How to set up a second iphone/itumes account on one computer

Hi,
I have iTunes on my windows laptop and my iPhone and my iTunes account is currently set up on my iTunes.
I want my partner to also be able to have her own iTunes account and iPhone on my laptop.
I have read a few forums but I cannot follow any of the instructions. The steps outlined are not available on my iTunes program. for example on apple suppor it says
Windows users
Look in your computer's Help documentation to learn how to set up other user accounts. To find this information:
Click the Start Menu and click Help or Help and Support.
Enter "new user" in the Search field.
Press Return.
when I go to my iTunes and go to help my options are "iTunes help" or "Apple service and support" and neither of these option allow you to search for "new user" so these instructions are useless.
Can someone please give simple step by step instructions

You seem to know alot, so I am contacting you regarding my query
I bought a second iPod touch for my daughter. My problem is that this second iPod is not being recognized as a device... therefore I cannot sync it or add any content to it. Do you know how I can add a second iPod to my iTunes so that I am able to sync it?
I have gone through all of the troubleshooting (restarting iPod, restarting computer, reseting iPod to factory default...etc). Can you please help me?

How to set up 2 time capsules to back up one computer?

what can i say, i run a music studio, dj off of mp3's as well, and edit video in my spare time
so, i've got terrabytes of data, on multiple external and internal hard drives, and have therefore invested in 2 (two) 1tb time capsules. however, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to set them up to both backup my different and various hard drives on one computer! at the moment, i can get both visible on one network, but only one TC at a time will backup, the other just sits there gathering dust as far as i can tell.
i'm running a mac pro, os 10.5.8, with an 4 disc external drive - 3 disks with various data (one contains video data, one mp3s, and one protools recording data) and one running super duper to make weekly clones of my main hard drive. i'd like to configure one time capsule to backup, say, my hard drive and protools disks, and one time capsule to backup the video and mp3 drives.
i've searched quite bit on google and here for a solution, but there's a dearth of information on this subject! hasn't anyone else out there done this? surely i'm not the only person out here with loads and loads of critical data in his home needing more than one tb of backup...

That is correct. For backups, the Time Capsule is basically just a dumb HD; the Time Machine software on your Mac is what controls things, and it can only have one destination at a time, whether it's backing-up one or multiple HDs.

Again, TM won't do that. Only one "instance" of TM will run at a time, and you can only have one set of exclusions (to limit what it backs up) at a time.

No, but it's fairly rare, and few want to do this wirelessly. And note that Time Machine was not designed for such situations, but as a very simple, "set it and forget it" backup tool for the novice to intermediate user, who's likely never used any backup app at all.
For a Time Capsule to back up everything (except the clone), about your only option is to forget the TC's internal HD. Instead, get either a single external HD that's 2 or 3 times the space of what you want backed-up, or enough smaller ones that you can make a +Concatenated RAID set+ large enough. Attach this to the TC and back-up to it.
But for that much data, this is a very slow and cumbersome solution.
You probably need a mixed solution of some sort; using Time Machine to the Time Capsule for your boot drive and as much of the more volatile data on the other drive(s) as is reasonable; then SuperDuper or another app to back up the other data to an external HD.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

Managing 2 iphone/iTunes accounts on one computer

Me an my wife both have iPhones. Each one is currently managed on separate profiles on our Macbook. This was fine to begin with, but now it's killing memory on the computer by having many of the same exact songs taking up memory twice (what would be a 7GB library is now a 14GB one).
Is there a way to have our iPhones sync on one side of the Mac (while maintaining individual account info for the iTunes store) as to avoid keeping double music files?

