    We have two ipads and one Itunes account.  Are we able to have separate accounts within iTunes so my husband can have his games on his account and I can have mine?

    How to Use Multiple iDevices with One Computer

  • Synchronisation two computers with one ipod?!

    Hi @All!
    I have two computers (mac and win) and want my itunes songs on both machines. Actually the ipod works with the win computer. How can I get the songs from the ipod to the mac? How can I transfer/sync these songs over the ipod on both systems.
    Thanks for any reply and hints.

    Probably the easiest way to use an iPod on both Mac and Windows computers is to format the iPod (using iPod Updater) using the PC. This will force your iPod to use the Windows file system (FAT32) which both the Mac and PC can read from and write to without the help of additional software. Of course then all your software updates for the iPod will have to be done on Windows.
    If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.
    However, please be aware that Apple does not officially support cross platform use.

  • Using two computers with one Extigy sound c

    Hello:
    This is my first post; am wondering if there is a way to plug the Extigy USB input into two computers at the same time, perhaps with a USB sharing device? Has anyone ever tried this? Thanks. Glad to be part of the new community group.

    Is it possible to stream audio from two computers (one Mac and one Windows) to a single Airport Express?
    Yes, but only one at a time.
    Does one take precedence over the other?
    No, you would need to determine which computer was streaming music at any given time.

  • Using two computers and one ipod

    Hi,
    I currently have itunes on my windows xp desktop and now on my windows vista laptop. I would like to be able to plug in my ipod and use it as normal on both computers - is there a way to do this? Why does the ipod not work as a normal plug and play device as many other smaller memory mp3 players?
    Thanks,
    Laura

    You can manually manage music (depending on the ipod model):

  • Can I use two Macs with one iTunes library?

    I currently have an iMac with my iTunes library stored on an external drive, and a shiny new MacBook Pro waiting for me at the Apple Store. If I transfer my entire library from the external drive to a new MacBook, can I still access my library seemlessly on my old iMac [possibly using Home Sharing]? I would like to use both computers to access the same content, in an office and then mobile setting.
    Also, if I continue to make purchases on my old iMac from Amazon or eMusic, is there a way to automatically store/transfer those on the new MacBook, the same way they are automatically stored on the external drive now?
    I do have the capability and plan on connecting my external drive to my AirPort Extreme after the transfer, if that makes any difference.

    See I wouldn't want to necessarily make a copy, but rather copy the library itself; so it is no longer stored on the external drive, and it's new home would be the MacBook Pro. I was wondering if I could access the MacBook library from my iMac the same way I access the external drive on my iMac. Or if I'm overthinking the Home Sharing service and really have nothing to worry about.
    I do have my entire library in the iCloud, and am a Match subscriber, but it is important that I have the songs actually stored on my MacBook so I can access them when I am without an internet connection.

  • Can i use two devices with one itunes account?

    I share a laptop with my husband.  We have had "sync" issues in the past with his contacts and my contacts intermingling on our separate iPhones.  Can I create two different iTunes accounts for us to sync independently?  What should I do about this?  With the advent of iCloud, we're both going to be autosyncing...right???

    This won't be a problem, iTunes will see the new device as a separate device, it will have its own settings under iTunes, you can set it up to sync the same content or different content to the first device, it will have no effect on how the first device syncs with iTunes.

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer (For instance you have one at home and maybe a laptop or PC you use at work) you can change the update preference to "manually manage songs and playlists. By doing this, you can listen to your iPod at work where you may have iTunes but no songs on the computer. You can use as many iPods as you like on a computer, the limit of 5 computers you are referring to is the number of computers that you can have authorised at any one time to play iTMS purchases:

  • Synchronize two computers with one iPod

    Is there a way to synchronize my iPod with 2 computers, so that my music us up-to-date on both?

    You would have to install the music on both computers. If you sync your ipod with a second computer the ipod will ask if you want to use the ipod with this computer, if you say yes, it will remove all the songs and put them back on again using the library on the second computer. The ipod sync's one way, from computer to ipod. It will not sync ipod to computer. There are third party applications that will allow to do this. I have not used this application, so I can't say how well it works. Give it a try and let me know?

  • Using two computers with one IPhone

    I have two offices, and two office computers. I'd like to sync all the Outlook data on each computer with my IPhone. Also, is there any way to have the music list in ITunes in one computer sync through the IPhone to the second computer?

    On the Outlook data, your best bet is to use something like Google Sync. I have three computers (one work, one home desktop, one home netbook) all synced up with my iPhone using Google. And it's free.

  • Using two computers with single Ipod

    I have an IMac G5 which I have my main ITunes library of music on. I also have an IBook that I travel with and occassionally I download a disc of music onto that computer's Itunes. Then I want to download that disc to my Ipod but if I connect to the IBook I will lose everything except what's on the
    IBook. Can I manage this in the "manuel mode" and how do I get to the manuel mode on the IBook since I have to plug in the IPod to get to preferences and indoing so would lose everthing! help

    "Question: I have a computer at home and one at work. Can I update my iPod music collection from more than one computer?
    Answer: Yes. When you first connect iPod to your computer, iPod recognizes that computer as its "home" computer. Each time you connect, iPod automatically downloads the music library stored on it. When you connect iPod to a different computer, iPod asks for permission before synchronizing with this music library. If you choose Auto-sync, iPod recognizes the second computer as its home computer and breaks the link with the original computer. If you do not choose Auto-sync, iPod switches to manual update mode, allowing you to selectively drag songs, albums, or playlists from the second computer to your iPod.
    Synchronization occurs only in one direction, from your computer to your iPod. This means you cannot transfer music, automatically or manually, from your iPod to a computer, and you cannot use iPod to copy a music library from one computer to another. But, if you legally are allowed to copy music files, you can configure your iPod as a hard disk to move music files."

  • Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens

    I have download and install Logic Pro 9.1.6 on my MacBookPro 13". I record on location with my MacBook an wil edit and arrange the music on my iMac at home. Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens. I'm the owner of both computers. If it can where can I find the program on my MacBook? and how to install and register?

    Hi, is  the iMac also 10.6.8? I had an iMac die when 10.6.8 was installed, it worked at first but after some You Tube flash videos the screen just locked and no mouse clicking anywhere did anything. It turned out that most older iMacs [ mine was from august 2007] have a graghics chipset that can't handle Snow Leopard, there were [are?] 77 pages on this "locked screen"topic in the Snow Leopard forum. I checked out a web site that tells you how much your mac is worth by filling in the sereal number-mine was worth only $168, I may give it to a friend for his children to play with, although that seems unholy. I doubt anyone woud buy it,the problem is now so well known that even Apple certified resellars here in the Netherlands refuse to repair them,they claim Apple will revoke their certification if they replace the faulty Graphics unit,it is also VERY hard to get to that unit in an iMac, everything is so tightly packed inside.
    If your iMac is running Mountain Lion[10.8.0] you may have to change the app store preference to accept apps from all sites,normally ML will only allow app store apps to be downloaded.

  • Can I connect two computers to one device?

    Can I connect two computers to one device? I am trying to have them control different aspects of the experiment that I'm running.

    That depends upon the device. If it's GPIB, you could
    use the E-NET card to convert it to LAN. That would
    allow control by many computers. The only problem with
    that might be sychronization. That is, Computer 1 does
    its setup. Then Computer 2 does a reset. Compuer 1's
    setup is now gone.
    As another poster suggested, you could always network
    between the two computers.
