ITunes account with 2 separate libraries...Can we split the account so neither of us loose our music?
Currently have an iTunes account with 2 separate libraries and would like to split them into two separate accounts. I'd like my niece to have her own account at this point. Can we split the account so that neither of us loose our current music and videos?
You can't split the accounts. Purchased items stay authorized with the account it was purchased on. Really, the only thing you can do is keep your libraries separate and use them that way, or create an account for her, put your purchases in her account and authorize her device(s) to use your apple ID. I've done that with my library; my boyfriend and I share the same library with two different accounts and each of our devices are authorized to play one anothers purchases.
Sorry there's no better way I can think of. I'd like to split our libraries.... I wish Apple would create a feature keeping in mind that people buy new PCs and that family members move and get old enough for their own account, etc. :/

My wife and I share one itunes account with separate libraries. When I sync her iphone in her library, it adds all of my iphone contacts to her contact list. How can we avoid this?
Make groups of contacts in your Address Book and select the option to sync only selected groups to each phone.

I share an Apple ID with someone but we are now on iOS8 and getting each others messages on our iphones and ipad. How can I split the account safely as well as protect icloud backed up data?
Use different Apple IDs for iMessage (and also FaceTime) to avoid getting each others text messages (and FaceTime calls). One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (and Settings>FaceTime), tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. You can continue to shared the same ID for the iTunes store and other services.

How can I add/change e-mail account password? How can I test the account?
For several days I have been unable to send or receive messages using Thunderbird. Works OK with another mail client. This problem started right after installing a security update 24.4.0 (20140316131045). I went to Options/Security/Passwords and deleted all the saved passwords. When I try to download messages, however, the system is not asking me to enter a new password. Thunderbird regrettably lacks a "Test" button to test access to the accounts.
Any suggestions?If you're not being prompted for the password Thunderbird is unable to reach the server.
Verify your firewall settings and make sure Thunderbird isn't blocked.
You can easily verify your password using webmail. -
I had to erase my hard drive and reinstall ox snow leopard. when i try to sync my Iphone or Ipad it says that my device was synced with another computer and I will loose my songs on the Iphone or ipad and it will be replaced by the library that is on my computer now. The library is empty since I had to erase the hard drive. Can anyone help?
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone/iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone/iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip. -
My husband and I share a new PC. We have different music tastes and each have an iphone. How can we both use our one computer and one itunes program with separate music libraries and separate iphones?
Each device only syncs waht you select.
Select only what you want for each phone. -
if I already have an iTunes account with my family can I open a new iTunes account to sync my old iphone 4 and new iphone 5?
Hi Rileycarline,
You can easily have an iCloud account that is separate from the Apple ID that is used for iTunes purchases. Take a look at the article below to walk you through that specific setup process of have an account for iCloud and one for Store purchases.
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes

I owe 27 dollars on itunes and i got a 25 dollar itunes card if i were to update my account with my new credit card would the 27 dollars be deducted from my credit card or would the itunes gift card pay for the 25 and my card would pay for the $2 left.
Generaly, if you have an iTunes card and a valid credit card, you have the option of charging your purchases to eiher one or the other? By default, it goes to your iTunes card, but you can override that.

I have a problem with Mail on my Macbook Pro. It is configurated with a gmail account, and now I can't access the mail. Is it possible to reboot the account or..? Please help:)
The question mark means the computer cannot find a bootable volumes so can;t do anything, That, combined with annoying sounds, strongly suggests a failed hard drive.
You can ask a "genius" at an Apple Rtail Store to test it but I'm pretty sure the drive is kaput. I'm hoping you had your data backed up. -
