I need two separate accounts. One for my grandson and one for my iPad so we can FaceTime each other

I want to be able to FaceTime my grandson from my iPad to his iPod. We are both set up under the same itune account. How do I create a separate account for him?

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

Hi, I have two iPads, two separate accounts I have purchased apps on one Acc. and would like to use them on my second iPad. How is this possible

If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.

I have an iTunes UK account but also reside in US. do i need two separate accounts?

If you are not here in the UK then you cannot use the UK store - being in a country is part of the store's terms, if you aren't in the country then Apple could potentially permanently disable the account. Whilst you are in the US you can only buy and download (and potentially redownload) from the US store.
You shouldn't lose any of your downloaded content from your iTunes library when changing country, it should only stop it from appearing in the cloud for redownloading. If that is what you mean, that it no longer shows in the cloud, then have you not got a copy of all of your downloads on your computer and on a backup - any item could be removed from the store at any time, so even if you don't move countries there is no guarantee of being able to redownload an item.

TS4006 I want to set up "find my ipad" on my sister's ipad, so we can find each other's iPads. However, this seems to require differing individual cloud email addresses, so one ipad wouldn't recognise the other one. How do I get round this?

Many thanks for the quick response.
I'm fine with using the same ID for iCloud, so I'll give that a try.
You mention that a lost ipad can be found from any computer. As a relative computer novice, I didn't know this. How would I go about carrying out such a search?
I don't think I'd use the find friends app. My concern is to find a lost or stolen ipad.
Thanks

Is it possible for my two new mac laptops to facetime each other?

I recently received my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air through the online store. I was wondering how (if they can) facetime each other? I am using the same apple id (I think) for both and I totally need your help.

Hi Mercurium,
Sure you can FaceTime between the MBA and the MBP. BUT, you can't use the same Id for both. It would be like calling yourself. If you picked up your land line phone and dialed your own number, you'd get a busy signal. You can use the Id you already have for one of your Mac books -- the other is going to need its very own identification.

I have 2 iPhones - one for personal use and one for work. They are currently connected with the same Apple ID. I would like to separate the two accounts. Does anybody know how to do this?

Just create a new AppleID for your work.
As Allan suggested, items purchased on one iTunes account cannot be moved to the other account.
However, you can put items purchased on on account onto the other iPhone.

My children got Itunes cards for christmas. There devices are all on my imac. Do they each need a separate account or is there a way to keep them all separate under one account.

HT5620 How can I set up two separate accounts on one iPad?

How can I set up two separate accounts on one shared iPad?

The iPad is meant to be a single user device.
It is possible to use multiple ID's on an iOS device, but when you switch ID's and download content with another ID, you associate the device with that ID for 90 days and lock yourself out of the other ID for that 90 day period.
So while it is possible, it's not advisable.

I have multiple apple devices mainly used between me and my wife , my question is that can i have two sets of contacts backed up to icloud one for her devices and one for my devices using the same itunes account

now is it possible to have two sets of contacts and calendar synchronised for her devices and one for my devices using the same icloud account
i dont want a separate itunes account as we use the same music books and apps to be automatically downloaded which is very convenient
please guide

You can set up different iCloud accounts on each device using different Apple IDs (to keep your mail, calendars, contacts, etc. separated), and still share the same iTunes account (in Settings>Store on your device). There is no requirement that you use the same Apple ID for purchases and for iCloud.

However, when I try to purchase an iBook on my personal account only the business account information appears, and my business password is requested. How can I select a different account depending on the type of purchase I am making?

You would have to sign out of the store with that AppleID and sign in with the alternate AppleID.
Settings -> iTunes & App Stores -> tap the Apple ID showing, logout, then login.
Beware thought that you can only change a device's AppleID association once every 90 days.

So if you do this, you will not be able to use the other AppleID on that device for 90 days.

Hi. I tried switching my Apple ID email address to my new email address and I don't know how to switch it for iCloud and iTunes. Please help!! It seems like Apple thinks I have two separate accounts, when I just tried to simply change it!

Settings > Store > Sign Out.
Sign in with the correct ID.
