Sharing music from two different iTunes accounts

I have an iTunes account with purchased music which is shared across two users on my home iMac.  We can download music to various ipods with our own playlists because each user has their own login on the iMac.
With a new iPad mini, one user will be adding apps and potentially new music choices and will pay for it separately.  With a separate iTunes account, how will those purchases syncronize back to the iMac?
Will (or can) new music purchased on the mini be loaded into the Shared Music folder upon syncing?

If you mean iTunes Store accounts, there's really nothing for you to do. Just add the tracks to the iTunes library and play them. Music purchased prior to late-2009 will been to be authorized, though. Pull down Store > Authorize... and type the credentials of the Apple ID used to buy the tracks.
If you mean something else, please describe in more detail.

    This is correct.
    Ipad wilol sync itunes content and pics with one and only one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.

  • Possible to add apps from two different itunes accounts?

    So my family just purchased an iPad and I was wondering if it was possible to add apps from two different user accounts without paying for them twice? My dad synced it up with his computer so all the apps from his iphone were transfered. I noticed that in the app store for the ipad you can switch between different accounts. If I switched to my username would it allow me to add apps that I've already purchased through my iphone or will I have to pay twice?

    Yes. My grandson did that to me and I had a heck of a time upgrading the apps he loaded because I didn't have his password. I ended up deleting them.

  • Sorting Music from 2 different Itune accounts in 1 Library??

    I have music from 2 different i-tunes accounts co-mingled in one library on one of my laptops - I'm not exactly sure how that happened - maybe trying to synch the wrong ipod to the wrong computer? Is there easy way to sort a library by user-account name so I can delete the tracks the computer is not authorized to play? It's tedious to go through the library album-by-album/song-by-song and delete them individually. Thanks!!

    My mac mini has more music on than will fit onto my macbook, I do loads of audio editing for post production and have a big part of my sound library on there. And yes, I know the other solution would be to put all of my music on the mac mini, but that's at my office so then I can't use the iPhone with the macbook at home.  And, I don't want to have to take one of my computers to work or vice-versa just to solve this problem.  Anyway, the question is not 'how do I get the music onto my iPhone'.  I just wanted to know if there was any way I could use my iPhone with both of my macs but it seems the answer is no.  As I said, I'll be returning to an android phone as soon as someone buys this crappy iPhone 5c on ebay and then I won't have the problem anymore
    As for anti-piracy?????  It is so ridiculously easy to pirate music despite this bizarre system where you can't use 3 bits of technology made by the same company, together?  I would have thought it's more to do with encouraging people to buy their music from the iTunes store rather than other sources.  Maybe I'm just a cynic.....
    Have you considered an external hard drive?  Also, if you don't like the Apple procedure, then tell Apple: https://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • Can I share music between two different ITunes accounts?

    My daughter has iTunes on her Ipod under her iTunes account and I have my music on my IPhone 4S under my account.
    We want to share some songs, is this possible?

    Import the music in to iTunes library that is used for syncing the device and then sync to the iPod.
    You can import by:

  • How can you use music from a different itunes account on the same iphone

    i bought my iphone 4s and had an apple id.  then changed my apple id, but lost my music on my phone. can i keep music on my phone from another apple id, itunes?

    Paid content purchased from the itunes store is always assigned to a single apple id. You will be unable to use the purchased content on another apple id.
    Next time you change your apple id instead of creating an entire new apple id just change the primary email address to the email you would like to use.
    e.g. current apple id is [email protected] but you want to change it. what you do is:
    - go to appleid.apple.com
    - select manage apple id
    - sign in
    From here what you want to do is change/edit your current primary email which in this case is [email protected] Simply select edit and enter the new email you would like as your apple id. Lastly you will be sent a verification email to verify the email addres and TADA your done.

  • Can you copy purchase history between two different iTunes accounts?

    So I have music from two different iTunes store accounts that were purchased on two different credit cards. I want to buy and album & I have 7 of the songs from it, but it isn't showing up as purchased, because they were purchased on the other account. I don't want to pay for those songs again, so is there a way to copy the purchase history between the different accounts so I don't have to pay for them again?

    No.

  • I want to dl music deom 2 different itunes accounts how do i do this or can I!I could with my old apple ipod?

    I want to dl music from 2 different itunes accounts how do i do this or can I!I could with my old apple ipod but when I try do it wit this one the only option is to erase and sync or cancel?

    That's not true. It's one computer at a time, has nothing to do with accounts. If the computer is authorized for both accounts & the music is in the same iTunes library, it will sync just fine to an iPhone.

  • Can I use the same music file for two accounts to be able to set up two different iTunes accounts?

    I would like to set up two different Itunes accounts on my mac.  I would like to have different accounts for my wife and I so that our devices have different accounts/contacts/email and stuff but we would like to use the same music library.  Can I set the different itunes to go to the same file to see music?  Or could I copy the music file and give the copy to the second itunes account?  I could set it up and authorize the music like for another user?  Is any of this possible?

    Hello 19firedude
    Try moving the entire iTunes Media folder to the Shared folder on your Mac and then in iTunes preferences, change the location of that folder to line it up. Then all you have to do in another user is follow the second set of steps to get that shared properly. Check out the article below for more detailed instructions.

    If it is in your itunes on your computer, then select it to sync just like everything else that you sync.
    The music must be on your computer.

  • How do I get the music from my iPod classic onto my computer if it came from a different iTunes account?

    How do I get the music from my iPod classic onto my computer if it came from a different iTunes account?

    Hello JLGBone,
    It sounds like you are needing to transfer your music from your iPod classic to your computer. The following article will help you transfer your iTunes Store purchases:

    Any items that are not purchased from the iTunes Store will need to be re imported to the iTunes library manually.

  • Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same mac?

    Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same account? I am having trouble accessing mine from my sons.

    Yes you can.
    The fact you cannot access your son's library from your User account is intentional. User accounts on your Mac are nearly as separate from each other as your Macs are from anyone else's on the planet. To copy music from his account to yours, first copy it to the Shared folder, then log into your account and import the music. Then, you can erase it from Shared.
    The Shared folder exists at /Users/Shared.
