Go to Settings &gt; iTunes &amp; App Store and then down at the bottom make sure music and apps are both off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-understands-itunesapple-accountiphones#post-2201764 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 08:26:01 +0000 runnerd 2201764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We shared IDs until recently when they added the family share. If you don't want to change accounts though, there is a setting in iCloud where you can turn off the syncing between devices </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-understands-itunesapple-accountiphones#post-2201759 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 08:21:59 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2201759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I would make an appointment and ask them to walk you through it! Its really not terribly hard. </p> <p>1. Create new iTunes account.<br /> 2. Add new account to your phone and computer (you will have to reconfigure stuff)<br /> 3. Family share so you can still get to your old apps and documents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-understands-itunesapple-accountiphones#post-2201698 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 06:54:35 +0000 ms.line 2201698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Just so you know, the Genius Bar will still help you even if your stuff it out of warranty. If your device needed some major repair, you'd have to pay, but they're happy to help you diagnose problems or walk you through software for free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-understands-itunesapple-accountiphones#post-2201663 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 00:32:56 +0000 birdofafeather 2201663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Yep, family share! I have two iTunes accounts associated with my music/apps (so effing annoying!) and they can't merge accounts (I called and spoke to someone) but she suggested family share so I did that with my two accounts and DH's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-understands-itunesapple-accountiphones#post-2201614 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 21:38:16 +0000 twodoghouse 2201614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We shared our iTunes account up until recently when I got a new phone and the guy at the phone store basically forced me to get my own Apple ID. I set up the family sharing and it works perfectly. Message me on FB if you need help. I can probably sort of remember how I did it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-understands-itunesapple-accountiphones#post-2201594 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 21:10:14 +0000 Mae 2201594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellocupcake: @charlotte: thanks! I'll look into that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-understands-itunesapple-accountiphones#post-2201574 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 20:35:35 +0000 charlotte 2201574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, like@hellocupcake says, set up a new account and then set up family sharing! We just did it so we don't have to both buy Daniel tiger on both accounts. ;) <a href="https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/" rel="nofollow">https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-understands-itunesapple-accountiphones#post-2201573 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 20:34:12 +0000 hellocupcake 2201573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can't you just make a new account and add your husband into your "family" and only share whatever stuff is yours? My husband and i have our own accounts but because I'm in his "family" I can download anything he's paid for onto my phone only if I actually go through and download it. It won't just download or sync to his stuff. IDK if that makes sense. Good luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-understands-itunesapple-accountiphones#post-2201572 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 20:23:45 +0000 Mae 2201572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: It's been annoying over the years for a variety of reasons, but mostly because his stuff keeps invading my phone. He downloads a lot of apps and buys a lot of music and it just appears on my phone sucking up space and I'm sick of constantly running out of space and having to go through and delete things. </p> <p>My phone is way out of warranty at this point, as is my computer. My husband has a newer phone so I guess maybe we could make an appointment under his phone's warranty to ask our questions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-understands-itunesapple-accountiphones#post-2201565 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 20:14:46 +0000 regberadaisy 2201565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You will lose anything you paid for because it's linked to that iTunes account. Why do you want out? DH and I have always shared an iTunes account. It's only become annoying recently because of certain changes they made. Now if our phones are close together if certain people call him both of our phones ring. But I changed a FaceTime setting and it's s non issue now.</p> <p>Maybe schedule an appointment at the apple Genius Bar? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-understands-itunesapple-accountiphones#post-2201532 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 19:35:56 +0000 Mae 2201532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my husband and I are dumb. When we first moved in together for reasons neither of us can remember, we combined iTunes accounts. We're like those couples who share an email and you want to be like... don't you know email is free? </p> <p>It was fine at first but has become a big headache for a lot of reasons. We are SO over it. I want out. 95% of the music is his so I'd like to just abandon the account, create my own, and just add the music I want from our physical collection.</p> <p>But we don't really know how that works? I understand how to create my new library. But in terms of my computer and iPhone...? I bought my computer and they plugged in my iTunes id (which I guess is just my apple id?) as the one for my computer. And my phone obviously syncs to that. Will I lose all my apps if I get new iTunes and sync to that? Will it f up anything on my computer? Like programs I've purchased and stuff? This feels like it shouldn't be so hard... </p>
