Playing movies on two seperate iPhones with two seperate iTunes accounts
I have an iPhone 4 and 4S. We have two seperate iTunes accounts. I attempt to move movies to the iPhone 4 from account #1 and i get a message which says this device cannot play this content. My iPhone 4S will play content from both iTunes accounts #1 and #2. I must be missing something in the software. How do I activate two iTunes accounts on one device? My 4S has had apps from both accounts #1 and #2 on it before. The iPhone 4 does not have any apps from the account #1. Somehow one device is allowing content from 2 seperate iTunes accounts and the other is not.
Hello Schurly
Yes you can, you can have up to 5 computers authorized for playback on purchases. If you have not purchases, then there is nothing to worry about there as well.
iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC

Do you mean iTunes library?
iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer. -

Syncing an Iphone with a different iTunes account to my iTunes acct?
My son has an older model Iphone that I want to download my apps & music onto. The phone already has my ex-wife's iTunes account on it. When I hook up his phone to my laptop and try syncing it to my acct it always says "syncing" and at the top of my computer "backing up LP's iPhone" but nothing happens. Please advise.
The iphone will sync/access music with ONE computer at a time.
Move all of your music from your old computer to your new one first, then sync.
You can use your backup copy to move the music to the new computer. -
Can I use 2 iPhones with the same iTunes account? help...
At the moment I have an iPhone 3G but my wife doesn't. I have a Windows Vista machine at home that has all our music in iTunes and all the apps I have downloaded from the app store. We only have 1 login to our windows vista PC that we share, we don't have individual signons.
On Friday I will be upgrading to the 3Gs and my wife will also be getting one.
My question is can we sync both iPhones with the same PC using the same Windows login and the same iTunes account, i.e. share all music and apps with both iPhones?
ThanksA computer can sync a dozen iPods and/or iPhones (just saying).
However, You can't use more than one computer for that iPhone. -
2 iphones with the same itunes account...
Hi All
Just wondering if anyone has the answer i need! A friend of mine and his wife are using the same itunes account for both their iphones, this is causing issues now as the info on the phones are starting to merge with each other so is it possible to set up a new itunes account for the wifes phone without losing any data?
thanksYes - well, not iTunes, but new AppleIDs to use with other Apple services.
They can keep a common AppleID for iTunes and App store purchased content, but get and use their own different AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage. That way their iCloud email, iCloud backups, iCloud sync'd content, and iMessages will be separate.
To change iCloud accounts on a device, you have to go into the iCloud account settings, delete the account, then log back in with the new AppleID.
To change iMessage, go to the messages settings, select the appleID, log out, then log in with the new AppleID.
They can grab free gmail, hotmail, MS Live, AOL or whatever free email they wish if they need a new primary email to create a new AppleID.
iTunes and App store purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID used when purchasing, so they would not want to change that if they want to share purchased content. -
Can you sync your ipad & iphone to the same itunes account yet or?
its been over year now and the iPad 2 is out, its apparently evident that when something goes wrong no one response here with a solution, can you or can you not sync both a iPad and iPhone with the same iTunes account flawlessly yet, because i helped over 4 people to do this and every single method seems to be work arounds.
has anyone figured out how to sync both devices to the same itunes account with out work arounds after all your apps get scattered outside their folders?You have always been able to sync as many devices as you like to one account/library/computer.
Plug in one device, select what you want to sync, then sync.
Unplug that device.
Plug in the other device, select what you want to sync, then sync. -
I have two seperate itunes accounts on two seperate devices and i can not make an itunes purchase on either one. When signing into the account it ask for the answer to security questions. I have NEVER answered a security question for these accounts. Each time it is a different set of questions. This has only happend since the original devices have been replaced/upgraded. How do I fix this? There is money in each account and both have recieved itunes giftcards for christmas that they are unable to use!

I have a new ipad and have used the community to answer questions for myself. Your help has been great! I don't know how you got my sailsalot name from my Skype account but I signed in with you as "gags76" and got help with my new ipad. I discovered I used a different Apple id and password on my ipad from my computer (imac) and changed that. My e-mail is Could you email me if there is something I should do at my end. I have to use itunes to sync with my ipad so I have been going back and forth between the two. Should I sign in with my proper Apple id on my ipad?

My wife and I have iPhones. We share an iTunes account and we want to keep it that way. My iMessages began showing up on her iPhone and vise versa. I figured out to go to settings, messages and have only the send/receive checked for our individual phone numbers. When we do that however, we no longer can send iMessages to each other and it goes over SMS. I don't want that. I want to be able to send and receive iMessages with my wife without having to have a seperate iTunes account and without each other seeing each others iMessages to other iMessage users. How do I do this?
One of you needs to set up a separate Apple ID for iMessaging purposes only.

How do I go about sharing between them?
Make sure both computers are set up to share their library on the local network.
iTune>Preferences>Sharing>Share my library on my local network.
Then, using the computer that you want to have the media on for yourself, go to the other computer's library, it should appear under Shared on the left, select everything you want to import and click "Import".
When it's done you can delete it all from the other computer, then you can just sign out of iTunes.
If you didn't do so previously, you'll want to authorize the computer that now has all the media on it with the older iTunes account.
Store>Authorize this computer. -
I had my music on my itunes on my old computer (pc), and need to move it to my husband's computer. My husband and I both have iphones and want to keep using our seperate itunes accounts on one computer, as we both have our own media set up on our accounts. I had burned my music from the old computer onto discs and imported onto the new one...works in the library but I can't put them into playlists, which means I can't put the music on my iphone. As for using two seperate accounts on one computer, it was suggested to me to make another profile on windows (vista), and use the second account on that profile. I did that and have had such a frustrating time trying to get this to work. I don't know if I've done something wrong, but it's just headache after headache. Somehow my apps even ended up on my husband's account? Also, how can we share music between our profiles? It seems ridiculous that we should have to buy an album twice just because we have to different accounts. I would be willing to create a third joint account with my husband, but only if we can still have our own music, apps, etc, and can somehow transfer the music we have to this new account...if possible. Suggestions please???? I'm so close to pulling out my hair over this!!!
You'll need to copy the music currently on your iPod to your new PC and into iTunes first before you can sync it to the new iPod.

How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone (with separate info on each of course) ? Can this be done? A little step by step would be greatly appreciated; just short step by step though, I can follow fairly well.
Kindest Regards,
Phil T.You would each need to use your own user account on the Mac, you can do this at system preferences > users & groups.
