Can I use to Apple IDs to one device (iPod touch)?

Hi,
I have just bought a new iPod touch and cannot decide how to use it with iTunes. This is the situation. I have iTunes installed on my lap top and one Apple ID registered for my iPod shuffle. My wife has an iPad and an iPhone and she usually sync it with our home PC (where we have more music). She has her own Apple ID which she uses to purchase apps etc. Now, my question is how I can switch between the different computers. If I connect my new iPod touch to my Apple ID and download music from my lap top, can I also connect mu iPod touch to our home computer and download music and apps also from there?

iDevices only sync with one computer... any attempts to sync with a  different computer will result in the media already on the device being wiped and replaced with media from the new computer.
This has nothing to do with how many Apple ID's are associated with the device.  It is possible to use multiple Apple ID's on a single device for syncing different media and apps.

  • Can I use multiple Apple IDs in one device on IOS 7 as I do on IOS 6 ?

    I Used to live in the UK so I have many apps, albums and other stuff purchased from the UK stores. When I moved to the States I started to buy from the US stores.. With IOS 6 I can switch between stores and have content from both of them on my devices, can I do the same on IOS 7?

    "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

  • Can I use multiple apple ids on one device

    My family shares an iPad but we all have different ids and want to put our own apps on it. Is this possible?

    As far as I know this is possible. Just log in with each single id under settings>store an redownload the apps from the app store (app store>downloads>purchased articles).
    Though it will be difficult to do future updates, because only the updates of the id that is used for the moment are showing up.

  • Using 2 Apple IDs on one device

    I want to use the cloud match/storage service for our family media. I have 2 iphones, an ipad, 2 macbook pros, 2 itvs, 2 ipod touches and 4 desktop computers. That all currently use the same itunes apple ID for media play & purchase. however the 2 iphones use different  mobile me accounts for sync of contacts calendars and such and one of the ipods is set up with a mobile me for my son with his desktop for sync. I want the seperation but I want the sync... can I keep my itunes accound synced and iCloud based for my family amongst the devices and still have seperate iCloud accounts for myself, my wife and my boys.

    I have two Apple id s,one from day dot before the email address requirement
    Address 1 is my iTunes id simply a name 
    Address 2 is my iCloud apple id (email style)
    I use both accordingly.
    When I need to apply a password the system obligingly tells me which id requires the password which are different
    Not sure whether this is the split you want but consider my set up and compare with what you are trying to achieve

  • 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.

  • Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?

    Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?
    If so do you know how to do it?

    It depends on what you want to do.
    You could, for example, have one AppleID for iCloud backup [and therefore message syncing, notes syncing, etc] and a second one for iTunes [music, iBooks, etc].
    But if you are looking for a way to flip everything between different appleIDs, then no.

  • Can you have two apple ids on one mac?

    Can you have two apple ids on one mac? We each have iPhones and want to utilize iCloud.  Is this possible?

    No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
    If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
    1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
    2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
    On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
    On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
    3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

    No, it Applies if you download content from one then switch to another and download content from the other. Automatically or not.
