Apps from multiple accounts

I'm sure this is posted somewhere, but my searches didn't come up with anything. My dad just got an iPad. My sister's had an iPod touch for a while. How can they share apps, while his name/account is the one that the iPad recognizes? This applies to multiple accounts as well (my account and my mom's account).

One computer and one account can accomodate as many iOS devices as you like; legally, as many as are in your family household.
There are a lot of variations of "multiple accounts" i.e. more than one Apple ID, more than one iTunes Library, more than one computer or loging account to a single computer, etc You should do some research and then if you have specific questions, come back here. Here are some places to start:

  • Will apps from multiple accounts sync on one device

    When I first started using iTunes I was too young to have an iTunes account so I used my mums to make purchases to sync to my iPad via the computer. A few years later I had created my own account when I got my laptop mainly to purchase movies to watch and music for my iPod however the email I used I no longer use as it keeps getting spammed.
    I recently purchased a new iPad via the apple store(waiting for delivery) which I made a new apple account for what I am wondering is that as I did all of my app syncs for my old iPad via my computer all my apps are on my iTunes on my laptop however I was wondering if I were able to sync up my apps, music and new apps to my new device via my laptop without issue as they have come from multiple accounts.

    As long as there are five or fewer Apple IDs involved, you won't have a problem syncing the content. Note that the applications can only be updated from the Apple ID used to download them, and this may also apply to in-app purchases.

  • Using apps from MULTIPLE accounts on single iPhone

    Hello,
    I have two different accounts with Apple (one for the Portuguese and another for the Dutch store) to have access to apps that are only available to specific countries/markets. With iOS 4 I was able to purchase and run apps from either store without any problem.
    After I installed iOS 5, I can only run apps that are available to the store that I am logged in at the moment. The apps from the other store just quit/stop right after starting.
    Is anyone else having the same problem? How do we fix it?
    Thank you!

    At first I tried to connect on facetime from my imac account to my MBP computer but was unsuccessful because I suspect I was using the same email for both.
    Then I activated facetime on the imac for my wife who has an account on the imac and then tried from the MBP to connect to her account on the imac and am unable to do so. I can use her account on the imac to connect to my mbp.
    Has anyone else been able to make such a connection. It would seem to me that it does not matter which account on the imac one is using.
    Thanks,

    I have made successful FaceTime connections both to and from every possible combination of my iPod touch, Mac Pro, and MacBook Pro.
    In order to connect FaceTime between different devices, each device must have a unique identity.
    For Macs and iPods touch, these identities must be unique Apple iDs. If you have done this and can connect in one direction but not the other, check the typing carefully. One of the devices may have an error in the correct contact info.

  • Can I use Apple Configurator 1.6 to install Apps from multiple iTunes accounts on 30 iPads

    Can I use Apple Configurator 1.6 to install Apps from multiple iTunes accounts on 30 iPads in South Korea?

    Thank you again.  I am actually just using a single computer at thsi time but will be setting up a Mac Mini in a day or so.
    I actually believe I authorized my Mac Book for both my wife and my iTunes account.  Yesterday when I hooked her iPhone up it told me that my computer was not authorized to download an app, i had to authorize this macbook. 
    So if the Apps from both iTunes account  is on my Mac Book and I hook up my iPhone it will allow my to transfer the apps from my computer to my iphone?  So lets say I am logged into iTunes account #1 and I try to use an app from iTunes account #2 will I have to do anything special?
    Again thanks

