I created a new iTunes account on my iPhone and every time I try to update any of the apps, the passcode request reverts to my husbands or it states my password is incorrect so I create a new one and the cycle continues.
iPhone 4S
Do you mean that the account id shows your husband's id ? All items that are downloaded from the store are tied to the account that downloaded them - if those apps were downloaded by you husband's account then only his account can download updates to them.
If they were downloaded by your account then try logging out of your account by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in.
(Generally if you change your account's password you might need to then log out and back into it on any devices that it's used on so as to 'refresh' the account on them.)
Thanks,
I did as you suggested about. The problem now is that when I try to update any installed apps on my phone that I myself added, a sing in to iTunes box appears and wants me to enter my husband's password even though I have entered all of my information and password into the settings? Should I just take it into an Apple Store and see what they can do?
How did you add the apps to the phone, by downloading them, with your account logged into the store, directly on your phone , or by syncing them from a computer's iTunes - in which case whose account downloaded them onto that computer ?

Delete the apps and download them again, using your ID this time.
I loaded the apps directly to my phone but the initial account set up on the computer belongs to my husband. I created a new user name, password, and he created a new account via our shared computer.
What will happen then when I have to update the app? Will it revert back to my password or my husband's?
Also, it appears that I do have some of the shared songs we loaded onto our phones via computer (syncing them) appears to have also occurred for the music only.
If you mean that you downloaded them directly on your phone, then whose account was logged into the store on the phone when you downloaded them ? If your husband's account then they will be tied to his account, and only his account will be able to download updates to them - you would have to delete the apps (which will delete their content) and redownload them with your account for them to be linked to your account and to be able to download future updates using your account.
If you synced them from your computer then similar to above, they will be tied to the account that downloaded them from the store on that computer's iTunes
I see. I did use his account to load the apps. Will I incur any problems with the music if I just leave it as is?
Music that you have in the iTunes library of the computer that you synced the iPad to can be copied to your iPad if you selected it - if you don't want that music on your iPad then reconnect the iPad to the computer and change your music sync options
With the music then if it was bought from the iTunes store then it will remain tied to the account that downloaded them from the store. If it was copied from CDs or bought from elsewhere and added to the iTunes library then it won't be linked to an iTunes account
Thanks so much for your assistance!
How do I correct my iTunes passcode from reverting to my husband's password when I update app?
