Can I authorize 2 apple IDs on one computer?

I'm new to the communities so please bear with me if I post this inappropriately.
My husband and I both have iphones. My two children have itouchs. My husband has an ipad. We also have numerous ipods.
We have two computers in the house. When my husband first bought an ipod, we had a PC. All of his devices have always been synced on the PC using his apple id. When I got my iphone, I synced on our MAC using my apple id. When the kids got itouches, they synced on the MAC using their apple id.
We discovered that anything the kids and I purchased on itunes on the MAC is available to all of us.
We would now like to use home sharing. To do this, both computers must be authorized to one apple id. If the PC is deauthorized for my husband's apple id, I understand he will lose his purchases on the PC (or at least they won't be available until he authorizes it again).
I understand that an apple id may be authorized on up to 5 computers. But what about multiple apple id on one computer???
My questions are basically this...
Can we authorize 2 or more apple id on one computer?
Can I authorize my apple id on the PC and have my husband's apple id remain authorized on the PC?
Can my husband's apple id be authorized on the MAC and my apple id remain authorized?
Can the kids apple id be authorized on each of the PC and the MAC?
Can we have 4 different apple id authorized on a computer at once?
Will authorizing my apple id on the PC de-authorize my husband's apple id?
How's that for asking the same question in lots of different ways? I have seen a lot about a computer using the same id multiple times but nothing about whether I can authorize many different ids on one computer at once.
Thanks for the help.

Each person in your home can have their own Apple ID provided it is tied the their own separate email address.
iTunes permits up to five authorized computers connected to a single Apple ID: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
For this all to work well, however, each user in your household should have a separate user account on the computer they commonly use.

Can i setup multiple Apple IDs on one computer

Hi
My partner and I recently sold our laptops and bought an iMac and want to keep our itunes, music, playlists separate. Is it possible to setup multiple Apple IDs on one computer?
Thanks

HT1390 I've rented & downloaded a movie on my computer in itunes, but it does not show up on my Apple TV. Everything else shows up on Apple TV, including my computer's movie library. When I click on the movie in Apple TV it says I've already rented it.

I've rented & downloaded a movie on my computer in itunes, but it does not show up on my Apple TV. Everything else shows up on Apple TV, including my computer's movie library. When I click on the movie in Apple TV it says I've already rented it and asks if I want to rent it again. No, I just want to watch it.

Unfortunately I have to if I download it on my computer. I have rented itunes movies before directly using the Apple TV and it worked just fine and I could stay in the living room. Without clicking that icon on my computer, there was no way to watch it.

My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If I try to add the email address that I now use (and which is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it.

My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If (while on the iPad) I go to My Apple ID and try to change or add the email address that I now use (and which already is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it. It says : "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID" I haven't really been aware of this as a problem until I tried (for the first time) to sync my iPad to the computer and became aware that certain things wouldn't transfer. What is the solution to this?

What are you having problems with ?
This post was about having updated the primary email address on an iTunes account via a computer - if you do that you might need to log out of the account on an iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of the account for that email address change to be recognised on your iPad. If you don't log out and back in then an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) might continue to show the old version of the iTunes account id.

I just got my apple ID on my computer, but it had someone else's ID before, it wont let me download songs I've already purchased. Even if i wanted to it wouldnt let me purchase those idems again.. what do I do?

Delete and redownload the ones that don't work if doing so is free in your country.

Regarding the internet breech as seen on the news. What advice is Apple giving to its computer, iPad, and phone users?

That does not affect any OS X client or iOS, and there is no action for you or Apple to take.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.

How do I add multiple apple ids to my computer iTunes

How do I add multiple apple ids to my computer iTunes account

You can authorize more than one account.
iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC

HT1206 Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

HT2731 can i have more than one apple id on a computer? As when we go away we want to facetime from our macpro to our main mac at home and both are registered under the same apple ID. Thanks

Can you have more than one apple id on a computer. We are going away and want to facetime from our macpro to the mac computer at home but both are registered under the same apple ID. What should we do ?

