OK My mother at 92 has just mastered the iPad - I've set up an itunes account for her and want one simple thing explaining. She has a non iphone mobile and imessage on ipad so she can easily see it and use it HELP

Anyone who can expalin me how i can connect her non iphone (it lights up as she is very deaf like a chritmas tree so no i cant give he an iphone before anyone suggests) so i can get here to text via imessage on the ipad please.

I was hoping some tech wiz would have found an answer for you. The app below vibrates and flashes. Is that the kind of thing you're looking for? I'm not sure, because I am thinking you want your Mom's phone to somehow connect with ipad.
If you read the link I previously posted, please read the comments also. Maybe a suggestion in one of those would help.

$2.99Tap Tapby David Vondracek
One of the dangers of hearing loss is the inability to hear audible alerts or warnings. Tap Tap is a brilliant app that allows those with hearing loss to react to sounds. When it detects noise, the app will vibrate and flash to alert the user. If the door knocks, or someone is speaking or shouting, the user will know. If the smoke alarm goes off, Tap Tap will vibrate and flash. The sensitivity can be adjusted and the app can run in the background if desired, though this may use more battery power. This is a must-have app for anyone with significant hearing loss.

How do I set up an iTunes account for my wife on one MacBook pro, so she can sync her new iPhone?

How do I switch my iTunes account with my wife's iTunes account on a MacBook pro so she can sync her new iPhone with her stuff?

I got my daughter an ipod for Christmas from a friend (she's 8) and they had put a bunch of music on it that she liked, so we kept it, and I set up an itunes account for her, and set the restrictions, but have lost all of her music

So the music they had put on is all that's gone. I had synced everything, and even backed it up, but didn't know that I would have to save it to my computer separately. I actually thought it was on it, before now.
Is there any way to get her music back, without having to repurchase what someone else gave her?

Okay, but this is nothing new. Purchased content has ALWAYS been permanently tied to the AppleID account used to buy it. It has never been transferable between accounts, or playable on computers not authorized for that account.
It has nothing to do with how you sync or save your OWN music. You cannot authorize your computer for music bought with an AppleID that you do not control.

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

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?

iTunes will need to be set up on your computer however you can set up a new Apple ID to use for your iPhone. Really all you need to do is Assign a new Apple ID to your iCloud account.
Follow the link to create a new Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
After you do that, on the device you want to assign a new iCloud account go: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and then sign in with the new Apple ID.
NOTE: This does not effect iTunes, all of your devices can continue to use one shared iTunes account under your original Apple ID for downloading apps and backups. This simply gives iCloud a place to sync the individual devices information and will stop iCloud form merging all the information, such as contacts, with all of your devices.

How do I get music and games which I purchased for my daughter through my iTunes account onto her iPad mini but at the same time set up a separate iTunes account for her iPad?

My daughter used to use my old iPod and all the music and games that she wanted went through my e-mail/iTunes account. She has moved onto an iPad mini but this is still in my account. I want to set up an e-mail and iTunes account for her so that my iPhone doesnt get jammed up with all her stuff. If I do this I think that all the stuff which I've bought will be lost to her. How can I get round this?

Apple devices can hold protected content from up to five different accounts, however updating apps purchased over more than one account (as far as I'm aware) requires signing in and out of each account. You may be better off continuing to use one account for your family, as I do, but disabling the options on each device for the automatic download of purchases made on the account, and in iTunes, the automatic inclusion of new apps when syncing from the library to the device.

Can i set up an itunes account for my friend living in another country?

I would like to set up an itunes account for my friend living aboard and I'm happy to use my own credit card details to buy the music and use my own email address. Is this possible? It's for a birthday present so I wanted to just send her the login details to the account and hey-presto she has lots of cool new music. I've looked up itunes cloud / match etc but have no idea if this is possible to do. Please help and thanks in advance

FYI, you've posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question really isn't related to.
But, the answer to your question is no. To set up an account in a regional iTunes Store the person must have a credit card drawn on a local bank and an address in the local country to create the account. The Terms of Service of the stores also prevent someone from living in one country and using another store.

Quote: "You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details." See also Apple ID & iCloud FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
You can set up your iCloud account on your iOS device under: "Settings > iCloud" and a other account for store purchases under "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Unfortunately merging accounts is not possible but you could transfer all of your music manually via iTunes from your Mac or PC.

HT204266 Can I set up different iTunes accounts for family members?

How to set up an iTunes account for my new ipad?

If you already have an iTunes account, simply use that. You do not need a new account.
Open the iTunes app on the iPad. Go to the bottom of the screen and tap Sign in.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If your son is under 13, then you will need to set up an account for yourself and allow him to use it.

HT1311 I am a teacher and I use my ipad in my classroom. I have my own personal itunes account. My school has set up an itunes account for teachers to download shows for school. Can i download from the achool account onto my ipad without losing my stuff?

I am a teacher and use my personal ipad to teach in my class. My school has set up a separate itunes account for teachers to download shows for use in class. How do i download from a different itunes account than i use personally?

You sign out of your ID in Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID, then sign onto the school ID in order to use it. You know your situation better than I do, but when you switch ID's on the iPad and go back and forth in order to download purchases, you run the risk of locking yourself out of one of the ID's for 90 days.

My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account, but would like to have separate apps on our phones. How can I set up a separate account for her?

My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account for both our iPhones, but she wants separate apps from mine. How can I set up a second account in her name, delete the apps on her phone and start from scratch with just the apps she wants on her phone?

If you have the old phone, connect it to iTunes, right click on the device, and choose transfer purchases. If you no longer have the old phone, I don't believe there is a way to recover them, as they were on your original device.

I have just bought a mini ipad for my daughter set it up in my apple id so she could keep all her apps games etc, how do i set up a seperate account for her ipad and also keep my own id @

I have just bought a mini ipad for my daughter and used my apple id to set it up for her so she can keep all her apps and downloads of my ipad that she was using, i was wondering how do i give her, her own apple id so that she can keep all her apps and then i can two seperate accounts ?

You cannot transfer the purchases to another account. What she has purchased with your account will always be tied to your ID. That's the way that it works. You can have her create her own Apple ID to use with Cloud account, FaceTime and Messages.
But if you create a new ID for her, she will have to flip flop between the two Apple ID's in order to update apps, and if she wants to make purchases with her own ID, you also have to consider the fact that she may run the risk of locking herself out of her own ID by downloading a past purchase using your ID, after she starts buying with her own ID.
