I am sharing an i-tune account and want to change to my own - how do I do this?

I am sharing an i-tune account with another user and I want to have my own. All was good until everything started getting shared in the cloud. How do I stop one account so I can add another?

You need to create your own Apple ID/iTunes account.
All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID used to download the apps, and the same for any other iTunes content downloaded with the Apple ID that includes DRM protection. Long story short, when downloading an app update for an app that was downloaded with the shared Apple ID, you must use that Apple ID and password to download the update.

    I have 2 accounts and want to delete/remove one.  How do I do this?

    Look at Store > Purchased > Apps for each of the accounts in turn.
    Media isn't really a problem, but as you've no doubt discovered updating apps from multiple accounts is unnecessarily complicated.

  • My husband and I share an iCloud account and want to see eachothers calendars. How can we do this?

    I want to sync calendars with another iPhone that shares the same account how do I do this?

    If you share the same iCloud account any data you sync with the account (contacts, calendars, etc.) will be merged and appear on both phones, not just the calendar.  If you still want to do this, all you have to do is go to Settings>iCloud and sign into the same iCloud account as the other phone.  Then turn the data you want so share  (such as Calendars) to On.
    You can also maintain separate iCloud accounts, and keep your contacts and other synced data separate and still share an iCloud calendar.  This would also give you both 5GB of iCloud storage for your data and backups rather than sharing the same 5GB of storage, and is the preferred method for most people.  If you would rather do this, set up a new iCloud account in Settings>iCloud, the share your iCloud calendar as described here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694.

    If his Gmail account is under the Gmail app and press the app until it wiggles then press the extra deleted. If this account is under the Apple email and then you can go to Settings, mail contacts calendars and then select the account and remove it.

  • I only have 5c in my US account and want to change back to Australia, but my account needs to be 0.  Anyway around this?  I have no US credit card.

    Ah.   I understand now.   I suspect it is the technical problem that the money keeps the account alive.
    Go to  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/  - and click on Express lane followed by iTunes > iTunes store.   Explain to them and see if they will help you raise a new account.
    Remember, your account and means of payment must relate to the country you permanently reside in.

  • System Preferences quits suddenly. I have lost the dock, including the trash and ability to change desktop image. How can I replace this part of System Preferences? Where can I find Trash?

    System Preferences quits suddenly. I have lost the dock, including the trash and ability to change desktop image. How can I replace this part of System Preferences? Where can I find Trash? All other aspects of System Preferences work.

    just that that is one method, and lacks provision for working boot image and for an emergency - Lion gives a small minimal emergency boot environment but may lack all the utilities you need to use and run, even some drivers that your mac requires for add on PCIe.
    Just grab and look through Help in Carbon Copy and SuperDuper, both excellent and each has their use - together - for cloning.
    And do you have two TM backup sets? ought to consider that also, rotate daily or make a weekly set. Otherwise you are putting all your eggs in the proverbial one basket.

  • HT2534 i have no option of NONE in i tune account. and visa method is also declined.than how can i make the account in itune?

    dear sir.
    i am using iphone 4s. i have created apple ID. BUT  when ever i want to install any application. than ask for itune account, there is no option of NONE. AND ITS NOT accepted visa card. what should i do now? because i don't have master amd amex facility.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Did you follow the instructions on the HT2534 page that you posted from when you created the account (I've just tried the instructions and I got the 'none' option on a new account) ? If not then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store. If you are trying to use a debit card then they are no longer accepted in all countries.
    If you are being prompted to review the account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
    If not then you will need to create a new account, and use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

  • HT2589 I already have 2 devices on one apple ID account and want to add apple TV.  How do I add another device on an existing apple ID account so that I can download movies from the cloud to any of 3 devices?

    how do I add another device on to my apple ID account so that I can download movies etc.. from my icloud to any of the 3 devices on the account?   I already have my iphone and ipad on the account and for some reason my 3rd device (apple TV) dropped off.   If you can help, greatly appreciated!!

    Hello there, HannaGriffin.
    Since the Apple TV (1st Generation) is the only one that has storage, I would recommend the following Knowledge Base articles for troubleshooting issues with authorization:
    Apple TV (1st generation) may not play content purchased from the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1359
    or
    Apple TV (1st generation): Apple TV repeatedly asks for password to play iTunes Store rentals or purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2845
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • I was sharing apple id with husband on our iPhones but now we want to each have our own, how can i do this without having all his info on his phone be lost?

    When husband and i got our iPhones we shared the same Apple ID but not that we have added an iPad and Mac he wants his own apple ID how can I change the apple id/icloud to his own without deleting all his phone and resetting?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You both need your own iCloud accounts. I would set up the second iCloud account and get all the data showing in both accounts, before trying to delete anything. You will need to delete the unwonted contacts and appointments etc manually.

  • I have 2 iCloud accounts I want to amalgamate them both.  How can I do this? On one account I've bought extra storage.

    I have two iCloud accounts I want to amalgamate them both. On one account I've bought storage.  MyiPad cant be used because the message not enough storage appears. I'm pulling my hair out.

    I'm afraid you can'te amalgamate two iCloud accounts; the nearest you can get is to export the datea from one and import it into the other.
    Your iPad is probably telling you that it doesn't have enough storage. Buying iCloud storage won't have any effect on your iPad. You can't increase an iPad's storage, you would have to delete something.

  • I have just purchased my 1st mac and want to start my iTunes fresh.  I have all my music on an external hard drive and want iTunes stored on it.  How do i do this

    I have just purchased my 1st Mac Mini,
    I haven't imported any music yet except from purchased music.
    I have 100gb of music on an external hard drive (already formatted to Mac OS Journaled.
    I want my iTunes to be store on the External Hard drive, and to update my External Hard drive with new music I add to iTunes.
    I also want to know the best way of adding my music on the Ext Hard drive  e.g.:  "add folder to library" or "import"
    I plan on buying a Macbook Pro soon, and want to be able to use the same iTunes library.

    Launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click on Choose Library, and specify it. If the external drive doesn't contain the iTunes database files, create a new library there and import that music.
    If the library contains any rented movies, they won't play on a different computer.
