Can I use my itunes with both my iphone and ipad using one computer?

Can I sync my iphone and ipad on the same computer using itunes installed on the same computer?

Yes - I sync my iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch with the same computer / iTunes and haven't had any issues when doing so. The computer's iTunes will recognise the device and what syncing selections you have for it, so you can have different selections of apps, music, films etc on them if you want.

  • I can't update my apps on both my iPhone and ipad

    I can't update my apps on both my iPhone and iiPad

    Unless you can provide more details about the problem, here are a bunch of things that you can try. They may not apply to your situation, but we have no way of knowing what that is, because you didn't provide specifics.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

  • Someone has used findmyiphone to erase both my iPhone and iPad.

    Yesterday both my iPhone 4 and i pad mini were automatically erased (NOT by me!) within a minute of each other.
    When i went on line I had two message from Apple saying that findmyiphone had done this.(One message about the phone, one about the i pad)
    There was also an email saying that my apple password had been changed.
    I contacted apple support and was able to change my password (and my email password)
    I just turned on my i pod - and it asked for my apple password - but I don't know why it would ask that - it doesn't usually...
    looks like I have been hacked - but not sure where to go from here - or what else the hackers intend to do?
    Has anyone else suffered this and what happened?

    Someone has hacked your Apple ID, and used it to erase your devices. (Or, perhaps, someone who knows you and knows your Apple ID password used this to access your account and erase your devices.)
    An iOS 7 device that has been erased in this manner cannot be restored without providing the password for the Apple ID used to erase it. This is an anti-theft feature, and not even Apple can bypass it for you. You must be able to access your Apple ID, or you will be locked out of the device permanently, and this makes it extremely important to protect your Apple ID!
    Sounds like you have changed your Apple ID password, which is good. You should also change the password for the e-mail account that was associated with the Apple ID, as well as the password for the account currently associated with the Apple ID (just to be safe). Do not use the same password for any of these accounts. If you used the your old Apple ID password for any other online accounts, change those passwords as well.
    In addition, change your Apple ID security questions, to be sure the hacker cannot get back in by resetting the password.
    Finally, you should seriously consider enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID, which makes it nearly impossible for an attacker to manage to take away access to your Apple ID permanently, if it ever gets hacked again.

  • Can I use my iPod with BOTH a Mac and PC???

    Might be an odd question and forgive me if it is an obvious answer. I just got a 30 gigger and connnected it up and charged it with my Mac mini at home last night. I have lots of music on my iTunes on my home Mac mini and I have some music on my work Dell Laptop(with iTunes). What would be the best way to sync up my two iTunes libraries (one on my Mac, the other on the Dell lapper) to the iPod, or is it even possible to use it interchangeably with both the Mac and PC??

    Yes, you can.
    Read through the following article, and make sure your iPod is Windows-formatted using the iPod Updater utility on Windows.

  • HT4914 My wife and I both have iPhones and iPads. Can we both have access to the same iTunes Match library or do we have to have separate subscriptions?  Our devices are synced to the same computer and we currently download titles from the same library.

    My wife and I both have iPhones and iPads. Can we both have access to the same iTunes Match library or do we have to have separate subscriptions?  Our devices are synced to the same computer and we currently download titles from the same library.  We both use separate apple id's on our devices.

    You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.

  • I have a iPhone and iPad on one iTunes account, I have recently bought two further I touches fir the kids , should I set them up with their own apple ids and the can I transfer purchases through all devices

    I have a iPhone and iPad on one iTunes account, I have recently bought two further I touches fir the kids , should I set them up with their own apple ids and the can I transfer purchases through all devices,

    Hi jhyiesla,
    Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
    These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
    1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
    2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
    3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
    4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
    5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
    Further,
    - You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
    - If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

  • How do I use the same Itunes for both my IPOD and IPAD?

    How do i use itunes for both my ipod and ipad? and have everything on both of them.

    You can connect one of them to your computer's iTunes, select it on the left-hand side of iTunes, and then on the right-hand side select the Music tab and choose what to sync to that device - you can then connect, select and sync the same content to your other device.

  • I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes.  Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?

    I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes.  Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?  I want to stop my husbands downloads appearing on my ipad, and vice versa.

    A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

  • HT1459 Just bought a new ipod shuffle for my kid and cannot set it up because it does not show up in itunes. Also the charging light does not light up. what could be wrong, as i am able to see both my iphone and ipad on itunes on the same pc?

    Just bought a new 4th gen iPod Shuffle for my kid. Problem is I cannot do the initial set up, as the device does not show up on iTunes on my PC. Also the charging does not light up. Any ideas on what could be wrong, as I am able to see both my iphone and iPad on iTunes using the same PC?

    I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

  • How can I stream my iTunes library to my iPhone or iPad?

    How can I stream my iTunes library to my iPhone or iPad?

    Thank you so much for the replies.
    Thanks all it took for me to discover that my Sign In was wrong.
    I was using my regular email of ******@Gmail.com instead of correctly using ******@me.com!
    It then went through without a hitch.
    All is well.

  • My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.

    My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.  My password doesn't work with the old email address.  When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist.  Help!!!

    You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials.  This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

  • How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

    How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

    I don't know much about iPhones but when you write "memory" do you mean the data on your hard drive on your MacBook Pro? If so, simply drag the items you deem as useless into the Trash and empty the Trash. DON'T fool around with any of the system items, just your own documents that you feel that you no longer need.
    You can get an answer on freeing up space on your iPhone in the iPhone forum.

    There's iOS apps for iOS which is what iPods, iPads, and iPhones use.  Then there are Mac Apps (which is a different store) which is what run on a computer with OSX.

  • HT1947 After updating My Apple TV to 5.1 I can browse music library using the Remote app on my iPhone and iPad but cannot select a song to play. Is someone else having the same problem?

    I have updated my Apple TV to 5.1. Using the Remote app on my IPhone and iPad I can browse the music library on the Apple TV but I cannot select a song to play. Has someone else the same problem?
    Mats

    I think I found the reason. On my iMac that is hosting the music library a song already was playing. This seems to block out me from selecting another song though my Apple TV.
