ITunes User Account

Hi,
I am new to using the iphone and have created an itunes account, when i got to the itunes store from my iphone it says to enter my account name and password, i entered the required information then it came up with an error message saying incorrect password, i know the information is correct, so i'm wondering where i need to go to reset all of my details so i can access the store via my iphone. any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello Ronnie7,
Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
If you are presented with a sign in window on the iPhone that lacks the iTunes ID, the ID has not synced over to your iPhone from iTunes.
If simply syncing with iTunes while you are logged into the iTunes Store on the computer does not sync your iTunes ID to the iPhone try the following:
On your computer, download the Free Single of the Week from the iTunes Store.
You may be presented with a new iTunes Store Terms and Conditions page -- choose "agree."
Make sure that free song is set to sync to the iPhone in the Music tab for your iPhone.
Sync the Free Single to the iPhone.
This should put a fresh copy of your iTunes ID onto the iPhone.
Beyond that, you can try Deauthorizing and Reauthorizing your computer:

  • I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked, so that when I delete a song from one library it deletes from the other one. 
    On the online tutorials I've seen it shows that when you create a new iTunes library it should open as a blank account, but that isn't happening.
    What am I doing wrong?

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    If necessary:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • How do you transfer songs to second iTunes user account; same computer

    How do I transfer songs from one user account to another user account on the same computer?
    I've given my son his own account on our second computer. Prior to this, he shared his sister's iTunes account, using a playlist to populate his ipod. Now that he has his own account, he wants to transfer his music to his own account. Is it possible to do this quickly? I've been able to copy some actual song files from the first iTunes library and physically move them to the new account using a flash drive, but this is cumbersome. Any better options? Thanks.

    Sounds like a good plan. What folder/files do I move...the entire 'iTunes Media' folder?  ...and how do I point to it...through the advanced preferenced feature?
    It would be the folder you have selected as your Library folder. Usually Mac HD/Users/[User]/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media
    See below:
    Select Mac HD/Users/Shared/Music - CREATE IT if need be
    Move your iTunes folder to the new Music folder. You'll probably have to "re import" the Library in iTunes. (Clear the old library first)
    But ionce it;s in the Shared Music folder, EVERY account on the comp can access those files for their own library (whichever songs THEY want) and you onle need ONE copy of everything.
    Each user can only access or modify THEIR OWN library while logged on so it prevents someone erasing another's library, because the iTunes Library file is in a locked folder when others are logged in.

  • ITunes & User Account Control In Windows 7 64 Bit

    I have an iPod Touch 5G, and a PC running Windows 7 64 bit. The latest Windows 64 bit iTunes with the latest update that was released a few days ago is installed. When the PC starts, a warning screen appears asking if I want to allow iTunes to run. This is the iTunes Helper app that wants to open first and stay resident so that if I plug in my iPod Touch it will be recognized and open iTunes as designed.
    Yes, on the summary pane in iTunes, the “Open iTunes when this iPod is attached” option is checked and so is the option for connecting via wireless.
    The only way to prevent this is to turn off User Account Control for the entire PC which of course should not be necessary if iTunes was working as designed with the proper certificates installed.
    I have removed iTunes, Bonjour and the two other Apple apps that appear in Control Panel >Programs, then re-installed the iTunes Win7 64 bit file as administrator.
    It's installed as the administrator and the only user on the PC, hence by default I am the administrator. I have also clicked on Properties for iTunes, Run as Administrator, but the UAC warning screen will still appear every single time I boot the PC.
    How do I get iTunes to be properly recognized so that Windows doesn’t detect it as a rouge program trying to gain access that it’s not entitled to.
    Furthermore, this also prevents me from drag & dropping songs from Explorer to iTunes. The only way I can drag & drop songs from Explorer to iTunes is to turn UAC off completely.This is a feature that is explained in the instructions as a means of linking songs from your Explorer folders so they reflect in iTunes.
    This appears to have been an issue since 2010 as others have experienced it also, so hopefully by now the procedure for resolving it must have surfaced.

