How do I use a new AppleID to access same iTunes Library?

How do I use a new AppleID to access same iTunes Library?
I would like to use my Family's AppleID (already created) to login to my iTunes Library on my iMac.
This is the first step, then I will build that account, and then sync my family's iPad with this account (currently synced with my personal iTunes account.
Can anyone please help me with the exact steps I should follow to "logout" and then logback in to iTunes using a different AppleID but access my current library(primarily music and Apps) (move library from my personal AppleID to new Family AppleID)?

How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

How can I use 2 iPhone 4's on same iTunes account, but NOT sync same contacts?

They need to be registered under different Apple ID's. The initial Apple ID is set when you first start the phone up. If you've already registered the phone to the iTunes account, back it up to your computer, and then have iTunes do a factory reset. Go to www.icloud.com, log in with your current Apple ID, select "Find My iPhone," choose the iPhone you want to dissociate from your primary Apple ID from the upper left, and then click the little circled X ("remove").
When you start the phone, it will have you go through the setup process again, at which time you need to create a unique Apple ID for the device. You can then restore it from your iTunes backup to get back your apps and other settings.
Whenever you use the iTunes store, use the login information (Apple ID and password) that you were using before. Basically, the second Apple ID that you created is purely used for accessing iCloud services, which includes synchronization of contacts, iCal events, and other such things.

How do I add my new CD's to my iTunes library?

Just tried to add some new CD's to my iTunes library today. Was able to add the new Bruce Springsteen CD but not the new Seal CD. I tried adding Seal multiple times but it never read it. Also put the new Springsteen CD in several times and it worked every time, showing all tracks by title and asking me if I wanted to import. I tested some CD's that I had already added to my library months ago and some worked while most did not. Strangely, the only ones that worked are CD mixes that I burned myself or friends gave me. Does anybody have some insight here?? Very frustrating...I am thinking it is related to the newest version of iTunes which I downloaded a few weeks ago.

I am not sure what you mean by "WMP" but I do know that the CD's I could not add to iTunes work fine in my home CD player. The strange thing to me is that iTunes reads certain CD's but not others. For instance, CD's that I burned myself it reads fine but a brand new Seal from the store it doesnt read???
I am wondering if the new Blackberry software I downloaded could be causing this issue but the people at AT&T do not think so. I am more inclined to believe it is an iTunes issue since I downloaded the newest version about 3 weeks ago and prior to that I was able to add my audio CD's all the time without any issues ever.

I was little when i got my first phone so me and my mom use the same icloud and itunes account now we have different stuff though so how can i create a new icloud on the same itunes beacuase we both have our games on the same itunes!.

I need help

Hi iCloud is Making Me Go Crazy,
You will need to create a new Apple ID for your GameCenter and iCloud services. You can continue to use the current Apple ID you share with your Mom for access to iTunes Store purchases if you wish.

How do I get my new pc to see my itunes library already residing on my external drive?

I have a laptop pc connected to an external drive. My iTunes libary was moved to an external drive because it took up so much memory. I have a new desktop pc now. I downloaded iTunes onto it and I am trying to get it see the iTunes library on the external drive now, but it will not. Any thoughts on how to make that happen?

Hey KHpod,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are attempting to open up the iTunes library from your external drive. The following article may provide the resolution to your issue:

How do I point my new Mac at my external iTunes Library?

Okay it's not really a new Mac, it's a replaced hard drive in my old iMac, but I'm setting it up as new to keep it as trim as possible. Pre-replacement I had my iTunes Media library set up on an external hard drive; the iTunes folder and it's inhabitants (Extras, Genius, Library.itl, etc) all resided on the iMac in the Music folder, but I'd moved the Media over to the external drive.
So...
What's the method for telling my 'new' copy of iTunes that I already have a media library, and it's 'over there' on the external drive? I know iTunes can be funny about this sort of thing so I don't want to get it wrong! I considered changing the location using the Preferences, but I wasn't sure if that was going to wipe out anything.
Also, given that I do have a complete backup of the original iMac drive (I just don't want to clone it back to the new one, junk and all), is there any way of doing this in such a way that I can preserve the playlists, play counts, etc? Can I copy over old preferences or library files? Not that bothered if I can't, but would be nice.

