Can you use apps on more than one iphone?

My husband and I both have iphones. I sync my phone at work and he syncs his on our imac at home. We both have purchased apps that we would like to share. Can my apps be copied to the itunes at home and then be loaded on my husband's iphone? I think it is crazy that we have to pay so much for some of these business apps if we can't share them.

Thanks - I haven't any way of testing it but quickly scanning that article, I cannot see anywhere which says about content purchased by two different accounts being share-able. It allows content to be moved into a central library which itself becomes share-able between multiple devices (like an iTunes library on one machine being useable by another) but as there is no mention of the second machine I assumed that it had to be logged in with the same account.
I read it as sharing content between media purchased under the same account and if as was suggested earlier, Apps are DRM protected to a given account, I cannot see anywhere there which authorises Account A Apps to be used under Account B.
Maybe it works in practice, I don't know, in which case the article needs to be rewritten to make this clear, or the statement that an App is tied to an Account is false.
To take up wjostens point in the next post he/she says that both his and his wifes iPhone share the same Apps as they were bought with the same account. This I understand but thats NOT what the OP was asking.
The OP's have Apps bought with different accounts altogether and if they are tied to Accounts as Lawrence Finch suggests I cannot see how Person A can use Person B's purchased material when the DRM allegedly should prevent this ?
Surely if this were the case then anyone could use any App using Home Sharing by just importing Apps from a hard disc ?

  • Can you use aircards on more than one device?

    I'm asking for a friend of mine who has a Verizon aircard for his laptop.  His wife now has a netbook and they want to know if they can us his aircard in her netbook?  I tried to tell them how to setup a wireless hotspot, but neither of these people are that knowledge of computers much less setting up wireless networks.  So when he isn't using the card, she wants to be able to plug it in her netbook and go online.
    Thanks!

    I hope you are using the correct terminology in your question.  To clarify, an aircard could be a USB modem which can only connect to one computer at a time.  There are no restrictions on the number of computers you connect to the USB modem, but only one can connect at a time by design.  A netbook is a special computer designed in partnership with Verizon to have a wireless modem built into it.  There should be no need to use an additional USB modem with a netbook.

    If you want to be able to connect multiple computers to a single USB modem then you will need a special router such as those provided by CradlePoint.  CradlePoint routers have a special USB port on them which allows them to connect directly to the USB modem and rebroadcast that signal to multiple computers.  Check the statistics on the router before you purchase to make sure your USB modem is supported.
    Here is a link to display many of the possible CradlePoint routers:

    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

  • HT204291 Can you send music to more than one airplay enabled speaker at the same time

    I have just purchased an airplay enabled speaker which is great, I would like another in the kitchen so as you move from room to room you can listen to the same music but I am not sure if you can play the music through more than one speaker at a time ?

    iOS devices and Apple TV's will only send the audio to one Airplay speaker at a time. However, iTunes on a computer will send audio to multiple Airplay speakers. With the help of Home Sharing and Apple's free Remote app on an iOS device you can control iTunes as well as the speakers connected to it.

  • Can I use lightroom on more than one computer

    Am I able to use lightroom on more than one computer. As in if I download it to my PC can I then use the same license for my laptop?

    Yes, you are allowed to have to installations at any time from the same license, provided each installation is for your own personal use and the two installations are not used simultaneously

  • Can you put music in more than one genre without creating a new genre?

    My question is more specific than the subject. Is it possible to put albums and music in more than one genre category and not have it make a new genre in itself?
    (I view my music as a list, column browser on top. Genre is the left-most category and I narrow down what I'm looking for from there, left to right.)
    For example, I would like to have one album (Kundun) in both the "classical" genre category AND the "soundtrack" category. When I highlight the album and view the information("info") and at the bottom write "classical, soundtrack" in the genre drop down box, instead of listing the album in both classical and in soundtrack, iTunes instead creates an entirely new genre called "classical, soundtrack." This defeats the purpose, because it now separates it out from the rest of my classical music, or soundtrack music.
    Is there a solution to get what I am looking for? The album shows up in the soundtrack genre, and can show up in the classical genre.
    Thanks.

  • Can I use iPod with more than one computer?

