IPhone purchases billed to different iTunes accounts on family share?

My wife and I are on a Family Share plan with two iPhones. We did the activation under my iTunes account, but we each have an iTunes account. Is there a way to keep the iTunes purchases separated so that items she buys on her phone are billed to her iTunes account rather than mine?
Is this possible?

There can only be one iTunes account on the iPad, so all App Store apps must be associated with the same account. That said, there are ways to get your own set of apps on the device:
You can send a link to an app on the App Store to the person, and have them expense the cost.
You can gift your apps to the person, and have them install it themselves. You'll end up getting billed for it.
You can work with an enterprise developer to create a custom provisioning profile that allows you to install their apps on your specific device.

  • Can I move games from one iPhone to Another on different iTunes accounts?

    We bought my daughter an iPhone 5C for christmas.    Up until now she has been sharing my iTunes account as she was using my old phone.
    This has meant that when she or I bought a new app, it automatically showed up on the others phone. (I know that this can be turned off)   We decided that we would create a new iTunes account for her when we got the new phone.
    I just assumed that this would mean we would need to repurchase  all her Apps.  She is a bit sad about this as it means rebuilding all her little Sims worlds and losing her high scores etc. 
    So, is there anyway that the Apps or at least the games content from her old phone can be transferred to the new one even though they are now on different iTunes accounts?  We share the same iCloud (so I can track here phone from mine)
    I don't think so - but she is adamant that it can be done - so I thought I would check.
    Thanks
    Craig

    It can be done, but you will have to sign in to your account on her itunes to updated the apps. Try these instructions:

  • Transfer purchased app to different iTunes account?

    Is it possible to transfer an app I bought in the iTunes app store to a different iTunes account?
    (same computer, same iPhone)
    In more detail, what happened was the following:
    Usually, I logged in at the app store using my apple ID '[email protected]'.
    A few weeks ago, I logged in using just 'zzz', and since that worked I did not think about it any further, assuming that to iTunes the two IDs are the same.
    Then, I bought a few apps under the login 'zzz'.
    But apparently, 'zzz' and '[email protected]' are NOT the same to iTunes!
    (I think, that is a bug.)
    How do I know? Because when I am logged in as 'zzz', iTunes shows in the sidebar that 8 apps have got updates, but when I click on "Check for Updates" I get nothing.
    When I log out and then log in again as '[email protected]', lo and behold, I see all the updates when I click on "Check for Updates"!
    You can also see, which account is attached to which app in the Info (cmd-I) of each app.
    The problem now is that I have to switch accounts all the time, in order to get the updates, which is a nuisance.
    So I would like to tell iTunes, that the apps I bought under 'zzz' should really belong to '[email protected]'.
    Does anyone have an idea, how to do that?
    All suggestions and pointers will be highly appreciated!
    Best regards,
    Gabriel.
    PS:
    I already tried to delete one app, and then "buy" it again under the other account.
    But I think, I really have to pay again, because when I do this under the same account, iTunes tells me that I have bought the app already and lets me download it again for free.

    I don't think you can switch an app, but try emailing iTunes store support:

  • Transferring App purchases to a different iTunes account

    Hi Everyone
    I've got a bit of a complex problem I'm hoping you can help me with. I will try to keep it simple and to the point.
    A friend of mine bought his son an iPod Touch for Christmas. The son then used my friend's (his Dad's) iTunes account to purchase and download Apps. The son has downloaded loads of Apps over the last year.
    Unfortunately 2 months ago my friend (the Dad) passed away. His bank cards were cancelled and therefore his iTunes account would no longer work. His wife (my other friend) setup her own iTunes account for the son to use. Son has been using this account to purchase Apps.
    What I'm wondering is there anyway to close down the account of my friend who passed away and transfer the purchases to his Wife's account? The son has recently got a new laptop and I authorised both iTunes accounts for that machine, but when an App is due an update I think he has to log into whatever iTunes account it was purchased under (I think, I've not seen it but the son has told me this is what is happening - when I've looked at the iPod it shows the Wife's iTunes account as logged in in the App Store but the password the updates prompt him for is his Dad's). It's obviously distressing to keep having to log into the Dad's account, is there anyway I can resolve this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Hayley

    It is not possible to close/delete an account.  Even if it was, any content purchased with that account would be lost.
    What you can do is change the email address associated with the account to a different account.

    Yes.
    Simply load the app onto her iPhone.
    Note that the app allow you to find a different iPhone. You can use it to locate your own iPhone but if your own iPhone is in your hands and you are using the app...
    Anyone can us the app to log into their own iCloud account and find their own iPhone (ie.You use her iPhone to locate your iPhone and vice-versa).

  • We have 6 ipods and 1 iphone in our house. We have different itunes accounts. We use one computer. How can we share each others music? I moved everybodies itunes media folder to the public folder but when I open itunes I only see that accounts music.

    We have 6 ipods and 1 iphone in our house. We have different itunes accounts. We use one computer. How can we share each others music? I moved everybodies itunes media folder to the public music folder but when I open itunes I only see that accounts music. We need different itunes accounts. We share 1 computer but we have different user accounts on the computer.

    Adding media directly to the media folder does not make it appear in the library.  iTunes doesn't really 'look' at that folder except to go to specific files when you call upon them from a library. You have to drag new content to each user's library, that is assuming each user has their own library.

  • One App   Two iPhones   Different iTunes Accounts

    I currently have an iPhone 5 and I will be upgrading to an iPhone 6. I'm going give the iPhone 5 to my brother. I purchased a TomTom Navigation App and I want the App to be available on both phones but managed through different iTunes accounts. How should I go about doing this, if possible?
    If it isn't possible to do this because the App is linked to my iTunes account, can I, instead, manage my iTunes account on multiple computers? Or is it that one computer can handle multiple devices?
    I read the following two forums but they are not exactly the same questions as mine.
    One APP to Multiple iPods? 
    Can you use apps from one computer/iTunes accounts on multiple iPhones?

    Suppose I authorize another computer to use my current iPhone 5 and sync apps to that computer. Then I get my iPhone 6 and sync my apps to this new phone. Then I change the apple ID on one of the two computers. Would leave the installed apps on both devices? I don't have the new iPhone yet as I'm waiting to get an unlocked GSM version directly from Apple so I can't try this right away.

  • TS5223 how to sign in different iTunes account when it has already been signed into after restoring the iPhone

    how to sign in different iTunes account when it has already been signed into after restoring the iPhone

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    To change the login
    - Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
    You may have apps purchased with her account that need updating.

  • I have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

    i have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

    i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
    then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
    hence why i have 3 now
    hard to believe you cannot combine into one
    oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3

    I have a iPhone and iPad on one iTunes account, I have recently bought two further I touches fir the kids , should I set them up with their own apple ids and the can I transfer purchases through all devices,

    Hi jhyiesla,
    Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
    These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
    1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
    2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
    3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
    4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
    5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
    Further,
    - You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
    - If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

Currently itunes tells me that my iphone is connected to a different itunes account and will sync, but delete everything from my phone. How do I make itunes sync and update my phone without deleting all the current information on my phone?

    Iphone will sync with one and only one cpomptuer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.  This is the design of the  iphone.
    It will erase the content when you sync.
    Why not update from the comptuer with which you normally sync?