    Quicktime does NOT start
    Many thanks.
    In recent times, the error-message-free iTunes and QuickTime launch failures have been indicating that another application has stashed old QuickTime componentry in your system files.
    So just in case we'll go looking for older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view settings.
    In your Start menu, open Computer.
    In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
    In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
    Click OK.
    Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
    What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • I was given an iTouch with a music library loaded for me under another iTunes user account and need to know how to add it to my library/iTunes user account.

    I receiced an iPad Touch for my birthday (before I had an iTunes account) and my friend loaded it with the music we both like.  Since it was loaded with his iTunes account; I cannot sync it to my music library.  I would like help to see if there's a way to do move this music to my iTunes music library.  Please note that none of the music on the iTouch was purchased; the music came from his private library of music that has been in his collection for years, all live concerts, etc.  I do respect the whole thing about protecting artists, for what it is worth the music is all live Grateful Dead concerts; the Grateful Dead allowed taping so there are no copyright issues here.

    Sweet!  Finally another Dead Head!!!
    The short answer is have your friend burn those tracks to CDs and then import them into your iTunes library.
    For lllaass:  Its obvious you have never been to a Dead show, so we'll cut you some slack.  The tracks in question were never purchased, they were taped live during the show.  The Greatful Dead has always reserved "front row center" for a group affectionately called "tapers," because they always came prepared to record each show, and owing to the fact that no two shows were the same, some of those tapes are one of a kind.....  I have taped shows myself, namely the shows at RFK Stadium in DC, and the Coliseum in Charlotte NC.

  • Syncing my ipod to other itune user accounts

    I'm wondering, how can I get music from another itunes account without collecting all of that persons music and without losing all of mine?

    You'd have manage content manually on your iPod to do this. This would mean that you would have to drag and drop all of your music/video to your iPod instead of it automatically syncing. See this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61148

  • Itunes user accounts help!

    I think I am about to have a heart attack.
    In order to resolve our issues with my iphone stuff going onto my partner's ipad, I did what the Apple website said and held down the shift button while opening itunes in order to create him his own itunes account as we only have ONE desktop to use for our house.
    I created his account and then we ended up having to go to the apple store anyways to get advice, but now we are home and I want to access MY itunes account in my desktop that i have been using for years and it's not there.
    Holding shift down while opening itunes brings up a dialogue box which states i can quit, open an account or create an account.
    HOW do I get my itunes back?
    I had playlists, equalizer setting and loudness settings for over 30,000 song files, not to mention my movies, books, apps.
    If I don't hold shift down when opening itunes, it just opens my partners itunes which has nothing in it but a few ipad apps.
    Can anyone help me out please, I feel like my head is going to explode.
    thanks,
    Michael

  • Change my user account?

    Can I change my iTunes user account name and password without loosing access to my purchased music? How do I do this?
    Kevin

    Yes.
    After you sign into the iTunes Store, in the top right is a box with your email.
    Click it, verify your password, then you can change your email in the account settings.

  • Sharing an iTunes Library across multiple user account and a network.

