How do I authorise computers and iPads to use iTunes related purchases

how do I authorise computers and iPads to use iTunes related purchases

You can authorise up to 5 computers via iTunes by signing in with your ID.
On iPads you enter your iTunes/AppStore store ID in Settings if it's not configured or different to your iCloud ID (if you have one).  These do not count as computer authorisations.

    Hi Divine Inspiration,
    You wouldn't connect the iPod to the iPad for data transfers. Music is stored and shared either through a computer or iCloud.
    This article gives an overview of moving music and data off the iPad.

  • How to connect my iPhone and iPad to Apple TV

    How to connect my iPhone and iPad to Apple TV

    Connect the iPad and Apple TV to the same WiFi network. Double Tab the home button on the iPad and then swipe your recently used apps from left to right until you see the mirroring icon which looks like a retangle with an up arrow. Tab that icon until you see the Apple TV. Tab Apple TV and slide the slider to the ON position. You should now see your iPad screen on the TV the Apple TV is connected to.

  • How can I sync my new iPad with my itunes account on my 4 yr old macbook? I plugged the iPad in once and all music synced. The 2nd time it said update needed. Mac says no update available.

    " how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
    You cannot.  Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
    it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
    Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

  • HT5295 How to sync between iPhone and iPad?

    How to sync between iPhone and iPad at Podcasts app?

    Please elaborate - share what?
    Just guessing here...
    Any sharing is probably a result of being logged in with the same Apple ID on both devices.
    For apps/music: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads OFF.
    For iCloud: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account.
    For iMessage: Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

  • I have an ipad and forgot the password. I tried to many times and it disabled on me. How do I get back into my ipad without using iTunes and without losing all my saved items.

    I have an ipad 2 WiFi. I was in the hospital having surgery and forgot my password. I tried several times but couldn't get it. I ended up disabling my ipad. There are important pics n notes in there that I need. How can I get back into it without using iTunes (because I bought it second hand, off ebay) and without losing all my saved items. Please help me!

    If it's disabled then it's too late to copy any content off it or to take a new backup, you will have to reset it back to factory defaults by connecting it to a computer's iTunes : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    Have you been backing up to the cloud ? If you have then after resetting it back to factory defaults you can restore to that backup : Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    If you bought it second hand then had the previous user removed their account from Settings > iCloud (and had Find My iPad enabled) on it ? If not and the iPad is on iOS 7+ then you will have to contact the previous owner to reactivate the iPad after resetting it : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support

    That will depend on the eReader app you are using.
    It may be hidden away under the iPad setting in the part for the eReader app,
    or may be somewhere on the eReader app itself.

  • How can I completely get my iPhone and iPad disconnected from iTunes Match? I don't usually have Cloud access and find iTunes Match to be very annoying.

    How can I completely get my iPhone and iPad disconnected from iTunes Match? I don't usually have Cloud access and find iTunes Match to be very annoying.

    Csoud1 is correct. But if you still want to keep your iTunes Match subscribed and did not want to sync with your iOS devices, do the following:
    On you iOS devices, just go to Setting > Music > disable iTunes Match

  • I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, but my husband has his own itunes acct, how can he use the main itunes library and get out music on his phone also

    I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, unfortunately my husband has his own itunes acct and when i change on his phone to my itunes acct it states that the email is already in use, any help on how to get the itunes match to go onto both devices, thanks

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

  • I have a iPhone and iPad on one iTunes account, I have recently bought two further I touches fir the kids , should I set them up with their own apple ids and the can I transfer purchases through all devices

    I have a iPhone and iPad on one iTunes account, I have recently bought two further I touches fir the kids , should I set them up with their own apple ids and the can I transfer purchases through all devices,

    Hi jhyiesla,
    Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
    These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
    1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
    2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
    3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
    4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
    5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
    Further,
    - You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
    - If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

  • How to download youtube videos to ipad without using a computer.

    How to download youtube videos to ipad without using a computer???  Looking to download some videos people created using Dr. Jean music.  My kid used Dr. Jean in preschool and wanted to keep singing them at home.
    Looking for a friend that doesn't use a computer.  I myself have downloaded some kids educational stuff and added to itunes and then put on ipod/ipad using firefox. 
    Is there an easy way, so they don't go to the photo roll??
    thanks in advance.

    There are some Apps you can use, but be careful they will only download these videos inside the App, so you won't ba able to play them in your video app or share them.
    Most popular is the app called "Video Download" but there are a lot of alternatives for free and even with more quality which you can pay for.

  • I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer.

    I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer. I have not been able to backup the second iPad. Is there a reason this is happening? iPad one is an iPad 1 and the second is an iPad 2 not sure if this has something to do with it. I just tried to upgrade to IOS 5 and when it went to back up it gave me an error code (-5000). I tried to back up using iTunes and it told me that my backup was corrupted and to delete it and try to back up again. When I went into the device portion where I was instructed to go to delete the backup I found that there was no backup for my iPad just the iPad 1.
    I have synced many times and all of the apps, podcasts, music, etc... show up in iTunes, and iTunes recognizes that is is the second iPad but there is not a backup for it.
    Any Ideas?

    How can I print from the iPad 2 using an Epson Artisan 810 printer.

    You said HP in your post title and Epson in your body text, but I think it is actually an Epson Artisan 810.
    If that's right, then the free Epson iPrint app should work for you - it lists your printer as one that it supports: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/epson-iprint/id326876192?mt=8

  • Authorising computers to play content from iTunes Store...

    I've recently started downloading films, tv shows and the odd album from the iTunes store. I've spent about $200 in the last while, and it's a great service. Something crossed my mind last night...
    I'm currently using my macbook pro to download content, and then I either play it on my macbook or transfer it to my apple tv. All working fine...
    Now, I've decided that I'm going to get a mac mini to use as a media server. I'm going to use it to play dvds, hook an elgato eyetv up to it to record tv, rip my dvd library, and finally I'm going to be able to free up my macbook pro from downloading content and ripping dvds. I'm then going to transfer my apple tv to the bedroom and the mac mini will take it's place in the living room.
    What crossed my mind was, when I set up this server that will make 2 computers that I will need to authorise, my girlfriend's laptop makes 3. I'm not entirely sure if the apple tv counts as one authorisation but it probably does so that makes 4. What happens when I update one of these computers...say get a new macbook pro... then in a couple of years I upgrade the mac mini and maybe get a mac pro too?? I'm going to lose all my content eventually.
    My question 2 questions are:
    1) Can I de-authorise a computer and replace it with another computer?
    or
    2) Do you think after X number of years, apple will unlock old content so that it will play on other computers?
    I hope I can de-authorise computers, otherwise I'll be stuck with these computers if I want to keep this content... I'm now seriously thinking about stopping using the iTunes store. It just seems criminal to spend so much cash on stuff that isn't going to work in a couple of years...

    Hi,
    From iTunes, click Store, then Deauthorize Computer...
    Steve Jobs did announce that they will update iTunes store such that you would have the choice of buying licensed music (i.e. restricted to authorised computers) and license less music (no restrictions).
    The snag was, you would have to pay more for license less music (but, at least you would have the choice).
    Read more about it at http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/04/02itunes.html
    Now, if you find anything that could help me update my iPod firmware, I would be most grateful....
    I hope this answers your questions...
    Regards,
