SEPARATION of Itunes Accounts, libraries, and separate iclouds...HELP!

my wife and I have separate itunes accounts.we have separate music on our ipods, and iphones...every time we sync to the cloud something somewhere gets screwed up...contacts, music, apps etc. How do we set up separate accounts to keep things separate?
I am sorry if this isnt clear...
We just bought another ipad 2 for her birthday. Will the Cloud only sync one user?  Is there a way to either combine it all, or just make it simple for her to have her own stuff?  She doesn't want or need all of the apps I have...and certainly the music is different...
HELP!!!

See if this link helps.

  • Can I run two separate ITune Accounts & Libraries and ipods on one computer

    I have a friend visiting for a month and they want to use their IPod Nano and ITunes account on my computer. i.e. purchase and download their own songs via Itunes, sync with their Ipod etc. the same way they would on their own home computer, while they are here.
    I already have Itunes installed on my computer for my own IPod Shuffle, and related account for buying music etc. and want to continue to sync my Ipod through my own account of course
    Is there a way I can have both of these Ipods functioning fully with separate Itune accounts and libraries on my computer? How do I do this?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    OK.... I've ran into a problem and don't know how to proceed with this.
    The 2nd user is set up with their ITunes account and we have successfully purchased a few songs.
    What I expected to do was sync their Ipod and have the songs already on their IPod copy into the "new" Library we just set up. However, indications are that if I use "sync", it will erase the songs presently on the IPod and then only put back the few new songs we just purchased. (I tried a few other things but cannot get the songs from the IPOD into the ITunes Library or any other folder to preserve them)
    1. If it is even possible, how do I get the songs off the IPod into the newly established Library?
    2. If I indeed cannot sync the IPOD / Library - how do I get the newly purchased songs from the Library to the IPOD without erasing the songs already on the Ipod.
    Thanks, hope you can help!

  • ITunes account with 2 separate libraries...Can we split the account so neither of us loose our music?

    Currently have an iTunes account with 2 separate libraries and would like to split them into two separate accounts.  I'd like my niece to have her own account at this point.  Can we split the account so that neither of us loose our current music and videos? 

    You can't split the accounts. Purchased items stay authorized with the account it was purchased on. Really, the only thing you can do is keep your libraries separate and use them that way, or create an account for her, put your purchases in her account and authorize her device(s) to use your apple ID. I've done that with my library; my boyfriend and I share the same library with two different accounts and each of our devices are authorized to play one anothers purchases.
    Sorry there's no better way I can think of. I'd like to split our libraries.... I wish Apple would create a feature keeping in mind that people buy new PCs and that family members move and get old enough for their own account, etc. :/

  • My wife and I own an iMac (April 2011) and just recently got iPhones.  We share one iTunes account (mainly for our uploaded music from CD).  Do we each need to have our own iTunes account?  What about iCloud?  We want to utilize the same Calendar/Contacts

    No.
    One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
    But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
    Create separate computer logins for each of you.
    This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

  • Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account.  Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want.  How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID?

Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID?  If so, where do I need to change his email address info, so that his calender and contacts remain his?  Thank you

    You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours.  If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for).  You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
    You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

    Each device only syncs waht you select.
    Select only what you want for each phone.

    Buy the songs that your friend put on the iPod that you liked. They had no right to give you the copyrighted music when they sold you the device.

  • Separating one iTunes account into several

    We have four iPods tied to one iTunes account and all four of us like different music.  Syncing can be tricky and we sometimes get each others' songs on our iPod.  We also have an iPad and an iPhone to add to one of the accounts.  The kids have their own gift cards they want to use also.  How do I separate one iTunes account into four separate accounts?