    Sharing an iTunes Music Library across multiple user accounts.
    Hello Everybody!
    Firstly, this was designed to be run in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. It will not work with earlier versions of Mac OS X! Sorry.
    Here's a handy tip for keeping your hard drive neat and tidy, it also saves space, what in effect will be done is an iTunes music library will be shared amongst multiple users on the same machine. There are advantages and disadvantages to using this method.
    • Firstly I think it might be worthwhile to state the advantages and disadvantages to using this approach.
    The advantages include:
    - Space will be saved, as no duplicate files will occur.
    - The administrator will be able to have complete control over the content of the iTunes library, this may be useful for restricting the content of the Library; particularly for example if computer is being used at and education institution, business or any other sort of institution where things such as explicit content would be less favorable.
    - The machine will not be slowed by the fact that every user has lots of files.
    The disadvantages to this system include.
    - The fact that the account storing the music will have to be logged in, and iTunes will have to be active in that account.
    - If the account housing the music is not active then nobody can use the iTunes library.
    - There is a certain degree of risk present when an administrator account must be continually active.
    - Fast User Switching must be enabled.
    Overview:
    A central account controls all music on the machine/network, this is achieved by storing iTunes files in a public location as opposed to in the user's directory. In effect the system will give all users across the machine/network access to the same music/files without the possibility of files 'doubling up' because two different users like the same types of music. This approach saves valuable disk space in this regard and may therefore prove to be useful in some situations.
    This is a hearty process to undertake, so only follow this tutorial if you're willing to go all the way to the end of it.
    Process:
    Step 1:
    Firstly, we need to organize the host library, I tidied mine up, removing excess playlists, random files, things like that. this will make thing a bit easier in the later stages of this process.
    Once the library is tidied up, move the entire "iTunes" folder from your Home directory to the "//localhost" directory (The Macintosh HD) and ensure that files are on the same level as the "Applications", "Users", "Library" and "System" directories; this will ensure that the files in the library are available to all users on the machine (this also works for networks)
    Optionally you can set the ownership of the folder to the 'administrator' account (the user who will be hosting the library.), you may also like to set the permissions of 'you can' to "Read & Write" (assuming that you are doing this through the user who will host the library); secondly you should set the "Owner" to the administrator who will be hosting the library and set their "access" to "Read & Write" (this will ensure that the administrator has full access to the folder). The final part of this step involves setting access for the "Others" tab to "Read Only" this will ensure that the other users can view but not modify the contents on the folder.
    Overview:
    So far we have done the following steps:
    1. Organized the host library.
    2. Placed the iTunes directory into a 'public' directory so that other users may use it. (this step is essential if you plan on sharing the library across multiple accounts on the same machine. NOTE: this step is only necessary if you are wanting to share you library across multiple accounts on the same machine, if you simply want to share the music across a network, use the iTunes sharing facility.
    3. set ownership and permissions for the iTunes music folder.
    Step 2:
    Currently the administrator is the only user who can use this library, however we will address this soon. In this step we will enable iTunes music sharing in the administrator's account, this will enable other users to access the files in the library.
    If you are not logged in as the administrator, do so; secondly, open iTunes and select "Preferences" from the "iTunes" menu, now click the "Sharing" tab, if "share my library on my local network" is not checked, the radio buttons below this will now become active, you may choose to share the entire libraries contents, or share only selected content.
    Sharing only selected content may be useful if their is explicit content in the library and minors use the network or machine that the library is connected to.
    If you have selected "share entire library" go to Step 3, if you have selected share "share selected playlists" read on.
    After clicking "share selected playlists" you must then select the playlists that you intend to share across your accounts and network. Once you have finished selecting the playlists, click "OK" to save the settings.
    Overview:
    In this step we:
    1. Enabled iTunes sharing in the administrator's account, now, users on the local network may access the iTunes library, however, users on the same machine may not.
    Step 3:
    Now we will enable users on the same machine to access the library on the machine. This is achieved by logging in as each user, opening iTunes, opening iTunes preferences, and clicking "look for shared music". now all users on the machine may also access the library that the administrator controls.
    This in effect will mean that the user will not need to use their user library, it will be provided to them via a pseudo network connection.
    As a secondary measure, I have chosen to write a generic login script that will move any content from the user's "Music/iTunes/iTunes Music" directory to the trash and then empties the user's trash.
    This is done through the use of an Automator Application: this application does the following actions.
    1. Uses the "Finder" action "Get Specified Finder Items"
    1a. The user's "~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music" folder
    2. Uses the "Finder" action "Get Folder Contents"
    3. Uses the "Finder" action "Move to Trash"
    4. Uses the "Automator" action "Run AppleScript"
    4a. with the following:
    on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Finder"
    empty trash
    end tell
    return input
    end run
    IMPORTANT: Once the script is adapted to the user account it must be set as a login item. in order to keep the script out of the way i have placed it in the user's "Library" directory, in "Application Support" under "iTunes".
    Overview:
    Here we:
    1. Enabled iTunes sharing in the user accounts on the host machine, in effect allowing all users of the machine to view a single iTunes library.
    2. (Optional) I have created a login application that will remove any content that has been added to user iTunes libraries, this in effect stops other users of the machine from adding music and files to iTunes.
    Step 4:
    If it is not already enabled, open system preferences and enable Fast User Switching in Accounts Options.
    Summary:
    We have shared a single iTunes library across multiple user account, while still allowing for network sharing. This method is designed to save space on machines, particularly those with smaller hard drives.
    I hope that this hint proves to be helpful and I hope everybody will give me feedback on my process.
    regards,
    Pete.

