My wife and I have separate store accounts but the same music in the libraries. How can I separate them?
Music is duplicated in two separate accounts. How do we separate them?
Hi topper42,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
You have a couple of different options for syncing different devices on different accounts to one computer. One option is to create a completely separate computer user account to keep the accounts separate. Another option could be to create a second iTunes library in the same user account. Please use the following information to read over and use as a reference.

My husband and I share an iTunes account. We both just got iPads. How can we program them to have different phone numbers for FaceTime and messages
Use different email address (gmail?) just for FaceTime and Messages.

I Have two different accounts in my iPad; I need to Know how Can I Switch them ?
I Have two different accounts in my iPad; I need to Know how Can I Switch them ?
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign out of the account that you are currently using then tap sign in - and enter the information for the other account. You may want to restart the iPad before you sign into the other account.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. -
I Stupidly have one iCloud account but with two phones using it. How can I delete iCloud from my phone without deleting the account from my husbands phone. He needs the account on his but I dont want it on mine!
But does this delete the whole account from the cloud, or just from my device. I must make sure my husband doesn't loose all his business contacts which are in the iCloud device. Thanks.

Basic problem...my wife has her own iTunes account which she purchases music with, I have my own that i have been purchasing music with...however, married now as we have similar tastes in music and dont want to be duplicating albums etc.
Was wondering is it possible to merge the two accounts into one account? Or if not, that we carry on purchasing music but have one shared library. Is this possible, any help appreciated.
Thanks"Was wondering is it possible to merge the two accounts into one account? "
No.
Just put all of your music/apps/etc on one computer/library. Authorize the computer for both ids. -
We got a new computer and have logged in to Itunes, but where did my music go? How can we find it?
They will not magically appear on another computer.
Your music will only be where you put it.
Copy it from the old computer or your backup copy of the old computer.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
Hope all goes well. -
My wife and I have a family account at Verizon and are thinking of both getting the IPhone 4S. My question is can we both use all of the features of Icloud with one account at Verizon or do we need to have separate accounts?
If Mail in Mavericks is the same as earlier versions you can select accounts in the sidebar, so that you can either display the inboxes for individual accounts, or the contents of all the account inboxes. (If the accounts don't show click the disclosure triangle next to 'INBOX'). The layout may have changed since the version I have - Snow Leopard - but you should be able to do the same thing.

My wife and I have different iTune accounts. How do we share purchaed content between our ipads and iphones?
iTunes- How to share music between different user accounts on a single computer
You cannot merge two separate libraries across user accounts. Photos does not have the function of merging different Photos.library files. If you have Aperture then you can merge the two before migrating over to Photos. -
My daughter has been using my iTunes account to buy music and apps. I now want to set up a separate iTunes account for her, with a different login. How can we transfer the music and apps she has already bought to her new iTunes account?
Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?

My wife and I have been texting on our iPhones. All of the sudden all messages are being sent as text. We cannot seem to make the iMessage work. Any ideas?
Your question is almost too much a personal one, begging the question "do we (husband and wife) feel comfy sharing one account on the Mac" maybe thats why nobody answered you.
It doesnt complicate anything, but it adds steps for switching accounts on the Mac/ purchases etc. of course
since your question is mostly personal, ..I wont answer THAT part of it, but creating a new account is easy.....messing with switching back and forth is also a personal preference 'issue' as well. I prefer to keep things simple, but...........you and yours, I dont know.......

I own a iPod touch and I have an iTunes account but all i can download is podcasts no games or music.when I try to download games it says "request cannot be completed " could there be a problem with it ?
Please helpHonestly, these are WAGs but they're all that I can think of.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again. -
Ugh. How do I get iCloud on my iPhone? I have been using my iPhone for about a year and I have an iCloud account but it is useless since nothing syncs to nothing else. Obviously I don't know what I am doing.
Welcome to the Apple community.
Have you logged into your iCloud yet on your phone, in settings > iCloud. -
I buy a new iPhone s5 When I enter to iTunes Store The iTunes Store won't connect. I have a Apple ID But. I am from Algeria Plz how can iTunes Store connect
What have you tried to fix it ? If you haven't already done so then see if any of the following fix it :
- log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in
- close the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iTunes store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
- soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot. -
How do i change the country of my credit card, ie it was registered in the UK and I have moved to Australia, but it won't change the region to Australia for me to put my new details in. It says that it must be a UK card...
Go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They can clear the remaining balance for you so you can change countries. You may, however, wish to just create a new iTunes Store account in the Russian store. Otherwise you may lose the ability to update any apps you purchased in the US store.
Regards.
