I want to have same iTunes account on 2 different users name on single macbook pro how do i do this
I would like to set up 2 user accounts on my macbook pro so that my girlfriend and I can both have our own email accounts however, I want to have access to my itunes account and libary from both user profiles is this possible? If so how do I set it up. both our itunes use the same Itunes account as well as our Ipad.
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. Go to System Preferences>Users & Groups>Click on the plus sign on the lower left to add an account
2. Move your iTunes libary to the Shared folder which is located at Hard drive>Users>Shared
3. Point iTunes to the new location with iTunes Preferences>Advanced>Change media location
Hope this helps. If you need more information about iTunes, you might want to post your questions at the iTunes forum.

I have 2 iphones, 1 personal and 1 business. I thought I was supposed to have 2 separate itunes accounts. I now have a work ipad and want to only have 1 itunes account that I can use for all 3 devices. How do I cancel 1 account or just combine the 2?
I want to be able to transfer my apps from my original itunes account that I have on my personal iphone 3 and work ipad 3 to my work iphone 4S ,as well as purchase more more apps for the work iphone with the original itunes account. Plus I need to sync all 3 of them with my work tower computer. I really appreciate you're trying to help me out.

Same iTunes Account on Two Different Computers
Is there any way for someone to create an iTunes that allows a person to access the same iTunes account on two different computers? Like if my mom wanted the same songs on her computer as the ones on my dad's computer, but she doesn't want to go through the trouble of using a flash drive. They both want to have access to the same account on two different computers.
if the computer cannot be turned on, one option would be to remove the hard drive and put it in an external enclosure that can be connected to the working computer.

I want to have my iTunes play lists and play counts on my new MacBook Air
I want to have my iTunes play lists and play counts on my new MacBook Air transferred over from my old (4 years and dying) MacBook Air.
Thanks for any and all help.Copy the entire iTunes folder including the iTunes library file from your old Mac to the same Music folder on your new Mac. Then down the Option key while launching iTunes and select the copied iTunes folder. That should get you all your playlists, playcounts etc.; those are stored in that iTunes library file.

How am i able to use the same itunes account on a different ipod?
How am I able to use the same iTunes account on a different iPod?
By just using the same iTunes account. If you set up the iPod on your computer just make sure that iTunes is signed your account. Of settingup via wifi, just enter your existing account. Do not create a new one.

How do I set all users to have complete permission access to all other users on a single Macbook?
How do I set all users to have complete permission access to all other users on a single Macbook? When one user uploads a picture from camera, the other user is told they don't have permission to view. Same with music.
Go to System preference> accouts>unlock>click+and add name of new user, Adrop dowm window will appear, new Account and set for Admi, fill in their name, to make things even more simple, use the same password for all,if it will allow it. Click ceate account. Click allow user to admin this computer.Then go to sys prefs, sharing and click all the things you want to let everyone use, If you use separeate paswords then each user can set their own preferences. All users can be set as as administrator, click allow access for all users. This will allow every one pretty much the same access.
OH yeah reart the computer sfter added a new user, and test the new login, if it's good coninue. -
i have two itunes accounts one for each of my two computers, can i merge them so that i can have the same music on my ipod and iphone,
it is all so confusing i need help!!!You can't currently merge accounts and the content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, though you can have more than one account authorised on the same computer's iTunes via Store > Authorise This Computer. As only one account can be actually logged in at a time (Store > Sign In / Sign Out) for purchasing or re-downloading/viewing past purchases, you may want to use just the one account for future purchases.

We have 4 Iphones. As a family we have happily shared the same ITunes account and one AppleID. After the most recent iPhone IOS update all our contacts and calendars have merged and we randomly receive some messages that one of us has sent to another contact.
This is causing chaos.
Can anyone help me with:
1. Has anyone experienced a similar problem recently?
2. The records to the individual phones have not been saved been saved separately. After this merging of all the data into one composite record, is there anyway to reverse the change and restore the phones to just their individual records?
3. I guess that the cause may be the common AppleID. I have tried to create my own AppleID but my personal email address is already linked to the existing AppleID so I am blocked from setting up a separate AppleID in my own name. Does anyone know how I can get around this block?
4. Would it be better to create a separate Apple ICloud address for each of us as well? How do I do this?
Many thanks in anticipation,
PeterThis is exactly what happens when sharing a single Apple ID for iCloud and iMessage. Why would you expect any different?

Same iTunes account but on different computers?
My husband and I have both got iphone 4s that are on seperate computers but the same itunes account. We have enabled the cloud so obviously have merged contacts and calendars which is what we want but his calendar is from his PC and we want it from my mac only (thats the first question - can we do this?) Does he have to back up via icloud and not computer.I would like to keep mine to the computer if possible.
I also don't want all of his apps?
I am also haing trouble getting anything on to my phone! It only has my purchased off itunes on there - am i not allowed to put on the legally bought CDS on there without match?
We want the photos that we both take to just go to my computer only. He uses his for work everyday so charges his phone through this. Is the only way if he outs it onto my computer?
Any help appreciated as i seem to understand the concept but can' put it into practice?!
Is it worth taking them all into an apple store and getting set up help?
Thanksmake sure you have the new itunes go to the store then it will say purchesd and there after you click it, it will show everything you have ever bought on itunes and you can redownload all your music and anything you bought from there hope this helps
