Here is the setup that i want and want to know if it is possiable and if so how. So my parents have the iTunes account password and the reason that they will not tell me is becuase there is a credit card tied to it and don't want to to spend more than i need (even though we only use gift cards), so i see where they are coming from, and i agree with them. So my idea is to have two accounts. The main account, which holds all of the media that we bought, like music movies and apps, and then make another iTunes account for the iPod Touch that i will know the password to and can get free apps and put my own gift cards on so i will have my own 'gift card money' and becuase i won't enter a credit card on this account i cannot overspend more than my gift card has. The only catch is when i sync it back to my iMac which has all the iPod's/iPad is connected to and the family accounted synced to it wilcan i authrize the computer to be with 'my' account so that it will show u[p as able to by synced and that teh free and paid apps that i buy with mu money wil be able to be authorized to be played or used with the family account so everyone can use the content i buy?

Yes...
You can have multiple accounts on the iTunes in the computer.
Log out of one account and then sign in with the other account.
No...
You can only sync your iPod Touch to one account at a time.
If you sync to one account, then everything on the iPod Touch that was from the other account will be deleted on the iPod Touch.
It would probably be best for you just to have your own account and stay with it.
You have your items and the other account(s) have their items...
😟 okay thank you for your help, but my one question is we don't use the credit card at all just gift cards, so does the apple id need to have a credit card tied to it, becuase like i said it is a ligitament reason to not have the password avaliable...
