  • HT1420 Can I authorize more than 5 devices on my itunes account?

    Is there a way to add more than 5 devices to your itunes account?  In this day and age where a single person can have multiple, in my case 7 devices, I would like to authorize all my devices to my iTunes account because of iTunes Match. 

    As King_Penguin stated this does not include iOS devices, that is unless you are referring to devices associated with iTunes Match (10 devices, including iOS devices).
    It is likely that the other devices were old computers that never got deauthorized.
    Apple offers a Deauthorize All option for this very reason. It's use is limited to once per 12 month period.
    See the Deauthorize all computers section of this article:
    Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
    After they are all deauthorized, go back and reauthorize each computer you are currently using.

    This isn't a problem, but a question.
    1. Can you sync your iphone with remote to more than one itunes library (such as itunes on 2 different computers)?
    Yes you can sync with more than one iTunes Library. I just did it today with the library on my Mac and PC
    if so then...
    2. Does the itunes have to be maximized for the remote function to work, or can it be minimized on the task bar at the bottom?
    On my mac I can play the songs with iTunes minimized.
    The reason why, is I want to sync my iphone with my mother's computer at her house, and put some sound effects on her library. Then I want to turn her itunes on and minimize it and wait until she starts working on her pc and then I can play some practical jokes on her making her computer make weird noises (sound effects on itunes).
    Any answers would be appreciated by me (but not my mother).
    Thanks, and happy pranking to you all

    Basically, when I look at iCal on my iphone and macbook, it shows my father's events from his personal calender on mine as well. What is the best way to keep your dates streamlined from phone to Labtop?

  • How can I sync more than 10 devices to one apple id for itunes

    We have a lot of apple devices in our family, more than 10.  We all want to share apps and music outside of our house, but I don't know how to do it.  I have iTunes Match, but once again - only 10.

    Each person should get their own Apple ID so they can individually sync and maintain their personal files and other data. If you have but one computer to share, then each user should have a separate user account on the computer.
    Although your computer can handle more than one user account, iDevices are intended for a single user, not multiple users sharing the same account or Apple ID.

  • Can you have more than one device on an iTunes account

    I currently have an iTunes account for my iPhone 4S ......I am looking to purchase an iPod Nano and was wondering if I can add this device to my current ITunes account or If I need to create a new one.

    An iPod nano doesn't connect to the iTunes Store directly, so you really don't add it to your account, per se. Just connect the nano to iTunes on your computer and sync.
    Regards.

  • How can I access apps on one device from two iTunes accounts?

    I have been told that apps can be loaded on the iPad from multiple iTunes accounts. Is this true?  If so, how does one do it.  My son has a school issued iPad.  The school IT lead informed us that we could use apps that the school provides form the school's account and apps from our personal iTunes account. Please advise. Thank you.

    You have to sign in and out of the accounts in the settings.
    Settings>iTunes and App Store>Tap on the ID and sign out then sign in with the other ID. If you are running iOS 5 or under, it is Settings>Store>Tap the ID and sign out and sign in with the other ID.

  • What if i have more than five computers to authorize itunes accoutn?, what if i have more than five computers to authorize itunes account?

    itunes only allows me to authorize five computers.  but what if i've used more than five computers in my lifetime with my itunes account?

    Well, what i was tyring to do was re-download my purchased items. and the message I get is....
    You have already authorized five computers.
    you can still make purchases on this computer, but you will need to transfer them to an authorized machine or device to play them.  if you wish to play purchases on this computer, you will need to first deauthorize a currently authorized computer.
    BUY or CANCEL.
    the thing is...as i mentioned before, i already deauthorized all the other computers. so i don't get why it is making me buy it again.

  • Multiple ios devices share same itunes account. How do i imessage with them

When i try to i meassage my daughters touch  from my ipad it goes to my iphone even though i have her e mail under imessage.  How can i imessage between the different devices under the same itunes account e mail/ID.

    You have to associate another email address on each of the iDevices and then remove the original email address (ID) that you used to set up iMessage.
    This explains how to do it.

  • How can I have two devices with separate iTunes accounts on the same computer without sharing libraries?

    I have an iPhone 3s and my sister has an iPhone 3.  We use them only as iPods.  We each have our own iTunes account, but we have to share a computer.  How can we both syn our devices without sharing our music and app libraries?

    The most reliable way would be to set up individual user accounts in WIndows. Then each of your iTunes libraries will be completely separate.
    Regards.

  • How can my wife and I share our iTunes account?

    My wife has an iTunes account as do I, but we are ideally trying to combine them so that we have a central iTunes library that we can both pull from. Is this possible?  We are on Windows Vista platform outside of our apple products.
    We have 2 iPhones and several iPods.

    At this time, Apple IDs cannot be consolidated.

  • Syncing more than 1 iPad to an iTunes account

    Hi,
    I want to buy 10 iPads for our business and use them as a sales tool, is it possible to have 1 itunes account with all our company assets pictures, videos, etc and then sync each of the 10 iPads to the same iTunes account ?
    Thanks

    Since you can transfer iTunes content and photos from a single computer only, which Mac do you plan on doing this with?
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPhone, or iPad, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    Assuming you have a single iTunes account and the Mac Mini is authorized with the same iTunes account with iTunes as your iMac, with your iPad connected to iTunes on the Mac Mini and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad.
    The sync process for photos is a one way transfer process only - from the computer to the iPad. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on the iPad - the original resolution of these photos is reduced as part of the iTunes transfer process. If you transfer photos from your Mac Mini, all photos transferred from your iMac will be erased from your iPad first.
