Can two iphones on different accounts sync from the same itunes account?

I have an iphone through work. The iphone along with four other various types of ipods sync with my accounts on iTunes, including thousands of purchased songs. My wife is getting an iphone but she had to do if through her work.
How do I make sure she can still sync with my library of purchased songs? We all want to have just one itunes account even though the iphone will be purchased separately. Make sense?

*Is that all? Wow. Thank you so much. I will try it!*

Download them to the computer to which the iPod is synced, re-sync.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

Can you connect 2 apple TV's to the same iTunes account in 2 different houses ?

Can you watch them both at the same time?

Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

From what I can tell this is a bug.
A very Frustrating bug. When the take 2 update launched I was streaming movies via "shared movies" from my synched computer without any issues. However after a couple of recent iTunes updates all the "shared" menus stopped appearing and I can no longer stream anything from my main computer.
When I open up my macbook though everything streams fine, all the "shared" menus immediately appear.
Numerous restarts, factory resets and reinstalling the 2.0 software have done nothing to help this issue.
If anyone has any more light on the subject it'd be great to hear. Also I'm not sure which update broke it because I went about a month not using the apple tv.

Can I have an iphone 4s and itouch 4g on the same itunes account?

You can activate up to 10 devices with the same Apple ID.

When I logged on to itunes my daughters contacts uploaded to my iphone. We do not share the same itunes account. Does anyone know how to get rid of her contacts other then manually deleting them one by one?

When i logged onto my itunes account, my daughters contacts uploaded to my iphone. We do not share the same itunes account so i don't know how this happened. Does anyone know how to remove her contacts from my phone with out having to manually delete them one by one?

Apparently, you have set up the same iCloud account on both devices or you are syncing both devices under the same user ID on the same computer and have ended up syncing both of them with the same address book on the computer.

How do I sync apps from the same iTunes account to an iPhone 3G and an iPhone 4S and keep correct version for each iOS?

I have an old 3G as well as a 4S. Initially I set up a separate iTunes account for the 4S as I was worried I'd lose my old apps for 3G (as older, compatible versions aren't kept in the iTunes store so once they're gone, they're gone...). 3G is set up to sync with iTunes, 4S is inly syncing mail and conatcts through Exchange but hasn't been synced with an iTunes library for the reason above.
Is there a way to sync both phones off the same iTunes account, so I can set up each phone with some music, as well as apps, without iOS 5 versions overwriting the exisitng apps for the 3G?
To complicate things further, I don't want to sync photos, contacts, messages, etc. I just want to avoid having to duplicate all my music and pay for all the apps all over again. Suggestions?
Cheers

Hi gail,
Thanks for the quick reply! The music part makes sense, good to know I don't have to duplicate the lot. The big question stillr emains as to whether iTunes can cope with two different iPhones, running different versions of the iOS, and therefore different app versions.
Currently all the apps in iTunes are years old, and many haven't updated in months (years?) because the 3G is running iOS 4.2.1 (and can't be upgraded). Many of these have since been updated in the iTunes store (for the various incarnations of iPhone since) and the old versions that my 3G requires have been replaced.
I'm worried that syncing the 4S running iOS 5, and running the most recent updates for same apps, will cause iTunes to overwrite the old 3G compatible ones when I sync. Unless iTunes is smart enough to know which version of the app is for which OS, without updating the legacy version when I update the apps on the 4S?
You guys shouldn't face that problem, as iPad and iPhone apps don't replace each other (I believe? Not sure about this) as new updates are released for each app, you'd have a copy for each device (for example Evernote for iPad, and Evernote for iPhone). I can't figure out if iTunes can handle keeping separate iPhone versions for Evernote iOS 4.2.1 and Evernote for iOS 5. My gut feeling is no, but I want to amke sure before I lose the legacy versions of each app.
Of course, maybe I'm just paranoid and iTunes is in fact perfectly capable of keeping old and new apps in the same library?
Cheers

Can I stream from the same iTunes account to 2 Apple Tv's in 2 different locations?

I currently have 1 Apple TV device at home. I'm thinking of buying a second one to keep in my office at work across town. My concern is this: my kids love streaming purchased movies and TV shows at home during the day while out of school. Will I be able to stream content purchased on the same iTunes account at the same time while I'm at work and my kids are at home watching on my first ATV device?
I know ATV isn't that expensive, but I would like to avoid duplicating purchases on a new iTunes account just so both locations can be streaming at the same time. Anybody know if this is possible?
Thanks ahead of time.

