Two itune accounts with two iphones but we want to share each other's music

Hello,
My husband and I both have Iphones and two separate itunes accounts.  Our PC's are set up on home sharing so the music we download is in our itunes library, however, I can't seem to move anything he's purchased on to my phone.  How can we do this?

Use Home Sharing to copy the music from his iTunes library to yours (unless you've already done so).  Authorize your computer for the Apple ID used to purchase this music (Store>Authorize this Computer) and you should be able to sync the music to your phone.

    I have two Ipods and want to set up two Itune accounts with two different libraries.  Can this be done?

    You can, but switching iTunes libraries and store accounts is generally more hassle than it is worth. You can sync each device with selected purchases and if you have more than one iOS device disable the option to Automatically include new apps, then apps purchased on one device won't automatically load onto the other.

  • HT4623 I updated my phone today on a shared itunes account ( with my daughter ).  We are both getting each other's messages now.  Seems to be tied to I message.  Any suggestions?

    I updated my phone today on our family itunes account.  I currently have the iphone 4 and needed updates. At the end of the update I got a message that my phone info would now be the same as my daughter's ( who usually uses the itune account). I didn't have a yes or no option. It was a statement.  Now I am getting her text messgaes and she is getting mine if the other person has imessage.  I also got her app's when my phone updated.... HELP!

    Hi, jandmmiller. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This issue would be caused by both devices sharing an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime.  I would recommend signing out of iMessage on his device.  Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.  Once this is done, I would recommend creating a new Apple ID specifically for iMessage and FaceTime here.  Then he would need to sign in to iMessage and FaceTime with the new Apple ID.

    I have two itunes accounts with two Apple ID's how can I combine them?

    It's not currently possible to merge accounts, nor to transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that bought/downloaded it.

  • HT1491 I have two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's.  How can I merge them into one?

    I ahve two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's.  How can I merge them into one account?

    Apple has no provisions for this. You cannot merge multiple Apple ID's into one ID. Content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

  • I have two different accounts with I-tunes and I want to link both purchases for my music to one account. How can I do this?

    I have two different accounts with I-tunes and I want to link both purchases for my music to one account. How can I do this?

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • Have been told if you use the same itunes account with two iphone you will receive each others text messages, is this true

    Have been told if you use the same itunes account on two iphones, you will receive each others text messages, is this true?

    you can use the same itunes id for purchases and so on, but have separate icloud id's for imessaging and all the icloud stuff. it's not preferable, but it isn't a problem either.

  • Can I share one itunes account with two computers?

    I have an itunes account set up with one email address. It was originally set up on a PC and my two daughters have Ipods that are synched to this computer. I finally got my own ipod (yea!) and want to use it with my macbook. I tried to download songs using the same email and my purchased songs were not able to be played on the macbook. Can I share this account or do I need to set up a separate Itunes account for the macbook?

    eyeinit,
    You can authorize your iTunes account on up to 5 computers at a time.
    However, purchased music is downloaded to the first machine to download it, but these articles have more information on moving your music between authorized computers:

    This one is for moving all your music using an iPod as a storage drive

    Hope this helps,

  • Set up itunes account with two different credit cards

    Is it possible to set up an existing iTunes Store Account with two different credit cards?
    I am currently registered with a personal card but wish to make one purchase for work (Lion OS) using a company credit card.
    many other sites let you choose what card to pay from, multiple addresses, etc. but I don't see any options from apple site.
    for this purchase I am considering:
    1. going into the "edit payment information".
    2. editing all the info related to the company card and address.
    3. completing the purchase and download
    4. going back to the payment info and putting back my original personal informaton.
    there must be an easier way -- or is this the only apple offering.
    any advice appeciated. TIA.

    This is incorrect.
    It is very clearly for people with a single iTunes account and they want to use multiple credit cards for purchases on that single iTunes account.
    If I had one iTunes account with multiple credit cards registered (which again, is what this discussion is in reference to),
    Huh? You just wrote it was NOT that.
    I bought Lion through my company, which means I logged into the App Store with my company's credentials, of which I have my company credit card registered.
    You mean your company paid for it. You are simply the one who did the purchasing using company funds.
    I now have a new iMac of which I want to install Lion.  Apple allows you to install this same install multiple times on your own personal machines.  I had to remember which account I bought Lion on so that I logged into the App Store correctly.  If I would have logged into my new iMac with my personal account, I would have then bought Lion again, of which I didn't want to do.
    But you did not purchase Lion with your personal account. It was purchased on your business account.
    If you want Lion on your persona/home computers, you will need to purchase it.
    I also wanted to install iPhoto.  I bought iPhoto on my personal account.  I had to then log out of the app store from my company account and log back in using my personal account to install iPhoto or I would have just bought iPhoto with my company's credit card, of which I would have been in a good amount of trouble.
    Imagine if I bought 3 or 4 apps a week and these apps were scattered across my business account and my personal account.  Each time I wanted to install these apps on one of my multiple machines in my  house, I would have to remember which account I bought the app on. or go to my purchases or which there could possibly be dozens of apps in each account.
    I would hope that your company requires you to track purchases you have made with their money.
    And I would think that you would want to keep track of all business purchases so you can get reimbursed (for the purchases you made on their behalf). If/when you leave the company, they can get company owned software that you purchased with their funds.

  • Sharing one itunes account with two computers

    I used to share my itunes account with my sister and our ipods were synched to one computer. We now have two new computers and would still like to continue to share that account. Is it possible to open the same account on two separate computers?

    Explain how you transfer content manually.
    Control-click or right-click it in iTunes, choose Get Info, locate the music files, move them to the other computer's hard disk as you would any other type of file, and then drag them into the open iTunes window. By default on a Mac, dragging them to the open iTunes window also copies them to the hard disk.
