Multiple iTunes Match accounts (one per Windows profile)?

Hi,
Forgive me if this subject had been covered before (I did have a quick dig), but is it possible to have seperate iTunes Match accounts, one per Windows profile (on the same box)?
Our Windows 7 system has multiple users and we don't want to merge music into one library just to get Match working.  Is it the case that it's limited by MAC address / physical hardware?  (I don't want to go down the route of having one network interface per windows profile either!)
If somebody from Apple reads this, are there any plans to support this future iTunes releases?  It would bring you more revenue with a household willing to pay for more than one subscription...
Many thanks,
Matt.

You can authorize a single copy of iTunes to up to five iTunes Store accounts. So yes, you can have both your account and one for your daughter in the same system.

  • How do I change ownership on iTunes Match from one account to another?

    I purchased iTunes Match using one account but use another as my account for iCloud and my iPhone. How do I change ownership of my Match account?

    I don't think you can.  Purchases made with an account are tied permanently to that account.  This is the reason why it is not a good idea to have more than one iTunes account unlesss you really need to keep them separate.

  • HT4914 Can more than one icloud account share the same itunes match account?

    I have itunes match on my ipad, iphone and two pc's, my wife has her own itunes account on her iphone and her laptop. Is it possible for her to share my itunes match account so that I only have to worry about one itunes library?

    can my wife also access the same iTunes Match library
    Yes.
    using her - different iTunes account login details.
    No because iTunes Match is tied to your account.
    Try this on her iPhone...
    Settings > Store.
    Tap her acount name, log out then log in with your iTunes account.
    Now Settings > Music.
    Turn on iTunes Match (it should ask for your account password).
    She should then be able to go back to Settings > Store, log out of your iTunes account and log back in with her iTunes account.

  • 2 mac user accounts, 2 itunes match accounts, 1 mac

    I have a mac that I share by two seperate logins. I was using itunes match fine in my login. My gf signed up for itunes match and associated under itunes with in her own login, totally seperate itunes libary etc. Now I had issus with match not working so logged out of itunes match and back in with the same id and I am told
    This computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
    You can use iTunes Match on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days. You cannot associate this computer with a different Apple ID for 79 days
    Am I really facing a situation where we can't have two itunes match accounts on the same hardware even with totally differnt log ins and apple ids?

    This still seems to lead to the suggestion that a piece of mac hardware can not have multiple itunes account, could be time to ask for a refund.
    This is exactly the case. Because iTunes Match is associated with one and only one iTunes Store account ID the same computer hardware can not be associated with two instances of iTunes Match. Just as the same iDevice hardware can not be associated with more than one iTunes Store account at a time.

  • 2 separate itunes & itunes match accounts on 1 computer

    Hi,
    My girlfriend and I have two seperate itunes accounts and two seperate itunes match accounts. I recently added her to my computer, but I'm now unable to access my itunes match contact. I get a message saying only one itunes account can be used per 90 days.
    As we're both paying for the service, it seems pretty bad that I'm now locked out of accessing my own music.
    Does anyone now if there is a workaround for this issue?
    Thanks.

    It's even worse than that. This does not only affect iTunes Match, but also things like downloading past purchases. I switched from my (German) iTunes Match account to the American iTunes account and re-downloaded some old stuff. When I switched back, everything was fine. When I tried to turn on iTunes Match, I get an error message. Bummer. This ***** big time.
    So, be careful when you switch, on what, and what you switch to.

  • Have multiple iTunes libraries on one machine?

    Hi,
    I want to have multiple iTunes libraries on one machine (with two different hard drives, internal fore mp3s and external for AAC files). One library is composed of mp3s for an iPod, I want the other library to have AAC audio files for burning CDs. I would rather the libraries not be mixed.
    I have read the article (#301748) for migrating an iTunes library and am preparing to migrate one of the libraries on to a external hard drive.
    I have read about using Libra to maintain two different libraries on one machine. I was wondering if anyone does this and if they have encountered any problems? Is there a better solution?
    Thank you,
    TPK

    It's one thing to want two music libraries on one machine and another to want two music libraries on one user account. For the latter, here's what I've done.
    I created folders in my iTunes folder called, say, Main Library Folder and Second Library Folder. (These could be anywhere you find convenient.) I dragged my regular iTunes Library file into the Main Library Folder. Then I opened iTunes and created my second music library. When I finished that, I closed iTunes and dragged the just-created iTunes Library file into the Second Library Folder.
    If I want to use my main iTunes library, before opening iTunes I drag an alias (Cmmd-Option-drag) of the iTunes Library file from the Main Library Folder into the iTunes folder. Then, when I open iTunes, iTunes reads my main library file. And of course, it works the same way for the second library.
    Of course, you could just shuffle the actual library files into position in the iTunes folder from their holding areas, but I strongly preferred to get myself into the habit of relying on aliases, so I could leave the actual library file alone in their respective folders. You most definitely would not want to accidentally overwrite one of your iTunes Library files.
    I'm sure one of the shareware products would do a more elegant job, but this just shows you that it's not a difficult process.
    The alternative is to set up separate user accounts to access different libraries on the same machine. This has real benefits and, to me, should be the first option one considers. It's easier on the brain, as it sticks to iTunes' one-user-one-library model, and there's absolutely no risk of getting libraries confused. Fast User Switching on the Mac makes going back and forth between accounts easy. But if you really want to avoid using different accounts, and it's only you that has to keep things straight, the approach of jumping back and forth between different libraries in the same user account should be OK.

  • Itunes Radio choppy or hard to play after upgrading to an itunes match account?

