I would like to know the answer to this too

If you all want to keep using the same iTunes then you'll need to log in and out of the store depending on what account you use.

Near the top right of the iTunes Store window should be your username. You should be able to click on it and sign out, then you can log in with another account.

Buying music will be fine, it's not protected and locked to one account.

However I'm really not sure about what happens with apps and/or videos... This method will at least let you create another account and for that account to have its own credit.

oh god we had this - dd had one set up with my email address and then ds got an ipod. when i connected his, the itunes account came up with his ipod on it, and started downloading everything to his ipod. Mid way thro i stopped it, and changed the account details to dds email and card. Then set up a new one with my email address for ds - however, his account still has all of her stuff on it, and I could add his one new album to hers via his account. Not sure what would happen if we didn't want to share - but her credit is on her account not his.

If you're using one iTunes library with multiple accounts then the default options is that any iOS device that you allow to automatically sync with iTunes will take the music from all of those accounts. Automatically managing the music is telling iTunes to make each iOS device linked to it look like what is in iTunes, which will therefore include the music bought by different accounts but within the same library.

If you don't want that to happen then you can play with the sync options for each device. Or you can set up a completely new log on for each user on the computer and then each one will get their own "copy" of iTunes with their own private library.

Thank you ! Seems really complicated, but I suppose it doesn't matter if they share.
