Separate iTunes Account

I need to remove my son's devices (iPhone & iPod) from our iTunes account and set him up with a new separate account. I need the existing account to remain for my use, and I don't want to lose his music and video library in the process. This only became a problem when I had the need to use iCloud for my devices (iTouch & iPad) and no matter how we setup his devices to not be on iCloud, we still have problems with his iPhone contacts syncing to my iPad. Suggestions are appreciated.

Simply create a new computer login on the computer for him.

HT1203 My gifriend and I have separate iTunes accounts, we would like to combine them into one, is this possible?

My girlfriend and I have separate iTunes accounts and would like to combine then so we can have all the same music and books on our iPads and iPhones. Is it possible to combine the two accounts or somehow sync hers to mine and just use one from now on?

If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.

How can I set up my Mac Pro so that my wife and I can use our separate iTunes accounts? I keep getting an error message that the computer is already associated with an Apple ID even though the two accounts are associated with separate log ins!

I'm getting very confused with setting up multiple user accounts on my Mac Pro for my wife and I. We each have a separate iTunes account, and we want to keep our music libraries seaprate. I've set up two user accounts on the Mac Pro and I have my iTunes authorised and logged into my user account on my user account. Under my wifes user account (i.e. a separate log in on the computer) I'm trying to set up her iTunes account, but I can't download or play anything from the cloud - it just says "This computer is already associated with another iTunes Account" and tells me that if I 'transfer' then I won't be able to use the other one for 90 days! This is really annoying as my wife can't access music she has purchased on her iTunes account on the home machine. We're not trying to do anything dodgy, just access our music on our own accounts on separate log ins on the same machine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

Two separate itunes accounts on the same computer

Ok I need help before I throw my computer and iphones.
I have two separate itunes accounts, and two separate iphones. I'm using the same computer.
I'm trying to sync my wife's iphone to her itunes account on my laptop, but it keeps wanting to load my apps to her phone.
Now I signed out of my itunes, and signed into her's.
How come itunes is pulling my apps up and wanting to sync them to her phone?
I authorized her phone to my laptop as well.
This doesn't make sense at all.
How can I just start from scratch and just have itunes backup what's on her phone, and thats it?

The issue is this is referring to music, I'm asking about applications.
If I setup a new user on my laptop, when I open itunes, isn't it going to just pull the same data in itunes already?
And if this is the way to fix it, I would need to have a separate user on my laptop for every device that isn't linked to my itunes account? (seems extreme)

Can I have two separate iTunes accounts on the same computer?

Can I have two separate iTunes accounts on the same computer? My wife's music is much different than mine. Can we have different iTunes libraries to work with on the same computer?

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

How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone? Can this be done?

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.

Two separate iTunes accounts on One PC running XP?

We have one family PC running Windows XP and two kids who want totally separate iTunes accounts. (I guess there's no common ground between Metal and R&B.) Can anyone help an old dad pretend he's a computer-literate genius in the eyes of his teens? Thank you in advance.

My husband has an iPhone. I have iPad. Can we have separate iTunes accounts on a PC?

My husband has iPhone and an iTunes account. I have iPad and also though I set up a separate iTunes account; however, my account never shows on our PC. Is it possible to have 2 separate iTunes accounts on one PC? Should we share an account? Thanks

Every iPod, iPhone, or iOS device synced with the same iTunes library on one computer has its own sync preferences with iTunes. I sync a business iPhone 5, a personal iPhone 5S, and a personal iPad with iTunes on the same computer and each device has different apps and music.

How do I divide thousands of songs currently in a single iTunes account into 2 separate iTunes accounts?

When my daughter was small, I set up a single iTunes account that we both could use. Now, years later, she has amassed thousands of songs and apps that I have no interest in. Is there a way to set up a separate iTunes account for her and move her music, videos, etc to that account and delete them from my existing iTunes account?

Some related discussion at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1965166?start=0&tstart=0 Note that this starts in year 2009 when much music required authorization to play. This no longer applies to new music or old music upgraded to iTunes Plus. It still applies to video.
I am no itunes account expert but I do not think it is possible to transfer file ownership between accounts.

Do you know what happens if you delete the icloud account from an iphone 4s? Will it delete the pictures, documents, etc. from the phone, or just unlink the icloud from the phone? I want to associate a different icloud account to the phone.

HT1660 How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device without erasing either set of data?

How can I maintain two separate itunes accounts on one single device (iPhone 4) without erasing either set of data when syncing with itunes?

Hi,
Depends on what you trying to setup but for purchases, you can roll down at the very end of the iTunes/AppStore pages to logout of your current account and then login into a different one. Then your purchase will be billded to this new account. Everything will sync as you used to but in order to use the purchased content in iTunes or other devices, you will need to authorize them (you can have up to 5 devices authorized for an account).
