How to swap between iTunes accounts

I have 2 iTunes accounts on the one computer. How do I easily swap between the accounts? The only way I have been able to do it is by deauthorising the computer for one of the accounts? Suggestions

Both accounts can be authorised on the same iTunes at the same time. You can swap between them if you want to make purchases with the other account by logging out of the current account (Store > Sign Out) and then logging in with the second account (Store > Sign In) - only one account can be signed in at a time.

  • Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

    Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer? My kids iPods are under my account now with all of our shared music but they want their own iTunes accounts. I would like to transfer the music and apps that they purchased under my account to their new accounts... Is this posible?

    Did you enable the display of system files and hidden files and folders?
    by the way, how can i stop this from happening another time.
    Make a backup!
    i had music there for over 6 years.
    Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.

  • HT202157 switching between itunes accounts

    i just upgraded my itunes account tonight.  i have a question: is the switching between itunes accounts legal?  How do they know you are not getting a friends account info and watching their movies?  Does anyone know the answer to how this works and if it is legal?
    Thanks,

    The potential to associate a computer to an account for 90 days has been possible for a number of years like it has been on iOS devices, and can happen if you use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownload past purchases (though, based on some posts I've seen, it doesn't always seem to happen) - I believe it's an attempt to try and stop people logging into their account on other people's computers or devices and redownloading/sharing their content, not to stop people having multiple accounts.
    It shouldn't stop you buying new content on the account, just doing any of the above three things. If you want to do one of them on your other account then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will remove the current association, but if you then do one of them on the other account then you are likely to start a 90 association to that account instead : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support.

    I was recently given an iMac 2011 for christmas, on first boot up i entered my iTunes details sucessfully and finnished setup. Before doing anything on the iMac I updated the software, however when it finnished the app store said that there was an app update, when I tried to download it said that it was only available for another itunes account "[email protected]". The problem i have is that i cannot download the update unless i sign in to that account, i dont know who this is and wish to remove it from my iMac but dont know how. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

    Hello! scottocs
    Me to have the exact same problem, I can not solve the problem.
    To solve the problem:
    1. Download the twitter app from the App Store,
    2. Right click (control click) the app and click show package contents,
    3. Open contents,
    4. Copy the folder that says '_MASReceipt'
    5. Paste that folder in the same location in the app you downloaded off of the Internet, replacing the original one,
    6. You might need to restart the App Store or your computer for the change to take affect,
    Please tell me how to remove this iTunes account?

  • HT1539 Transferring digital copies between iTunes accounts

    Hi
    I have recently set up my own iTunes account, but digital copies of films I have got in the past are on my old account &amp; the redeeming codes won't let me download them again. Does anyone know if its possible to transfer digital copies between iTunes accounts?
    If not, is there any way I can get these films on my iPad that's linked to my new account?
    Any advice anyone can give me will be helpful. Cheers.

    It's not possible to transfer 'normal' iTunes purchases between accounts, and I assume that the same thing applies to digital copies. You should be able to copy them onto the computer that you sync the iPad from, authorise that account on it (via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option in iTunes), add them to its iTunes (File > Add To Library), and then sync them to your iPad

  • 3 iphones one ipad how do we change between itunes accounts

    We have 3 iphones and one ipad. driving me crazy how do I switch between 3 itunes accounts?
    Also have to back up to Windows 8 (hate it) don't know how I'm working on that today

    One of them can keep the current account.  Since the iCloud email account must stay with the current account, whoever uses it for email might be the best one to keep it.  You can then migrate the other phones to separate accounts, along with a copy of the data.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Once all the phones are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete each other's data from your accounts.

  • How to share an Itunes account with another family member

    How do 2 people share the same music library and Itunes account.

    Most of the 24 inch LCD have multiple video inputs, which means you can get connect two different video source (i.e. desktop, laptop) to the same display, and then switch between with only a few button presses.

  • HT1495 How to split an iTunes account

    I am currently sharing an iTunes account with my daughter. Now that she has an iPhone, iPod and her own debit card, I would like her to create her own apple ID but I don't want her to lose all of the music she has already purchased. Is there a way for her to take her music with her? I don't need or want it on my account. I am new to using Apple products so I am clueless with this. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Sorry, but that isn't possible. Purchased items are permanently tied to the Apple ID used when they were purchased. She will have to re-purchase her music under her Apple ID. Also, see
    iTunes- How to share music between different user accounts on a single computer
    iTunes- How to share music and video
    Only Apple is able to perform what you want, but it is up to them to decide if your reason is sufficient for them to perform such an account revision.
