You can share your libraries within the same household:

  • How do I stop iMessages from showing up on both of my iPhones without having to have two seperate iTunes accounts and still be able to use iMessage between these same two iPhones.

    My wife and I have iPhones.  We share an iTunes account and we want to keep it that way.  My iMessages began showing up on her iPhone and vise versa.  I figured out to go to settings, messages and have only the send/receive checked for our individual phone numbers.  When we do that however, we no longer can send iMessages to each other and it goes over SMS.  I don't want that.  I want to be able to send and receive iMessages with my wife without having to have a seperate iTunes account and without each other seeing each others iMessages to other iMessage users.  How do I do this?

    One of you needs to set up a separate Apple ID for iMessaging purposes only.

  • How do I get my music from my account on old computer to new computer? And how do I have two seperate itunes accounts on one computer?

    I had my music on my itunes on my old computer (pc), and need to move it to my husband's computer. My husband and I both have iphones and want to keep using our seperate itunes accounts on one computer, as we both have our own media set up on our accounts. I had burned my music from the old computer onto discs and imported onto the new one...works in the library but I can't put them into playlists, which means I can't put the music on my iphone. As for using two seperate accounts on one computer, it was suggested to me to make another profile on windows (vista), and use the second account on that profile. I did that and have had such a frustrating time trying to get this to work. I don't know if I've done something wrong, but it's just headache after headache. Somehow my apps even ended up on my husband's account? Also, how can we share music between our profiles? It seems ridiculous that we should have to buy an album twice just because we have to different accounts. I would be willing to create a third joint account with my husband, but only if we can still have our own music, apps, etc, and can somehow transfer the music we have to this new account...if possible.  Suggestions please???? I'm so close to pulling out my hair over this!!!

    You'll need to copy the music currently on your iPod to your new PC and into iTunes first before you can sync it to the new iPod.

  • Ok... So can you have two seperate itunes accounts on the same computer?

    My dad is getting an ipod for christmas... and well I don't want him on iTunes draining all of my money. Is there a way that you can have two seperate accounts on one computer?

    Yes. If you want separate iTunes accounts, the easiest way is to set up 2 users on the computer, each with their own iTunes library.
    If the two phones share the same iTunes account this is not necessary.

  • I have two seperate itunes account and want to transfer them both to one of my two macs

    I have a 2006 15" Macbook pro with one itunes account, I have purchased a 13"macbook pro with my new itunes account, and wish to comine them both on one. I am giving the other to my daughter and need to pull my purchased music and my libray off to creat a new one for her. any advice is much appericted, Thanks again.

    Make sure both computers are set up to share their library on the local network.
         iTune>Preferences>Sharing>Share my library on my local network.
    Then, using the computer that you want to have the media on for yourself, go to the other computer's library, it should appear under Shared on the left, select everything you want to import and click "Import".
    When it's done you can delete it all from the other computer, then you can just sign out of iTunes.
    If you didn't do so previously, you'll want to authorize the computer that now has all the media on it with the older iTunes account.

  • TS1424 I have an ipad and an iphone on two seperate itunes account and i can not make an itunes purchase on either device.  I keep getting asked for answers to the securtity question which i never answered in the first place! How do i fix this?

    I have two seperate itunes accounts on two seperate devices and i can not make an itunes purchase on either one. When signing into the account it ask for the  answer to security questions. I have NEVER answered a security question for these accounts.  Each time it is a different set of questions. This has only happend since the original devices have been replaced/upgraded. How do I fix this?   There is money in each account and both have recieved itunes giftcards for christmas that they are unable to use!

  • Playing movies on two seperate iPhones with two seperate iTunes accounts

    I have an iPhone 4 and 4S.  We have two seperate iTunes accounts.  I attempt to move movies to the iPhone 4 from account #1 and i get a message which says this device cannot play this content.  My iPhone 4S will play content from both iTunes accounts #1 and #2.  I must be missing something in the software.  How do I activate two iTunes accounts on one device?  My 4S has had apps from both accounts #1 and #2 on it before.  The iPhone 4 does not have any apps from the account #1.  Somehow one device is allowing content from 2 seperate iTunes accounts and the other is not.

    Hello Schurly
    Yes you can, you can have up to 5 computers authorized for playback on purchases. If you have not purchases, then there is nothing to worry about there as well.

  • We have two ipads and two different itunes accounts, can I sync my wife's apps and she mine?

    we have two ipads and two different itunes accounts. can I sync my wife's apps and she mine?

    Yes, you can use the apps from both accounts on the same iPad. You will both need to authorize each others iTunes account for use in each others computer account. You may authorize up to five Macs/PCs to use stuff from your account and that computer can then transfer the stuff to up to 10 iOS devices.
    Open iTunes in your account and have your wife sign into her iTunes account in the iTunes app. First authorize your computer account to use her iTunes stuff from the iTunes Store menu. Then have your wife download all of the iOS apps that you want to use into iTunes. Now you do the same in her computer account.
    Remember that only you can update apps acquired with your iTunes account and vice versa. So you will need to either sign into iTunes on the computer or directly on each others iPad to update any apps that need it. It is a little confusing at first, but you get the hang of it quickly.

  • I have two separate itune accounts under two different email accounts and would like to combine them under one account.  Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?

    I have two separate itune accounts under two different email accounts and would like to combine them under one account.  Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?

    If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
    Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
    That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.
