Add device to Apple ID Account

I want to add another phone to my current Apple ID Account. How can I do it?

How to add devices to my ADE account?

Hi there,
I have an old Nook Color from Barnes & Noble and used to transfer ebooks to this device. However, I bought 2 new Nooks HD but when I connect them to the computer, the ADE software does not recognize them (they don´t appear on the right side of the screen like the Nook Color does) so I am unable to transfer the ebooks. Question: how can I add devices to my ADE account in order to transfer ebooks from now on? Looking forward to hearing from you.

On the device, Settings > iTunes & App store.
Sign in with your AppleID.

Remove/Add devices associated with my account

Recently I purchased 2 used MBP laptops, 1 new iPhone, gave my old iPhone to my wife, got an iPad from my work, etc... I'm trying to get all these devices properly associated with my iCloud Account, iTunes, Find my iPhone and My Support Profile.
My head is spinning with all these devices and associations. So let's start with iCloud & My Support Profile
1. iCloud > Settings shows one laptop that I have sold and wiped the hard drive, so how can I be signed into it? It also shows my old iPhone 5, that my wife is now using, so how can I be signed into it? There is no option to remove these devices. I clicked the Advanced Tab > Sign Out Everywhere, but that had no effect. Can this be corrected somehow?
2. My Support Profile. I was able to add my new iPhone 6. Not able to add my (new to me) used MBP. It says it is associated with another Apple ID. The previous owner has said he will try and disassociate it from his account, but I'm not sure he is savy enough to figure it out (or just doesn't care). There is still 6 months left on Apple Care, so I think it's important to correct this. Can it be without the PO's help?

Two devices, one apple id account, want to restore only one and sell

When I upgraded from my iPhone 4 to my 4s, I activated it using the most recent backup file from my previous device. My old phone no longer has a carrier service, but is still recognized in itunes in respect to my apple id. I now want to sell the iPhone 4, and need to restore it to factory settings. How do I perform this task without affecting my current device, my 4s? I am inclined to assume that it will only remove the data/media from the 4, but I want to make sure I am correct before I unintentionally erase all of the info from both devices, which would very definitely cause me to have a stroke. Thanks in advance.

You can erase the device. Make sure you remove it from Find my iPhone as well before you erase.

How do i add my macbook to devices in my iTunes account?

I have recently purchased a macbook air.
I wish to add it to my iTunes account under devices.
I cannot find anywhere that allows me to set this up.
Suggestions would be appreciated.

It will only potentially show in the 'manage devices' section of your account if you use iTunes Match or automatic downloads on it, or if you redownload past purchases on it : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support.

HT5622 Can I use two Apple ID account in one device. Are there irregularities

Can I use two Apple ID account in one device. Are there irregularities

You can use one ID for iTunes/iTunes Match, and another for iCloud, without any problems. You can add a secondary iCloud account in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, contacts and Calendars. Its data will appear alongside the main iCloud account though you cannot use PhotoStream with it.

In sync why am i only seeing add device on both computers when I have an account

I have used sync once before with no problem however I do not seem to get "manage account" or any other choice as per the diagrams in the help files, just add device.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.

You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses.

TS3988 Help - How do I manage to remove an IOS device, in this case an IPhone 4S, from my Apple ID account? I want to use this account only for my IPAD

Hi,
I have managed to initially set up our two IOS devices - my wifes IPhone 4S and my IPAD 2 - in a not so smart way.
I used the same Apple ID account for both devices.
As such it worked, however after a few days we decided to have two different Apple ID accounts, one for each device.
I made a new Apple ID account for my wifes Iphone, and kept the old account for my IPAD.
This is as well working now with both these accounts, however I have found out that my wifes IPhone is still registered under my account.
This I will like to have rectified and cleared, i.e. I want my wife's phone cleared from my Apple ID account, so that my Apple ID account only contain information related to my IPAD 2.
My wife's Apple ID account for her IPhone 4S works fine and we do not need to change anything for this account.
However, how can I clear/edit my own account, so that it only contain information about my IPAD?
For example, when I use the Apps "Find My Iphone" I can see that the system is trying to locate both my IPAD and my wife's IPhone 4S, when I have logged on with my Apple ID account no. This show that one way or the other both devices are registered under my Apple ID account.
I will appreciate some assistance to tell how to rectify this matter,
Regards,
Morten

