My family has separate icloud accounts, but we want to share an iTunes account. How do we do that?

This is still not related to iCloud. Suppose your son has his own iTunes library. He connects his iPod to that, and the contents of his library are transferred to his iPod.
Now he connects to your Library; and his iPod is wiped and the contents of your Library transferred to it.
Any workaround is going to involve manual operation or sharing, and is outside my experience. Your best bet would be to start a new thread and ask about sharing different people's libraries, without mentioning iCloud which is a red herring.

I would like to buy an app but when I do it says there is an account billing problem and it brings me to my billing account but I want to use my iTunes card, how do I fix that

I can't buy or install any apps because it says that I need to fix my billing information but instead I want to use an iTunes card to buy the item I want but it wont let me

If you have a credit card on your account then it has to be a valid card - do you get the 'none' option on your account so that you can remove the card, or is there an error show anywhere on the card payment details screen so that you can correc it ?
As long as you are buying content for yourself and not trying to gift, then your balance should be automatically used for its purchase.

My laptop is no longer reliable. I want to share my iTunes account with my new iPad 3.   I just started viewing my iPad window on my 50 inch Panasonic wirelessly via Apple Tv 2. That amazing.    I would like to access my iTunes store via iPad for podcast

Now I want to share my iTunes account with my Apple TV 1, and my iPad 3, without the need of booting up the unreliable laptop where I set it up last year.   do I have to use my. Pc laptop to access the iTunes store again too authorize home sharing.   I have tried it before. O for a while I thought the we're sharing, now the Apple Tv has gone back to telling me to use my computer too sign into iTunes.
there maybe a far simpler way to enjoy iTunes on my iPad and Apple Tv.   I also have the Sony blurry Google Tv. I will upgrade my PC with Windows Z8 and a screaming ran cache, ram disk on a 79 mother board and then pay 5 bucks a month for OnLive Plus that I hpe to show wirelesslypy on the big scree 50 inch Panasonic.   I have waited for years to upgrade as I wanted to help my kids in college. They are finished and so I have money fr my self.CELEBRATE

Are you using the charger and cable that came with the phone?
Are you using an unauthorized third party charger?

My husband and I dont want to share our itunes account anymore, how can we separate them, start a new one and not lose data, photos and music.

HI! My husband and I share an itunes account, we have different taste in music and are sick of each others crap (so to speak haha). I want to open a new itunes account for him, without him losing his data, music and photos. How do we do this?

Each device only syncs waht you select.
Select only what you want for each phone.

I downloaded GarageBand on my ipod but I want to buy all the instruments how do I do that

I downloaded GarageBand on my ipod but I want to buy all the instruments how do I do this

All of the instruments are listed. It prompts you if you want to buy all of the instruments if you try to use one that is locked. If you bought your device after the iOS 7 release, you're fine and all of the instruments are unlocked.

I have a pc, iphone 4s and ipad2, my daughter has an iphone 4s and macbook pro. I want to share an itunes account. Can there be two icloud accounts sharing one itunes account?

Between my daughter and I, we have 6 devices, can they all share the same itunes account and have two separate icloud accounts? My itunes account ID is different from my apple ID and my daughter's apple ID. Is it ok that they are all different. If yes, how do they all sync up if they are different? Help!!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes that will work, enter the iTunes Store details into itunes on the computer and into settings > Store on your iOS devices in all cases, enter your iCloud Sync ID into system preferences > iCloud on the computer and settings > iCloud on iOS devices as required for each iCloud ID.

We have the same icloud but we want to take one iphone off, how do i do that and not delete the info. off the second iphone?

I know it says you can go and delete the accout but i dont want to do that because im scared that if i do it will delete all of my stuff too! Can anyone help me?

With the current iTunes version, there is no Sync Apps selection.
For an app in your iTunes library that is currently installed on your iPhone that you don't want on your iPhone, you can select Remove foir the app under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync. Below the Apps window under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Automatically install new apps if selected.
To prevent apps downloaded direct with your iPhone from being downloaded with iTunes on your computer, at the iTunes menu bar on your computer go to iTunes > Preferences > Store. Below Automatic Downloads, deselect Apps if selected.

TS1969 What if I want iTunes to run from the other user's account, but I want to work in my account for a while, without interupting what is playing? When I switch to my account, how can I STOP iTunes FROM TRYING TO OPEN on my side?

We like listening to music playing from wife's user account.
I want to do some work from my account.
I don't want iTunes to open on my user account.
It keeps trying to, giving me the alert beep and the "Cannot Open iTunes" alert.
How do I make it stop trying to automatically open on one account when it is already playing on the other account?
Again, I want to keep listening to what is playing through my wife's account, therefore I don't want it to open or try to open on my account.
Thanks for any guidance.

Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

HT201269 I want to share my Itunes account with my Husband account . How do I do that

All of our music is in my Itunes account and my husbands phone is not like to my account. How do I link the accounts so he can access his music? I place the music on his Iphone
THanks

You both have to use your Apple ID in order to use the same iTunes Library. But then you will also get each others mail, calendars, messages, etc.
The alterhative is that he repurchases his music under his Apple ID, which is what you both should have been doing from the start.

2 user accounts on iMac, want to share one iTunes library between the 2

I saw some old discussions on this topic from 2006. But I wanted to ask users of the current versions of iTunes and Lion, how they are acomplishing this. We want to share the same music libray between 2 user accounts. Just think of it as an old school CD case, me or my wife would have access to the same library. How are you guys acomplishing this today?
Thanks,
Mark

You were on track, I ended up having to go to all of the itunes*.it* files, about 5 of them and the itunes directory and set read/right attributes on each file individually. I got the library selected in my wife's profile, then started playing some music, I relabeled the library "Our Library" then logged out of her profile. I logged in, launched iTunes, no problem, it opened up where I had it before, not in the place I was playing music in my wife's profile, but I have it open in both profiles and can play music in both and can access it from the "remote" app on my ipod. All good it appears!!
Funny, I called apple care on this topic earlier today and they said it could not be done. That's sad.
Thanks!

We have never used multiple User Accounts on our iMac. The only reason we want to is for iMessage, Mail, FaceTime, Notifications, iCloud. However, we want to share iPhoto, iTunes, and documents/folders. Should I share Macintosh HD?

Macintosh HD > Get Info > (select) Shared Folder
Is this the best way for my wife and I to share common folders and files, but not usernames, messages, and email?

With regard to FT and iMessage... Have a look Here-

How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

I don't want to upgrade to ios7 on iPhone 4. But instead want to upgrade to ios6. How can I do that?

I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. I want to upgrade it to iOS 6. How can I do that when iOS 7 is available in the market. I fear upgrading to ios 7 will make my phone pretty slow. Gene I want to upgrade to iOS 6. Pls advise

You cannot. As long as your device is qualified to run the most recent iOS, that's the iOS that will be installed on your device. If you are currently at iOS 5.1, the update that will be installed is iOS 7.0.3. The update process will skip iOS 6.x.x since it is no longer valid for your device.

My wife and I both have the new iPhones. Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac? So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.
