How do I create a 2nd iTunes account on the same computer?

No, creating a 2nd iTunes account is not necessary.

HT1911 If I make a new iTunes account with the same credit card number can I still have the same thing I bought from my other account?

Not without buying them from the new iTunes Store account.

HT1918 I have 2 active itune accounts on the same laptop, I would like to know if I can delete or cancel the newest account and if so how do I do this.

I have 2 active itune accounts on the same laptop. My orginal account was set up 3 yrs ago I believe for an ipod that I have but I hadn't used it in a long time. I recently bought an iphone 4s and my daughter was helping me with itunes. She made me another itunes account under another email address that I use for facebook instead of using the account I already had. I have purchaed a few songs and ring tones from this new account, but since then I logged out and started using my old account a week or so ago. What I want to do is delete or cancel the newest account but don't know how to or what to do. The email I get from "Apple" is being sent to the email address I use for facebook and not to my orginal aol email account. Can you tell me what I need to do to? I only want one account and I would like to keep the old account.
Thank you!

Stop using the account.
You need do nothing more.
You will need to authorize your computer for both accounts as you have purchased from both accounts.

How do I set up a second itunes account on the same laptop?

Can you have 2 separate itune accounts on the same laptop? How do you set it up?

You need to use separate Apple IDs and Mac OS X user accounts.

How do I install a new Exchange account with the same address as my old Exchange account and have my bcc mail not go to the old account?

I have an iPhone 5s running iOS8 and an iPad, up to date. I have recently changed my mail server but not my email address. My "old" mail account is an Exchange account and I have also set up a "new" Exchange account with the same address but with the new mail server details. When I receive outside, third party emails they are routed correctly to the "new" Exchange account but when I bcc myself or receive other emails from any account with my domain name the emails are routed to my "old" Exchange account. I have changed the default account settings to the "new" Exchange account. Also, if I send myself an email from my laptop, through the new mail service provider, it is routed correctly on my laptop but incorrectly on my iPhone and iPad. It appears as though the Apple products have cached my email address and routing and won't look to pick up the new mail server details. I don't see anything in the mail account settings or contacts that allows me to refresh or clear the cache. The result is I now have mail in 2 accounts. If I can get the misdirected mail from the odl account to the new one I will then make the old account inactive. Anyone have any ideas on this one?
Thanks in advance for your time and ideas,
DAA

Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

Can I create a new itunes account for my kids and still keep old music on both?

My kids currently have ipod nanos. They are getting ipod touches for christmas. Originally we setup a "family" itunes account on my computer. We now want to set them up their own account on their own laptop. Can we transfer old music from nano to touch to the new itunes account?

You can usehHome Sharing so the music will be accessable on their computers, Their computer will have to be authorized for the iTunes account. For more informations see:

Can i create a new iTunes account and sync my stuff from my old account to it?

i just recently got a new Mac laptop and i want to make my own iTunes account because i dont want to share with my family anymore. Is there any way i can create a new account and sync everything from my phone (and old accout) to my new account?

Yes but you will need to authorize your computer for purchases on the old iTunes account.

I am trying to create a new itunes account and on the terms and conditions page the Agree button is permanently grey even when i have ticked the check box any ideas

On my Macbook Pro running Lion - trying to create a new ITunes account and the Agree button on the Terms and condition page will not come active even after checking the box any ideas

There isn't a way - at least not that I have found. I'm having an issue with this as well - seems like a shoddy sort of business practice. I refuse to enter my credit card number to download a FREE app. I'm encouraging the user community that has a problem with this to please post your opinion as well. I know this is a use community, but I have to think that Apple will take notice when an issue gets a lot of attention. Apple needs to hear your voice.

How do I create a new iTunes account while keeping my old account?

I have an iTunes account with an Email address that I can no longer access. I have forgotten my password. Apple will not allow me to change my Email address so I cannot change my existing account at this time. I have purchased a lot of music and I do not want to delete the music. I hope that someday in the far far future, Apple's policy will change and I can reclaim the music that I purchased.
Anyway, I want to create a new iTunes account without deleting my old account. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Howdy! I have tried to change my Email address with Apple. Since I cannot access my old Email address, they will not let me change my password. Since I cannot recall my old password, they will not allow me to change my Email address. I am in a true Catch 22.

I just forget the birthday what I create a new iTunes account. How I get it back? Thank you

I forget the birthday what I have typed when create a new iTunes account. Now I just want to know where I can find it

If you can't remember your birthday then log into the account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, select the Password And Security section and answer the two security questions that show - you should then get a screen where you can see and/or change when you were born

HT1918 why do i have to create a new itunes account because I moved to Canada from the U.S.?

why do i have to create a new itunes account because I moved to Canada from the U.S.?( My current account won't let me change my address to canada so my billing address for account is incorrect, making it impossible for me to buy anything). Will it affect what I am able to put on my device i.e. already downloaded apps, music, etc?

I want to create a new itunes account but keep the content. Is this possible?

My family has always used one Itunes account for all devices. Now it is necessary for us to create a new itunes account. We want to keep the apps, music etc that we each have now. How can I do this? Is this even possible?

I hope this isn't too wordy but I want to be as clear and explicit as I can for you.
You can't transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple doesn't allow it.
You can continue to use your daughter's Apple ID in order to continue to use the apps that you purchased with her ID and you will need to use her ID and password any time that you want to update those apps. What you do want to avoid is having to download any of those purchased apps again on any other devices - if you create a new Apple ID.
If you create a new ID and then you sign into her ID in order to download a previous purchase- you will lock yourself out of the new ID for 90 days and there is nothing that you can do about it. So as long as you do NOT download any past purchases with her ID - you will not lock yourself out of the new ID. So you can keep using the apps that were bought with her ID, you can also update those apps using her ID (you have to sign into her account in Settings>Store) but you can't download past purchases without messing things up with your new ID.
When you download a past purchase with a different ID - you associate that device with the different ID for 90 days. This is one way that Apple hopes to cut down on pirating of apps - friends using other friends IDs in order to download apps without patting for them.
This explains it in a little more detail.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
The bottom line is that you can create a new ID, still use her ID - judiciously - but you really want to avoid downloading past purchases with her ID. Transfer all of those purchases into iTunes so that if something happens and you need the purchased content again, you can just sync it again rather than downloading it.
This explains transferring purchases.
