I purchased OSX 10.8 can I put it on my wifes computer too even though she has a different apple ID?
I purchased OSX 10.8 and it is on 2 of my computers can I put it on my wifes computer too even though she has a different apple ID?
The OS X license states that you can install it on as many computers as YOU own and control. So, technically speaking, your wife needs to get her own license; however, if you both use the same Apple ID......
FWIW, the license is not transferable, so if you sell/gift your computer, you must uninstall it and reinstall the original system (or the buyer will encounter major problems such as not being able to reinstall the OS if necesssary).

I have our music collection on iTunes Match for my PC, ipad and iphone.
Can I share that music collection with my wife so she can play that with her iphone? Even though she has a different Apple ID from me?Her iPhone will need to be set up to iTunes Match using your Apple ID to be able to share music via iTunes Match. Otherwise you'll have to download the music to your computer and then copy those tracks into her iTunes library, assuming hers is separate.

I just subscribed to ITunes Match. I was able to connect my phone and Ipad but I cant't connect my wife's phone. She has a different Apple ID.
The iCloud and iTunes Store account ID are not the same thing. They can be different although some folks, like myself, do have the same Apple ID for all the Apple services. Go to Settings > Store and enter the exact same iTunes Store account ID you used to purchase iTunes Match. Be aware you can only switch Apple IDs on an iOS device every 90 days.

Can i give me wife Itunes content if she has a different Apple ID/Itunes acccount?
Hi folks,
Just bought the wife an ipad and the iTunes App is installed on it.
My wife has her own Apple ID and itunes account.
Her itunes account has little in it to date.
Is it possible for her to download an artist/track/album from my library for her own account/library through the local network?
I know that obviously you can just share libraries with firends etc, but thought as its the one local/home network there may be a way for here to add content to her library from mine, without her using my apple ID, changing my library, deleting tracks, compromising etc....??
I simply want to give her some of my apple purchased/matched music.
Thanks folks, appreciate your help
Simon.Simon, Does she have her own iTunes library on a computer, to which she syncs her iPad? If so, the best way is to give her a copy of the song files, either by using a flash drive or by the iTunes Home Sharing capability. She can add it to her own library , and then sync her iPad.
To your question about sharing, song files purchased from the iTunes Store are restricted to "personal, non-commercial" use. The term us generally understood to allow sharing between related members of the same household, which is why Apple provides Home Sharing across multiple libraries over the same local network. -
I've had an iPhone 4 for a little over a year now, and never had any issues with iMessage, but my friend just got an iPhone 5C. Of course, I still text her, but my texts always go out as SMS's. I can still recieve her texts, though, as iMessages. This only happens with her contact. There has been one time that my text sent as an iMessage, but I hadn't moved to a different location or anything.
I tried switching her number to iPhone instead of just Mobile in her contact, but there wasn't an option for iPhone. Today I created a new contact for her, and managed to enter her number as an iPhone. Even after that, it wouldn't work. I tried going somewhere I'd have WiFi, in case it had something to do with my carrier. She can text other people with iMessage, too.
Any ideas??? I'd really appreciate itHello there, frogs13.
The following Knowledge Base article has some great information for troubleshooting your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
Specifically:
If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

My past computer crashed and I am trying to get all my itunes songs back for my new computer, but even though I have downloaded all my past purchases some of them still aren't playing and can't be located. What can I do? It is quite alot of lost songs/ money.....
Thanks anyone who can help, Apple make it impossible to talk to anyone or contact and I can't navigate Express Lane
xI realise there have been a number of threads like this now that I have started looking, the problem is the back-ups i made were saved to a server network which has now also gone down, a case of dreadful luck really. Is there any other way to get the music back?

If I purchase Photoshop CC now can I load it to a new computer later? I will be purchasing a new computer later. What's the process of moving product to new computer.
You can install new machines as needed. Your subscription allows for functioning installations on two machines, so you could keep the original installation as a backup if you could use one. Otherwise, you can sign out of the old machine to discontinue the use of it there. You will install on the new machine just like you do for the current one.

I can't put songs from my other computer on my ipod
I have 2 computers in my home (the family one and mine) and my computer I have downloaded like 80% of my itunes music from, but the cd-rom doesn't work for some reason. I want to get my cds on my ipod too (itunes doesn't have most of the music I have in cds, so I can't rebuy them... don't want to either. I'm low on money) and the family computer doesn't let me put my imported music on there. When I plug it in the family computer, it gives me an option to keep the songs on my ipod that I already have on there and erase all the stuff that are on my ipod and use only that computer to put stuff on my ipod. If I use the first one, I can't put stuff from the family computer on there. What do I do?
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!!!
When the window comes saying "The ...iPod is synced with another iTunes library...do you want to..." Just hit cancel. Your iPod is now set to "manually manage movies and songs"
Now you can drag and drop whatever songs you want onto your iPod. I would go ahead and set the setting on the other computer to "manually manage..." also in order for it not to erase the songs you put on there from the other computer.
You can go to Devices>iPod>Settings There are four options toward the bottom of the page. One of those is "manually...." Check that box. -
How can I transfer music from our computer to an Ipod Touch with a different Apple ID?
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
You also may want to go to other places like:
- Settings>iCloud
- Settinge>FaceTime
- Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID -

Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?
No. You cannot link your contacts to hers. However, you can use Home Sharing to share the information:
