Can I sign in to my iTunes account and library on a computer that is not mine?

I want to know if I can sign in to my iTunes on a different computer than I usually use.  I want to be able to access my library on someone else's computer, but I don't know if that is possible.  I definitely don't want my library to get mixed with someone else's either.  And if it is possible, can two people sync to the same computer without getting their libraries mixed just by signing in to their seperate accounts?
Thanks for any help!

You can access your iTunes Store account from any computer with iTunes installed, but you cannot access the iTunes library - the tracks and other content you've already downloaded - from another computer unless both computers are on the same local network in which case you can use Home Sharing. Home Sharing will not normally work from outside of your home, though. There are third-party utilities for Mac that can allow this, but whether any exist for Windows I don't know.
Regards.

    You can log out of the account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then tap 'sign out' on the popup - you can then sign in with your account/

    Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:

    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

  • Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate account on same macbook.  Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account

    Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate itunes account on same macbook.  Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account.  How do I do this?

    iTunes account is not the same as iTunes library.
    iTunes account is what you use to purchase from iTunes.
    iTunes library is what is on your computer.
    You can have items from multiple iTunes accounts in one iTunes library.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your iPod for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

    Hi 1Donald,
    To answer your question, ''"How can my new desktop have a KEY when it is not even part of the sync yet?"''
    You need to get the key from the new device and enter it into the old device. So on the old device select "Pair a device" and the place to enter the key will show up.
    I hope this helps.

    You do see the devices heading on the left sidebar? If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show sidebar in the iTunes menu and then check to see if the device appears.
    If that isn't the problem, go through the troubleshooting steps. It could be the Apple Mobile Device Service issue.

  • Can I access iCloud on a computer that is not mine?

    Is it possible to access all of my icloud stuff off a computer that is not mine?

    You can access it at http://icloud.com . You wouldn't want to sign into it in System Preferences (on a compliant Mac) as then they would be getting your emails and other data.

  • HT1551 My Apple TV Home Only Has 'Computers' And 'Settings'. Isn't There Supposed To Be Youtube And Netflix And Stuff? I signed in to my iTunes account AND Connected to a wifi

    Before I updated my Apple TV, It had everything, 'YouTube' , 'Netflix' And the iTunes Store. I just updated it and connected to my WiFi network and signed in to my Itunes account. After that there wasnt anything in the home screen, execpt for 'computers' and 'settings'. Any help?

    This always implies the AppleTV is not seeing the internet when it starts up, as it seems to acquire available category content from there.
    Restart your router and unplug and restart your AppleTV - does that help?
