Our family used to operate under one itunes account. We now need to have our own. How do we keep our own downloads for the new accounts? We have realized now that we are all in the icloud world we have each others downloads on our devices.

I have an iPhone under my parents account. Now that I have my own, I would like to change the Apple id on the phone to my own (new) account. If I do so, will I lose all of my apps, music, contacts, etc?

I have multiple computers set up on homesharing under one itunes account. Can I use face time on all of them or do i need seperate accounts for each?

I'd suggest you consider a cloud-based file sharing service such as Dropbox for this sort of use. iOS is not designed to be synched with more than one iTunes library at a time, so attempting to use it as you describe, connecting a single iPad to multiple computers, almost certainly won't work as you intend and is likely to cause nothing but headaches.

TS1646 We have several apple devices in our family who use my debit card for itune charges. I need to find out which device (itune account) these charges are coming from. Can you help?

You can't tell which device a purhcase was made on, but if your family members each have their own iTunes account to which your card is linked then you can check the purchase history on each of those accounts via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes - that should have 'purchase history' section with a 'see all' link to the right of it

I got a new ipod touch and when I went to text it used my Dad's number. I want to use our family's itunes account (for music etc) but have my own id/number for texting. What do I do?

My wife and I own an iMac (April 2011) and just recently got iPhones. We share one iTunes account (mainly for our uploaded music from CD). Do we each need to have our own iTunes account? What about iCloud? We want to utilize the same Calendar/Contacts

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

I have one imac. my wife and i each have our own user accounts and itunes library. How do we share selected music between user accounts?

To give other users read-only access to your library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.

Can one computer be used by more than one itunes account holders

Can one computer be used by more than one itunes account holders or can we no longer share a home computer to access our clouds?

Hi Zhang Bin
You can create one order from multiple notification, but you cannot create multiple order from one notification.
Exmaple- You can select all notification in IW28, and create one order. All these notification will appear in object list of order.

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. any soln ?

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing wireless network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. I am using a set of speakers from kenwood connected to the airport express. The operating system on my macbook is mac os X 10.5.8. i am sure it is not a problem of streaming music online because i have even tried playing music which are stored in my macbook.
Is there any problem with the setting in itunes or quicktime ? Kindly reply...... I am waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Thank you a lot in advance.

I am shocked to have found this same AX audio dropout problem starting TODAY, every few seconds the audio just drops for a couple seconds and then resumes: Latest software versions of everything. No iPad, iPhone or Touch. Internet hardwired to D-Link DES1105 (1000baseT Switch) hardwired to new 80211N AX, AX optical to stereo, AX Wi-Fi internet to basic 1st-gen MacBook operating at 80211G, and an older 'G' AX extender at the far end of the house, away from all this. The MacBook streaming iTunes is usually 12 feet from AX. I've used this setup for years of trouble-free AirTunes / Airplay until today. Today I also found 2 very reliable fixes and 1 way to force a dropout, but first, I read some posts and tried ALL following settings one-at-a-time and restored them ALL because NONE of them helped: Turned off IPV6. Streamed to multiple speakers 'Computer' and 'AX' (restored to just AX). Turned off 'Ask to Join new (WiFi) Networks'. Turned off Bluetooth (can't live without Magic Trackpad, so glad that wasn't it). Here's my discoveries: Lo and behold, each time I click the Airport icon in the Menu (you know it shows you've got 4 bars from AX) when the status switches to 'Looking for Networks' for a second it CAUSES the AX audio to drop out for a couple seconds (it never did that before today.) iTunes still playing, streaming, AX laser still lit, but the 'PCM' light on stereo and the sound GOES OUT EVERY time I click the Airport icon in the menubar, just like the regular, annoying dropouts. So, to reduce traffic I quit Safari (3 tabs, no streaming, just Gmail, Google, and Netflix browsing). Lo and behold, the dropouts stopped altogether. No other Web apps going (not iTunes Store, Genius, Ping, nothing), so I launched Chrome to the same 3 tabs and the dropouts HAVE NOT RETURNED. That's right, not only did simply QUITTING SAFARI cure it, and Chrome doesn't contribute to it, but I can demonstrate it just by forcing my Airport to re-scan. Works for me, written using Chrome. The other reliable fix is to hardwire MacBook to the Switch. This is obviously not ideal, but Airplay audio doesn't drop out over Ethernet. Also, in all my tests, it made no difference whether iTunes did the streaming, or Airfoil did.

I just finished downloading and attempting the install of ios 7 on my iPhone 5. I'm using the newest version of iTunes. And now, I'm stuck at the screen with the iTunes logo and the plug. But no matter what recovery mode wont work

I just finished downloading and attempting the install of ios 7 on my iPhone 5. I'm using the newest version of iTunes.
And now, I'm stuck at the screen with the iTunes logo and the plug. But no matter how many times I try, recovery mode will not work. My phone is currently useless unless I can figure this out.

No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

What is being done about users inability to use their Apple ID at iTunes Store. I do not have another Apple ID, I do not want to change my password and I want my phone to work as it should.

You can try signing out and signing back in. You can also go into Settings > Safari and Clear all Cookies. You can even try logging into the iTunes Store on a computer and downloading a free app or something.
If none of those work, then you will have to wait for the issue to be resolved on Apple's end.

HT2731 We have 3 people in our household and one main computer, is it possible to have 3 seperate accounts on the same computer? It seems everything reverts back to my Apple account?

We have 3 people in our household and one main computer, is it possible to have 3 seperate accounts on one computer?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You would need to create 3 user accounts on the computer.

I have an Apple ID, and shared purchases with my 3 kids devices. Now they want to have their "own accounts" so when they get iTunes gift cards, they can pay for their own things. Can we share these purchases? My household is as follows:

I have Mac Mini with Lion Server running 10.8.2 and an iPhone 4.
Wife has iPad 2 and iPhone 4s. (We share Apps)
Each kid (12 and under) has iPod Touch 4th Gen.
So far all purchases made under my Apple ID/iTunes ID.
Is there a way to let the kids have their own account- they get giftcards.... but if I buy an App they can still share it?
so if Child 1 buys an App, or song, can we all enjoy it, but it's purchased from his 'own' account?

@survivethestorm.
Firstly thanks for the blog, I think it has saved me time contacting customer support? I too am going thru the introduction of several kids devices, along with my wifes, onto the one iTunes account and on one PC computer (currently we have 3 x iPhones, 2 x iPod touches, 2 older iPods and soon to have iPad). Syncing all devices hasn't been a problem to date as far as music, apps etc but I too have discovered the texting problem you described above, with my sent texts showing on the kids devices, and vice-versa, much to my horror! It appears this is now only becoming a problem with the later iOS software and/or devices?
It appears as you have described above, customer support has indicated by creating a separate Apple Account for each person, this fixes the texting problem? Have there been any issues then with syncing apps, music etc after creating the accounts? I currently dont use iCloud, I simply sync each device on connection via usb to the computer, and choose what is being synced to each device. I like to control (at this point anyway) what is actually going on to the kids devices. Do you know if there is a limit as to how many 'Apple Accounts' can share the one iTunes Library? I realise the number of devices is unlimited to the one account, but just wondered if the number of Apple Accounts changes things?
Once an Apple Account has been created for each person, do you then have to share your iTunes Library (Apps, Music etc) or does it do it automatically do so when they log in?
Also I presume you don't need credit card details for the Apple Account? It was a long time ago I set my original one up.
Sorry for the 'long winded' reply, just very confused and want to make sure I am doing the right thing.
Many thanks.

Our family used to operate under one itunes account. We now need to have our own accounts.