Yes. I would like to know if I can stream content from the apple store on both Apple TV devices simultaneously. Not from a computer, but items purchased from the Apple store on my first Apple TV device.
Thanks for the reply!

Iam using 2 different i phones on the same itunes account, Can I keep the contacts seperate with syncing?

I have one itunes account and am using 2 iphones, is it possible to keep all the "contacts" seperate from the two devices, so that I dont have to have all of my husbands contacts in the phone book? Or do I have to use 2 different itune accounts?

Your contacts are not part of your iTunes library. iTunes only syncs contacts with your phone from a supported program such as Outlook or mac Address Book. If you are trying to sync you contacts to the same program they will be merged. You could, however, set up two contact groups within Outlook, one for your contacts and one for his. Both groups would still besynced to both devices but you wouldn't have to look at the contact group you weren't interested in. Another option would be for one of you to continue to sync with iTunes with, for example, Outlook and the other sync contacts with another service such as Google or iCloud (be sure to uncheck Sync Contacts on the Info tab of the the iTunes sync settings for this phone).

How many apple devices can you sync to the same itunes account

I'm trying to sync 2 ipod touches with my itunes account along with my iphone. On one ipod, when I try to sync up it ghosts out my sync apps. I can purchase apps and they appear in my library but can transfer to ipod. Help!

This is a very odd problem, because it should connect to as many as you want. The problem could be a few things so check these and get back to me
see if iTunes is set to sync apps to that iPod
make sure the iPods are sighed into your apple account
make sure your computer is registered to your apple account
if none of these work, give some more information, the more the better when trouble shooting.

Can I set-up two podcast feeds and run them through the same itunes account?

I'm trying to set-up an additional podcast feed for iTunes for a different site than my personal podcast feed, but I don't want to have to create a second itunes account. Any suggestions?

You can submit any number of RSS feeds with your current account - there is no limit.

Iphone 4s activation- 2 phones on the same itunes account

My son has used my Itunes account and I thought he started his own when he got his Iphone. But, he didn't. He was able to activate his phone under my account. Now, my Iphone needed a reset and I can't re-activate it. It keeps telling me that I can't use the id. I put in my Apple ID but it says it can't be used to unlock the phone. Is this a US Cellular issue or an ITunes issue? Its' annoying me terribly since I can't use my phone now. I've tried so many different things. Just am about ready to throw the thing out. What do I do? Does he need to create a new account and if so, how since his phone is tied to my account now?

Hi lsbandt,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your running into an Activation Lock issue since restoring your iPhone. Take a look at the article linked below, it will provide more details about the feature and provide suggestions on how to recover the username and password.
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5818
What if I forget my Apple ID password?
If you forget your password, you can reset it at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) or by contacting Apple Support and verifying your identity. Once your password has been reset, it will work normally with Find My iPhone and Activation Lock.
If you forget your password and cannot reset it, you will lose access to your Apple ID and may be unable to use or reactivate your device. To help prevent this, visit My Apple ID periodically to review and update your account information.
What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.
Cheers!

Can I use IMessage between 2 devices on the same ITunes account?

I have2 IPads. One is and IPad 2 the other is an IPad 3. The 3 belongs to my daughter. We have wondered if she could IMessage me from her IPad to me on my IPhone or IPad.

Yes you can. I use 4 devices that share an Apple ID and we can FaceTime and Message with all 4 of them. You do need to create additional email addresses for three of the devices. You can use the Apple ID email address as the contact at email address on one of the devices. Some people suggest creating a new ID and iCloud account for this purpose, but you can do it with existing email addresses as well.
This is quite helpful. Give it a look.

Can you use 2 different on ipod on the same itunes?

I'm asking because my sister is buying an ipod and wants to use it on my itunes but she doesn't want my library to be copied to her new ipod.

There are several different ways to use two iPods with one computer, have a look at this help page for suggestions: How to use multiple iPods with one computer

Okay, I am now on IOS5. How do I know my data is being back up in iCloud? I did sign up for a me email account. Also, we have two IPads, as long as we have the same iTunes account should everything "live together" in the iCloud?

Okay, I have upgraded iPad and ipad2 to IOS5, how do I know my data is backed up in iCloud? Also, will both iPads be under one iTunes ID?

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.
