Apple store & iTunes account: are same thing???

Maybe it is a stupid question....I have an account on Apple store (therefore an Apple ID): can I use it on iTunes store or should I create a new account specific for iTunes? in the second case, can I use the same Apple ID (which is my e-mail address)?

In iTunes, select Store.
Scroll to the bottom and click on the flag icon ball at bottom right corner.
Select the country you are in.

    Hi Don ...
    "Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

  • Transferring PayPal funds to an iTunes account to buy things on Apple Store

    Hey, I was wondering if it were possible to transfer my PayPal funds to an iTunes account to buy things on the Apple Store since you do not accept PayPal? One of the Live Chat assistants told me it were possible and sent me a link here for information on how to do it.
    Thanks,
    *D. Gaines*

    Again, you can't. The Apple Store does not accept PayPal as a payment method. The payment methods they accept can be found here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/help/payments
    I can only assume that the Apple rep was confused and thought you were referring to the iTunes Store where PayPal is indeed accepted as a payment method.
    Perhaps there would be some way you could use PayPay to buy a prepaid credit card of some sort, but that's the only option I can think of for using PayPal funds.

  • HT201493 I have 2 iphones on the same apple id/itunes account, how do I give them different IDs?

    I have 2 iphones (mine & my wife's) on the same apple id/itunes account, how do I give them different IDs?

    I am having the same issue.
    There is no possible way Apple didn't think this the whole way thru!
    Why in the world would I want to create an new Apple ID for everyone in my family & over complicate things?!?  "Face Time" and "Messages" can tie several devices to on Apple ID driven by contact email or phone number.  I am hard pressed to believe that Find my Friends can't be set up in a similar format.
    Please help because this is frustrating me to the point of smashing an iPhone or 2!!

  • Deploy app from iTunes Store to multiple iPads. Without Apple IDs/iTunes Accounts for iPads.

    I can't find a simple answer to this question from Apples flashy "documentation" or from any online straighforward guides.
    There is an app called "Articulate Mobile Player" that we want to deploy to our fleet of iPads. These iPads do not have Apple IDs/iTunes Accounts configured for them to access the iTunes store.
    We have access to the Apple Configurator for Windows and Trend Micro MDM (Mobile Security and App Management for BYOD).
    From what I can ascertain perhaps we need to create VPP account, "purchase" the free app required to gain access to the .IPA file, then either use our MDM solution or Configurator to place the app on devices.
    Will we then need an Apple ID/iTunes Account to use the App?
    Is there further requirements such as certificates and such? The iPads are configured to use the Trend MDM for app deployment as far as I am aware.
    Thanks for the help and hopefully prompt response on exactly what is required for what is a really simple requirement and should not be this complicated.

    That was quick!! So to double check on the statement:
    "If both the Dutch apps + the newly downloaded HK app are visible (ON THE DEVICE), then I should be able (ON THE DEVICE) to switch back to my Dutch Apple ID, to keep receiving updates on my Dutch apps (including, and not limited to, newspapers, magazines, etc), Accepting that I would not be able to receive updates of the HK app."
    This is a valid statement?

  • I just bought a new Iphone and when I connected it to itunes and I downloaded the backup from my last device, now I can't pass this step and every time I connect it to itunes is the same thing.

    I just bought a new Iphone and when I connected it to itunes and I downloaded the backup from my last device, now I can't pass this step and every time I connect it to itunes is the same thing. And I can't download any app because problems with my account regarding the credit card but the information is correct and it says it is not!!!

    You'll have to contact iTunes store support regarding your credit card information problem: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.  I'm not clear on what you're saying about your backup.  Are you saying that when you connect to iTunes it's asking you to restore from backup even though you already have?

  • How many itunes accounts are allowed per computer?

    Hi, I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle configuring all 80 of the iPads my business is purchasing.  I know there is a limit of 10 devices per iTunes account.  How many iTunes accounts are permitted per computer? I tried to just create 8 apple ids, which I was able to do online.  But when I try to sign in to those on iTunes, once I get to the part where I verify with a credit card, I can not get past the 3rd one. I have previously signed in with 2 other accounts on my machine, so I'm wondering if there is a limit of 5 accounts per computer.  Can anyone verify?  If that's true, what suggestions do you have for how to get around or best manage this situation?
    I'm not as much of a techie as I should be.. but thanks in advance for your help!!

