Can iTunes be authorized for more than one apple id

My wife and I share a mac and each have our own iPhones.  she sometimes downloads songs with her apple id, and I do the same with mine.  is it possible to share these between our devices?  can I authorize my mac for both accounts?

You should be able to have more than account authorised on your Mac's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option - and you should be able to select and sync purchases from both accounts to your phones

  • TS4124 can imatch be used for more than one persons library of music, or does each person require a separate imatch account?

    Can iMatch be used for more than one person's library of music, or does each person require a separate iMatch account for their own library?

    1 account = 1 library, 2 = 2 and so on.

  • Can you sign in with more than one apple id on an iPad?

    Can you sign in with more than one apple id on an iPad?

    Only one account can be signed in at a time (via Settings > Store), and if you turn on automatic downloads and/or download past purchases from an account then you risk tying the iPad to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • Can a Mac and it's associated iPhone and iPad be authorized for more than 1 Apple ID at the same time?

    I want to give my wife and daughters their own Apple ID's and have them purchase stuff using the new one, but I don't want them to lose  all of the music and videos they bought using my ID for the last 8 years.
    The main reason I want to do this, is so that when iCloud comes out, I heard that the synching feature is going to be keyed to your Apple ID. My wife, and both of my daughters have always just used my ID to buy everything, and I'm affraid all of our Macs and iPhones and iPods  will synch together.
    If I gave each of them their own ID, and they started buying all of their music on the new ID, could their Macs be authorized for the new ID and mine at the same time? It would still be under the 5 computer limit per account.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    yes, a single iTunes can be authorized for up to five Apple ID's.

  • Can I setup two-step verification for more than one Apple ID?

    I have one iPad and one iPhone.
    I have four Apple IDs.
    I want to setup two-step verification in all four accounts.
    Can I?
    It seems that I can't, because to add a "trusted device" to an Apple ID requires setting up Find My iPhone on that device. Find My iPhone requires an iCloud account (which is available with every Apple ID). But once you change the iCloud account account used for Find My iPhone on a device, the device will not be able to be used in two-step verification for the previous iCloud account. Or will it get remembered?
    Anyone have any knowledge about this?

  • Can a computer be authorized for more than one itunes account

    My husband and I set up two separate iTunes accounts a number of years ago, and now we want to be able to share and copy our libraries. If I authorize my computer for his account, can it stil be authorized to my account?
    And if it can't, what happens to my iTunes library?

    1. Yes.

  • HT201209 can i install my iTunes gift card into more than one apple id?

    I recieved an itunes gift card and wanted to know if I could split the card between two different apple id accounts. Is this possible?

    No, it can only be redeemed onto one account and it can only be used to buy content for that account (e.g. you can't then use it to gift content to another account)

  • Can I use iSync for more than one user on my .mac family account?

    I just got a new MacBook Pro 17" to replace my Pro 15", which I want to give to my hubby who's using an old MacBook. I have successfully synched my old Pro to the cloud and my new Pro, thereby rolling over all my settings, widgets, address book, etc. But now I want to roll-over my husband's settings from the MacBook to the old 15" Pro. I'm afraid if I just perform a sync, MY settings out there in the cloud will overwrite his. What's the proper procedure to follow here? He's got a lot of passwords and really wants his bookmarks saved to the 15" MacBook Pro-- that's the most important info he wants to maintain. Recommendations?

    iSync is for syncing mobile phones and PDAs - it has nothing to do with syncing between Macs.
    You post your question in one of the more relevant MobileMe forums.

  • Can Time Machine backups for more than one Mac be sent to the same external hard drive?

    It's pretty straightforward, really.  We have two Macs, both running Mountain Lion.  Can we use the same external hard drive for Time Machine backups of both?

    It would be best to partition the HDD - one volume for each Mac (you cannot partition a Time Capsule).
    Note that by doing so, you will lose both backups should the drive fail.

  • Can I access icloud with more than one Apple ID account on an ipod touch?

    I just bought a new ipod touch and would like to know if I can download past purchases from my fiances Apple ID account using icloud on the ipod touch we are going to share because I am having a problem with being unable to authorize the one macbook computer that we share with both of our accounts. As a solution I was thinking about logging into his account on icloud on our ipod touch and downloading his purchased apps. Will this work?? Thank you so much for reading this I appreciate all and any responses you may leave me.

    You can do that, but if you switch back to the other account, you'll lose everything bought from the first account. We're talking about an iTunes account. You do not want to share the same iCloud account otherwise you both get the same emails, contacts, messages, calendars, etc if you turn those services on for iCloud.

