I just purchased 2 new iPhones for my wife and I and set them up. We want to give the old phones to our kids, with the ability to share all the songs in my iTunes account. How do I want to give new names so our old phones sync with our kids names?

Sorry for the long intro question. I just bought a new iPhone 5S for me and a new 5C for my wife.
We want to give our kids my old 4S and my wife's old 4. We backed up our old phones and restored
our info to our new ones, but when we connect our old phones, they still show all our songs and iTunes
settings on them (along with the same names as our new ones).
We want to set up our old iPhones for our kids to be able to have their own names on theirs so that
when we connect to my iTunes computer, it sees each phone accordingly, and has only the songs
that they select (whereas I want to keep ALL my songs in my iTunes account on mine, not just some).
How do I do this?

You are most welcome
Each post should have the text "this helped me" or "this solved my question," or something similar. Just click on whichever one applies to that particular post!

Well this is happening because you have the same apple id.
You can create one on your device or on itunes on the computer for free.

I have an ipod and Itunes account, how do I add my daughters new Sony mp3 player so we can purchase music?

Home sharing only allows you to stream content from a computer's iTunes to an iOS device or another computer (and to copy from the computer to another computer), you can't use it to copy items to an iOS device.
If the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, and for music (if you are in a country where music purchases can be redownloaded and they are still in the store) then you can redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. Or you can copy them from your iPod to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option and then sync them to your iPad.

I've a few issues, my old computer was out of memory. I changed to a new one which already had another itunes account (for my business) when i upgraded to os5 my library has dissappeared as it has syncd with the new computer. Is there any way i can restore the information previously from my ipad? really appreciate any advice thanx in advance

Lynda-
If you still have the old computer, you should be able to connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from a backup from a previous sync. Now that you have it updated, you will not need to do that again.

I just purchased an ATC for my wife for Xmas, and she wants to use it for file sharing. Help??

From an external location (over the interent).........not at home on............Is this doable? Please let me know!!!
Thanks for any help.

There are 3 methods which Tesserax explains here..
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3413
The key one being the one Apple designed for easy access, Back to My Mac.. which has been around the place for ages but was updated to iCloud some time ago.
She will need a Mac computer to use for the connection.. that is one limitation.. Another is the TC must be the main router in the network.
If you run into any other issues feel free to ask.. it is never the simple thing you expect because it is unlikely you are using a business account with a static IP.. ISP deliberately work to stop you doing this without paying for it.
A thread like this show that all not sweetness and light even in the BTMM world.

Lost songs from my itunes account, how do i recover them

Hi all,
Bought a couple of Nirvana songs a few months ago and they've gone from my itunes acount.
Any idea how i can recover, also, is it a regular thing to loose songs, do i have to start saving my reciepts ?
Thanks in advance

If you mean that are no longer on your iTunes library, then depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries), and if they are still in the store, then you might be able to re-download them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.

I lost all my songs on my itunes account but still have them all on my ipod touch is there a way i can sync from ipod to computer

How can I move my sons songs from my iTunes account to his new one we're opening just for him?

my son is building quite a collection on out family's itunes account. We now want him to have his own and move his songs to his new
itunes account. how can this be done?
Thanks,
RKB

It can't be done. The most you can do is ask store reps to grant those songs to newly created account, but I see that highly unlikely to be approved. Reason: for store purposes your son does not exist - just two different accounts. If they will start doing that and giving to one customer something that was purchased by another, the DRM companies will sue Apple/Itunes for every penny that was sold by them.
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
here is link for e-mail contact if you still want to try. Good luck!
P.S. to your second note. You have multiple ways for him to use that music, Just not to move to itunes account.

I have a new iPhone for work, set up on a new iTunes account (PC). I was told i can associate it to my home iTunes account (iMac) but don't know how. I want to save the work related apps as well. Any advice? Thanks

Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!
