I want to change iTunes ID and keeping .mac account.

I share my iTunes account with my son. We want to have separate accounts. I want to keep the iTunes ID associated with my .mac account for my use. My son wants to use a gmail account for the itunes and all the music he has acquired through the current account.
Will this work?
TIA

This doesn't work as I expected. You can't change the primary Mac ID used for anything Apple. My .mac.com address is the ID. So if my son changes to his e-mail address on iTunes on his Mac, he changes the way I access anything .mac from my Mac.
In effect, this is as it would be for any kink of web base account where a user name and password is used. You cannot change the user name. You can only start from scratch with a new account which can't see the content owned by the first account.
So we'll continue to share this iTunes account until I die I guess.
Oh well.

    I want to change my questions and answers apple account?
    I just can not buy anything, because when I buy it asks questions and answers from my account and I forgot

    It got sent to a different email address, or got caught in a spam filter, or something’s wrong at Apple’s end. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • I've changed my last name and want to change the details in my .mac account. Any ideas?

    I've recently changed my last name and although I've created an alias (now @icloud.com sadly instead of @mac or @me!) I can't figure out how to change my name so that the 'sender' name reflects my name change. Any help gratefully received! Just one of the many tasks I need to complete to change my name and not off to a good start!

    Hey Newgirl85,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to change the name on your Apple ID. Sending email with the wrong name can be a frustrating situation for sure. You can update your name at https://appleid.apple.com/ .

  • I got an iPhone 4 a week ago. I synced my iTunes once and now I want to change what albums and playlists are on my phone. When I try to do this, iTunes threatens to remove all my apps. Of course, Apple's support is no help.

    I got an iPhone 4 a week ago. I synced my iTunes once and now I want to change what albums and playlists are on my phone. When I try to do this, iTunes threatens to remove all my apps. Of course, Apple's support is no help. I know there has to be a way to add and remove whole albums and playlists like on the music tab on the device, so please don't tell me to uncheck/delete everything from my iTunes that I don't want and re-sync. That is not helpful and not the issue. How do I get around it threatening to remove all my apps?

    On the MacBook, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Advanced > Disable remote control

    Hi Roger
    Thank you for your reply.
    My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
    However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
    Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is  http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
    I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
    I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
    Thanks is advance.

  • What is being done about users inability to use their Apple ID at iTunes Store. I do not have another Apple ID, I do not want to change my password and I want my phone to work as it should.

    What is being done about users inability to use their Apple ID at iTunes Store. I do not have another Apple ID, I do not want to change my password and I want my phone to work as it should.

    You can try signing out and signing back in. You can also go into Settings > Safari and Clear all Cookies. You can even try logging into the iTunes Store on a computer and downloading a free app or something.
    If none of those work, then you will have to wait for the issue to be resolved on Apple's end.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • I only have 5c in my US account and want to change back to Australia, but my account needs to be 0.  Anyway around this?  I have no US credit card.

    only have 5c in my US account and want to change back to Australia, but my account needs to be 0.  Anyway around this?  I have no US credit card.

    Ah.   I understand now.   I suspect it is the technical problem that the money keeps the account alive.
    Go to  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/  - and click on Express lane followed by iTunes > iTunes store.   Explain to them and see if they will help you raise a new account.
    Remember, your account and means of payment must relate to the country you permanently reside in.

    I want to change my store and it says that I have a 0.11$ credit and should spend it how before changing stores how can I do it?

    You can use your remaining store credit by purchasing an item, and paying the extra amount using a credit card, debit card, or if your country's store supports it, your PayPal or Click&Buy account.
    I you don't have an alternate payment method you can provide, then you will need to contact iTunes Store Customer Support via http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

    Sync them to your iPod. To sync individual items use the manual method, See:

    You can delete individual items from the iPod by swiping a song right or left and tapping the Delete button that appears.
