Adding Devices to my iTunes Account

Good day all,
I wonder if I can get a quick help over here...
I have Apple MacBook Air (2nd gen.), and an iTunes account to which I have linked an external harddesk to be my iTunes Library. In addition to the iPhone/iPad/iPod/iPad mini, I used to have Apple TV connected to this account.
There used to be streeming connectivty between this (1st gen.) Apple TV and (2nd gen.) MacBook Air, but has not been active for quite some time.
Recently, I decided to buy new Apply TV (latest gen.), and keep the old one specifically for kids moviews and some family photos only. However, when I tried to re-activate the streeming between the MacBookAir and the old Apple TV, it did not re-activate. Additionally, I have dis-connected this old Apple TV from iTune.
Now, when I try to reconnect either to iTunes, or to my shared iTunes Library, I cannot complete the action, cause when I go on my MackBook Air to:
File -> Devices
All the options in that area are de-activated !!
Some info about this Apple TV, in case needed:
Software Version 3.0.2
Connected over WiFi
Can someone help me please?
Thanks in advance...

HT4436 we have 5 devices on one itunes account how do I give them each their own icloud account and still share the itunes account?

You need a unique AppleID for each iCloud account. So grab some free gmail, hotmail, aol, yahoo or whatever email addresses to make five new AppleIDs. Now, everybody make an iCloud account for themselves, and keep the existing shared AppleID and password just for use in the iTunes and App Stores. You can also each use your own unique AppleIDs to make iMessage accounts and keep those separate as well.

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.)

No.
The credit is applied to the account, not the device.

How can I undo manual syncing for all three of my apple devices on one Itunes account?

Open itunes, connect device, select what you want, sync.

Can I put all of my families devices under one itunes account

How do I put all of my families devices under on itunes account? Will this delete all of the existing music on the devices? Previously they have been under 2 accounts.
Thank you

You can transfer your apps (don't know about "and stuff") from your ipod to your computer. See this article [Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848?viewlocale=en_US] for info on that.
If there are items on your ipod that are not on your computer, you will need a [third party app|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_iPodManagers]. I have used CopyTrans in that list, but you can look over what works best for you.
Once you have everything in iTunes, be sure you back up your old touch, which will happen automatically with a sync. That way when you connect your new one, you will have the option of restoring from your backup.

Changing device from one itunes account to another?

I just got an iphone 5 and when my husband plugged it into the computer he accidently put my phone (device) under his itunes account rather than using my Apple ID. Is there any way to move my phone to my own account? Everytime he gets a new app and I sync to the laptop I get everything that he's downloaded or purchased. Please help!
In my efforts to "fix" the problem, I deleted the two iphones from his account in the hopes that I could just reconnect the phones and change the apple ID. Now I can't get them back. I'm so confused!!

1) If you are talking about a different itunes store account, just log out of the old one and log into the new one by going to: Settings, Store, Sign out. Then sign in on the different account. Warning, you'll need to log into the original account to update any apps purchased and still loaded on the ipad. THis is done at the update screen in the apps store when updating.
2) If you are trying to clean off all the data and re-sync it with a new itunes account with new apps and music, pohotos, etc, do the following:
_Warning: This will reset the ipad to factory specs_:
Go to Settings, General, Reset, Erase all content and settings.
Then, just activate and sync the ipad to the new itunes account.

You need iTunes version 11+.

If you enabled Find my iPhone then you should use that. If not, I'm afraid you're out of luck for finding it.
To manage your devices, go to Your Account in iTunes.

Hi..
See, "Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID" here > iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
Your iTunes account is the same as your Apple ID.

I'm managing several devices from my itunes account. If I delete a song from my iphone, will it also be deleted from other family member's devices and itunes?

I'm managing several devices from my itunes account. If I delete a song from my iphone, will it also be deleted from other family member's devices as well as in itunes?

Ok, thanks! I'm pretty new to having multiple apple products. Another question though, if I delete, say Christmas music, from my device and it is still in itunes, will it automatically sync back to my device next time I sync it?

HT2480 two devices on my itunes account, want different apps for each

I have two devices on my itunes account, an ipad I use for business and an iphone I use mostly for personal. I want to keep only business apps on my ipad and most/all apps on my phone, but every time I try to sync, itunes tries to reinstall all of my apps regardless of device.
Does anyone have a solution for how I can have two devices with different selections of the apps I have paid for without downloading all of the apps to each device? I tried just not syncing the ipad but then it had technical problems and the genius bar needed to delete a bunch of notes from the device, so that is sub-optimal.

You need to set both devices up in itunes to sync manually: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

My Wife's Devices on My iTunes Account

I started having two Apple iPhones on one iTunes account with home sharing. I now (presently) have and iPhone 4S and a New (3rd Gen) iPad. My wife now has and iPhone 3GS and an iPad 2; both devices were formerly mine but where transferred and re-named as my wife's devices. Her tastes & my tastes are completely different, I like music on my devices, she doesn't want any music on her devices. We have a few Apps that we home-share and both use, but mostly she has her Apps that she uses and I have mine. We share one Windows7 computer that has 2 users with two separate desktops.
I now set-up a separate iTunes Account on her desktop in Windows 7 and I have mine. However when looking and opening iTunes on my desktop, her devices pop-up and are shown syncing or attempting to sync on my iTunes account. I deleted her Apps and her devices in the Edit>Preferences> Devices screen in iTunes, yet her devices show-up and attempt to sync/run under the Device Tab on the Left-Side of the iTunes window when in my iTunes account, that I deleted, or I thought were deleted.
How do I permanently delete my wife's device off my iTunes account, they're set-up to sync and run and do so in her iTunes account?

If your are recieving mixed information on your phone on multiple devices this is going to be related to iMessage.
On your phone navagate to settings > messages > send and receive.
Check the information in that section make sure it relates to your AppleID and your phone. If you share a AppleID with the individual create a new AppleID for their device and insert that information.
If the numbers don't remove turn of iMessage restart your phone and turn it back it.
If all else fails disable iMessage otherwise turning it off is the quickest fix.

How do i disassociate devices from my itunes account? I have an old iphone 4, PC, and soon to be old iphone 5.

How do i disassociate devices from my itunes account? I have an old iphone 4, PC, and soon to be old iphone 5.

Hey sgallagher5200,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines how to remove an associated device from your account:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID
To remove a device or computer from your Apple ID:
Open iTunes.
Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
Click the Remove button next to the device name you would like to unassociate.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
Thanks,
Matt M.
