Want 2 separate itunes accounts that do not sync

I have two nanos and only one PC. I have two separate i tunes accounts. Each time I hook up one of the nanos, the full library from the other nano syncs up with the one I just connected. I want to be able to keep the two completely separate.

You will probably get better suggestions from the iTunes forum.

Receiving emails about a newly set up itunes account that does not belong to me (although has my name). The address used in connection with it seems to be in California and the person likes Justin Bieber - what's going on here?

Hi. I am receiving emails about a newly set up itunes account that does not belong to me (although has my name). The address used in connection with it seems to be in California and the person likes Justin Bieber (as I now have a receipt for that purchase). It states that it is billed to store credit. (a) I don't want to receive this person's information and (b) I certainly don't want to somehow be charged for it (although it appears, thus far, that I have not been). What's going on?

i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
do a true clean install
reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
exit disk utlity
at menu, choose install OSX
this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue

Your computer needs to be authorized with the "old" Apple ID. Pull done Store > Authorize... And type the credentials when prompted.

HT204411 Can I charge card for the iTunes account that is not a U.S.

Can I charge card for the iTunes account that is not a U.S.

Hi ...
Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

Try signing out of your iTunes account (scroll to bottom in the app), then sign in again.

My wife and I both have iPads and two separate iTunes accounts, and do NOT want to share apps

My wife and I share one MacBook. We both each have an iPad and we each have our own indvidual iTunes accounts. That is we have two separate individual iPads and two separate iTunes accounts. I do not want her apps on my iPad, and she does not want my apps on her iPad.
When my wife tries to update her apps on her iPad, it shows my user ID and requests my password. It does not even give her an option to put in her own iTunes account ID and password. This happens even though she is clearly logged in on her iPad under Settings --> Store with her own iTunes account, and have the same setup on my iPad (my own user ID and password for my iTunes account). I do not have this problem on my iPad.
How do we keep our apps separate? This is very annoying!
Thanks!

There's info here on setting up separate libraries and user accounts. You won't have to reload (or re-import) all the music, just copy it.
The reason I suggest separate accounts on the Mac is because if you have the two libraries under the same user account, iTunes will also open the last library that was open in that account, and you'll always have to be mindful of which library that is. If you open iTunes and find it's not your library, you'll have quit, relaunch holding the option key and select the other library.
No, you won't have to log in and out of the Mac. (If I'm understanding your question here.) Multiple accounts can be logged in at the same time. And with fast user switching, you can toggle between user accounts.
I'll admit that maintaining the two libraries gets a little tricky, because if you share all the same music, you'll have to add it to one and update the other. (That won't happen automatically.) But I think Home Sharing makes this much easier to do.
Hope that helps!

How do I transfer music from an iPod to a new computer, with an existing iTunes account that is not mine, or to an iPad??

My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library and music. The music is however on my iPod 5th Generation. How do I move my music to my husbands computer, where he has his own music....or how do I transfer or add my music from my iPod to my iPad?
I also lost all my gift card money on my iTunes account. Can I add my iTunes account to a computer that already has an iTunes account?

I have read this, but it does not help. My crashed computer had my iTunes library with MY iTunes ID. The new computer and iPad that i want to transfer my music to, that is on my iPod, is under a different iTunes account. Can I still transfer my music from my iPod to a new computer that has a different ID?

I'm trying to restore a new ipod but it keeps asking me for the passwords of itunes accounts that are not mine.

It is trying to restore my new ipod from the backup cloud, but it keeps asking me for the passwords of three different itunes accounts, two i know are my friends accounts and I don;t even know whoose the third is. I must have some of their music on my library or something, but it won't backup without these passwords it seems. Is there a way to get around this? I have the music in my Itunes library and can listen to it all I want and burn it on cds but I cant get it to go on my ipod without their passwords. Can i switch it and just have it sync to my computer and not this icloud? My other ipod didnt ask me for these passwords when I tried to sync it.

If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

HT204088 I have purchases on my iTunes account that are not mine. Where could this be coming from?

I keep getting charged for purchases that are not mine. I don't know where they are coming from and I checked my childrens accounts. Where could they be coming from?

Hello there duxmania,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I have a couple of recommendations for you here. First for the purchases that you did not authorize, I would reach out to the iTunes store support directly.
How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1933

Click Report a Problem under the app that is having the issue.
When prompted, enter the Apple ID and password you used to purchase the item, then click Report a Problem.
Click Report a Problem next to the item you are having an issue with.
From the Choose Problem dropdown menu, choose the appropriate issue.
Follow the onscreen instructions and—if prompted—type a description of the problem into the text field.
Click Submit to have your issue reviewed.

Trying to update existing apps; will only prompt me for an old iTunes account that does not exist any more

How do I get a prompt for my new account when updating existing apps? I had used one of my sons account for most of the apps on my iPhone. I have since move up to a iPhone 4S and created my own account to use iCloud. But everytime I try to update the exiting apps I am prompted for a password to my sons account. I am logged on to iCloud with my new account at the same time.
It looks like the apps retain some kind of tag to the original account used during download.
Any help would be appreciated.

Making separate iTunes accounts without losing previously bought music

I used my Mom's account to buy songs off of iTunes for the last few years but now my Mom doesn't want me to use her iTunes giftcard to buy my songs anymore. Is there anyway I can create my own separate iTunes account that I can download my own music to WITHOUT losing the previous songs I bought under hers?
Thanks

Yes, you need to authorize the PC for both accounts. That means signing in and out of the itunes store with both accounts.
itunes menu > Store > Sign Out
Just make sure you are signed into your account when you buy stuff.
If you ever switch PCs, you will need to authorize both accounts again.

Two separate iTunes accounts on One PC running XP?

We have one family PC running Windows XP and two kids who want totally separate iTunes accounts. (I guess there's no common ground between Metal and R&B.) Can anyone help an old dad pretend he's a computer-literate genius in the eyes of his teens? Thank you in advance.

I have a second generation Nano. I have several podcasts in my itunes library that will not sync to the device. These podcasts all have a half circle icon that appears to the left of the title. Whats up?

Well I could do that but that kinda defeats the purpose of paying $600 bucks for this piece of **** that I'm supposed to be able to dump 32 gigs (well u know what I mean) of music on and manage automatically the through this supposedly wonderful piece of software that's supposed to do most of that for you. Okay I get that computers are only as smart as the people using them... Which apparently is not that smart in this case... But ya thanks for the advice that my two year old daughter could have given me. Anyone else?

Plus I need to sync all 3 of them with my work tower computer. I really appreciate you're trying to help me out.
