Can I have two accounts in two countries one one device?

I am an American living in China most of the time.
I would like to setup an Apple account in China and another one in the US.
The China account will use Chinese servers and provide access to Chinese apps.
The US account will use US Servers and provide access to US apps.
Can booth accounts be active on the same device? at the same time?
Can I have contacts, calendar and email active from both accounts at the same time?

You can set up two separate iCloud account, for which you will need two separate Apple IDs.
You can sign one account in at System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - this will be the 'primary account'. You would enable Mail, Contacts. Calendars etc. as required.
You can then sign in the other account in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, Contacts and Calendars. The email Contacts and Calendars will appear alongside those for the primary account, listed under the separate account name.
The secondary account will not get 'Push' email, but will check the server periodically; and only the primary account can use Photo Stream and Find My iPhone/Mac/iPad.

  • Can I have paid apps on more than one device and how?

    This must have been answered before, but I wasn't sure how to search for it, so apologies in advance...
    I have several Apple devices and I want to put the paid apps I have on one device on another as well. I would have assumed this was possible - perhaps via iTunes, but I can't see how to do it.
    It doesn't seem to make any difference whether I restore from a previous device's backup (to the new device), or create a 'new' device.
    So, for example, I have bought Air Display for my iPad mk1 and I now want to put it on my iPad mini as well. (I don't want to use them simultaneously.) The iPad mini is set up as a new device, so hasn't been restored from the iPad mk1's backup.
    As another example, I have an iPhone 5 that I restored from an iPhone 4s backup. Most things were installed, but none of the paid apps came across and they're not listed in my iTunes library.
    Do I have to buy them all again? Or am I doing something wrong? I would have assumed that they would be stored with my account details (all the devices are set up with the same Apple id).
    Many thanks.

    It is possible, I have some of my apps on my iPad and iPhone (and some of them on an old iPod Touch). A backup doesn't contain the apps, just their contents and settings, so unless the actual apps are on your computer's iTunes then restoring to a backup won't copy them onto it.
    You should be able to copy your apps (and other iTunes purchases so that you have copies of them and so that you can sync them either back to the same device if you ever need to restore it, or to other devices that you own) from the device that they are on to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases) and then sync them to the other devices (assuming that you have the relevant iOS version on them and the apps are compatible e.g. some apps are iPad-only, and some require full-phone capabilities so are iPhone-only). Or you can re-download them on your computer's iTunes and sync them or re-download them directly on the device that you want them on.

  • Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer?

    Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer and if so how do you access them without syncing each others music?

    Yes. Use separate iTunes libraries(launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down as needed), or different user accounts on the computer.

    Hi all

    Yes, you can. Apple IDs are really not meant to be shared.

  • CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

    CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

    The problem with making separate accounts is that this is a laptop, so likely not a huge hard drive, and if the three iTunes libraries need to have a lot of the same music (because everyone or two or three like some of the same stuff) you end up with double or triplicate copies of the music on the hard drive eating up drive space. Since they don't use his laptop normally, creating more accounts (with all the associated files and drive space usage each account would eat up) it probably isn't worth it.
    Instead, the best approach is like Chris said, to make playlists for the girls in the main library and then set up the various iPod to either sync everything (if big enough) or sync only specific playlists (if not big enough).
    Alternatively, they can set their iPods to manual syncing and then when Dad is visiting they can hook up their iPods and "shop" the library and drag in whatever they want to add to the iPods and delete what they no longer want.

  • Can i have two people on my itunes account?

    Can i have two people on my itunes account? Can my son have his own email and password on my itunes credit card account?

    No.
    To be correct, there is no such thing as an iTunes credit card account. There is an iTunes account with credit card info (if you choose to add that info).
    I suggest you create a new account for him. You can use your credit card if you wish (i would NOT recommend that as there is no way to limit purchases).
    You can use your CC to create the account then immediately remove it after creating the account.
    Then give him gift cards to add to his account or give him an iTunes allowance.

  • Can I have two accounts for one IPod touch?

    I have two homes, two computers (one in each home), and one IPod touch. I already have an account set up on one computer in the one home. I have a second home that I'm at about one week per month. I just want to be able to buy itunes at the second home and download them also to my one IPod. In other words I want to be able to get ITunes from two computers to the just one IPod. Is that possible? My son doesn't think I so.

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. In this mode you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library. You can also authorise each computer to use songs purchased from the same iTunes Store account:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    Syncing Music to iPod

  • Can I have two accounts on one imac

    can I have two accounts on one imac

    You have no idea how happy i would be to be proved wrong on this .. there are loads of posts in the discussion forums saying its impossible. If you can point me to where we are going wrong it would be very much appreciated. This is what we have tried ...
    1. Create a 2 iTunes libraries on a single computer login (switching with the ALT key when starting itunes)
    2. Create a new user account on the computer, create an iTunes library on each individual login.
    In each scenario, the same thing happens. We can
    - Start iTunes in the right library
    - Log in to the iTunes store etc with each account.
    The problem comes as soon as you try to download a purchased item, ie if I buy a song on my iPhone then try to down load it from the "purchased items" of iTunes account it was purchased under. iTunes gives a message saying that if i download something bought under iTunes Account 2, iTunes account 1 will be disabled from downloading or auto-download for 90 days as "this computer is already associated with an Apple ID"
    Should probably have put this into the origianl post for clarity, apologies. i didnt really mean "logged in", we can log in to each iTunes account from the different libraries, but we can use the purchasing or download functionality - hopefully this makes more sense.
    If you know how to set this up properly, it would be amazing if you could share it here?
    Many thanks

  • Can u have two icloud accounts attached to one itunes account

    i would like to have my daughter ipod touch on a different account so that i dont recieve her texts on my phone.  can i have two icloud accounts to one itunes account so that i dont have to open another itunes account and repurchase all her apps and music

    No really.  See:
    Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
    You can resolve the Messages and similar FaceTime problem by first setting them up using the Apple /iTunes ID email address and then adding another email messaging/calling email address and then deleting the Apple/iTunes ID email address.
