HT203167 I have 2 iTunes accounts.   How do I combine in the same library?

I have 2 iTunes accounts.   How do I combine both into one library?

It's not currently possible to delete an account, all you can do is stop using it. If you have any content that you purchased/downloaded with that account then it will remain tied to that account (you can't move or transfer content from one account to another) - so you will need to remember the id and password if you ever want to re-download it and/or authorise it on a new computer.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

  • HT5616 I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account.  I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account.  How do I do this?

    I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account.  I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account.  Any help on how I can I do this?

    You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

    You should see an app called app store on your iPhone, or you can connect via your computer using iTunes.

    Is that not enough to connect facebook to the new account?
    I mean, it may automaticlally replace the link with the old account.
    Please just tell me if i'm wrong or right :)
    Hey,
    To be honest, I have absolutely no idea!
    I just take the route that I believe minimises any risk of something blowing up server side, and whilst it may well automatically disconnect, it only takes a few seconds to disconnect before connecting to the new account, and just eliminates that risk of a load of errors popping up :P

  • 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.

  • Can I have 2 accounts, one on each computer, with the same e-mail address?

    I have a video ipod and an itunes account on my computer. I would like to set up the other computer with itunes as well. It would be used with a shuffle only. The computers share an e-mail address. Can I just download itunes on that computer and set up another account there, or will that cause problems? I do not want to risk the current library on my current account.

    I'm beginning to understand what you are driving at now. iTunes (the program) and iTunes (the account) are only peripherally related to each other. If I so chose, I could install and use iTunes (the program) without ever creating an iTunes account. I'd install the program, rip CDs (or if I wanted to raise the pirate flag, download music illegally) and import those songs into my iTunes library. Then I'd listen to the music and sync my iPod.
    My iTunes account serves only two purposes - to buy and download music from the iTunes store and to limit my use of the songs that I buy to only 5 computers. (An observation, not a complaint, mind.) The iTunes account has nothing to do with keeping my iTunes (the program) library in sync.
    With a single exception what songs my wife and I keep on our individual computers has nothing to do with our iTunes account. This is especially the case since the vast majority of our music comes from CDs we owned long before Apple invented the iPod and even now we buy CDs rather than download. So two external drives connected to my home desktop is the repository for all our music and our other computers contain only a subset thereof. If I rip a CD on my desktop and want those songs on my work computer I either have to take the CD into work and rip it there or copy the mp3 files and take them into work. The same would be true for music I buy at the iTunes store. I'd buy them using one computer and then manually transfer them to all the computers I've authorized for playback.
    Should one computer go belly up, it would have no affect on our other computers. As I said, with one exception, the iTunes library isn't tied to our iTunes account. That one exception is the authorization to play music we've bought from the iTunes store on up to 5 computers. If some disaster struck one of my computers, depending on the severity of the disaster, I'd either deauthorize that single computer or if the computer were totally unusable go to Apple's website and deauthorize all my computers.
    Hope this helps, and keep asking if it doesn't. Marking a thread answered doesn't kill the thread or stop those who are subscribed to it from getting notified about activity.

  • How do I move my iTunes account to another user name on the SAME computer?

    Hi,
    My kid was the first in my family to get an iPod. When we created her account, since she is young, I put it on my laptop under my user name. Months later, I decided to get an iPod and when I went to set up an account, it wouldn't let me. My neice told me that I had to set up a new user name account on my computer for the new itunes account. I did this, but now I find that this is TOTALLY inconvenient. My computing is done under one user name and, yet, to sync my iPod I have to log out of all of that and go into the other user name. I HATE this -- had I realised this would be such a pain in the neck, I never would have set up my daughter's account under my user name. Is there a way that I can move my itunes account to MY user name and move my daughter's to the other? Can I have them both under one user name? Thanks for any help/advice

    Welcome to AD!
    Each windows user has an itunes database file that has ratings, playcounts, etc.
    It is named iTunesLibrary.itl
    So in addition to putting the music in a shared location as Neil suggests, you need to swap your ITL files from each account.
    Here is a good background article on that, you are using method 1. My advice is to stay far away from method 3, it's too easy to forget which ITL file itunes last used.
    You could also switch to method 2. I used that for several years until my husband started using iTunes and I did not want his play counts in my library.

  • Two iTunes accounts - how do I combine them?

    I have two iTunes account (by accident). Some of my purchased music and apps are in one account and some are in the other one. A year or so ago, I was told that it was not possible to combine them. Has this changed? I would really like to have ONE iTunes account.
    Thank you,

    No, it hasn't changed.
