Can multiple accounts use the same purchased apps from the same computer?

Hope one of you guys can help me out!
Ive got an iTunes account with over 1300 app store apps, most of which are paid, my kids have just got an iPhone4 and an iPod Touch4 for xmas presents and Im currently setting them up for them to use straight away on xmas day.
The issue is;
For them to be able to use all my apps on their devices Ive had to use my account, this causes issues with things like GameCentre and FaceTime, because we are all on the same e-mail address and account!!!
Is there any way for me to set up there own accounts in such a way as they can still have access to my apps?????
Please help if you can, it would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks, James

How do I authorise them all to use the same apps etc?
that's basically very easy. all you have to do is +log out+ of one account (click on the account name in the Store window and select +sign out+ from the pop-up dialog) and into the other, and then they will both be authorized.

HT204053 Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices?

Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices? I just set up my IPhone 4S (first time user) using the same Apple ID as my daughters and now we receive each others texts, do I need to set up my own Apple ID account?

Yes, you can. In fact it's recommended that you use different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. You can still share the same ID for iTunes without any issues.
You are getting each other's text messages because you're using the same ID for iMessage. To fix this, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with a different ID. To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

How can I stop iTunes from transferring purchased apps from iPad to computer?

How can I stop iTunes from transferring purchased apps from iPad to my computer? I don't want them taking up space on my computer. iPad backups and apps on the cloud are enough to ensure my apps are backed up, so I don't understand why they need to be on iTunes too. I'm running Mavericks, iTunes 11.1.5 and iOS 7.0.6.

There isn't an app for that!
As far as I can tell there is no option to give you that control. It is worth noting that apps can be withdrawn from the store at any time. Should your device need restoring you need all the apps in your library to transfer to it before the app data can be successfully restored. Pulling that all down from the cloud would be time consuming.
If space is becoming an issue you should consider moving the library to a bigger drive (which you should also backup to another).
As a temporary measure you could try deleting some larger apps using Finder from within iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications while keeping the entries in your library. iTunes may complain during syncs that it cannot copy apps to the device because they cannot be found, but it should not clear them from the device. Test first on a single app that doesn't have any data that you would mind losing in case the behavior has changed from the last time I tested it.

I have multiple accounts using the same smtp server, I can only reply with one as the settings wont allow me 2 servers

I have tried to set my email to reply from my iphone 5 both of which use the same SMTP server. I can't change the settings on the others as it will only allow one mail account. Can I add multiple with the same smtp?

I Am not using gmail I use seperate company for my mails both use the same smtp server. The problem is when I set my first account it them uses these details and passwords when I create the second account saying that the smtp server is already in use by the primary account. I therefor can't set the password.

Can Multiple ipods use the same computer/itunes program

I recently purchased two ipods for different family members. Can both be used on the same computer. I seem to remember seeing a blurb in the user agreement for itunes that said the program was only for one ipod. Can anyone elaborate?

When the iPods belong to different people, there are basically three ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library
b) Creating Multiple Libraries in a single user account
c) Creating multiple user accounts.
Note: When you are sharing an iTunes library, you don't have to set each iPod to update in the same manner, you can mix and match from the options below as each iPod has it's own update settings
Sharing a Library and/or User Account
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish): Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page: Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
Multiple Libraries
It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
*Separate User Accounts*
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here: Create A New User Account In Vista

How can multiple users use the same Creative Cloud Individual on one single-machine?

We have one shared graphics workstation, which is infrequently in use by different people - therefore we bought a single-workstation license (which we were referred to "Creative Cloud Individual"). In the FAQs it says it installs locally, but whenever a user different from the installing adminstrator logs in, he is forced to use the trial.
Is there a way to make the local installation usable on that single machine for multiple users?
Thanks in advance for your reply

Serenatasystems do the other users not have administrator access? What happens if they sign in using the Adobe ID tied to your Creative Cloud subscription? Do your Adobe Creative applications then exit trial mode?

Oracle TDE - Can multiple databases use the same Oracle wallet?

Oracle Advanced Security Transparent Data Encryption
I will have 2 or more databases running under the same Oracle 11.2 home. According to Oracle's documentation, it is preferred to reference the wallet via the sqlnet.ora file. That's fine. My question is if I want to use encryption in each of those databases, then I have no choice but to use the shared wallet then, correct.
I need to confirm that I have not missed something.
From Oracle's documentation:
Specifying a Wallet Location for Transparent Data Encryption
If you wish to use a wallet specifically for TDE, then you must specify a wallet location in the sqlnet.ora file by using the ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION parameter.
Oracle recommends that you use the ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION parameter to specify a wallet location for TDE.

Why can't I use any of my apps on a secondary computer?

I never thought I'd have any issues with Adobe, however since purchasing a Creative Cloud Subscription a few days ago I'm having a licensing issue.
On my first Windows PC, I downloaded and installed all Apps avaliable to me via Adobe Application Manager.
Upon running my first app, I was able to click 'Sign In' and was sorted.
However on my second Windows PC, also downloading and installing via the Manager, things got weird.
I ran Photoshop for the first time, and clicked 'Sign In'.. Everything seemed fine.
After restarting my computer, I tried to open Illustrator and recieved a window asking me to activate the product.
Suddenly, every single application is now pretty much under a 30 day trial. Upon following these instructions via your Support Site - it didn't do anything. So, I followed these instructions to convert them from trials - however after signing in I don't get 'Congratulations'.. I get 'Serial Number'.
What now? I would love to solve this issue before I can't use the software any more after 30 days for no reason.

