My wife and I share an itunes account
My wife and I share an itunes account, so when I purchase music on my phone it should go to her phone and
also to her macbook .... how do I set this up to happen?
On the computer: Click the iTunes menu (by the apple) >> Preferences >> Store. Check off the items you want in the Automatic Download section.
On the iOS device: Settings >> iTunes and App Stores. Turn on the items you want under Automatic Downloads.

My wife and I share one itunes account with separate libraries. When I sync her iphone in her library, it adds all of my iphone contacts to her contact list. How can we avoid this?
Make groups of contacts in your Address Book and select the option to sync only selected groups to each phone.

My wife and I share an iTunes account. Is there any way to set up a seperate one for her to sync her phone contacts, iCloud and music to without having to purchase all her music again and then share going forward?
It would be so much easier having seperate accounts but we have hundreds of her purchased songs on my account and she would need to be able to access these from her account. Possible?
Also, if we bought a song in future we would want to be able to both have access to it.
Alternatively, what is the easy way to sync two distinctly different contact lists to one iTunes account?
Thank you in advance.FYI: iTunes account (used to make purchases) is not the same as iTunes library (iTunes on your computer with music, movies, etc.).

Will we have to create a seperate account for her, or can we all have the same one?
You can but you will not be able to limit what she syncs.
I would like to avoid 'checking' and 'unchecking' individual songs every time one of us tries to synch our ipods to the library.
I don't recommend using (only) the checkmarks to select what to sync.
Each of you can create your own playlists then sync only those playlists.
Then add/delete from your own playlists to change iPod content.
The only time I uncheck items is if I rarely/never want to sync them to anything, such as Christmas music or old audiobooks.
I suggest you each have your own computer login account. Then everyone has their own contacts, calendars, and everything else.
You and your husband can share an iTunes library and let your daughter have her own. -
How can my wife and I share our iTunes account?
My wife has an iTunes account as do I, but we are ideally trying to combine them so that we have a central iTunes library that we can both pull from. Is this possible? We are on Windows Vista platform outside of our apple products.

from this support article:
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to consolidate them into a single Apple ID?
At this time, Apple IDs cannot be consolidated.
so that we have a central iTunes library that we can both pull from
a single iTunes can be authorized for up to 5 iTunes store accounts !

My wife and I have been sharing an iTunes accound and library on our own iPods then iPhones for years without much trouble. Now, Mai ly because of the cloud and a new desktop, I think it's time to create her own account but I don't want to have to repurchase all her music and apps. Is this poosible?
Thanks!Yes, with the credentials of the account that the media/content was purchased with.
Content is permanently tied to the account it is purchased with and cannot be merged, moved, or transferred to another account. -
WWant to move want to copy music from one iTunes account to another.
Hello, Sharbs17.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you want to transfer previously purchased music to a new Apple ID. At this time all purchases made with that Apple ID will not be able to be transferred to the new Apple ID. However, we have a new option to share music with other Apple IDs called Family Sharing. Here is some more information regarding this feature.

Please help me separate these two emails. She was new to computers so, a couple of years ago I just set he up under my itunes account using her own email address. I can't seem to find a way to delete her from my itunes account and then set her up with her own itunes account. Every time I try It says that email already has an itunes account. Help!
Your iTunes Store account has nothing to do with you each recieving the other's text messages on your iOS devices. What you need to do is seperate your iCloud accounts.
You should post your question to the iCloud on my iOS device forum. -
If my wife and I share an iTunes account, will we be able to keep independent app data?
For example, if we both install a To Do List app, will we both be able to keep our own lists?
Is the data tied to the app backed up in our independent iCloud accounts and/or iTunes backups on our separate Macs?Yes, with the credentials of the account that the media/content was purchased with.

My wife and I have different iTune accounts. How do we share purchaed content between our ipads and iphones?

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 husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?
A couple of different approached:
Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however. -
My husband and I share the itunes account. I just got an iMac. Everytime I send a message from my iMac, it appears to come from my husband's account phone number. Is there any way to fix this? Also, when I open iMessages, all the texts are from his phone (his text conversations).
Thank you so much for your help!
MyrnaTry This:
Open up the imessage app on your Imac. Once you have it opened go to top left corner of your screen next to the apple picture and the word MESSAGES appears. Click on it then click on preferences and uncheck your husbands phone and number and or any other numbers which are checked. I had same problem this fixed it. Also if you wanted to you can open up your own Apple account, but that's not really necessary. My wife and I both share the same as you do -
we have 5 devices on one itunes account how do I give them each their own icloud account and still share the itunes account?
You need a unique AppleID for each iCloud account. So grab some free gmail, hotmail, aol, yahoo or whatever email addresses to make five new AppleIDs. Now, everybody make an iCloud account for themselves, and keep the existing shared AppleID and password just for use in the iTunes and App Stores. You can also each use your own unique AppleIDs to make iMessage accounts and keep those separate as well.
