Apple TV sync'd with one MacBookPro with two iTunes accounts

The music videos on my computer were purchased with two separate authorized iTunes accounts but the AppleTV will only authorize one account. The MacBookPro plays music videos authorized under either account. Is there any way I can use the Apple with both accounts ?

I have my AppleTV happily syncing and playing content purchased by three different iTunes store accounts. All I can think is one or other of the account authorisations needs to be re-entered on the Macbook Pro before you re-sync. Log on to the MBP under the Mac account you are using to sync with the AppleTV, start up iTunes, and double-click to play one track that has been purchased with each of the different accounts.
This will make sure all those iTunes accounts are still authorised - I find sometimes one or other might need to be re-authorised after an iTunes update - and also that they are still readable/playable by iTunes running under that account (ie that the file location in iTunes' catalog is still pointing to the right place). When you then sync with the AppleTV the files should all copy across, and subsequently be playable just fine on there.

Hey apples, how do I get my iPhone 4 sync'ed with my itunes account using my laptop?

Hey apples, how do I get my iPhone 4 sync'ed with my itunes account using my laptop = how do I add my existing itunes from my account from my laptop to my iPhone 4. Thanks.

Overview of syncing iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
Keep in mind that with the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer. Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer. However, non-itunes content such as contacts, calendars, mail settings, notes, etc. (anything in the Info pane) can be synced from another computer.
If you have songs on a different computer, copy them to the computer you use to sync:

HT5654 I have a new iPhone 5s. When I try to sync it with my iTunes account it is unable and advises to update iTunes to version 11.1. Whn I attempted this iTunes advised that the current version I have (10.6.3) is the most up to date!

If you're on a Mac, you need to upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8, which requires that it has an Intel CPU and at least 1GB of RAM.

Can 2 teachers share an ipod touch and put apps on it with two itune accounts

Can 2 teachers share an ipod touch and put apps on it with two itune accounts?

Sure. No problem.
Be aware that ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them. Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password. Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.
Minor nuisance if you choose to update apps from inside the computer's iTunes. If you're logged into the "wrong" account, it's necessary to log out/in to do the update. It's easier if you update from the iPod itself. No need to log out/in but you do need to know the password for the ID.

How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?

How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
Hi there
My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
How do I do this please?
I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
Any advise please?
Thanks

You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

Problems syncing photos with two user accounts on one Macbook pro in iPhoto

Hi, I hope someone can help. I've have a Macbook Pro with two user accounts, my wife and myself. My wife and I both have our own iPhones. We log onto our own accounts and sync perfectly with itunes - so far so good.
The only issue is we have a shared iphoto 'database'. When each of us go into iPhoto we're looking at the same photo library (i.e we can both see the same photos, events, etc), although we make sure we don't both go in at the same time as I've heard this can cause issues.
In iTunes if I sync photos from iPhoto to my iPhone it works fine. If I then log out and my wife logs in and tries the same she gets a permissions error. We've worked round this by deleting the photo cache folder, however if this is done on my wifes account, for example and then she logs out, when I log in I get the same permissions error until I delete the photo cache myself - and round and round we go.
Is there a way that we can setup iPhoto and/or iTunes so we can both sync with iPhoto to our own iPhomes? If its means me 'owning' the iPhoto database and my wife having some sort of read access/view only access, that would be fine.
We're using the latest version of iTunes (9.2.1) and the iPhone OS (4.0.2) and Snow Leopard (10.6.4)

Yes I moved the iphoto library to a mounted volume, as suggested in the apple support pages, and it works fine now.
I also made sure the volume was mounted at log on automatically. The only downside is that I have to make sure may wife doesn't log on and use iphoto whilst I am logged on.

Sharing Apple TV with two iTunes Accounts

I have an iMac with an iTunes Account that is synced with an Apple TV. When I purchase movies on the Apple TV it bills my iTunes Account.
My Wife also has an iTunes Account separate from mine, and wishes to purchase movies on Apple TV and have the fee deducted from her her account.
Is it possible to have your Apple TV bill more than one account?

You will have to log into your wife itune account but from the TV.
Settings, itunes etc......

Will I have problems with two iTunes Accounts?

When I first bought my Mac, I didn’t have MobileMe, and therefore I used my Comcast email address in order to set up my iTunes account. I purchased several Apps, music, and iBooks under my Comcast account, however, since purchasing MobileMe, I have kept myself signed into iTunes under my MobileMe Account, and have made all purchases using my Mobileme iTunes account. Unfortunately, I know this means that I have two iTunes accounts.
For mail, I solely use MobileMe, and any email I get from Comcast, is forwarded to my MobileMe Account. When I get “App Updates” available on my iOS devices (iPhone 4S and iPad2), the “pop up” (which requires I enter my password to allow the download to begin) will be associated with either my Comcast email address, or my MobileMe address (depending upon which account I purchased the App, Music, or Book under). I do use only one single computer for backing up however.
While this hasn’t created any problems using an iTunes hard or wireless sync, I didn’t know if I will have any difficulties once migrating over to iCloud. I’m hopeful that everything works as it has. I don’t have a family account, all purchases under the Comcast and MobileMe addresses currently live locally on my iMac that I use for syncing.
Just wanted to check with you all before I migrate to iCloud, as I didn’t want to lose any of my Apps, Music or Books, nor do I want to have difficulties with App updates (e.g. problems migrating purchases to iCloud that were originally bought under my Comcast Account, or problems updating Apps when updates are available that were originally purchased under my Comcast Account).
Thanks you in advance for any input!
Best,
iDan
PS: I recently updates to iOS 5, and 10.7.2!

