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

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.

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?

  • How do I split an iTunes account/library into two?

    Hi.  I have a single Apple ID and iTunes library that I share with my son. 
    We would like to split the library up so that he has his own account and library on his laptop and I retain my own stuff on my PC.  We don't need to share any of the stuff in the library - he likes his stuff and I like mine - so all I need to know is how to divide it up and to move his stuff onto the laptop. 
    Can this be done?
    If so how?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks.  Almost none of my stuff was downloaded from the Apple store.  It's mostly cds that I have downloaded and tracks I have bought from Amazon.  Would it be possible to put them into a separate account?
    No. An iTunes account is for only iTunes purchases.
    You can put them into a separate iTunes library.
    The simplest way is to copy the entire /My Music/iTunes/ folder from your computer to /My Music/ on his computer. His library will be identical to yours.
    Then each of you can delete what you don't want.
    He can use teh iTunes account you have now and change the info in it to his own.
    You can create a new iTunes account for yourself if you want one.

  • How can I split my itunes account?

    We have had an itunes account for both of my teenage boys.  Now that one is off to college and the other is into different music we find it very complicated to have 2 different accounts.  Is there any way to keep items they purchased on this account but split it into 2 accounts?

    You can create a new account (e.g. via this page), but you can't currently copy or transfer content from one account to another - so anything that was bought or downloaded via your account will remain tied to your account

  • Can you split an iTunes Account?

    I am going through a divorce, and was wondering if anyone ever heard of a way to split the songs purchased on one iTunes account, between two accounts (ie. before/after the divorce).  Neither of us wants to give up the entire iTunes library we have amassed over the last 16 years.  Not all of it was purchased through iTunes, so I can recover all the other music, but the stuff that was purchased through iTunes:  trying to figure out how to handle that.
    Thanks - Jeff

    No mechanism to do so is available from your end. If desired, you can ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll do it for you, but they probably won't.

  • 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.

  • Can you split an iTunes account into two separate iTunes accounts?

    My son and I have shared my iTunes account since he was in junior high. We have both added to it over the years, amassing a huge library.  My son has now left home and joined the military.  At this point we want separate accounts - so we can pay separately for our purchases, back up to our own Clouds, etc.  Can he take his purchased music from my library and move it to his own, new account?  This would leave me with only the music I have purchased, which is fine with me.  The library is currently on both of our computers.

    You can't split accounts nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
    For new purchases he can have his own account, and he can have that and your shared existing account authorised on the computer's iTunes that he uses (Store > Authorise This Computer menu option).
    If he uses iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownloads an account's past purchases then he may tie that computer (or iOS device) to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - so he wouldn't be able to do any of those three things on a different account until the 90 days have completed.

  • How do i sync Itune accounts with out loosing all of my music on one account

    I am a new Itunes account user and would like to sync with my mothers account because that is where all of my music is but i do not know how to sync two seperate accounts to do so. If you know how or have anny other way of helping please do so. Thank you

    If it is purchased music, it will stay with her account.  Purchased from the iTunes store.  If the music is from stuff you or she ripped (imported from) cd's, that can be synced to your phone using iTunes.
