2 apple IDs sharing itunes match

Hello, I apologise if this has been addressed but I couldn't find the exact answer I am looking for!!
My wife and me share a home computer (macMini) and we both have iphone 5's & ipads and have seperate Apple ID's. I subscribed to itunes Match and have access to my itunes Library across all my devices via the cloud which is great. My wife is able to access my itunes Library from her Home Screen and/or her Macbook which is great but she wants to access my entire iTunes Library on her iPhone like I do.
Does she 1) also need to subscribe to iTunes Match and if so 2) I know she will then have access to "her" itunes Library which is largely empty but will she be able to access our very larger Library like I do? That is the crucial question, we both need to be able to access that Library from any device ????
many thanks for taking the time to read and or offer help in advance!
thanks
dave

Easiest route is to use a single Apple Id and Password for all iTunes Match access - you can load your partners Songs into your iTunes library, select a Song and authorise playback with your partners Apple Id and Password, this will allow iTunes Match to upload all Songs to the cloud.
On each IOS device both use your Apple Id and Password to access all music.

  • 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.

  • 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

    My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac.  We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes.  How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.

    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.

  • Sharing iTunes Match across two iPhones

    I have two iPhones, currently signed in under two different Apple ID's (one for me, one for my wife).  I signed myself up for iTunes Match and enjoy having remote access to my iTunes library.  I'd like to enable my wife's phone to have the same Match access - is there a way to do this without just subscribing her Apple ID to iTunes Match as well?  Can I reset her phone and sign it in under my Apple ID as well?
    I'm sure this question has been asked before, but a quick browse didn't turn it up for me.  Apologies.

    what makes it tricky is the individual itunes accounts for apps. 
    regarding music, my recommendation is to put each computer on the same itunes account (keep the files, but link the computers to the same account)  when you activate match on each computer, the software will add the files from each respective computer and will create a master library (each computer will be able to see ALL files from all three computers.  Then, I would put each iphone on the same itunes account (everyone share the same account). 
    as for apps:
    I'm thinking I am reading right that the three iphones are linked to separate computers.  I am pretty sure that an itunes account on a laptop or desktop can be "authorized" by multiple accounts.  One beauty of itunes 10.5 is the ability to sync an iphone on one computer for "photos" and use the same iphone to sync to another computer for "apps" and another computer for "podcasts" etc (if anyone had any use for doing such a thing).  What I believe this would allow someone in your situation to do, is to essentially be able to log each child's iphone into one itunes account for itunes match, but then use each individual computer to still sync the children's different app accounts.  One child can sync to one computer for their apps and another child to another computer for their apps, etc.  The difference, however, is i'm pretty sure there is no getting around what to do about future bought apps.  they might all have to be bought on one account.  If that is truely the case, you may not be able to do separate itunes accounts.  In such a scenario, i would add everything to the itunes account that has the most apps, and begin shareing apps among them in order to share itunes match

  • 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

  • HT204053 how do i change the apple ID on iTunes match.....

    I am having terrible problems with duplicates on Itunes plus problems with syncing with Icloud. Realised that rather than adding my icloud apple id to Itunes match, I have added my original ID which I use for purchases. Ideally would like to bring these together under one account but to solve this initial problem I think changing my Itunes Match ID will help! Please can someone let me know how I can change the ID?
    Look forward to finding someone who can help me...!

    You can change your apple id at appleid.apple.com to a different, non-apple id email.
    But for what your after, this wont help.  You can't transfer purchases from one apple id to another.  You may just have to purchase it again on the right id.  You could try for a refund at expresslane.apple.com but doubt you'll get it.

  • Apple id and itunes match

    My wife and I just purchased a MacBook Pro retina and we are trying to do the iTunes match.  Unfortunate I'll be were getting an error that says "this computer is already associated with an Apple ID you cannot download past purchases on this computer with just one Apple ID every 90 days".  Wondering if there's a way around this.  Thank you.

    Hi,
    You can only use one Apple ID for iTunes Match.  Read the following support documents as you may run into problems if you use another Apple ID.

  • Looking for a way to search artists in Apple TV from iTunes Match?

    Looking for a way to search artists in Apple TV from iTunes Match similar to searching for a movie in Netflix.  

    I'm not sure I understand. You access iTunes Match via the music section, there are different categories and you select artist to search through the artists in your music library.

  • Multiple Apple TVs and iTunes Match problem

    I have three Apple TVs and have iTunes Match - my full library of music only shows on one Apple TV - on the other two Apple TVs it displays only recently purchased songs from iTunes - any ideas 

    Maybe I should be more specific...
    We have three atv's. The kids want to play their own iTunes Match playlists on one of the atvs with their apple id and we would like our own iTunes Match playlists on the other atvs. But when we change the apple id on one atv, it changes the id on the other two so that they are all synced. Is there a way to have mutliple atvs with different iTunes Match apple ids active at the same time on the same network?
    I would prefer not to use home sharing to avoid having two iTunes apps open.
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • 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

  • 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.

  • ITunes Apple ID and iCloud Apple ID and iTunes Match

    I have a family Apple ID associated with my iMac and iPad for iTunes and Apps. I have two new iPhone 5s. Each iPhone has been setup to have a separate Apple ID for email (iCloud) and to use the family Apple ID for iTunes and Apps. Can I initiate iTunes Match from my iMac and use iTunes Match on all devices especially since the iPhones have two Apple IDs "loaded" ?

    Hi,
    If you are using the same ID for Itunes purchases, APPs and Itunes match, you should be OK. Separate ID can be use for iCloud which is not the same as iMatch.