  • Installing a LOB App for Multiple Accounts On The Same Surface Device

    Hi,
    When installing apps to iOS & Android there is no concept of a local user account, and an app can only be installed once. For Windows devices, a single device can have multiple accounts. Those accounts can be local or domain and have administrator privileges
    or not.
    We are planning to use the Device Enrollment Manager concept in Intune to enroll approximately 200 non-domain joined devices. Each device will have two local accounts - one in English and one in French. We have a LOB Windows App that works in both
    languages. We do not want the local accounts with the App to have administrative permission.
    It seems you need local administrator permission to enroll the device. If I then install the app from this account, it works. However, I need the app installed on the local English and local French account.
    When I log locally into the device using a standard account and log into the Company Portal, it shows the app as installed. It is not, however, installed for that user and is not accessible. Note that I'm using the same Intune account. It is only available
    to the local administrator account. The only option I have is 'Re-Install'. When I select that, nothing happens - it is stuck in the "Installing..." state.
    If I only enroll the device using the local administrator account and then log into the local standard account to install the app, it doesn't show as installed. When I choose to install it, it gets stuck on Installing.
    I'm missing something here...
    Is it possible to install an App from Intune more than once on a Surface device? Do the Intune accounts need to be unique per-install? Is it possible to install the app without local administrator permission?
    Thank you!
    -jd

    An update. If I:
    Enroll a Windows Surface using a local admin account
    Request to install an app from a local standard account it appears stuck on Installing...
    Log back in as the local admin account and wait, the app appears.
    Questions:
    Can the same app be installed into multiple local accounts on the same device? It doesn't look like it.
    Is the local account used when the device is enrolled the only local account that will install Intune apps?

  • Receiving Email from Multiple Accounts?

    Is there some way of receiving email from multiple accounts in one centralized account? It was automatic with my Blackberry. Having to switch back and forth between accounts is a pain, and potentially dangerous if driving. If the iPhone email app can't do it, is there a third-party app that can?
    Thanks.

    No, there's not. Email accounts are kept separate on the iPhone.
    Having to switch back and forth between accounts is a pain, and potentially dangerous if driving.
    As opposed to just reading your email all accumulated into one inbox while driving - that's perfectly safe, right?? I'm sure not having to switch from one email account to another while driving frees up your attention for more important things, such as reading the newspaper or doing a crossword puzzle.
    Please consider adding a location to your profile so I know which roads to avoid...

  • HT204053 How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    Apple will not permit transfer of applications from one account to another. Suppose your mom has presented an iPad to you and before presenting she has downloaded some Apps with her account. If you want to update those Apps, you must know her pass word or send the iPad to her and request her to update and give back. If you feel it is time consuming and difficult, the best way is purchase new iPad and down load  the latest version of App. Whenever you come across you go on purchasing new iPad. This will help you to have latest version of iPad with you.

  • HT1386 how can I transfer purchased apps from itunes account to old iphone

    how can I transfer purchased apps from itunes account to old iphone?

    You can sync them under apps on iTunes if they are in your iTunes library.
    you can go into the App store on the device, tap on "updates" and then "purchases" download the apps you want.

    Can I access music from multiple accounts on one cpu

    Here's one option: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12366
    But frankly you'd be better off creating unique user accounts on the computer and having seperate iTunes libraries for each user as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495

  • How can I delete an app from my account definetly?

    How can I delete an app from my account, not just from the iPad,  i want to delete some from "purchased apps", hopee you can help me

    Rudegar is correct - you cannot remove the app permanently from your account. There has been much discussion about this on the ASC site and many users have concerns for many different reasons. As suggested send feedback to Apple.
    But remember this - your account is a part of Apple's official and legal sales records. In the real world - you just cannot delete a record of sale - for accounting reasons and for legal reasons.

    Not necessarily...
    You would need to check the Terms and Conditions for the Mac App Store and possibly iTunes for clarity on that assumption...

  • Transfer iPhone Apps from One Account to Another

    *Hello everybody,*
    *Since I'll be moving to Germany soon to study Medicine, I've created a new iTunes account which is the one I use regularly. I was wondering if there is a possible way to transfer paid apps from one account to another for the same iPhone, and if it's not possible what do you suggest so I can still use my paid apps with my new account.*
    *Thank you*

    What you would do is on computer authorize other account for that computer. So you computer is authorized to play both accounts. Then you can sync apps from both accounts to your phone using the same computer as before.
    My wife and I both have our own accounts and each of our instances of iTunes have authorized each others accounts for that computer. So I can sync her apps and she can sync mine. Just becomes a pain when you update an app via the cell phone when updates come out as trying to do all at once usually fails if the apps for updating are for each account. So have to do one at a time or just have them update via iTunes and sync.