I will share with you what I have done to manage this with my family. While the solution isn't without flawes, it seems to do the trick. First, you need to have one person who is managing the synching of everyone's devices. In my family, I have three iphones, about to be four, and five ipads. We all synch to the same apple ID to allow one another to take seemless advantage of our Itunes, which is on our Imac. To synch individual music or video interests, we simply select which playlists we want and manually synch that way. A couple of us use imatch and the cloud to make the entire library accessable as well. With respect to the imessage, mail, contacts, etc. we each have a gmail account for our individual emails, contacts etc. So for instance, my forth grade daughter has a gmail account that we choose to synch her contacts, calendar, etc to and then that is also the account where she receives her imessages from on her ipad and itouch. My son, who has an iphone and ipad, does the same thing, but under settings, he goes to imessage and checks his phone number and his email as his preferred way to receive imessages and texts. My wife and I do the same thing. To avoid having everyone see one anothers contracts etc, we only synch contacts from our individual email accounts. Here is the downfall to this: When you update your phone or add a new device, apple always wants to reset everyone's facetime and imessage settings and then low and behold we are all receiving imessages from one another's friends etc. To work around this, I simply take each of their devices and go to their imessage settings and only check the email and phone numbers relative to their devices. I dont' know is this is the best solution, but it seems to work for us.

My icloud and iphone has one apple id but my computer has another

My icloud and iphone has one apple id but my computer has another (I have 2 ids). What can I do to sync them since I can't switch my computer ID to an 'existing' id?

You should be able to log out of iCloud on your Mac and then log in with the ID used on your other devices.

Two apple accounts on one computer sharing the library

My boyfriend and I currently share one apple id account. So we have one itunes library. However we constantly run into issues with syncing his phone. For example- last night he ended up with ALL of my phone contacts on his phone in addition to his own. and in the past it has tried to give him ALL of my apps even though they were not checked off and i have the controls set to "manually manage" Would creating a second apple id on my computer for him help this issue? if so- is there a way to duplicate all of the music on the existing account into his new account?

The same thing happened to me when I lent a friend my laptop. When she finally added her itunes account, it only downloaded her apps. She makes sure that when she is done with itunes, she logs off so she doesn't get my apps.
Hope it helps.

Two Apple accounts on one computer

My husband and I each had our own computers with our own Apple ID's and iTune accounts. Those computers are no longer in use. Our plan was to share one computer. Can you put two different iTune accounts each with their own Apple ID on one computer?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes, you can. Do you intend having different user accounts, do either of you use automatic downloads or iTunes Match.

My iphone has a different apple id than my computer - how can I connect the two?

I have an apple id on my computer, and I have iCloud - but my iPhone has a different apple id - is there anyway that I can change my iphone apple id so it is the same as my computer? I can't do the iTunes match because it says I am not subscribed, but according to my computer, I am subscribed!!
Any suggestions?

Download a movie purchased on Apple TV to my computer, iPad, oriPhone?

Good evening!
I am trying to get some help in downloading a movie I purchased on Apple TV to my computer so I can put it on my iPad or iPhone. I have the latest generation Apple TV and the thing is I have already done this with a previous movie. Either I am an idiot (that is an option!) and forgot how I did it or the procedure has changed When I purchased and watched The Hobbit on my Apple TV, I was then able to go to the iTunes store and download the movie to my computer. Since I already purchased it, there was an option to download in the store. However when I purchased Star Trek - Into Darkness on my Apple TV, I know longer see that option in iTunes. Again, unless I am not going to the right place or have forgotten somethine. Any help would be appreciated

You don't use the itunes app to watch videos, you use the video app.

Can't hook up my Apple TV to my computer??grrrr..

Just got my apple tv and bought top of the line HDMI cable and want to know how do I connect my Apple TV to my computer so i can synch my movies and start using the unit. The unit is charging at the moment, do I have to wait til the unit is fully charged - does a red light come on.
MY CPU doesn't have the slot that is on the cable. Can I retroffit it to accomodate the cable? My HD TV has the slot to view the movies but I need to get the movies on the Apple TV. Had I known this was going to be so difficult, I would have passed. I need 101 instructions. The pamphlet is not clear, it says this or that and i don't really know what this or that is. Help.

I think you need to study the instructions, I'm not sure whether you have them or some other leaflet but they do tell you how to set the unit up.
