  • How do I change the itunes account my iphone is linked to?

    My wife and I both have Itunes accounts but somehow my iphone is linked to her account. I simply want to link my iphone to my account and can't discover how to do this. Should be very simple I guess but if i try and edit her ID on Itunes by putting mine in, it says that I can't as my ID is already in use!! Aagh!

    My recommendation would be to set this up as a brand new iPhone, just as if it came out of the box.
    Do that in Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
    You will then be directed to the welcome to iPhone screen, just as you would with a brand new device.

  • HT1689 I've downloaded music on my iPad on one iTunes account if I change account will I lose all my music

    I've recently bought a new iPhone 4s and made my very own iTunes account . I was given an iPad an I've been using someone's elses iTunes account . If I change iPad iTunes account to mine--- will I lose the music on my iPad

    Anything Obtained with an Apple ID is Tied to that Apple ID...
    From Here   http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • Multi iTune accounts in iPhone

    I have 2 different iTune accounts for different countries.  However, even after I changed from Account A to B in iTune and App Store, the App update is still stuck in Account A and won't let me to update the Apps only available to Account B.  Suggestions?

    Question for you.   I have the same problem BUT...  I can not update my Iphone via the phone because it shows my other account.  
    I'm not sure why you can't update your phone?
    The phone updates don't need an itunes account.
    I go into both accounts via computer and I have no idea how to "update" my apps from there.
    Updating the apps in itunes is easy too.
    Just click on the apps "tab", and you should see "XX Updates available" in the bottom right corner.
    Click on that and choose the update options.
    It should help you through switching accounts on the fly.
    Can't I just change (and how do I do it) my phone to the correct account I want to use?
    As I said above you can only have one account active on your phone.
    You can't change apps to other accounts, so if you'll have to download/buy the apps again using the one account.
    But my phone has apps from three itunes accounts and I have no problems updating apps or my iphone.
    I use one mainly, but buy apps on different accounts depending on country and how I want to pay.

  • Problems creating separate iTunes account from iPhone

    My wife and I have iPhones. I'm a MobileMe account user and my wife's email address is another email address within my MM account (I'm [email protected] and she is [email protected]). If we try to access iTunes with her existing email address it says the ID doesn't exist but when we try to set up a new user account in iTunes through her iPhone we're getting the message that the account is on an existing MobileMe account so won't set up new account.
    How do we set up 2 iPhones to work with these email ID's?

    If your wife's MobileMe address is an alias address under your MobileMe account, this is likely the problem when trying to create a new iTunes account with an alias email address, which is under the primary MobileMe account/address.
    If both iPhones are synced with the same iTunes library at the present time with all 3rd party apps in your iTunes library and on each iPhone purchased/downloaded with your existing iTunes account, why do you want to create another iTunes account? All 3rd party apps and video purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to purchase/download the content.

  • One iTunes account, Two iPhones...Help

    Hi everyone,
    I am an iPhone user. I pay the bill for my iPhone and my wife's cell phone. I am getter her an iPhone but don't want here to have my contacts and calender on her phone. Am I right in assuming that she must have her own iTunes account and Calender to make it HER phone?
    Has anyone else dealt with this kind of issue?
    Thanks

    You can do this with the same iTunes account and computer login account on your Mac, but best to create an additional login account on your Mac for your wife.
    This will give your wife her own Home folder directory for creating her contact information and calendar events only with the Address Book and iCal applications under her login account which will be synced with her iPhone.
    She can also create and access her email account or accounts only with the Mail application under her computer login account. You can enable Fast User Switching on your Mac to make the process of switching between multiple computer login accounts a fast and easy process.
    OS X was designed for multiple users - with the Home folder/directory and the data stored within kept separate and protected. Each user has a shared folder for sharing documents and other data between multiple login accounts.
    She can transfer music from the iTunes library under your login account and the same for photos transfered from your computer to the iPhone, and sync contact information and calendar events only under her login account.

  • HT1203 one itunes account 2 iphones

    How do i can manage 1 itunes account, with 2 iPhones, me and my wife, she doesnt need my contacts, But we dont want to buy twice the apps?
    any ideas??
    TXS!

