Separating apps/music in iTunes for 2 different apple id's

I've had an iPhone for a few years and I recently got my daughter an iPod. She has her own email account for facetime/texting but I originally signed her in with my apple id.  She's been downloading free apps to her ipod and I've been entering my apple id password for her.  Now I want to keep our things separate...meaning I don't want her games or music and I don't need her to have my random apps. I just signed myself off her ipod and signed her in using her apple id, but when I plug each device into my pc, it shows all the same apps regardless of the device I plug in.
Is there a way to separate us???  Even if I have to delete all of the apps she downloaded from my id and start all over, I would do that, but I need to know how to make itunes recognize her as a separate user with separate music and apps going forward.
Hope that made sense, and if anybody can help, please be specific (as in step 1, do this, step 2, do that.....etc) !!  I see alot of short and sweet answers but I can't make sense of them!!! Many thanks!

I'm trying to follow the instructions for creating a separate iTunes Library but I'm making a big mess of it. I got through steps 1-6 just fine, but step 7 needs to be explained to me in greater detail.  Here's what I need to do....My daughter has some apps that she downloaded.  That is all I need to move to her library.  When I click on Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library, I'm a little confused on what to do next.  I tried copy and pasting from my original library to her new one, but now when I try to open iTunes while holding the shift button so I can select he new library and sync her iPod, it won't open.  Any input would be great!!!!  Thank you...

  • Okay so when I try to download apps on my phone a totally different Apple ID that I've never used before popped up. I've already tried settings under apps/iTunes and signed into my own apple account. But even doing so my apple Id won't show up

    Try this:
    Open the iTunes app, select the Music tab, then scroll all the way down to the bottom.  Here you can sign out of any current Apple ID and sign into a new one.  Good luck!
    And just in case there is another Apple ID linked to your account you can check at http://appleid.apple.com.

  • Can i share iTunes music between my kids with different apple id's?

    Can i share iTunes music between my kids with different apple id's?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes, even though they have their own IDs for the iTunes Store, if everyone uses the same ID for home sharing, you can share the content.

  • Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

    Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
    I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
    Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
    I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.
    Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?
    Thanks!

    What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
    To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

  • HT1420 When trying to buy gems (I have $50 credit) in "Clash of Clans" game I get: "Unable to Purchase.  This item is for an app that was purchased by a different Apple ID.  To buy this item with this Apple ID first purchase the app?  Which app?

    "Unable to Purchase.  This item is for an app that was purchased by a different Apple ID.  To buy this item with this Apple ID, you must first purchase the App."
    I redeemed the itunes voucher on the same Apple ID I want to buy the gems with? 
    What do I do from here.

    You will only be able to buy items in an app if you are signed into and use the same account that you originally bought that app with - is that the account that you are signed into ?

    I am trying to buy help on my candy crush game but I keep getting this pop-up? Unable to Purchase. This item for an app that was purchased by a different Apple ID. To buy this item with this Apple ID, you must first purchase the app. My daughter set up this game on my Iphone. I am on level 65 and don't wont to start over if I don't have to.
    Any suggestions?

    If it was indeed purchased with a different apple ID then there is no work around for what you want! You can try signing in with your daughter's apple ID and password and update the app and purchase whatever you want then log back in with your apple ID. This may work!

    How do I download iTunes for a different OS than the one I am on?  I have an iMac and can not get iTunes to download so I'm trying to do it via Windows.

    If there is a 'Get iTunes for Macintosh' link at the bottom of the iTunes download page, click it.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photosstream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
    To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
    If only one of you purchases content from iTunes (this includes Books and apps too) then I suggest you use that account for each of you for iTunes only.

  • I tried to transfer purchases from my iPod to a new computer, but for some of the songs it asks for a different Apple ID and password than mine. Ideas?

    You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
    Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
    An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
    If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma.

  • Share itunes on 2 different apple id

    i whant to know if its possible to share the same itunes stuff on 2 diff ipod,ipad or iphone ?
    i got 1 ipad and iphone
    and i whant my GF having is ipod touche is own Apple ID but having acces to my itunes stuff whitout paying twice sometime for the same apps, music or album

    Content purchased on one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID, so short answer is no you won't be able to do what you're asking. Although coming this spring iOS 8 will be available and Apple is creating a new feature called "Family Sharing" which will allow you to do this, so wait it out until then.

  • Can i use 2 ipad's on the same itunes account with different apple accounts?

    Both me and partner have an ipad 4. Though we only have one computer, can we use the same itunes but with different apple acount without any issues? We use some of the same apps, but my partner plays fx Baldus Gate and is worries that save files will be corrupted.

    Each iPad should be linked to its owner's personal, private and nonshared AppleID. In the Mac, each one should have a different login account so each has their own iTunes Library containing your iPad's details. When you use iTunes on the Mac, since each logs in with a different login and corresponding Home directory, iTunes picks up the correct AppleID.

  • HT1491 I have two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's.  How can I merge them into one?

    I ahve two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's.  How can I merge them into one account?

    Apple has no provisions for this. You cannot merge multiple Apple ID's into one ID. Content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

  • HT201269 I'm trying to set up my new iPhone using iCloud - I entered my apple ID and password and selected the backup to restore from but the next page asks me to enter a password for a DIFFERENT apple ID

    What different Apple ID? Yours? Your friends? Your dogs... ? I think we are going to need more information. You're probably best setting up the phone as a new phone and restoring from iCloud later on.
