Need different iTunes acct on my ipad2

I have two itune accts. Whenever I purchase an app on ipad2 the wrong acct appears with no choice to change it. When connected to my iMac it states I only have 3 computerized authorized (if that makes any difference), which I don't think includes my iPad 2 as it would be number 4. How can I choose the acct my apps are purchased in?

Somehow years ago I created an iTunes acct and forgot about it. Then when I began using iTunes later i created a new acct forgetting I already had one. Upon talking with apple support, they tell me if I delete one of the accts I will lose any apps I paid for using that acct. I have used both accts as I only recently realized I have two accts.

  • Is there a way to get a second free trial of an app on my iPad with a different iTunes acct

    Is there a way to get a second free trial of an app on my Ipad with a different Itunes acct and password?

    You will be logging out of your current ID to do this, so you will lose all of your apps and things for your other Apple ID, until you switch back.
    This seems like hard work to save a couple of dollars.

  • Can I download two different itunes accts on the same computer

    Can I downloan two different Itunes accounts on the same computer under different users???  I have 3 Iphones and they don't want to share an itunes acct.

    Yes. Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down as needed, or use separate Windows user accounts on the computer.

  • Do I need 2 iTunes accts for 2 iPods?

    I have 2 iPods, one for me and one for my son. Do I need 2 itunes accounts?

    *How to use multiple iPods with one computer*
    The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
    e.g.
    "Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
    "Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
    Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
    etc.
    I currently manage our family's five iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

  • I want to use my old iTunes acct  with my new iPhone. It is coming up with a different iTunes acct  how can I get the correct account.?

    How do I get my old iTunes acct. on my new iPhone 5?  I am getting someone else's account coming up associated with my new iCloud account.  It is because I temporarily used a friend's old iPhone while waiting for my new phone to arrive.  What do I do to fix this?

    Here is a link to email them.

  • Do we need separate itunes accts?

    Do we need separate itunes accounts ?
    My wife and I share an iTunes account amongst my iphone, and her iphone and ipad.   Since we added her iphone, all devices receive Txt Msgs intended for her, and when others FaceTime me, her iphone and ipad ring.
    Do we need separate itunes accounts ?

    You can continue to share a common Apple ID for purchases in iTunes, but many use separate Apple ID for iCloud to prevent this. You can still use the same on if you want. We have 4 devices, 3 phones and an iPad mini that share an Apple ID for iCloud. You just go into the settings area for iMessage and FaceTime for the devices and set the Send and Receive. For the phones, just set the actual phone number for the device, and for the iPad you can set the email address. The alternative is to set up new Apple IDs for iCloud for each device.

  • More than 1 ipod, need seperate itune acct

    can someone help me out, I need to find a way to open a seperate itune acct

    No need. Each iPod is recognized by iTunes and has its own preferences. Create the playlists you want to use for iPod #1, connect the iPod, in preferences click on sync selected playlists - and select the playlists you created. Disconnect that iPod. Create some new playlists and repeat the process for iPod #2.
    You may want to include a special character in the Playlist names to differentiate between iPod #1 playlists and iPod #2 playlists. Prior to iTunes 5, I put • or ? at the beginning of my playlist names to keep them organized. Now I have a folder for each iPod and I put the characters at the end of the playlist names.

  • My daughter has her own itunes account under her email/my credit card info for ipod touch; I now have iphone 4, with different itunes acct, but I want to put songs from her acct. onto my phone; how do I do this?

    Things are even more confusing, because shortly after getting my iphone 4, I tried to update it to the newest version and the phone crashed; my husband reformatted the phone to factory settings, and in the process set up my phone with my daughter's email address.  Now I can't seem to get it switched back to my own email address/account for the purpose of my itunes account.  Am I missing something?  I am NOT technologically adept.

    Go to settings, store, click on apple ID, sign out and sign back in with your ID.  You can put her music into your account.  That is illegal.

  • Share Music with Spouse on her iPhone, using different iTune Acct

    Is it possible to share music that I have purchased, and in my itunes with my wife on her device without using iTunes Match?  She has her own iTunes account.  I have tried to sign in to my account on her computer.  Does my music have to be in the cloud to share with her?  HOW???

