If I have an iTunes account but sinc my phone on someones computer if I make my own on my computer will I loose every thing I bought

Yes. iTunes and iOS is setup to sync from one computer at a time. You would receive your friends content, but can get your apps back since they're associated with your Apple ID.
I would look into a program that will transfer your iPhone content on the new computer, or transfer content from your computer's hard drive, if still salvageable.

I own a iPod touch and I have an iTunes account but all i can download is podcasts no games or music.when I try to download games it says "request cannot be completed " please help

I own a iPod touch and I have an iTunes account but all i can download is podcasts no games or music.when I try to download games it says "request cannot be completed " could there be a problem with it ?
Please help

Honestly, these are WAGs but they're all that I can think of.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

I current have an iTunes account but need to change computers. Do I need to establish a new account on that computer?

I current have an iTunes account but need to change computers. Do I need to establish a new account on that computer?

no.
authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account and you're good to go.
make sure you de-authorize iTunes on the old machine before retiring it.

I have a itunes account but i would like to transfer my app purchases onto my google play?

I have a itunes account but i would like to transfer all my app purchases onto my google play or play store account how do i do that?..i already transfer my music too but i dont know how to transfer my app purchases at all please help!

That's a question for Google. If Google wants to give you credit for purchases that you have made from Apple, then that is between you and Google. As far as Apple would be concerned, you don't have anything to transfer.

I have one itunes account, but several itouch apparatus that belong to kids, how do I keep their cloud stuff separate, or does it all go into one cloud?

I have one itunes account, but have several itouches that belong to the kids. How do I keep the cloud's separate, or does it all go into one, because of the one acccount?

All devices under the same Apple ID will have one iCloud. If they are over 13, they can create their own Apple IDs, or you can just turn everything off under Settings > iCloud on the iPods.

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.
Sam

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).

I have a uk itunes account but now live in Qatar, i was bought an itunes gift card but have just tried to redeem it and it wont add to my account as it is a usa code. Anyone have any suggestions or is it a no brainer???

My iTouch has apps that are ready to upgrade. I'm asked for my iTunes password which I enter but it tells me it's the wrong password. It isn't because I can login to iTunes with it. I also have another iTunes account but app upgrade defaults to one a/c.

My iTouch has several apps ready for upgrade. When I ask it to upgrade it prompts me for my iTunes password relating to one of my iTunes accounts but when I type it in it tells me it's the wrong password even though it isn't. Any ideas out there?

From your discussion it sounds like the app you want to update were purchased under a different iTunes account than the iPod is current signed into. Go to Settings>Store and sign out of the existing iTunes account and sign into the account that purchased the apps. You can't change the account when the message identifying the signed-in account and asking for the password.

Can you have two itunes accounts on a single phone?

Is it possible on an iphone 5s to have two itunes accounts? My child is getting to an age, where they should have their own itunes account. We share music and applications and i do not want to have to re-buy everything?

you can but you can also get locked out the way varjak is recommending for 90 days. what i advise is to use a computer and itunes. authorise both ids and sign in with 1st download purchases then second and download purchases. then sync content to your phone. these will help

I have an Itunes account with all My apps, and music from my Ipod touch, If i buy an Ipad will all the Apps and music download automatically or will i have the choice to download the ones i want to my Ipad?

Im planning on buying an Ipad. I already have an itunes account for my Ipod touch with a bunch of music, and apps. When i buy said ipad (and i connect it to my account) will all the apps/ music automatically download themselves or will i be able to choose the apps/ music that will go to the ipad?

You can choose which apps to install. App Store > Purchased > Not on This iPad.

Can I have one itunes account, but have two devices that used different email accounts?

I have an iPad2 and want to buy an iPod Touch for my daughter. I want it to use her email address, but use my itunes account. Can that be done?

The Apple/iTunes ID (which is a email address) is seperate from any mail accounts yu have on the iPod/iPad. Both devices can use the same Apple/iTunes ID but have different email address for the mail accounts on the devices.

My wife and I have seperate itune accounts, but want to merge them into one account or at least merge our seperate purchases into one library. Is this possible?

Basic problem...my wife has her own iTunes account which she purchases music with, I have my own that i have been purchasing music with...however, married now as we have similar tastes in music and dont want to be duplicating albums etc.
Was wondering is it possible to merge the two accounts into one account? Or if not, that we carry on purchasing music but have one shared library. Is this possible, any help appreciated.
Thanks

"Was wondering is it possible to merge the two accounts into one account? "
No.
Just put all of your music/apps/etc on one computer/library. Authorize the computer for both ids.

I have one itunes account but I use it on a windows and on a mac. If I buy a song on one, does it go to the other?

Years ago, I bought an iPod Nano and I sync it with iTunes on my windows computer. I have many songs on my windows iTunes account. For work I received a MacBook Pro and an iPhone. I sync my phone to the mac still using that same iTunes account. There are some songs that I might want to put on both my nano and my phone. Will I have to buy that song two times? One for each computer?

Thank you for your help. My follow up question would be then, is there a way to keep them separate but linked? In other words, I don't mind continuing to sync my nano to my windows computer and syncing my phone to my mac, but I don't want to pay for the same song twice. How do I get a song that I purchase on one platform to be on the other platform?
Thanks again for your help.
