Why does the itunes wifi show it is connected to my PC for all the devices we have when my husband has his own Apple ID, since we updated to Icloud with our own ID's

since upgrading to Icloud, all the devices in our house show in Itunes Wifi they are all linked to my PC, although we have set them up with our own individual accounts, my husband is unable to sync his Iphone, Ipod & ipad to the music in his itunes, as it wants to connect to mine any one any ideas

You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours.  If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for).  You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

  • HT2242 Why does my Itunes store show up in Japanese/kanji when I've got my language specified as English?

    Why does my itunes store show up in Kanji/Japanese when my language and country selections are in English?

    I'd like to add one more thing.  I need to update my iPod as I'm using version 1.0.2 PC -- Before I do this, I'd like to back up my iPod.  As I noted above, I am afraid of doing something and accidentally wiping out my iPod (since that's where everything seems to be).

  • HT204053 I have different icloud and iTunes id's and I want to do homesharing for all my devices. I'm trying to set up a new iMac but homesharing is not working. SHould it be the itunes or iCloud id?

    I have different icloud and iTunes id's and I want to do homesharing for all my devices. I'm trying to set up a new iMac but homesharing is not working. Should it be the itunes or iCloud id?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Preferably your iTunes account, but it shouldn't really matter for getting homesharing turned on, as long as it's a valid ID.

    Your profile indicates your Mac is running v10.7.2
    If that is correct, updating your system software may help.
    Click Software Update from the Apple menu.
    Restart your Mac after updates are installed then try the App Store.
    If you can't update that way, there's a workaround.
    Install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
    Then restart your Mac and try the App Store.

  • Why does my itunes summary show so much in the 'other' tab

    while tryng to synch my iphone, it told me i didnt have enough room for my 5 new songs, that i need over 3mb to do this. then i took a whole bunch of stuff off my phone including ALL of my music, (and fb!)and the 'other' in my summary tab shot up to 7.14 gb!!!! that's almost half my 16 gb! what does the 'other' tab mean?

    Hey ridgegirl,
    Try out these steps to resolve the issue:
    Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
    Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
    If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
    Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
    Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
    Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
    Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
    If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
    Restore using iTunes.

  • Why does my iTunes library show up to be different sizes?

    I have about 2600 songs in my iTunes library. At the bottom of the iTunes library window, it says there are 2600 songs, 13.03gb. All of these songs fit on my 16gb iTouch.
    Now, when i go to finder>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music the folder is 114gb!
    WHY IS THIS SOOOO MUCH LARGER?
    It's the same contents that are in my iTunes library!

    Selecting Music in iTunes will show only your music.
    Selecting Music>iTunes>iTunes Music in the Finder shows everything in iTunes including music, movies, audiobooks, podcasts,TV Shows, etc.
    Go to Music>iTunes>iTunes Music>Music and this is only the music files.

  • Why does my iTunes crash every time I connect a particular device and only that device?

    I am trying to switch from an iPhone 5 to a 5s. (The 5s is a company phone and was previously used by another employee.) The instant I connect the 5s to my computer I get a popup that says "iTunes has stopped working" and then the program closes. My iTunes works perfectly fine when I connect the 5 or any other device, so the issue must be with the phone. Why does this happen? How can I fix this?
    I did notice when I connect the 5 to my commuter and I open devices two items show up, iPhone and a USB Apple one. When I connect the 5s only the USB Apple device shows up. The iPhone device does not. 

    1. Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data
    2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

  • I Just upgraded to the lastest iTunes version, why does my iTunes freeze every time I connect my iPod but yet it still plays music?

    I've never had this problem before but since I've updated my iTunes, it freezes as soon as my iPod gets connected. Ever more strange, the music plays in the background but yet iTunes is frozen. Any help?

    It appears that my iTunes is recignizing my iPod as an iPhone for some reason...could that be the problem?

  • Why does an email not show as read in Mail (Mail 5.2 on Lion 10.7.3) when i read it outside of Mail?

    I use google apps at work thus have a gmail email address.  I have the setting in iCloud set to sync mail but when i read an email on my iphone (or even when i log into gmail directly) it does not show as a read email in Mail.  I would very much like to use Mail on my laptop, but having to read every email multiple times has stopped me from doing so.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello,
    Do you use IMAP settings in Mail on your laptop or is it POP ? The first one is recommanded for what you want and it will sync between devices.
    And check again your preferences in Gmail to see if everything is correct and if IMAP is activated.

  • Why does my itunes page default to Spanish not English?

    Why does my iTunes page default to Spanish?

    This is often due to the fact that your account is not synced with the new iTunes Radio capabilities, and you have to sign-out and sign in to retreive the new capabilities.
    Visit the Store menu and sign out... , and then sign in ... and try again.
