I have my iTunes library on my iPad. My husband wants to set up a library on his iPhone. How can we do this without screwing up my library or losing it altogether?
I Have a iTunes library with approx. 3000 songs on it and my husband has an iPod that has his music. He wants to create a new library for his new iPhone. I would like to know if we can create a new library for him without effecting my library. And we don't want to sync my whole library to his phone. I am also afraid of losing my library. Is there a way to have 2 separate libraries for 2devices? if it's possible, how do you set it up on a Mac?
Hello dartal,
Indeed, a new library can be created on your Mac. In order to create a new library and to switch between the libraries, hold the Option key on your keyboard while you open iTunes.

i used to have my husband's e-mail account set up on my phone. I've since deleted it but it seems to send all messages from his account. very confusing and means i miss out on replies etc.
Any advice?This seems to be happening to a lot of users, so I suppose the servers are down.

The subject says it all.
You can only buy content from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it

How can I share two differents Itunes accounts in my Apple TV ? I have one and my wife has another account and we want to share both in our apple tv. How can I do this ???
I assume you have different iTunes collections on different PC's, or on different logins on the same PC? If that's the case then just enable "Home Sharing" in each iTunes using the SAME iTunes username and password as you enabled home sharing on the Apple TV with. The account used for home sharing is NOT the same as the account used to access the iTunes store, so as long as you use the same account (pick one, doesn't matter which) then you should see both of yor iTunes libraries on the Apple TV. Note - each iTunes has ti be running in order for the Apple TV to see the library.
Here's some details on how to do it:

I don't have a credit card and would like to make updates on my iPAD. How can one manage this without a credit card?
You use a debit card just like you use a credit card in iTunes. You have to enter the card number, security code and billing address as you would with a credit card when you set up the ID. You can make changes to your payment method in your account at any time.
If you want to create an Apple ID without using a credit card you must first sign out of the Apple ID that you already created in Settings>Store>Your Apple ID.
But ...you will also need another email address now if you already created an Apple ID, because that first email address is now associated with that first ID that you created.
If you do have a debit card, you may just be better off entering that card information into your account and use that now. You don't need to even use the debit card if you can purchase iTunes gift cards and redeem those. I use iTunes gift cards exclusively now instead of using my credit card. -
I sold a ipad 1.. I did a reset and cleaned out all data before shipping to him. however, the new owner tells me when he connects to itunes it is asking for my password. how can i resolve this without giving him my password? will a hard reset take care of this?
Have the purchaser go to Settings/Store, tap your Apple ID and then choose Sign out.
The purchaser will then need to tap Sign in and enter their own Apple ID for their iTunes account. -
I have two separate iTunes libraries on different computers and I would like to compact into one. But I cannot without completely erasing one of the libraries. How can I do this without deleting anything?

Any playlists, playcounts, etc on the computer the content is being moved from will be lost. -
How do I transfer music off my iphone onto itunes on a new mac. I don't have the laptop I originally synced my iphone up with any more, so how can I do this without it?
I have tried to do this through home sharing but as I don't have the old laptop it wont let me.
Any HELP please?!?
Would be much appreciated.The iphone is not a backup/storage device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this? -

I have just had an iPod mini but my messages are coming through on my iPad and my iPhone how can I stop this happening ? Do I need to reset my iPad ?
To prevent messages from reaching both devices you can turn off Messages on the device you do not want to receive messages but keep Messages on on the device you do want to receive Messages.
You might also look at this option for both devices.
Settings > Messages > Send and Receive > review the a riotous choices for how you can e reached and select the ones that are most appropriate for you and the device you are setting. -

I have had my iphone 3gs for 3 mths., I have not connected it to my computer to creat a apple id and upload, somebody told me u have to do this right when u get your phone or you will loose everything in your phone. I don't want to loose all my #'s, pictures,texts,etc.
How can I do this without loosing everything?
ThanksThey told you incorrectly, although it is not a good idea to rely on the device as a single point of storage.
You must have an Apple ID to purchase content via iTunes, simply log in with that ID in iTunes. Then connect the device and sync it. For detailed instructions, read the manual which is available online or on the device. -
Hi
I have address book v. 6.1 in Lion. I have recently been unable to change my notes. When I type anything new, it simply disappears. How can I fix this?
I checked previous discussions on Address Book problems and there was a suggestion to find Library in GO. I do not see Library when I clicl Go. Can someone advise on this?To migrate your data to a new iCloud account go to Settings>iCloud and turn off all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.), when prompted choose to keep the data on your phone. After everything is set to off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, create the new iCloud account on your phone and turn on syncing for contacts, calendars, etc again. If prompted, choose Merge. This will upload your data to the new iCloud account.
