Downloading on same account, different computers

I have two computers in my house. Different family members have their iPods registered to the different computers, but use the same Apple Account for iTunes. Do I have to download songs and videos and pay for them again if i'm downloading them on the same account but a different computer?

Same account, different computers...

Hi, I use my iTunes account on my MacBook and on someone elses laptop. If she downloads apps on her laptop, can I also have them on my MacBook?
It's doesn't show in the 'Purchased' tab in iTunes, however it does show in my recently purchased bit in my actual account details, but this doesn't allow me to download them to my laptop.
So basically, we both use the same account on my Mac and iPhone and on her laptop and iPod Touch. Can we share apps, because I can't seem to!

Copy the song files from your work computer to a portable medium such as a flash drive. The copy from the drive to the home PC, and add the songs to your library there. This works for non-purchased content as well.

Same account, different computers, plus iPhone

I have two computers. I use one primarily to keep my music on but it's getting outdated now and I would like to be able to use my main computer to syncronize my phone. When I plug in the phone to the new computer, it says it has to erase everything from the phone to sync. I don't understand this since I am using the same itunes account. Is there some way I can get it to work with both machines, or at least transfer everything over to the new computer from the old one? I understand I can't have one phone and two different accounts, but why can't I have my music appear on both machines without it erasing everything all of the time?
thanks!

Adobe Cloud, Same account, 2 computers, different trial dates?

Hello, I am trying out the new Adobe Premiere 2014 edition. I have two MacBooks, with creative cloud under the same account installed on both of them. I pay for Adobe cloud photography package monthly. However, I am thinking of going for the whole package because I enjoy Adobe Premiere.
But, I wanted to get my 30 day trial before I did that. On one computer, it says I have 30 days remaining in my trial. On the other computer it says I have 2 days remaining on my trial. I have assured they are signed in under the same account. In fact, they have to be, or I couldn't use Photoshop, which I pay for.
Second question, If after the trial is over, I decide to get Premiere Pro CC 2014, which cost 20 dollars, is there anyway to make the bill for it due the same day as the Photoshop package?
When the trial expires and the, 'Buy,' button comes up, there is no need to uninstall but it and then reinstall correct? All I need to do is hit buy, put in the information, and it will unlock it? The reason this question is important, is because I live in a place that has very limited internet. So, I have to go to a distance to download large files or I'll go over my data cap at my house. So, I want to download it at the location I'm at now, and when the trial runs out, I do not want to have to drive far away to re download it.

Hi Justin Curtis,
There could be a possibility that the there is difference in activation date.
If you are not able to use Photoshop CC, try the below mentioned steps and share the results.
Creative Cloud applications ask for serial number
Activation & Deactivation Help
Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later, Acrobat DC
Answer 2: If you wish to pay for both the subscription on the same day. You would have to make sure that the purchase date of Premier Pro cc has to be same to that of Photoshop CC.
Answer 3: Once your trail is expired and you have purchase it, there is no need to re-install the app.
Please sign out and sign back in to creative cloud .
Sign in, Sign out | Creative Cloud desktop app
Please revert in case of further query.
Thanks,

Downloading songs from two different computers, and not recognizing songs

On my home computer, I downloaded about 40 songs onto my IPod from CDs. Then, I installed the program on my work computer, and purchased four songs from ITunes. When I plug my IPod into my work computer, it is not recognizing the songs I downloaded from my home computer. However, if I plug my IPod into my work computer, I can listen to these four purchased songs, but once I try to listen to them without having it plugged into my work computer, only the songs I downloaded from home are on the IPod.
Has this happened to anyone else who has tried to put songs from two different computers onto their IPod?

Just to elaborate a bit, you need to copy the purchased files and put them on your home computer.
Don't burn them as an audio CD as you will lose quality when you re-import them.
You can use the Shuffle (instead of a CD) to do this

Loading songs onto same iPod, different computers

Can you load your iPod from different computers (iTunes installed on both)? When I tried to load some new stuff from a different location, it says it's linked to another iTunes library, do I want to replace what's on the iPod with the new library (something like that). Will this wipe out all my current songs on my ipod?

