Have 4 accounts... need to have only one account!

santa dropped off four devices this year. two are ipad and two are ipod touch. on christmas eve I busily created an the gmail email account and then the apple id so christmas morning we weren't messing around getting them online.
what I didn't know is that when ipad (a) buys an app, ipad (b) can't use or see it. if we buy angry birds for one, we must buy angry birds for the other. I just know created a 5th email account on gmail AND a 5th apple id. i now need to change the setting on each of the four devices to reflect just the one user account for apps and such and still be able to use the other four email / apple accounts for facetime. i would really like skype but i can get it to work properly.
any thought, suggestion... guidance would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

i created a "master" 5th account. i have assigned that account to ALL four devices and now I have another question.
facetime is the apple skype like app. when each device had its our account, i was easily able to facetime between devices quick and easy by simply clicking the apple id each individual device. how do i make that happen now? if they haven't work it out somehow i will be amazed and the ipad, ipod, itunes couldn't be more easy. i am a pc guy... always have been, forgive me! and thank you in advance for your continued assistance!

Gmail accounts added to iphone. only one account will work.

I have a new iphone5. I have 2 gmail accounts. I can only add one account but it will not accept my other account either by itself or with the other account. the second account that won't be accepted is protected by the google verification code. Any ideas?

Have you visited Google's website regarding how to create and access a 2nd Gmail account with an iOS device that is protected by the Google verification code?

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

I have 2 iCloud accounts. Can I delete one account so I can make use of additional space I purchased for the secondary account? Also iPhoto seems to only connect to the primary account? How do I send files to the secondary account?

Both accounts are completely independent from each other. In order to use the space that you have purchased for your secondary account, you must change it to become your primary account. Yes, as you said, services like photo stream only work with the primary account. Unfortunately, there is no comfortable way to just transfer data from one account to another one, but you can do it via a third party application e.g. via Dropbox: e.g. for photos: photos stored with your current primary account > manual transfer to dropbox > after you made your secondary account to the primary account, transfer the photos back to your new primary account etc.

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same fam

Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.

HT3819 Does the itunes account need to be the one who made the purchase?

When using an account for Home Sharing does that account need to be the one that the content was purchased on? Reason I ask is I have my account and my kids each have their own. If I give them my username and password they essentially can purchase anything they want on my account. I trust the older but the youngest will purchase with no reservations.

Mac, have just upgraded to Yosemite and when I shall open Photoshop (CS4), the following message appears: "The licensing of the product does not work" Fault 6 How should I proceed? Have the program installed on only one computer.

Mac, have just upgraded to Yosemite and when I shall open Photoshop (CS4), the following message appears:
"The licensing of the product does not work"
Fault 6
How should I proceed?
Have the program installed on only one computer.

Download the Adobe Licensing Repair Tool.
Run the License Service Update.
Mac OS X 10.7 and above:
a. Double-click the LicenseRecovery111.dmg It will extract the folder. Open the folder.
b. Double-click your Hard Drive.
c. Double-click Applications.
d. Double-click Utilities.
e. Double-click Terminal.
f. Type sudo python
Note: There is a space following “python”. Do not press Return.
g. Drag LicenseRecover.py from the LicenseRecovery111 folder onto the Terminal Window and press Return.
It should look like this:
h. Enter your administrator user name and password when prompted and click OK.
(Note: the cursor will not move and you will not see stars or dots, just enter your password anyway.
i. Let the script run, it will tell you when it is finished. Quit terminal and restart Photoshop

I've already purchased iMovie 9.0.6 on my computer, but i can't upgrade it. it said there is available update on another account, but i just got one account on my computer...

Updates:
I found why the original backup file is not showing on iTunes. Becuase it is corrupted.
All other folders contains Infor.plist, Manifest.mbdb, Manifest.plist and Status plist files.
But the folder that contains origianal backup files does not have those files above.
I think the only way I can restore the data is using third party extracting software.
Do you know anything about that kind of software?

Okay to have only one account ?

greetings !
is it okay to run my Mac with only an admin account on it ?
any suggestions welcome.

@ everyone: thanks SO much for taking the time during the holidays to read and reply to my post.
so, what Y'all saying is "ignore what Kiraly wrote" ?

