Should I create a new iTunes account for a podcast?

We are still in the process of getting our first podcast edited and ready to go, along with the website, podcast hosting, etc... But I was curious about when we are ready to submit the podcast to iTunes.... Should I ceate a new iTunes account, dedicated to the podcast, or use my own personal iTunes account to submit. I'm a little hesitant about using my own, since I'm not sure how that affects anything in how the podcast is displayed, or notifications from iTunes. I would rather have communications go through the E-Mail for the domain I have set up for the website/podcast, but it's not the end of the world.
If it's used strictly for authentication, then it most likely won't be an issue. I just wanted to verify how it is used, and best practices, before submitting our first episode.
Thanks,
Mike

It is just for authentication - no need to create a new account for your podcast.
Just submit with the one you already have.
Any changes to your show in iTunes are managed via your RSS feed - not from your iTunes account.

  • I have multiple apple phones on one account  can i create a new iTunes account for other iphone

    I have multiple iphones on one billing account as well as itunes.  Can I create a separate itunes account for other iphone?

    You don't need to create two separate libraries.
    If you want to sync different content onto each device, select the device in iTunes, select the tabs across the top and sync what you want.
    To make it easier, create different playlists for each device and sync only those playlists.

  • Should I sync or create a new itune accounts for my new ipad Air

    I have been using ipad 2 for the past two years and just bought an ipad Air.  I would like to know the best solution as to whether I should sync to my current itunes account or should I create another itune for my new ipad Air.  Appreciate your help. Thanks. Niki

    There is no reason to create a new account just because you are migrating to a different device. See Diavonex's link to that support article. In fact, creating a new account will cause headaches if you have past purchases tied to your old account (note**** that there is no way to transfer purchases accross Apple IDs).

  • How do I create a new Itunes account for my external HD?

    Hi. I am a graduate student with a huge amount of music files for academia.  I store the academia music files on my external HD, since it will just take up too much space on my computer.  I wanted to create a separate Itunes account just for my external HD music files.  How do I go about doing this? I tried to set it up and created a new account, but it automatically synced to my computer Itunes and I ended up deleting all of my personal music, video and reading articles on my personal itunes account.

    As a graduate student you will quickly learn the importance of exact terminology.  I presume your colleague told you to copy the "iTunes folder".  You can't copy just iTunes (well, you can, but it isn't easy).  Saying "iTunes" on its own refers to the application itself, not the library.
    You do not need to make a new account.  This again gets confusing unless you tell us exactly what you did.  As I said before, an "iTunes account" is something you log into to make a purchase from the iTunes Store.  A "computer account" is a whole new user area on your computer and isn't made on a different hard drive.  An "iTunes library" is a collection of files and folders that generate the window you see when you start the iTunes application.
    I do not know how you are ending up with two icons on the dock.  While it is possible to do that it isn't at all normal unless you somehow are running two copies of iTunes at the same time.  That is exceedingly difficult to do and people have unsuccessfully tried and would like to know how you did it.
    You can have two independent libraries and there won't be any crosssover from one to the other.  I have four on my computer.  Use the procedure I outlined earlier to create a second library and to switch between them.
    I was a graduate student many years ago and one  of the first things I learned to do so I didn't lose years of research  was to make multiple backup copies of anything I generated by computer,  especially before performing any major changes to the computer such as  installing new software or substantial file rearrangement.  I kept several  copies in different buildings on campus and a copy at home in another  part of town just in case the campus was wiped out by a disaster.

  • How should I open a new iTunes account for my daughter?

    My daughter (& her laptop) is currently authorized on my iTunes account.  I want to buy her Lion OS for Christmas so her laptop & iPhone are backed up on iCloud.
    Do I de-authorize her laptop on my account & then sign her up for a new iTunes account in her name and then update her laptop to Lion?

    If you remove the authorization then she will not have access to the previous purchased content. You can leave her auhtorized and have her make all new purchases with her account. She should then have access to all the content. She could also authorize your computer so you have access to her content.
    Her account and your account have nothing to do with Lion except she will have more options available to her.

  • Can I create a new itunes account for my kids and still keep old music on both?

    My kids currently have ipod nanos.  They are getting ipod touches for christmas.  Originally we setup a "family" itunes account on my computer.  We now want to set them up their own account on their own laptop.  Can we transfer old music from nano to touch to the new itunes account?

