Using multiple Apple ids for iTunes match

Hi,
I have one Apple id that I use for downloading music and apps on both iTunes and my ios devices, as well as itunes match. I have another that I use for for icloud. My iTunes match subscription is due to expire and I want to use my icloud apple id as my new iTunes Match apple id. If I made purchases with the prior apple id, and used that id for iTunes Match, and now want to change the iTunes Match apple id to my icloud apple id, will iTunes Match sync my music with the new apple id even though the purchases were made on the older id? Or do I have to use the same apple id for iTunes Match that I used to purchase the music in my iTunes library?
Hope my question makes sense.
Thanks,
Steven

iTunes Match can not be transferred to another Apple ID. It is a associated with the iTunes Store account ID you used to purchase it. You can, however, change your Apple ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40

  • Can I use multiple apple ids with iTunes Match?

    My family has multiple apple ids although we share many devices.  If we subscribe to iTunes Match, will it pull all the content from all the devices or just one apple id?

    iTunes Match is associated with one, and only one, iTunes Store account. To use iTM on multiple devices all those devices must be signed into the mobile iTunes Store with the same AppleID.

  • Multiple Macs using same Apple ID for iTunes

    I have two macs, and I've been trying to download itunes purchased content onto one that I purchased on the other. I'm using the same Apple ID for iTunes access on both, but now it won't let me download, giving me that infuriating message about only being able to associate a device with one Apple ID over a three month period. I've neved used any other Apple ID for this, so I'm very confused about what could be happening. Only started after "upgrading" to iOS5 and iCloud.

    iTunes Match is associated with only one Apple ID and cannot be shared across Apple IDs. For your wife to make use of iTunes Match and see the music in the cloud she must login to your Apple ID on the iTunes Store and she will have to stay logged in. This may cause difficulty when updating apps purchased with her Apple ID.
    Also keep in mind that a computer can only be associated with one Apple ID for iTunes Match, automatic downloads and re-downloading of content once every 90 days: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.

  • ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app?

    ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app file not overwrite the previous one at itunes?

    In my opinion it is best to use one Apple ID on your computer and iPad. Using multiple IDs causes confusion.
    I also suggest that each person with their own iOS device have their own unique Apple ID. On the computer create different accounts for each user so that iTunes on each account can be associated with the correct Apple ID.

    If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
    If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

  • How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

    How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

    Not sure what you are getting at... as...
    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.

    I have an older iPod and new iPhone 5s. I have two separate accounts for each. Can I take my iPod account/Id and make into my iPhone id and transfer my music over?...without loosing my music!?

    If you mean Apple IDs, they can't be merged at all.
    If you mean iTunes libraries, import the content and playlists from one to the other.
    You can have content from multiple Apple IDs in one library.

  • Different Apple IDs for iTunes and iCloud

    As a legacy from MobileMe,  I have one Apple ID for iTunes (around 10 years old) that has all of my purchases, and another for iCloud (created later as a requirement of MobileMe) that has all the email, syncing, etc.  Apparently now I can't use Family Sharing because I am signed into iTunes and iCloud with different Apple IDs.
    This has caused other issues as well for years, and I would like to once and for all have one Apple ID for both iTunes and iCloud.  What will happen if I start signing into iCloud with my original iTunes Apple ID?  I'm assuming I will lose the following:
    -- Any email in the cloud
    -- All calendar info
    -- All notes
    Am I correct?
    Anything else I would lose?
    Any way to avoid losing all this?
    Is there a better way to solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance for any help or insight.

  • How to use multiple Apple IDS

    I just bought my first iPhone and another one for my wife.  I'm trying to figure out how to configure Apple IDs to get the most out of our phones.  I'm interested in having us both share contacts and calendars, as well as use the same account for iTunes and the app store.  But we'd like to be able to FaceTime each other.  Is it possible to have one Apple ID for contacts, calendars, iTunes and apps, while use a different one for FaceTime?
    In addition, my wife and I run a small business together, and it makes sense to me to use a separate Apple ID for this so that we can keep business contacts and schedules separate.. allowing us to use this same business ID for other office/managerial employees in the near future.  There are also another set of apps for the business... for example, we use Google Voice in our business.  Can we use another Apple ID for another set of contacts and calendar appointments?

    YOu can share apple id for apps and music.
    However you should get a separate id for imessage/facetime/icloud.

  • HT204053 Using 2 Apple IDs for the App store on iPad

    Hi there,
    We're looking to set up and use two Apple Ids, so each can make and control their own app downloads on an iPad Mini.
    This is our first experience in the ios environment and we're a bit lost with how to handle the Apple ID settings, specifically for app downloads, less for iCloud. On previous Android app stores, there was no need to give an ID + password for each single download.
    Many thanks for any advice and help!

    We're looking to set up and use two Apple Ids, so each can make and control their own app downloads on an iPad Mini.
    That's not going to work. You can only sign into an Apple ID on an iOS device once every 90 days. An iPad is a single user device. Yes, you can comingle the content from different Apple IDs on the same iPad, but it is best to download and comingle the content in the iTunes library of a single account on a Mac or PC and then to sync the comingled content to the iPad.

  • Using multiple apple ids on a single pc for photostream/calendar

    Is it possible to keep two apple id's signed on for photostream to one pc? So far I have only found that you can have one account signed on at a time. I would like both my iphone and my wifes iphone to be able to load pictures onto our single pc with both apple id's logged in at the same time. Also is their a way to share a calandar with two apple id's?

    Adding on to this... we have, what I feel is a pretty basic scenario... I have an iPhone, iPad and MacBook. My wife has an iPhone and iPad. My oldest daughter has an iPad Touch. We keep all of our photos on our family iMac. I was assuming Photostream would allow us each via our own apple ids to take pictures and they would all goto this one area.
    Does this not work?

  • Different Apple IDs for iTunes Store and iCloud

    I am a MobileMe subscriber and need to switch to iCloud soon and I have a question about Music syncing, specifically about Purchased Music, not the Match subscription kind.
    My Apple ID for the iTunes Store is not the same as my MobileMe / iCloud Apple ID.
    Given the difference in IDs, will my Purchased from iTunes music successfully sync over all devices via iCloud? Or will iCloud not recognize my other (iTunes) ID?
    Thank you

    Or am I missing an essential point which is that even on iOS devices a person can sign into iCloud and iTunes in the Cloud separately?
    Yes: signing into the iTunes Store is a separate issue from signing into iCloud. I quote:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    When you first set up your iOS 5 device, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
    In Settings > Store, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
    Mac:
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) iniTunes > iTunes Store

  • Can I use two Apple IDs for my purchases

    Say spouses have separate AppleID's for purchases, can they both be used on a single user account Mac with iTunes?
    Will iTunes handle two distinct accounts?
    I assume it's not an issue for two iPhones as they're separate.
    I guess the only other option would be one AppleID for Apps and purchases and separate AppleIDs for iCloud synching?
    Again, wondering if a Mac or even an iPhone can accomodate purchases made under two separate AppleID's?

  • HT204053 Can I use two Apple IDs for iCloud?

    I have an Apple ID in both US and Germany. Can I use both IDs with iCloud?

    You can use both accounts on your device for Mail, Contacts, Calendars and afew more iCloud services, but you can only set up one account for services like documents and app data, backup and also only one account for iTunes & Store purchases (automatic download option or iTunes Match)