    how to share music between different accounts on a single computer

  • How can I share my iTunes library between user accounts in iTunes 11

    Since upgrading my iTunes library to Version 11 I can no longer share the library between user accounts on the same Mac.
    The 2nd user is asked to create oir use an iTunes library, but when it is pointed to the Media folder it cannot share it.
    Previously in iTunes 10 it all worked fine.
    How can this be done please?
    The library is in a shared areas that we both have Read/Write permissions to.

    You cannot tranfser items from one iTunes account to another. Purchased items remain part of the iTunes account is was purchased with.

  • One iTunes account with 2 separate user accounts?

    I'm trying to figure out how to set up my daughter since we're upgrading her from an iPod Touch to an iPhone minus the phone (my hubby got a new iPhone 4S and she's getting his 3GS but it's got no phone contract so it works like a larger, more souped up iPod Touch!)
    I initially wanted to start her on her own iTunes account from now on to make it clean and get her going on iCloud with her own stuff.  But, from what I've read, there may be an advantage to keeping her on my iTunes account for now since she won't really be making any independent purchases without my approval.  That said, I'm not exactly crazy about her syncing to my iTunes library all the time - and I definitely don't want her photo stream!
    Is there a way to establish TWO user accounts on my iMac which would lead to TWO iTunes and iPhoto libraries (I think?) but use ONE iTunes account for both of them?
    I've read through the help but most seems to be going the other direction - (2 itunes accounts, 1 library).
    Thanks for the help -
    Alexa

    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. :/

  • How do I use one iTunes library for several user accounts?

    This is definitely a question!
    I have several user accounts for my osx. One I use at home, one at work etc.
    What I never have been able ta manage is a way to use the same iTunes library (the same music files) for the different accounts.
    When a new user profile is created, everything in it is set to scratch.
    I have tried all kinds of tricks:
    - Direct iTunes to look for It's library on the other users folder (wich doesn't really work, cus even if you are Admin you don't have access to other users folders through another user).
    - Creat an alias for the other library-folder and refere to it.
    etc. etc. You name it...
    Anyone?

  • Two Libraries on ONE user account, or multiple iTunes?

    I have a rather large library of music and spoken word
    shows that I share at work, and I'd like to split these
    into two libraries, one for those who listen to the
    Spoken Word playlists, and the other for the music lovers.
    My biggest complaint I get daily is that the 5 user limit locks out too many users and they often perch like hawks
    to get on just to hear their favorite song or to hear
    an interview.
    How do I enable the use of either two iTunes running at the same time on my mac, or the running of two libraries
    to share out, on the same mac?
    I downloaded Libra, but it only allows you to
    switch libraries one at a time, enable two or more.
    Where am I missing it?

    The library was in the user account you deleted.  You should have transferred the iTunes folder before deleting the account.
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    Hi b noir, I also have two users on one pc with two different iTunes libraries.  But I also want to put them onto an external hard drive so that I can free up some memory on the pc.  So I figure I need to consolidate the two users iTunes libraries first before moving to hard drive?  But not quite sure how to do that on the iTunes 11?  Thanking you in advance!!
