Apple Id on different mac account doesn't see App purchases

I have one Apple Id being used by one iPhone and one iPad
On the same Mac the iPhone is used under one Mac user account
The iPad is used under a different Mac user account, but the same Apple Id
If the purchases are linked to the Apple Id why is it that when I go into iTunes under the account used for the iPhone (no device connected) I can neither see or download the apps purchased using that Apple Id when using iTunes on the  Mac user account used for syncing the iPad? Same Apple Id. This doesn't make sense to me as surely the device is authorized to the Apple Id on that machine. I can even see the purchases as a dated item in the account details within iTunes but cannot download them when using the other Mac account.
What's the go?

  • Using a different .Mac account in iPhoto

    We have a .Mac family pack. My wife and I each have a personal account and we would like to use a completely different .Mac account to post our web galleries, but I don't want to have to create a new user on my Mac just to use iPhoto. Is there a way that iPhoto can use a different .Mac account than the one associated with my user account on my computer to publish galleries?
    Thanks,
    Aaron

    I assume the settings you are refering to gives that delay for marking the messages as read when highlighted for that period of time. Probably for scrolling through the list without changing the unread status. Lion doesn't have that selection, so I can't test that at the moment.

  • Mac Pro doesn't see third monitor

    Guys:
    My Mac Pro doesn't see all three of the monitors that I have hooked up...what am I doing wrong?
    I previously came to you for your expert advice about video cards...I went and upgraded my Radeon 4870 which was running two monitors (Eizo and NEC) to a ATI Radeon 5870 in order to run three monitors (my new Cintiq)
    When the Cintiq was not hooked up yet, the Mac saw the Eizo and NEC. When I connected the Cintiq...the Cintiq and the NEC show up but not the Eizo.
    I went and upgraded the video card so I could run all three monitors because I didn't want to plug and unplug the Cintiq whenever I needed it. I believe I did my due diligence as far as research was concerned to ensure this would all work together...I'll be pretty bummed if this configuration can't do three monitors not to mention the financial cost.
    Any help would be appreciated...as always.
    Thanks!

    I read your links, if I understand correctly, it may work with Dual Link DVI adapters?
    My monitor connections are:
    Eizo: DVI with the cord that came with the monitor (unsure if DVI single or dual link)
    NEC: VGA to mini display
    Cintiq: DVI to mini display (think it is a single link DVI)
    Thanks!...so what do I need to go buy?
    Here's a partial answer (need more info to answer about single vs. dual link, more about that later).
    In the Mac Pro (Mid 2010)... document I referenced above there's a key note:
    Note: The Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adaptor and Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor are considered active adaptors.
    So if you get the apple mini-displayport to VGA adaptor that will count as one of the active adaptors.  I use one of those incidentially but I am not sure but it may be that all mini-displayport to VGA adaptors are consider "active".
    Now for the single vs. dual link DVI question.  It depends on the max resolution of those monitors (or the max you want to run them at).  Single link DVI has a max resolution of 1920 x 1200, while dual link DVI can display a resolution of 2560 x 1600.  So that's why I cannot answer this part of your question (you didn't specify the max resolution).  If you only need single link active adaptors they will certainly be a lot cheaper than dual link. 
    Also note, you should only need two active adaptors on the card to support 3 monitors.  So only one of the remaining connections needs to be an active adaptor.  The other can be passive (much cheaper).

  • TS2057 mac mini doesn't see dvd

    Recently my mac mini doesn't see dvd's when i put them in to play.

    I have to agree with Dah●veed and use an > LG GE24LU20 Reviews that I call Brutus.
    Not only has Brutus spared the SuperDrives in both my 2006 iMac and 2010 Mac Mini, but he runs circles around the SuperDrives when it come to burning, importing, playing, even booting from System Install and Upgrade Disc's.
    Other External DVD Drives that are highly reccommended here in the forums, are:
    OWC's > SuperDrive DVD, DVD Dual-Layer, CD-R/RW, Blu-Ray Optical Drive Solutions FireWire, USB2, eSATA
    and the LaCie's > LaCie - LightScribe DVD±RW, Duplicators and Blu-ray - USB 2.0 & FireWire

  • Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him mine. Want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address.

    Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him my 4s. We want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address on 4s iPhone. Also, when I tried to change iMessage I got a message that if I deleted my id (which seemed to be the only way to get my husband's I'd there), I would not be able to receive iMessages on any device.
    Would someone kindly tell me how to set up th 4s for my husband so that we can keep our info separate? It would be most appreciated! Thanks!!

    Hey Fagen!
    You will want to see the following article for guidance on achieving the result you wish to achieve:
    What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
    I would just follow the instructions from this article to give your unused 4s to your spouse. Since you have already started using your 5s, you will still be receiving iMessages on that phone and will have no need to receive them on a device that has been replaced. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • Publish web gallery to a different .mac account

    Hi Friends.
    Can I publish web galleries to both of my .mac accounts from the same Mac?
    It seems like I might have to create a different user account on the MAc itself and make the other .mac account the default for that different user. I would really rather not do that, as I have one iPhoto library with all of my photos for every aspect of my life and work.
    Thanks for any guidance.

    To make is more convenient to do that you could create a second user account, set it up for the other .Mac account and publish from there. You could either use two separate libraries or put your library on an external HD so both account could use it without ownership/permissions issues.
    You can also set up fast user switching so you wouldn't have to log out of one account to get to the other.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • 2 iphones 1 computer. updated my wifes phone to ios 5 her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts are on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user accounts on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal?

    2 iphone 4, 1 computer. i upgraded to ios 5 and just updated my wifes phone as well. her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts were put on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user acct on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal??

    Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

  • How to publish from iWeb to two different .mac accounts

    my household has two separate .macs account and we want to publish from iWeb to the two different accounts which I cannot figure out. thanks

    I discovered I could duplicate Domain.sites2 (~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2). I named one "Domain de.sites2", and the other "Domain daru.sites2". Then I opened daru's site and deleted de's, then I opened de's and deleted daru's, and I have two separate sites (with aliases in the dock) that I presume I'll be able to upload separately. Once I get .Mac sub groups created...
    If it works, it saves the hassle of creating other user accounts, since only my wife and I use the computer. Right now, .Mac is telling me I can't create a sub account in my wife's name because she already has a .Mac ID (and a two month free trial account she had to agree to, to join the group) for a group site I manage. I don't think she ought to be required to have a separate identity every time she logs into .Mac.

  • Using iCloud for Apple Mail on different macs

    Hello,
    Is there a way to setup iCloud as the storage for my Apple Mail folders? I'd like to use the same mail folders on different macs.
    Would they be available offline (as would be with imap email synchronization)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Francis

    And if there's no iCloud folder nor entry in the Mailbox List window what should I do?
    I do see a heading for MobileMe and GoogleMail, but nothing for iCloud.
    Your computer's OS is too old for iCloud, 10.7.2 is the minimum and you have something in the 10.6's (I would guess)
    or
    You have a compatible computer but never set iCloud up.
    Which is it?

  • IWeb and uploading to a different .mac account

    where do I set the settings for the specific .mac account I want the web published to?
    I have 2 .mac accounts and I would like to post to both .

    I suspect that this is controlled by whatever details are provided in the Account pane for .Mac in System Preferences.

  • Publish to a different .mac account?

    I would like to publish to another .mac account which I own. Is it possible?
    Sal

    A simple answer: yes
    An explanation. You can do that if you haqve the login and password for this account. So, you can change or create another user in your machine and in his/her system preferences fill in the login and password and you'll have access to publish to this user
    or
    open this user idisk from menubar (go -> idisk) and enter the login and pass.
    done!
