Welcome to the Apple Community Bill.
Do you each have your own Apple ID for iTunes.
How did you get the songs onto your phone.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match, iCloud doesn't sync music. Just set up every person's devices on a separate iCloud account and your iCloud data and photo stream will remain separated. Each iCloud account will need a separate ID, but it does not need to be the same as your iTunes ID. You can continue to share the same iTunes ID and maintain separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs for iCloud.
You'll also want to use separate IDs for each person for iMessage and FaceTime. This will keep your text messages and FaceTime called separated as well. The easiest way to do this is to have everyone use their iCloud ID for these two services as well.

How do I add an Iphone to my iTunes account

How do I add an Iphone to my iTunes account

Hello Willart1,
It sounds like you would like to associate your iPhone to your iTunes Store account. This article should help you do that:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
Open iTunes.
Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
Next to each device or computer name, you will be able to see when each device or computer was associated with your Apple ID. You will also be able to track how many days remain before your associated devices or computers can be associated with a different Apple ID.
Note: If no devices have been associated with the Apple ID, then the Manage Devices section will not be visible.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Not sure what you mean. Please explain.

HT1495 How do I stop SMS messages being shared between multiple iphones on my itunes account? One is my wife's, one is mine and we do not want each others messages appearing on the other.

How do I stop SMS messages appearing on two devices on my iTunes account?
One phone is mine, one is my wife's and we dont want messages being shared.
We do have contacts and music etc shared.

If your are recieving mixed information on your phone on multiple devices this is going to be related to iMessage.
On your phone navagate to settings > messages > send and receive.
Check the information in that section make sure it relates to your AppleID and your phone. If you share a AppleID with the individual create a new AppleID for their device and insert that information.
If the numbers don't remove turn of iMessage restart your phone and turn it back it.
If all else fails disable iMessage otherwise turning it off is the quickest fix.

How do I sync my two iPhones to my iTunes account? One is my old 3GS I am using as an iPod, and I want to transfer new music on my 5 to the 3GS.

When I got my new phone, I did the initial sync to my existing iTunes profile. Now I'm afraid to sync the old phone (so I can get new music on it). Is there a way to sync two phones on the same iTunes account? Do I need to change the name of the old phone? And how do I do that if that's what I need to do? I've had the old phone in airplane mode since I got the new one because I'm afraid it will sync to the cloud and mess up my new phone.
Help! Thanks!!

Plug it in and sync it

How can I unsync my iPhone from an iTunes account?

I just bought a new macbook pro and i have had a macbook air on my family's itunes account. i just created a new account on my new computer but it won't sync my phone because it is still synced to my family's account. how do i unsync it?

Not sure if there is a way to "un-sync" per-say... But you can factory reset your device, and then set it up with your new MB Air.
DOING A FACTORY RESET WILL WIPE ALL DATA ON YOUR PHONE!!! So make sure you have it backed up to your old computer first!
But before you do this, when you plug your Phone into your computer, I think iTunes should give you a choice to sync with your new computer. If this "dialog box" or "choice" doesn't pop up when you plug your Phone in, THEN do the factory reset.

Change your password.

She will be able to use any apps that are on her device, until she syncs with her own computer.

How can I unlock an iPhone 4 without iTunes account information?

My daughter's iPhone 4 is registered on my Verizon account and I am the account manager. When she got it she set it up through her own iTunes account. I have taken her phone from her as punishment and want to access the information on the phone without her knowing. I entered the wrong unlock code too many times and it is now disabled and there is a message on the front that it must be connected to the iTunes account. How can I reset/unlock the phone while preserving the information that is currently on it? I hunted and pecked through the Verizon site and can't find anything. I thought since I am the account manager I could easily unlock it - - apparently not.

Hi madisonsb,
Just so you know, once the code has been put in incorrectly many times, to prevent unauthorized access, the phone will lock itself up and can only be restored by erasing the information and setting the phone back up. If there is a back up on iTunes it will restore everything back to the phone, but keep in mind this will also restore the old lock code used as well. So it's either erase everything and set it up as new, or erase everything and restore with the old lock code.
Being an account manager gives you access to the Verizon Wireless account to make plan changes or upgrade phones, not gain access into information on a device. The information on a device is always considered private and we wouldn't even have access to it in any way, shape, or form.

That is correct. the music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The iphone is not a backup device.
Copy everything from the old computer, or backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

How do I separate the content of two iTunes accounts on one PC running Windows 7?

Hello. I have a dilemma that has been going on for years and am hopeful that someone can outdo the staff at the Apple Store Genius Bar who, after trying multiple times, could not solve this problem. This is a doozie, so get comfortable...
My wife and I have two separate iTunes accounts. For clarity, this is two separate iTunes store accounts, where we each can log in with a separate e-mail address and password. Years ago, she had her own laptop from which she accessed iTunes and synced her iPhone without any issues. I used another laptop to sync my iPhone, and all was well until the hard drive on my wife's laptop crashed.
After that, my wife logged into iTunes on my laptop and connected her iPhone to my laptop to sync up, but we found that all of the apps and data on her iPhone synced to my iTunes account. When I connected my iPhone to the laptop to sync up, all of the content of her iPhone synced to my iPhone. Also, when she connected to the laptop and synced her iPhone, all of my content synced to her phone. So, she stopped connecting her iPhone to the laptop because we were not able to find a way to separate my content from her content when we sync our phones.
To make it more complicated, any app that we both run on our iPhone (e.g. Facebook, Yelp, etc.) is somehow "registered" under my account on her iPhone. So, if any apps that we both use have an updated version, she is prompted to first enter her iTunes password to authorize the download for apps that only she runs, and then for my password to authorize apps that we both run. In other words, her iPhone is somehow permanently linked to my iTunes account.
Now, to make this even more interesting, let me add another level of despair. When iOS 5 was released in 2011, we tried to update her iPhone by installing the new OS but the OS crashed during the install. All of the apps that she had installed on her phone, including new contacts, were lost because she had not synced to the laptop for some time. When the iPhone was restored and iOS5 was installed at the Apple Store, we learned that all contacts and pictures stored there were lost. Fortunately the apps that she purchased were saved because they were still stored on her iTunes account, but still are only accessible through my iTunes account on the laptop since all of the content is merged, as mentioned above. Also, when we restored them, she got all apps (mine and hers) so she had to manually delete mine which took a lot of time. So, consequently she is still running iOS 5 because we don't want to deal with the hassle of losing any data or having to manually delete my apps from her iPhone.
So, I am extremely hopeful that someone can demonstrate some intellectual "heavy lifting" and can help us to answer the following questions:
1) How can we set up iTunes so that our content is separated rather than stored completely on my iTunes account?
2) How can we modify the settings in iTunes and/or iPhone so that we will only access our own content upon connecting to the laptop? (Note: I realize that iCloud makes it unnecessary to sync via USB but occasionally use the computer to charge my iPhone and it syncs automatically)
3) How can we modify the settings on her iPhone so that it does not recognize mutual apps as "my" apps and prompt her to enter my iTunes password to update them when a new release is available?
4) If she were to install the current version of iOS, how can we ensure that her data will not be lost if the software crashes again?
Whoever can figure this out gets to brag about being the coolest person in the world, at least in my book. Thanks in advance.