Yes it will.
Sadly you can't change the settings inside iTunes until the iPod is connected... the default setting is to automatically update the connected iPod with the computer's music library.
However, it is possible to do, although a little unconventional and would probably not be something apple would recommend...I have done it several times with no effect to the iPod.
Connect it to your computer
As soon as iTunes recognises it, change the settings so that you manually update iPod, then...
manually disconnect your iPod without ejecting it
Wait for a few moments and...
Bob is your uncle!
Reconnect and manually update at your own leisure keeping your old tunes

Connecting Mac pro and iPad - same account different addresses

I have been reading the posts here and am a little confused about FaceTime setup.
I have an iPad with FT preinstalled. My Mac pro at home should be able to handle FT as should my MacBook pro. I understand that I can buy FT from the app store and it will work on all machines with my mac.com account.
Where the confusion comes in is people outside my account. If I am away from home with my iPad and/or laptop, will I be able to FT with someone at home? Since the home computer is registered to my Mac.com account along with my iPad, I know I cant connect to the home machine using the same account/email.
Can my wife or kids use FaceTime on my home computer with their own accounts to send or receive facetime calls from me when I am traveling? If I set up a separate user account for them on my machine will they have to buy their own copy of FT to access it (since activation seems to be tied to a .mac account) If they use their email while logged into my account, can I change the ft address on that computer back to mine when I get home?
this new app store activation process has me confused already, and the additional address need for FaceTime complicates the process even further. Any clarification on how this works and the possible limitations would be appreciated.

Just to be clear. There is no FireWire connection for the iPad.
To connect the iPad to your Mac use the cable that came with the iPad. Plug one end into the iPad and the other into your Mac.
Now, keep in mind that the iPad requires USB 2.0 on your Mac.
Also to transfer files you need iTunes 10.7 or 11.0.2 which is the latest.
iTunes 10.7 or 11.0.2 on your Mac requires OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or later.
Make sure your Mac meets the system and iTunes requirements before proceeding.
So start iTunes on your Mac. If it is iTunes 11.0.2 use the View menu in iTunes to view Sidebar.
Then connect the iPad.
You will not see the iPad listed like a hard drive on your Mac. It will show up in the Sidebar of iTunes.
Finally, does your daughter sync her iPad to another computer? If so use that computer to add the movie to her iPad. Connecting her iPad through iTunes to your computer and syncing to add the Movie will cause all photos, music, etc. that were synced from your daughters computer to be deleted.

Same account - different suffixes consolidation

my iphone thinks my apple id is [email protected], my mac thinks it's xxxx and my iPad thinks it's [email protected] They are all the same account - how do I combine them to [email protected]? Many thanks

Thanks for your message. I can sign out on my mac and change the id but not on my iphone which - for example in app store prompts me to sign in to app store but gives me a prefilled unchangeable id

Downloading songs from two different computers?

Can you just download music from another computer on you iphone or would that just mess everything up?

The iphone can only download music from one computer at a time.
If you connect the iphone to a second computer and download music, it will erase all the music from the first computer.
However, if you have music on 2 computers that you wont to combine into one itunes music library, this article might help out.

Also, if the music you want to combine is purchased music from the itunes music store, this article might help out.

Do we have to pay for audiobooks twice on same account, different phones?

My husband bought and listened to an audiobook on his iPhone.
Now I'd like to listen to that same book on my iPhone. Do I have to pay for it again?
It's not in my list of purchases or on my computer backup. I started to use the cloud about a year ago and he has just started using the cloud in the past month.
Help please!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Audiobooks are not currently part of the content that can be re-downloaded. You should sync your audiobooks to other devices via iTunes on your computer.

RE-CONNECTING email to my pearl (same account, different password)

Hi--
I recently changed passwords on my personal email account also connected to my blackberry. The phone automatically disconnected my email as the password was invalid. I want to re-connect but have been unable.
I click the email appliation and scroll to existing users. I don't know what Log-in is being requested? What user name is this? to my blackberry? to my email? Nothing i have tried (usual ones i use) is successful. If i don't know my username i can't get my password emailed to me...so...this seems like a circle.
I cannot click "create new account" because one exists for my PIN.
Where can i find the information i'm missing?? I am very frustrated. Any help would be greatly appreciated

it should be simple. there are 2 ways you can create your BIS (BlackBerry internet service account)account, if it was initally created using computer you can log on to your service providers BIS site, link can be found here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/software/internet.jsp
once you are on the site you can log in using ur user id and and password and if you dont remember password you can use forgot password option and then once logged in you can add new pasword for you email account.
other way will be to click on email setup icon on your BB and then you can edit your email address and enter new password for your email address

The send button will remain greyed outmunless your address is to a valid i message person. Start from your contacts. Find the person, then push message. It will flip to i message, and ifnthe recipient is valid, the send button will be blue or green. If it stays grey, the peron is not on i message. Once youmcommincate with someone in i message, their neame will show up in the i mesage list within the app.
