Sorry, but the only answer is that you can't.

My daughter and I have the same ITunes account. How can we separate them?

My daughter and I share the same ITunes account. How can we separate the accounts?

I shared my iTunes account with my 2 daughters for years. A few months ago, switched to iOS 8 and Yosemite and upgraded to Family Sharing. We can still share music/apps/etc, BUT now everyone in the family has their own playlists, document, etc. Works great.
More info here:

Our family has multiple products from IPods, IPads, IMac, and Apple TV. However, we made a mistake when registering them so that we seem to have at least two different ITunes accounts. How do I combine them or reset the accounts to make them one?

Over the years we have purchased multiple products from IPods, IPads, to IMacs. Unfortunately, along the way, we accidentally created more than one ITunes accounts so that we can only access some songs etc on certain devices and not on others. How do we reset our devices to create one account or transfer our music to one account?

You don't. You cannot combine iTunes accounts at this time. Pick the one that you want to use and stick to that one account for all the purchases.

I look after multiple ipads each with their own itunes account. How can I manage them all from one computer.

I am looking after 20 ipads each with their own itunes account. Am I able to have more than one itunes account on my computer so that I can sync these ipads when necessary. We don't always buy our songs on itunes. Sometimes we buy the cds and download them onto itunes so i need to attach them to the computer to sync the songs. I will need to do this all on my one computer. Can this be done. If not, what do you do in this instance.

Best way to do it is to create a user for each iTunes account.

HT1918 2 daugheters received an iPad. Both are on my iTunes account. How to differentiate the two devices in the Game Center?

So my two daughters (aged 7 & 9) each received an iPad for Christmas. They are interested in the same games and I installed them on their device. Because I registered both of their iPads on my iTunes account, when play these games they are "me". I would like to differentiate the two so they are each playing their own account. Do I need to create seperate iTunes accounts for them? If I do that, I can't install the apps that I have already bought. There must be a way! Any help would be appreciated.

The reason you are receiving each other's text messages is because you are both using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To prevent this you need to use different IDs. (Note: you can still share the same ID for iTunes.) On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.
To migrate your 3GS to a new iCloud account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep on the phone to your camera roll. To do this, open the my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Next, if you have any notes that you are syncing with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to email these to yourself so they can be recreated after moving to the new account.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, choose Keep On My iPhone. Next, sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account, turn iCloud data syncing preferences and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, if you have merged data in the two accounts that you want to separate you will have to go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account.

My kids are linked to my itunes account. How do I set them up under their own accounts/credit cards without losing any of their music, apps etc?

Basically there are 3 users , each with their own iphones using the same username, password and credit card to purchase stuff. I want to give one of them their own personal account and a different card but obviously keep their current songs. They are set up as 3 different users on a Windows PC. Thanks all!!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your children are under 13, you should open 2 new accounts for yourself and let them use it. They can use these ID's for iCloud and so have their own email! contacts! calendars etc, but still share your original ID for iTunes for apps, music, etc. You can continue to sync them with your computer.

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.

My wife and I have 2 new iphone 4's but one current iTunes account. How do we sync with one account?..or do we need to have 2 itunes accounts?

My wife and I recently purchased 2 new iphone 4's. I have an itunes account with tones of songs. How do I sync the phones with my itunes account? Since there are 2 phones, do we need to open a second itunes account? If so, is there anyway to transfer music from one account to another?

You can both share the same iTunes account for iTunes content, but you need separate Apple ID's to use iCloud, iMessage, FindMyPhone & FaceTime. The Apple ID's for iCloud, etc. MUST be verifiable email addresses. If you don't setup separate Apple ID's for this suff, you'll have a mess on your hands. Here's Apple's support document on using multiple devices on one computer:

Someone is logged into my iTunes account. How do I get them off without having their phone?

My ex boyfriend is logged into my iTunes account and I don't want him logged into it.how do I get him logged out without having his phone?

Change your password.

I had my own laptop with my own iTunes account on it. However the laptop is now broken. My partner has his laptop but his already got his own iTunes account. How can I sync my iPod and iPhone to this laptop but use my iTunes?

Can we both use the same iTunes but get all our music ect into one? Or can we share our separate accounts between devices? We both have iPod touch, iPhone 4 and an iPad each. At the moment I can't seem to get to my iTunes as it come up that it will delete everything in my phone/iPod but u have downloaded things to the devices directly and don't want to lose that?

Hello Miss,
To set up a new Windows user account, if it is Windows 7, go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts and Family Safety > Add or Remove User Accounts > Create New Account.
The old laptop is probably on Windows XP, so the menus may look a little different.
Once they each have their own Windows user account, they can each work with their own iTunes library, and all content will be independently managed. That should avoid snarls and demerits in the coming year.

I bought iTunes music on two separate iTunes accounts. How do I merge them into the SAME library?

I just got a new computer, so I am setting up my iTunes. The problem is, I have purchased music from iTunes on two separate accounts. I remember there was a reason why I created the second account several years ago, but I can't remember what the reason was.
Anyway, I would like to merge these two accounts into ONE library. I know on the old iTunes I just signed in to one account, it automatically loaded my music into the library, I signed out of that account, signed into the OTHER account, and then it automatically loaded the music from THAT account into the library, so I had both. However, it doesn't seem as if you can do this on the new iTunes.
Is there any way I can merge the two accounts or am I screwed?

Where is all of the music now?
Just copy it all to the same computer.

Songs I imported from cds are no longer in my iTunes account. How can I get them back without having to reload them on?

There are 158 songs that were once in my iTunes that are now missing. I put all of them on from cds. The only songs that are left are ones that i have purchased. When i pulg my ipod into my computer to add recent songs that i have bought it tells me that i need to erase and sync my ipod with my itunes library or cancel. Well i dont want to erase my ipod and sync it with my itunes because that is 158 less songs that would be on there. On the apple website it said that songs from cds are in the itunes media folder but when i went there it is still just my purchased songs. I dont know what to do except reload all of them back on there but i really dont want to since im not the one who took them off!! Im not entirely sure when the songs went away but i recently updated to itunes 10.4 (i think its .4) and im not sure if that is why they are gone. Thank you in advance to any help!!
