How to set up two accounts in itunes

I want to add a second account to my itunes and sync it separately with a second iphone for my daughter. Any tips?

You would each need to use your own user account on the Mac, you can do this at system preferences > users & groups.

  • How can I use two account in iTunes Match of different countrys

    I do have two ID accounts, USA and MEXICO, just the one in Mexico is activated with iTunes Match, last week I was in USA and i bought 1 cd, when i tryied to find my music (Mexicos ID) there was no music, I checked at the config and activated again de Mexico´s ID and the iTunes Match... the the CD was gone. I logged to my US ID again, purchased again the cd (it just download) and I sync to my computer and I said that I have to copy the CD manually (I don´t know how) and when i tried to activate my Mexico´s account it appearead a message that I have to wait 90 days. IT IS THE SAME IPHONE!!!! Why do I have to wait 90 days to get mi iTunes Match music in the device i got it?!?!?!?!?!?!

    When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
    You must wait the 90 days.

  • 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

  • A bit confused about setting up two accounts in iTunes

    Dear Folks,
    I now have two iPads, which I (need to) have separate AppleID's for. I understand I can share apps between them if I authorize iTunes on my iMac with both ID's. I am not quite sure about the correct way to do that. I already have the iMac authorized for AppleID#1. If I go into iTunes and click on Store/Authorize this Computer... and enter my AppleID#2 information into Account name and Password boxes, does this authorize my iMac's iTunes for BOTH ID's or does it just change the authorization from ID#1 to ID#2?
    If the former is correct, I understand the way to proceed is to xync up both iPads to iTunes and then I can drag and drop apps from one iPad's library listings to the other, right?
    If this is not the correct way to get dual authorizations, what is?
    Thanks!

    No, there are many discussions here that clearly state that is not the case.

  • I accidentally set up two accounts.  One account with my old e-mail address which I've been using for years and has all of my purchases on it.  Now I have a new account with my current e-mail address. How do I disable this new account?

    I accidentally set up two accounts.  One account with my old e-mail address which I've been using for years and has all of my purchases on it.  Now I have a new account with my current e-mail address. How do I disable this new account?  I need to disable the new e-mail address account so that I can add it as an additional e-mail to my old account.  THEN, how do I make this new e-mail address my primary e-mail for this old account?

    Did yoo go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in?

  • How do I merge two valid, purchased iTunes accounts into one so all my music is in same account?

    I have two valid, purchasd iTunes accounts.  Older iPod has some great music, I just got a new iPad and set up second iTunes account, bought some more iTunes items for that account.  Just discovered iCloud.  Now I want to put all my music from both accounts onto the cloud so I can access it on all my apple devices.   Can't seem to add from one account to the other.  Can sign onto the new account wiht my old iPod, but it will not let me sync without erasing all the music on the device.  How can I merge these two accounts into one?
    PS  Makes you wonder how helpful support is when the usernames "Frustrated," "really frustrated," and "Help!!!!" are all taken...lol

    You cannot. iTunes pruchases remian tied to the account they were purchased with.
    I just got a new iPad and set up second iTunes account,
    Why?
    Remove your info from new account, update old account as needed and use that.

    You can use the same apple id for two separate phoones to share apps/music, however you would need a separate apple id for both phone for imessage/facetime/icloud.

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • How can I use two accounts ?

    How can I use two accounts (mine and my wife's) to PhotoStream to my mac? I have to turn off photo stream for one or the other...can't I just leave two accounts logged on so that the photos from my iphone and hers both go to my mac?

    Photostreaming across machines requires to use the same Apple-ID on all of these machines or devices. Share all of iclouds account stuff or nothing at all . No way around as icloud is designed that way. Photostream is not designed as a sort of gallery to share with outsiders. It is for your personal entertainment .

  • I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either.

    I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either. I have an iphone 4 that will not connect to 5ghz.
    thank you!

    Your AirPort Express is already providing two separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, but each band is using the same wireless network name.
    This is the default setup for the AirPort Express, which is recommended for most users. The theory here is that devices will automatically connect to the best quality signal based on their capabilities and distance in relation to the AirPort Express.
    It is possible to assign a different name to the 5 GHz band, and then "point" devices at that network to connect. Some users swear by this option.....(I am not one of them).... but you might want to give it a try to see how it works for you.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Express
    Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
    Click Wireless Options near the bottom of the next window
    Enter a check mark next to 5 GHz Name.....which will automatically add "5 GHz" to the network name....so you can identify it
    Click Save, then click Update and wait a full minute for the Express to restart
    Now you will need to "point" your 5 GHz capable devices at the 5 GHz network name.  2.4 GHz devices will connect to your "other" network name.

  • I have two accounts with iTunes.  Can they be merged or somehow combined so that I can have access to everything from both my old iPod Touch and my new iPhone5?

    I have two accounts with iTunes.  Can they be merged or somehow combined so that I can have access to everything from both my old iPod Touch and my new iPhone5?

    No.
    You can authorize your computer for both accounts.  Put all of the music on one computer.  Sync your devices to that computer.
