Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes.

My 9 year old daughter needs her own apple id for her new iphone
Apple says she is too young for her own apple id, but how else am I supposed to keep her imessages separated from mine?
On both the devices go to Settings > Messages > Recieved At > Check only the number for that device
Apple requires age 13 to have an Apple ID. Nothing is stopping you from creating a second Apple ID for yourself
Hope that helps -
My daughter has somehow figured out how to register for her own Apple ID but she is very underage. She is not giving me the correct info for me to get into her email. She has downloaded some apps that I would not allow. How can I recover her Apple ID info?
No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that. -
I need help setting up an apple id for my son's phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.
Two different things
If you forgot the password
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up -
Wanting to access iTunes library on our iMac from our Mac Book Pro
Hello - Can anyone help?
Wanting to access iTunes library on our iMac from our Mac Book Pro - home sharing is switched on and can play both via Apple TV but how do I copy a playlist from the IMAC library to my library on the Mac book pro.Hi Michael and thanks for your help.
I had worked out how to play the itunes library as I did find that page but I can't copy anything.
As soon as I click on Music (from the shared library on the Library-pop-up-menu) I get my husbands library which is good and we can play it. But we cant figure out how to copy and cant do step 2 (as per below) as we can't find the "Show menu at the bottom of the iTunes window, choose “Items not in my library.” Any further advice?
Many thanks...Elaine
Import items from other libraries using Home Sharing
Choose a computer on your Home Sharing network from the Library pop-up menu.The library loads and a list of categories appears.
Choose a category (Music, for example).
In the Show menu at the bottom of the iTunes window, choose “Items not in my library.”
Select the items you want to import, and click Import. -
I bought my MacBook Pro in 2010. This is the first Mac I have owned and recently it is having some difficulty loading we pages, often timing out. This Mac environment is entirely different for me and I am not sure where to begin troubleshooting and/ or clean-up. I have moderate computer skills and try not to download or access questionable material, however recently I visited the Ap Store and purchased a couple of different aps to use in record keeping and for making a flyer. I am not even sure how to remove these programs to see if it helps.
Any tips or tricks are appreciated.
Thank you!Time to see about the PRAM battery.
By the way iOS and OS X are different systems.
iOS is the operating system for iPads, iPhones, and iPod touch.
Mac OS X is the operating system for Mac labelled computers. -
My daughter has an old itouch, she uses my apple I'd. I just got her a new I touch, and want to register it, but give her her own apple Id. I just backed up or synced her old itouch to the computer and now I am setting up her new one. If I give her a new apple Id will she then loose all her apps and songs from her old itouch? Please help!! I thought it was supposed to say something like restore from back up or something like that? Maybe that is a next step after I give her her own apple id?

I registered my daughters new iPod touch under my apple I'd and sign on and she wants to do face-time using her email can she set up her own apple account for FaceTime on this iPod or do I need to clear everything out and start over?
Don't worry, your daughter can use her own email, you just need to set it up that way in Settings->FaceTime
You can be reached for video calls at:
Email: yours
Add another email...
Tap add another email, add your daughters, and then delete your email by tapping on the one that was there already and selecting remove.
Then under calls:
Caller ID -> Make sure your daughters email is selected
Hope this helped, and was clear. -
hee guys how do u delete a creditcard from your apple id? in the summer a friend of mine connected his own creditcard details to my apple id now i want to disconnect that again but i have no idea how? i just want my own apple id without a creditcard connected to it
I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