    Any music purchased after about 2009 can be played on any computer with the file on it.  That's the easy part.  Oh, I don't know if syncing present problems but I'm guessing it won't since people often have multiple Store accounts and shared music on family computers.
    Movies require the computer be authorized to the account used to purchase the content.  This is where you will have to come to an agreement not to change the password or de-authorize each other's computers for that account (there could be a scenario where this is done unintenionally but it shouldn't normally arise unless you have lots and lots of computers).
    One  tip is to make sure you always have all content present on a local drive.  Do not put yourself in a position to ever need to re-download media from the Store.  I am presuming you will have your own account after this and the main problem people seem to have with using multiple Store accounts on a computer is being prevented from changing accconts more than once every 90 days for the purpose of re-downloading.  Otherwise families often have multiple AppleID users on a single computer with shared media.
    You may have to ease up on doing anything such as using iTunes Match or iCloud downloads with this particular account, but we're talking trying to rescue what you can.

  • I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs.  Can I merge them into one account under one ID?

    I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs.  Can I merge them into one account under one ID?  I have purchased music and video in both.

    No, it is not possible to merge accounts.  Choose one as the primary account and keep a local backup of all purchases so you don't get into the mess where you encounter a 90 day freeze on re-downloading past purchases from multiple accounts.

  • Do all my iOS devices need to be logged on the same iTunes account to work on iCloud?

    I want to buy an iPod touch for my hubby, but he has his own iTunes account... Need to know if I can still send messages through iMessage and use photo stream from my iPad 2 to his iPod touch while logged on to different accounts... Help? Thanx!

    itunes account is different from Icloud account.
    You CAN use your iTunes account as icloud account, but there is no must to do so. The appstore,itunes store / ibook store and all of these stores need your iTunes Account Apple-ID that you used when purchasing items.
    Because Apps,Music,Books are all hardwired to the Apple-ID that was used. If you change your Store credentials you will ultimately loose your stuff you bought.
    For iCloud you can create a all new Apple-ID for free, which ten has the @me.com domain. Or if you used Mobilee before and alreday have a @mac.com/@me.com ID you can move this to transform into a iCloud account by visitng www.me.com/migrate.
    icloud control panel in OSX/Mac and IOS lets you enter the ID, and "Appstore" in iOS settings lets you enter your itunes ( stores ) ID. Like I said : use one there and the other one in the iCloud settings and all is good.
    Devices that shall stay in sync for calendar,contacts,mail and so need all use the same ICLOUD ID, not the iTunes ID ( only to share purchased items ).

  • HT1212 Hi, one of my daughters friends tried to access her ipod causing it to become disabled; i do not want her to lose all her photos, she accesses my itunes account which is on ICLOUD, will she lose all her data - can this be fixed?

    Hi, one of my daughters friends tried to access her ipod causing it to become disabled; i do not want her to lose all her photos, she accesses my itunes account which is on ICLOUD, will she lose all her data - can this be fixed? I do not think it has been synced with a computer before.

    Disabled
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
    Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.
    Otherwise y will have to restore and thus erase the iPod
    You can restore from backup
    If not in backup then:
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:

  • How can i sync 15 iPads to 1 iTunes account quickly and easily?

    I am in charge of 15 iPads in my school.
    I would like to sync all the ipads to one itunes account easily and quickly. At the moment i am doing this manually 1 at a time.
    The ipads do all have apps on them now, but when i download new apps or software updates, i have to sync it across each ipad 1 at a time through itunes.
    I would also like to create a new itunes account, to keep 1 set (15) of ipads sperate from another set we have in school. Could i transfer purchases to the new itunes from 1 iPad, then sync across the remaining 14?
    We have a spare computer that could soley be used for itunes or alternatiely, i have a personal macbook pro, that has my personal library on it.
    The ipads are contained in a storage/charging station, that can be connected to a pc/mac via a usb cable (connection is similar to a printer port, then into USB).
    I have connected the container to the pc via USB and itunes recognises the 15 ipads, but i still have to sync them individually.
    I would like to be able to connect the container, click sync and leave it over night, rather than sit there for hours.
    Is this possible?
    Must be other people in similar situations as many schools have ipads now.
    Thanks in advance!

    This may be over the top for 15 ipads.
