Switch iTunes Accounts Easily with a Menubar Utility
Many people juggle multiple iTunes accounts for a variety of reasons, be it to access international app stores and their different content offerings, having another iTunes account without a credit card for their kids, or because you’re dodging country and timezone restrictions. We all know it’s a pain to manually log in and out of each account, which is why the iTunes Account Switcher menubar utility is so helpful.
iTunes Account Switcher is a free tool that sits in your menubar, organizes multiple iTunes logins by country, lets you add or create new accounts from within the app, and, most importantly, switch between your iTunes account simply just by selecting the new account from the menu.

This app is really helpful and addresses one of the core usability problems of iTunes; the inability to use multiple accounts without a hassle. There haven’t been many solutions to this until recently, when an Applescript showed up on that automated the account switching process, but a menubar item is even better.

Now all we need is a way to sync 2 different ios devices to the same library using different sets of apps and media for each device.
Is my username and password stored locally? or does iTunes account switcher store my details in their cloud? I don’t want them to have access to my account/credit card details…
This is a good question and I don’t know the answer for sure, but I would assume it is stored locally as I have not seen any communication from the app to any server other than Apple’s.
Can I use my iPad 2 on one account and my iPhone 4 on the other? I have my iPhone jailbroke and do not want to loose it. I want to connect my iPad 2 (that I will be receiving in the next day or so) on an account from the same Mac but it is not jailbroken. Will this work? If not, what would be my solution?
menu bar items look like: itunes switcher, unknown, air display, dropbox, byword, evernote, unknown, fantastical, sync app, cloudapp, cpu monitor, clipboard manager, spring cleaner. there’s a few I don’t identify, but that is what it looks like to me.
Yea.. I would love to know what the icons in your menubar are used for as well!
Thanks
Could you tell me what all the icons in your menubar are for?
I’m always interested in discovering new apps…
Thanks!
Thanks! Works Great! Trying to weed out some IOS apps from an old iTunes account and get them again under my current account and this makes it a lot easier to switch back forth with the accounts. Good instructions with the installer to for putting the script in.

Crowded menubar is crowded.
Totally unusable, plus all that clutter slows down your Mac. Bad idea.
This is great! It makes me crazy that each country App Store is different, why not have each be the same? It would prevent most from switching accounts.
