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/

  • Can you have multiple users for one account?

    Can you have multiple users for one account? if so how do you set it up.
    We are using it for our department and it would be great to see who created what form instead of it being all one name.

    Each person should have their own account. You can easily share the forms with other people in your department. You will be able to see who the author of the form is.

    can I have multiple users use one apple account?

    I interpreted his post to mean that he meant multiple human users, not multiple devices.  Hopefully, he'll clarify.

  • How can I have multiple users on one apple id?

    How can I have multiple users on one apple ID?
    ie: I have my apple ID with my own credit, how can I set up credit for my son under the same apple ID, so that he can still access the same apps I've already downloaded and paid for?

    I've been trying to figure out a clean way to do this too. I think you may need more than one Apple ID – one that is shared and used to purchase "sharable" items and then "individual" Apple IDs for you and your son. That's the idea that I'm pursuing for the moment.
    It seems that there must be a way to do this, App Store purchases for the Mac are licensed across multiple machines. iPhone app purchases have "all your devices" licensing. Makes me think that Apple has a process in mind for sharing an account (or associating a device with multiple accounts).
    Other things I've learned:
    - Apparently you can't merge Apple ID accounts. I asked about this once at an Apple Store and was told that there was no way to do it.
    - If you share an Apple ID the Messages app behaves in a somewhat surprising manner. It must use your Apple ID to decide where messages should be sent because all users get all messages. This can make it very hard to organize a surprise party :-)

  • I have recently bought an iphone 5 and have synced it with my girlfriends laptop and taken some of her music. i have also bought music off my iphone. i want to sync the iphone with my parents imac and take some of my dads music. Is this possible?

    i have recently bought an iphone 5 and have synced it with my girlfriends laptop and taken some of her music. i have also bought music off my iphone. i want to sync the iphone with my parents imac and take some of my dads music. Is this possible without wiping the iphone?

    An iOS device can only be synced with one iTunes library.

  • Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem.  When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music?

    Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer.  But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

    Get AppZapper, a free program that removes apps.  Make sure everything has been removed by checking with Spotlight once the app has been zapped.

  • Can you have multiple users on one apple Id and utilize iCloud?

    My family shares an apple Id and we each have multiple Apple devices. When we use iCloud we "cross pollinate" each others devices with contacts, calendar events, etc.  is it possible to manage multiple users on one apple Id with iCloud activated or are separate ID's required?

    iCloud isn't designed as a multi-user service. Either you all have the same ID, and all your data is available to everyone, or you all have separate IDs and keep your data separate. You can share calendars, so that for example you could all have your own calendars but have one which is common to everyone:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479
    If you want to share contacts you will have to do it manually. If you want to do file transfer you will have to find a third-party alternative.

  • How do I have multiple users on one itunes?

    I have one computer and 3 ipods. I pay for all the downloads on my childrens ipods, but I am having difficulty on connecting and using all 3 ipods. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to do this?

    When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically three ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
    a) Sharing a single iTunes library
    b) Creating Multiple Libraries in a single user account
    c) Creating multiple user accounts.
    Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
    Sharing a Library and/or User Account
    If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish): iPod - Syncing Music
    Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
    iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
    How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
    Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
    Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page:
    Adding songs to iPod shuffle - Windows
    Multiple Libraries
    It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
    Separate User Accounts
    Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
    I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:

  • Can i have the same itunes acct for two ipods (one nano and one shuffle)?  the shuffle is new and i want to duplicate the music. how do i do this?

    I have a nano that's a couple years old with an itunes acct.  Just got a shuffle and want to duplicate the playlist on the shuffle.  When I plug in the shuffle to the existing acct nothing happens.  How do I copy that music onto my shuffle.  thanks.

    Yes.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphone/ipads as you like to one computer/library.  This has nothing to do with your issue.

  • I have a 2nd generation iPod touch. I want to sell it. How do I clear my account from the iPod?

    Want to sell old iPod and need to know how to clear my account from it.

    Connect the iPod to a charging source and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. It can take a few hours that is why it should be connected to a charging source.
    Alternately you can connect the iPid to your computer. Log out of all iTunes accounts (iTunes>Store>Logout) and restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • I have an old and new mac and used transfer manager to put the old mac on the new so that i have both users on one computer but now I can only log in as the new and as guest so cant access my old computer docs on this newer mac.  Help!

    Hello I have just sold my old macbook and so transfered all my data to my newer macbook using transfer manager.  This allowed my to login on the newer computer under either the old or new username so I could access both computers' data on my newer computer.  Last night that worked but today I can only access my newer user and a guest user.  Where did my old user name and all the data go after the transfer?  Help please! I have to give the buyer the old computer today!
    Aminah

    I am not familiar with "transfer manager." Did you perhaps use the Migration Assistant? What operating system is installed on your new computer?
    If you look in your hard drive, in the Users folder, do you see a folder with the name from your user on your old computer?
    Best of luck.

  • Have iweb website created on one computer and now want to move the entire website to a second computer, have iweb website created on one computer and now want to move the entire website to a second computer

    I have taken over the administation of our website, created on iWeb on anoher computer, Now have iWEb installed on my computer, have downloaded all files from server. How do I open this files/this website in iWeb? Do I have to download the files into the app? Onto my desktop?
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thanks,
    Sten

    The simple answer to this question is that you DON'T and you CAN'T.  You have downloaded html and css files - ie, the published site from your server.  Unfortunately, iWeb has no import facility so is unable to read any html or css files - it's a one way street and iWeb produces all the html and css files upon publishing and that is it.
    If you are taking over the admin of the site, you need the previous administrator to give you the domain.sites file - this is the iWeb data file where everthing is stored.  The domain.sites file livers under your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. 
    You need to get them to e-mail this file or they can stick it on a flash drive for you or whatever, but it is this file that you need.
    If you don't or can't get access to this file, then you'll have to use another programme to update and administer the site - one that has import facilities.  You could use a plain html editor such as Text Wrangler or you could use a programme called Flux 4 that has import facilities.
    Contact the previous administrator.
