Would like to separate my Itunes account from rest of the family

I have one apple iTunes account for my family(myself with two daughters). This has become quite a mess as I am now receiving all
of their updates, and I'm not able to backup my iphone anymore. What I would like to do is to separate my account completely from theirs
without losing data(I realize that I would probably have to use a new email). I would still like for them to be able to make purchases under
their current account.
    Thanks in advance for helping the techno illiterate!!!

1)  It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

2)  See Here... How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

Basically...Create a New User Account for each User.
Then Each user will have their own iTunes library..

  • I just got an ipad 2.  i would like to transfer my itunes account from my old PC onto the ipad.  is it possible to do so?  a lot of the music on my itunes came from some of my old CD's and is backed up by the PC's hard drive.  is it worth it?

    Is this worth it or should i just keep my old PC around as back up.  I need some guidance.  Thanks!

    If at all possible, keep the pc alive.  You will need a place to backup your stuff that will not go to the cloud.  If your pc supports the current version of I tunes, then load it up and make that your central storage place.   If your problem is simply lack of disk space on the pc, external USB drives are pretty cheap.
    In any event, you will need I tunes to get the non purchased music o to your pad, so you will need a pc at some point.

  • I would like to share my iTunes account with another user

    I would like to share my itunes account on the same Mac with a different user. I do not see the shared folder in itunes sidebar

    Just plug the iPod in and open iTunes. It will the iPod will show in the devices section of the iTunes sidebar. Click on the iPod go to the summary tab and set you syncing options. You can do this for as many iPods/iPhones/iPads as you like.

  • Need to move my iTunes account from UK to the US and getting a message that I need to cancel Match.

    I have moved to the US and want to switch my iTunes account from the UK store to the US to get geo restricted content and start paying in dollars.  But I'm getting a message that I need to cancel iTunes Match first.  I just signed up a month ago so don't want to throw money away just to switch to iTunes Match in the US.  Would appreciate any thoughts on how to "transfer" my Match service.

    same thing here but i wrote to apple and told them i didnt care cancelling my itunes match account so that i could change country, and they told me it wasnt possible, that i had to wait a hole year for the subscription to end..

  • I am sharing a account with my mother. I would like to change my itune account to a separate account. How can I do that without affecting her itune account?

    I share a itune account with my mother.  I would like to set up my own itune account keeping all my info and library from my itune account.  How do I go about setting up my own account without affecting her account and her itunes?  It seems if she gets a new app it appears on my phone and visa versa.  After I change my account will there be a problem syncing it with my phone and ipad?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
    Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

  • I am a first-time mac user.  I recently purchased the MacBook Air.  My previous computer was an HP laptop, but I would like to move my iTunes library from the hp to the MacBook Air.  How do I do this?

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • HT3819 I have a new HP computer and would like to transfer my iTunes library from my old PC

    I have been trying to transfer my iTunes library from my old PC to our new HP PC (Windows 8.1). We did back up our old PC files to an external harddrive but the iTunes files are 'jumbled'when I open them on the new PC and not in any format - only streams of titles etc., Is there a simple way to transfer my library to the new PC. My iPod has my library on it - can I syn from iPod to PC? Thankyou for any suggestions/help I can get.

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

  • Would like to exclude some email accounts from email count/noti​fications

    I have an email account on my Z10 that I don't want any notification or count on the main screen.  I can exclude the email from the Hub but it still notifies me on the main screen that I have email.  It would be nice to exclude this so that I could check it once a day or as needed without being notified of every bit of spam that comes to this account.

    Open your Hub.
    Touch the bottom right three dots overflow icon.
    Touch Settings
    Touch Hub Management
    For the email account you do NOT want to see in the Hub, turn it off.
    When you want to see that email, simply reverse that setting and turn it on.

  • How do I move my iTunes Store account from Canada to the US?

    I recently moved from Canada to the US, but when I try to change my iTunes account from Canada to the US, I get an error: "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed." I've followed the instructions over and over, and contacted iTunes Store support, but it keeps happening. I've even de-authorized all the devices I had authorized for the account, and yet that still didn't fix the problem.
    This has been going on for three weeks and I'm getting totally exasperated. Apple has been totally unhelpful.
    Help?

    Adam,
    Get in touch with iTunes Customer Service at their web page.
    When you write to them, pls follow these guidelines:
    Do not refer to the prior interactions.  Explain the problem without emotion.
    Make clear that you have already executed the "Change Country" to the USA iTunes Store.
    Make clear that you are using a USA-issued credit card with a USA billing address, and that you were physically in the USA when you attempted to use it at the iTunes Store.
    Make clear that you have successfully used this same card at other e-commerce sites in the USA.  (If this is not already true, make it true by buying an MP3 for 99 cents at amazon.com)