    Well, that is your call. My husband and I both have separate Macs, but our shared music library is on his Mac, and (with the exception of our Photos), everything that I sync to is on his Mac.
    You can copy her music to your computer, and set up her sync to only sync with Music on your computer, and then set up her computer to sync all of her other stuff. If you wanted to do that, you would just copy all of her music to the library on your computer, and when her device is hooked up to your computer, you would only have the "Sync Muisc" tab turned on for her.
    You then go in and create playlists with whatever songs you want in them (you can create as many or as few playlists as you want), and then on her Music tab (on your computer), you would check which Playlists you want to sync to her device.
    As for her other stuff, you would make sure that all of the other tabs on your computer for her device were not checked, so they did not attempt to sync. On her computer, you would make sure everything except the Music tab was checked.....
    Here's a quick tutorial on how to create playlists:

  • Says I am synched to a different iTunes acct but I only have same one for over a year?

    I am trying to backup music from my phone to my iTunes account but it says my iPhone is currently synched to another iTunes account. I got this phone brand new in end of February and only have one apple iTunes account. Have always used same computer. I have over 600 songs on phone and only 8 songs show up in my music library. How do I identify what account my phone is currently synched to cuz when I sign in, it shows my correct id? It isn't making an sense!

    I'll echo what roaminggnome said. Since you wiped your machine, this is a new installation of iTunes and a new library. I'm assuming based on what you're saying that when you "completely restored" your computer, all you did was format the drive, reinstall Windows and all your applications. You did not actually "restore" anything, like your iTunes library. If you had, the music and other media would be in iTunes already and all you would have to do would be re-sync it to the phone (still a new library, but at least it would all be there).
    Hopefully, you did backup your data, including iTunes BEFORE you wiped out the machine. Not doing so is like putting all your cash in a shoebox, dumping lighter fluid on it, tossing in a match, then going and getting another shoebox and complaining because your money isn't in it.
    There are some 3rd party utilities that may be able to help extract the media from your phone. None are sanctioned by Apple. Google is your friend.

  • We have 6 ipods and 1 iphone in our house. We have different itunes accounts. We use one computer. How can we share each others music? I moved everybodies itunes media folder to the public folder but when I open itunes I only see that accounts music.

    We have 6 ipods and 1 iphone in our house. We have different itunes accounts. We use one computer. How can we share each others music? I moved everybodies itunes media folder to the public music folder but when I open itunes I only see that accounts music. We need different itunes accounts. We share 1 computer but we have different user accounts on the computer.

    Adding media directly to the media folder does not make it appear in the library.  iTunes doesn't really 'look' at that folder except to go to specific files when you call upon them from a library. You have to drag new content to each user's library, that is assuming each user has their own library.

  • Is there a way to upload songs from my iTunes to another iPod that is connected with a different iTunes account without any songs being deleted?

    My father has thousands of tracks in ipod nano uploaded from his desktop computer itunes, but he wants several tracks from my macbook pro laptop itunes.  Is there a way to get my tracks into his nano without deleting the thousands of tracks.  It seems ridiculous to delete all the tracks just to get a few more.  By the way, he does not have a desktop computer anymore, and the only way to get tracks is from my laptop.  Also some of the tracks in his nano, he does not own the CDs anymore that is why he does not want to automatically delete his thousands of tracks in his nano.  When he had his desktop, he had his own itunes account, and i have my own itunes tracks.  We want to share music although we have our own account. Please help. Thank you Apple.

    No. If you have different iPod using a different iTunes acct. you have no choice but to delete the songs and upload your. itunes won't let you transfer songs from different iTunes acct.

  • Two different apple IDs/two different iClouds - help! I had a Yahoo e-mail when I bought my iPod and registered it/set up my iTunes acct with it. Gmail acct w/ my iPad due to virus, now 2 apple ids and 2 iclouds, can I merge them somehow?

    When I set up my iPod I had a Yahoo email account, and I set up my iTunes acct. with it. It got hacked, viral, and I closed it. When I got my iPad2, I had a gmail account, and set it up w/ that email account. As a result, I was given a different apple id - stupid of me. This also resulted in me getting a different iCloud. When I got my iPhone, I used my iPod account (linked to a newly set up Yahoo account), because I wanted all of my iTunes song on my phone. So now I have two apple ID's and two iClouds, and my phone and my iPad are on separate iClouds. I hate it, and I don't know if I can somehow merge the two. I want to buy additional iCloud storage, but only if I can do so on ONE account that is for both devices. Does anyone know if/how I can accomplish this?  Thanks so much.
