2 MACS one account

We have two iMACs and I would like all purchases on both MACs. What is, if there is a way, the best way to do this?

Hello jmsfmtex,
This can be done by signing into the same iTunes Store account on both systems.

  • Two macs one account

    Can someone point me in the right direction, ive just bought a new imac and will be keeping my older powerbook G4. both macs are connected to my even older G3 Powermac which is running debian etch and is running samba as a file server.
    I had my file server and samba setup as a PDC in the past for the days of using windows but have now gone all mac what id like to do is have both machines link to the server for authentication so that there is only one account stored on the server for each user. Id like to be able to logon to the imac then logon to the powerbook and have all the same files desktop etc and dont want to use the apple internet thing (sorry cant remember name)
    my powerbook is running tiger at the moment but will get a license of leopard if this would make things easier, also would the server be better running osx server to achieve this or can it be done with samba and if so does anyone have any pointers
    thanks

    You can sync the iPod to either computer, but the iPod will mirror the library on the computer you've just synced with. The transfer is one-way -- from computer to iPod. The exception is iTunes purchases, which can be transferred from the iPod back to the computer.

  • Morph one .Mac/.Me account into two iCloud accounts.

    We recently updated to iCloud and established a separate account for my wife's iPhone4, where previously we were both on one .Mac/.Me account. Now, to update the Apps on her phone, she has to log into both my account and her account. Is there anyway to end this madness short of repurchasing all of her Apps? (I think this qualifies as real First World problem, don't you?)

    Each iCloud account has a unique ID.  If you want a separate iCloud account you would need to create it using a different Apple ID.  You can continue to share the same ID for other services such as iTunes; the ID for these services does not need to be the same as your iCloud ID.  It's recommended, however, that you do not share the same ID for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls on your devices.

  • I have two iCloud accounts .mac and .me. My contacts are duplicated 2 and 3 times. I only want one account.

    Somehow, I ended up with two iCloud accounts. A .mac and a .me. I only need one but can not make the .me the primeray one (it tells me that the email is already in use). Anyways, I also have my contact records duplicated 2 and 3 times. I went to the Apple store in Beijing (I'm in China now) and they did not seem to know much about iCloud. They told me that I have to erase my contacts on the iPhone and iPad and then manually erase the duplicates. Is there another way to do it? How can I set up iCloud so that I only have one account?

    You can't delete an iCloud account.  You can, however, sign out of that account and just stop using it.  Then sign in to your second account on all devices account.

    Create two separate user accounts. One account for each user. See Mac OS X 10.7 Help- Create a new user or group account.

  • Can you have more than one account on a Mac for FaceTime?

    Several of us would like use FaceTime on the same Mac, can we set up more than one account on the Mac?

    Each user should have his or her own login account with its own files and settings, including FaceTime settings. There should be no problem.

  • HT201272 How can I recover a purchased app on one itouch (which has since died) and put it on my new itouch device if I haven't syncronised my old device with my mac/itunes account before it died?

    How can I recover a purchased app on one itouch (which has since died) and put it on my new itouch device if I haven't syncronised my old device with my mac/itunes account before it died?

    It is easy to download items you have purchased from iTunes again; this article will walk you through it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    You want the "Apps on iOS" section.

  • I had a MobileMe account and when Apple switched to iCloud I now have two mail accounts: @mac and @me. Additionally my folders in iCloud not longer show up in my Mail program. How do I return to one account and see my folders on my mac?

    I had a MobileMe account and when Apple switched to iCloud I now have two mail accounts: @mac and @me. Additionally my folders in iCloud no longer show up in my Mail program on my iMac. How do I return to one account and see my iCloud folders on my mac?

    I went to Notes.  Showed all notes.  Three notes are duplicated, one on iCloud and one on Icloud.  I deleted one of the notes and checked to see if the other still existed.  It did.  I deleted the other two notes.  I check all notes and found that the three notes were deleted on both accounts.  The only notes on this device are under On My iPad.
    I went into system settings and tried to delete the Icloud account.  The warning comes up:  This will delete all IMAP notes on your device.  Will this also delete the notes in On My iPad?

