2 iTunes accounts, unable to change what is used for "updates" on iPad.

Sorry - this might sound confusing, but I'll try to explain.
I have 2 iTunes account. My primary Canadian and a US account.
The US account is only for those situations where I have to redeem a free promo code, etc.
The problem I'm having is that for normal, every day use my standard account is what I use to download and update applications.
However now when I try to "Update" apps from the iPad directly, it tries to use my US store account and, since the applications were purchased from my default account, I cannot update them directly on the iPad.
Updating them on my PC through iTunes works just fine, however.
I don't know what I need to do to fix this.
I've signed out everywhere I can on my iPad and signed back into my default account.
I've done the same through iTunes, I make sure whenever I sync my iPad, I am signed in on my default account.
Any time I download on the iPad, I generally only use my primary account, and there are no issues with the initial download.
Any suggestions...??? Did I clarify enough?
Thanks!

When you originally set up the iPad did it or does it ask you to log into your iTunes or possibly we're you logged into your US account when you connected your iPad for the 1st time. Have you done a full restore on your iPad...start fresh not a restore from back up.

HT4557 I don't seem to be able to sync new Ipod Touch 4 with existing Itunes Account on my laptop which is used for ipod nano.

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I use my itunes account to sync my Ipod nano on my laptop. My daughter has just got an Ipod Touch 4th generation. She wishes to sync her music to my itunes library. When I connected her Ipod to my itunes it is not offering an option to sync to itunes account. I understand that it should be possible but don't know how to go about it. Appreciate any help.

Does iTunes see the iPod? If not
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer
The iPod touch uses different drivers than the Nano

How to change what is used for the condition base value

I have a new condition type that I want to always get its conditon base value from a list price total in the pricing procedure.
Do I need to do this in a routine? If yes, can you give more details on what should be in the routine.
Thanks

The new condition(ZXXX) which should always have the base value amount of the list price -
Settings
ZXXX in transaction v/06- when defining this condition you have a field under Master data - to use it as reference condition type
over here you can mention the condition for the list price. than it should work.
Hope this helps
Cheers

I want to use 1 itunes account but sync 3 different iphones, 2 for the kids and 1 for me. So I would like to have different programs, songs, apps etc for each phone. What is the easiest way to do that

Agreed heather. Also, if you have three users on the same account how do you keep phone calls and messages from going to all three phones?

I have 2 itunes accounts. I can no longer use my first one for purchases so I had to start a new one and it will not sync from my new one without deleting everything on my same ipod from my previous account. How do I sync between both accounts?

Can I set up a seperate itunes account on the same computer to use an additional ipod?

Why would you set up another account?

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

You can migrate a copy of the data to a new account, then delete the other person's data from each account. To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to keep on the phone, save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you have any synced notes that you want to keep on the phone, email these to yourself so you can create new notes in the new account.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. You will create a new icloud email address with you turn Mail to On.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).

I share an itunes account with my daughter, didn't realize that updating to ios6 and the cloud would link our phones. This is a fiasco, anyone have any advice how to remedy?

I ran ios6 updates on my ipad and iphone, not knowing that using the icloud and sharing an itunes account with my daughter, would have our phones and my ipad now linked together. My contacts are gone (875 of them) and I have her contacts, and our text messages are now shared like a party line! Can anyone help me with this? What to do now, I don't want to sync or do anything to any device!!

iCloud is designed to be used by one user with all their devices "linked" together. Your daughter needs to have her own icloud account. Using one Apple ID for an iTunes account is a different situation, you can certainly share the account with your daughter. That way she can access purchased items without paying again.
If she already has another icloud account, and wants to set it up on her device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that she wants to use.
To create a new icloud account, go to
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
As for your lost contacts, they are gone. You only hope is if the contacts were also on your computer and (if gone now) you have made frequent backups of the computer (like using Time Machine on a mac). Just restore the contact files back to your computer.

My wife and I each have an iPhone and an iPad Mini. We have separate iTunes accounts. She just finished reading a book on her iPad Mini. Now I want to read it on my iPad Mini. How can I get the book on my iPad Mini?

Thank you for your reply Domingo. Your suggestion worked as far as sending me a link to buy the book at iTunes. But it did not allow me to download the book from my wife's account. I did finally get an answer from Apple. It took an entire day of emailing back and forth and the final answer was relatively easy once Apple finally decided to give up the solution. Basically, you have to open ibooks and sign out. Then you have to sign into ibooks using the book purchaser's Apple ID and password. Then you can download the book onto your device. Not too bad, huh? It only took a whole day of Apple people sending me wrong instructions before they figured it out. Geez. What a disappointing experience.

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
If you have a PPC Mac you cannot sync your idevice without a newer computer. See the end of this post for options.
If it says you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but check system requirements first:
Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
You can buy Snow Leopard at:
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After installing run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.
Jan. 2014 post by Kappy on doing all this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24599931
Options if you cannot upgrade: iTunes Store purchases can already be downloaded directly. Use iTunes Match to put non-Store music in iCloud, then download to your device from there. Backup your device directly to iCloud over a wireless connection. Photos can be downloaded from the Camera Roll using iPhoto or Image Capture.

Hello Jbamrah,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:

You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.

Best of luck,

I currently have and Iphone and Ipad on one Itunes account. My work is providing me with another work Ipad to link with my Iphone. Do I need to create another account to keep things seperate?

I currently have a personal iPad and an iPhone linked to one iTune account. My employeer is providing me with a work iPad to use and this will be linked to my iPhone, should I create a second account for the work iPad?

Existing apps and content would not be automatically downloaded. You'd have to download apps and music manually, or sync them from a computer. New purchases would be automatically downloaded if you set the iPad to do that. Otherwise, again, you'd have to manually download or sync from iTunes.
Regards.

2 iTunes accounts, unable to change what is used for "updates" on iPad.
