Itunes match with two different libraries on two different computers with the same apple ID? How?

I have a work PC that I synch with my itunes library and it works totally fine. I also have a macbook at home with a different library on it. Both compuers share the same apple id. will itunes match synch all the devices with the same library? If so do I only need one itunes match purchase or do I need one for each computer? The apple help desk (phone support) and apple store I recently visited were unable to provide me with answers to my questions.

Just create a new account. On one iPod go to Settings>iTunes and App stores and sing out and sign in with other account. Same for Settings>iCloud and Settings Messages. Also go to Settings>Face time and add the new iD email addrss as the Caling email address and delete the other one.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

    Can I download itunes on two totally different computers using the same apple id and go back and forth between them (ie home computer and work computer)?

    There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that.  You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

    Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
    Unlikely. But nothing is impossible.   Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

    If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
    If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
    Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
    SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
    Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
    My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.

    Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
    If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.

    Neither of those Apps allow you to (easily) add iWork documents created or edited on the device to your online storage, you need to be using a webDAV server to be able to do that. In fact pretty much all you can add from the iOS device is photos and video without resorting to convoluted workarounds, intermediate apps or emailing finished documents to yourself. You can on the other hand view most of the content of dropbox/sugarsync through those apps, which in a lot of circumstances is useful, but without it working in both directions these apps are far from an ideal solution.
    E.g from the sugarsync website
    Yes, this may not be of too much interest to the OP, I was only trying to clarify the situation with iCloud.com/iWork for you.
    However that being said, there may be areas of interest for Computer to Computer syncing, given the recent changes made to iCloud.com/iWork. I wouldn't suggest iCloud sharing for archived documents, but for perhaps up to a couple of dozen documents in progress, iCloud sharing is now quite viable. If there is any chance at all of these documents being accessed on an iOS device then iCloud would become a preferred option to dropbox or sugarsync.

  • 2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

  • We have 3 devices used by 3 different people under the same Apple ID, how do I stop getting my daughters texts, both sent and received?

    We have 3 devices used by 3 different people under the same Apple ID, how do I stop receiving my daughters texts? Both sent and received.

    When you use the same Apple ID on 3 devices it means you are all using the same (email, imessaging, calendar etc).  Since iCloud (MobileMe) is designed to be shared across all devices included Macs, it means all devices setup with the same ID will have access to the information.
    Text messaging is relevant only to the number you are texting.  This is done through your telecom companys lines and not on Apples.
    If you do not want to have others be able to read any of your information then it is best you each have your own account.

    Perhaps you mean the OP needs to add a new email address for his AppleID and use that email address.
    Yes. That's what I meant.
    Change the "You can de Reached by Facetime At" for one of them under Settings->Facetime->You can be Reached by Facetimer At.
    I probably should have specified "Change the "You can de Reached by Facetime At"(email address) ...
    NOW TO CORRECT:  Even though I said you could, you can't.
    I tried this out just now and you can't facetime a device using the same Apple ID.
    So yes, you infact need another Apple ID for this. Not just another email address.

  • How to have different music library's on iPods using the same Apple ID

    Hello.
    Me and my sister both have iPod 4th generations. Because of the timing of the purchases of our devices we use the same apple account. I would like to know how to have a different iTunes music library to her and if it will still keep the libraries separate.
    Please help.
    ~ Harry

    The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways for managing the media content. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
    e.g.
    "Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
    "Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
    Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
    etc.
    I currently manage our family's five iDevices using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their device. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed and need rebuilding. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.
    To make sure your apps don't inadvertently merge turn off Automatically sync new apps from the apps tab when you connect your device.
    Or you can opt for completely separate libraries... Disable automatic downloading of purchases and turn off the display of iTunes in the Cloud purchases from the Store menu. You still get the benefit of being able to freely download something the other has purchased that you also like.

  • HT2204 I have 3 iphones and all use the same apple ID,how do I change this so each phone has its own id,do i restore the phones to factory settings first??as im having problems with contacts being added to and deleted from each phone.

    I have 3 Iphone 4S and all have the same apple ID which is causing problems as far as contacts are concerned,when i sync 1 of the phones to my comp the contacts appear on all the phones.How do i create a new ID for each of the phones do I have to reset the phones to factory settings first,any help would be appreciated.:)

    Hello marie196,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    You do not necessarily need to restore the device to factory settings, but rather sign out of the four services that utilize your Apple ID: iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and iTunes & App Stores. Once signed out, you can sign in with a new Apple ID. For more information, see the following article:
    Using your Apple ID for Apple services
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
    Additional Information: You may encounter an error regarding a 90-day limit. For information on this, see the following article:

  • HT204053 If I've signed up multiple devices on the same apple ID how can i change them into different individual ID's?

    Hello, I have multiple devices that i've used the same apple ID for. I was curious to know if I can change each of them into something different?

    You can migrate a device to a new account with a new ID.  To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.

  • Is it possible to sync PDFs with multiple computers using the same apple ID?

    I have successfully synced these PDFs with one computer (iMac) and one iOS device (iPhone).
    However, I can't figure out how to sync the PDFs with the second computer (Macbook Pro).
    I added the PDFs to iTunes by dragging them into the books tab. I then set the iOS device to sync books via iBooks.
    Does iTunes only sync books purchased from the iTunes store?
    I am using iTunes v11.1 on both computers.

    If you have tow computers that wish to talk to each other then no matter what Buddy List you use you will need two accounts.
    If this is a List that logs into the AIM servers it can be an old @mac.com name, the newer MobileMe name or an AIM name.
    With a Jabber List it can be a Jabber ID or GoogleTalk ID
    In a straight forward set up Jabber Lists (Jabber ID) can not talk to AIM Buddies or An AIM Buddy List (Screen Name) talk to Jabber Buddies
