Can my wife I each use our personal itunes accounts at the store to buy apps or ibooks on "our", that is, the same ipad2?

Yes you can!
All you need is to log out from the App store and log with the Apple ID that you wish to use on buying apps or books from the stores.
Do note that if you have apps in the iPad purchase using two different Apple IDs, whenever there is an update you need to log into the appropriate Apple ID to install the update. Though the device will show you the apps that needed updates but it will only update when it is logged in to the Apple ID that has purchased the app. So what you need to do is to log in to the appropriate Apple ID get the update then log out and log in with the other Apple ID for the other updates if relevant.

I'm using my personal iTunes account to publish my church's podcast, but I want to change the name of the publisher from my name to my church's name. Can I do this within my account?

I've even tried to set up a new iTunes account, but it defaults to my first and last name because of the billing address being linked to my personal card.

Your name is normally carried in the 'itunes:author' tag and appears in smaller print above the title. You can change either this or the title itself in the same place in whatever program you are using to make your podcast and reupload the feed. You don't need to take any further action; the Store willn probably take a few days to update.
However, if you are going to change the title be careful: some podcast creatioin methods give the rss file a filename drawn from the title, and if you change the title it may change that. You can't have that happen because the Store will lose contact with the feed if its URL changes (there is a way round this which I will explain if you really need me to - do not proceed without checking on this). If your feed filename is something like rss.xml or feed.xml then there isn't a problem about the title.

Can Apple TV 2 be used without an iTunes account?

We want to set up an Apple TV in the break room of the office.
Users wil be able to use the company Netflix account to watch free stuff. They'll be able to watch YouTube and any other free stuff available on ATV.
But... we do not want users to be able to rent or purchase movies from the iTunes Store.
So my question is... can the ATV be setup without inputing details of an iTunes Store account?
Cheers,
b.

AppleTV CAN be used with Netflix, et al. without having to enter an iTunes stores username/password.

I can't use the store to buy apps as it was set to USA by my grandson. How do I reset it to Ireland?? Thanks.

I am unable to download new apps. I get a message saying I am not able to purchase from the US store and I don't seem to be able to find a way to change the setting(there is no flag in the bottom right of my screen).
I hope someone can help.
Thank you.

If your grandson has actually changed the location of your apple id as per say the country of your apple id then you need to go into iTunes on your computer and under account settings change the country back to Ireland.

I used a different iTunes account on my phone to download apps. Now I have my own, but the apps i downloaded on the other account won't update.

iTunes keeps asking me for the password of the other account, but it doesnt exist anymore because my daughter changed her account. How do I get my apps to download on MY account?

The problem is that you do not own the apps purchased under any account other than your own.
You could potentially use the apps from another account, but you will not be able to update them on your iPhone. The best way to try to use those apps would be to use iTunes on your computer to sync your iPhone (and hold all the apps), then, in iTunes on your computer, do Store > Authorize This Computer from iTunes' menu and enter the other account's Apple ID and password.

HT1349 I was using a joint itunes account with my partner for downloading apps etc, I have an iphone 4 and partner as an ipod but i thought it would best to have my own account,that was fine but

I would like to have my apps under my own itunes account as most of them where with a joint account as i have an app where it comes up under my own account but when you want to purchase something from that app it wont allow, as it was 1st bought on the joint account and i dont want to loose all the information, and i also have a few other apps that has alot of info that is stored on them which i dont want to loose how do i rectify this?
Thanks

Using iPads @ configurator in school with school AND personal iTunes accounts

Hi all,
My kids school has introduced a managed ipad program which includes most parents purchasing the iPads but still having them managed by the school.
As we own these devices the kids take them home every day
iPads are ipad 3 and above
The school has setup configurator for mass deployments/ updates etc. and have the one iTunes account for all using vpp
With the initial deployment we were able to install our own personal apps using our own personal iTunes account to install and update ourselves.
There was no expectation that the school would manage these personally acquired accounts.
In the last week the school has removed the App Store front the iPads effectively removing any ability we have to install our own personal apps.
I have spoken with them and their stance is that it is too hard to manage updates because occasionally the iPads come back to the school logged in with the personal iTunes account
Can anyone out there please share any experience/solution that they may have which will allow the iPads to be managed through configurator whilst still allowing us to install our personal apps?
The school have said they will return our rights if a solution can be found.
I am very surprised that this is not possible and seek the assistance of the community.
I am based in Australia
Thanks in advance

Hi Rob,
If the school is using Apple Configurator and have set the iPads to "Supervised" mode, it will prevent anyone from using their personal computers and iTunes to install apps or copy other data to/from the iPads to the personal computer. If the school has restricted the App Store on the iPad with a configuration profile, then they've made it impossible for you as a parent to install apps. (I'm surprised they did this being that these are personally owned iPads!)
In our school district, we are set up with a "Layered Ownership" model that allow us to buy and install apps that were purchased by the district, as well as allow the kids to do the same with their own personal Apple IDs. We don't have the App Store locked down on the iPads. The kids or parents can log in to the App Store on the iPads and install whatever they want. Even if they are logged in with their own personal Apple ID, we can still install apps that we as a district purchase using an MDM.
All of the app updates that we do for the apps that we have purchased are done though an MDM (mobile device management) server. There are many MDMs out there and perhaps your kid's school district could look in to using an MDM to manage their app distribution. There are a few different ways that MDMs have to distribute apps so your kid's school would want to talk to an MDM provider to see how they can help in your situation. We've been using an MDM in our school district for a year now and its been working great.
Here's a list of MDMs that you could send to your kid's school:

How can I set up my Mac Pro so that my wife and I can use our separate iTunes accounts? I keep getting an error message that the computer is already associated with an Apple ID even though the two accounts are associated with separate log ins!

