HT4436 How do I set up a separate iCloud account ?, at the moment my wife and myself share the same iCloud account, even though we have different iTunes accounts on the computer.

I'd like to have separate iCloud accounts for myself and my wife, at the moment any photos, calendars etc transfer to our iPhones & iPads from each other. I'd rather not have this as its a nuisance when we receive items that one of us doesn't want!.

1. How do I separate my library from my kids'? We have different itunes accounts, 1 computer.

How do I separate my library from my kids'? We have different iTunes accounts and log in and out when we sync our various devices, all on one Windows 8 (new to us) computer. All I want is to plug my devices in and sync ONLY my songs! I've been managing to manually manage and check and uncheck songs, but it's such a pain and that doesn't always work anyway. It is as if there are more than 2 locations for my music and I just want them all to show up in my own library. Does that make sense? Please help.

Stop manually managing content, that is simply not smart or efficient.
Create playlists with the desired content, sync those playlists to the device. iTunes remembers what to sync to each device.
If you really want to split the library, that can be done but it will be a time consuming and entirely manual process.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
Whilst you want seperate accounts, I assume this is to keep your contacts etc seperate, you can still both use the same iTunes account, which will allow you to share your music etc.

iTunes- How to share music between different user accounts on a single computer
You cannot merge two separate libraries across user accounts. Photos does not have the function of merging different Photos.library files. If you have Aperture then you can merge the two before migrating over to Photos.

Adding media directly to the media folder does not make it appear in the library. iTunes doesn't really 'look' at that folder except to go to specific files when you call upon them from a library. You have to drag new content to each user's library, that is assuming each user has their own library.

HT4436 How do I know what is saved in iCloud? My settings always says Sam amount available even though I have added over 1000 pictures.

I pay $100.00 a Year for iCloud &for more MB of space, I want to know I am backed up in iCloud??

Photo Stream does not count against your storage, and your photos of your camera roll is included in your backups.

How can I share iBooks authored by me using iBook Author on 2 different iPads synced to two different computors? Both iPads have different iTunes accounts.

I am in the process of authoring an eBook using iBook Author. The project is a work in progress and I want to share the draft with other collegues. We each have our own iPads synced with other computers and we have different iTunes acounts. I attempted to preview the book on the new iPad, but the iPad did not come up in the available device window.
Am I missing something or is there a way around this?

How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

My husband and I have separate iTunes accounts and multiple devices (iPads, iPhones, iPods etc) how do we share our music and apps between our devices if we have different iTunes accounts.

Help! My husband and I have multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod ) that we we have linked to individual iTunes accounts ie he has his account with iPad, iPhone, PC and iPod linked/sync and I have my account with iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, PC etc.. How do we share our music and apps across/between our accounts?

It probably means that only one of you can use iCloud or at least sync calender/contacts with it. I would guess that you could manually manage the other phone as you have before.

How can i delete my data in my sisters ipad now that i bought myown ipad my nephew cant play clash of clans because my vilage keeps appearing even though i have already sign out to the game center

please i need your help

Hello BadWolfe,
Here I am to save the day! Let's take a look and see what's using so much data on your iPad. Let's start with what version of the iPad do you have? Also, what's the exact iOS version installed? Can I assume that you do not have any apps running on its own? Some examples are email settings and GPS services. If you can share this info along with your common uses on the device other theb Pandora then we can investigate.
Thank you…

How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone (with separate info on each of course) ? Can this be done? A little step by step would be greatly appreciated; just short step by step though, I can follow fairly well.
Kindest Regards,

You would each need to use your own user account on the Mac, you can do this at system preferences > users & groups.

HT5620 How can I set up two separate accounts on one iPad?

How can I set up two separate accounts on one shared iPad?

The iPad is meant to be a single user device.
It is possible to use multiple ID's on an iOS device, but when you switch ID's and download content with another ID, you associate the device with that ID for 90 days and lock yourself out of the other ID for that 90 day period.
So while it is possible, it's not advisable.
