Do I need to have the same Apple id on iPod and computer to sync?

I want to sync music from my husbands computer to my nano ipod.  Do I have to change my Apple ID to his on my iPod so both have the same I'd?

Find my phone app is related to the Apple Id not the device,
The device is then linked to the Apple ID as well.
So If you have an different AppleID on each, you would have two Find my phones

  • I have two itunes accounts on two different computers, can i merge the accounts so i can then have the same music on both ipod and iphone?

    i have two itunes accounts one for each of my two computers, can i merge them so that i can have the same music on my ipod and iphone,
    it is all so confusing i need help!!!

    You can't currently merge accounts and the content will remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it, though you can have more than one account authorised on the same computer's iTunes via Store > Authorise This Computer. As only one account can be actually logged in at a time (Store > Sign In / Sign Out) for purchasing or re-downloading/viewing past purchases, you may want to use just the one account for future purchases.

  • Why can't I have the same apple ID for iCloud and iTunes?

    After down loading the latest upgrade on my 5s, the iCloud Apple ID (which is an email address I don't use) keeps asking me for a password that I don't have.  When I change it to a new password (I've done it 4 times) it keeps going back to the password is incorrect.  I've tried to restore the phone to factory settings and that still doesn't work. I have no problem with my Itunes ID or password so I don't know how to change the iCloud ID or password so it can be the same ID and password for iTunes.  Can someone help me bc I'm about to go crazy!

    I'm not entirely clear about which Apple ID you are describing. Is this the ID for Settings/iCloud? You say it isn't an email you use. But was it an email you ever used? Or is it one you don't recognize? If you used it in the past you can reset your Apple ID to it temporarily (https://appleid.apple.com), log out, then log back in with the new one. If you forgot the password you can attempt to find it at https://iforgot.apple.com. As a fallback you can contact Apple Account Security at Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support.
    If you are not the first owner of the phone and the Apple ID is NOT one that you have ever used the phone is Activation Locked to the previous owner, and only the previous owner can unlock it. See: Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support

  • HT4743 Have purchased a movie on apple TV and would like to have the movie available to my ipod and computer but am unable to see it in my ipod/computer library.  Movies bought from itunes via the computer can be played on both apple TV and the ipod.

    Have bought a movie via apple TV and would like to have it available on my computer and ipod but it doesn't appear in the library on either.  If I purchase a move from itunes via the computer it's available on both my ipod and apple TV.  Can anyone help?

    Simply download the content on the computer from the purchase history.

  • When my husband set up his new iPhone I read a message wrong when it popped up on my phone and now our messaging is synced. Is it because we have the same apple ID? Do we need to change that?

    When my husband set up his new iPhone I read a message wrong when it popped up on my phone and now our messaging is synced. Is it because we have the same apple ID? Do we need to change that?

    Yes, its best to have each individual apple ids. You can also go to settings, messages, send and recieve, start new conversation from, make sure there is a check mark beside each of your own individual email, not the same one on each phone.

  • How do I set up the app FindMyiPhone on more than one phone when all phones have the same Apple ID?

    I have two iPhones and I want to set up FindMyiPhone on both phones but we both have the same apple acct.  I want to be able to track my teenage son's whereabouts and this would be a good way.  When I log into iCloud, only my iPhone shows up.  His used to but after I did a weekly restart on my iPhone I lost his.  Before, mine wasn't showing up, only his.  Now mine show's up but his doesn't.

    You could look at using a template.  Create your master template, create editable and non-editable regions, then use this template create all the child pages.  When you need to make a change to the menu, make it in the template and the changes will flow down to all the pages created from the template.
    Using DW Templates:

    The other option would be to create the Navigation item as a server side include...

    Difference between using a template and server side includes.
    When you make a change to a template, you need to re-upload all the pages created from the template.
    Using a SSI, you make the change in the ssi file,  upload it and all pages are automatically updated.

  • 2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

  • I have 2 iPads, they both have the same apple I'd and password. Can I change the I'd and password on one so they will operate separately. Right now when my husband adds a game etc. it goes on mine too. Also the information in pages that I put in shows up

    CAn I change the apple I'd and password on one of my two iPads and will they both operate separately. Right now when my husband adds a game it also is added to the other one and when I add recipes in pages, they go into the other I pad too.  When I purchased the new iPad I was told I had to have the same apple Id as the first one, I would like them to be separate, is this possible?

    You need to create a new Apple ID to use with the other iPad, then sign out in Settings>iCloud and sign in with the new ID. Of course any data such as contacts and calendars which have been synced from the first iPad will be removed from the second one when you do this.

  • Can i have the same Apple-Id-Account to two iPhone?

    Can i have the same Apple Id Account to two iPhone?

    If I create a new iTunes account for the German itunes store, what happened with my previous purchases? Do they remain on my iPhone and my Mac's iTunes?
    Nothing will happen to your existing purchases. Your computer will remain authorized - you can authorize a single computer to up to five iTunes Store accounts - and the apps and content will remain in place.
    Can I switch from one acount to the other every time I want to update an application or purchase a new one?
    As long as you're in the relevant country, yes. Again, the terms of use say that you agree not to even attempt to use an iTunes Store from outside of its country.
    Regards.

  • I have recently bought a second I phone4 and have the same apple ID on both of them, strangely I noticed the messages sent from one phone appearing the other one along with any pictures I sent from one of my Iphones. Is it possible to see the same msgs.

    You need to setup different Receive At addresses for iMessage.
    If you don't want the same pics on each, turn off PhotoStream.

  • HT204053 I cannot use the password to update apps on my second IPhone.  It only works on one of the phones. They both have the same Apple ID and password.

    I cannot use the password to update apps on my second IPhone.  It only works on one of the phones. They both have the same Apple ID and password.

    If it really does not work, change your password here https://appleid.apple.com (Manage account) and try to add the account again. I hope it helps.

  • HT204380 Can I facetime talk from my Iphone to my Ipad if they have the same apple ID?

    I want to talk to my child when I'm not at home.  We have an Ipad that is in our house, and I have an Iphone on me all the time.  When I call my e-mail address from my Iphone, it rings on my Ipad, but immediatly says it is busy.  Is this because I have the same Apple ID set up for both devices?  Is there a way to make it work anyway?

    both superiormac and iCrizzo are wrong i have an iphone and an ipad 2 and have tried the same.
    the key is to call the mobile no. (with which you registered the iphone) using the ipad or call the apple id you have on the ipad from iphone. But you have to sign out from the apple id from the facetime option in the iphone.

  • I'm a school tech coordinator. Many computers and many iPads. How many Apple IDs can I have per device, and how many devices can have the same Apple ID? To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

    I'm a school tech coordinator. I have many computers and many iPads. I apologize if there is a some place that has all the rules governing the use of Apple IDs. I looked, and I even tried to get the answers from multiple Apple rep's. I couldn't find the answers.
    How many Apple IDs can I have per device?
    I want to use the same computer to sync and backup many iOS devices. The iOS devices would be associated with different Apple IDs.
    I may load apps under a school Apple ID and have users load their own apps under thier own ID.
    How many devices can have the same Apple ID?
    Can I use the same Apple ID on all the computers in a lab?
    Can I use the same Apple ID on all iPads for a particular grade level?
    Are the rules different for iOS devices and computers?
    I know that there are limits on "authorize" and "de-authorize" and how frequently those things can be done.
    Recently I heard that for the life of an iOS device, it can only be associated with five Apple IDs. That is not good for a school giving iPads to students in a 1:1
    To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

    It would be best to address your questions there, especially since this is a public forum, and over there you could post more private issues with this set-up. Not to mention, getting more official answers.
