HT2731 Can we have more than one Apple ID for iTunes on the same computer

We have a family computer.  On this computer we have an iTunes account.  My son would like to set up his own iTunes account on the same computer.  Can this be done if he creates his own Apple ID and can we use the same credit card # to set up the account?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Of course. Just create a new user account for him, so he can have his content on another user without messing your data

    can I have more than one version of adobe reader at the same time?

    If I may add a qualification: on a device running full Windows 8, you may have both Adobe Reader Touch and Adobe Reader (normal desktop edition). This does not apply to the primitive devices which cannot run desktop apps (running "Windows RT"), and while I may be wrong, I believe that the Surface 2 is such a device.

  • HT2731 can i have more than one apple id on a computer? As when we go away we want to facetime from our macpro to our main mac at home and both are registered under the same apple ID. Thanks

    Can you have more than one apple id on a computer. We are going away and want to facetime from our macpro to the mac computer at home but both are registered under the same apple ID. What should we do ?

    I will share with you what I have done to manage this with my family.  While the solution isn't without flawes, it seems to do the trick.  First, you need to have one person who is managing the synching of everyone's devices.  In my family, I have three iphones, about to be four, and five ipads.  We all synch to the same apple ID to allow one another to take seemless advantage of our Itunes, which is on our Imac.  To synch individual music or video interests, we simply select which playlists we want and manually synch that way.  A couple of us use imatch and the cloud to make the entire library accessable as well.  With respect to the imessage, mail, contacts, etc. we each have a gmail account for our individual emails, contacts etc.  So for instance, my forth grade daughter has a gmail account that we choose to synch her contacts, calendar, etc to and then that is also the account where she receives her imessages from on her ipad and itouch. My son, who has an iphone and ipad, does the same thing, but under settings, he goes to imessage and checks his phone number and his email as his preferred way to receive imessages and texts.  My wife and I do the same thing.  To avoid having everyone see one anothers contracts etc, we only synch contacts from our individual email accounts.  Here is the downfall to this:  When you update your phone or add a new device, apple always wants to reset everyone's facetime and imessage settings and then low and behold we are all receiving imessages from one another's friends etc.  To work around this, I simply take each of their devices and go to their imessage settings and only check the email and phone numbers relative to their devices.  I dont' know is this is the best solution, but it seems to work for us.

  • Can you have more than one apple id under the same account

    can you have more than one apple id under the same account

    Stop using the same Apple ID for iMessage on these devices.  Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID shown, sign out, then sign back in using a unique ID for each device.  (Or, just sign out and stop using your Apple ID for iMessage.)

  • Can you have more than one apple id on one mac?

    Also i was wondering if you can create a separate apple id but keep your music/podcasts/audiobooks and transfer them to the new apple id.  Please help

    You can use different IDs for different accounts, i.e. one for iCloud, one for ASC one for iTunes etc etc. Apple don't really recommend this, but plenty do it.
    You can also have more than one iCloud account (obviously need different IDs), but you can only have one primary iCloud account on each device.
    You cannot transfer purchases from one account to another.

  • Can I use more than one Apple ID for an Apple TV?

    I wanted to use more than one Apple ID account on my Apple TV, is that possible?

    You can only use one ID for purchasing from the Apple TV, but you can stream content from multiple libraries even though they have different ID's

  • Can I have more than one user account on itunes?

    My wife and I currently have a laptop each, and so I have my itunes account through my macbook and my wife has hers through her macbook.
    We are looking at getting a Mac Mini, as my wife's macbook is on it's last legs, and we would like to have both itunes accounts on the new Mac to sync our phones/ipod/ipad with. Is this possible? I don't wish to pay for the music my wife buys, and she has no interest in paying for Apps i use etc. Would it be possible to run 2 itunes accounts through 1 itunes on 1 mac?

    An iPod touch cannot be synched to more than one computer at a time. You can have content from more than one iTunes Store account, but that content either has to be collected onto a single computer for synching to the iPod, or downloaded directly from the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • HT2731 Can I have more than one iTunes account?

    I have a UK account on iTunes which I use to buy British music, but I have recently moved to Norway for one year and was wondering whether I could set up a second account with my Norwegian bank account to purchase Norwegian music?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes you can do, but you would end up with two accounts, you might also wish to move your current account to Norway.
    Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
    In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
