification, Niel's directions set up a new user account on the computer with its own iTunes library, not an iTunes "account" as such.  "Account" is a misnomer. iTunes itself doesn't have accounts on the computer (yes, the store has accounts but that  isn't on your computer).  You can create multiple libraries with collections of media under one computer user account but this can be tricky to manage and you may be best off creating a user account for your mother with her own iTunes collection in that.  It is possible to share things on the computer.

  • How do I set up two different Itunes accounts on the same computer

    I have one PC laptop and my daughter and I both have IPhone 4's.  I want to sync both phones using the same computer but want totally different accounts so that I don't have her music, aps, etc and vice versa.  I've tried this many many times and can never seem to get it right.  If I sign out of my ITunes account and then plug her phone into my computer, it syncs my stuff onto her phone.  HELP!

    First thing you need to do is disable auto syncing in iTunes. This is from Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, etc.
    Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is set up separate log in accounts for the laptop. This will allow you to have iTunes in each log in and they can have different content. iTunes cannot have separate content with the same log in and different Apple ID, but you can manage two phones with the same iTunes account. See if any of the information in this support document will help you http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495 but the best solution is separate computer log in.

  • Can I use the same music file for two accounts to be able to set up two different iTunes accounts?

    I would like to set up two different Itunes accounts on my mac.  I would like to have different accounts for my wife and I so that our devices have different accounts/contacts/email and stuff but we would like to use the same music library.  Can I set the different itunes to go to the same file to see music?  Or could I copy the music file and give the copy to the second itunes account?  I could set it up and authorize the music like for another user?  Is any of this possible?

    Hello 19firedude
    Try moving the entire iTunes Media folder to the Shared folder on your Mac and then in iTunes preferences, change the location of that folder to line it up. Then all you have to do in another user is follow the second set of steps to get that shared properly. Check out the article below for more detailed instructions.

  • Playing movies on two seperate iPhones with two seperate iTunes accounts

    I have an iPhone 4 and 4S.  We have two seperate iTunes accounts.  I attempt to move movies to the iPhone 4 from account #1 and i get a message which says this device cannot play this content.  My iPhone 4S will play content from both iTunes accounts #1 and #2.  I must be missing something in the software.  How do I activate two iTunes accounts on one device?  My 4S has had apps from both accounts #1 and #2 on it before.  The iPhone 4 does not have any apps from the account #1.  Somehow one device is allowing content from 2 seperate iTunes accounts and the other is not.

    Hello Schurly
    Yes you can, you can have up to 5 computers authorized for playback on purchases. If you have not purchases, then there is nothing to worry about there as well.

  • Can I set up two different ITunes accounts on the same computer?

    Is it possible to set up two separate ITunes accounts on one computer and yet share some of the same songs in the Library?

    Yes create two users on that computer
    One for each account, and then you will have 2 itunes libraries.
    Control Panel, user accounts, add new account (give it admin rights).
    Log off and then log in with the new account.
    Make sure you log out and not switch accounts when moving between the two users.

  • How do i set up 2 seperate cloud accounts on my mac

    how do i set up 2 seperate icloud accounts each with seperate apple ids on my mac??

    Set up the first in the usual way. Set up the second one in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars - this will be the 'secondary account' - this does not have 'push' email but checks the email periodically, and you can't use Photo Stream with it.
    Note that any one device can create only three iCloud accounts.
