How do I authorize a surface to use my Itunes account?

I cant't find a link for authorizing new devices

Surface Pro or Surface RT? iTunes only runs on the former. Press Alt or Ctrl+B to show the menu bar, authorization is done via the Store menu.

How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?

How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?

SeanB15 wrote:
Here are more details on my situation which should help clarify things...
I purchased three iPhone 4 models back when they first came out (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library. The problem is (as I understand it) that I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct without wiping out the separate contact lists, etc. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates and still be able to manage separate contact lists, etc. If I go this route, I assume we will lose all the apps on phones #2 and #3 that we have been "sharing"... correct? Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, one of you can help me??
we have 2 iphone 4's synced to the same itunes account for apps and music since the day we bought them, but each has a different icloud acct. they have both been updated on the same itunes account with every update that has come out since we bought them in december of 2010. nothing on either phone has ever been lost or duplicated. having said all that, maybe i'm missing something here, but we have had no problems. we do have itunes setup to sync manually. i do believe i'm a piker compared to lawrence finch, but i'm just telling you what happens in my house. maybe check with apple? is there a store near you?

How do I authorize another iphone to use my itunes library account

I purchased an iphone for my daughter and wish to authorize it as a user on my account. How do i do this even if she has her own apple id

What exactly are you wanting to do ? You only need to authorise your account on a computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer menu option), iOS devices aren't authorised.
If you/she will want to redownload some of your purchases on her phone (or the computer's iTunes that it will be synced to) then that might tie her phone (or computer) to your account for 90 days : iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID

How can I create additional IDs but use one iTunes account on multiple devices to purchase music?

Is it possible to have a "family" iTunes account that we all share but have a different Apple ID for 2 daughter's iPods and a different Apple ID for mom's iPhone?

Only iTunes running on a computer can be authorized to use more than one Apple ID. I don't know what the limit is if there is one.
iOS devices* can only be configured to use one Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store. (However, a separate Apple ID can be used for iCloud services like mail, calendar, contacts etc., but that is a separate issue.)
Home Sharing can only be configured to use one Apple ID at a time so if you want to use Home Sharing to connect an iOS device to an iTunes library or to connect multiple computers to an iTunes library you can only do it with one Apple ID.
So, with all that in mind, yes you can create separate Apple IDs for everyone but it will affect what you can do with the apps and media you purchase from iTunes. If everyone shares a family account then there will be no restriction on who can play, install or share the media or apps. If you create separate accounts there will be restrictions on what can be shared or installed on the various devices.
A family will benefit from sharing a family account that everyone has access to. If you have parental concerns about restricting access to certain apps/media for younger children than a separate account shared by the children may be the answer.
*iOS devices are iPod Touchs, iPads, iPhones and Apple TVs.

How do i find out who is using my iTunes account?

I have multiple Apple TV's in multiple locations all on my account. I have recently been charged for a bunch of TV shows but i cannot figure out who is ordering them - or what location. Any ideas?

The iTunes Purchase History records what was bought, but does not have any indication of what device did the buying. You will have to find the suspects -- who, I assume, are known to you -- and ask them.

I already have an iTunes account but need to open a new one as I have many apple products but am limited to how many I can use my iTunes account on. How do I open a new one please. Thanks

Hi I already have an itunes account registered to my address and email address.
The problem is, I have many apple products but i'm limited to how many products I can use one itunes account for.
How do I open a new itunes account for the same address please.
Thanks for your help.
Sam

Well, you can probably do it, but then you also have to buy the products again to use them from the other account since they cannot be transferred or shared between accounts. So if you have 7 computers and want the same movie authorized on all of them, you'll have to buy the movie twice and then authorize some devices on one account and others on the other.
Do you really have >5 devices, or is it just that you have a lot of devices authorized that no longer exist but are tying up authorization slots? If that's the case, you can deauthorize things.

I have no idea how to do multiple accounts but you may need to create a new e-mail address (plenty of free ones out there).

Hi Michael1296,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps to authorize a computer in iTunes:
How do I authorize a computer?
Open iTunes on the computer you want to authorize.
Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
You might need to show the menu barto see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
If your Apple ID uses an expired MobileMe account, you can still use it to authorize your computer.
If iTunes asks you to authorize your computer again, it won't use a new authorization. iTunes uses the same authorization for the same computer.
You can find these steps and more information at this link:
Authorize your computer using iTunes
All the best,
Jeremy

HT1420 I do not have the computers that were Authorized. How do I authorize my current computers to run iTunes?

Go back to the article you asked this question from, use the Deauthorize All function or the link to contact the iTunes Store staff, and then authorize computers as needed.

How do I "Authorize" my Windows Laptop to play Itunes movies?

I have a Windows 7 Laptop. I just finished downloading ITunes to my laptop. My wife has an IPad with ITunes on it. How do I "Authorize" my Laptop to play her ITune movies on my Laptop?

In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.

HT204053 The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now?

The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now? Or should we? 5 macbooks, 2 ipads, 4 iphones, 2 itouch, 2 imacs. How does one decide what to sync, share and what not to? Green Jeans.

You need to start by understanding the distinction between iTunes and iCloud - Apple confuse the issue by referring to 'iTunes Match' as part of iCloud. It isn't.
You don't have to have the same login (Apple ID) for iTunes and iCloud; many people don't and there's no problem about it.
Your iCloud ID gets you email, calendars, contacts, iWork documents and PhotoStream syncing between devices.
Your iTunes ID gets you the iTunes Store, the App Store for iOS, the Mac App Store for OSX,, 'iTunes in the Cloud' (downloading of purchased items to any logged-in device) and 'iTunes Match' (uploading of songs not purchased in the iTunes Store).
Your family members can easily each get their own iCloud account to keep email etc. separate - in each case they will need a different non-Apple email address (a free one from Yahoo etc. would do) to set up the ID. If they are sharing a Mac they need to be using a separate user account.
They can have their own iCloud accounts and still all sign into the same iTunes account: or they can open their own iTunes accounts using their new iCloud Apple IDs.
BUT they cannot transfer items purchased under the present iTunes ID to different iTunes IDs.

How do i use my itunes account on another device?

My phone was recently stolen so I borrowed an old 3G from a friend to use until the new iPhone launches. How can I download apps, etc. using my iTunes account on my friend's old device?

If your friend's account is still logged in on it then tap on it in Settings > Store and log out of it and then log in with your account. You can then re-download your apps via the Purchased tab at the bottom of the App Store app (though you may be limited as to which apps you can re-download depending upon what iOS version the phone is on and the app's minimum requirements), and also ibooks and (depending upon which country that you are in) potentially music and tv shows/films : re-downloading.