  • Perform VENDOR EVALUATION for MORE THAN ONE VENDORS at a time

    Hello all,
    Please guide for any process where i can perform Vendor Evaluation for MORE THAN ONE vendors AT A TIME.
    At my location there are around thousand vendors, which are to be evaluated, and difficult to perform the evaluation process one-by-one.
    (ME61/ME62/ME63)
    Detailed replies with various possibilities would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Joy Ghosh

    The vendor evaluation for some thousand vendors at the same time has already been in SAP long before they developed LSMW. The purpose of LSMW is to load data from a legacy system, of course you can (mis-)use it for a lot other things.
    But you should not always use LSMW if you are to lazy to go thru the SAP standard menu to find a transaction like ME6G
    There you define a job that runs RM06LBAT report.
    You first have to define a selection variant for this report. this can be done in SE38 by entering the report name, select variant, clicking display, then entering a name for the variant and clicking Create.

  • How to configure EM Grid Control for more than one databases?

    Hi,
    I'm configuring EM on Oracle 10gRel1 on Linux. I have more than one databases in the server, and I want use IE at my PC to monitor the databases on Linux server. I can configure and access the Grid Control Console by emca for first database, but cannot configure for the second one, unless I remove the first one configurration. How can I configure EM for more than one databases?
    Thanks.

    Thank you everybody.
    Yes, I'm talking about DBConsole rather than Grid Control (sorry for misuse the term). I managed to set up DB Console for every DB in the same Linux box (10Rel1). What I did is:
    1) stop db console and agent with emctl
    2) remove repository with RepManager
    3) config with emca
    Then I can monitor individual databases from my PC (but have to login with different port).
    I'm thinking mybe I should use Grid Control instead.

  • MMBE for more than one Material

    Hi
    I
    need a report than allows us to view stock holding in alternative units of measure. MMBE is exactly what I need but it only allows us to view one material at a time. I need to be able to view many materials
    at one time and switch to the alternative unit. For example view material in stock by each's then convert to ton's
    Thanks for the help

    Hi,
    You can check material stock for more than one material by using transaction
    MB5B - By selecting date range for which stock need to be viewed.
    MB52 - For warehouse managed material
    Hope this will resolve your issue.
    Reagrds,
    Avinash.

  • ITunes 8.1 Can't Seem to do More Than One Thing at a Time

    I upgraded to 8.1 and now, rather than a "faster" iTunes experience as was advertised on Apple's website, iTunes can't seem to do more than one thing at a time without locking up the application completely. For instance, when trying to download podcasts if I choose to hit more than one "Get" button at a time iTunes will freeze up until the first podcast has completely downloaded. During this time I cannot access any other screen in iTunes at all.
    This freezing of iTunes also occurred while I was trying to sync my iPhone 3G. I received the Calendar sync error that a few other people have mentioned on the forum and wanted to turn off Calendar sync (since I don't use it and don't understand why iTunes turned it on by default, apparently, after the upgrade) but I had to wait for my iPhone 3G to completely sync before I could gain access to any of the tabs in the iPhone sync window.
    So, basically it seems like the new version of iTunes (8.1) really doesn't like to be bothered while it is trying to copy data from one place to another.
    Any ideas?

    I'm using Vista Ultimate 64-bit and iTunes 8.1 installed OK, but required a restart of the entire OS after upgrading. It takes forever to launch, clicking on certain items (like applications) causes itunes to freeze for about 15-30 seconds before it continues (this is actually something that's been there since the introduction of the app store), I've had to switch my library view to LIST and avoid any sort of album art. Using album art to view my library causes iTunes to be extremely, obnoxiously unresponsive.
    The best part - plugging in my iPhone to sync it... iTunes simply sits there dumbly - doesn't even recognize that I've plugged my iPhone in. So now I can't even sync. QUALITY product, quality. So the app I'm FORCED to use to manage my phone doesn't even work after upgrading. Outstanding.
    I'm terrified of uninstalling and reinstalling... the last time I did that with iTunes it jacked my library up... it "lost" all of my music... basically it disassociated all of the music (even the stuff purchased through the itunes store) with the index file so I had to re-import EVERY song and delete the duplicate entry.
    I searched a ton of forums looking for any clues as to how I could improve performance... All I run into is apple fan boys flaming any and all forums to the point of PC *****, no Apple *****, and so forth. Extremely unhelpful.
    The fact is this - if I wasn't forced to use iTunes to manage my non-jailbroken iPhone 3G, then I'd dump it completely. It is a horrible app. Why punish the customers that haven't gone the route of "jail breaking" their iPhones?
    One individual on one of the forums suggested that blue screens, and all the other random errors, including slow performance were due to a lack of RAM. I have 4GB of RAM on my machine I can run a virtual Fedora core 9 machine and a virtual WinXP machine on my Vista x64 box and still not have any performance issues with those two virtuals in the background sucking up system resources, yet with nothing open and less than 50% of my 4GB of RAM in use iTunes performance is abysmal. I have not run into any other application on my Vista machine that performs as badly as iTunes.
    And Apple is touting a "64-bit" version of iTunes - it isn't. The applications the 64-bit installer installs are all 32-bit.
    So, I'm searching as the two of you are for an answer to horrible performance of iTunes.
    Even exiting out of iTunes takes a day and a half... "saving itunes library".... And my "library" isn't that big.
