HT204053 i have set up both an i pad * ipod with the same itunes account but now want to seperate them
Hi can anyone help.
I have set up an ipad & ipod using the same itunes account but I now want to unlink them as everything my son downloads appears on my i pod. also i want to change certain e mail accounts?
How do i do this , not very technically minded so help needed!!!!
Many thanks
You can't. Apps and content are tied permanently to the iTunes Store account through which they were purchased. Her MBA will need to be authorized to your iTunes Store account and she'll need that account information to be able to update the apps and re-download content, or they'll need to be repurchased through her iTunes Store account.
Regards.

I have multiple phones that share an apple ID for music. The problem is that when we use imessaging we see eachothers messages. Can I create a separate account solely for imessaging so private messages can be sent but keep the same itunes account and continue sharing music?
Yes.

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. -
My wife and i share the same itunes account but we have separate libaries , can i set her up her own itunes log in to free up my icloud memory.
Hi tomgoggs,
iTunes purchases do not count against your iCloud memory space. See this article for what iCloud is used to store -
iCloud: iCloud storage plan overview
If you are having an issue with iCloud memory being full, you may want to use the steps in this article to help -

I have download a video on my iPhone but want to watch it on my iPad which both are connected to the same iTunes account but it hasn't shared to my iPad !?? When I try to download on my iPad says I've already purchased and would I like to buy again ?
Movies are not part of the automatic downloads feature. Apps, music and books only.
If you live in the U.S. you can download many Movies again for free using the same Apple ID that you bought the movie with. If you do not live in the U.S, that feature is not available. Not all Movies are available at this time either.
You can transfer the movie to iTunes on your computer and then sync it to the iPad if you like. -
Can I have 2 different IPods on the same itunes account and computer?
I have a nano gen. 4 and a new nano 7.
Can I have them both on my itunes account and computer?
thanksYes. You can easily have multiple iPods on the same iTunes account on the same computer. Each iPod will show up with its name when plugged in, and each iPod can have its own set of preferences (i.e., what music, videos, photos, audiobooks, etc. to sync).
What you can't do easily is use the same iPod on multiple computers with different instances of iTunes. One instance of iTunes has to be "in charge" of an iPod.

My partner and I both have iPhone 5s and an iPad. We registered all three products with the same iTunes account as we download music and movies together. I have noticed when my partner sends me a message it also appears on my phone that I have sent it AND recieved it. The same goes for when I text him. I send the message to his phone and my phone also recieves it. Facetime does the same thing. Its very strange. Does any one know what I can do to stop this from happening?
To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime. (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime. -

I have two laptops authorized with the same itunes account. However, there are different playlists on each laptop. One laptop is messed up and I cannot get on the internet with it, so I was able to deauthorize it from the itunes account. I thought that would bring the playlists over to the other computer, but it did not. Is there a way to do it?

I have an iPad and iPhone backed up with the same icloud account but because iv two the storage has filled really quick, how can I have separate icloud accounts?
You got it with that same apple id thing. You can use different apple id's, but then they will not sync. Apple does allow as many free apple id's as you want, but they are in the business to make money.

My husband and I both have i phone 4 on the same itune acct but his phone is saying its a new device and will not let him buy anything off of our acct without answering security questions. these questions are not the ones we set up the acct with. my iphone device is not having this problem. Help!
I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!! -
My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account for both our iPhones, but she wants separate apps from mine. How can I set up a second account in her name, delete the apps on her phone and start from scratch with just the apps she wants on her phone?
If you have the old phone, connect it to iTunes, right click on the device, and choose transfer purchases. If you no longer have the old phone, I don't believe there is a way to recover them, as they were on your original device.
