HT4914 My wife and I have separate Apple Account IDs. Is it possible to pool our music and upload it as one for iTunes Match?

Looking to pool all our songs onto one iTunes Match account. Is this possible?

Hi Rysz,
Haven't tried this yet however not sure I understand why I would download my wife's purchases when I log into her iTunes account. my purchases are the ones I am trying to get n our PC. Appreciate your clarifying for me.
Thanks

HT5622 my wife and I have separate apple ID acts so that we could register our iPhones and iPads under our own names. Can I have my iMac synch iCloud with both apple ID's so that both our calendars end up on our iMac?

If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

My wife and I have separate apple accounts. Can we use both our accounts on the Ipad?

Is there like a way to log out of one apple account and log on to another?

Yes ... Settings>iTunes and App Stores> Apple ID - tap the ID showing in there and sign out. Then sign in with the other ID.
But ... I don't recommend doing that. If you sign into one of the accounts in order to download past purchases from the account onto the iPad - you lock yourself out of the other ID for 90 days. The iPad was not designed to be used with multiple Apple ID's.

HT4914 Sounds like, because my wife and I have separate Apple ID and separate iMacs, that we would not be able to use iTunes Match as a single unit/account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you are using different ID's for iTunes, then unfortunately you can't share an iTunes Match subscription.

My wife and I have separate AppleID accounts and always have. For some reason after she bought the iPhone 5c, whenever she tries to update her apps, it comes up for my AppleID and asks for my password. Please help on how to fix this!

My wife and I have separate AppleID accounts. Ever since she updated to the iPhone 5c, for some reason when she tries to update her apps, it comes up with my AppleID and asks for my password. I cannot figure out why this happening and how to fix this. Please help!

I have had this issue lately.
I can only put it down to using the one computer to update all our IPads for me and my wife.
Some of our apps, although downloaded from both our seperate accounts on our IPads, are the same.
However after plugging her IPad into the computer when my AppleID is on ITunes, I think something strange has happened and when she then tries to update Apps on her IPad and I try on mine it now asks for the others Apple ID password.
The only way I have found to counteract this is to update an app one at a time, if that app asks for your wifes password then delete it and then reinstall it.
That has solved it for me.
Hope this helps

HT204053 My husband and I have separate apple IDs, how do we use the same iTunes account

My husband and I have separate apple IDs , how do we use the same iTunes account

You don't. Each ID is associated with a separate account. Each of you should maintain a separate user account on your computer so as to maintain separate iTunes Libraries. Do not sync your phone with your husbands account or Apple ID and vice-versa or your data will become inter-mixed or worse - deleted from the phone.
Try to understand that iDevices are intended for use by one person with one Apple ID, one iTunes Library, and one iTunes account. They are not multi-user devices.

HT204074 My roomate and I have separate apple id's both have purchased music on iTunes and have authorized eachother on our computers. What happens if he makes his computer one of my iTunes Match devices? Will he still be able to use his music and mine

My roomate and I have separate apple id's and we both purchase music from iTunes Store on our own id's. we authorized eachother as users on our computers. I recently purchased iTunes Match. If he sets his MacBook and iPhone 4 as one of my devices (1of10) on iTunes Match will he be able to see his purchases and mine on his computer? Will I be as to see his? Can he still use his apple I'd? I'm new to this....
FYI I have iPhone 5 and windows vista my roomate has iPhone 4 and a macbook

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes.

My daughter and I have separate iCloud accounts set up on out desktop PCs and our iPhones and iPads. We want to share the usage of a Win 8 laptop and will log in using using separate user accounts. Is it possible to set up our own iCloud accounts?

No it is not possible. Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

My wife and I have separate user accounts but want to share our Photos libraries or merge them as one. How do I do this?

My wife and I just bought an MBP (mid-2014 version) with Retina display and have separate user accounts with Admin. privileges.
We want to share our Photos libraries or merge them as one. How do we do this? IS it better to just have one account instead?

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.

My wife and I have separate email accounts and separate iTune accounts on my iMac. Having Apple ID issues. My wife's ID pops up when I try to update apps or purchase music

I have a 4s, my wife has a 4. I have an iMac and we both have our own email addresses and separate Apple IDs. Lately, whenever I try to update an app, my wife's Apple ID pops up and no matter what I try - new passwords, turning phone on&off, ect., nothing changes. I find this iCloud to be confusing and have not signed up for it, but it little popups keep referring to it. I want my iRelated stuff to be mine and hers to be hers. Help! Thank you

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, and all future updates will require you to enter the password associated with this ID, whether you are using this ID for app purchases or not. If you are seeing your wife's Apple ID when you update apps, you must have one or more apps on your phone that were purchased with her ID. The only way to stop the prompt for your older ID is to delete these apps from your phone and not transfer them back when you sync your phone with iTunes.

My wife and I have separate store accounts but the same music in the libraries. How can I separate them?

Music is duplicated in two separate accounts. How do we separate them?

Hi topper42,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
You have a couple of different options for syncing different devices on different accounts to one computer. One option is to create a completely separate computer user account to keep the accounts separate. Another option could be to create a second iTunes library in the same user account. Please use the following information to read over and use as a reference.

I downloaded Microsoft office on my IMac. I share this with someone and we have separate Apple Id's.

Is it possible to share this with the other Id on the same computer. If so, how do I do it?
Thank you in advance.

you start the program called finder it's icon is 2 faces or 1 face with 2 colours on it
when you start that it's like file explore on windows
there Applications should be listed under Favorites
it's also applications you see when you click the circle with the rocket on it assuming you are running lion or mtn lion

My wife and I have different Apple ID's however when we purchased IPhone 4s and set up our accounts our contacts and apps merged!!! how do we prevent this?

My wife and I recently purchased IPhones (4S), we use an iMac and an IPad 2, we have separate Apple ID's but when we fired up our new phones and began setting up the systems, our contacts and applications merged. Since then I have disabled ICloud from my phone and my iMac until we can figure out how to avoid this crossover of information. Are we overlooking something?

Hi Shadow,
The apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that they were purchased under. Your iCloud accounts are also Apple IDs, so although you can sync the apps to your individual device via iTunes, you will be syncing them to the devices, not to iCloud.
Since you are still purchasing everything under one Apple ID, then I'm presuming that they live in a single iTunes library on your computer or Mac? If that is the case, then you would just want to:
Hook up a device to the Mac or computer
Select the device when it shows up under devices
Once selected, the Device Profile screens display to the right - click on the Apps tab, and select which ones you want on that device.
Also check all the other profile pages to make sure they are set up to sync the things you want to sync to that device.
On the info page, you will see that you can sync Contacts & Calendars via iCloud or via iTunes. If you want a single source for contacts & calendars for both of your devices, sync them via iTunes. If you want your own sets of contacts & calendars, sync them via iCloud.
Do you have iCloud set up on the computer or Mac? If so, which iCloud account are you planning on using?
Some of the decisions you will want to make will depend on how you have your computer or Mac configured in conjunction with iTunes. One Apple ID, but one or two User Accounts for the computer or Mac? iCloud on the computer or Mac? What do you want to share and to not share?
Post back with any questions.
Cheers,
GB

Separate Apple accounts for Facetime on multiple computers?

I have an iMac, and an Air (as well as as two iPads). Do I need to have separate Apple accounts to run Facetime on each of these machines? I have run into some confusing logins with them and am starting to wonder. I have yet to successfully use Facetime.

No ports need to be forwarded. The gateway merely needs to allow outgoing connections to certain ports. Unless you've blocked outgoing traffic, you don't have to do anything.
