Correct, but you shouldn't have them in one library.
Why not?
If you want to use two Apple IDs, you should create a second library for one of these Apple IDs, or another user that uses a different library.
Why?
I have one library with three iTunes accounts (mine and two daughters). No problems at all.

    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.

    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.

  • Can you have two iTunes accounts on one computer?

    Just bought a MacBook Air which I'm sharing with my husband. Is it possible to have two active iTunes accounts on one computer? We both have very different tastes in music and we have our own iPhones that we'd like to update differently. Would be great to have the option to separate our accounts.

    Yes you can... and it's not that hard

  • Can I Have Two iTunes Accounts on One Computer?

    I have an iTunes account and no iPhone. My wife has an iPhone but has notestablished an iTunes account. Can we open her iTunes account on my computer? I so, do we have to download a second instance of iTunes on my computer to establish her account?

    Can we open her iTunes account on my computer?
    Yes. Log in and out of the iTunes Store as desired, or create a separate Windows user account.
    do we have to download a second instance of iTunes on my computer to establish her account?
    Only one instance of iTunes itself can exist per bootable OS.

  • Can you have 2 iTunes accounts on one computer?

    My husband and I each have an iTunes account. We both have phones, iPads and until now had separate computers. One computer has bit the dust and we want to share one MacBook Pro. Can we have separate iTunes accounts, so we can sync phones and iPads,.

    Yes. Use separate Mac OS X user accounts, or launch iTunes with the Option key held down as needed.

  • Can we have two iTune accounts on one computer

    Hi everyone,
    Just wanted to know if I can create two iTune accounts on one computer.
    My teen and I right now share one account and the problem gets confusing
    when we both want to use Itune gift cards (it's hard to keep track separately).
    I have a 2nd gen Touch and my teen has a 2nd gen Nano but might be getting the newer nano. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    You can. Log in and out as needed, or create a new Windows XP user account.

  • Can you have multiple Itunes accounts on one computer?

    I just bought a new IPhone. my husband and I had HTC phones but I wanted to go Apple so i could have my own itunes account. He has a IPod and doesnt desire an IPhone. My computer has my husbands ITunes. How can I use my computer for MY ITunes account?

        "Won't it present problems if the daughter needs to reauthorize the computer for her own use before 90 days,"
    No. The 90 day limit ONLY applies to redownloading purchases from iTunes..
    So if she were to redownload purchases from the father's account then she'd have to wait 90 days to redownload form her own account. and the computer can be authorized for multiple iTunes account (pretty sure it's 5) . You don't need to later reauthorize for first account if you authorize for a different account.
    More discussion on 90 day wait period - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6094005 - disable automatic downloads so message doesn't appear when using multiple accounts.

  • Can you have 2 iTunes accounts on one MAC Desktop

    I have a MAC Desktop which my husband and I share. We each have our own Itunes accounts, mine which is stored on an old Mac Book Pro with issues. In order for me to use the cloud I need to get my Itunes account onto the desktop. This laptop can not be updated to the icloud becasue of its problems. We can share the contacts and the calendar from the desktop, but we each have our own music. Can you have 2 itunes accounts on one desktop?

    Yes. Use separate Mac OS X user accounts, or launch iTunes with the Option key held down as needed.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • How can I have two iTunes accounts on one mac?

    I have a late model iMac and am running Lion. I have an account for myself with admin privileges. I also have an iTunes account and a music and video library in iTunes. I sync my iPod and iPhone to the iTunes account regularly.
    I recently added my spouse as a "Standard" user. She has an iTunes account, an iPhone and an iPad. How do I get her iTunes configured to download her music and apps to sync with her devices without destroying my own music and apps in the process? We keep getting a warning that all my stuff will be deleted without the possibility of reinstatement for 90 days! What is up?

    I agree with Chris CA that this is the way I would *expect* iTunes to behave.
    When I look at iTunes from my account (my music is in ~/Music/iTunes/ and not available to my spouse's account), I can see in my music library all my rips and my purchases, just as I would expect. I can use Store>View My Account (<myAppleID>) and all is as expected. Home sharing is NOT on.
    Doing the same from the other account is not much different, actually. Nothing in the library yet, of course. Store>View My Account (<herAppleID>) also works. I CAN authorize my computer to play her music. I CAN view her iTunes purchases. When I attempt to download the purchases to HER library, though, I get the following dialog box:
    Now I interpret this to mean that this computer (mine) will not download from a different AppleID (also mine) for 90 days. Is that [interpretation] correct?
