Can i use the same itunes acct on 2 computers?

i set up the original itunes acct on my desktop,and also want to run the same acct on my laptop,for moblity reasons.

Yes.
If you're referring to iTunes libraries, you can just drag the library from one computer to another. Rented movies won't play if moved.
If you're referring to iTunes Store accounts, you can log into one account from both and authorize up to 5 computers, but the purchases need to be separately transferred or redownloaded.

  • I have a Verizon and At&t Iphone 4 can I use the same Itunes account for both phones?

    I have a Verizon Iphone 4 though my job.  I also have a At&t Iphone 4 for my personal phone.  Can I use the same Itunes account for both phone or will I need a separate account for Verizon Iphone?

    I dont live in US, live in Japan.. but I do have 2 iPhones, one 3GS and one 4. I use same iTunes Account on both.
    You might have a little "problem" if your payment were by Credit Card, everytime you try to buy something (I mean, try to download something on your iphone, not from your computer) , your going to need to verify your payment... but if u use iTunes Gift Card, you wont have any problem with that

  • Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both?

    Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both? Everytime I try to sync my new iPad, it syncs all the apps that are on my account. If I can do this, can someone tell me how please???

    Yes you can, easily.  When you plug the first pad in to sync, note the name of the pad on the last pane.  Set up for that device whatever you want to sync.  When you are done, plug the second pad in.  Make sure it has a different name on the left pane.   Then sync to that pad whatever you want.  I tunes will remember what you did on each pad, and will start from there the next time you plug in.

  • My phone number appears on my daughters iTouch and she can receive my text messages.  If I need to creaye a new user account for her itouch, can i use the same iTunes account or do i need to create a new iTunes account?

    My phone number appears in my daughters list of acceptable numbers to receive texts or messages on her iTouch.
    I sync her iTouch on my iTunes account.
    Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for her to prevent this from happening?  or can i use the same itunes account and just create a separate a differne user name for the same itunes account?
    If i need to create a separate iTunes account, how can i save her data and game levels?

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • Can I use the same itunes for my ipad and iphone?  Will the computer erase my other device information?

    Can I use the same itunes for my ipad and iphone on my computer?  Will the computer erase my other device information?

    The computer will not erase the information.  Each device will show up in iTunes as a separate device and you can control the information for each device through iTunes.

  • Can I use the same Itunes registration with with a new Ipod touch

    I have purchased the latest Ipod Touch.
    Can I use the same regristration on Itunes  to sync the new Ipod touch?
    and
    can I use both the old and the new Ipod touch united for the same regristration??

    - If you mean another version of the iTunes program on your computer the answer is now.  You need the latest version of Itunes and your Win 7 can handle it.  BTW you can only have on instance of iTunes on a computer.
    - I you mean an iTunes account, the answer is no.  You can use one account for an umlimited number of iDevices.

  • Can I use the same itunes program for different phones?

    I have two iphones I am upgrading to new iphones. I have one computer with itunes on it. With each of the old phones can I use the one itunes to backup one of tthe old phones then restore to one of the new phones. Then do the same sequence for the second old phone?

    If you haven't been syncing the iPhones with iTunes then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    Make sure each device has a different name so you can restore the right backup to its replacement.

  • I'am using iPhone4 linked with iTunes on Windows7. Now my wife also gets an iPhone and will use it with iTunes on Mac. Can we use the same iTunes account? What needs to be considered (pros/cons)?

    Who can help?

    Yes, you both can use the same iTunes account, and many users do this. The SLA permits the sharing of iTunes content among up to 5 family members in the same household. Make sure you first authorize your wife's computer: Store>Authorize this Computer.
    However, your wife will need her own Apple ID(verifiable email address), for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc. You can create an Apple ID here:

  • How do my husband and I use the same itunes acct

    People tell me all the time that their whole family has the same iTunes account so they can share everything. How do they do that? I tried to do mine on my husands phone and it said that the account was already in use so he set up his own. How do we share apps? If he pays for one I dont want to pay for the same one.

    Settings App > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads [turn off the catagories you do not wish to be auto-downloaded].
    You will want to do this on both devices

  • Can I use the same iTunes library on 2 macs?

    I have 2 macbooks. The audio files are stored on the external harddrive.
    Does each macbook has to have its own library or can they be using the same library -- and always display the same playlists, etc.?
    How do I do that?
    Thanks,
    Sasi

    Keep all the files for the library on the ext HD. This includes the Album Art, iTunes Library file, .xml files etc.
    This way any time you are opening the library it will have all the files available. Hold down the 'option' key when launching iTunes and direct the Mac to the ext HD.