    You can usehHome Sharing so the music will be accessable on their computers,  Their computer will have to be authorized for the iTunes account.  For more informations see:

  • I want to create a new itunes account for myself and leave the current one for my wife. Is that possible?

    Ok. My wife uses itunes for her work and she has asked me to open my own account without erasing the one we currently have so that our music can be seperate. I have my own pc and sync to my own itunes program but our purchases still download to the same account and the money comes from the same account. Can I open a new account and not lose everything? Thanks!

    I hope this isn't too wordy but I want to be as clear and explicit as I can for you.
    You can't transfer purchases from one account to another account. Apple doesn't allow it.
    You can continue to use your daughter's Apple ID in order to continue to use the apps that you purchased with her ID and you will need to use her ID and password any time that you want to update those apps. What you do want to avoid is having to download any of those purchased apps again on any other devices - if you create a new Apple ID.
    If you create a new ID and then you sign into her ID in order to download a previous purchase-  you will lock yourself out of the new ID for 90 days and there is nothing that you can do about it. So as long as you do NOT download any past purchases with her ID - you will not lock yourself out of the new ID. So you can keep using the apps that were bought with her ID, you can also update those apps using her ID (you have to sign into her account in Settings>Store) but you can't download past purchases without messing things up with your new ID.
    When you download a past purchase with a different ID - you associate that device with the different ID for 90 days. This is one way that Apple hopes to cut down on pirating of apps - friends using other friends IDs in order to download apps without patting for them.
    This explains it in a little more detail.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    The bottom line is that you can create a new ID, still use her ID - judiciously - but you really want to avoid downloading past purchases with her ID. Transfer all of those purchases into iTunes so that if something happens and you need the purchased content again, you can just sync it again rather than downloading it.
    This explains transferring purchases.

  • If i have an itune account for a nano under my account and then on my laptop create a new account, can i have a new itunes account for a shuffle?

    if i have an itune account for a nano under my account and then on my laptop create a new user account under a different, can i have a new itunes account for a shuffle?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You should use the same iTunes account for all your devices.

  • My phone number appears on my daughters iTouch and she can receive my text messages.  If I need to creaye a new user account for her itouch, can i use the same iTunes account or do i need to create a new iTunes account?

    My phone number appears in my daughters list of acceptable numbers to receive texts or messages on her iTouch.
    I sync her iTouch on my iTunes account.
    Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for her to prevent this from happening?  or can i use the same itunes account and just create a separate a differne user name for the same itunes account?
    If i need to create a separate iTunes account, how can i save her data and game levels?

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked, so that when I delete a song from one library it deletes from the other one. 
    On the online tutorials I've seen it shows that when you create a new iTunes library it should open as a blank account, but that isn't happening.
    What am I doing wrong?

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    If necessary:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • How do I create a seperate itunes account for my husband

    I got an iphone, so I gave my husband my nano (3rd gen) for work. I reset and renamed it, but how do I give him his own accountso that every time he plugs it in it doesnt sync with mine?

    Make a new user account on your computer. Have him log into that account to sync his Nano. He should also get his own Apple ID.
    How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer
    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • If I create a new itunes account?

    If I create a new itunes account will it erase my existing information such as my purchased music history?
    This is a problem my father is having,
    When he started his itunes account a few years ago he made up an email account to initiate the account and all had worked well until now that he wants to sync his actual email account to Mail from his computer.
    He wants to create another account, now doing so will it erase all purchased history? Or is there a way to sync?

    Syncing an email account to the Mail app on a device shouldn't require you to create a new iTunes account. Is he having a problem adding the email account in the Mail app ? You should be able to add an email account to Mail without it needing to be linked to any iTunes account.
    All content that is downloaded from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it. If he wants to now have a proper email address on his iTunes account (which would allow him to get email receipts for any downloads from the store, and if needed password reset emails) then he can update the account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on his device, tap 'view Apple id' on the popup, and he should be able to then tap on the current email address on the account's page and change it. Or he can do it on a computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and at the top of his account's screen there should be an edit link to the right of the current email address. He can also do it via http://appleid.apple.com
    If he does change it then he may need to log out of the account on any iOS devices he has (tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store), and possibly on computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them

  • How do I create 2 seperate iTunes account for me and my daughter

    I already have a iTunes account. Just got my daughter a  iPod...BUT I don't know how to create a seperate iTunes account for her on the same computer. I do not want her to have my play list and visa versa.

    Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and create a new library, or use separate Windows user accounts. This isn't the same as using different iTunes Store accounts.
