HT1495 I am a teacher and we all have the same itunes account for school. I started downloading apps and it was downloading on others' ipads too. I shut off all the syncing on my ipad but other teacher are saying they still getting my stuff. What do I/th

I don't know if they just got my stuff from before and are just seeing it now or if they still are getting my information. I don't have anything to hide but it's awkward knowing other people are seeing all you are downloading and even messaging. I want to talk to them more and know exactly when and where they are receiving the information but I haven't yet. I talked with one teacher and she thought they just have to turn off the syncing or automatic downloads on their ipads. Will that stop it?

Turning off automatic downloads will stop the other iPads from getting your downloads. You should all do this on each of your iPads.
Settings>iTunes and App Store>Automatic Downloads>Off.... Music, Apps and Books - All Off.
As far as Messaging, if you are all using the same Apple ID, you will all receive the same messages because Messages uses the Apple ID email address as the means by which you are contacted. Apparently all of the devices were set up with the Apple ID, which is fine, but you should all associate a new email address on each device where you can be reached. One device can keep the Apple ID as the contact address.
Settings>Messages>Send and receive>Add another email address.
Add your own unique email addresses in there. Apple will verify those addresses. Go to the inboxes of those email addresses and read the email from Apple. Follow the instructions in the email in order to finish the verification process.
Then go back to Settings>Messages>You can be reached by iMessage at ..... and remove the Apple email address from all but one of the iPads. Or you can just uncheck the Apple email address as the contact address, select the new email address, and check the correct email address as the "start new conversations from"
You will now all have your own email addresses as the address at which you can be contacted with the Messages app.

The old Apple ID (presumably your dads) owns those songs and your new Apple ID does not. However, your dad can authorize your iD to use the songs by going to Store > Authorize This Computer from your iTunes menu and entering his Apple ID and password.

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both?

Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both? Everytime I try to sync my new iPad, it syncs all the apps that are on my account. If I can do this, can someone tell me how please???

Yes you can, easily. When you plug the first pad in to sync, note the name of the pad on the last pane. Set up for that device whatever you want to sync. When you are done, plug the second pad in. Make sure it has a different name on the left pane. Then sync to that pad whatever you want. I tunes will remember what you did on each pad, and will start from there the next time you plug in.

I have a Verizon Iphone 4 though my job. I also have a At&t Iphone 4 for my personal phone. Can I use the same Itunes account for both phone or will I need a separate account for Verizon Iphone?

I dont live in US, live in Japan.. but I do have 2 iPhones, one 3GS and one 4. I use same iTunes Account on both.
You might have a little "problem" if your payment were by Credit Card, everytime you try to buy something (I mean, try to download something on your iphone, not from your computer) , your going to need to verify your payment... but if u use iTunes Gift Card, you wont have any problem with that

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You should use the same iTunes account for all your devices.

I have had an itunes account for many years. I have recently purchased music on my iphone 5 and it is not showing up on my Macbook itunes account. WHY?

Why would they?
Do you have Automatic downloads enabled? Note this only works for items purchased after it is enabled.
-> iTunes Store: How to enable Automatic Downloads
Also, see this -> Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

L added her sister R to a family plan. Can R have her own itunes account for syncing the phone and downloading her own apps, or must she always sign in using L's account and password?

So, if R wants to sync her iphone 5C but still have L pay for it on the family plan, can R just get her own itunes account for buying music and apps? Or is she stuck using L's account?

Family Plan as with the cell phone carrier?
Is so, the iTunes account or Apple ID is not related to the type of cell phone plan an iPhone is under.
Will the sisters being using the same computer and iTunes library?

Should i have a separate itunes account for different ipads in my home?

I have four ipads registered in my name on itunes. Should each ipad have it's own itunes account? I have them on the same account for apps and music purchases, but messaging and facetime are an issue.

No. Facetime and iMessages can be used with different email addresses, but there's no need to have separate iTunes accounts and in fact it is recommended you have only one iTunes account.
Basically you can go into Settings->Facetime and Settings->Messages, and change the "You can be Reached by Facetime At" address to a different one for each device. Same applies for Messages under Send & Receive.
Then you can use that address to contact that specific device.

I am trying to figure out how I can have a "main" itunes account for all purchases, but have seperate accounts for my children so they can use iMessage and other features of iPod touch. Also, they would be able to download free items.

Can you have one install of iTunes on a PC or Mac, but have multiple Apple IDs tied to it?

You can't have multiple IDs associated with an itunes account, but you can have one ID one 1 device and another one, but currently its impossible to merge accounts.

So i have had an itunes account for forever. all of my musoc has been pusharchsed and is now saying that they can not be located. i have well over hundreds of songs help please

all my music is gone. i have h8jndreds of songs that now say "they cannot be loctaed" this is bull crap

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

My sister and i have shared an itunes account for a while and we want our own accounts now but she still wants all the music she purched on the joint account and i still want all my app purchases for my ipod touch.

is there any solution to this problem?

Okay, but this is nothing new. Purchased content has ALWAYS been permanently tied to the AppleID account used to buy it. It has never been transferable between accounts, or playable on computers not authorized for that account.
It has nothing to do with how you sync or save your OWN music. You cannot authorize your computer for music bought with an AppleID that you do not control.

How do I FaceTime using two iPhones that are on the same iTunes account?

My husband and I share the same iTunes account for both of our iPhones. How can we FaceTime each other?

Pretty easy actually. I had this same issue a few weeks ago when I got my wife an iPhone.
Go to Settings > FaceTime > int there, it will say recieve calls at "X" amount of locations. When you open that, you can check and uncheck email addresses and phone numbers. You can also add and/or remove email addresses.
Once you do this, you will want to go into Messages and do the same thing there as well. Otherwise you will recieve each others iMessages too.
Good Luck!! Cheers!
