Accessing purchases made with 1 Apple ID from multiple Apple IDs

I have been sharing 1 Apple ID to make all purchases and homeshare for the household. As I now begin to add new IOS devices (IPAD, Iphones, etc.) and the kids want their own IDs for purchases and icloud syncs, is it possible to access music and app purchases made under the original id with the new id(s) so tey dont lose any of their existing stuff? Put another way, can multiple ids access purchases made under one master id?
Thanks

I happened to stop at the Apple store yesterday for a separate issue and had a discussion about iCloud. Seems like this is how iCloud works (also, there's another thread on this forum that explains it well).
Each member of the family can have their own iCloud ID, which will be used for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Apps, Bookmarks, Media, Photos, etc. and having this content synced automatically with a Mac (computer). The iCloud IDs work in tandem with the associated Apple ID — so while you cannot have multiple Apple IDs, you can certainly have multiple iCloud IDs tagged with a certain Apple ID.
While all this makes sense from the iOS device standpoint, I'm unclear on how things will sync with a Mac computer, especially if the family uses a single iMac with multiple login IDs for various members. For instance, I currently have an iMac and iTunes content resides in my Public folder, which my wife can still access when she logs in with her login ID. I'm guessing that I'll be able to set up her iCloud ID using her login, set up my iCloud ID using my login, while both our iMac logins will retain the same Apple ID. This would take care of syncing Photos, Contacts, Calendars, etc.
Another (not sure if unique) problem I face is our Address Book — right now, we have one GIANT address book with different groups set up. Certain groups sync to her iPhone, while others to mine. Some contacts are common between both of us. I'm hoping that if she/I updates a common contact, then the change will be reflected in both our groups of contacts. I hope this makes sense — for instance, I update a contact named Joe, and he's on my group of contacts in my iPhone. Hope iCloud updates the master contact card for Joe on the iMac, which would then automatically trigger the update on my wife's group of contacts—that Joe also belongs to— leading to an update on her iOS device as well.
Apologies for the lengthy response..

How can I avoid losing purchases made with an old Apple ID when I authorize my MacBook Pro under my current Apple ID?

I am very confused!! When I first used iTunes, I did not own any Apple products. When I purchased my MacBook Pro and a Mobile Me subscription a few years ago, my email address @me.com became my new Apple ID. I subsequently purchased an iPhone 3 and eventually an iPhone 4. Apparently over this time, I have used both Apple IDs at various times. Sometimes when I upgrade apps, the old ID will already be filled in and other times the new one will be instead. I always use whichever one is there with the appropriate password. This was probably a mistake. I just realized that my MBPro is authorized under the original Apple ID and not the current one. I tried to authorize it under the current Apple ID, but couldn't, so I was going to deauthorize it from the old one, but got a message about losing any purchases made with the original Apple ID. I don't want that to happen. Synching my iPhone in iTunes with my computer has been much more confusing since I got my newer iPhone. However, I don't remember anything about the process I went through to associate it with my iTunes account. Any helpful suggestions are appreciated.

Log into the store using the old Apple ID to re-download them, however, you can not switch them into your current Apple ID except by re-purchasing. You can contact Apple support and see if they are able to help you.

HT204088 Hello everyone, i want to know how can i found out the purchases made with my credit card (not by my apple ID)?

Hello everyone, i want to know how can i found out the purchases made with my credit card (not by my apple ID)?
I found out in my Credit Card bill some purchases in itunes store that wasn't made by me.
thanks to all helpers

This would be something you would need to address with your credit card company. Apple cannot tell you who else might have used your card nor what purchases they might have made. Call your credit card company and report the charges as fraudulent. You'll probably need to have them cancel your existing card and issue you a new one.
Regards.

Accessing the same stateful session bean from multiple clients in a clustered environment

I am trying to access the same stateful session bean from multiple
          clients. I also want this bean to have failover support so we want to
          deploy it in a cluster. The following description is how we have tried
          to solve this problem, but it does not seem to be working. Any
          insight would be greatly appreciated!
          I have set up a cluster of three servers. I deployed a stateful
          session bean with in memory replication across the cluster. A client
          obtains a reference to an instance of one of these beans to handle a
          request. Subsequent requests will have to use the same bean and could
          come from various clients. So after using the bean the first client
          stores the handle to the bean (actually the replica aware stub) to be
          used by other clients to be able to obtain the bean. When another
          client retrieves the handle gets the replica aware stub and makes a
          call to the bean the request seems to unpredictably go to any of the
          three servers rather than the primary server hosting that bean. If the
          call goes to the primary server everything seems to work fine the
          session data is available and it gets backed up on the secondary
          server. If it happens to go to the secondary server a bean that has
          the correct session data services the request but gives the error
          <Failed to update the secondary copy of a stateful session bean from
          home:ejb20-statefulSession-TraderHome>. Then any subsequent requests
          to the primary server will not reflect changes made on the secondary
          and vice versa. If the request happens to go to the third server that
          is not hosting an instance of that bean then the client receives an
          error that the bean was not available. From my understanding I thought
          the replica aware stub would know which server is the primary host for
          that bean and send the request there.
          Thanks in advance,
          Justin


          If 'allow-concurrent-call' does exactly what you need, then you don't have a problem,
          do you?
          Except of course if you switch ejb containers. Oh well.

i had to replace my i4s phone with another one from the apple store. i need to download all my contact info and other stuff from the cloud to my new phone.i see a screen that says RESTORE I PHONE and are you sure you want to restore the iphone to its facory settings? all of your media and other data will be erased. they i tunes will verify restore with apple. After this you will have the option to restore your contacts and other settins. The question is will it restore my first phones info? I am hesitant to delete anything lol.

