I have 2 sons that were sharing one account and now I want to separate them, will I run into any issues ?

I have twin sons and my wife sharing one itunes account and now from what a relative told me I should split them up since face time from my sons itouch is showing up on my wife's iphone ... so I started a new itunes account for all 3 of them, and now I want to sync each of their devices with their own accounts, before they had all the same music, etc... will I run into any issues when syncing each of their devices... meaning will I see a message like "this device is synced with another account and then it will say if I proceed it will erase what is on the device" ... ?? will I see this or will it just sync as normal
Thanks

You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

I have an apple i tunes account and now I want to set up my daughters new ipod and another, but how do I get the account to recognise 3 ipods?

I have an apple i tunes account and now I want to set my daughters i pod on my account as well, but the account only seems to recognise one ipod when i want it to recognise 3

There is no limit to the number of iPods you can sync with one computer, iTunes library, or account. See this article for different ways of managing multiple iPods.

Are you saying that iTunes does not recognize the other 2 iPods?

HI,
You can create and add another Screen Name to iChat.
From iChat 4 you can have as many AIM Logins and Jabber Logins as you want.
"AIM" in this case includes the Apple IDs (@mac.com and @me.com ending names) that also work as Valid AIM Screen Names as well as AIM registered Names.
"Jabber Names" includes using Google Mail IDs and Facebook IDs as well as any registration with any other Jabber server.
If you are not happy with the one you have you can delete and stop using it.
Both Adding and Deleting are done in iChat > Preferences> Accounts.
Highlight an Account/Name and then the minus button to delete.
Using the Plus button show you the Add Screen.

I bought iPad and I can not access, A message appears asking me account and password when i return to the person who I purchased it from him, he told me that he forgot the account and password
I want a solution to the problem, because in this way I will not benefit from the iPad

There is no solution. You have to provide the ID and password. There is no way around it. If the person you bought it from can't provide it, return it and get your money back.

I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. What do I do?

I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. So when I want to download apps I have to sign in with apple id but I can't so I made a new one, However I can't seem to be able to delete the old one. What do I do?

You can't merge Apple IDs. You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then then 'Apple ID account Security’.

Hi,
After creating a Screen Name or User ID with the relevant service you can enter this in iChat
With iChat Open go to the iChat Menu > Preferences >Accounts
Use the + button at the bottom of the List
Chose from the top item whether the Account (Screen Name) you are adding is going to be AIM, (inlcuding Apple variants), Jabber (including Google variant) or in iChat 6 a Yahoo account.
Add details as required.
Click Done.

I recently added a itunes gift card to my account and now it wants me to reenter my credit card info and when i do it says credit card declined?

I recently added a itunes gift card to my account and now it wants me to reenter my credit card info and when i do it says credit card declined?

I think I had a similar problem the other day. I purchased an app with a cc that had been canceled by my bank with out me knowing it had been. Once I realized the cc was no longet active I added an itunes giftcard thinking that would allow me to purchase items. Well everytime I tried to ourchase somrthing with the new gift card it kept telling me that I had no funds. So someone in the apple store told me that until the app purchase with the old expired cc cleared on that cc then i would not be able to use any other form of payment. So I had to call my bank and asked them to reactivate my old cc for a couple seconds while I repurchased the app with my bank on the phone. Once that purchae cleared then it allowed me to use apple gift cards. Sorry for long answer but I think this might help you.

I found one other way to do it. I just deleted them all out of my iTunes library. Now I can re-import them from Window's My Music file with the original artists' names intact.
Thanks for your help, Matt!

I have recently changed my bt home hub and now my airport express won't connect to it? Any suggestions?

I have recently changed my bt home hub and now my airport express won't connect to it? Any suggestions?

Anytime you change out a modem or modem router like the HomeHub, the AirPort Express needs to be reset back to factory default settings and then set up again.
The reason for this is that the Express is retaining some or all of the settings to connect to your "old" modem or hub, so it will not work correctly with a new device unless you start over again from factory default settings on the Express.
Power up the Express for a few minutes
Hold in the reset button on the side of the Exprsss for 8-10 seconds, then release and allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Now, set up the Express again, like you did originally with the "old" modem or hub that you had previously.

I have multiple users on one account and now want to split the account. How do you split and account?

My family and I have used the same account for many years. We are now looking to create individual accounts and separating the music and other items appropriately. How do you split an account?

It's not currently possible to split an account, all content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it. You can try leaving feedback for Apple, and maybe at some point it will be possible : http://www.apple.com/feedback/

HT1473 I have songs in iTunes that were loaded from a CD. I want to make them MP3 format so I can use a converter to play MPe files in my wifes car. I plan to use a USB plugin and pass the songs through a cheap FM type converter. Don't want to spend hundr

I copied music from CDs into iTunes on my desktop. I downloaded a lot onto a USB stick. I want to play them in my wife's Toyota Avalon but I must use something like an FM converter and that requires all songs be in MP3 format. How can I reformat the CD songs into MP3 format? Not important enough to buy an iPod Nano!!

"but I must use something like an FM converter and that requires all songs be in MP3 format."
No it doesn't.
An FM converter takes audio and sends it over FM to the radio.
A USB stick does not play audio.
You need something to play the audio (like an iPod) and plug the audio out into the FM converter.

I have 2 sons that were sharing one account and now I want to separate them, will I run into any issues ?