I think I just solved my own problem. I simply copied over the Library.itl file from my backup and replaced the same file that my fresh iTunes library had created. Opened iTunes, everything popped up

Using MacPro and PC Laptop -- sharing same itunes library on External Drive

Hi guys, my main computer is a Early 2008 MacPro with Lion installed on it. I have iTunes 10.5 and all my music is classified witht that version of iTunes. But all my music is actually stored in an external 1GB WD Passeport HD.
Thing is I have a dj gig and have to bring my pc laptop to play music. This laptop has Windows 7 installed on it with iTunes 10.5.
What I want to achieve here is to be able to connect the external HD (with all my music on it and run iTunes and see the same thing I would see if I was on my mac : my playlist, comments, id3 tags, etc…
I actually did this :
On the PC --> in itunes, went to Preferences/Advanced, set the itunes library to the folder itunes on my external HD (my itunes library and my itunes music folder is setted there).
I exported my library from itunes MAC (Files-->Library-->Export Library) (it's a XML file) and imported it in my itunes windows installation (Import Playlist).
Thing is I see some files like my podcasts and audiobooks, but I dont see any of my other songs or apps, even if they are in my external HD. I see the playlist but they are empty.
Any ideas?

thanks for the help tt2, really usefull!
Just to be sure i'm doing things right, let me explain more in detail what is my actual setup to know how your explainations applies to it.
Ok. First, my main goal here is to consolidated all my music in one place on one external HD. Let's call it ExHD1.
Actually, my setup involved that all my dj music (1600 tracks in wav format) and my iTunes music are on another external HD, we will call it ExHD2.
Thing is, if I move the wav tracks to another computer, all the tag informations (covert art, title, artist, comments, album, etc) are lost. It's because WAV format do not keep that info. I've recently knew that AIFF format can keep all that info. So I manage to convert (with iTunes built-in utility) all my wav files to AIFF. I've tested it and yes, it keeps everything so far.
But I tried before to make the cross-plateform to work so I have copied all the converted AIFF to my ExHD1 in a specific Beatport folder. Like this.
I had an intense way of manage them in itunes where I made 150+ playlists. I have, before reading your comments, replace all the wav files, to their equivalent in aiff. I just replace the files in the playlist. If you go in the main music window, you can see that for each songs, there is a wav, a aiff, and mp3 format of the song.
Sometimes I have 2x mp3 versions of the song, i don't remember why. I've created these versions long ago. So the thing here is that I have the wav + mp3 version of my tunes on my ExHD2, the aiff version in ExHD1 (the main HD i want to use) and a duplicate mp3s of these tunes ALSO on my internal MAC HD.
++ note that I don't have music on my PC internal HD and not planning to keep ones. ++
So, this is my actual setting of my iTunes, where I have copied my iTunes folder on my new ExHD1 and set iTunes to point his library to there.
Also, this is my settings in Preferences/Advanced
Note that before yesterday, the Keep itunes Media... and Copy files were unchecked.
I prefer that way because I like to manually manage my songs. But I think for what i want to achieve, we need to check this again?
So the main goal here is I want to keep the wav format in the ExHD2 for backup, get rid of the mp3s that I've done before (the mp3 copys of the wav), consolidate everything at one place only: ExHD1.
Also, will my Windows installation (on my pc), when i will set the itunes library to be on the ExHD1, recognize all the playlist I did, and recognize the path of the songs?
Thanks for the help tt2, i know there's a lot, hope I have well explained it. Hope you can answer shorly because my gig is tommorow
regards

I have a new apple ID how do I get my new purchases to my normal itunes library

So I have a ipad and an ipod nano. I have always downloaded music on my ipad then synced my ipod to my pc. But i had to get and new apple ID. So when I got to sync my ipod. It does it with my old account. Ive tried deleting itunes and redownloading it but that didnt work. I need to some how completly reset itunes on my pc or somehow change my id on there. But i cant find a way to do it. Please help.
Thanks.