My personal experience has been no issues with either browser, including using a secure webmail account access. If others have reported issues, I really can't comment since I haven't had any. I have used my systems extensively in Paris and Zurich, especially at the technical university in Zurich and been satisfied with my access.
Of course, if you have more than one browser installed you can easily switch between them if problems do arise...a lot to be said for options

Can two people with two iTunes account share an iPad

Just a question. I want to share my iPad but not my iTunes account.. How

Yes.
When updating an app that was downloaded with another iTunes account, you must use that iTunes account and password. If the password for each iTunes account is not known by the other, you can't download any apps or iTunes content with the other person's iTunes account and vice-versa. The same for app updates.

How do I delete one of the two itunes accounts on my iPhone?

I used to sync my phone on my daughter's computer, and somehow both accounts (mine and hers) got on my iPhone. When I try to download or update apps, it either asks for my password or my daughter's, and I can't update my apps anymore because I do not have the password to her account. How do I delete her account off of my iPhone? I've looked everywhere online and can't find the answer. Also, I'm now syncing on a different computer without her account, but it still hasn't deleted. PLEASE help

All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection that is tied to the iTunes that was used to download the apps. This means you have apps on your iPhone that were downloaded with your daughter's iTunes account. Apps cannot be transferred or merged with another iTunes account.
Delete the apps from your iPhone that were downloaded with your daughter's iTunes account to prevent being prompted for the account's password when there are app updates for the apps downloaded with the account. An iTunes account cannot be deleted.

I lost my contacts and pictures when I synced up with my itunes account and it synced to my old apple id how do i get them back?

I had contacts and pictures on my new iphone 4 from my old android. I went to sync my music and itunes account and it asked if I wanted to restore. I thought that it meant the music so i said yes. I lost all of my contacts and pictures and it set everything up from the old iphone/apple id that i used to have onto my phone. How do I get the pictures and contacts back?

It also asked if I wanted to update my software and it did that too

Syncing iPad with two user accounts on mac iTunes

Hi,
We have a couple of iPads at home for the family and have ended up in a bit of a mess. I want to clean the setup up once and for all so thought it best to check for some advise before doing anything.
We have two main user accounts on our home computer - one has iTunes containing quite a bit of media (tv and films - some purchased from iTunes, some ripped from DVDs). The other account is my wife's for using - she has her own photos on iPhoto, her own iTunes music etc.
For her iPad we would ideally have it sync with her iTunes on her mac user account but to have it just sync her tv shows with the tv shows from my user account iTunes on the mac.
From the options this seems theoretically possible but need to be sure before I get going.
If it is possible - how would this still work with wifi syncing?
Thanks in advance.
Andrew

How 2 sync 2 iPhones on 2 computers with two iTunes accounts and 1 library?

Hi,
I've been searching a LOT for a suitable answer to my problem, but so far without any luck!
This is what I've got:
1 iPhone4 syncing with one MacBook via iTunes account1 (mine)
1 iPhone3Gs syncing with one XP laptop via iTunes account2 (my girlfriend's)
1TB usb drive connected to Airport Extreme holding the entire iTunes library. All the music, apps, podcasts, etc.
Both iTunes accounts are set up so they point to the 1TB drive, but it's not without problems...
What I'd like, is for both computers to be able to "see" the iTunes library, and add files to it, that'll be accessible from each.
And still sync each iPhone with it's own iTunes account.
Is this possible? Or do I need to use the same iTunes account on all phones and computers?
What I've got, apparently, is home-sharing set up in a way that when I add content from iTunes Account1 to iTunes Account2, it gets added to the iTunes library again, and so I have a lot of doubles and, despite the size of the network drive, I'm actually running out of space.
Is there a way to avoid this?
Best regards,
Jakob Færch-Jensen

First off all I would recommend against shating between accounts since Aperture was not designed for this and your might encounter library corruption.
You might try this tip on Macworld.com. It requires you to use the Terminal though. Make sure you follow the commands exactly, without any typo's before you hit the enter key to execute a command. (And make a TimeMachine backup before you start.)
After you've complete this, start a new library in the place where you set the extended permissions on. Then everything should work.
A seccond tip is to setup the Aperture library on an external drive and set this volume(drive) to ignore ownership permissions.

IPhone sync apps with multiple iTunes accounts

I have a US iTunes account and a UK iTunes account because I am temporarily living in the UK. I am having a problem in which data associated with certain apps on my iPhone are periodically being deleted. When I update apps, I am sometimes required to login to the US store and sometimes the UK store. I think this depends on which store they were downloaded from but I don't know how to tell. I frequently get messages when I try to update that say I need to log into a different iTunes store to do the update. I am guessing that if I were to update apps that were obtained from the UK store while logged in to the US store, it might replace the app with a different version and in the process wipe the associated data. Is that possible? Is there a better way to deal with the situation so this does not happen?

Not sure. There have been other posts about syncing from two computers. Maybe you can find a previous post about this with a forum search.

How do I re-sync my iPad with iTunes on my computer? It is saying the iPad is sync'd with another iTunes account.

Is there someone online that can help me with sync problems between my iPad2 and my iTunes on the desktop. Running MS Windows 7.

Have you ever synced with this computer before? If you did, have you synced with another computer since then?
