Can itune account be sync to separate apple tvs

I have a 1st generation and latest model of apple tvs. Can I sync with both at the same time?
Another problem that I currently have is that my latest model cannot find my mac for hime sharing.

You can't actually sync your library with both Apple TVs, because other than the Apple TV 1, the later Apple TV's do not sync at all with iTunes, they can only stream from it. However if you are asking whether you can watch the same content from iTunes on both Apple TV'ds at once, then yes you can.
With regard to home sharing, have you turned home sharing on in iTunes and on the Apple TV and use the same password and ID.

I have 2 iPhone 4S's, one is personal, one purchased by work for me. Can I use the same iTunes account to sync both phones while keeping the contacts that are synced as separate lists for personal phone and work phone, but also allow same apps for both?

I'm hoping someone out there knows if I can use 1 apple ID and 1 iTunes account to sync 2 different iPhone 4S's - one for personal use, and one for work use. I would like to be able to sync with the same music and app's on both, but need to keep the contacts and calendars completely separate between the 2 phones since I don't want personal data on the work phone or work data on the personal phone. Can you help me figure this out?

Yes!
Luckily, if you be very careful and pay attention to what you have selected in itunes, you can separate these things
Basically, in iTunes, there are tabs at the top for Summary, info, apps, etc..
These tabs control PER DEVICE what syncs between itunes and the device.
Therefore, you can plug iPhone 4S #1 in, and select to sync contacts with address book, then do so. Then plug iPhone 4S #2 in, and not choose to sync with address book. iTunes will keep these settings separate. However, in that situation for music and apps, you would check to sync both on both, in order to get all music and apps on each.
The only thing to watch out for, each computer 'user' has only one set of address book and ical, meaning that if you want to sync both phones to the computer, but dont want to mix contacts, only one phone will be able to sync contacts and/or calendars. Basically, each category in the Info tab will only hold one device's information, so you CAN do contacts with iPhone 4S #1, and calendars with #2.

My wife had an iPad for a year and synced to our computer with no problem. I recently received an ipad2 and when I tried to sync using separate apple and iTunes passwords, under her computer user name, it appears I over-road her account and synced all her apps with my apps on my iPad. I then set myself up as a new user on our computer and tried to sync. I now get the error that my iPad is synced to another library. How can I start over without erasing all my data on the iPad?

Go back to her login. Unless you deliberately erased apps, they should all be there, both yours and hers! Then, you need to set up each iPad separately. You will notice that they have separate names for that very purpose.
There is no problem with multiple Apple IDs on the same iTunes on the same computer except... Apps are permanently associated with the ID that was originally used to obtain them. If you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and you're logged into the "wrong" ID, you must log out and back in again.
On the bright side, you can configure either or both iPads to sync with apps and music and movies, etc. from either or both IDs. Further, if you choose to update the apps from the iPads themselves, there is no need to log out/in. The device handles that. All you need is the correct password. In my case, I use the same password for both IDs to make things easier.

Hi tomgoggs,
iTunes purchases do not count against your iCloud memory space. See this article for what iCloud is used to store -

If it is itunes on your computer - stop people from connecting their phones to your computer, do not connect to others.
If it is icloud - change your apple id password here

If you haven't remove the code from the card then you should be able to redeem it onto your account e.g. via the Redeem button under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes, or via the bottom of the Music tab if using an iOS device

How can my 7yr old have her own iTunes account to sync to her iPod, when our only other home computers are all already linked into other iTunes accounts and other iPods?

My husband, my 13yr old, and myself all have our own computers, with our own iTunes accounts which sync up to our own iPods. But now my 7yr old has her iPod (nano) and wants to put her own songs on it, but we aren't sure how to go about doing that since each computer already only recognizes our own iPods. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated!...Thanks!

How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple community.
I assume you do mean a different account and not simply a different iTunes library. Unfortunately, in order to switch accounts, you would need to log out and log in to the second account.

My Itunes account was hacked and my Apple ID was disabled. I followed the instructions from APPLE to backup and restore from Itunes but that did not work. Any suggestions?? Thanks!!