    Hello friends,
    am seeking some help since I have no idea what might be causing the issue. I've been working on this during my freetime for quite a while, but I'm stumped. Hoping some of you can help me.
    Basically, Itunes Radio (and my match songs for that matter) are having a hard time playing on my iPhone 5c, which has recently been updated to ios 8.1. The iphone is a 32GB phone and has plenty of space for apps and third party music players but it is not so great for a huge library. But, the main reason I upgraded to an itunes match account was because of the ability to play itunes radio without any commercials. Well, there's no commercials... but i'm also unable to play itunes radio on my iphone. It plays just fine on my Macbook Pro (2010), with an updated yosemite but whenever I try to play a radio or song from my itunes match library it goes for about 30s, then just...stops, goes 30s ... then stops. So basically, it SOUNDS like an internet connection issue.... but.... well, let me list the things i've already tried.
    -- power cycle (slide to power off); same thing
    -- hard restart (power + home button at the same time); same thing
    -- updated the device; same thing
    -- reset network settings; same thing
    -- reset ALL settings; same thing
    -- restored device to factory settings; same thing
    -- different wifi; same thing
    -- using cellular data; same thing (lasts longer, though...interestingly enough).
    -- turning itunes match on/off; same thing
    -- deleting & syncing itunes match; same thing.
    -- restore device & set up as new; same thing (worked for about 2 songs).
    -- changed all songs to AACC format; same thing
    (same thing = same symptoms, in case you didn't catch that. ;-) )
    I am out of ideas at this point. Anybody want to throw anything at me? I'm seriously willing to try ANYTHING that doesn't require me to wait.
    Should note that I use comcast as my internet provider, we have several internet boosters in the house (hence multiple wifi.... my father needs wifi for work so we have a backup plan for the back up plan) and I have recently gotten in contact with comcast for an unrelated netflix issue.

    Hi, i had the same problem and tried this,
    Somehow iTunes is tied to Safari. Try this:
    Someone mentioned to clear all website data and history in safari, stupid but it was either this or the below that fixed it
    or this,
    Disable Wi-Fi Networking Services
    Many users have reported that they’ve solved their issues by disabling Wi-Fi Networking under Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. This only relates to your location being used for Wi-Fi Networking, so it doesn’t disable Wi-Fi entirely.
    Please let me know if it works.

  • My new Mac doesn't recognize my iTunes Match account, asks me to register and pay again

    I think the title says it all.
    I used to have a Mac laptop, using the paid service iTunes Match for less than a year.
    My computer broke down, so I bought a new Mac,
    when I log in with my account at the iTunes,
    it says that I have to pay and register for an iTunes Match account again.
    It's like it doesn't remember that I already have one.
    How can I solve this issue please?
    Thank you

    You need to log in to the iTunes Store with the exact same Apple ID you used to purchase the service.

  • I have 0 songs in my iCloud/iTunes Match account and it says exceeded limit. How do I fix?

    Hard drive crashed and when I loaded my local songs back into iTunes it wouldn't recognize my library. So I deleted all songs from iCloud to start anew. Now it will not allow me to add anything into my iTunes Match account.   I have deleted the library, loaded an empty one and then reloaded the songs after cleaning out iCloud of all playlists and songs.  I am at wits end. Help.

    Hi,
    Delete around 1,000 tracks so that the limit is reduced below 25k.
    Hold shift key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes then reopen. Turn on match, you will be asked to add this computer, do so. The process may take sometime but if tracks had need previously matched or uploaded, the process will be quicker that a complete new scan.
    Once scan has completed, check that the tracks have been matched, uploaded or purchased. Create a playlist based on iCloud status being matched or uploaded. This will tell you the total number of tracks that count towards the 25k. You can now think about readding the deleted tracks.
    If you go over 25k non iTunes purchased track again, you can use the second library method to manage your main library. When you delete a track from the cloud it does not delete it from your computer. When you go back to your main library you will see the iCloud status as "Removed". Match will ignore in future scans.

  • If i sign up for itunes match with one apple id can i get the other apple id songs

    if i sign up for itunes match with one apple id can i get the other apple id songs

    I'm assuming you mean can you access the purchased songs from another apple id.  No you cannot.  You will need to download these on another computer and then transfer the hard files into your itunes library that you are using icloud with and let icloud match them.
    You cannot access two different id's from one match account.  Also, if you sign out of the match account that you are signed into to another to download purchases you will not be able to sign back into your match account for three months.  So do not do this either.  Just use a friends computer or another way.

  • Can I turn off iTunes match on one computer only?

    I have iTunes installed on two laptops, one at home and one at school (I'm a teacher). iTunes match has worked great for my home computer and iPad, BUT...I do not want my music on the school laptop. Is there a way to turn off iTunes match on one machine only? I thought I had turned it off, but when I went to add some audio books for school it said it was adding them to iTunes match and now the books show up on all my devices.
    To be clear, I want to keep iTunes match for my personal laptop and iPad, but would like to turn it off on the school laptop.

    Hi,
    Yes. To turn off match Go to menu > store > and select turn off itunes match.
    To turn it back on you need to turn on from same point but you will be asked to sign in and add this computer.

  • ITunes Match account when moving from France to USA.

    Hi guys,
    I'm moving from France to California for work in a few month. I have a french iTunes account / iTunes Match account.
    I was wondering how to transfert them as a US account (for iTunes account I'm pretty sure it's easy, but I don't really know for iTunes Match Account).
    Thanks for you help and Hayppy New year

    You cannot transfer iTunes Store accounts across stores. If you will wish to use the US store you will have to switch over completely and start using that store. iTunes Match will have to be canceled and re-subscribed if you switch stores. See this User Tip for more information: How to Change Country with iTunes Match
