Two iTunes accounts on one mac.

My wife and I share a Mac mini with all of our music. We both sync our iPods to the same iTunes, meaning that we don't have different accounts for the computer. She has an apple ID attached to her credit card and I have a separate ID. Sometimes when she goes to buy things through the App store on her iPod Touch it prompts her for my Apple password and sometimes I am prompted for hers on my iPod Touch. How can we keep the accounts associated with the appropriate iPods?

Hey, i have (should i say HAD) the same question!

  • Can I have two iTunes accounts on one Mac?

    Can I share my Mac with my wife so that we can both sync our iTunes accounts. I do not want us to get music or contacts crossed. Thanks
    RES

    Yes.  The easiest way is to create separate user account for each of you and log into iTunes with the appropriate AppleID in that account.  Purchases, contacts, calendars, devices, etc will be kept entirely separate in the two accounts.
    There is one caveat.  You can each play your content, purchase content, and sync your devices; however, only one AppleID *per computer* (NOT per account) may re-download content (including auto-download) or subscribe to Match. : That AppleID may only change once every 90 days.  It's a moronic rule that most people are unaware of until they get burned by it.

  • Two iPhones, two iTunes accounts, only one Mac

    I am sure hoping there is a simple way to use my iphone, my wife's iphone, our own separate iTunes accounts [and music libraries] on one MAC. How do you set that up and keep it all in synch??? Please help?
    Thanks!

    My wife and I have done that, and yes, it gives you two separate music libraries, two separate address books, two separate calendars, etc.
    In fact, many (but not all) of our contacts are the same; many (but not all) of our calendar entries are the same; many (but not all) of our iPhone apps are the same, etc. Is there a convenient way to sync some of this stuff, or keep some of it in a shared database?
    And it's sort of a pain having to know my wife's App Store password as well as mine, just because sometimes my phone develops the misapprehension that it should be synced with her account rather than mine (or vice versa).

  • Can you have two itunes accounts on one mac

    My husband bought a mac book pro with a larger screen and I have his smaller screen mac pro. His itunes are on my mac book pro. Do I have to delete his itunes to add mine? He has his itunes on his new mac book pro and iphone.  Thanks!

    Yes, you can. Use separate Mac OS X user accounts, or launch iTunes with the Option key held down and switch between libraries as needed.

  • 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?

  • I would like the share an iTunes library between two different accounts on one Mac. How do I do this?

    iTunes no longer works properly (aka at all) while using one of the user accounts set up on my iMac. It does, however, work when logging in under another user account on the same iMac. (if any of you can help me solve this issue that would be perfect). If there is no solution can anyone help with my request to share an iTunes library between two different accounts on one Mac. How do I do this?

    that works for anything he purchases after he creates the new account.  What about his current music that currently resides in my itunes library?  How can I get his current music out of my library into his new account/library??  Thanks..
    Copy it to his computer into his iTunes library and authorize his computer with the iTunes account used to purchase them..
    You cannot tranfser items from one iTunes account to another. Purchased items remain part of the iTunes account is was purchased with.
    iTunes account - used to purchase items
    iTunes library - where purchases (and CD RIPs) go on the computer

    How can I have two itunes accounts on one computer?

    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.

  • How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    Items purchased from the iTunes Store are permanently associated with the account from which they were originally purchased.  Apple provides no way to change this.
    However, if you wish to put content from two accounts into a single iTunes library, you can easily do so.  Use the command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.

  • How can my wife and I use our two iTunes account on one iPad

    How can my wife and I use our two iTunes accounts on one IPad

    Unfortunately it will be difficult. iPads are personal devices like phones and done have credentials. You can of course log out of and into the app store to download purchased apps but the iPad will then have all the apps of both your wife and you (though you could put these into folders I guess).

  • 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.

  • 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

  • HT201269 can i have two itunes accounts on one computer

    can i have two itunes accounts on one computer

    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.
