I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

My gen 3 iPod Touch seems to have duplicated all my music since updating to IOS 5 so that it now only holds half as much. What can I do about it? I'm using the same iTunes library with OS 10.6 and all software up to date.

Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

I don't want to sync what is on my iPod to my iPad. (I have a 32gb iPod but only 16gb on iPad. The iPod I use mostly for music.) I can't seem to add the films I have downloaded onto iPad to iTunes. If I could do that, I could erase them from iPad to create more storage.
This is intensely confusing, sorry.

"I own an iPhone4, an iPod 3rd generation and an iPad 2. I use the same iTunes library but unfortunately synced iPad with a different computer before syncing to my own. Do I risk losing the films/apps I've downloaded onto my iPad if I sync with my iPod?"
Answer.....
Yes you will lose the films that you downloaded to the iPad when you sync with your own iTunes unless you transfer the purchases into your own iTunes library. Were these movies that you purchased? If so, you might be able to download them again for free. Do you have multiple computers that you sync from or is this someone else's purchased content?
You can select whatever you want to sync to all of your devices in iTunes, you do not have to sync the same content to all device.
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad

Can I use the same iTunes library on 2 macs?

I have 2 macbooks. The audio files are stored on the external harddrive.
Does each macbook has to have its own library or can they be using the same library -- and always display the same playlists, etc.?
How do I do that?
Thanks,
Sasi

Keep all the files for the library on the ext HD. This includes the Album Art, iTunes Library file, .xml files etc.
This way any time you are opening the library it will have all the files available. Hold down the 'option' key when launching iTunes and direct the Mac to the ext HD.

Does anyone know if you can authorize 2 iPhones to control the same iTunes library using the iPhone Remote app? Or can only one iPhone be authorized at any one time?

HT202213 can two apple ids use the same itunes account?

I'm pretty new to apple products and have an itunes question. My husband and I just bought iPhones and have separate apple id's. We will also using an iPod. Is it possible to use itunes with both id's? Is there any way to share the files between both of us?

If you want to share a single AppleID with a single iTunes Library, then simply sync both devices to that iTunes library using the same user account.
If you want to sync two AppleIDs to one iTunes library, in iTunes on the computer, login and authorize each AppleID, then sync the devices to that common iTunes library in the same user account.
You do not do anything on the device being sync'd itself - it all has to do with how iTunes that you are syncing to is set up and what AppleIDs are authorized there. You can sync multiple devices to iTunes, just be sure that each device gets a unique device name in the iTunes sidebar.
To then use unique AppleIDs for iCloud and iMessage on a iOS device, first, make an iCloud account with the AppleID you want to use (go to http://www.iCloud.com), then set up that iCloud account on the device with that ID and password. In iMessage, just log out with whatever AppleID you are using now, log in with the new AppleID and it will reauthorize, now linking that device with the new iMessage account just created with that AppleID (your iMessage primary account ID is always the AppleID used to initially create and verify the iMessage account).

Can 2 iPads Use the Same iTunes???

Can you set up 2 "different" ipads on the same iTunes? Meaning I have music and movies, etc. on my iTunes on my computer. Can I plug in my wife's iPad and download "different movies, music, etc on her iPad?

HT1373 How can I make all of my devices use the same iTunes library?

I have an iMac, Macbook Air, Macbook, iPad, iPhone and an iTouch. So, as you can imagine, I have many devices that need to be on the same page at all times. I take my Air to campus with me and use it for classes, along with my iPad, so I usually plug my iPad into my laptop for updates, dowloads, transfers, charging, etc... The same with my iPhone. However, when I get home and I plug my iPad or iPhone into my iMac, it does this whole (This iPad is currently synced to another library, would you like to Erase & Sync to this library). No. I want my Air and iMac to be the same so I can plug my devices up to either of them without having to worry about erasing or adding anything that I don't want erased or added.
How, if at all, can I accomplish this?
Thanks!

You can't. An iOS device can still be synced with only one computer. That is making sense have it referer to multiple files from your computer (backup, iTunes medias, sync information).
As you will only sync your iOS with one computer, it is iCloud you need to use to keep all your content in sync. While on the go, you use your iPad for a purchase for exemple, iCloud will allow you to push that purchase to all your devices automatically. Though, it doesn't mean that it will sync with any devices.
iCloud will allow you, once properly configure, to use any documents, media, purchases, apps, bookmarks, content, calendar, email... and so one in sync from any of your devices without the assle to sync from an iOS device.

2 ipods using the same itunes library

Hi
I have just given my hubbie an Ipod Nano for xmas and he already has an old one which he is now going to use just for when he is running.
He wants to use some of the music on his current library on his old Nano and also use all of the music he has on his new larger Nano.
How does he do this so he can update his old nano from time to time but make sure his new nano has all his tunes on it?
Thanks

Hello K Barnett,
There are several different ways for handling multiple iPods with one computer or iTunes library. For more help or information regarding these methods, see this Apple support document.
[How to use multiple iPods with one computer|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495]
The way it sounds, your husband can just hook up with new Nano and set it up to sync his entire iTunes library and leave the configurations and settings for the old nano alone and continue syncing it as usual.

Mac and PC using the same itunes library?

I have my itunes library located on a NAS hard drive, which I have been accessing from my powerbook. Recently I purchased a Apple TV and was given a Dell desktop. What I would like to know is; is there a way to access one library on both a mac and pc and be able to make changes from either machines? I want the desktop just to run itunes so i don't have to have my laptop open every time i want stream content to the apple tv, but i also want to have be able to view and change my library from my powerbook. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I do exactly this - it's straightforward but the setup will be slow if you have a big library. First point iTunes at the folder on your NAS drive so that anything you rip in Windows will be stored on the NAS drive. Then - this is the slow bit - in iTunes on the Dell, do Add folder to library and browse to the iTunes music folder on the NAS drive and add that. Warning: this takes a long time - I have 7,000-odd tunes and it took - well, at least three hours: I left mine running and went to bed at that point.

Why can't I use the same itunes account on my new computer?

I have a nano and had my itunes on my old computer. It crashed. I got a new computer and when I went to download more songs to the nano, it wanted me to delete all the songs. It wouldn't let me download the songs to the new computer. Now I have an ipod touch and an iphone and would like to transfer the songs to them...how does this happen???? I really don't want to lose all those songs. Thanks

You need to use the iTunes backup you made on your old computer and restore it to the new one.

Use the same itunes library in mac book pro and win xp

Hi,
I wish to copy my itunes music, that is on my mac book pro(osx10.5.4), to an external hard drive and play it on my work pc (win xp- ituns 7).of course without loosing my original folder on the mac. can I do it? how? I tried the consolidate option on my mac and the music was copied to the HD but I cant get the win itunes to recognise it even after changing the music folder in it to the external drive.
thanks

Windows machines can't access drives formatted in Mac style. This is probably your problem. If the external was formatted to FAT32 then the windows machine could access the drive.
