Two iphones one cannot download from itunes?

My husband has recently got an iphone and has registered an account with itunes. The problem is that my account is stopping him downloading or purchasing from itunes on the pc and on the iphone.I go into his itunes account on the pc and download to his iphone, it looks as if it is working, but fails at the end. On his iphone he asks to purchase, but gets my user id from the itunes store, but if he enters my password it again fails.
I feel that we're doing or not doing something really simple - but don't know what.

Thanks for the reply - neither of us had thought of doing that. We like some music the same, but not everything, so thought it best to keep the accounts separate.
I've had a good read of a lot of similar questions and have worked out with all the help there what we were doing wrong. It's all working OK now thanks.

My iPhone 4s cannot download from app store

For a couple days now my iPhone 4s cannot download anything from the app store. I cannot download new apps or updates. It does not give me an error message or anything. It just shows the icon on my iPhone screen and it says waiting right underneath it; I've let it go on for a day and it never resolved anything. It was working fine before and now it doesn't. I have not changed any settings and I know my account is fine because my wife's iPhone is also setup to use my iCloud account and it works without problems. I donnot want to reset my iPhone as it is currently set up just the way I need it; both peronal and work stuff. It would be a pain in the rear if I had to reset everything. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Update to my post.
I called customer Apple support and now my phone works without a problem.
Here's what I had to do:
Try resetting network connections. If that does not work go to next step below.
Connect your iPhone to your computer
Open iTunes (probably opens automatically)Back up your iPhone to your computer
Restore iPhone to factory settings (this is what I did. you can skip this step if you're feeling lucky and go straight to the next step). Try to download from app store, if it works, your set; go to next step.Try right clicking on your iPhone an the left menu (iTunes) if you don't see the right options on your screen
Restore iPhone from previous file (iTunes)
My iPhone did not restore my downloaded apps, no worries, just go to bought apps on the app store/iTunes and download apps into iTunes. After that, just sync your iPhone to iTunes and your apps should be there.
I hope that helps, that's what I had to do. I was able to reset my iPhone and all my settings to the way it was before restoring. I did not loose anything but it took about 2 hours.

I cannot download from iTunes to iPod

For days I have been trying to download from iTunes to my new iPod, but my iPod never shows up in the source list in iTunes. I had to reinstall iTunes because it was not working properly and now it works just fine, but the iPod is not listed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the iPod hardware more than a dozen times over the last two days, I have followed all the instructions I could find online for fixing computer problems, and I still cannot get it to work. If anyone has any ideas, please..I'll try anything.

Your not alone, I am having the very same difficulties and have re-installed, re-set etc etc many times. I also spent an hour on the phone to Apple who could not resolve my problem, and the store I purchased it from is just a retailer and cannot help either. It may be something on my computer doing some corrupting - but I just don't know! I am virtually at the end without a clue what to do next except take it back and forget about owning an iPod

One imac, two iphones. one account has current itunes, other side will not download current itunes. Downloaded from apple website, did not help. help?

We have one imac, two iphones, two imac/iphone user accounts. My account updated itunes and the phone quite easily. The other side will not update itunes - it shows there is an update available, then says there is not. I tried installing from the apple store. It installed, but did not change the version of itunes active on the computer (we even turned it off and on, a la Windows). SO we synced his phone with my side - it updated the OS, but otherwise restored the phone to factory settings. (he is not happy). So I tried to restore it from a backup on his side just to see what would happen, and of course it can't because the phone's software is more current that his itunes.
So we're in a maddening loop. Factory settings, no updated itunes, no access to the backups.

The feed is fine. The problem lies with the URL for the media files. I checked the latest episode; the file will play in a browser, and as you say on the iTunes Store; but when subscribing there is an error message that the file requires authentication.
This would happen if you had password-protected it, but that would also appear when playing in a browser. The use of PHP or similar to serve the files is asking for trouble - sometimes it works, sometimes it upsets either the Store or subscribing or both. In this case it would seem that either the scripting is throwing iTunes and leading it to believe that a password is required (though it's not bringing up the pane asking for one), or your server is reacting differently to requests from the iTunes application to the way it reacts to requests from the Store or a browser, where the protocol is different.
It's not an iTunes problem. Strictly you should be putting the actual URL of the file in the feed, not a script; and you may need to check your server settings top make sure it allows downloading in iTunes as well as playing elsewhere.

HT5085 I bought music on my iPhone and cannot download from the cloud to my macbook pro.

I have done this in the past with no problem. My computer is a Macbook Pro and is activated for my itunes account. I manually search or the songs Ive bought on my iphone and can see it says purchased but its grey and not clickable. I dont understand why I cannot download them from the cloud into my computer.

What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage
Or if you want music that you buy on your phone to automatically download on your phone then you can use automatic downloads : Store tab in iTunes > Preferences (command-comma) - that will only apply to new purchases made after you turn it 'on'

I have anew ipad but my iTunes is on my old device . I cannot download anything from iTunes onto my new device until I have authorized it . iTunes advice is ' go to iTunes and find AUTHORIZE'. I cannot find this . Please help.

If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

HT1527 Cannot download from itunes store because store thinks i don't have 10.6.1

I get this error saying i cannot download the requested item because i don't have itunes 10.6.1. I do have - it is the 64 bit edition, windows home premium 64 is my OS. Appears store checks for 32 bit and ignores presence of 64 bit itunes.

However, I can no longer access the iTunes store as the PC just sits there in limbo.

IPhone won't download from iTunes

Ah, if that's the case (which it could be) or if it was pulled too early, you may want to restore the device:

Cannot download from iTunes store

Due to a severe crash that affected my computer and TM back-up I lost all my music. The iTunes music store was so kind to give me the possibility to re-download all my purchases.
But when I click 'store -> check for available downloads' iTunes asks for my password and starts spinning for a while and then I get a message that either there is an error in the Store and the connection got lost, or I get the message that the store is unavailable at the moment and I should try later.
I can see when I clcik the download pane (in the short time it shows during the 'spinning') that there are 766 items waiting to be downloaded, but I cannot connect to them. I tried this with several computers (running OS 10.6 and 10.7 and Windows), latest iTunes software, even diiferent locations (different internet connections). All the same. It looks like something is blocking this amount of downloads and resulting in a timeout. Even new purchases will be blocked from downloading (there is one purchase 'pre-ordered' among the downloads that I never downloaded yet, but I have paid for).
The iTunes support that were initially very helpfull has given up on my problem. So I got stuck now with a blocked, and therefore useless account and still '766 items to download'
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks,
Jos