  • HT2500 How does one set up an .mac mail account?

    One of our MSN Hotmail accounts has been hacked, and a friend (who has an Apple .mac account) has suggested that we should be using .mac mail accounts but I cannot find out how to set one up. Do I have to go down to the Apple store to find out or . . . . I must be able to do this online?

    Sign up for iCloud or use a service such as Gmail.

  • How to share or synchronize one account on multiple macs?

    My family uses one account on iTunes on our central iMac. I would like two of children, who each have their own macs, to be able to access the same music library & purchase songs on their own. How is this done?

    I think the best way would be to make different user accounts on the mac, and then just share the library. Then they should be able to see the shared iTunes library, and have their own accounts on iTunes personal to them as well.

  • One account in .Mac mail will not receive mail?

    I've tried sending to my other .Mac accounts and this is normal. My primary .Mac mail account will not receive mail. My E-Bay mail and other mail is not reaching this one primary account. Any suggestions?
    867 Dual   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   My primary account is storing 1412 mail messages

    The .Mac servers for your area may be having problems this morning.
    I'm using Mail 2.0.5 but checking the .mac server
    directly takes mail out of the loop.
    Not true. For a .Mac type account, it will mark a message as read only in the Mail.app when the mailbox is synchronized with the server after messages are checked and read at the server using webmail access and if changed to a POP type account in Mail, any message that is available at the server will be downloaded by the Mail.app even after messages are read using webmail access.
    Is mail storage calculated separately?
    It is now. You can adjust - lower or raise the amount of server storage space alloted for the account.

  • HT204053 Specific: I have 2 .mac email accounts, one of them has a sub-address. Can I keep all 3 .mac email addresses in iCloud?

    I have 2 .mac email accounts, one of them has a sub-address. Can I keep all 3 .mac email addresses in iCloud?

    You will need to migrate each account seperately using the Move website, the alias will also be migrated to iCloud with whichever account it is under (the only problem with aliases, occurs when you have more than 3 in an account)
    When you log into iCloud on the computer running Lion, iCloud will update your mail accounts for you, on the computers running Snow Leopard you will have to set up the mail accounts manually. Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
    Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    You won't be able to use your iCloud contacts and calendars on the computers running snow leopard with Address book and iCal, but can access them from the web interface at iCloud.com

  • HT4505 I have 4 accounts on my Mac Pro running Mavericks.  From one account I can scan with my Epson NX420, but the other three accounts do not see the scanner.  Can print from all accounts.

    Sorry, I was not given the option of posting to a Maverics community.  I have 4 accounts on my Mac Pro running Mavericks.  From one account I can scan with my Epson NX420, but the other three accounts do not see the scanner.  Can print from all accounts.

    Hi there Ira Fletcher,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below. Note: While the article was written for printer issues, many of the same troubleshooting steps apply to scanners as well.

  • Can't access files from one account to another on same Mac

    I've got a new macbook and I've divided it into two accounts. One account has all my iTunes music but the other is a fresh iTunes with no music.
    I've been trying to get access to the music from the other account. It seems like it should be easy as it's already on this computer. I've tried copying the iTunes folder into the public folder and going to the other account and copying it to it but that's not working.
    I've also tried sharing the files from the Sharing sys prefs. But can't get that to work. And I've also put the Music folder into the Shared folder and still nothing.
    The folders I need have the red minus on them.
    I must be missing something simple. Help!
    Thanks.

    wireduck,
    Highlight the music folder and on the keyboard type (Command) + i: on the window that opens scroll down if need and click on the lock on the bottom right. Type in an Admin User name and password. Then under the (Sharing & Permissions:) make sure the users you want to open the folder are listed and that there (Privilege) is set to @ least Read. If not hit the ( + ) sign and add them. After you have that all set up click on the little gear next to the ( - )s sign and (Apply to a enclosed items). that way each user can read the files. After that the little ( - ) sign should be gone on the folders.
    Hope that helps.
