Can i use 2 devices on the same itunes

i have just recieved a new iphone 3gs and i have given my girlfriend my old 3g. i was wondering if there was any way i could transfer the stuff from old phone to my new one and add it on to the itunes i have already.
help please

Yres you can use as many devices as you like with one library, each one will have it's own settings and be recognised as a unique device by iTunes: How to use multiple iPods/iPhones with one computer
If you have songs on the old phone that aren't in iTunes you need to copy them back to the library and then add them to the new one. iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
For everything else (music from CDs etc.) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

    Would it be possible for me to download iTunes in Parallels and get the files into that and then onto my iPod?
    Yes, you can download iTunes for Windows using Parallels. If planning on making purchases here and/or authorizing already purchased tracks (from your Mac iTunes library), you are permitted to authorize five (5) computers as per iTunes Store terms of use, regardless of computing platform. No need to create a separate new iTunes Store account.
    However, judging from what you would like to do, your best bet would be to convert the WMAs to AAC/MP3 in iTunes-Windows (iTunes-Mac cannot import WMA files), and drag the files from the Parallels window to your desktop to add to the iTunes-Mac library. (as the iPod itself is currently linked to your iTunes-Mac library)
    Hope this helps,

  • HT1719 Can more than one device access the same ITunes library?

    Can more than one device acess the same ITunes library?  And if so, does each device's list of songs remain separate and distinct for each device?

    No problems whatsoever. I have 3 iPhones and 3 iPod touches with different IOS connected.

  • HT201304 It would be tremendously helpful to be able to access, set restrictions, and make changes from the parents device to all devices under the same iTunes account, so that I could make changes to my kids devices without physical access.

    Please help!
    It would be tremendously helpful to be able to access, set restrictions, and make changes from the parents device, to all devices under the same iTunes account, so that I could make changes to my kids devices without physical access.
    I understand that I can set up a different Apple ID for the kids devices, or take physical control of the device and make the changes myself. However, my teenage son is technically savvy enough to have a job in Silicon Valley, as are most young people these days. However, in order to access his devices the current way, I first have to bypass the four digit pass code. This starts a fight of why I need in the device and continues to escalate. The argument that I am the parent will gain access but the fight is simply exhausting, and quite frankly shouldn't have to happen at all. He is not yet an adult, he did not pay for his iPad or iPhone and I, as a parent, should have not only have the right to change options at will, and from anywhere, but look at history or current activity when I feel like it.
    I currently have the settings where app and in-app purchases require my password to be put in, and he must come to me to type it in, but I need more control and would like, and should be able to access any of our six devices and make individual changes simply by logging in to my account, with my password.
    If I can see all my devices on the "Lost My iPhone" app, this technology should be easy to make happen.
    C'mon parents! I have a pretty good kid, given all things that they can get into, but I am not stupid. For everything I see has been done, there is much more I haven't seen. I want my children to be kept safe and be able to know what they are looking at or listening to. We parents are the only ones who know our beliefs and what our kids can handle and when.
    Thanks for any support or information that I may be missing in order to fulfill my request.

    There are mobile device management solutions that can do this, including in Apple's OS X Server system, but most parents generally find that setting this up is more work than it's worth. If you're interested, though, there are a couple that at least purport to be free (I don't know if there are any hidden "gotchas"):

    https://meraki.cisco.com/products/systems-manager
    and Apple's system:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/server/features/#profile-manager
    I don't think any, however, allow you to see current activity or browser history. iOS doesn't expose those to access from MDM solutions, to the best of my knowledge.
    Regards.

  • HT204053 i need to know how to separate different devices on the same itunes account

    I need to kow how to seperate different devices on the same itunes account

    Each of you should have their own iCloud account  which could be set up in "Settings > iCloud" (and if you asking me also for iMessage and FaceTime), but you could still use the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases which could be set up in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" so that you only have to purchase each app or other media once.

  • Need to know of a method / process that can be used to send the same msg to all those appearing in my email listings with the same extension after the "@" sign in their address(es) on my macbook [e.g., with "@gov.ca"; Snow Leopard].

