Seperate two itunes accounts?

Hello folks,
Recently I plugged my wife's iPad in to my Windows-based laptop to recharge her iPad. I have my own iTunes account with purchased music on my account, and she has purchased apps and music on her separate iTunes account.
The problem is, when I plugged her iPad in to my laptop, it seems to have merged our two accounts. My account got merged in to her gmail account but all I did was plug her iPad in to my PC. I have no idea how this happened, more importantly, I have tried everything I can to fix this w/o losing data but I've come up empty.
Can you help?
Thanks.

This mixup happened because the iPad relies on the iTunes that resides on the computer/account you plugged into.
Assuming your iTunes has your information and hers has hers, and, of course, her iPad was backed up when it was in a good state, the way to recover her iPad is these two steps:
Erase her iPad.  Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
As her iPad then commences its setup process, you will be offered the option of either setting up as new or restoring from a backup.  Restore from her iTunes backup.

  • Using Two Itunes accounts

    I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right place or not but here goes nothing. My son received an Ipod for Christmas from stepmom. Stepmom set up her account in Itunes on the computer at their home. When son returned home, we set up a seperate account on home computer so that stepmom would not be charged for our purchases. When son went back to stepmom, they were not allowed to download movies from that computer because it told them they could not have two itune accounts. So stepmom is upset because movie purchases are unuseable. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

    It is actually two seperate computers.
    Yes, I understand that,
    The problem is that she can't seem to get the movie downloaded from their computer to the ipod. The ipod won't recognize that itunes account.
    So it's a problem loading onto the iPod. What model of iPod is it? If it's an iPod shuffle, you can't connect it to more than one computer, but since it's a movie that he's trying to download, I'm presuming that it's not a shuffle.
    My guess is that the computer is set to synch to the iPod automatically, which you can't do from more than one computer without having to reset the iPod (which erases everything on it and reloads from the new copy of iTunes). This should help:

    Not sure what you mean.
    An account is a user name and password.
    Sign into whichever account you want to use for purchasing.
    Authorize the computer for both account to listen to the content.

    How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    Items purchased from the iTunes Store are permanently associated with the account from which they were originally purchased.  Apple provides no way to change this.
    However, if you wish to put content from two accounts into a single iTunes library, you can easily do so.  Use the command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.

  • How can my wife and I use our two iTunes account on one iPad

    How can my wife and I use our two iTunes accounts on one IPad

    Unfortunately it will be difficult. iPads are personal devices like phones and done have credentials. You can of course log out of and into the app store to download purchased apps but the iPad will then have all the apps of both your wife and you (though you could put these into folders I guess).

  • Can 2 teachers share an ipod touch and put apps on it with two itune accounts

    Can 2 teachers share an ipod touch and put apps on it with two itune accounts?

    Sure.  No problem.
    Be aware that ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them.  Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password.  Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.
    Minor nuisance if you choose to update apps from inside the computer's iTunes.  If you're logged into the "wrong" account, it's necessary to log out/in to do the update.  It's easier if you update from the iPod itself.  No need to log out/in but you do need to know the password for the ID.

  • Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer?

    Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer and if so how do you access them without syncing each others music?

    Yes. Use separate iTunes libraries(launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down as needed), or different user accounts on the computer.

  • How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?

    How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
    Hi there
    My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
    What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
    This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
    How do I do this please?
    I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
    So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
    Any advise please?
    Thanks

    You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
    The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
    It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

  • We have two iTunes accounts on one computer. Why is my music, apps, etc showing in my husbands account? home sharing is not selected

    We have two iTunes accounts on one computer. Why is my music, apps, etc showing in my husbands account? Home sharing is NOT selected. This recently became an issue when we added additional devices. Now we keep getting each other's apps!

    Se descargan aplicaciones para mi iPad 64 3G, las cuales en el momento de sincronizar no pasan a la iPad debido a que solicita una autorizacion para el ordenador la cual se autoriza con ID y el Password, esta orden se procesa y vuelve a solicitar nuevamente la autorizacion y asi sucesivamente.
    He intentado creando nuevas cuentas y desinstalando iTunes y volviendolo a instalar.
    Favor de orientarme en la solucion adecuada para el asunto comentado anteriormente.

  • I have two iTunes accounts on one computer.  Is it possible to share between the two?  If so, how do I do it?

    I have two ITunes accounts on one computer.  One is a classic iPod, the other is for a Nano with a different user.  Is it possible to "share" playlists?  If so, how do I go about doing that?

    videoDVD is a delivery format, normally end of the of the road...
    but, you can convert dvds into something editable, you need 3rd party tools, your options are, in recommended order:
    * DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    * Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
    * Cinematize >60$
    * Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    * Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    * connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

  • How do I MERGE the purchases of two iTunes accounts into one Family Share?

    We have purchased many apps via two iTunes accounts.  How do we merge these purchases into on Family Share account

    Hi MacHead2010,
    I am not quite sure exactly what you mean by your question. It is not possible to merge two iTunes Store accounts. See this article for reference -
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
    Using Family Sharing, however, does allow all members of a Family Sharing group to use the content such as music, apps, etc on each other's devices.
    See this article for how to set up Family Sharing -
    OS X Yosemite: Set up Family Sharing
    This article will tell you what content can be shared -
    Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

    can i have two itunes accounts on one computer

    Hello Barry
    It is a yes and no answer. Yes you can but you cannot have them in the same iTunes library or one of the accounts cannot be associated for 90 days. You would need to have either a separate user or separate iTunes library to have both Apple ID’s on the same computer.
