Can a family of four share one i tunes account with home sharing?

Can a family of four share one i tunes account with home sharing?

Sure but it depends more on how many and what kinds of devices are being connected to each other for Home Sharing. Up to five computers can be authorized to use iTunes Home Sharing. I don't believe there is a limit on the number of iOS devices, Apple TVs, iPhones, iPads and iPod Touchs, that can connect using Home Sharing.

  • I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks it asks for the old account's password(which my ex changed by now)

    I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/

    Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

  • HT3819 Can 2 apple ID's share music and apps using the HOME SHARING?

    Can 2 Different Apple ID's within the same household share music and apps using the "Home Sharing"?  Or should we continue to just use 1 Apple ID?

  • Can you have more than one iTunes account with home sharing, Can you have more than one iTunes account with home sharing

    Can you have more than one itunes account at one time with apple tv

    My understanding is that the home sharing is based off of being on the same Wifi.  So if someone brings their laptop to your house and connects to your Wifi and they have home sharing on they can connect so you can see his/her iTunes library on your iTunes. 
    I haven't tried this though.  We have two laptops at home, both using my iTunes account and I can see each other's iTunes library, which I'm guessing is what you're probably doing now.  I'd be interested to know if my thought above is true. 

  • How many different Apple TVs can I share one iTunes Store account with?

    I currently have one AppleTV at my home, and one at my mothers home. We both share the same iTunes Store account, therefore we share the movies that each other purchase. I am interested in getting my father and my aunt and Apple TV as well, I want them to also be able to use my iTunes Store account. That way, if say my father and I both want to watch the same movie, we can split the cost.
    I also currently own an iPhone, and an iPad. I'm going to be getting my mother and father iPads as well. I want them to be able to use my iTunes Store account on those devices as well, and be able to stream movies on them.
    I know it says that your iTunes Store account can only be associated with 10 devices, but I'm wondering where Apple TVs fit into that stance. It's probably a stupid question, but I was just curious if the fact that it is iCloud changes anything.
    Essentially, I'm wondering if four Apple TVs, three iPads, one iPhone, and my one desktop computer can all stream my iCloud movie content, simultaneously. I doubt there will ever be more than two or three going simultaneously, but I just want to know the limitations before I buy these gifts for my family members and run into an unpleasant surprise.
    Thank you for your time,
    Charles

    as many as you can other computers with itunes accessing the shared ituned lib
    likely the limitation is the network bandwidth more then number of connected devices

  • I moved some songs from one computer to another with home sharing and now these songs will not play on iTunes on the second computer.

    What can I do without redownloading the songs, since I don't have access to the first computer right now?

    Does it give a reason for why they won't play, or is that a secret?
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

  • HT3819 Can I transfer music from one computer to another via home sharing?

    Can I transfer my music from one computer to another via home sharing?

    So long as they are on the same wifi network, yes.
    Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
    Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
    Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
    If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.
    If there's a lot of stuff in the library you're transferring from, the transfer may take some time.

  • Can you share purchased books with Home Sharing?

    Can you share purchased books (from IBooks) with Home Sharing? Music seems to share fine-books seem to be a problem.

    In iTunes go to Preferences > Sharing and either share your entire library or make sure the Books playlist is checked.
    You may then need to click the Import button to copy the book into your Library, I was not able to actually read the book without taking that step.

    Living in Japan and I'm an American who just signed up with Soft Bank the phone service here and spent a TON of money on an iPhone. I can't figure out how to connect my bank account at home to my app account so I can Skype my family. Please help!!!! I don't have a credit card nor do they gove debit cards to foreigners here, or at least it's really hard so I'm using my bank at home and still have a debit there. My phone number is 8 numbers plus the country code which is strange! Another thing is I was given a phone email that I was told to use for texting but I'm not sure how that works!! It's so frustrating too because no one speaks English here and I'm not very tech savvy. God bless you if you can help :)

    whichever app store you are connecting to, hyou need a credit card with an address in that country. Also, itunes gift cards must be in local currency too.

    Only 'On My Mac' calendars can be published to a web page, but calendars listed under your MobileMe login name for syncing can be shared privately (editable if required) with other MobileMe subscribers, or publicly (non-editable) for general access using a CalDAV client such as iCal or Google Calendar.

    can i transfer itunes purchases from one of my accounts to another of my accounts?

    No, all iTunes purchases will remain tied to the account that downloaded them, they can't be transferred to a different account (nor can accounts be merged).

  • 2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc but it is on so can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer

    2 atv's both have home sharing enabled but one asks to turn on home sharing on my pc, but it is enabled on pc so I  can only use one at a time to watch movies from my computer

    Both atv,s are on the same network, they are wirless and the computer can see them and they are named different.
    what ever one i switch on first gets to stream from my computer and the other one asks for home sharing to be switched on, then if i switch both off and start the other one first it gets to stream and the other one which worked asks for home sharing to be turned on. i have hidden all functionality, netflix etc as these are for my 7yr old kids.
