HT1349 How to separate iTunes accounts?
Hi, My teenaged daughter and i each have our own individual iPod touch.
We used to use the same computer to sync our devices and now seem to have one library even though we have our own apple ID's. It is very time consuming to have to change the settings for syncing every time we want to sync, and getting her mother's music on her ipod is a disaster!
We each have our own Apple ID and i could have her sync on ald PC while i sync on the imac if necessary, but how do i separate the iTunes accounts into 2 clearly separate ones, please?
Thanks!

How to Separate itunes accounts
My wife and I both have the iphone 6 plus. We have one imac with separate itunes accounts. Whenever I download an app on my account, it also shows up on my wifes itunes account. How can I keep the two accounts separate?
Are you both using the same Store account? You may need to disable automatic downloads for your library and that account.

How to separate iTunes accounts on one Apple ID
When my wife and son each bought an iPhone 5, I put my Apple ID account on their phones so they could purchase apps. At that time I just had a plain ol' dumb phone.
Last November I purchased an iPhone 5S to use on my company's account. Of course, I used my Apple ID account to purchase apps.
Just for clarity, their phones are on Verizon and mine is on ATT.
This caused various issues so I created Apple IDs for each of them, although I don't know if my son has ever logged in with it.
My wife took her phone to Verizon to try and get help and was told that we need to disassociate their phones with my iTunes account. He admitted, though, that he's not an iPhone expert and suggested we call Apple.
I'm guessing someone has dealt with issue and may be able toYou're welcome.
That means the same shared Apple ID is being used by iMessage on their devices. You can have a different Apple ID used for the iTunes and App Store and one for iMessage and FaceTime. You are seeing iMessages only which is by design when using the same Apple ID for iMessage on multiple iOS devices and Apple computers, not all text messages as in SMS/MMS.
They can log out of iMessage with the shared Apple ID at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID. Select the Apple ID and at the menui window that appears, select Sign Out. They sign back in with their Apple ID to register their cell phone number with their Apple ID email address. The same with FaceTime on each device. -
HT1349 HOW TO CHECK ITUNES ACCOUNT BALANCE?
June 3rd, 2013
Hello,
I just have one itunes question to ask: where do I go in itunes to see/retrieve my account balance?
Thank you so much for your time.
Sincerelly,
Miss Shayla McCartney
HAVE A WONDERFUL SUMMER!!From your itunes on the computer, you should be able to click on:
iTunes store
Account ( under quicklinks on the right hand side of the window)
See all (Under purchase history)
It may ask for a password!
I hope this helps
P.S. (It should also be located in the upper left next to your apple id email) -
I have two separate itune accounts under two different email accounts and would like to combine them under one account. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?
If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with. -
I'm getting very confused with setting up multiple user accounts on my Mac Pro for my wife and I. We each have a separate iTunes account, and we want to keep our music libraries seaprate. I've set up two user accounts on the Mac Pro and I have my iTunes authorised and logged into my user account on my user account. Under my wifes user account (i.e. a separate log in on the computer) I'm trying to set up her iTunes account, but I can't download or play anything from the cloud - it just says "This computer is already associated with another iTunes Account" and tells me that if I 'transfer' then I won't be able to use the other one for 90 days! This is really annoying as my wife can't access music she has purchased on her iTunes account on the home machine. We're not trying to do anything dodgy, just access our music on our own accounts on separate log ins on the same machine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone (with separate info on each of course) ? Can this be done? A little step by step would be greatly appreciated; just short step by step though, I can follow fairly well.
Kindest Regards,
Phil T.You would each need to use your own user account on the Mac, you can do this at system preferences > users & groups.

I want to be able to transfer my apps from my original itunes account that I have on my personal iphone 3 and work ipad 3 to my work iphone 4S ,as well as purchase more more apps for the work iphone with the original itunes account. Plus I need to sync all 3 of them with my work tower computer. I really appreciate you're trying to help me out.

How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device (iPhone 4) without erasing either set of data when syncing with itunes?
Hi,
Depends on what you trying to setup but for purchases, you can roll down at the very end of the iTunes/AppStore pages to logout of your current account and then login into a different one. Then your purchase will be billded to this new account. Everything will sync as you used to but in order to use the purchased content in iTunes or other devices, you will need to authorize them (you can have up to 5 devices authorized for an account). -

My daughter has been using my iTunes account to buy music and apps. I now want to set up a separate iTunes account for her, with a different login. How can we transfer the music and apps she has already bought to her new iTunes account?
Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?

My wife and I each have an iPhone 4s and an iPad Mini. We have separate iTunes accounts. She just finished reading a book on her iPad Mini. Now I want to read it on my iPad Mini. How can I get the book on my iPad Mini?
Thank you for your reply Domingo. Your suggestion worked as far as sending me a link to buy the book at iTunes. But it did not allow me to download the book from my wife's account. I did finally get an answer from Apple. It took an entire day of emailing back and forth and the final answer was relatively easy once Apple finally decided to give up the solution. Basically, you have to open ibooks and sign out. Then you have to sign into ibooks using the book purchaser's Apple ID and password. Then you can download the book onto your device. Not too bad, huh? It only took a whole day of Apple people sending me wrong instructions before they figured it out. Geez. What a disappointing experience.