    I have a 60gb iPod w/ color (4th Gen). On my laptop which is my home computer I also have all my music as well as on my iPod. I would like to know if I can put all my music on a second or even third computer so that I can access the music. Also, my girlfriend has a iPod nano. Would she be able to access my music if I put the music on her computer?

  • HT4528 I have an Iphone 4 CDMA. Can you pair it with more than one vehicle through HFL? I have Hondas. Also my new CRV receives texts through the Nav. It says this phone is non-compatible. Is there some software that needs downloaded?

    Can you pair through bluetooth my phone to more than one vehicle? My new Honda CRV receives text messages. However it says my Iphone 4 CDMA is not compatible. Is there software I need to download to my phone?

    If it works anything like Ford Sync, you can pair the same phone to different vehicles, as long as you set up separate Bluetooth profiles on the iPhone for each vehicle.
    As far as Texts go, you won't be able to get them in your vehicle because the iPhone doesn't have the software protocols to do it.  FWIW, I can't get texting from my iPhone 4S in my new Lincoln with Ford Sync either.

  • Can I use Pages with more than one user?

    Hi,
    I recently purchased Pages and want to be able to use it with two different users (one personal, one business). Is this possible? If so, how? I have no problem using it with the user I purchased it with, but my business user does not the option for Pages in the launchpad. How can I use Pages across users?
    Thank you,
    Britta

    Pages should be installed in the Applications folder at the top level of your hard drive to be available to all users of that Mac. By default, if you are logged in as an administrator, applications are installed in this folder. I haven't done it, but I understand that if you are not an administrator, applications are installed only in that user's applications folder.
    My installation of iWork is from the retail disc from more than three years ago but I did check for an app purchased from the Mac App Store in another user account on my Mac & had no problems finding it or launching it from Launchpad. Launchpad can be very cluttered &, unless you take the time to organize it, it can be very difficult to find a particular application. I would suggest trying to launch Pages from a Finder window or with a Spotlight search. And keep the Pages icon in the Dock for easy access the next time.

  • Can you install itunes on more than one computer?

    Hi all,
    I want to install the software for my first-generation ipod mini on my friend's computer, but I heard somewhere that you can only install the software on one computer and obviously I also want to be able to use it with my own computer as well. Can you install itunes software that comes with your ipod mini on as many computers as you want or only one?
    Many thanks,
    Samantha

    Sure you can. But instead of using the (more than likely) outdated CD, see the iTunes Download Page

  • Can I use itunes on more than one computer?

    Hello all, hoping you can help me.
    I have itunes on an old ( and therefore very slow!) laptop. Hoping to get a new laptop soon, but can I just install itunes on this new one and use it with my ipod?
    My ipod is set to update manually so I think it should be ok. Just don't want to do it before asking just in case I lose my music!
    Thanks.

    You're welcome. One word of caution though if you are using an iPod that holds more than your computer and you want to fill it to capacity. If you delete songs from your PC and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up songs you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes. Take care.

  • Can I use itunes for more than one device?

    Recently my son has aquired an ipod touch, he needs to be able to use itunes so he used my computer, however all my apps and music synced to his device, I managed to sort it out but when I plugged my ipod in I lost all my music and ended up with just his music.
    What I'm trying to say is do I need itunes on another computer to prevent all our stuff getting mixed up all the time or is there a way for me to use both ipods individually on one itunes?

    No. See:
    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
    If you use the same iTunes account, you can do it just by ensiring that the devices have different names. Then just go to the various panes (Apps, music etc.) and check the boxes so that only selected items sync to the iPod.

  • Can you sync Ipad with more than one computer?

    I am just curious, can I associate my Ipad with more than 1 computer.  I have a desktop and a laptop both with itunes and same library.  Can I sync the Ipad on both computers without it totally erasing the Ipad or should I only sync it on one computer?
    Than kyou in advance for the help.

    In theory - If the libraries are identical, yes it should work. Keeping the libraries identical might become a little challenging. You may want to make sure that you always manually transfer purchases whenever you sync to each computer to make sure that all content is always being transferred into each iTunes library and I would think that you would want to backup each time you sync as well. And you might want to sync with the one computer right after you sync with the other computer so that all of your data remains intact in the backups of both computers.
    You can always check by giving it a try and see of you get the "this iPad have been synced to a different computer" message and see what happens. If the message pops up, just cancel and don't sync.
    However, I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you absolutely have to for some reason.
