HT1689 My wife has iTunes account on her iPad and I have iTunes account on my iPad can we share purchased apps?

So I purchased an app on my iPad but sometimes I use her iPad can I add her to my account or vice versa so that we can have the purchased apps and music on both iPads?

You can't add the app to her account, that copy is tied to yours. Do you sync to the same computer's iTunes ? If you do, and that app is on it (if it isn't then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy it over), then you should be able to sync that app to her iPad. If you use different computers then you could copy it over and add it to her computer's iTunes library (Store > Authorise This Computer for your account and File > Add To Library to add it) and then sync it (you can find where an app is stored on your computer by right-clicking it in the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library and selecting 'show in explorer' on the pop-up, and you can then copy it to, for example, a flash-drive to copy over to her computer).
If you log into your account on her iPad (or computer's iTunes) and re-download that app then you risk tying her iPad (or computer) to your account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

My wife has just got a iPod Nano and I have a Ipod Mini

My wife has just bought herself an iPod Nano and I have a Mini-iPod.
However she plugged in her Nano and it opened my iTunes and attempted to put on the album artwork for my albums.
I have told her to reset to factory settings but I have a question.
Do we have to install the disc again for a seperate iTunes or is there another way to register her iPod with my copy of iTunes?

See these articles about using more than one iPod on one computer, and with either one or more iTunes libraries.
Multiple iPod installations.
How to use multiple iPods with one computer.
If you have the latest iTunes, an easy way to create a new library is to hold down the 'alt' key whilst opening iTunes (for Macs), or hold down the 'shift' key (for Windows).
This will give you the option of either using the current iTunes library or creating a new one.
There are various methods of transferring different songs to different iPods with a single iTunes library.
One is to manage the songs manually.
With this setting, you can drag and drop songs/playlists etc onto the iPod from iTunes, and also delete and/or edit songs which are currently on the iPod without affecting the iTunes library.
If you wish to keep the convenience of automatic sync, then you could set the iPods to sync with "selected playlists". This setting can be found in the iPod summary screen under the 'music' tab. With this setting, different playlists can be transferred and later deleted from each iPod without affecting any playlists stored in iTunes or the playlists on the other iPods.
Also, on the 'summary' main page you will see the option to "only sync checked items". With this setting selected, if you remove the check marks from any songs in iTunes, they will not be transferred to the iPod. You can restore the check mark if you want to put the songs back on the iPod at a later date.
Be aware that when playing songs in iTunes, any songs that do not have a check mark against them will be skipped over and will not be played.

I have a $20 credit on my iTunes account from Gift Cards and I have no credit card. Why can't I make an in-app purchase?

I've never had a credit card on my iTunes account because I mostly purchase free apps and because I don't own a credit card. If I want to buy an app I use a family members Apple ID. I had two $10 iTunes gift cards and I put them as credits to my iTunes account. Now I'm trying to make an in-app purchase of something worth 19.99 and it says that my iTunes account has insufficient funds. The billing information appears and I choose "none" as I always have for it to charge it to my credit balance but again it says that I have insufficient funds. I checked in my iTunes account and it still says that I have a $20 credit balance.

You have a Puerto Rico address on your account ? From a quick search I've found one site from somebody in Puerto Rico that includes a screenshot for an app receipt showing tax of 7 cents added to a 99 cent purchase. Are you able to view the purchase history on the account that you've been using, and see what prices show on them (e.g. if the store's listed price or price plus tax) : Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, then 'see all' link next to the Purchase History section.

My partner and I have now both got an apple mac we share the same itunes account but want to use different icloud id's so that I dont get all her documents sync to my computer... is this possible?

my partner has an ipad and i have a mac book pro... we share the same itunes account (apple id) but believe we can have a seperate apple id for use of the icloud... we do not want each others documents to be in sync with ipad and mac book... help? thanks

Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

I have an iTunes account with my own music library. My wife wants to have her own music library. Is there a way of setting up a sub account for her, or do I have to set of husband playlists and a separate set of wife playlists?

I have just bought an iPad. I have already got an iPod and my wife has an iPhone 3. We use the same iTunes account. I am receiving text messages which people are sending to my wife's phone on my iPad. Could you please advise how I can stop that happening. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
You need to create a new account for either yourself or your wife, you can choose whether to use this account for iCloud and therefore keep your personal data such as the contacts etc separate, you can continue to use the account you are both using for iTunes so that you may share the content you have already purchased, but each use your own account for iMessage which will stop you receiving each other's messages.

How do we change itune and icloud accounts? My wife and I have seperate accounts but she cannot access hes, only mine. This causes many issues like facetime, text etc. Do we have to reset her devices and start fresh?

My wife has 3 audiobooks on her Iphone 5. These have been deleted from Itunes. How can these audiobooks be deleted from her Iphone 5. Thanks

Hello BDCrowd,
It sounds like you are wanting to delete these audio books from the iPhone. I recommend going here in your settings:
Tap Settings > General > Usage to view the amount of space each app and its content takes on your device.
From: iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1867
Then tap Music, and swipe left on AudioBooks and choose Delete when it appears to delete them all in one swipe.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

My wife and I both have iPads and two separate iTunes accounts, and do NOT want to share apps

My wife and I share one MacBook. We both each have an iPad and we each have our own indvidual iTunes accounts. That is we have two separate individual iPads and two separate iTunes accounts. I do not want her apps on my iPad, and she does not want my apps on her iPad.
When my wife tries to update her apps on her iPad, it shows my user ID and requests my password. It does not even give her an option to put in her own iTunes account ID and password. This happens even though she is clearly logged in on her iPad under Settings --> Store with her own iTunes account, and have the same setup on my iPad (my own user ID and password for my iTunes account). I do not have this problem on my iPad.
How do we keep our apps separate? This is very annoying!
Thanks!

There's info here on setting up separate libraries and user accounts. You won't have to reload (or re-import) all the music, just copy it.
The reason I suggest separate accounts on the Mac is because if you have the two libraries under the same user account, iTunes will also open the last library that was open in that account, and you'll always have to be mindful of which library that is. If you open iTunes and find it's not your library, you'll have quit, relaunch holding the option key and select the other library.
No, you won't have to log in and out of the Mac. (If I'm understanding your question here.) Multiple accounts can be logged in at the same time. And with fast user switching, you can toggle between user accounts.
I'll admit that maintaining the two libraries gets a little tricky, because if you share all the same music, you'll have to add it to one and update the other. (That won't happen automatically.) But I think Home Sharing makes this much easier to do.
Hope that helps!
