Easy switch between iTunes accounts

I have two itunes accounts (one US and one norwegian). I frequently switch between the two when I check for updated apps and such. Now I would like to do this using only a keyboard shortcut or such to save time.
Does anyone know if or how this is possible?

Hello
Did you ever find a solution to this by any chance? I know so many people in this situation with both a UK and US account - makes it so difficult to download apps from the App Store!
You are only allowed to use the App store of the country you are actually located in.
When Apple discovers someone doing so (and they will when they post it on Apple's website), Apple can (and have with others) locked the accounts so you no longer have access to anything purchased with those accounts.

  • HT202157 switching between itunes accounts

    i just upgraded my itunes account tonight.  i have a question: is the switching between itunes accounts legal?  How do they know you are not getting a friends account info and watching their movies?  Does anyone know the answer to how this works and if it is legal?
    Thanks,
    Dena

    The potential to associate a computer to an account for 90 days has been possible for a number of years like it has been on iOS devices, and can happen if you use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownload past purchases (though, based on some posts I've seen, it doesn't always seem to happen) - I believe it's an attempt to try and stop people logging into their account on other people's computers or devices and redownloading/sharing their content, not to stop people having multiple accounts.
    It shouldn't stop you buying new content on the account, just doing any of the above three things. If you want to do one of them on your other account then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will remove the current association, but if you then do one of them on the other account then you are likely to start a 90 association to that account instead : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support.

  • HT1689 can i switch between itunes accounts on ipad as much as i want

    Is it possible to switch betweeen itunes accounts/apple id's on the same ipad as much as I want without losing what apps and movies are currently on the ipad?

    From
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also beauthorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:

  • Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

    Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer? My kids iPods are under my account now with all of our shared music but they want their own iTunes accounts. I would like to transfer the music and apps that they purchased under my account to their new accounts... Is this posible?

    Did you enable the display of system files and hidden files and folders?
    by the way, how can i stop this from happening another time.
    Make a backup!
    i had music there for over 6 years.
    Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.

  • HT204053 How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    If you are asking because you are getting an 'account not in this country' error message then on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on the device and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section on that screen and select Nigeria.
    If you need to update your address on your account from the US to Nigeria then on your computer's iTunes you should be able to do so by signing into your account via the Store > View Account menu option and updating your address, or on an iOS device you can do it by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store similar to above.

  • Need to switch my iTunes account to a new Windows computer (with other issues)

    I am trying to switch my iTunes account over to my Windows laptop. My old Windows computer is completely dead at the moment but I am trying to find someone to recover the data. All I have at this point is my ipod with the music on it, but I'm afraid that if I plug it into my laptop, it will delete the music from my account. Also, I need to figure out how to change the iTunes user on my laptop. My husband got an account which he never used, so I just need to log out and log on with my account that has the music synced the the ipod, but I couldn't find a way to do that. Any suggestions?

  • Easy Switch between xorg.conf files enable disable tvout

    Hello,
    This is my first post on this forum, so i'am not sure were to put my post, but i think here is the best place
    summary:
    Easy Switch between xorg.conf files, and enable/disable startup applications. Script does this:
    detect which xorg.conf file is used and then depending on which one is used do 1 or 2:
    1. copy tvout.conf to xorg.conf and disable all startup applications + enable one or more startup application(s) defined in the script startupappsoff
    2. copy xorg.conf.backup to xorg.conf and enable all startup applications + disable one or more startup application(s) defined in the script startupappson
    I thought it would be nice to share the script i created for an easy switch between two xorg.conf files. Myself preferred to switch between two xorg files for personal need.
    Beside only switching between two xorg.conf files i would like to enable/disable some startup apps, therefor i created the scripts startupappsoff and startupappson.
    If you want to use these scripts, look in this code for comments, and custimize at the points A. to I. Further read the comments on top of each script.
    If something is not clear or is not correct, your free to ask!
    have fun!
    The script to be run to switch:
    tvout
    #!/bin/sh
    #summary: This programm switches xorg.conf file with an other and back. Also it calls the programms startupappsoff and startupappson.
    #in order to get this as a command, copy this program to: /usr/bin/
    #to execute without password, add: <username> ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/tvout (replace <username> with your own)
    #A. this script needs to recorgnize the different xorg.conf files you want to use. So put on top of your xorg.conf files in the first line: #tvout or #original
    var1=$(head -1 /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
    if [ $var1 == "#original" ]
    then
    #B. put here the path to your own custimized xorg.conf
    sudo cp /mnt/data1/Arch\ Files/xorg.conf.tvout /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    zenity --info --text 'tv-out enabled, to switch press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE'
    #C. put here the path to startupappsoff and change username
    su rob /mnt/data1/Arch\ Files/startupappsoff
    fi
    if [ $var1 == "#tvout" ]
    then
    #D. put here the path to your backuped xorg.conf or second custimized xorg.conf
    sudo cp /mnt/data1/Arch\ Files/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    zenity --info --text 'tft-out enabled, to switch press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE'
    #E. put here the path to startupappson and change username
    su rob /mnt/data1/Arch\ Files/startupappson
    fi
    startupappsoff
    #!/bin/sh
    #this programm turns startup programms off and turns only the startup programms defined here on
    for file in $(ls ~/.config/autostart/);
    do
    #switch all startup apps off
    #G. change rob to your own username
    sed -i 's/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true/X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false/g' /home/rob/.config/autostart/$file
    #H. switch only these startup apps on, change rob to your own username

    Many thanks, I am actually using your script minus the app changing script - to change my xorg from my dual screen display to a single screen display and my s-video tvout.
    Now I need to tune my xorg to work, but I am trying to add the <username> ALL=NOPASSWD for the script to work without password but I do not know where to add the line and the format of the line?
    Again many thanks for your script,
    looking forward for your reply,
    Regards

  • HT1539 Transferring digital copies between iTunes accounts

    Hi
    I have recently set up my own iTunes account, but digital copies of films I have got in the past are on my old account &amp; the redeeming codes won't let me download them again. Does anyone know if its possible to transfer digital copies between iTunes accounts?
    If not, is there any way I can get these films on my iPad that's linked to my new account?
    Any advice anyone can give me will be helpful. Cheers.

    It's not possible to transfer 'normal' iTunes purchases between accounts, and I assume that the same thing applies to digital copies. You should be able to copy them onto the computer that you sync the iPad from, authorise that account on it (via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option in iTunes), add them to its iTunes (File > Add To Library), and then sync them to your iPad

    How do I set up Snow Leopard so that when I switch between user accounts the screen gives the appearance of swiveling on an axis?

    That is strange, I never noticed before, but I just tested a few scenarios, it looks like it only rotates on the first login of another user... OR... after another user logs out and you choose another logged in one.

  • How do I switch an Itunes account to our company account

    Hello all,
    I am a video editor at a community college. I use FCPX and Motion apps that was bought on my predisessors ITunes account. Now we want to make an account for the production department. I am in dire need to update my two apps but the account is in his name. He did move departments so I can get ahold of him but it's a major hassle tracking him down everytime I need to update my programs.
    What's the easy way to switch a prexsisting account and tranfer to a new company account?

    Unfortunately, it's not possible to transfer purchases from one account to another. If you are going to 'take over' the existing account, you will need to contact your predecessor.

  • Create a shared playlist between iTunes accounts?

    Can you create a shared playlist between 2 iTunes accounts? It would be easier if I could copy songs from one account to the other. However, when I am on the MBP and open the shared account on the iMac, I can see and play the iMac music from the MBP, but I can't seem to be able to transfer songs.
