How many devices can I link to my I-cloud/I-match account?

I have an I-cloud and I-match account with all my music on, most of which consists of my own cd's copied onto it.  I've just bought my mum an iPod nano 6th generation for her birthday and I want to put some music onto it for her so it's all ready to go.  I'm aware I can't put music I bought from I-tunes onto her device but can I copy my copied cd collection onto it for her?  I have 4 Apple devices already linked to my account.
I'll be copying from a MacBook Pro to her device, then the rest of the time her downloads will be added on a Windows PC.  Is this possible/legal?  How many devices can you link to one iTunes account?
Many thanks.

For the main question:  http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/.
You can authorize up to 10 devices on iTunes Match. 
An iPod nano is not a device that works with iTunes Match so any music you put in it will have to go through itunes. Which means yes, you can put music you've bought from itunes on her device, as well as your imported music. That iPod won't count as one of the 10 devices either because it will not be using iTunes Match.
Your plan might not go so smoothly if you plan on synchronizing the ipod to two different libraries.  You'd be safer importing any music you want to share with her from your library to her computer either by downloading with your own Apple ID or through another media (DVD,  external HD...) and authorizing.  And yes, this is legal, but you may only authorize a limited number of computers with your Apple ID:   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • How many devices can I link to AirPort Extreme?

    How many devices can I linked to an AirPort Extreme.  It seems that whenever I have more than 3 devices (all iPhone and iPad), I can't link the fourth one.

    The answer will depend on the type of modem that you have connected to the AirPort Extreme.
    If the AirPort Extreme is connected to a simple modem, then it will act as the main router for your network. In that case, the AirPort Extreme will support up to 50 wireless devices and 150 wired Ethernet devices.
    If the AirPort Extreme is connected to a modem/router combination device....also known as a gateway.....then it is your modem/router that determines the number of devices that can connect to the network.
    If you are unsure of what type of product you might have, post back with the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem".  (We do not need a serial number for the device).

  • On how many devices can I download and watch a purchased movie

    My teacher in school is looking for the cheapest way for all of our class to have access to a movie we are studying. I would like to know how many devices can be linked with one itunes account, so if our teacher created an account and purchased the movie could all/some of our class download it from icloud and watch it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello honor7,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please see the following information for the limit of devices that can be associated with a single Apple ID.

  • How many devices can i run lion on it?

    how many devices can i run lion on it?

    As far as licensing goes, it seems that as long as all the Macs are being used in your household, there's no limit.
    From the Lion license file:
    "If you obtained a license for the Apple Software from the Mac App Store, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License and as permitted by the Mac App Store Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms and Conditions (http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/ww/) (“Usage Rules”), you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license:

  • How many devices can sync to one apple ID?

    How many devices can sync to one apple ID?  I need to get all my music from an old computer to my new computer.  I just purchased an album on my new computer and it's not syncing with my iPhone 5 and I don't want to pay $25 for the Cloud.

    You can sync as many idevices as you like to one computer/library
    The iphone will sync with one and only one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content fro the iphone.

  • I'm a school tech coordinator. Many computers and many iPads. How many Apple IDs can I have per device, and how many devices can have the same Apple ID? To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

    I'm a school tech coordinator. I have many computers and many iPads. I apologize if there is a some place that has all the rules governing the use of Apple IDs. I looked, and I even tried to get the answers from multiple Apple rep's. I couldn't find the answers.
    How many Apple IDs can I have per device?
    I want to use the same computer to sync and backup many iOS devices. The iOS devices would be associated with different Apple IDs.
    I may load apps under a school Apple ID and have users load their own apps under thier own ID.
    How many devices can have the same Apple ID?
    Can I use the same Apple ID on all the computers in a lab?
    Can I use the same Apple ID on all iPads for a particular grade level?
    Are the rules different for iOS devices and computers?
    I know that there are limits on "authorize" and "de-authorize" and how frequently those things can be done.
    Recently I heard that for the life of an iOS device, it can only be associated with five Apple IDs. That is not good for a school giving iPads to students in a 1:1
    To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

    It would be best to address your questions there, especially since this is a public forum, and over there you could post more private issues with this set-up. Not to mention, getting more official answers.

    So I can sync two iPods to my iTunes account and sync the same digital copy movies that come with some o' my DVDs to both ipods? Do movies make a difference really, DRM-Wise? Thanks in advance.
