Is it possible for 2 iTunes accounts on one computer?

I want to have my own iTunes account, but every time I try to upload a new iTunes, I keep getting my daughter's iTunes.  I want my own so I don't have to share with her.  How can I do this on one computer?

Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note: It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not just make a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open, quit it.
Mac users: Hold down the Option key while you open iTunes.
Windows users: Hold down the Shift key while you open iTunes.
In the dialog that appears, click Create Library.
Name and save the alternate library file. iTunes opens with your brand new library file.
Open iTunes Preferences. Choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (Windows).
Click the Advanced tab.
Deselect the "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" checkbox if it is already selected and click OK. This will prevent iTunes from creating duplicates of your existing media files in the new library folder.
Add the specific media files you want on your device to iTunes either by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows).
Once you have the iTunes Library just how you want it, connect and sync your device.
Once the sync is complete, quit iTunes.
Mac users: Hold down the Option key while you open iTunes.
Windows users: Hold down the Shift key while you open iTunes.
Click Choose library.
Choose your original iTunes Library and click Choose (Mac Users) or Open (Windows Users). You can now switch back and forth between the different libraries for different devices."

  • I have two iTunes accounts on one computer.  Is it possible to share between the two?  If so, how do I do it?

    I have two ITunes accounts on one computer.  One is a classic iPod, the other is for a Nano with a different user.  Is it possible to "share" playlists?  If so, how do I go about doing that?

    videoDVD is a delivery format, normally end of the of the road...
    but, you can convert dvds into something editable, you need 3rd party tools, your options are, in recommended order:
    * DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    * Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
    * Cinematize >60$
    * Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    * Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    * connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

  • 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.

    Not sure what you mean.
    An account is a user name and password.
    Sign into whichever account you want to use for purchasing.
    Authorize the computer for both account to listen to the content.

  • Can you have two iTunes accounts on one computer?

    Just bought a MacBook Air which I'm sharing with my husband. Is it possible to have two active iTunes accounts on one computer? We both have very different tastes in music and we have our own iPhones that we'd like to update differently. Would be great to have the option to separate our accounts.

    Yes you can... and it's not that hard

  • Synching 2 3Gs iPhones to one iTunes account on one computer

    I have a few questions regarding synching two 3Gs iPhones with one iTunes account on one computer.
    I had synched both phones (mine and my wifes) to our desktop computer but saw that apps were being placed on both of our phones and contacts were being added to both and duplicated.
    1. If I try to synch my wifes iPhone to a her laptop with a new itunes account and it asks about erasing the data, will it get rid of the photos and contacts? I have looked this issue up and no one really seems to know.
    2. If I try to synch both iPhones to the desktop with the original itunes how do I avoid the issues of transposing apps, contacts being added to both? Several answers out on the Net say to make two seperate accounts. Does that mean two seperate "iTunes" accounts? Or two seperate profiles on the desktop computer.
    The main reason I need to do this is because my wifes iPhone is about two or three firmware updates behind. I would like to update her firmware and back up all of her apps and contacts. I am backing up her photos to Shutterfly just in case, because if something happened to those I might not be around to see iPhone 5. hahaha j/k
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    1. If you manually backup your wife's phone before you sync for the first time to the laptop, you can save all data and settings of the phone and restore from that backup again after the initial sync.
    Here's how to backup manually:
    Set up the same iTunes account on the laptop, disable autosync in iTunes/Settings/Devices.
    Connect the phone, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup" iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, to copy apps and purchased media to the new library.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

    2. If you're syncing both phones on one computer, either create a second user account on your computer, log in and do the same manual backup process as described above, or, take the time to set up each phone individually, including the settings for calendars and contacts, which apps to sync, etc.
    iTunes will remember the settings for each phone and you'll only have to do this once.
    You can only use apps on different devices if you're using the same account you did at the time you bought them.

  • Is there any way to have 2 different itunes accounts on one computer?

    I am trying to find out if you can have two different itunes accounts on one computer.  My boyfriend and I both have the iphone 4 but we share a computer.  Is it  possible to have two accounts on one laptop? And if so, how do i do it?

    Hi, Angela,  Take a look here:
    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer.
    That should help. If you are referring to iTunes Store accounts, yes, you can have up to five iTunes Store accounts on a single system.

    Correct, but you shouldn't have them in one library.
    Why not?
    If you want to use two Apple IDs, you should create a second library for one of these Apple IDs, or another user that uses a different library.
    Why?
    I have one library with three iTunes accounts (mine and two daughters). No problems at all.

  • Can you have more than one itune account on one computer?

    I am wondering if you can have more than one iTunes account on one computer?

    Yes, that's possible.
    Do you mean two different Store accounts or two different iTunes libraries? (Either is doable.)

    We have two iTunes accounts on one computer. Why is my music, apps, etc showing in my husbands account? Home sharing is NOT selected. This recently became an issue when we added additional devices. Now we keep getting each other's apps!

    Se descargan aplicaciones para mi iPad 64 3G, las cuales en el momento de sincronizar no pasan a la iPad debido a que solicita una autorizacion para el ordenador la cual se autoriza con ID y el Password, esta orden se procesa y vuelve a solicitar nuevamente la autorizacion y asi sucesivamente.
    He intentado creando nuevas cuentas y desinstalando iTunes y volviendolo a instalar.
    Favor de orientarme en la solucion adecuada para el asunto comentado anteriormente.
