I want to start a new separate apple account from my husband and son, but I want to keep all of MY music from the existing account. How can I do this????
Unfortunately, anything downloaded with the Existing Apple ID will remain Tied to that ID.
Purchases / Downloads cannot be moved to a New Apple ID...

How can I set up a separate Apple account from my husband
MMy husband and I set up a joint Apple account years ago. Can he keep that account in tact and can I create a separate one? If so how do I do that?
Jeremy,
Ten years ago I bought my wife an iPod and set up an iTunes account for her using my name based on the (erroneous) information given me by a salesperson that the name on the iPod and the name on the account had to match, and since I wanted to suprise her by setting it it with some preloaded things, I used my email address and my paypal account. Fast forward 5000 apps later... I got tired of an email from iTunes for every purchase of every app, magazine, book, renewal ad infinitum, so I told her to log in to the only installed version of iTunes we had (on her computer) and to change the darn email to something else.
The problem that ensued raised its ugly head when many years later, she got a new iPad Air 2 and an iPhone. Those she set up with her email address, the very same email address she changed the apple id to in iTunes several years ago. Recently she contacted support because she was not able to log in. First of all her password was too short (10 years old, nice and easy to remember) and secondly, the date of birth and secret question answer to the original apple id were unknown to her, since they were my credentials, not hers.
Both accounts were irretreveably linked in the most unimaginable ways, and the new password she created for herself on her new devices worked half the the time.
By resetting my password and changing the secret question and removing the billing info (which was my wife's credit card, not mine) I am fairly sure that the two accounts are separate.
The point of this is that it is essential to make sure the second account has NO items, including email addresses, secret questions etc. in common and I also suggest a separate credit card.
Here is the wierdest thing thus far - I am sending this from her computer it has the iTunes installation. Logging in to her apple id, I see every single purchase "I" ever made prior to June of this year, and if I sign out of her apple id and in as mine there are NO purchases at all. They all were migrated over. I did not do this nor did I request it, but all the apps etc. now remain on her account, my account has nothing and I do not use my account at all since I have another one I had to create for my employer issued phone.
What one should not ever do is change the email address on an apple id without realizing that the id is also an email address and the email addressed it was changed to cannot be used to create a new separate account without a major headache. And many calls to apple.
Hope this helps anyone trying to 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?
Family Sharing - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT201060 - "Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six people in your family to share each other’s iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases without sharing accounts. Pay for family purchases with the same credit card and approve kids’ spending right from a parent’s device. And share photos, a family calendar, and more to help keep everyone connected."
Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing - http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201085 - "With Family Sharing, family members get immediate access to each others’ music, movies, TV shows, books, and apps, and can download them to their own devices any time they like.*" "* Not all content and content types are available in all countries.

I want to establish a new and separate Apple ID from my husband's. We have six Apple devices between us that are aleady associated with our current joint ID.How is this done?
In order to have a separate 5GB of storage he would need to have his own iCloud account with a separate ID. You can still share the same ID for iTunes; it does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.
In order to migrate his phone to a separate account, begin by saving any photo stream photos that he wants to keep on his phone to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos he wants to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud on his phone, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. Other devices still using the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, choose Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to his new account.
Finally, if there is any merged data in the accounts you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account. -
can I create a separate icloud account for my husband but still use the same itunes account? I want our contacts, photos and storage capacity to be separate but be able to share music and apps we purchase.

Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users. -

So what should I do now?
Is there some how to fix this problem or change apple id in ios billing info or refund the billing?

Hi,
I have apple account/password on laptop but can't use the same ID etc on new Ipad. On my account it says ID is only for 1 system. I really want only one ID for both Ipad and laptop.
ThanksIt seems that you have used the AppleIDs to "Purchase" your devices, which marries the two for all time and eternity.
For info - Using your Apple ID for Apple services

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?

when I start a new tab yahoo search comes when I start a new tab yahoo search comes and I don't want that. how do I get a different web site to open?
You need to figure out what you have installed which changed that action to Yahoo from a blank tab, which is the default action in Firefox; and then get rid of that add-on. Then you can can install an add-on which allows you to select what you want in the new tab.