I am trying to figure out if I give her her own apple id does that mean we have to purchase the same songs in itunes so that she can have access to them? I mean, it seems silly since if I buy the songs, I should be able to share with my family. It is for everyones use but if I give her her own apple ID so she can buy her own music with her own password then that whole sharing thing is off? I don't want to give her full access to my account password... She is only 11. I don't want her to go on a shopping spree LOL! So how can I give her the freedom to download free apps etc but yet share the purchased items I have already? Will this icloud help with that. Can I share my music with someone else with a different apple ID? Help. Extremely confused. Thanks.
You can create a new account without giving credit card details by following the instructions on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
And she can then use that account for free items. If she redownloads an item on her iPad (and similarly on your Mac) from an account (either your existing account or a new one) then she may tie the iPad to that account for 90 days (so she won't be able to redownload items from the other account until those 90 days have completed) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
Also all content is tied to the account that downloaded it, so only your account will be able to download updates to the apps that were bought/downloaded by your account.
The apps will only automatically download on your phone if you have automatic downloads turned on in Settings > iTunes & App Store on it. -
My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones (2 phones both are 5s) . She now has an ipad with a her own apple id. How can we change the apple id on her phone so that is the same as the ipad and not loose any contacts or songs?
Did you take a look at the new feature Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing ?
Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
Up to now, songs bought from iTunes could only be played by the Apple ID that has been used to buy them.
If you set up Family Sharing, your daughter can also play your songs and use the same contact info as before.
If you don't want to do that, sync the contact info to the address book on your computer, and sync the info back, using iTunes:
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
If the iPad already has her Apple ID and contact info on it, restore the phone from the latest iPad backup. -
Hi, I need to take my daughter off from our Apple account and set up her own. So, delete her from one account and create her own. Realize I sound imbecilic for not knowing how to do this. Any ideas? Thank you so much. Jules
You don't have to take her off your account exactly: she needs to sign out from your account on her computers and devices. Then she can obtain an Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com and use it to sign into System Preferences or Settings>iCloud.
However, there are some issue about this. If she has been syncing her calendars and contacts to your account then the data will disappear from her devices, but remain on your account. Individual calendars can be exported as .ics files and reimported into her account, but if she has her contacts mixed up with yours she will have to enter them individually in the new account (or export yours, import them into hers, and delete the ones she doesn't want.
More intractable is the email issue. She cannot move an address from your account to hers, so if she has been using a alias on your account to have her own address she cannot transfer it. She will have to create a new email address. -
HT3819 how can i share my lbrary wth my daughter who has her own apple id?
How can I share my music library with my daughter who has her own apple id? She just got a new iphone and we set her up with her own id. problem was all of her sosngs were on my library under my apple id.
If you want to share music, apps, books etc., you need to both use the same iTunes account. many people do this and still keep their own iCloud account so they keep their own mail, calendars, contacts etc.
If you want to share photos you will need to use the same iCloud account, even a secondary account won't help with photos.. -
Here is the breakdown. I just bought my wife a new iPhone 4s and I'm trying to decide how to set it up for her. Should she have her own Apple ID or use mine? If she uses my Apple ID, will that cause issues with iMessage - say when I'm chatting with someone else and vice a versa. Will our messages show up on each others devices? How will a FaceTime call work? Will the video call come across both our devices (ipad also)?
Just some information that might be of note:
I have the new iPhone 4s, iPad2 and one iTunes account - the iTunes account is my Apple ID which I use also for the iCloud (I think...it's getting murky
What am I trying to achieve is having the ability for me (iphone, ipad) and my wife (iphone) to be able to share and sync just music, apps, movies, etc... I have Google Calender and I have not made up my mind yet if we will share a contacts list (I have large business list). Also this might be of note, I most likely will be using iTunes on my LG LCD TV (appleTV) at some point in the near future.
So, basically I'm confused, which is not unusual for me. If I'm thinking to much inside the box, please let me know and feel free to offer up any suggestions. Even if the suggestion is I'm not asking the right questions. Of course if that is your suggestion, then please tell me the question. And an answer would be nice to.
Thanks.

Last year my daughter received an iPod for her birthday. I sat it up using my Apple ID and password that I use with my iPhone. For Christmas she got an iPad mini and it was sat up this time with her own Apple ID and password. Just wondering if there is any way to transfer or sync the apps and music that she has on her iPod to her iPad even though they have different apple IDs and passwords?

Unfortunately, you can't transfer content from one ID to another.
