Have 8 devices I need to add to itunes account
We have 3 iphones, 2 ipod touch, 2 computers and 1 iPad that we need on our itunes account. With the default of 5, do we need to set up another account with the same billing info to accommodate these devices? ALSO, if I set up a new account on a computer that has itunes on it, will I be able to access the music currently in the itunes library? In other words, share the library from the old account with the possible new account?
There is no default of 5 devices.
Why do you think this?
There is a limit of COMPUTERS that you can authorize for one itunes account. This has nothing to do with ipod/iphone/ipad or Apple TV

Can I have 4 idevices in my family share an iTunes account but have separate apple IDs for iCloud and FaceTime ?
Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son. -
Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP
It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet -
I have some music on my ipod that I want to put in iTunes so I can listen it it on my iPad. The two devices share an Apple ID and iTunes account. So I do I get the music from the ipod to the iTunes account?
This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

Commercial software utility for transferring songs from i-device to Mac - http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - just media purchased from iTunes Store
You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that. iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match. -
My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?
My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?
There is no reason to add a second iTunes account to the iPad unless your sons want to use their own credit cards for purchases and somehow I don't think is the case here.
Anyway.... Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap that ID and sign out. Then tap sign in and tap Create new Apple ID.
If your sons sync with one iTunes library on a computer, it can get a little confusing with two IDs. If either of them has their own iPod and they have been sharing purchased content with the one Apple ID, it gets a little more complicated as well with two IDs. -

Unless you have DRM still haunting your tunes ... Then you can only use those songs on 5 devices. Otherwise, connect as many as you like (as stated above).
No, you can sync your DRM tracks to an unlimited number of iPods (but only authorized to play on 5 different computers/user accounts)

So I can sync two iPods to my iTunes account and sync the same digital copy movies that come with some o' my DVDs to both ipods? Do movies make a difference really, DRM-Wise? Thanks in advance. -
i have just put a £50 voucher onto my itunes account but when i have went to rent a movie on apple tv it says i have to verify the voucher does anyone no what to do please
Hey there Kenspendiff,
It sounds like you added credit to your iTunes Store account but in iTunes Store on the Apple TV you are being prompted for a verification. I would start by double checking that the gift has been redeemed to your account with this article either on your computer or iOS device:
iTunes Store: iTunes Gift balances
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5035
If so, then Restart the Apple TV:
Apple TV: How to restart your Apple TV
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3180
Restart your Apple TV by selecting Settings > General > Restart.
If the issue persists, would you mind elaborating what the message says word for word?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I need to create a iTunes account using my work email but...
I need to create a iTunes account using my work email address but when I try it says that there is already an iTunes account linked to my work email - I have never done this so I know that I have not created this and therefore can't answer the security questions in order to check it out. It also means I can't set up this iTunes account - any ideas?
When Apple increased security on the accounts we were asked to create security questions and answers and to offer a rescue email address, could you have used the work address then?

HT1918 hi i need to change my itunes account to another country
hi i need to change my itunes account to another country
Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support. -
I have 2 iphones 4s's, ones my wife and one is mine. we have different apple IDs, can we share one itunes account?? if so, how??
If you haven't set up your own Apple ID already don't. I suggest you use the same apple ID as your wife's. The alternative is to do this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848. It's not efficient as you have to swap apple id's to update apps under both IDs. 20/20 being hindsight, I would have never created a 2nd apple ID for my wife.
Hope this helps. -
Have been told if you use the same itunes account on two iphones, you will receive each others text messages, is this true?
you can use the same itunes id for purchases and so on, but have separate icloud id's for imessaging and all the icloud stuff. it's not preferable, but it isn't a problem either.
