Separate users on Ipod Ipad but same account

I currently have an IPad and an IPod but they are used by two separate people. I want them under one account to purchase, but I would like seperate user accounts and I do not want to share every purchase. How can I set that up.

You can use purchases from more than one account on a single device. Yo go to Settings>iTunes and App Store to Sign out and sign into another account.
Accounts can't be merged
There is not seperated sing in on an iPod like there is for a computer.
Note:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

    What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!

  • I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes using a designated email address.  However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email account. How can I transfer my ipod to the same account as the iphone

    I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes account using its own designated email address. However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email address. How can I delete this and transfer the ipod to the same account as the iphone 4. Thankyou

    iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID.  So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account.  Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

  • Can you have two iPods on the same account

    I have an Itouch and an old classic that I want to load different music on.  Can I have two ipods on the same account?  Thanks

    I have a iMac, MB Pro, iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad Mini, iPod 4th all on the same iTunes account. Is that what you mean?

  • Can you have 2 ipods on the same accounts with different play list?

    Can I have 2 ipods on the same accounts with different plalists?

    Sure.  Each iPod is identified in iTunes with its own name and you configure each one as you wish:

  • Setting up Lion FaceTime to connect to iPad on same account but in different places

    HI,
    This may seem like a dumb question....I am going away on Tuesday and am taking my iPad2 - we are very familiar with using Facetime on the iPad.  We just got Lion on the iMac and it now has FaceTime, but I have not set it up...I want to use FacTime on the iMac to chat to my family from the iPad while I am away.  Do I need to set up a different FaceTime account on the IMac so that I can connect to it from the iPad2? Or can I call from the iPad to the iMac using the same account...?  i.e. does it recognise that even though its the same account its 2 different devices in 2 different places....
    Hope that makes sense...?
    Thanks

    On his iPad, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with the other ID.   For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime. 
    If you need to change his iPad to a separate iCloud account go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from his iPad, not from iCloud.  Your iPad will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPad.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a separate Apple ID, turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, if you have any of each other's data in your iCloud accouts you'll have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account (such as deleting the your contacts from his account, and vice versa).

  • Two iPads on Same Account

    I was just gifted a new iPad Air.  I currently have an iPad 2.  While the Air is a newer unit, I'm not sure yet if it will meet my needs well.  The Air is wireless, while the iPad 2 is a Verizon 4G model.  I can use the Air with my iPhone hotspot enabled, but I want to play with it for a while to see how convenient it is before dropping my iPad 2.  Can I tie both models to my same account and have both units loaded with the same apps for a while until I figure out which one best suits my needs?  Are there problems with doing this?
    Thanks in advance!

    If you would ever want or need to restore the backup from the device running iOS 8 to the device running iOS 7, you cannot do that. You cannot restore a newer iOS backup to a device running an older iOS. It will work the other way around, though.
    IF you regret updating the iPad 2 to iOS 8.1.1, which by the way was the incremental update that was supposed to fix performance issues on the iPad 2, then I would advise against updating the iPad Air right now. See how the iPad 2 comes around and if you think you will be OK updating, give it a try then. Remeber that you can never downgrade, so once you make the move, you can't go back.
    Now. to answer the question about how running two different iPads using the same Apple ID but with different OS's, it will not affect anything other than the backup situation and the fact that if you download an iOS 8 only app, you will not be able to use that on the iOS 7 device.
    It is never a good idea to have two Apple ID's for purchases because purchases are always tied to the ID that was used t make the purchase, so stick with the one Apple ID/Account, and you will be fibe.

  • Two iPads on same account, I can't delete any apps from old ipad?

    I got a new iPad air and have a first gen iPad too.  They are both on the same account so when I install apps on the new iPad they automatically show up on the old iPad too.  This is actually a good thing because I can have paid apps on both iPads....  The problem is that some of the apps will not install on the old iPad.  If I tried to install them directly from the App Store it would not allow it and give me a msg that says I cannot run this app because of the older iOS.   But since it is mirroring the new iPad, I have about 15 grayed out icons that are waiting to install.  Worse yet, if I press and hold to try and delete them, I get the wiggling icons but no X on any of them... I can't delete the grayed out apps nor can I delete existing installed apps.  I have tried a hard reset with no luck.  The original PC that I used to manually sync the old iPad with is apart in the attic as we don't use it anymore.  Any ideas?

    you need to put your phone in recovery mode (search Google) and restore your device as new.  All your data will be lost.

  • Multiple ipods on under same account

    Is it possible to use multiple ipod systems under the same account? I have a nano that is currently synced with my itunes and I recently found my old mini that still works. I have thought I could download my kids' songs on the mini that way if something happens to it, I won't be upset.
    SG

    I currently sync my old iPod for Video 5G, my 1st Gen iPod Touch, my 3rd Gen iPod Touch, my iPhone 3G, and my new iPhone 4 all to the same library using the same account.
    I seem to recall that before it used to allow me to sync multiple devices at the same time, as long as I had open USB ports to plug them into. I have recently seen that now, if I have an iPod Touch or iPhone connected & syncing, the computer doesn't seem to see a second one if it is connected, but as soon as the first device is ejected, the second one is picked-up and synced just fine.

  • HT3819 How can I transfer songs from my ITunes account to my daughter's who has a different Apple ID but same account info?

    Purchases cannot be transferred between different Apple IDs.

  • Can I add second ipad to same account

    I just upgraded to the new ipad and would like to add to same account, allowing my 1st generation ipad not to be affected, as my family will continue to use current content. Is it possible to sync the two and add/delete content by device, or should I create a new account for the new device?

    I use two iPads and and iPodd Touch with one iTunes library and sync unique content to each device. You do not need to create a new iTunes library for the new iPad .... Assuming that you are using the same Apple ID on all of your devices.
    When you connect any of your devices to iTuness on your computer, iTunes knows which device is which by the serial number and can recognize the devices that way. You can set you sync preferences any way that you want for every device that you sync to your iTunes library.
    When your device is connected to your computer with iTunes running, click on the device name under the devices heading on the left. Then you can click on each tab in the iTunes window on the right ...apps, photos, music, books, etc....and select the content that you want to sync to that particular device.

  • 2 ipods are on same account ----want separate accounts but how?

    i own an ipod touch nano and its registered to me on a shared computer with my bf. i bought my bf a ipod touch and when he went to authorize his ipod account through itunes, my account information was used and his ipod is now registered to me. how do we fix this so he can have his own account on itunes and have his pod registered to him? is it possible? thanks for any help

    He can log out of your account at the bottom of his iPod touch's iTunes app and then login with his Apple ID. Also, you could create another User account on the computer and manage your music there.
