Is it possible to sync music purchased through my husbands iTunes account to my iPhone?
Hi, I am trying to sync music from my husband's iTunes account to my iPhone 4. I have been able to sync photos in the past with no problem. However, when I connect my iPhone to his Mac and try to sync the music I get a message that all music on my iPhone will be deleted and replaced by the music being sync'd. Is there any way that I can copy music from his library without loosing the music I've already purchased?
You need to get your husband's music into your iTunes library, once there, you can sync it to your phone. The easiest way to do this is through home sharing:

Cannot sync music purchased on AppleTV to iTunes with 2.0.2
Prior to 2.0.2, music purchased through AppleTV would sync just fine with iTunes (Windows XP). Now, music purchased through AppleTV after I updated to 2.0.2 does not sync with iTunes, nor does it show up in the "Purchased on AppleTV" list in iTunes. Interestingly enough, an interactive booklet associated with one of the albums synced just fine while the music did not.
I've authorized, deauthorized, logged out, logged in, updated iTunes, pretty much everything I can think of. I'm using a wired network and have disabled all firewalls. The purchased music lists and plays just fine through AppleTV.
Not sure if this is related to the other recent sync problems I've read here. Any ideas?
-BenThe lack of an ability to browse AppleTV files and drag and drop into a folder/iTunes or wherever would be so handy in situations like this. If you have a technical issue like this and things won't transfer 'automatically' theer would seem to be no way to pull them over manually.
A couple of weeks ago I came home to find all my synced material and direct AppleTV purchases deleted from AppleTV - I had done nothing to cause this and the box was empty of media - fortunately the purchass had synced back the night before automatically, but had they not done so I would have lost them.
I haven't bought anything via AppleTV since. It's fine to purchase via iTunes but defeats the point of Take 2 user interface, and you couldn't rent HD via iTunes either.
I would send some feedback to Apple about this occurrence as it is not a good user experience that makes you trust AppleTV's purchasing and reverse syncing to iTunes. How on earth are you supposed to listen to purchasdes on an ipod/PC/Mac/iPhone if they're stuck on the AppleTV?

I recently bought an IPhone 4S. My husband activated it for me through his ITunes account. Subsequently, I created my own Apple account. Here is the problem. When I attempt to access ITunes or Apple apps my phone still shows my husbands email address and requests his password. I want to get that changed so it reflects my email address and password but can't seem to do so through the settings mode.

Whenever I try to sync music to my ipod from itunes, it will go through all the steps up until it actually downloads the music, then it starts, and doesnt move. Why wont it download anything?
Try here:
iTunes: Error 13019 during sync
Not updating the iOS should not effect your problem.
As long as all the apps are in the iTunes library, you will not lose app data by updating the iOS. -
I am trying to sync my Ipad 2 to my Itunes account on my laptop. It will only sync my purchased music. All of my personal CD music that is on the account is grayed out with a red circle at the end. Please help.
Did you select all of the music to sync by clicking on the playlists or albums or whatever you use in iTunes - in order for them to sync? Or did you click on Entire Music Library if you want all of your music on the iPad?

How do I sync music purchased from iTunes via my iPhone4 to my computer's iTunes library?
How do I sync music purchased from iTunes via my iPhone4 to my computer's iTunes library without the need of additional software?
Hi,
When you connected your phone on your computer, open up iTunes, then on the left hand side, Right-Click (secondary click) on your iPhone, and choose "Transfer Purchases."

Can I have in one iphone 5 music from more than one itunes accounts? My daughter and I have our music in the same pc. She and I have iTunes accounts. I have not been able to load in my ophone with my itunes acct music that she purchased in her account. I have not been able to do this. Thanks
iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

I'm trying to sync a playlist onto my phone through the computer and it says my device is already synced with another computer with my iTunes account. It only lets me cancel or it gives me the option to erase my contents and sync. Wondering how to get my device from the other computer especially since I don't even know what computer it's connected to.
At some stage is is likely to have been connected to another computer's iTunes. It is now linked to that computer's library and iPhones can only be associated to one library at a time. Linking to a different one requires wiping the phone.
If you used the phone with another computer you owned you can transfer the iTunes library from that computer to this one and the phone will still be syncing with the same library it was before.
If all there is on the phone are items which can be backed up to iTunes and purchases which can be transferred you could do that, then wipe the phone and sync them back. -
I shared my itunes account with my daughter for many years while she had only an ipod. She now has her own iphone with her own itunes account. Is it possible to transfer the purchases she made on my account over to her new itunes account?
No. Purchase always remain with the account they were purchased with.

How can I sync my new iPad with my itunes account on my 4 yr old macbook? I plugged the iPad in once and all music synced. The 2nd time it said update needed. Macbook says no update available.
" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content. -

I setup a separate itunes account for my iphone. I put my ipod music onto it. The music will not sync to my iphone. It tells that all info will be lost if I do it. HELP! The music is showing in the library.
you can connect the iPhone to your mac and import those iPhone photos and videos to iPhoto assuming you have iPhoto. You can create a folder and export all those photos to the Finder. Keep safe somewhere. Also keep the iPhoto library for safe keeping. When you restore your iPhone you can sync all those photos back to the iPhone. so you will lose nothing. Just remember when you export from iPhoto select jpeg for photos and original for videos taken with the iPhone.

Both myself and my wife have 2 separate iTunes accounts, I subscribe to iTunes Match. Music purchased on my wife's account appear on our computer iTunes library but my iPad cannot access the music she has purchased. Is there any way to overcome this
The only way to do what you want is to log into your wife's iTunes Store account on your iPad. Doing this will lock you out of your account for 90 days.