No. If you made your backup to iCloud, iTunes will not restore from an iCloud backup. See:

I recently purchased an Apple TV box & the App for Apple TV from the Apple store. Now how do I get it to work? I am a card-carrying technological imbecile.

I recently purchased an Apple TV box & the App for Apple TV from the Apple store. Now how do I get it to work? I am a card-carrying technological imbecile.

If I'm understanding correctly, you have an Apple TV 2 (the small, black box version of the Apple TV), and downloaded the Remote App from the iTunes Store for your iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad, correct? If so...
For the AppleTV setup, hook it up to your television and, if applicable, your Surround Sound system. To do this, you'll use an HDMI cable (not included, available here) to hook the AppleTV to your Television. The cable only fits one way, and should slide effortlessly into place. If, and only if, you intend to use your surround sound system with the AppleTV, you will also need what's called a TOSLINK Optical Cable (also not included, available here). This cable goes from the AppleTV to a port labelled Optical In or Digital In on the back of your surround receiver (consult the manual that came with your surround sound system for additonal help).
From here on, we'll focus on hooking up the AppleTV, then how to setup the Remote App from Apple on your iOS device.
The AppleTV needs a network connection in order to function correctly. A wired connection is recommended, but Wi-Fi is built-in to the AppleTV if a wired connection isn't available. With the AppleTV plugged into your television, follow the on-screen instructions for setup. To connect the AppleTV to your Wi-Fi network, you'll need to know the name of the network you want to connect to, as well as any password needed to connect to it. When the AppleTV has a network connection, it'll load the latest selection of TV Shows, Movies and Music for display on the main menu - that's the easiest way to tell everything's working.
For the Remote App, all you need to do is download the free application to a compatible iOS device (Any iOS device running iOS 3.1.2 or higher). Once downloaded, go to the computer hosting your iTunes library, and turn on Home Sharing. Finally, start the Remote App on your iOS device (be it iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch), login with the same information you setup Home Sharing with, and away you go! The Remote App is entirely optional, since the AppleTV can be controlled by the included remote control, but it's a nice touch nonetheless.
I hope this answered your question, or at least helped put you on the path to success. If you need something clarified, please don't hesitate to ask here.

Will iTunes Match work with songs purchased from multiple Apple IDs?

My parents have an iTunes library with about 10,000 songs on it. It's basically one big mesh of my family's purchases from over the years, using multiple Apple ID's and some of which I don't even recognize and/or remember. It's become very problematic now that my mother wants me to get a lot of the music "out of the guts of the computer" so she can listen to them on her iPhone and iPad.
I'm assuming iTunes Match is the solution, but I just want to be sure that the "match" part pertains not only to purchases from outside sources, but also purchases from other Apple ID's as well. I won't have to do the whole "authorize this computer" stuff, right? Like I said, some of the songs were purchased using old ID's that we don't have access to anymore. Also, if I sign up my mom for an iTunes Match account, and she wants to play songs that I purchased using my own Apple ID, that's not going to change *my* account or authorizations in any way, is it?

Hi Rubberbucket,
The music information for iTunes Match is obtained from the user's iTunes music library and does not depend on the Apple ID under which the music was purchased from the iTunes Store. See this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Why will my apple tv only access purchases made in itunes library? My Home Sharing is activated on both my TV and computer, but I continue to get message to activate Home Sharing. I am unable to transfer my movies downloaded in Itunes.

Why will my Apple TV only accept purchases made in Itunes? I am unable to transfer movies and music that I have downloaded in Itunes through my Apple TV to my TV. All movies are in an MP3 Ipad format.I have followed every troubleshooting suggestion with no luck. If my Apple TV will transfer purchased music, I must assume the Home Sharing is activate on both my computer and TV.

Thank you. I meant streaming, not transfer. I have streamed movies through my Apple TV before and watched them on my TV. Now, the only content that will stream is what I purchased in the Itunes store. My Home Sharing is obviously activated or the streaming of purchased items would not work. Both my Itunes and Apple TV are fully updated. Where am I going wrong?

Download music from multiple apple IDs on to same Mac Pro?

I use my apple ID on our home MacPro. My wife just purchased an album from the store with her apple ID on her phone. How do I add it to our iTunes library? It's telling me that if I download it from hers, I won't be able to download anything from my apple ID for 90 days. There has to be a way to add it to our library. How? Thanks for any help.

Open itunes, connect her iphone, click File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Make sure the computer is authorized for her account.

All my purchases made before February disappeared from "purchases". I want to reinstall an app but the store wants to charge me again!

I wanterd to reinstall Civilization V, but the button was with the price, not the word "install". I checked the "purchases" section and discovered thar all my purchases made before february 2012 are missing!
I have the store report showing thar I really bought the apps with the same user ID. What is happening? What to do?

They suggested trying to change the country back to see if it would be possible to download them again.
Yes, this is the proper work-around as a tech solution. Make sure you have your other purchases all downloaded cause you'll lose them from the cloud too whe you revert back.
