You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

I accidently backed up my husband's iphone immediately after mine without selecting "set up as a new device". His phone is now all messed up and is set up just like mine. Is there a way to undue this?
Hello KerriSueotto,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
If your husband had iCloud setup on the phone and was backing up to it, then he could restore from his iCloud backup.
He can check for a backup in the Settings of his iPhone.
iOS device
Tap Settings, and then tap the iCloud icon.
Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
From: iCloud: Managing your iCloud storage
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847
Note: He may have to sign into the iCloud section of the iPhone Settings.
If there is a backup listed there, then use this article to restore from that backup.

Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?
This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that? -
We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?
There is no "adding" a device. Simply plug the iDevice into the computer. iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit. -
I have an iPhone and iPad. I would like to get my husband an iPhone. Are we able to sync all devices and share info with both iPhones and the iPad, using a single email address?
Thanks for that. He is one of the last holdouts in IT so an email address for him would just mean I have 2 to check so that is what I am trying to avoid as we move into retirement:)

We are using apple tv to try to access our itunes account on the computer. We see our library of music but when we click on the song it searches for a long time and then says that it cannot access the itunes store. Any ideas on what we are doing wrong?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore) -
How many accounts are allowed?
Thanks for your help.
tvI think the OP is talking about local user accounts on the computer having access to the installed Adobe software, not multiple Adobe accounts.
e.g. once Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements are installed, will User 1, User 2, User 3 and User 4 on the local computer all have access to the Adobe software?
My understanding is yes but only the registered user should use the software to comply with the EULA. -
I first thought the Ipad would be used by my wife so I set up her email account. She didn't use it that much so I did and set up my accounts and took her off. Now when I send an email it shows her address as the sending party (some of the time and I don't know why only some of the time) - how do I fix this

Is it possible to delete the original Admin Account, having set up other Admin Accounts on the computer?
Thanks,
iHopeOnce you have an additional Admin Account, there should be nothing "magical" about the original Admin account.
The Account you use to delete the original MUST be an Admin Account, or the old account cannot be deleted. But that is the "Acid test" for the veracity of the new Admin account. -
previously i set up iphone 5 same user (account) with my brother.. Now i want to set up as my own User... but try to Erase all content n settings and plug in itunes to set up as a new iphone but it's keep sync with my brother phone ... help please ?
I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases. -
I recently updated my mac to mavericks, and I can't use my iPhoto unless I update it and I have been trying to update it but it says I've "purchased it on a different account" or "the item has been cancelled/deleted" what do I do? It also says its unavailable. Please help.
Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

My ipohne and ipad use the same account. My wife wants to setup her own account for the ipad and utilize family sharing. How can I change the account in my ipad?
Hi,
Are you talking about changing the Apple ID used for purchases in iTunes? If so go to 'Settings->iTunes & App Store-> then 'tap' on the Apple ID that appears and click Sign Out on menu that appears. You can now login with a different Apple ID.
Regards,
Steve
