If i already have an itunes account with my family can i open a new account to sync my old and new phone

if I already have an iTunes account with my family can I open a new iTunes account to sync my old iphone 4 and new iphone 5?

Hi Rileycarline,
You can easily have an iCloud account that is separate from the Apple ID that is used for iTunes purchases. Take a look at the article below to walk you through that specific setup process of have an account for iCloud and one for Store purchases.

I have downloaded itunes (windows vista), when I try to open the store it appears for a second and then disappears...what do I do?

The store goes away as soon as I open it...what's up and how do I fix it?

I have the same problem. I search for something, it flashes the results for a second or two and then it's gone. I'me running windows 7. I hope someone has a solution!

You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

I already have an iTunes account but need to open a new one as I have many apple products but am limited to how many I can use my iTunes account on. How do I open a new one please. Thanks

Hi I already have an itunes account registered to my address and email address.
The problem is, I have many apple products but i'm limited to how many products I can use one itunes account for.
How do I open a new itunes account for the same address please.
Thanks for your help.

Well, you can probably do it, but then you also have to buy the products again to use them from the other account since they cannot be transferred or shared between accounts. So if you have 7 computers and want the same movie authorized on all of them, you'll have to buy the movie twice and then authorize some devices on one account and others on the other.
Do you really have >5 devices, or is it just that you have a lot of devices authorized that no longer exist but are tying up authorization slots? If that's the case, you can deauthorize things.

I have no idea how to do multiple accounts but you may need to create a new e-mail address (plenty of free ones out there).

Hey kbert73
I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

Apple changed my Apple ID to the email address associated with my iTunes account. I now can no longer access my account because the old user name is no longer valid and has no password. I have been on the phone with tech support for hours trying to fix.

Is your phone still signed in with your old iTues ID for iCloud (in Settings>iCloud)?

It will not do anything at all to your computer.

If you are asking how to authorise your iTunes account on that computer, then you do so via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (pressing Alt-S should get the Store menu to appear) - this screenshot is from a Mac, but it should be fairly similar on windows 8 :

Hi everyone I'm a new iPad user (ipad2) and have tried to download a few apps. I already have a iTunes/app store account but often when I try download a app I get a message that says "your request could not be processed"?

It could be a problem at the other end, try again tomorrow. Also , try resetting your iPad by holding down the home and sleep/wake button till the Apple logo appears and then let it wake up, maybe that may help.

I am trying to hard sync my i phone to my MAC before I purchase a new phone. My MAC however has a pop up that says I already have 5 computers associated with this ID. So I went into i tunes store and had a list of 4 items, I deauthorized 2, my i pod & i pad, which left 2 items on the list. However I am still getting the same pop up saying I have 5 devices. Any ideas how to correct this?

Go to one of the other computers and use the Deauthorize Computer function. If you don't have physical or network access to any of them, use the Deauthorize All command documented in the article you asked this question from, and if that's not an option, the link to contact the iTunes Store staff at the bottom of it.

If it is your password on your appleID account then click on the link to reset your password.
If it is your four digit passcode then See here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
You will have to go down the route of a Restore. Please read carefully the links therein with regard to using a different different computer from that with which you normally sync.
[You may also have to put your device into Recovery Mode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 ]