    Two Apple ID's for iCloud syncing if you want that on each device.
    One Apple ID for apps and media, this can (and should) be the same Apple ID that one device uses for iCloud.

  • My ipad and ipod were both stolen from my home during a robbery. how do I unauthorize both of these without having them in my possession. I did delete the ipad from my itunes account and have changed my passwords.

    My ipad and my ipod were both stolen during a robbery at our home. How can I deauthorize both of these without having them in my possession? I did delete the ipad from my itunes account.

    Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
    Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.

  • Itunes account for iphone 4 has one balance. iPad has another balance?

    I recently purchased an iPad 2 (16GB 3G) and purchased a $25 iTunes card. I also have an iPhone 4 with a current iTunes account. The balance is not the same on my phone. I only have one account and use the same log in credentials for both. Shouldn't my balance be the same no matter what device?

    It should be.  Have you tried restarting the devices?
    BTW, you have posted in the Itunes U forum.  Itunes U is where colleges, universities and museums post educational material for students.
    As your question has nothing to do with itunes U, it may help to post an a more appropriate forum.

  • New laptop set up with new itunes account, need to change it.

    I purchased a new macbook pro for my daughter.  Up to now we shared an itunes account, the associate helping us convinced us to set up her new laptop with a new itunes account.  The associate made it seem like it would be easy to transfer the music from one account to another.  I'm now finding out that is not the case.  Is there a way to change how her computer is set up?  I'm thinking if we set up my itunes account on her computer she will be able to access her music.

    Locate the song files in the Finder, move them to the USB drive, take the USB drive to the new computer, drag the files to the internal drive, and from there into the open iTunes application window.

  • Multiple itunes accounts on iphone

    Hi I have recently upgraded my iOS and my OSX. I will eventually have to completely erase my iPhone because I had to move my iTunes library.
    My problem is that I have two iTunes accounts, and there are purchased songs on my iPhone currently that I am unable to play. How do I "re-authorize" my iPhone to play songs I purchased under both accounts?
    I do not want to sync everything from my iTunes library to my iPhone, my library is too big, this is why I manage content manually.

    You don't authorize devices, you authorize computers. Log into iTunes using each of your iTunes accounts & go up to Store>Authorize this Computer, for each account. Once done you can sync whatever you like to your phone.
    FYI:
    There is absolutely no advantage to manually managing music with an iPhone. The real benefit to manually managing content is the ability to add content from multiple computers to your device, something you can't do with an iPhone. Since some content must be synced, it's better to create playlists for your music & then sync those playlists to your phone. However, it's your phone/computer, do what you want.

  • Can't Configure iTunes account on IPhone

    I am trying to download music through the new iTunes o my iPhone and when I click Buy Now, it says
    "No account information found. Please connect to iTunes to configure your account."
    Well I plugged it into my computer and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for your time.
    Andrew

    This did not work for me. I synced my iphone with itunes WHILE signed into my itunes store account, and I still cannot download anything from the store with my iphone -- getting the same message about no account information found, etc.
    It sure would be nice if Apple would publish a support document describing how to do this....

  • 1 iTunes account two iPhones 1 Verizon 1 AT&T

    My work just gave me a company Iphone 4s with service through Verizion.  I already have an AT&T 4s which is synched with my Macbook Pro and Itunes account.  Has anyone used two Iphones on one account from the 2 providers?  I would like to have any tips or feed back on the experience. 

    You can absolutely sync two iPhones, or any number of iOS devices, with one computer and one iCloud/iTunes account. It doesn't matter what kind of devices they are or what cell provider the iPhones have. What I would recommend, though, would be to turn on iCloud and let iCloud hash out all the syncrhonizing. If you don't have Lion on your MacBook Pro, I suggest upgrading to take advantage of iCloud.

  • Cannot connect to itunes account on iphone?

    hey,
    I am trying to connect to my iTunes account on my iPhone 3G S but it keeps giving me an error message "Your iTunes password is incorrect. Please try again." I called apple twice today and they solved my problem by syncing my iPhone, but I still have the same problem about 5 minutes later. Can anyone help me??

    I suggest a restart and if that doesn't correct the problem, try a restore.
    Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