Try this...
Quit iTunes.
Drag your entire iTunes folder from /Username/Music to /Users/Shared.
Log out.
Log in on your Wife's account.
Click on the iTunes icon to start it, then immediately press an hold the Option key.
iTunes will ask to Create new library or Choose existing library. Select Choose existing library.
Select the iTunes library file in the iTunes folder in /Users/Shared.
iTunes will open and all the music in your account will be there.
Now, go to iTunes prefs -> Advanced -> Importing.
Make sure Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library is ticked.
If your wife currently has ALL the same music as you, do not do this step. It will simply add all the music again and you will have duplicates of everything. If she has some different than you, you will have to select those artists/songs specifically.
Go to File -> Add to library and select the iTunes music folder (or only the individual artists/albums/songs that you do not have) in /Wife's username/Music/iTunes. This will add all the music in her account.
When done, quit iTunes.
Go to /Wife's username/Music and drag the iTunes folder to the trash. Do NOT empty the trash yet.
Restart iTunes normally (don't hold Option).
Everything should be there.
Quit iTunes and log out of her account.
Log into your account, start iTunes normally and all music should bet there.
Quit iTunes and go back into her account and make sure iTunes works okay. If it does, empty the trash.

How do you share music between two iTunes accounts on one computer?

My wife and I share a Windows 7 laptop computer. We have separate Windows logins and separate iTunes accounts. When we had separate computers we were able to use Home Sharing to share our music but this doesn't work when you have two accounts on the same computer.
Is there a way to share our music libraries without wiping out what is already stored in our individual iTunes music libraries?

HT204053 I have two iphones with different numbers that I use my apple ID for purchases, etc. How do I get my second iphone setup on icloud? I would like to use the features of icloud for both of my iphones. Thank you

I have two iphones with different phone numbers that I use. I have one of them set up on icloud now, but do not know how to set up my second device on icloud. Both of my iphones use my same Apple ID for purchases, etc. Is there a simple way to add a device to my icloud account? Thank you in advance for any help someone may be able to give me.

To move one of the phones to a different iCloud account (if that's what you want to do), go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data to Off. When prompted, choose to keep the data on your iPhone. After everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. This will delete the account from the phone but not from iCloud so the other phone will not be effected. Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn iCloud syncing in Settings>iCloud back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new iCloud account.
You will then have to go to icloud.com and sign into each iCloud account separately and delete any unwanted data that you don't want on the phone syncing with each account.

Well Roger , it may not be particularly difficult for you it is quiet clear that for several thousand people who managed to find the time to seek out help for these devices and programs that the manufacturer is unable or unwilling to provide it is at the very least "difficult"! If we are to tally up the amount of questions and inquiries posted on this one help site, I shudder to think of the size of the iceberg of inoperative functions and thus lost revenue to all those people , company's that like me have found things "difficult "! Last summer I created a "I cloud " address in a hurry while in dep lounge LHR
And now wish to change as above is reputed to be used by notorious thugs who assault seniors on streets and post result on Web, useing same letters that I had hastily typed prior to Flt over pond. Alas like you I am now aware of the inability of changing address and thus wish to create " alias" to at least hide offending letters . The can of worms gets more difficult as my main comp is an antique HP windows 7 on which I have installed Apple control panel ! Thus I get duplicate mail on an MSN Acc plus Hot mail that is still unable to decide if it wants to be known as "Outlook " or not? All the folders created by me for "HotMail " will show up with some persuasive tapping but will not allow the release to view their contents? If I click on "cloud mail" "no mail" message is shown! I can deposit info /file in Cloud mail "archive" but only if I navigate to " Mail box Accounts" first ? If I want to create a file , no facility seems to be available ? So info/files that warrant saving /filing are left flagged ,sloshing about in the InBox or stuffed into over burdened "Cloud Account!
I have tried to follow instructions in Apple Corp official instructions ,both I Pad and Cloud and am unable to locate the term "preferences" as no "Action pop up menu * has shown itself! thus I am unable click "Accounts" or "add an Alias" !
I must confess I have been very rude to the Micro Soft people in the past for my inability to grapple with their system , but now think perhaps I am the problem as Parkinson's will affect cognitive function?...... Your remark re expecting "free" mail box features in my opinion is a bit like the car salesman saying " No Sir, that is the price for the car , the oil ,
Anti freeze , trans fluid , battery acid are all extra!!??..... Carry on London!!!!

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked. What am I doing wrong?

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked, so that when I delete a song from one library it deletes from the other one.
On the online tutorials I've seen it shows that when you create a new iTunes library it should open as a blank account, but that isn't happening.
What am I doing wrong?

If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
If necessary:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