Thank you for letting us know you resolved the problem.
There is a help article that covers checking your hosts file here http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issue s.html.

Can multiple accounts for the same vendor be bookmarked?

I have home and office accounts for certain vendors (utilities, etc) and have tried bookmarking them under "On Line Accounts." However, I am not able to do so. When I enter one for home with, say, dteenergy.com (same problem with others like AT&T), that account works fine. When I try to enter the dteenergy account information for home, that works fine. However, when the second account is entered it replaces the first account.
I have not tried it, but I could try creating a second on line account, and will do so after I finish this inquiry. However, I had hoped to get everything into a single folder on the bookmark bar.
Thank you.

There are many ways of saving a bookmark, most don't permit the same exact page to be saved as a bookmark more than once - that's a feature in Firefox 3+ versions. If you "drag" the web site image ''(known as the Favicon)'' from the Location bar or from a Tab into your bookmarks, you can get around that "feature". You can "drag&drop" the Favicon into the Bookmarks Toolbar (can be tricky at times), or to the Bookmarks menu item on the Menu bar - the drop-down will open, or into the Bookmarks Sidebar (the method I use) - {Ctrl + B} to open the Bookmarks Sidebar

Use and update purchased apps from one iTunes store account to another?

I have two iTunes Store Accounts (Apple ID's) with the vast majority of purchases, music and apps, made on one account, but I've created a second account and wish to use it to sync with my iPhone.
Will I be able to continue to use and update the apps on my iPhone purchased with the first account?
Thanks.

This sounds like the kinda thing Apple support might be able to help with. It's possible they might be able to merge the 2 accounts or switch user names around or something.
Apps and Protected music files are locked to one account. I don't think there is any way you(personaly) can transfer and/or updated them on a different account.

Two i cloud accounts using the same apple id

How can I use the same apple id and have differnet icloud accounts for my family so our contacts dont back up togethe?

You can't create multiple accounts using the same ID. To create separate accounts, you would need to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with separate Apple IDs for each account. However, you can maintain separate iCloud accounts and share the same ID for other services, such as your iTunes store account. The IDs do not need to be the same.
If you want to migrate devices to separate accounts and move a copy of the iCloud data to each account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the existing account will not be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once everyone is on separate accounts, you can each go to iCloud.com and delete any data from other family members that you don't want in your account.

1) I have multiple accounts at the iTunes store and none are now associated with my purchases...I think because passwords have been associated with various id's and I can't log in and access those purchases. I want to get back to being able to use one i

1) I have multiple accounts at the iTunes store and none are now associated with my purchases...I think because passwords have been associated with various id’s and I can’t log in and access those purchases. I want to get back to being able to use one id and password and be able to access those purchases.
2) When I upgraded my iPhone 3gs, to the latest version 5.0.1 (9A405), is when I noticed that i couldn’t update my applications. There are two names/accounts on the phone and prior to the update there was just the one. I have tried entering every conceivable password that I have ever used and get the incorrect password error every time. The apps on the iPhone are apparently associated with several/different accounts. I just want to get everything back to the way it was. One id and one password with purchases associated with just one account that can be updated on my computer as well as my iPhone.

HT4865 How can I have multiple icloud email accounts using the same rescue email account.

I have several Iphones for my business for managers to use.
I would like to set them up to send me the recovery emails but it seems only one icloud address can do that.
Is it possible to have multiple icloud email accounts using the same - seperate recovery email address?

Unfortunately, you cannot change your primary @me.com or @icloud.com email address, you could however create an alias or create a completely new account.

Installing a LOB App for Multiple Accounts On The Same Surface Device

Hi,
When installing apps to iOS & Android there is no concept of a local user account, and an app can only be installed once. For Windows devices, a single device can have multiple accounts. Those accounts can be local or domain and have administrator privileges
or not.
We are planning to use the Device Enrollment Manager concept in Intune to enroll approximately 200 non-domain joined devices. Each device will have two local accounts - one in English and one in French. We have a LOB Windows App that works in both
languages. We do not want the local accounts with the App to have administrative permission.
It seems you need local administrator permission to enroll the device. If I then install the app from this account, it works. However, I need the app installed on the local English and local French account.
When I log locally into the device using a standard account and log into the Company Portal, it shows the app as installed. It is not, however, installed for that user and is not accessible. Note that I'm using the same Intune account. It is only available
to the local administrator account. The only option I have is 'Re-Install'. When I select that, nothing happens - it is stuck in the "Installing..." state.
If I only enroll the device using the local administrator account and then log into the local standard account to install the app, it doesn't show as installed. When I choose to install it, it gets stuck on Installing.
I'm missing something here...
Is it possible to install an App from Intune more than once on a Surface device? Do the Intune accounts need to be unique per-install? Is it possible to install the app without local administrator permission?
Thank you!
-jd

An update. If I:
Enroll a Windows Surface using a local admin account
Request to install an app from a local standard account it appears stuck on Installing...
Log back in as the local admin account and wait, the app appears.
Questions:
Can the same app be installed into multiple local accounts on the same device? It doesn't look like it.
Is the local account used when the device is enrolled the only local account that will install Intune apps?