Are you saying that you contacted Apple support and they instructed you to backup and restore your iPad? Or do you mean that you picked up this information from an online support article? If you spoke to an Apple rep or received these instructions via email, contact them again for further help.
I fail to see how restoring your iPad would enable yoyr Apple ID.

Can I have two separate iTunes accounts on my first gen apple tv?

When I buy a movie on the apple tv, it sometimes doesn't download, and i hear from my daughters in another state that its downloaded there. To avoid paying for something that i didn't get, i would like to create a separate account for the apple tv use, so i can have movies I buy on that, and my daughters can buy their music on my first account.
I would still like to have my original iTunes account authorized on the apple tv - is it possible for me to have two iTunes accounts authorized on the Apple TV?
thanks in advance

For a few reasons I prefer to refer to these libraries as primary and secondary libraries.
A primary library is a library that can sync content to the Apple TVs hard drive as well as stream content to it. The advantage of this is that you are able to turn off your computer and still watch the content on the Apple TV's hard drive.
The primary library will also let the Apple TV transfer any content you purchase on the Apple TV back to the iTunes library on the computer for safe keeping.
Unfortunately you can only have one primary library.
A secondary library can only stream content to an Apple TV and obviously when that computer is turned off the content is no longer available. You can however connect up to 5 secondary libraries to an Apple TV in addition to a primary library.
There's a little more about seeing which type of library you have and how to set up each on this page.
In your case the primary library would be your new library since you want to keep content you purchase on the Apple TV in it. Your older library would need to be a secondary library.
For the next part I'm assuming that you only have one computer. iTunes can work with more than one library, but you need to switch the libraries it works with and you can't use more than one at once. This wouldn't work very well for you, since you'd always need to ensure it was using the right library when you purchased from the Apple TV.
There is another way though, and that is to create two user accounts on your computer and run a library in each, one as the primary and one as a secondary.
If you have a mac you can have both user accounts running and the Apple TV will be able to see and use both.
If you have a PC the PC will only keep one user account active at a time, and the Apple TV will only be able to see and use that library. It's a little more awkward with a PC but not overly awkward. You'd need to keep switching users depending on which library you wanted to watch, but unlike switching libraries in a single user set up, the Apple TV wont transfer the purchases to the wrong library. Instead it will wait until until you have the correct user account active and then transfer the purchased content.

L added her sister R to a family plan. Can R have her own itunes account for syncing the phone and downloading her own apps, or must she always sign in using L's account and password?

So, if R wants to sync her iphone 5C but still have L pay for it on the family plan, can R just get her own itunes account for buying music and apps? Or is she stuck using L's account?

Family Plan as with the cell phone carrier?
Is so, the iTunes account or Apple ID is not related to the type of cell phone plan an iPhone is under.
Will the sisters being using the same computer and iTunes library?

Can multiple iphones with multiple itunes accounts be synced to one mac keeping apps seperate over the air?

We have about 20 iPhone's in our environment and syncing and updating them has become a real chore lately. Everyone has their own iTunes account and apps that they use. Is there a way that they can be synced, backed up and updated over the air (not iCloud) to the same MAC? Because we are in the financial sector we will not be able to use iCloud. Should we look into some sort of private cloud and if so; any suggestions on how to accomplish it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
J

We have several macs, several ipods, a couple of iphones, several itunes store accounts. So far no problem. You might have to share passwords if you want to share content. I think iStore accounts can only be used on up to 5 computers. We have 7, so have to be a little careful about that. I don't think there is a limit on how many iDevices can be used with one account. I also don't think there is a limit on how many accounts can be used on a single computer (might be wrong about that). You have to be logged into the iStore to download content, and your computer has to be registered with the account to use the content, but once it is on, and registered, syncing to an iPod is not a problem (you do not have to login in again for each account the content was purchased from). I'm just glad I only have two kids, and one wife - things could get trickier in a big family with . . .

Can i create a new iTunes account and sync my stuff from my old account to it?

Yes but you will need to authorize your computer for purchases on the old iTunes account.