    Hi allisonwfrom nc,
    The limit you are referring to is for a single personal Apple ID (not for multiple users) that is allowed to be associated with a total of 10 devices (up to 5 computers and the rest on iOS devices). Example you can have 5 computers and 5 iOS devices, 3 computers and 7 iOS devices, but not 6 computers and 4 iOS devices.
    From http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE
    Association of Associated Devices is subject to the following terms:
    i) You may auto-download iTunes Auto-Delivery Content or download previously-purchased iTunes Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers.
    Again this is for a single user. For multiple users like in schools or businesses you need to use VPP to purchase multiple licenses. http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/
    APP STORE PRODUCT USAGE RULES
    ( i )If you are an individual acting in your personal capacity, you may download and sync an App Store Product for personal, noncommercial use on any iOS Device you own or control.
    ( ii ) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control. For example, a single employee may use an App Store Product on both the employee's iPhone and iPad, or multiple students may serially use an App Store Product on a single iPad located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each iOS Device used serially by multiple users requires a separate license.
    If you are an educational institution or business you will want to enroll in Apple's Volume Purchase Program (VPP) which allows a single Apple ID to purchase multiple licenses of an app.
    There is a free OS X program called Apple Configurator that you can use to distribute the VPP codes to your fleet of iPads. Apple Configurator uses a single Apple ID to install apps on your iPads. Configurator will also allow you to install free apps on multiple iPads using a single Apple ID.
    There are a few things I recommend you do to get started:
    First I would watch the iOS Deployment Model Videos on the left side of this page:
    http://www.apple.com/education/resources/information-technology.html
    Then I recommend you read through these two guides:
    iOS 6 Education Deployment Guide
    http://images.apple.com/education/docs/ios_6_education_deployment_guide.pdf
    Apple Configurator Help Guide
    http://help.apple.com/configurator/mac/1.0/
    This will give you a solid foundation for managing iPads with Apple Configurator. Once you read through these guides you will likely have more specific questions that you can post to these forums.
    Hope this answers your question!

  • HT4623 I updated my mini, but some of my apps are no longer available. One of them I purchased from the Apple store.  They are grayed out with the word "waiting" underneath the app.  Any suggestions?

    I updated my mini, but some of my apps are no longer available. One of them I purchased from the Apple store.  They are grayed out with the word "waiting" underneath the app.  Any suggestions?

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

    I'm going to give my old iPad to my granddaughter, I want to create an account for her, but I want to do it on my computer so there are no worries about who is spending credits for that account. Don't know how this will work, or if its possible to two iTunes libraries.
    Okay.
    She's going to use your computer to sync with iTunes.
    Create an new computer login on your computer for her. This will keep her stuff separate and she won't be able to mess with any of your info.
    Log into her computer account.
    Launch iTunes.
    Create a new iTunes account for her. See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
    You can enter a credit card to create the account then delete the CC info. Or you can use an iTunes gift card and she can fund the account with gift cards instead of using a CC to make purchases. This is an easy way to control spending.
    on the iPad, go to Settings > iMessage > Off.
    Then Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content & settings.
    Once it finishes, plug in the iPad, select it in iTunes and this will set it up as a new device. Enter all your granddaughter's info.
    When she wants to sync her iPad or use iTunes, she needs to log into your computer with her account.
    Then the iTunes library she uses will be only hers.

    Yes. Just make sure to deactivate the license on both systems using Apple menu --> Deactivate while one of the suite programs is running.

  • Multiple iphones / itunes accounts on same computer

    We now have 2 iphones and want to administer on same PC.  How do I set up 2 iTune accounts on same PC?

    If you're are using the same AppleID, then it's easiest to sync them from the same user account.  iTunes will recognize them as two devices and allow you to set each up the way you want to.
    If you are using to different AppleIDs, then it's best to sync each to a different user account, with the iTunes logged into the correct AppleID on that account.
    Note, you will only be able to run Match or redownload purchases for one AppleID per computer.

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Let us know how far you get, or results.
