How to set up multiple accounts on Itunes without everyone getting info

h Can someone help me set up account through one Itunes without each device getting all songs and data?

Easiest way I've found is this:
1. Set up an iCloud account for each person
-> Go to Settings > iCloud and create a new Apple ID for the person using that device
2. Once that iCloud account has been created, sign into iCloud, iMessage & FaceTime using the same ID on each other device used by the same person
3. Set up a 'Master' Apple ID that you are going to use as a Shared ID for iTunes Store purchases
-> Use iTunes on a PC/Mac or create a new Apple ID in Settings > iTunes & App Stores
4. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores on every device you want to share purchases and sign them all in to this 'Master' Apple ID but turn off the Automatic Downloads settings
Doing this will allow you to share iTunes Store purchases of Apps & Music without sharing iCloud data (contacts, calendars, etc), iMessages & FaceTime calls.
If you are meaning iTunes on a computer within a single user account, it's all in the Sync Settings of each device. I have mine, my wife's and my daughter's iPhones & iPads all syncing within a single PC user account by doing the following:
Set up a Playlist for the music and a folder (PC) or iPhoto album (Mac) for pictures unique to each device or person
Connect a device
Set it to only sync that playlist and not to automatically add new downloads or fill free space with songs
Set up which apps you want on each device (again, untick the option to automatically add new apps)
Select the folder/album to sync pictures
Apply Changes
Repeat step 2 for each device

  • How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes without apps that are only on an iPad Air not sync on other devices?

    How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes (iPad Air & iPhone 5) without apps that are only on an iPad Air not syncing on my iPhone 5? I have apps on the iPad that I do not want on the iPhone, but when I sync my iPhone I have apps that are on the iPad sync to it also. How do I fix this so only the apps/data on each device sync to it?

  • How to set up multiple account structures in HFM account dimension

    We are implementing a HFM application to replace two separate general ledger applications, one being Corporate and the other being a new subsidiary. The two account structures are quite different. We need to maintain both account structures. Also we are facing the issue that some of the Subsidiary accounts are repeated in the Corporate chart of accounts but they are meant different things.
    Question:
    What is the best solution to maintain two distinct chart of accounts in HFM and maintain its own rollup structure, but having the financial data of the subsidiary accounts to rolled into the Corporate accounts in order to be able to report consolidated financial results at corporate.
    Appreciate your insights.

    Thanks, Barney. Nice of Apple to document this so conveniently for us. But sincerely, thanks.
    I've never needed any documentation. Optional behavior has always been accessed using the Option key, going back to Classic Mac OS.

    You can always buy an iTunes gift card, and then redeem that card for your iTunes Store account.

  • How can I select multiple songs in iTunes without having to hold the Command key while clicking each individual song

    Trying to drag a block of songs from iTunes into TuneUp and I have about 1800 songs to bring in.  TuneUp maxes out at 1000 songs per batch, so I can't use Select All, but I also don't want to Command + Click 800 times to get all of those songs selected. 
    Thanks in advance. 

    Answered my own question.  Select song at the beginning of the list.  Hold down the shift key.  Go to the last song you want in your list.  Click that song.  All songs in between will be highlighted.  Such and idiot.

    How can I have multiple iphones on itunes without them sharing contact info

    If contacts on each iPhone are being synced direct with the same supported address book app on the computer via the iTunes sync process, deselect Sync Contacts under the Info tab for the iPhones that you don't want synced with the same address book followed by a sync.
    If each iPhone is sharing the same Apple iCloud account with Contacts enabled for over the air syncing, each iPhone needs its own iCloud account.

    how can i create multiple accounts but use the same itunes?

    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.

  • I recently set up multiple accounts and when I was trying to figure out how to share files I messed up something in my documents. Everytime I open a doc from the ADMIN account, a box pops up that says "The file is not in the correct format" how to fix?

    I recently set up multiple accounts on my imac, When I was trying to figure out how to share the documents I must have done something wrong. When logged into the Admin account, I open up any document and I get a message box that says, "The Document could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format." What did I do and how do I fix it?

    Without knowing what you did it is impossible to give advice on how to correct it.
    If these were files you copied over from some other system then just Re-Copy them replacing the ones that are corrupted.
    Other then that I suggest you Wipe the drive and start over with a clean reinstall of the OS and programs. Then if you want to share files to All Accounts place those files in a folder in the ROOT of the drive.

  • How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)?

    How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)? Currently each of us has our own iTunes account, so I've made an "all office" Apple ID. However, I can't seem to get two different accounts (my personal and the office) to work on my machine. Even when I login as "the office", my personal library is still showing. Additionally, when I try to setup with a first-time use in iTunes, I get an error that I don't meet the minimum age requirement - no matter what birthdate I enter!

    The library exists regardless of which user is logged in.
    The only way around that is to create different user accounts on the computer.
    There is no way to have 20 unique iTunes users access a shared iTunes under a single login on the computer.

  • How do I have multiple accounts on the same computer

    how do I have multiple accounts on the same computer? The idea of ", hold down the option (on a Mac)/ shift (on a PC) key each time you start iTunes" does not seem to work for me. Thanks.

    Create multiple Windows User Profile with each managing his own iTunes account and library.
    To create a user account on Windows 7:
    To open User Accounts, click the Start button , click Control Panel, under 'User Accounts and Family Safety', select Add or Remove User Accounts.
    Click Create a new account.
    Type the name you want to give the user account, click an account type(make sure to give Administrator), and then click Create Account.
