HT2731 How do I apply for a separate iTunes account on the same computer?

I have an iPhone and my brother has an iPod touch.  We only have one computer at our house ao we have been sharing my account.  I get all of his music he purchases whether I want it or not.  Is there some way we can both have our own personal separate accounts?

Hi...
Create a new user account on your computer.

That way you can login to your account and he can login to his.

    M Parker, 
    Yes, since you are trying to keep things separate, that is exactly what you would do.

    Can I have two separate iTunes accounts on the same computer?  My wife's music is much different than mine.  Can we have different iTunes libraries to work with on the same computer?

    Yes. Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down as needed, or use separate Windows user accounts on the computer.

  • Two separate itunes accounts on the same computer

    Ok I need help before I throw my computer and iphones.
    I have two separate itunes accounts, and two separate iphones. I'm using the same computer.
    I'm trying to sync my wife's iphone to her itunes account on my laptop, but it keeps wanting to load my apps to her phone.
    Now I signed out of my itunes, and signed into her's.
    How come itunes is pulling my apps up and wanting to sync them to her phone? 
    I authorized her phone to my laptop as well.
    This doesn't make sense at all.
    How can I just start from scratch and just have itunes backup what's on her phone, and thats it?

    The issue is this is referring to music, I'm asking about applications.
    If I setup a new user on my laptop, when I open itunes, isn't it going to just pull the same data in itunes already?
    And if this is the way to fix it, I would need to have a separate user on my laptop for every device that isn't linked to my itunes account? (seems extreme)

  • How do I set up two different Itunes accounts on the same computer

    I have one PC laptop and my daughter and I both have IPhone 4's.  I want to sync both phones using the same computer but want totally different accounts so that I don't have her music, aps, etc and vice versa.  I've tried this many many times and can never seem to get it right.  If I sign out of my ITunes account and then plug her phone into my computer, it syncs my stuff onto her phone.  HELP!

    First thing you need to do is disable auto syncing in iTunes. This is from Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, etc.
    Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is set up separate log in accounts for the laptop. This will allow you to have iTunes in each log in and they can have different content. iTunes cannot have separate content with the same log in and different Apple ID, but you can manage two phones with the same iTunes account. See if any of the information in this support document will help you http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495 but the best solution is separate computer log in.

  • How can I have two devices with separate iTunes accounts on the same computer without sharing libraries?

    I have an iPhone 3s and my sister has an iPhone 3.  We use them only as iPods.  We each have our own iTunes account, but we have to share a computer.  How can we both syn our devices without sharing our music and app libraries?

    The most reliable way would be to set up individual user accounts in WIndows. Then each of your iTunes libraries will be completely separate.
    Regards.

  • HT1386 How do I merge two separate itunes accounts on the same computer?

    I set up a new account on my Mac computer. The original account (that still exists) has all of my itunes music in it (it is a shared computer, but I decided to set up my own account), but the new one doesn't. How do I transfer the music from my phone to the new itunes account or merge the two?
    Basically the itunes library on the new account is empty, so I can't sync it with my phone or else it will delete all of the music on my phone.

    Creating a new user on your computer is the easiest way to keep the media separated.

    Remember that you can only use media and apps with the account they were bought with.

  • Making separate iTunes accounts on the same computer

    My brother just got an iPod, and he keeps using my downloads so I can't put them on a second device. Is there a way to make it so you have to log in to start doing anything with iTunes?

    I'd suggest you give your brother his own Windows user account, then password-protect your user account. Then your brother won't be able to access your iTunes library, assuming you remember to log out of your Windows account and don't let your brother know your password.
    But just FYI, you can put a purchase from the iTunes Store on up to five iPods (with the exception of a movie rental which can only be on one device at a time), so there should from a technical standpoint be no problem just because your brother is loading your tracks on his iPod.

  • Is it possible to sync two separate iPhones, using two separate itunes accounts on the same computer. Have not been successful so far.

    We have two iPhones and two itunes accounts but one computer. The phones are 3GS but are new. I have had no luck in getting syncing the phones individually. I have called Tech Support. They sent me a link that I had already been to. This is more than frustrating.

    How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    In case you didn't fully understand what dallon meant, it means another user account on your computer. You set that up in Windows and then instal iTunes onto that account.
    That way, you each have your own desktop and your own itunes. You can link to the songs in the other person's library as well, but you cannot run both iTunes at the same time. (That simply means you need to close it on the first account before opening it on the second account.)

  • How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

    How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

    Load the library which doesn't contain the songs and drag them into the open iTunes application window. If you need to move them between different computer user accounts, put them into /Users/Shared/.

  • How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account on the same computer?

    How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account to the same computer?

    I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them.  I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
    I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory.  I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods.  [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
    I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.