I'm getting very confused with setting up multiple user accounts on my Mac Pro for my wife and I. We each have a separate iTunes account, and we want to keep our music libraries seaprate. I've set up two user accounts on the Mac Pro and I have my iTunes authorised and logged into my user account on my user account. Under my wifes user account (i.e. a separate log in on the computer) I'm trying to set up her iTunes account, but I can't download or play anything from the cloud - it just says "This computer is already associated with another iTunes Account" and tells me that if I 'transfer' then I won't be able to use the other one for 90 days! This is really annoying as my wife can't access music she has purchased on her iTunes account on the home machine. We're not trying to do anything dodgy, just access our music on our own accounts on separate log ins on the same machine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Allan, thanks for that. I've already set up a log in for my wife and that is all working fine. The problem is that when she logs in and opens iTunes and trys to associate her library with her iTunes account she gets the error message "This computer is already associated with another iTunes account". Whilst this is true, the computer is associated with my iTunes account under my separate log in, which should have nothing to do with hers. If she transfers the association to her account it will lock me out of my content on my log in for 90 days - I'm trying to work out how to associate each of the log in accounts with a separate iTunes account so we can access our music independently of one another without locking each other out. Hope that makes sense!

How can my wife and I use our two iTunes account on one iPad

How can my wife and I use our two iTunes accounts on one IPad

Unfortunately it will be difficult. iPads are personal devices like phones and done have credentials. You can of course log out of and into the app store to download purchased apps but the iPad will then have all the apps of both your wife and you (though you could put these into folders I guess).

My husband and i share a macbook. we each have our own log-in and we each have our own itunes account. how can we share our libraries?

My husband and I share a macbook. We each have our own log-in and we each have our own itunes account. How can we use home sharing?

First, you need to understand that there's a difference between "syncing" and "backup". Backup is the saving of content and settings, where syncing is the bidirectional transfer of content for an account to a web-based server (like iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
If you see your calendar in your iCloud account, that implies that you have set up your iCloud account to host (sync) your calendar, and perhaps contacts, email, and notes. An iCloud account can only sync one user's information at a time so it is intended to support a single user. You can have more than one iCloud account, and you can even have more than one iCloud account on the same device (but one has to be primary, and the secondary iCloud has limited capabilities), but a single iCloud account only supports a single user's content.
Backup is the saving of your device's content and settings to use in case you need to recover these things, but you can't see the contents of your backup (just the size and device name). You can backup more than one device to iCloud and you can backup to iCloud or you can backup to your computer, or both (one at a time though, you have to choose).
So, if your wife has her own email and calendar she can certainly do that in parallel to whatever account(s) you have for email and calendar. But if you have only one iCloud account then only one of you can use it for email, calendar, etc. But the backup of these accounts is really just a backup of the device's settings that link the device to these accounts. For example, if she uses Gmail then the backup of the iPad only backs up the fact that your iPad is set up to use her account, it does not backup the account itself (the content of her account is saved and preserved on Google's servers, not your device's backup).
Does that make better sense?

My wife and I own an iMac (April 2011) and just recently got iPhones. We share one iTunes account (mainly for our uploaded music from CD). Do we each need to have our own iTunes account? What about iCloud? We want to utilize the same Calendar/Contacts

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

HT204053 Can my wife and I use the same apple ID?

Can my wife and I use the same Apple ID?

You can certainly use the same ID for an itunes store account to share purchased items. However for icloud, it's designed so that each account pertains to one user for each of his/her devices. The main purpose of icloud is syncing and backups of iOS devices. Do you really want to have the same email account, same contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc? Usually a couple needs to have separate icloud accounts. They can share calenders if they want.
The danger of two users using one account is if one user edits or deletes (on purpose or accidentally) data, that will propagate to the other user's devices.

I have a personal itunes account with an iPhone5s and an iPad 4 mini. I have unlokced my old iPhone 4 to use for work on a diffeent SIM and new number, can i have all devices associated to me single appleID and use both numbers ?

I have a personal itunes account with an iPhone5s (perosnal mobile numer) and an iPad 4 mini (no SIMM). I have unlocked my old iPhone 4 to use for work on a different SIM and new number,
Do you know if I can have all devices associated to my single apple ID and still use both numbers without messing up my profile. It has just changed my number over.

I would not be able to give you idiot proof guide, since different games are different. Some of them have icloud integrated already, but those already taken care of. Some of them use specific logins and once you log - you get your info. General recommendation is to contact support sites of those games for enabling icloud instructions or enabling of transfer. There are other purely apple ways - like sync your phone in itunes and then sync apps with ipad, but those are only one time transfer. There is another way that is not typically recommended - restoring ipad from iphone backup. It may transfer your game content, but once again sync in the future has to be done by game.
So if I were you, I would address that individually with every game provider.
