  • How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone? Can this be done?

    How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone (with separate info on each of course) ? Can this be done? A little step by step would be greatly appreciated; just short step by step though, I can follow fairly well.
    Kindest Regards,

    You would each need to use your own user account on the Mac, you can do this at system preferences > users & groups.

  • My daughter has been using my iTunes account to buy music and apps. I now want to set up a separate iTunes account for her, with a different login. How can we transfer the music and apps she has already bought to her new iTunes account?

    Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?

  • I need to set up 9 IPhones and 4 IPads to be used as data collection devices. How can I do that without setting up 13 separate ITunes accounts?

    You can use the same account to set up as many devices as you like.
    You might also find there are tools to help with a roll out.

  • I want to set up a separate itunes account from my kids but share all the music I have bought - how can I do this?

    I am trying to set up a different itunes account from my kids so I don't have to share contacts, calendar, etc. but I still want to maintain access to all the music I have purchased.  Is this possible?

  • How do I get music and games which I purchased for my daughter through my iTunes account onto her iPad mini  but at the same time set up a separate iTunes account for her iPad?

    My daughter  used to use my old iPod and all the music and games that she wanted went through my e-mail/iTunes account.  She has moved onto an iPad mini but this is still in my account.  I want to set up an e-mail and iTunes account for her so that my iPhone doesnt get jammed up with all her stuff.  If I do this I think that all the stuff which I've bought will be lost to her.  How can I get round this?

    Apple devices can hold protected content from up to five different accounts, however updating apps purchased over more than one account (as far as I'm aware) requires signing in and out of each account. You may be better off continuing to use one account for your family, as I do, but disabling the options on each device for the automatic download of purchases made on the account, and in iTunes, the automatic inclusion of new apps when syncing from the library to the device.

  • Can I set up two different ITunes accounts on the same computer?

    Is it possible to set up two separate ITunes accounts on one computer and yet share some of the same songs in the Library?

    Yes create two users on that computer
    One for each account, and then you will have 2 itunes libraries.
    Control Panel, user accounts, add new account (give it admin rights).
    Log off and then log in with the new account.
    Make sure you log out and not switch accounts when moving between the two users.

  • My husband has an iPhone.  I have iPad.  Can we have separate iTunes accounts on a PC?

    My husband has iPhone and an iTunes account.  I have iPad and also though I set up a separate iTunes account; however, my account never shows on our PC.  Is it possible to have 2 separate iTunes accounts on one PC?  Should we share an account?  Thanks

    Every iPod, iPhone, or iOS device synced with the same iTunes library on one computer has its own sync preferences with iTunes. I sync a business iPhone 5, a personal iPhone 5S, and a personal iPad with iTunes on the same computer and each device has different apps and music.

  • How do I divide thousands of songs currently in a single iTunes account into 2 separate iTunes accounts?

    When my daughter was small, I set up a single iTunes account that we both could use. Now, years later, she has amassed thousands of songs and apps that I have no interest in. Is there a way to set up a separate iTunes account for her and move her music, videos, etc to that account and delete them from my existing iTunes account?

    Some related discussion at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1965166?start=0&tstart=0  Note that this starts in year 2009 when much music required authorization to play.  This no longer applies to new music or old music upgraded to iTunes Plus.  It still applies to video.
    I am no itunes account expert but I do not think it is possible to transfer file ownership between accounts.

  • Transferring two separate iTune accounts to New Computer

  • How can I set up my Mac Pro so that my wife and I can use our separate iTunes accounts? I keep getting an error message that the computer is already associated with an Apple ID even though the two accounts are associated with separate log ins!

    I'm getting very confused with setting up multiple user accounts on my Mac Pro for my wife and I. We each have a separate iTunes account, and we want to keep our music libraries seaprate. I've set up two user accounts on the Mac Pro and I have my iTunes authorised and logged into my user account on my user account. Under my wifes user account (i.e. a separate log in on the computer) I'm trying to set up her iTunes account, but I can't download or play anything from the cloud - it just says "This computer is already associated with another iTunes Account" and tells me that if I 'transfer' then I won't be able to use the other one for 90 days! This is really annoying as my wife can't access music she has purchased on her iTunes account on the home machine. We're not trying to do anything dodgy, just access our music on our own accounts on separate log ins on the same machine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

  • HT1660 How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device without erasing either set of data?

    How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device (iPhone 4) without erasing either set of data when syncing with itunes?

    Hi,
    Depends on what you trying to setup but for purchases, you can roll down at the very end of the iTunes/AppStore pages to logout of your current account and then login into a different one.  Then your purchase will be billded to this new account.  Everything will sync as you used to but in order to use the purchased content in iTunes or other devices, you will need to authorize them (you can have up to 5 devices authorized for an account).

  • Set up separate iTunes accounts

    How do I set up separate itunes accounts (unique one for each child) so they can download music and I can track $ usage. Each child has a separate shuffle but they use the same Imac computer.

    There are several different ways to use two iPods with one computer, have a look at this help page for suggestions: How to use multiple iPods with one computer
    You don't need a separate store account for each person by the way unless you particularly feel the need to segregate the purchases. You can set up one account and load songs from it onto any or all of the iPods (though you may want only one person, yourself for example, to hold the password and control the purchases).
