How to be sure my husband can't purchase on my iTunes account.

I've separated from my husband.  How do I stop him from purchasing from my iTunes account.  I don't mind him playing the tunes but I don't want to pay for anything new he might order from now on.  I've changed the bank account details over to mine, so I need to be sure he can't keep ordering anything that takes his fancy.  I didn't deactivate all devices in account setup as I don't mind him playing the stuff. I just don't want to be paying when he places his next order.

He will be mighty ****** at not being able to play the tunes in the existing library.
Don't worry about the tunes. He can play the tunes without authorization.  The only exception are DRM-encumbered tracks that were purchased from the iTunes Store prior to 2009.  Any songs you purchased from iTunes since mid-2009, as well as any normal MP3s that your purchased from Amazon or elsewhere, can be played without authorization.
I still see him buying stuff via my account but now it's my credit card paying for it.
To put a stop to that, see previous post.

    I believe it's five.  It's tied to how many computers you can authorize with one iTunes account. (The same applies to music, apps, and other stuff downloaded from the iTunes Store)
    The iTunes, 5 computer limit does not apply here.  As per the license agreement, if you obtain Lion via the Mac app store, you are granted permission to install on all Snow Leopard Macs that you personally own/control.  If you have Lion pre-installed on a new Mac or obtain it via a USB key purchase method (reportedly coming in August), the license only permits use on one Mac. 

  • Hi my partner used my email address and iTunes account to set up his iPhone and now both our phones have merged! Does anyone know how to separate these? Can he still use our iTunes account with a different Id or email! Please help!!

    HI my partner used my apple id and email address when setting up his iPhone so when he turned on iCloud our phones merged!! How do we undo this? Can he still use my iTunes account with a different Id and can he change the email on his phone without losing information? Also iPad is linked too, the family uses this and I would like to keep my phone separate! At the moment nothing is sacred! Please help! We are not very good with computers!!

    Several things here so let me attempt to clarify.
    For iCloud the reason the contacts where removed from he other device is because you updated your contacts, in this case deleted them, and then iCloud updated the other device to match. By deleting the iCloud account on the device it will stop the device from using that iCloud account and therefore nothing will change on the other device. By using a seperate Apple ID you can still use the features of iCloud, Find My iPhone comes to mind, without your content (contacts, message etc.) merging with the other device
    For iTunes, you cannot use two Apple IDs for one account however if you use the same account iTunes on your computer will keep the content on each device seperate very nicely. You can also configure the settings for iTunes and the App store on each device to keep the content from automatically downloading to the other device. What I meant by share apps and music is this. What happens if you find a game, lets say Minecraft, that you really like and it cost, as Mincraft cost, $6.99USD. You buy it and play for a while and then you realize that your husband really likes the game as well. If you both use the same Apple ID for iTunes he can download the $7.00ish game to his device at no additional charge. If you use seperate Apple IDs for iTunes well... it look like he will also be paying for the game to have it on his account. Same goes for Music and Movies
    I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have anymore question.

  • Can I have a family Itunes account

    I have my own iTunes account and iCloud and all that.
    I have an iPhone and an iPad, using iTunes on Windows on my personal Laptop.
    My wife has an iPhone and iTunes with her own account. With her iTunes on her personal Laptop.
    We both have work laptops.
    Is there any way to consolidate our iTunes libaries and databases into one place.
    Can this be done with iMatch and iCloud?
    What I really want is to have is that we have one iTunes account that we can access from anywhere and that synch's to all our devices.
    that way we can share/create/edit playlists and all that from any device.
    Is there a way to merge both of our accounts into one family account or something?
    Or will I just have to trasnfer a libary from one to the other and we both use that Apple Id.
    Then enable home sharing and iMatch ?
    Will that do the trick?
    How many authrised computers and devices can you have on one iTunes account?
    Thanks

    Hi
    that helps alot
    so there is no Merge,
    What I need to do is transfer the contents of my wife’s library to my home PC.
    then get rid of her iTunes account.
    Set up her laptop with my account, setup her work laptop with my account, set up her iPhone with my account.
    Set up my work laptop with my account.
    that way, any purchased material will be available on all our devices?
    So, how do I now get rid of the huge database on my personal Laptop, I want to move it to a more reliable platform, An external Raid Network Hard disk, or use the iCloud.
    My understanding is that if I leave my Laptop on at home, and use home sharing and iMatch, then I will have effectively have moved my database to the cloud and home sharing allows all computers to access my local database.
    Is this the best solution - it seems very convoluted?

  • Can't purchase anything with iTunes 8.0.2 update

    After updating to 8.0.2, I can't purchase anything on iTunes account. Every time I try to purchase music, a TV show or an application I get the error message that "...due to a problem with the iTunes store I have no available store credit for purchasing..." "I don't have any store credit, I've been trying to purchase with my credit card like I always have been." Has anyone else had this problem?

    Almost same problem...

    How do i make icloud work if my husband and I share the same itunes account but we dont want to get each others contacts, messages, apps etc?

    Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
    Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

  • Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

    Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I find it hard to believe that this information isn't clearly available somewhere, but it isn't and I don't think I've seen anyone here who is 100% sure. However, I believe you can have up to 10 associated devices, which include authorised computers (of which you can have up to 5), I suspect the Apple TV might become a temporary associated device while it's in use, but I'm not entirely sure myself.

    I assume you have different iTunes collections on different PC's, or on different logins on the same PC?  If that's the case then just enable "Home Sharing" in each iTunes using the SAME iTunes username and password as you enabled home sharing on the Apple TV with. The account used for home sharing is NOT the same as the account used to access the iTunes store, so as long as you use the same account (pick one, doesn't matter which) then you should see both of yor iTunes libraries on the Apple TV. Note - each iTunes has ti be running in order for the Apple TV to see the library.
    Here's some details on how to do it:

    How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device (iPhone 4) without erasing either set of data when syncing with itunes?

    Hi,
    Depends on what you trying to setup but for purchases, you can roll down at the very end of the iTunes/AppStore pages to logout of your current account and then login into a different one.  Then your purchase will be billded to this new account.  Everything will sync as you used to but in order to use the purchased content in iTunes or other devices, you will need to authorize them (you can have up to 5 devices authorized for an account).
