How do we share one iTunes account but have separate users

My family all have apple products, but cant figure out how to share one account as a family, share applications, and the rest, but have differant users. Is there an actual way to do this?

You can edit the information on your Apple account in a number of places (they all link together)
On Apple.com - http://store.apple.com/us/account/home
On the Apple ID Website - https://appleid.apple.com
On iTunes - Choose Store > 'View Account' from the Menu Bar.
On an iOS Device - Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store > Tap on the 'Apple ID' > Tap 'View Apple ID'
Good Luck!

    Can I have 4 idevices in my family share an iTunes account but have separate apple IDs for iCloud and FaceTime ?

    Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
    You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

  • How do I share one itunes account between two users on the same computer

    How do I share one itunes account between two users on the same computer without taking up twice as much space on my hard drive?

    You would need to move the itunes folder to a location that both users have permissions to access such as the Shared folder or any folder on the root level of the macintosh HD.
    You can find instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203 This method allows you to share the content without sharing the same library.

  • Can I sync 2 iPhones to one itunes account but have seperate yahoo contacts

    We have 2 iPhones and want to be able to share the same itunes account which doesn't seem to be a problem. However we can't seem to have separate yahoo contacts synced with the two separate phones. It wants to keep putting my wife's contacts on my phone or vice a versa. Now our Yahoo contacts are all mucked up. Any help would be appreciated. I can't believe we can't do this.

    You can sync many devices to one itunes account. I, for instance, have two ipods and an iphone on one account. They all have different setting and contents, but still only sync to one itunes account.
    Yes you and your wife can use one itunes account.

  • Can I have one itunes account, but have two devices that used different email accounts?

    I have an iPad2 and want to buy an iPod Touch for my daughter.  I want it to use her email address, but use my itunes account.  Can that be done?

    The Apple/iTunes ID (which is a email address) is seperate from any mail accounts yu have on the iPod/iPad.  Both devices can use the same Apple/iTunes ID but have different email address for the mail accounts on the devices.

  • One iTunes account with 2 separate user accounts?

    I'm trying to figure out how to set up my daughter since we're upgrading her from an iPod Touch to an iPhone minus the phone (my hubby got a new iPhone 4S and she's getting his 3GS but it's got no phone contract so it works like a larger, more souped up iPod Touch!)
    I initially wanted to start her on her own iTunes account from now on to make it clean and get her going on iCloud with her own stuff.  But, from what I've read, there may be an advantage to keeping her on my iTunes account for now since she won't really be making any independent purchases without my approval.  That said, I'm not exactly crazy about her syncing to my iTunes library all the time - and I definitely don't want her photo stream!
    Is there a way to establish TWO user accounts on my iMac which would lead to TWO iTunes and iPhoto libraries (I think?) but use ONE iTunes account for both of them?
    I've read through the help but most seems to be going the other direction - (2 itunes accounts, 1 library).
    Thanks for the help -

    You can't split the accounts. Purchased items stay authorized with the account it was purchased on. Really, the only thing you can do is keep your libraries separate and use them that way, or create an account for her, put your purchases in her account and authorize her device(s) to use your apple ID. I've done that with my library; my boyfriend and I share the same library with two different accounts and each of our devices are authorized to play one anothers purchases.
    Sorry there's no better way I can think of. I'd like to split our libraries.... I wish Apple would create a feature keeping in mind that people buy new PCs and that family members move and get old enough for their own account, etc. :/

  • How do I take off another user off my iTunes account? It's a x family member and we share one iTunes account but I'm the main person on it.

    A ex family member is under my iTunes account and I need to try to remove him but can't figure it out.

  • I have one itunes account, but several itouch apparatus that belong to kids, how do I keep their cloud stuff separate, or does it all go into one cloud?

    I have one itunes account, but have several itouches that belong to the kids.  How do I keep the cloud's separate, or does it all go into one, because of the one acccount?

    All devices under the same Apple ID will have one iCloud. If they are over 13, they can create their own Apple IDs, or you can just turn everything off under Settings > iCloud on the iPods.

  • Can more than one device share one itunes account

    My wife and I both have the iphone 4 (not 4S) that are sync'd to the same computer and share one itunes account, but after I upgraded to iOS5 only one of us is able to access the "icloud" or itunes or anything else for that matter with that that user name...anyone know what gives?

    Yes

  • HT1918 My husband and I share an iTunes account but we would like to have separate accounts.  How do we set that up?

    My husband and I currently share an iTunes account but we would like to have separate accounts. How do we do this?

    you would have to create a new appleid for one of you in itunes or at appleid.apple.com since you cant split up an account
    you can't move purchases from one to another but you can always keep that account for the store and just use the new one for icloud facetime etc

  • I have 2 iphones 4s's, ones my wife and one is mine. we have different apple IDs, can we share one itunes account?? if so, how??

    I have 2 iphones 4s's, ones my wife and one is mine. we have different apple IDs, can we share one itunes account?? if so, how??

    If you haven't set up your own Apple ID already don't.  I suggest you use the same apple ID as your wife's.  The alternative is to do this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848.  It's not efficient as you have to swap apple id's to update apps under both IDs.  20/20 being hindsight, I would have never created a 2nd apple ID for my wife.
    Hope this helps.

  • My wife and I share one itunes account with separate libraries. When I sync her iphone in her library, it adds all of my iphone contacts to her contact list. How can we void this?

    My wife and I share one itunes account with separate libraries. When I sync her iphone in her library, it adds all of my iphone contacts to her contact list. How can we avoid this?

    Make groups of contacts in your Address Book and select the option to sync only selected groups to each phone.

  • HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

    Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

    You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
    However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
    So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
    Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
    P.S  audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.
