HT1918 My husband and I share an iTunes account but we would like to have separate accounts. How do we set that up?

My husband and I currently share an iTunes account but we would like to have separate accounts. How do we do this?

you would have to create a new appleid for one of you in itunes or at appleid.apple.com since you cant split up an account
you can't move purchases from one to another but you can always keep that account for the store and just use the new one for icloud facetime etc

I have bought the new Iphone5. The old phone "Iphone4" has the same account as my daughters iphone 4. Now I would like to have separat accounts, is that possible? Can I make a new account and still make a copy of my iphone 4 to my new iphone 5?

Updated IOS 8 to mine and my sons phone and we share an Apple ID but we are now getting each others pictures how do I fix that?

I Updated my iPhone 5s and my sons iphone 5 to the IOS8 and after we did that we started getting each others text messages which I thjnk I fixed but we are still getting each others pictures, I want to keep him on my Apple ID I just don't want to share pictures and text messages. before the update we didn't have this issue but now we do please help fix this situation!

Hello cmdenham97
The question I have is how are using your Apple ID on both of the iPhones. If it is just for purchases, then you can just have that Apple ID for purchases and then have separate accounts for iCloud to sync that data. Check out the article below for more information.

HT5312 I gave you my rescue email address to change my security questions and I can find nowhere a link to have you email me. It is very frustrating. I have only 12.36 dollars credit on my itunes card but I would like to have access to it.

I gave you my rescue email address as I forgot my security questions and I am still awaiting a link to have you provide me with new security questions. I have only $12.36 cash credit in my account, but I would still like to be able to download songs. This is very, very frustrating.

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

When I first got my I Phone 4 I was asked if I wanted Face Time and I said no. Now I would like to have it. How do I do that. It is not currently available on my phone.

When I first got my I Phone 4 I was asked if I wanted face time and I said no. Now I want it and would like to know how to do it. Friends who have it say it should already be on my phone.

FaceTime is part of the OS. I don't understand why you would be asked that question. The only phones that do NOT have facetime are those intended for some countries in the Middle East where it is illegal. Facetime has been removed from those phones and can not be added back.
Where did you get the phone?

HT5624 My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

A couple of different approached:
Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however.

Use different email address (gmail?) just for FaceTime and Messages.

My husband and I share an iTunes account. I just got a mac, but everything I send by message from the mac appears to come from his phone. How do I correct this?

My husband and I share the itunes account. I just got an iMac. Everytime I send a message from my iMac, it appears to come from my husband's account phone number. Is there any way to fix this? Also, when I open iMessages, all the texts are from his phone (his text conversations).
Thank you so much for your help!
Myrna

Try This:
Open up the imessage app on your Imac. Once you have it opened go to top left corner of your screen next to the apple picture and the word MESSAGES appears. Click on it then click on preferences and uncheck your husbands phone and number and or any other numbers which are checked. I had same problem this fixed it. Also if you wanted to you can open up your own Apple account, but that's not really necessary. My wife and I both share the same as you do

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

My kids set up itune account on my computer and no one remembers the password. I want to start my own itunes account, but I would like to get some of the music off this account. Any suggestions?

my kids set up itune account on my computer years ago and no one remembers the password. They started new accounts on their macs. I want to start my own itunes account, but I would like to get some of the music off this account. Any suggestions?

The easiest way would probably be to recover the data of the old account and change it to match your current info, after that you can continue to use the account without any problems. To recover your account go to: Apple - My Apple ID
Alternatively if you want to start a new account do it and then contact iTunes support to see if the y can transfer your purchases (I know of cases on which they have done it)

How can I transfer my i tunes account from my PC to my family computer (Macbook)? My husbands account is already there but we would like to see both accounts on the same computer.

Copy the whole iTunes folder from the My Music directory to the Music folder in the Home directory on the Mac.
The easiest way to do this is to create another user with the second library.
If you want both libraries on the same user account then you will need to choose which library iTunes opens everytime you launch (hold down the OPTION key while launching) it as itunes can only read one library at a time. If you do not choose on launch it will open the last library it was connected to. You will also need to rename the iTunes folder when you move it (eg: iTunes2) because your husband's library will already be in the Music directory in a folder named iTunes.
You can also leave your library on the PC and turn on Home Sharing. As long as you leave the PC running with iTunes open, you will be able to access it from any Mac, Apple TV or iOS devices on the network that is signed in to Home Sharing with the same Apple ID.