    Need to know of a method / process that can be used to send the same msg to all those appearing in my email listings with the same extension after the "@" sign in their address(es) on my macbook [Snow Leopard].

    If you simply want to send the exact same message to everyone in your address book with emails ending in "@whatever.com", you can do the following:
    Create an email with subject, message and attachments but no addresses
    Open Address Book, All Contacts
    Search in Address Book for @whatever.com
    Select the results and drag them into the To: or Bcc: field of the email. If Bcc: then put your email address in the To: field.
    Send the email
    This will not personalize the emails (such as with "Dear firstname:" at the top of the message) but it will let you send an idential message to everyone who meets your criteria.

  • HT1311 can you see which device bought something on iTunes where you have multiple devices on the same iTunes account?

    is there any way to find out which device dowloaded apps when you have multiple devices using the same itunes account? 

    The purchase information does not include the device used, but does include the Apple ID used for the purchase.
    Apps downloaded on one device with the same Apple ID can be downloaded on another device with that Apple ID.

  • Messaging With Multiple Devices on the Same iTunes Account

    My husband and I each have an iPhone 4s.  We share the same iTunes account.  We have never had any problems texting.  My daughter got an iPod Touch for Christmas.  So we set it up using the same iTunes account (since I was told you can have up to 5 devices on 1 acct).  Now when any of the 3 of us send a text, it shows up on all 3 devices.  It didn't happen before with just the 2 iPhones, but after adding the touch it does with all 3.  Even if a txt is sent between the 2 iPhones, it shows up on the touch.  And everything is set to 'off' except "find my iPhone" under on the iCloud settings on both phones Any suggestions???

    Go into Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive on the devices that your would not like to get your text messages to.
    Then remove the email addresses that you would not like to be reached on, especially the one that is the same as your Apple ID.
    Just leave the phone number there, and then the text messages should only appear on your iPhone 4s.

  • How can multiple Mac users have the same iTunes?

    I have a MacBook, and my wife and I have separate accounts on it. It's easier that way for separate Facebook accounts, email, etc. However, it's complicated when it comes to iTunes and applications. We both want to use the same iTunes library. We have iTunes Match, but I'd rather not re-download my entire library when it's already on my computer just so we both have access to it. I tried following the directions at this article, but it didn't work. So, how can both my wife and I, from different accounts on the same Mac (and using the same Apple ID) access the same iTunes library and have any changes reflected on both accounts?

    Obviously, if you just need to copy those iTunes folders, you don't need the ability to write; just the ability to read, which you already have.
    Besides, the /Users/Shared folder is indeed an excellent location for a shared iTunes library; I hadn't yet considered that. Ignore all the above instructions. First, make sure your two iTunes libraries are in sync. Use an external hard drive (or mess with permissions) to do what copying you need to. Then go into iTunes and iTunes>Preferences...>Advanced and change the iTunes Media folder location to /Users/Shared. All of your iTunes content should be copied (or moved) into /Users/Shared.
    After that, do the same thing in the other account, and both your iTunes libraries will now be pointed to the same location.

  • I got a second iPad in the family.  Can we use it with the same Apple account and name?

    We got a second iPad in the family, cna we use it with the same Apple name and account?

    Yes you can, and it's then up to you whether to have the same the same or different content to the older one. When you sync to it your computer for the first time it may be best to give it a different name, just so that you can distinguish them.

  • Multiple devices on the same iTunes account

    I have an iTouch Gen 4 and will be getting an iPhone 5s. Is it possible to have both devices on the same account (same Apple ID) with music on one device and apps on the other? Possibly sharing a couple of same apps between the two devices.

    Go into Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive on the devices that your would not like to get your text messages to.

  • How to use the find Iphone app on two devices with the same itunes and apple id number?

    I have two Iphones connected to the same apple id . I am unable to use the find my iphone app on both devices. It only works on one!! Please help! It is driving me crazy lol!!

    The app should locate both phones if they are using the same iCloud account and the app is signed into the account.  If they are using different account, sign out, then sign back in with the other account to track the other phone.
    If one of them isn't showing and you're signed into the correct iCloud account, go to Settings>iCloud on the phone in question and turn Find My iPhone Off, then back On.