  • Access Canon MX860 from multiple accounts on iMac over WiFi

    I bought a Canon PIXMA MX860 yesterday and set it up using my account on our iMac running 10.5.6. The printer is connected over WiFi. I can print and scan from my account.
    When I try to print from another account on the iMac (my wife as an account and we have a guest account) the printer queue says "Printer is currently off-line". I sent a message to Canon, they told me to set permissions for "Everyone" to Read & Write on the Library folder. I tried this for:
    /Macintosh HD/Library/Printers/Canon
    and all enclosed items. Still doesn't work.
    Has anyone else set up the MX860 to print from multiple accounts on a computer? Did you have to do anything beyond the procedure specified by Canon?
    Thanks!
    Matt

    Hello Matt,
    I don't understand why Canon support would have got you to change permissions on the Canon folder. This is not normally required.
    I have the MP980 connected via wireless, and I can print to it from my Admin account and a standard account I made up just to check. What account type do you have set for the missus?
    I also would have thought that the printer off-line message would have had more to do with her account not being able to access the network connection, rather than not being able to access the core Printers folder.
    If using her account, you open the Print Queue and select the Utility icon, and then set the Canon IJ Printer Utility to network, does the MX860 display? And if you select it, can you peform any of the Maintenance functions?
    Also, if you connect the MX860 directly to the Mac via USB, are you able to print to it using her account?

  • HT204074 A new Windows install of iTunes 11.01.12 will not pick up the past purchases of Apps from my account

    There's a number of free and a few purchased iPhone apps that were downloaded to an iPod Touch in the last couple of years, none of which will show up in a new Windows installation of iTunes. The goal of them showing up on a computer is the ability to delete many of them no longer used.
    Here's a sequence of actions in an effort to get them to show up on a new Windows iTunes 11.01.12 installaton:
    1) Purchase of an iPad, where all the purchased past store apps display correctly under the "Purchased" tab
    2) Installed the latest iTunes on a Windows 8 computer in order to display, then delete all unwanted app store "purchases," whether free or paid.
    3) Had five defunct authorized past installs of iTunes which needed to be wiped out in order to authorize a new install. Did that.
    4) Successfully authorized the new Windows installation of iTunes 11.01.12 with one and only ID ever made, and it shows that, as well as the new iPad as both authorized with the same ID.
    5) Under the "Preferences" menu, then Store and Advanced, checked Apps under Automatic Downloads. Always check for available downloads and Download pre-orders when available are also checked.
    6) Went to Store menu item, then chose "Check for available downloads" from there. No legacy apps are available and it says: "All purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID."
    The result of all this is that there's still about 30 apps that had been downloaded for an iPod Touch device which don't display in the Windows iTunes installation and thus are still not available for removal.

    It also says that "Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPhone", but the only setting I can find is to disable the iCloud notes altogether.
    You can change the Default Notes account with which your iPhone syncs by going to Settings > Notes and then tapping "Default Account" from there you can choose iCloud, On My iPhone, and possibly Outlook.
    Also, a workaround for the issue is using third-party apps designed to backup your iPhone notes.
    Thanks for the tip regarding the third party product (CopyTrans).  This does look like a good workaround
    Unfortunately your suggestion re setting the "default account" is inaccurate.
    This sets which account new notes will go into, not which account iTunes syncs to.
    My default notes account is already set to "On My iPhone", but iTunes refuses to sync it if the iCloud notes account is also activated
    My original problem remains.  I still cannot sync to PC while iCloud is one of the active accounts.
    Given that notes and mail and calendar all allow for multiple accounts, it seems crazy to me that you can only sync the iColud account if it is activated as one of the multiple accounts.  Any other accounts are ignored by iTunes !!!!
