Separating icloud and itunes passwords

Is there a way to have a different password on icloud and itunes.
I want my kids to be able to order items on apple tv and on their phones, but not be able to go on to icloud and read my messages or emails

It's not different passwords that you need, it's different Apple IDs.  (one ID cannot have multiple passwords)
Use one ID to connect to the itunes store.  Unfortunately, if you redefine the ID for itunes, that means all purchased items you bought using the original ID will not be available with the new itunes account (using the new ID) without rebuying it.
Use a different ID for icloud.  But again, if you delete the current icloud ID and use a new one, that will be a new account and won't have your current emails, etc.
The original mistake was using the same ID for both itunes and icloud.  One thing you could do is redefine the password used for your ID without letting the kids know what it is and do all the buying at iTunes yourself.
To change your password go to http://appleid.apple.com and click on 'Manage Your Apple ID'. Log in, and click 'Security & Password' in the list at left.

  • HT204053 Family shared Apple ID, Icloud and Itunes passwords & accounts confusing

    We started out sharring itunes when kids were smaller and now they are older and have their own iphone5.  How do you share itunes (with one password) with the family and all have their own icloud with individual icloud information without it all crossing.  The Apple store said it was possible.  Any ideas how to separate the passwords?  Every time I change mine it makes the Apple ID and my Icloud the same and the kids have their own Icloud email and passwords they just set up.  Trying to make Apple ID and Icloud separate passwords and family share itunes or even split itunes up somehow if we have to. 

    You can continue to share the same Apple ID for iTunes on all your devices; it does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.  If you change your iCloud account to a new ID you will be creating a new account, which will leave your current iCloud email address and photo stream behind.  Is that what you want to do?

  • I show and old defunct email address for my Apple ID on my APP store, iCloud, and iTune accounts and cannot log in.  I am told my ID or password is incorrect.  I did change my primary email address.  that is the app ID that is showing.

    How do I rename my App Store, iCloud, and iTunes accounts so i can update apps and software?  I have closed the original email address i started my App Store, icloud, and iTunes account and cannot log in unders that Apple ID.  I have tried going through device and my MacBook Air.  Where can i get on-line assistance?

    If you mean you are trying to delete your iCloud account in iOS 7 and you don't know the passwod for the old ID, do one of the following:
    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was.  You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so.  You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • Changed my apple password on my pc but my icloud and itunes on my ipad wont recognize it

    This morning my apple id was hacked with someone downloading a song or cd from itunes so I went onto my pc and changed my password
    then have just gone on to my mini ipad to change password on it and it wont accept the new apple password? to be quite honest I am ready to quit
    everything to do with apple as I had this problem when I tried to add a new email address on icloud and itunes on this ipad

    Since changing your password have you logged out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logged back in with the new password so as to 'refresh' the account on it ?

  • HT1349 my icloud and itune are not syn icloud is asking me for a different users name and password than itune i am lost and loosing info what can i do to syn itune and icloud .

    what can i do to syn my icloud and itune to one account?. In which i would only need one username and password.
    When i had setup icloud before i had to use a different email and password and now i can not retrieve nor update
    my account, it keeps telling me that my username and password is incorrect.

    Sign in with the correct user name and password for the iCloud account.
    This has nothing to do with them being "in sync".
    iCloud and iTunes accounts, which are simply Apple ID's, cannot be merged.  There is no way to merge Apple ID's.  If you chose to set up the device using one Apple ID for iTunes and another for iCloud, then that's the way it is.
    Alternatively, you could sign into iCloud with the same ID that is used for iTunes.  Whether this creates problems or not depends on how you currently have iCloud set up.

  • Using Touch ID for App store when you have seperate Apple IDs for iCloud and iTunes

    My wife and I each have a new iPhone 5S.  We share the same Apple ID for iTunes and the App Store.
    In addition, we each have our own unique Apple IDs for iCloud.  This enables us to use iMessage to text to each other.
    Can the iPhone 5S be setup to use the Touch ID for iTunes and App store purchases when there are separate iCloud and iTunes ID on the same phone?
    Currently, I can unlock my phone using the Touch ID, but the App store requests me to type the password to my wife's and my shared Apple ID whenever I wish to buy an app.  I am not given the option to use the Touch ID.
    I do have both the iPhone Unlock and iTunes & App Store set to "on" here: Settings > General > Touch ID & Passcode > Touch ID
    How can I use my current setup so I can approve App Store purchases with the Touch ID?

    This is the screen that pops up when I attempt to purchase an app.  It does not allow me to use my Touch ID.

    My wife had an iPad for a year and synced to our computer with no problem.  I recently received an ipad2 and when I tried to sync using separate apple and iTunes passwords, under her computer user name, it appears I over-road her account and synced all her apps with my apps on my iPad.  I then set myself up as a new user on our computer and tried to sync.  I now get the error that my iPad is synced to another library.  How can I start over without erasing all my data on the iPad?

