Can i use my itunes account on more than one computer?
i have itunes on my computer at work and at home. any way i can combine them? or, is there a way that something i buy and download onto my work computer can be linked to my home computer? the problem is that my home computer is incredibly old and slow and i'm concerned that it will take forever to download a song, but i'm also concerned that it will crash and then all my itunes music will be gone.
this leads to another question: i have an old mac that i believe still works, and i have an itunes account on that computer and i would like to get that music off of there. how can i do this?
thanks so much for any help, and use VERY BASIC instructions, as i am NOT tech savvy

Hey tferm78!
I have a couple of options for you to consider. First, you may simply want to authorize all of your computers for your iTunes account and turn on Automatic Downloads, so that when you download something on one computer, it will automatically download to other computers:
iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC

You could also look into iTunes Match, a service that would seamlessly link all of your iTunes libraries:
Apple - iTunes - Match
http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
Lastly, here is an article that will help you move your library from one computer to another, if you so desire:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

How can I use my iPod nano on more than one computer?
How can I use my iPod nano on more than one computer?
Hi, China6450.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend setting up Manually manage music. This will only allow music to be synced from the computer to the iPod nano. Here are some helpful articles that will walk you through the process.

Can I have my itunes library on more than one computer
I want to add to my library from a couple of different computers and not have to use the same one all the time. Can I have Itunes on 3 different computers and synch the libraries?
It is possible but requires very careful organization. Essentially you need to replicate your library from one PC that you designate as the "master" to the others you want to use the same library on. See these two of turingtest2's user tips:
Make a split library portable describes how to bring your library into the best layout to make it easy to replicate
Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy describes a robust procedure to copy your library to an external drive, and then to make incremental updates to the backup
This is essentially the approach I use, with three different PCs - desktop running Win7/32 as "master", two different Win7/64 laptops as "secondary":
You'll notice that everything here is one-way, from the master, via the replicated library on the external drive, to each of the secondary systems. It is possible to reverse the process under very specific conditions - an example's best here ...
I update the backup on my external HDD from my master system
I update the library on one of the "secondary" laptops from the external HDD (so this is now a 100% duplicate of what's on the master)
I add to the library on the secondary laptop - new media, modified playlists, etc.
Now, assuming I've made no changes to the master since step 1, I can reverse the process - backing up the library on the laptop to the external drive, then updating the master from the external drive.
The last time I posted this picture/procedure it was suggested that I should accompany this with a "health warning", so here goes - YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING for this to work correctly (or, like they say on TV, "don't try this at home") - there are many ways for this to go wrong and really only one way to ensure it works correctly. The whole approach is predicated on the assumption that you have two (or more) libraries with identical content. Even then, I tend to steer away from the situations where I modify the library on one of the secondary systems and sync this back to the master - not because it doesn't work, but because it opens up a few more possibilities for "dumb user error" that could leave me with inconsistent content across the three machines.
The other possible solution, which would be an option if all the machines you're using are on the same local network, is to use Home Sharing and make use of its facilities to copy media from one library to another - in this case you have distinct libraries with a method for copying content from one to another. You won't, however, be able to have the same playlists on each machine. The other benefit of the approach described above is that because you have several physical copies of the same logical library you can sync your iDevices to any of them without the possibility of the device content being erased because iTunes detects that its previously been synced to a different library.
I'll be honest and state that it took me considerable time to arrive at this setup - with more than a few ****-ups along the way - so you may want to carefully test this out before implementing something like this across several systems. -
Can I use my apple tv with more than one computer
If my computer isn't handy can I use my daughter's macbook pro 13?
appletv access the shared lib of a computer running itunes
it can be many shared libs it access as long as they are on the same wifi network and turned on it should work -
I spend time in both the US and the UK and sometimes not all apps are available in the US store which is my primary account. Can I set up a second account at the UK store with the same Apple ID?
You'll need to set up a second account with a different Apple ID. You cannot use a single Apple ID in two different iTunes Stores at the same time.

Can we use same program ID for more than one RFC scenarios
Hi experts,
I am working on a RFC to FILE scenario. I have created one TCP/IP connection in SM59 with a program ID. Can we use this program ID for more than one scenario. I have written code as below
data: iquote type standard table of ZIQMD initial size 0,
IPRODUCT type standard table of ZPMS initial size 0,
wa_quote type ZIQMD,
wa_PRODUCT type ZPMS.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER'
TABLES
I_QUOTE = iquote .
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER' in background task DESTINATION
'ID4'
TABLES
I_QUOTE = iquote .
COMMIT WORK.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER'
TABLES
IPRODUCT = IPRODUCT .
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER' in background task DESTINATION
'ID4'
TABLES
IPRODUCT = IPRODUCT .
COMMIT WORK.
when i am executing the code like this. i am able to send the data to 'Z_CBT_RFC_QUOTEMASTER' , but iam not getting data for 'Z_CBT_RFC_PRODUCTMASTER' interface. ID4 is the connection that i have created in SM59. with program ID as ABCD.
Can i use the same connection for all interfaces.Please help in this, if we can use same connection for all interfaces. then how to make changes in XI.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Poorna.Just tried this and I can confirm that my earlier understanding was correct!
One of my colleagues confused me out and the conclusion is,
1. You need a separate TCP IP Connection for every interface with a Unique program ID.

How can i get apple tv2 to recognize more than one computer in my house
how can i get apple tv2 to recognize more than one computer in my house, I just got it and can only find one of two computers in my home
Same here. I have 1 ATV2 and 2 computers and each has separate iTunes accounts (mine and my wife's). The ATV menu says "computers" so I presume you can have more than 1 computer on 1 ATV. The big question is how do you set it up?

Can my iPhone 4 be synced to more than one computer?
I don't have access to the original computer that my iPhone 4 was synced too. I have a new iPhone 4s due to a contract upgrade, and want to transfer the information from my old phone to my new. However, when my boyfriend has tried to synch it with his computer, by choosing the backing up option in iTunes nothing actually happens. I really don't want to lose the information on my old phone. What can I do please?
The short answer is no. You can't sync to more than one computer at a time.
The longer answer is contained in one of the many many threads about this exact same subject that are already posted in these forums.
