Can I use my Apple ID on another Mac?

Here's the deal: I have a Mac Pro that I use at home with my own, personal Apple ID. I want to buy a Mac for my business and want to have two user accounts on there. One for the business which will have its own, separate Apple ID, and one for my personal use that will have the Apple ID that I use at home on my Mac Pro.
So can this be done? I'm guessing it can be done. But the thing I really would like to know is, can I use the apps that I have purchased on the Mac App Store from my own, personal Apple ID on the business Mac? If so, would they only be accessible from my personal user account or the business user account as well?

That is great news! Thank you for your reply. I just purchased both Pages and Numbers on my personal account soley for business use and was worried I wouldn't be able to use it with my business when I get the Mac up and running. Thank you again for your help.
Regards,
Daniel

Can't use my apple displays with Mac mini

Hey everyone,
I've got a pretty strange problem, and I'm hoping you guys know of a solution to this.
Thing is, I can't use any apple displays with my Mac mini box. Whenever I try to do so I can see that the monitors are turned on, but the screen is completely black (doesn't flicker or anything like that). I know for a fact that both of the apple monitors I tried work.
However, monitors from other manufacturers work just fine! This has got me baffled, what is it about apple monitors that's got my Mac so confused ?

It's possible the analog VGA is working on your mini whereas the DVI digital output is broken. They are two completely different interfaces that just happen to share a common connector on the mini.
Can you possibly get your hands on another, non-Apple monitor that has a DVI input? I would say if all three are not working (two Apple monitors and a third-party one), then definitely something is up with the mini's DVI output.

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

"Method Three
Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

do I need to create another account with a different email account
Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

Can i use my apple id on two phones?

Can i use my apple id on two phones?

Yes, but be aware that you may end up getting duplicates of all Cloud synced information on both phones. Either you disable iCloud altogether or give each phone a separate Apple ID and computer user account.
Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I

HT5622 Can I use two Apple ID account in one device. Are there irregularities

Can I use two Apple ID account in one device. Are there irregularities

You can use one ID for iTunes/iTunes Match, and another for iCloud, without any problems. You can add a secondary iCloud account in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, contacts and Calendars. Its data will appear alongside the main iCloud account though you cannot use PhotoStream with it.

It will be tied to the account that you've redeemed it onto. Have you tried resetting your account's password via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password' ?

Hi-
Can I Use Dual Apple LED 24 Cinema Displays?
Yes.
Either another graphics card or an Atlona box;

Either way will get your 24" LED displays connected.
If you use FCP, the box would be better......

How can we use 2 Apple ID's with 1 Apple TV??

We just bought an Apple TV device. We anticipate liking it, but are a bit stuck at the moment.
We have 2 laptops (PC), 2 Apple ID's and 1 Apple TV device. How can we use the Apple TV with each of our unique ID's?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks - s2557

The answer is YES. with no problems. In fact you can connect up to FIVE units in one itunes (But no more). I have no idea why OR who was the FOOL, that picked only 5 units. This has set limitation on their own product. I currently use 5 Apple Tvs at work for a interdepartmental media network. It just runs slide shows and training video's. I needed 9 units up and running, So I have another computer just to pickup the last 4 units, and shared the file folders I run 5 units at home as well. However you have to leave that itunes up and running. The five authorized limitation is also a pain. Steve said he was dong away with DRM, I guess that didn't work out to well. In short, I run 5 laptops, 3 desktops, 1 Mac Pro, 4 Ipads, 4 Iphones AND one Mac Mini with server 10.5.6 for a family of 4. The FIVE number limitation is a major pain. Best of luck to you.

I can't use my apple id ,stuck at review payment there is no None option for payment

when i login it says your account is not reviewed at stores ,when i click review my account its asking for payment method i dont want to give my card details
i can't use my apple id ,stuck at review payment there is no None option for payment .

Hi!
I'm stuck with similar problem.. I recently started using apple products and because I mostly use my macbook for writing, I didn't use iTunes. One day I managed to get FaceTime to chat with friends and therfore I had to create an apple id. Everything went smoothly until I tried to use iTunes Store with my iPod. iTunes asks me to review my account and although it is fully functional I cannot change any detail because I don't own a credit card, and therfore cannot get any free app!
What is funny, when it comes to creating an account through iTunes, there is an option 'None' in Credit Card section. When I try to do the same using my existing account it simply doesnt't let me do this.
I need a solution to set it properly or an option to permanently delete existing account and recreate it using iTunes. Using another email account is not an option e.g. creating another account must be done with the same email as the one I used for the current account.
I was looking for an answer but with no luck. Apple submitted great tutorials for creating accounts but didn't supply users with answers for problems like mine(which apparently is very common!).
If there is anyone from Apple reading such posts, I'd be happy to see a solution for this problem.
Thanks
