You can use one iTunes account as it sees each device separetly. I have my iPod, iPad, and iPhone all on one iTunes account without any problems.

Can I create a separate icloud account for my husband but still use the same itunes account? I want our contacts, photos and storage capacity to be separate but be able to share music and apps we purchase.

Welcome to the Apple community Pammy.
Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.

I have multiple apple phones on one account can i create a new iTunes account for other iphone

I have multiple iphones on one billing account as well as itunes. Can I create a separate itunes account for other iphone?

You don't need to create two separate libraries.
If you want to sync different content onto each device, select the device in iTunes, select the tabs across the top and sync what you want.
To make it easier, create different playlists for each device and sync only those playlists.

I have an itunes account. However, I need to copy music onto a different iPod than my own. How do I do that? Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for that iPod?

An account means an iTunes Store account which is an online service. Do you mean that, or do you mean a library on a computer?
iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time. You can sync that iPod to your account but it will wipe everything currently on it.

If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.) When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
I could post another 2 pages of stuff trying to cover every possible scenario. It would help if you let us know exactly what you want to do. Are you trying to sync just a few songs (like giving them to a friend which is something iTunes is deliberately set up not to do)?

HT1495 I followed Method 3 to create a separate iTunes library for each device, and now I can't find my original iTunes

I pressed held down shift when I opened iTunes to follow the method to create separate iTunes libraries, and now I cannot find my original iTunes. I am so frustrated.

Does the original library file still exist on the computer? Hopefully when creating the new library it was done in a seperate folder as I do not believe iTunes allows for two library files in the same location.

With only one computer and email address is it possible to create two separate itune accounts.

my husband and I each have Iphones but only one itunes account - this is causing problems in playing words with friends, etc. as it appears we need separate accounts. also when we sync our phones we both get all the same data and we really need separate data. how can we fix this

method one from the following support article should do the trick: How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer.

Can I create a new itunes account for my kids and still keep old music on both?

My kids currently have ipod nanos. They are getting ipod touches for christmas. Originally we setup a "family" itunes account on my computer. We now want to set them up their own account on their own laptop. Can we transfer old music from nano to touch to the new itunes account?

You can usehHome Sharing so the music will be accessable on their computers, Their computer will have to be authorized for the iTunes account. For more informations see:

My phone number appears on my daughters iTouch and she can receive my text messages. If I need to creaye a new user account for her itouch, can i use the same iTunes account or do i need to create a new iTunes account?

My phone number appears in my daughters list of acceptable numbers to receive texts or messages on her iTouch.
I sync her iTouch on my iTunes account.
Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for her to prevent this from happening? or can i use the same itunes account and just create a separate a differne user name for the same itunes account?
If i need to create a separate iTunes account, how can i save her data and game levels?

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

How do I create a new Itunes account for my external HD?

Hi. I am a graduate student with a huge amount of music files for academia. I store the academia music files on my external HD, since it will just take up too much space on my computer. I wanted to create a separate Itunes account just for my external HD music files. How do I go about doing this? I tried to set it up and created a new account, but it automatically synced to my computer Itunes and I ended up deleting all of my personal music, video and reading articles on my personal itunes account.

As a graduate student you will quickly learn the importance of exact terminology. I presume your colleague told you to copy the "iTunes folder". You can't copy just iTunes (well, you can, but it isn't easy). Saying "iTunes" on its own refers to the application itself, not the library.
You do not need to make a new account. This again gets confusing unless you tell us exactly what you did. As I said before, an "iTunes account" is something you log into to make a purchase from the iTunes Store. A "computer account" is a whole new user area on your computer and isn't made on a different hard drive. An "iTunes library" is a collection of files and folders that generate the window you see when you start the iTunes application.
I do not know how you are ending up with two icons on the dock. While it is possible to do that it isn't at all normal unless you somehow are running two copies of iTunes at the same time. That is exceedingly difficult to do and people have unsuccessfully tried and would like to know how you did it.
You can have two independent libraries and there won't be any crosssover from one to the other. I have four on my computer. Use the procedure I outlined earlier to create a second library and to switch between them.
I was a graduate student many years ago and one of the first things I learned to do so I didn't lose years of research was to make multiple backup copies of anything I generated by computer, especially before performing any major changes to the computer such as installing new software or substantial file rearrangement. I kept several copies in different buildings on campus and a copy at home in another part of town just in case the campus was wiped out by a disaster.

HT1918 why do i have to create a new itunes account because I moved to Canada from the U.S.?

why do i have to create a new itunes account because I moved to Canada from the U.S.?( My current account won't let me change my address to canada so my billing address for account is incorrect, making it impossible for me to buy anything). Will it affect what I am able to put on my device i.e. already downloaded apps, music, etc?

This is not possible...
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

Will all my apps delete if i create a new itunes account on my iphone 4???

If i create a new itunes account not on the computer but directly on my iphone- that is log out my itunes account on my iphone and create new one and use that new account to download an app will the rest of my apps delete before i even sync it to my computer? If later i sync it to my computer then will it delete.
Also it would be helpful if you could name some things to avoid all my apps being deleted.

I have three different accounts and at some time or another have bought apps with them all. If there is an update the Iphone automatically asks me to login with the appropriate credentials to update. They all live happily on Itunes and I can log in and out on Itunes as well with no ill effects.

I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air I can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud. It keeps going back to my old apple id and doesn't afford me to alter it.

How do I create 2 seperate iTunes account for me and my daughter

I already have a iTunes account. Just got my daughter a iPod...BUT I don't know how to create a seperate iTunes account for her on the same computer. I do not want her to have my play list and visa versa.

Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and create a new library, or use separate Windows user accounts. This isn't the same as using different iTunes Store accounts.

I plan to loan my iPod Touch to a friend for one month to use in Europe. How can I keep my iTunes account private, but enable him to create his own iTunes account to use on my iPod Touch?

I plan to loan my iPod Touch to a friend here in the USA for one month to use on his trip to Europe. How can I keep my iTunes content and my account private, but enable him to create his own iTunes account to use on my iPod Touch? Also, do I need to de-register my iPod Touch for all of this to happen--and have him register my iPod Touch in his name for that month he is using it in Europe?

The suggested advice in this support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478 wasn't a help at all, because the option "enable disc use" in the summary window of itunes doesn't appear.
*From the article*:
Products Affected
iTunes 7 for Mac, iTunes 7 for Windows, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, iPod mini, iPod, iTunes 8 for >Windows, iTunes 8 for Mac
No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb. These can be retrieved, again using a 3rd party application on your computer, such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy> but you will not get back original quality images.
Good luck,
Dud.