I'm not quite sure what is going on or what you need to accomplish. If it's asking you to authorize your computer, you'll need to do that with both your new Apple ID and your old one. Until you do, you will not be able to sync purchases from your iPad. You authorize the computer via the Store menu in iTunes. If you have iTunes 11, which for some unfathomable reason hides the menus by default, press Control-B and you'll then see the menus.
If that doesn't address your situation, please post back and clarify.
Regards.

How do I stop another person using their own Apple ID accessing my Itunes library on a shared computer?

My daughter and I have our own Itunes libraries on a shared computer. However we can access each others libraries by using our own Apple ID. This causes a problem because she was able to access my account and delete some music by mistake. Is their a way that I can ensure no one can access my music?
Thanks

Emma,
If two people have separate libraries on the same computer, it is best to put them into two separate Windows User accounts.
Go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Add User Accounts, and get her set up in a separate user account. Then move all her stuff there and from then on the two of you can operate independently on the same computer.

How do I use 2 different ipods on the same itunes sofyware

I have a 5th generation (I think) ( plays videos and is 60g.This is the software that is installed on computer. My friends has a nano but no cumputer. Can I use the same software to put songs on her nano.Will her nano work on my software ,will it screw things up, what are the risks involved

so it's ok for you and your wife to share but not kiser and his friend with no computer ?
Correct.
seems weird that 2 people cannot share a computer, what about roomates and 1 computer ?
No one is saying they can't share a computer. I'm saying they can't share copyrighted material such as digital music on a portable device.
so if anyone wants to buy an ipod they have to go out and buy a computer ????????
Not at all. They can buy the iPod and just look at it.
They could also use a family member's computer, or a friend's computer IF THEY PUT THEIR OWN MUSIC ON IT. If they own a CD, there's nothing wrong with bringing that to a friend or family member's computer and using that machine to get the CD put on their iPod.
As long as no one else but the owner of the CD puts a copy of their music on their player... no problem.
It's quite simple. You can only have music on your iPod which you presently own the original media for (CD, Record, etc.), legally purchased iTunes Music Store track, other legally purchased digital media.

How can I use my iPod touch to restore my iTunes library?

I recently had to reformat my computer so everything is gone. I have all my music backed up on an external drive, but can't I just download everything off my iPhone and iTouch back into iTunes?

The music sync is one way - copmputer to ipod/iphone.
The ONLY exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
You need to copy everything from your backup copy to your computer.
The iphone/ipod is not a stoarage/backup device.

HT1918 How do I use my existing AppleID with out a credit card to access ITunes!

This is madness!
I created my AppleID as informed to, the way without any card details.
I tried to use it to sign into ITunes and have to review my account, now it wants credit card details and I havnt got one!
I have looked around these forums for about an hour and the pages are appsolute rubbish! All Apple do is send you into a mad loop so you HAVE to enter credit card!!! I dont bloody have one!!!!
How do I use my existing appleID to sign into ITunes when all I get is review my account, then it always asks me for credit card information?
I will be throwing this ipod straight back at the shop tomorrow if I can't resolve this!!!
Can anyone actually help please!

I'm off down town tomorrow to return this piece of ****...............
Apple, how can you make a piece of free software that will only let me 'sign in' after you have credit card details? All the music I have just ripped from my own cd collection will now show up with no album art and song names?
Unless anyone has an alternative program that you can drag and drop music onto a nana within the next 24 hours, mine is going back!

How to access my itunes library online?

Hello vibration7,
You can access your iTunes Library when connected to your home Wi-Fi network by setting up Home Sharing. You can find the steps to set that up in the following article:
