Share itune account

I share my itune account with 2 other people. that way we share music and apps
can I use the same ID for both my icloud and the Itune account and use different passwords so the other people don't have access to my personal emails etc on icloud????
thanks

No, you'll have to create a new Apple ID to use as the icloud account. (You can still use the existing ID for the itunes store.)
To create a new icloud account, go to

Can my wife and I share iTunes accounts on different computers?

My wife uses an Apple Airbook, I work on a desktop PC. I've had an iTunes account for a long time and we share music, etc. So can we share the same iTunes account from our different computers?

No. iOS is not designed at this time for multiple account logins. You would be synching over the top of each other.

How do I share itunes account with my wife who just got an iphone?

How can I share my itunes account with my wife who just got her iphone 3gs but doesn't have an itunes account yet?

hi, thanks but when i connect my wife's iphone to the pc it does a three step synch at the end of which nothing has transfered to her phone.
asking it to synch on the dropdown menu top left pf itumes page or asking for synch after going into the icon for her iphone on top right does same three step synch with no result. i have no set up my itunes library on a separate pc (notebook) and put her apple id and password into the share function, and her id and passwoed onto share function on this pc. that gets my 'library' up via the share menu top left but it doesnt synch onto her phone either...

If he purchases new music on the new account then presumably they will be in separate libraries
No. It will be in the same library.
You can have content from more than one iTunes account in the same library.
I did suggest saving the whole music folder to an external drive and then saving to new computer and deleting what he didn't want,he was less than impressed !
As opposed to sitting down now and going through everything before it gets copied over?
Kids...
It'll work but why not do it when you have the time and you are on your own computer rather than having to do it all at once?
Or you can quit iTunes, copy the entire iTunes folder to the external, open it (hold Option, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the extrenal) then go through and delete what he doesn't want.
Then copy the folder on the external to his computer.

Now that we can share Itunes accounts, How can i converst my kids existing accounts to child accounts under my account?

I want to convert my kids existing itunes accounts to sub accounts under the new family feature....is that possible? I have added them to my family but they show up as adult accounts. I would like them to be child accounts.

No method for that but you can keep changing the account from the iPhone and it won't delete the apps from the second account

How to share iTunes account?

Hi, i'm sure i'm not the only one thats asked this question so hopefully theres an answer out there somewhere already?
I'm a father of 5 (yes thats 5 children!) and we are an 'Apple Family'. Between us we have 4 Macbook Pros, 1 iPad, 3 iPad Minis and 3 iPhones. At the moment 2 Macbook Pros, 1 iPad, 3 iPad minis and 2 of the iPhones are using a shared iTunes account, now my son has just got a new Macbook Pro i've got to the point where it won't let me add anymore hardware to this account...
I first saw the details about this 'Family Sharing' possibility with the IOS 8 and Yosemite and thought this sounded exactly what I was after, however this only supports 5 users and I have 7!
Is there anyway I can set up a total of 11 Apple products on the same iTunes account, and if not how best would I set this up? Can I have 2 iTunes accounts with different usernames but the same credit card details? is this the best way? If I did it this way I would have to purchase things twice?
Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated..
thanks in advance
Matthew

Wife and I share itunes account. How do we save her info and start her own account?

When we first got our iphones, we were told at apple store we could use the same itunes account. We still do. Now with 2 iphones, 2 laptops, ipads, etc. it is a mess with facetime and sharing apps.
How do I save her information and start a new account for her?
Thanks

Your best bet would be to set up a separate Apple ID for her to use with iCloud, Messages, and FaceTime, but continue to use the same iTunes account for purchases (click on the second box "Use one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases" to go directly to the section which outlines how to do this). The reason you would want to continue to use the current ID for iTunes is because all of the purchases made under that ID will be forever tied to that ID - purchases cannot be transferred to another ID:

Can Apple TVs in different countries share iTunes account?

I'm in Korea and my wife in the U.S. We have Apple TVs on same iTunes account. Hers works fine. Over the past couple days, mine started malfunctionin. Whey I try to play a purchased TV show, I get: "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later." Previews play fine. Please help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can use 2 or more Apple Tv's in different locations in the same house. You can even use them at the same time and watch the same content on each or choose different content.

Stolen Ipad, multiple devices share Itunes account

If I lock our stolen IPad, will the Iphone that shares the same Apple ID also be locked or affected?
Also, can the thief do anything once the device is locked?
Sorry for the second email - but device was stolen several days ago and this is the first time I see it on and being used so want to act fast

Hello Sue,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. The number of devices one Apple ID can handle is up to 10. The following article goes into detail about that process.

TS2972 I would like to share my iTunes libraries with my Apple TV from both my iMac and Macbook Pro, but I use the same iTunes account on both devices. Is it possible to link my Apple TV to both devices at the same time?

I recently purchased an Apple TV, and I currently have it linked to my iMac with my iTunes account. I also have a newer MacBook Pro that has some different iTunes media on it than my iMac does, but they share iTunes accounts. Is it possible to link both devices at the same time, have access to media on both computers, and use the same iTunes account on both computers?? It seems Apple TV will only link to one iTunes account per computer, but can access multiple computers if different iTunes accounts are activated on those computers.

You can share multiple libraries with the Apple TV, they don't even need to use the same iTunes account. Just make sure that you use the same ID for homesharing on all devices.

Can I access my kids family share account from my iTunes account? It's the master account.

I Have kids with family share iTunes accounts off of my master iTunes account. Is there a way I can get into their account from my Mac or iPad to check their account balance or even say, add a gift card to their account without having their iPads in front of me.

I'd like to know if this is possible too. It would be easier to be able to add things to my Apple TV wish list using my laptop.

Home sharing and itunes accounts

if we do home sharing do we have to share itunes accounts, using the sames payment and giftcards so we don't know whose is whose?

No. All iTunes purchases remain permanently tied to the account used to purchase them. You can however authorize your computer for multiple accounts and any Apple devices can hold protected content from up to five different accounts at any one time.
If you are trying to merge two separate iTunes libraries into one that is a different problem. Take the largest, add all the content from the smallest, then dedupe.

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

You can migrate a copy of the data to a new account, then delete the other person's data from each account. To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to keep on the phone, save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you have any synced notes that you want to keep on the phone, email these to yourself so you can create new notes in the new account.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then 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. You will create a new icloud email address with you turn Mail to On.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then 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 (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).
