My own music and iCloud
I make music and put the tracks straight onto iTunes. Will they transfer to iCloud in the same way or will they not go on?
Thanks for any help in advance!
Turn iTunes Match off on the iPad if you want to sync music from your computer. Read this.

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID. -
Apple, you HAVE to get a little more customer friendly about the music we buy. We also have our own music and when we download it guess where it goes? into my Apple library. PS That's mine. To make our life difficult your protocols will not allow me to simply "move" my ENTIRE itunes library to my new computer. Why the heck not?? Explanation please. And not because there are other steps you created. Why do you not ALLOW it? Want me to repurchase or reload music I already put on there? Geeezzz.
PS the result.............I havent been able to buy nor am I now inclined to buy more music because....I cant. Good thing I put some good good playlists on my IPOD because it seems its now a portable CD.
Not Happy.Can't tell you exactly, as it can be used to facilitate piracy and Apple blocks this sort of thing from occuring (except for itunes purchased music)
But you can find out what your looking for at iLounge, i'd suggest that method for "mixed" music from different sources, that way you get it all back.
Next time, hit the iTunes menu and backup your library to disks, only takes a few minutes and a few DVD-R's.
Good Luck -
When I set up my iphone, I logged in to my own itunes and icloud but it recognized my phone as "Owner's phone" which is my husbands, so when I synched it, it was his apps, etc...help!!
I would do this:
1. on the phone in settings/general/about in the name tap there and give the phone a name that you can recognise.
2. open itunes on your computer and attach th ephone using a cable
3. Click on edit then preferences then on the devices tab in itunes on the computer and have a look what backups are there (assuming you backup to the computer nand not the cloud. Is the backup of your ol dphone there?
4. Log out of whatever apple ID you are are in when your click on itunes store in itunes on your computer and log in with your own ID
5. With your phone attached to the computer and itunes open select your phone in the left column and right click on it and click on restore. It should allow you to choose the backup that you wish to restore from. Choose the back up of your old phone and not your husband's phone
I assume you have your own ID and that you are not sharing IDs -
I want to give my old iPod touch to a friend. How do I get my Apple account ID off of it so he can use his own password and account?
Unless you want to go through the full routine of deleting the Apple ID and any personal information...and keep in mind, all content is owned by the Apple ID used to download it so nothing on there can be updated.
Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores > Apple ID and remove the ID.
Go to Settings > iCloud or any other place you will have links to your own account and remove the links.
Go to Settings > Mail, Calendars and Contacts and remove all account information.
Go to Settings > Messages and remove all account information
Go to Settings > WiFi and remove all account information.
And so on. -
Load my own music and Match music
Might be a daft question but can i load my own music onto my iPhien abnd still have Match in use?
i have some radio shows recorded i want to listen to. If i load them into iTunes and dont 'Match them', as its lots and they are long, can i then sync them into the iPhone without disturbuing the Match settings?Yes, absolutely you can load your own music (as long as you obtained it legally; for example, from CDs you own).
It sounds like you've signed up for iTunes Match. Assuming that's true, iTunes Match may replace your music with the same tunes from the iTunes library, which may improve the fidelity of the music.
In any event, as long as you place legally obtained music into your library, iTunes Match will handle it properly and you will not lose anything. -
Hello:
There is some music I bought in ITunes that does not appear in my ICloud account. I already checked my account history and these albums are recorded as a sale. Also as I bought these albums a year ago, I can not report a problem.
Thanks
VictorVictor...
Even though the albums are noted in purchased history, see if they are still available from the iTunes Store.
"Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore."

Sharing music and videos but not mobile apps btw 2 accts on same Mac
My wife and I each have accounts on our Mac. When we sync our iPhones, I want each of us to be able to sync our own music and video playlists (from a common repository) but *keep our iPhone apps separate*. We are kind of doing it now, but I'm not quite sure how (or why) it's working. I made a network share on a NAS box for our iTunes libraries and also a Shared library supposedly for Music.
Can anyone outline a definitive way of organizing the folders in the finder and through iTunes? No speculation please: it's too hard to go back.
Thanks in advanceHmm... this is a bit technical,
Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

My girlfriend and I both have iTunes account with our own music libraries and we want to combine our two libraries into one icloude accounts so can both then access our one shared libary at anytime in the cloud. How do we do this?
No it is not possible. Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

How can you use the same Apple ID for music and apps but have a different iCloud
Collectively in my family we have 1 iPhone 2 ipod(4th gen) and 3 iPad mini's and we like to buy music and apps through the same Apple ID so that we can all share it but we also have a problem about the iCloud.
My son has one iPod and one iPad and he would like his contacts and messages to be shared between HIS two devices but he would also like all of the pictures taken in the family to be shared
The same for my daughter and for me.
Is there a way of selecting which devices share what????
Thanks a lot
AcwillsYou could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc. -
Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time. As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts. How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?
Yes.
On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs. -
My dad and I shared an iTunes account for years and now I'm getting my own, how can I keep my music and apps? I'm worried that I won't have any ability to access my apps and music. We have our itunes separated on different computers, so I have all of my stuff separated from his, but I don't know how to put them in my new account.
Well... there really isn't any fully legal way to do this.
The simplest solution is to continue sharing the same iTunes purchasing acct, but create different ones for iCloud (assuming that's why you needed to do the split).
Slightly less kosher: Burn AUDIO CD's, of the music then copy them back to your new account.
BE sure to do this from original acount, To keep the music info, you'll copy over the CDDB file (in prefs somewhere) - since this maintains the data of CDs that you've had in library.... (it isn't carried over onto a user created CD.)

