How do I switch from my iTunes account to my wife's?

I have two MacBook Air's registered to my Apple ID and my wife and I have been sharing an iTunes account tied to my Apple ID.  Now that she finally has an iPhone after my iPhone 5S purchase, we decided it would be easier to "register" one MBA to her Apple ID and sync her iPhone and iPad mini to her iTunes account on that MBA.  How do I untether her iPad from my iTunes account, and how do I accomplish the transfer of the MBA and her iPad and iPhone to her Apple ID and iTunes account, respectively, without wiping out the MBA and starting over?  Thank you in advance.  I've been really struggling with this.

Doublechecking, tex ... are you using the following instructions to create backup DVDs for migration to the work PC? (The plan being that you then take those to the work PC and then "Restore" the backup to the different PC?)

... or are you using a different sort of technique?

    How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I assume you do mean a different account and not simply a different iTunes library. Unfortunately, in order to switch accounts, you would need to log out and log in to the second account.

  • How to transfer my iPad from my iTunes account to my wife on her iTunes account.

    Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, iTunes 11.0.1.  Want to give my wife my iPad2.  Don't want to share apps or songs; already reset the iPad2 and removed the apps.  We have separate iTunes accounts.  However, when i go into my iTunes account and go to the Manage Account screen, there is no option to list or remove devices, which i thought was supposed to be there.  How do i remove the iPad2 from my iTunes account and then register/authorize it under her iTunes account?

    Go to settings, App Store on ipad and click on the account listed then sign out. You should then be able to sign in with hers.

  • HT2688 how to transfer music from my itunes account to my husbands new iphone

    I have an existing itunes account which my husband had purchased music on and now he has a new iphone and, of course, his own itunes account.  I have synced but have only managed to download all his apps to my computer...but he still has no music.  I have turned on the home share but still hasn't worked.  when I've looked online for assistance it says to "turn on the settings for iphone>settings>ipod... well has has no ipod (other than nike + ipod), so I went to settings>music>and signed in to home sharing with his own account ID and PW.... any body have a solution?

    I'm confused.
    You don't transfer music from an iTunes account. You transfer it from an iTunes library. Plug in the phone and sync it.

    Okay.
    I have synced but have only managed to download all his apps to my computer...but he still has no music.
    You have sync'd your iPhone or his iPhone?
    I have turned on the home share but still hasn't worked
    Are you trying to Home Share between different computers?
    Or between iTunes libraries on the same computer?
    Are you using the same computer? Different computers?
    Are you using the same computer login or do you each have your own?
    If he purchased music previously on your account, is this music in your iTunes library? His iTunes library? Is there only one iTunes library?

  • How to switch from one iTunes account to another on iPad ?

    Hi there, I was using an old iTunes account until it went all weird. So I created a new iTunes account and I'm wondering how to get these onto my iPod touch 4th gen and iPad 1st gen ? It comes up under the iTunes store ( at the bottom ) but when I go to update the apps that are required for update, the old username comes up ..... ANY help  to solve this problem would be GREATLY appreciated !!! Thanks

    Those apps are tied to that ID, you can't transfer them to a new account.

  • My daughter wants to switch from my iTunes account to one of her own.

    I removed her phone from the devices list under my iTunes account, but how do I move her phone to a new account? I created a new Apple ID for her but the phone still wants to synch with my Apple ID. Will she lose everything currently in her library once we switch to an account of her own? Thank you in advance!

    I have signed in to her new account in the iTunes store, and plugged in her phone, but upon synching her phone, I think it is still synching with my account. Does that make sense? Even if it results in her losing everything (not too much invested) , how do I know her phone is synching with her new iTunes account?

  • How to transfer music from one itunes account to another on the same computer

    How do I transfer iTunes music to another comp account on the same comp. I have Windows 7 and I made my own Windows account. all of my music is on the iTunes on the other admin. account. So how do i transfer all of my stuff on iTunes to my own account? I've tried going into Preferences then advance but that's not doing anything. I signed into my account on iTunes but that didn't seem to help. Please give me something simple and not too long. I'm trying to do this as quick as possible lol. thanks in advance!
    I'm running the lastest iTunes. I just upgraded it today.

    Move the music files or the entire iTunes library to a shared folder.
    If you moved individual files, open iTunes from the desired account and drag them to the library in the iTunes application window.
    If you moved the entire library, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose that instance of it.

  • How to burn songs from one itunes account to import into a new itunes acct

    I have set up seperate playlists for my children under my itunes account. However, my son is now older and receiving itunes gift cards and we want to set up his own itunes account but don't want to loose the songs we have purchased for him under my itunes account. We want these songs to still be available for him to sync to his ipod so we think we need to burn the songs to a disk so they can then be imported into his new itunes account. He doesn't want to loose track of his itunes money nor do I want him to be able to purchase songs using my itunes acct credit card info without my knowledge, therefore, we think we need to set up a new itunes account for his personal use. Any guidance would be appreciated!

    Not necessary. If you want to copy song files to a new computer, copy them to a USB flash drive, and then from the flash drive to the new computer.

    He should definitely have his own iTunes library, be it on the shared computer or on his own computer. As for a separate account in the iTunes Store, that is really up to you, depending how the family shares.

  • How to transfer purchase from one iTunes account to another

    For a while I've been buying content through my mom's iTunes account, and just recently set up my own account. However I purchased a season of "Game of Thrones" while I was still using her account, and can only access the season through iCloud if I'm on her account. I was wondering if there was a way to still keep the purchase I made but switching it under another account (without having to buy it on the new account). The file of the purchase is on the same computer and will remain on the same computer, but just a different iTunes/iCloud user.

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll switch it. They probably won't.

  • How do i switch my old itunes account to my new icloud account??

    My apps wont update because they are with the wrong account and i cant just merge my two accounts or delete one of them

    sorry,  At this point there is not way to switch or merge the accounts.
    Until apple gives us that option there is nothing you can do other than update both accounts.
    I know, it's stupid, but until apple gets that option all of us with more than one account are stuck.
    Leave apple some feedback on this issue.

  • How to sync songs from 1 Itunes account to 2 separate computers

    Hi,
    I have an Imac with about 4000 songs on it and these have been synced previously to my IPOD classic 160GB. I went away for a year and got a Macbook to use. I have purchased about 200 songs and uploaded several albums to this macbook. How can i sync them to my ipod without all the other songs being removed?

    Each iTunes library has an internal id. If you connect your device to a new library with a different id then iTunes will want to erase and reload. You could connect the device to the original library, switch into manually managed mode, and then add content from any library. Otherwise you need to gather all of your content into one library, and if needed, clone that to the other machine. You cannot add content that is only located in the cloud to your device.

  • How do I switch from an exchange account to using icloud?

    My partner and I each have iphones and ipads set up with google as an exchange account so that we can invite each other to events and keep everything (mail, calendar, contacts) synced to our devices.
    We would like to switch to icloud, and I have some questions.
    1.  Can we continue to use our gmail accounts on icloud, or do we have to set up new email addresses?
    2.   Will we still be able to invite each other to events and get confirmations of same?
    3.   How do we do this?
    4.  If it doesn't work after we've tried it, can we re-setup our old exchange account?

    You can continue to use your Gmail account if you wish, but it will not be within iCloud. You can create an iCloud email and use it if you want, however you don't have to.
    Yes, you can invite each other to your appointments and confirm them.
    Settings > iCloud, use the "create Apple ID" button to set up your iCloud account.
    Yes, you can go back to using Gmail for your contacts, calendars etc, if you do not like iCloud.
