Purchased music from multiple itunes accounts on the same computer

I mistakenly opened up two itune accounts and have purchased music using both accounts. The problem is that itunes won't let me download my purchased music from one of the accounts to my ipod. It will download all of the music from account "a" but none from account "b". Help please.

Hey chawk32,
Just play the purchased content from account B in iTunes. That should make a authorization dialog box pop up. After authorizing the computer iTunes can transfer that data to the iPod.
You can also click store inside iTunes then authorize computer.

  • Multiple iTunes Accounts on the Same Computer

    iTunes states that you can have multiple iTunes accounts on the same computer. But when I attempt to put in a new user account (for my wife so she can have her own music library) my own iTunes account pops up when I go to load iTunes while in her user account. And if I create any account that is NOT an 'Admistrator' account iTunes refuses to install itself as the "user does not have the privileges - consult your Administrator". So I am lost as to what I need to do to create separate iTunes accounts where each person has their own iTunes library and thus their own music. Perplexed...

  • How do I share music from different itunes accounts in the same Mac, in different users account on that Mac with different iPhones?

    Hi
    My wife and I share the same Mac.
    She has her session and I have mine thus each of us has our iTunes session with our own music and settings.
    She has her iTunes account and I have mine too.
    And..;)...she has her Iphone and of course I also have mine.
    So, the big question:
    Both like music that the other has bought but we do not want to buy it twice! (through her account and mine).
    Is there a way to share music I purchase so she can have it in her iTunes session and therefore have it also on her iPhone when she syncs..and of course viceversa for me too?
    It goes without saying that although we like music the other one has, we do not like all of the music, so basically we want to have the possibility to share those special songs we like so we can have them both in our phones and individual Itunes sessions.
    Was that clear or I lost you???
    Any answer will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    First of all if you havent done it yet i think u shold authorize the mac on both accounts on itunes. You also can switch the accounts on your Iphones at itunes while you are in the internet adn download the music.
    This is just an idea you should think of. For sure there are other ways I dont know.

  • Can i share music between two iTunes accounts on the same computer

    I know you can share the library with 'home share', but can you copy the titles to the account sothey can be loaded on to an ipod / iphone?
    Or have i got to load any required music on to the computer a second time?

    This should help:
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    Note that when it says "publicly accessible location", it needs to be a place where everyone has read and write access. The most common such place is the Shared folder in the Users folder, but you can place the music elsewhere if you change the access permissions manually (don't start tinkering with permissions unless you're confident you know what you're doing and can reverse things if they get messed up).

  • Problems with multiple itunes accounts on the same computer

    Does anyone have issues with this? My husband and I have seperate iTunes accounts, and eventhough I am logged in under my username, his music is loading and mine is gone...
    Also, his iPad apps are syncing to my iTunes account - this happened just last night when I plugged my iPod in and was rearranging my playlists and his apps were syncing at the same time.

    Well, I usually think of an 'iTunes account' as being an account at the iTunes Store...  I take it you have different iTunes collections with separate library files for each of you.
    It sounds like you have different user accounts on the computer.  Figuring out what is going on will require us knowing a lot more about how you have your iTunes libraries set up.  Do you also have a shared area or do you keep totally separate accounts?  Are you positive you were't really in his account when this was happening?

  • Multiple iTunes libraries on the same computer?

    How do I get music from all three accounts on my computer? My iPhone says i can only have music from one library. How can I get my music from all three accounts on the same computer?

    I have the same questions - I am on a WIndows system.
    Are the multiple libraries in different Windows user accounts on the PC? If so, the following document should be of some help with taking music from one account and importing it into another:

  • Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

    Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer? My kids iPods are under my account now with all of our shared music but they want their own iTunes accounts. I would like to transfer the music and apps that they purchased under my account to their new accounts... Is this posible?

    Did you enable the display of system files and hidden files and folders?
    by the way, how can i stop this from happening another time.
    Make a backup!
    i had music there for over 6 years.
    Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.

  • Can I have multiple iTunes accounts for the same Ipod?

    Can I have multiple iTunes accounts for the same Ipod? What I mean is can I use multiple iTunes accounts through the same iPod for buying stuff?

    I believe you're limited to syncing DRM'd items from 5 different accounts.

  • Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer?

    Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer and if so how do you access them without syncing each others music?

    Yes. Use separate iTunes libraries(launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down as needed), or different user accounts on the computer.

    iTunes account= Used to make iTunes purchases.

  • How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    How can I have another Itunes account on the same computer for my wife?

    In case you didn't fully understand what dallon meant, it means another user account on your computer. You set that up in Windows and then instal iTunes onto that account.
    That way, you each have your own desktop and your own itunes. You can link to the songs in the other person's library as well, but you cannot run both iTunes at the same time. (That simply means you need to close it on the first account before opening it on the second account.)