I have two macs at my house, and multiple iPhones. I want to keep the same apple id as everyone else, but i want to put my own music only on my iPhone. I want to do this with my laptop which is not the family's main iTune's computer.
If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:

Hi. My kids are all on my itunes account. As a result they also ge my text messages. I would like to set up their own accounts but be able to transfer the songs and apps they purchased. Can this be done?
You can still share an iTunes account for purchasing and downloading content. Just create a new Apple ID for iCloud to use for Messaging. If you try to create a new Apple ID for music and content, everything on their phone is tied to the Apple ID used for purchases, and would then require the password for that Apple ID to update. The way I described is easier.

I want to create a new account and transfer my photos and music to the new account. How can I do that?
Your talking about the famous AppleID divorce
There is no way to "move" music, apps, or photostreams between iCloud/AppleID accounts easily, but there are some ways to maybe salvage everything they want and get it to their individual devices. I'm going to assume that each has an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and that you all have one or more computers with iTunes (macs or PC's, shouldn't matter).
In any case, this isn't likely to be a quick fix for you, so clear a couple of hours in the evening and grab a beverage of your choice. Here are a few ways to manage the divorce:
Separate iCloud (ie, contacts, calendars, etc) accounts for each person, Shared iTunes Music/Apps:
This approach allows each person to have their own device backups, plus their own address books, calendars, etc, and it allows everyone to share the apps and music that has been and will be purchased. This will also mean each has their own photostreams as well. With calendars and photostreams, you can create "shared" versions of each so you and they can collectively contribute and modify the calendar, and can collectively contribute to a shared photostream.
The great benefit to this approach is that all of the music and apps that have been purchased will continue to be available on all of the devices.
The disadvantage is that with the shared iTunes account, everybody is sharing everybody else's gift cards and/or money that is in the account. Monitoring it is a manual process.
To setup this scenario:
Create a new iCloud account (ie, new AppleID's) for everyone, including yourself.
In the iCloud settings on each mobile device use the new iCloud account (ie, AppleID) for that person.
Use those same iCloud credentials for the iCloud settings in each person's account on the computer. (Note that if you do NOT use separate accounts for each person on the computer, this method will not work for synching the iCloud stuff, just the iTunes stuff. I highly recommend you create user accounts on the computer for each person).
On your mobile devices, in the iTunes and App Store settings continue to use the "original" AppleID under which all of the music and apps were purchased.
In iTunes for each user account on the computer, continue to use the "original" Apple ID, just like on the mobile devices.
For each person's photos that they wish to keep, make sure that they are currently in the mobile device's camera roll (just as Winston suggested).
Now the device's and computer user accounts are all setup. When the mobile device's are synched to user's (or the common) iTunes app, all of the music and apps will stay, and all of the photos that were previously in each user's camera roll will still be there.
Separate iTunes Accounts, Shared iCloud Account
This approach allows each person to have their own iTunes account for music and apps, but will keep all of the iCloud stuff (like contacts and calendars and photostreams) identical accross everybody's devices. This is particularly useful if the kids get their own gift cards and are not amenable to sharing with their family and you want to continue to have identical address books, calendars, and photostreams.
The main drawback to this approach is that it is possible that each individual will lose access to some music and all purchased apps. That will depend highly upon when the music was purchased. ie, was it purchased before or after Apple went to a digital rights management (DRM) free model for music. All purchased apps will technically be lost, but sometimes its still possible to "keep" those apps via iTunes and your device will continually and annoyingly ask you for the credentials (ie, the original AppleID) under which the app was purchased.
Another drawback is that the free iCloud storage account is likely to be enough to backup all of your devices (if you have more than 1). Therefore, you will likely have to purchase a larger iCloud storage plan.
To setup this scenario:
Create a new AppleID for each person for use in the iTunes Music/App store. Remember to keep your original AppleID that was used for all of the purchases to date.
On each mobile device, in the iTunes and App Store settings input the new AppleID for each user. On one of the devices (you'll have to figure out on which one it makes the most sense), continue to use the original AppleID.
In the iCloud settings for each device (and the computer accounts), continue to use the original AppleID.
Now you must setup new iTunes databases on the computer for each seperate user. The only way to do this is to have each user have a seperate account on the computer (again, mac or PC, doesn't matter).
In each user's iTunes app on the computer, input the iTunes store credentials that match his/her mobile device that you setup in step 2 above.
On the computer, move all of the music that each person cares about into his/her separate iTunes database (ie, import the music into iTunes by whatever method you choose). The exact method for this is dependent upon whether its windows or mac, but basically, find the actual music files on the hard drive, and then import each of them into iTunes for each user. You want each user to setup their "new" music database on the computer. This is what the mobile device will synch against.
Once complete, synch each mobile device with each user's respective iTunes app. You MUST use separate iTunes databases at this point.
If all of the music was purchased post-DRM (or is DRM-free for whatever reason), then this method will result in each user having all of the music that he/she wishes. However, if some of the music has DRM, then your success here will be a crapshoot.
Photostreams should all continue to be shared and collective since they are attached to the common iCloud account, not iTunes.
Separate iTunes Music/App Account, Separate iCloud
This is the ultimate in "every man for himself". The advantage is the each person has their own free iCloud features (including the all-important backup) and each has their own iTunes account.
The disadvantage is the same as "Common iCloud, Separate iTunes" approach: individuals may lose access to already purchased music and apps. The photostreams will also be broken apart, although you can setup shared photostreams for the future.
To setup this up:
Create new iCloud/AppleID accounts for each person (except for the original user).
In each person's mobile device, use their new AppleID for both iCloud and iTunes Music and App stores. One person keeps the original AppleID and continues to use it.
Follow the steps above for creating new music databases in each user's account on the computer.
Synch each user's mobile device with their respective iTunes database.
OK, that's what i have for you at this point. I'm happy to answer further questions on this and help you figure out how to do what you want to do.
Thanks