Problems associating device to Apple ID/user account on my mac

Hiya,
I'm trying to help a friend out by backing up her devices (iPad and iPhone) to my computer so I can update the OS on both.
I had previously sync'd her iPad to my iTunes to back it up, but I then figured afterward it'd be better to create a new user account for her on my computer and sync everything that way, just to ensure that everything is in its right place. The problem that I've come up with is that the iTunes on her user account on my computer doesn't show her device. When I tried to deactivate the device on my user account on the computer, it talked about wiping the iPad which I absolutely do not want to do until I'm assured that it's all backed up first to her user account on my computer. She's had a friend previously who tried to back up her devices and lost everything, so I'm being extra careful to not fall down that path.
I looked at other posts on the Apple support website — stuff about deactivating devices/accounts and all that — but they didn't mention anything about separate accounts on the same computer. I looked at my iTunes Store > Account > Manage Devices and it doesn't list her device, so I'm not sure why it's not letting me disassociate her iPad from my iTunes with the wiping condition. I figured it'd be something to do with sharing a device on multiple Apple IDs, but as far as I'm aware, I've only authorised my computer (or perhaps my Apple ID) permission to sync her device's contents to iTunes. I had hoped that a new user account would get around this as I'm now using her user account with her Apple ID, however no dice. The other annoyance is that she has no music, TV, movies, or books purchased on her Apple ID, only a few apps.
So now I've some how gotten to the point in which I have "transferred" her iPad to iTunes on her user account/Apple ID on my computer and it's got some 90-day timer thing — I have no idea what the **** that's there for since it hasn't been linked to my Apple ID (that I know of), just only authorised on my account/computer.
It's quite confusing and rather daunting. I feel I'm faced with a precarious situation: wipe her iPad and hope that the back-up on my account's iTunes will work correctly; or wait 90 days (why?) to then be able to properly sync her iPad to my computer, by that time I will have left France and can't help her then.
If anyone could please shed some light on my dark position, I would be rather grateful!

It might be too late in terms of time and what has happened with the 90 day lockout problem, but you should be able to create another user account for her on your computer so she can have her own iTunes library. This provide some insight as to how you can do that.
How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer
The 90 day lockout occurs when you associate an iOS device with another Apple ID when you download a past purchase using the second ID. This is Apple's way of preventing users's from downloading each other's paid content for free. There is absolutely no way to overcome the 90 day lockout. You just have to wait it out before the device can be associated with another Apple ID.
This is a great user tip that explains how to transfer the contents of an iOS device into a new iTunes library to create a new syncing library for a user. It might prove to be helpful to you.

Can my husband and I share purchases on itunes, even if we have different apple ID's? Can we sync each other's devices to our itunes account?

Can my husband and I share purchases on itunes, even if we have different Apple ID's? Can we sync each other's devices to our itunes accounts? Before we had it so that, he had the itunes account and synced my iphone to it as a named device, but the problem was, when I used to send imessages, it looked like it was from my husband and not me!

You can set up Messages and Facetime separate from your husband and still use the same iTunes to sync things like music, movies, Apps, etc.
To do this though, you need to get your own Apple ID. You then use your Apple ID to set up Messages and Facetime under your account. This way your Messages and Facetime calls will come from your account and your husbands from his.
And you will still be able to sync the devises on the same iTunes account.

How to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with one iTunes account

We recently received iPad 2's for Christmas and was looking for some advice on how to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with One iTunes Account (Apple Id). I have created or attached other e-mail addresses to our apple id but do not know how to use them on the new devices. Our home MacBook Pro uses our main apple id for FaceTime. The iPads have been setup with the main apple id w/o being able to use FaceTime and iMessage.
Please Help...
I appreciate the help and support.

P and V-
If you are trying to connect to someone with a different Apple ID, I think all the devices should work, but one at a time.
The problem is when you try to connect between two with the same Apple ID. Once the calling device tries to make the connection, it finds the second device to be "busy". That is where each needs to use a different E-Mail address when setting it up.
On iOS devices, when you press the Home button to exit an App, the App may still be active in the background, even when the device is sleeping. If FaceTime or iMessage is merely being active that way, it may be enough to "tie up" the E-Mail address.
From the Home screen, double click your Home button. You will see a list of recent Apps along the bottom of the screen. Press and hold on one of them until they start to wiggle. You will then see a red minus sign on each. Pressing the minus sign will remove an App from the list, and stop it from working in the background. (Click the Home button to stop the wiggling, and again to hide the recent Apps.)