It's on page 62 of the Leopard Security Configuration manual:
Unless you need administrator access for specific system maintenance tasks that
cannot be accomplished by authenticating with the administrator’s account while
logged in as a normal user, always log in as a nonadministrator user. Log out of the
administrator account when you are not using the computer as an administrator. Never
browse the web or check email while logged in to an administrator’s account. (emphasis added)
If you are logged in as an administrator, you are granted privileges and abilities that
you might not need. For example, you can potentially modify system preferences
without being required to authenticate. This authentication bypasses a security
safeguard that prevents malicious or accidental modification of system preferences.
Each user needing administrator access should have an administrator account in
addition to a standard or managed account.
Administrator users should only use their administrator accounts for administrator
purposes. By requiring an administrator to have a personal account for typical use
and an administrator account for administrator purposes, you reduce the risk of an
administrator performing actions like accidentally reconfiguring secure system
preferences.
When logged in to an admin account, every program you open, every process that runs, runs with administrator privileges. The checks and balances that lock down system areas like /Applications and /Library from accidental or malicious modification are bypassed when one is logged in as an administrator. This is an unnecessary security risk. These areas are handed over on a silver platter to an exploit if one is logged in as an administrator. Your e-mail program or web browser does not need to have write access to these system areas for you to browse the web or read your e-mail.

I was setting up my Airport and thought the first set up did not go through, so I set up again and I ended up with two accounts instead of one. How can I manage to have only one account now? Thanks for the help.

me.com accounts can be used for iCloud. See the FAQ section in:
<http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895>
but it may be too late if you have already created a new AppleID.
A few years ago Apple said they were working on allowing account merging, but it never happened (maybe objections from copyright holders).

Hi, how can I as a company manage the download of apps? Can I as a company use only one account for all my employees to download the needed apps?

Hi,
we as a company consider to use the iPhone instead of the Blackberrys for business telecommunication.
I, personally, use the iPhone privatly. I have my account and download the Apps I need.
But how can a company like ours manage this? Is there a possiility to install an account for the company with one Apple-ID? Are the employees allowed to install the mandatory Apps. by using this account? Or should the company install everything centrally by MDM e.g.?
How about licensing?
Thanks in advanxce for your answers!!
Best regards

Sorry everyone...I forgot to add that I have 10.10 Yosemite installed on both drives

HT6065 I have unresolved issues with Mavericks mail. When receiving identical emails in different accounts if I open in one account it automatically appears as open in the other accounts.

I have 3 email accounts on my mac. Often more than one account will receive the same email. If I open the email on any one account it appears as opened on each account that received the identical email. This problem only began with the installation of Mavericks. I have contacted Apple phone support and removed each account and then added them again. The problem persists. I have talked with several other friends who have the same complaint. This is particularly annoying as these accounts have different users. Is there a fix? Thanks.

You can look at one of these if you want to sign on with different identities at the same time:

I have three email accounts on my iPhone. one account is now constantly downloading old emails as unread. I am know into the thousands. How can I stop that

I have three email accounts on my iphone. one of the accounts is now constantly downloading old emails and marking them as unread. I can I stop this from happening?

iPhone mirrors the content of your accounts. You can turn off that account by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > account > turn off mail. Then access your email account via webmail/website and delete them there. Once you turn on the account again in your iPhone it wont download them all. Otherwise to leave it downloading then mark them all read once downloaded.

HT1206 I have a computer with 2 users and each of us have I tunes authorized but only one of us can cloud sync our purchases what can I do I need more than one ID available

Help please I need to have more than one Itunes Id

Well you need to understand the behavior of h-reap or what it's called now, FlexConnect. In this mode, the clients are still remembers on the WLC until the session timer/idle timer expires. So switching between SSID's in h-reap will not be the same when switching when the AP's are in local mode.
Take a look at the client when connected in FlexConnect in the WLC GUI monitor tab. Thus will show you what ssid and vlan the client is on. Now switch to a different ssid and compare this. It's probably the same because the client has not timed out. Now go back to the other ssid and look again. Now on the WLC, remove or delete the client and then switch to the other ssid at the same time. Or switch SSID's and then remove the client. The client will join the new ssid and in the monitor tab, you should see the info.
There is no need to have clients have multiple SSID's unless your testing. Devices should only have one ssid profile configured to eliminate any connectivity issues from the device wanting to switch SSID's.