    Go back to her login.  Unless you deliberately erased apps, they should all be there, both yours and hers!  Then, you need to set up each iPad separately.  You will notice that they have separate names for that very purpose.
    There is no problem with multiple Apple IDs on the same iTunes on the same computer except...  Apps are permanently associated with the ID that was originally used to obtain them.  If you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and you're logged into the "wrong" ID, you must log out and back in again.
    On the bright side, you can configure either or both iPads to sync with apps and music and movies, etc. from either or both IDs.  Further, if you choose to update the apps from the iPads themselves, there is no need to log out/in.  The device handles that.  All you need is the correct password.  In my case, I use the same password for both IDs to make things easier.

  • HT201363 I can sign in on a computer to iCloud and iTunes but not on iPhone 5

    I tried to update new iOS version but sign in failed 3 times with correct password. I had just installed an app about 4 hours prior. Tested loggin on from comouter to iCloud and iTunes and was successful, so same ID and password should work. Also reset password to fis this same issue about 4 days ago. How do I solve this problem?

    Hi pitbulllady
    I would suggest a) resetting the password on desktop https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ive-lost-my-firefox-sync-account-information#w_iaove-forgotten-my-sync-password-ae-how-do-i-reset-it_2 and then b) trying again on your Android phone or tablet
    If the above doesn't help and since we can't read minds :-) we need more troubleshooting details to help you:
    # What version of Android are you using (e.g. Jellybean 4.1-4.3, Kitkat 4.4, Lollipop 5.0, 5.1, etc)?
    # What version of Firefox for Android are you using? (please try the latest version which is currently FF37.0.1)
    # What did you do exactly, what happened and what did you expect? (details please! including the steps in the video you followed)
    Cheers!

  • I run Windows 7 and the newest version (10.6) of iTunes will not install. The installer won't even begin, and when I run the Apple Software update, it tells me that iCloud and iTunes have invalid signature.

    When I run the Apple Software update, it tells me that iCloud and iTunes have invalid signature and will not be downloaded. When I DL iTunes64setup.exe, the program will not start (there's a bar that flashes but nothing actually begins). I've done everything short of reinstalling Windows to fix this (system resore, unistalling all Apple products, taking down firewall, running Windows FixIt - which either won't find the problem or gives me an error saying that the troubleshooter cannot be downloaded at this time, going into the security features to allow programs without valid signatures, trying to install earlier versions of iTunes). It all started when I downloaded the Decemberists new album on my iPhone, and it wasn't downloading it properly so I connected it to my Dell, but some songs still wouldn't DL - also, the newest OS for my iPhone still won't install via WiFi - and so I uninstalled iTunes first, but nothing is helping. And I don't have any security issues (Norton has checked). Any ideas? I'm at my wit's end after 3 days of this. Thank you.

    Ok, so after like 4 days of going through all these different issues, I figured out that several programs weren't downloading, and it was an issue with my wireless connectivity messing up the digital signatures, so if you plug in your comp to the modem and delete your temp files, it should start to work!

  • How do I prevent files from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes?

    I have created the ios app using adobe AIR16 and flash cc. After submission of my aap into aapstore, I received a message from Apple with the following message –
    From Apple
    2.23 - Apps must follow the iOS Data Storage Guidelines or they will be rejected.
    By using xcode we can prevent files from being backed up to icloud and itunes, but i want to know that  what is the way to achieve this by using AIR. While creating an explicit app id from apple developer account , i am not enabling icloud support.

    Within AIR you can set the File.preventBackup property to true on a directory or file to prohibit that content from being backed up to the cloud:
    File - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
    This is all you need to call when you first create the folder or file to have it work with iOS backup guidelines.

  • HT204053 I have different icloud and iTunes id's and I want to do homesharing for all my devices. I'm trying to set up a new iMac but homesharing is not working. SHould it be the itunes or iCloud id?

    I have different icloud and iTunes id's and I want to do homesharing for all my devices. I'm trying to set up a new iMac but homesharing is not working. Should it be the itunes or iCloud id?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Preferably your iTunes account, but it shouldn't really matter for getting homesharing turned on, as long as it's a valid ID.

  • Is it possible to restore my iPhone from both iCloud AND iTunes?

    Hi there,
    Is it possible to restore my iPhone from both iCloud AND iTunes?
    I backed up phone to iCloud only (not iTunes... yea Im a dummy)  and when I restored everything was great except my music and pictures never came back! I did get a fraction of my pictures though... maybe 40 out of 1000. I synced with iTunes and now have my music back but almost no pics.
    Shall I just erase all setting/content and  try again to restore from iCloud and then sync with iTunes? It just takes so long so I thought I'd ask to see if anyone had a better idea. I miss my pics.... D*mn iCloud
    Thanks so much!

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    Yes, you can restore from an iCloud backup and sync with iTunes. Probably you won't recover all your photos with iCloud backup because you can only recover photos taken in your iPhone. When you sync your iPhone in iTunes, you will have your music and photos

  • Under the iCloud portion of settings on my iPhone, I have always gotten the message "account not verified". The email matches and is in fact the same for my accounts on iCloud and iTunes. Has anyone had this problem, and how have they resolved it?

    Hello megalina23
    You need to verify the email address associated with the Apple ID. Check out the article below on how to do this.
