How do i have one account on two computers

I am fixing to leave for college and my phone and ipod is synched onto my family desktop. I am wanting to change that too my laptop but still have all of my music using my mom's itunes account. PLEASE HELP!

The iCloud service would only work if you had a wifi connection when you are traveling. You could also use a flash drive to store your music. Same concept. I can see how a big hard drive would get a bit annoying, but since your iTunes library is relatively small. You could just get a small 4GB flash drive. That would work fine too. That is your only option unless you want to transfer that data whenever you travel, which wouldnt be too big of a hassle really, right? iCloud requires a Network connection to work.

Copy them to a cd/dvd/flash drive/external drive/etc, then to the other computer.
E-mail them.

Using one account on two computers

Howdy! I have itunes on my PC Tower. I just bought a MacBook Pro and wanted to buy a song, but "it said no" .... I have to create an account first. My ID/Password did not work. Can I just have one ID for both computers?

You may need to 'authorize' your new computer under the Store menu from w/in iTunes. Keep in mind that your iPod (if you use one) will only sync with one computer--not both. Also, the songs you buy on one computer will not automatically show up on the other--you will need to transfer them yourself (burn a CD, copy files, etc.)

Multiple devices, best to have one account or two?

Hi
I have an iphone 5, ipad 4, ipad mini and an iPhone 4. I use the iphone 4 as a phone for my self employed work so it has to have separate contacts etc. the other three are for personal use so I don't mind them all being on one account. Is it best to set the "work" phone up on a new iTunes account? Or can I configure them in a way that not everything is shared? Such as appointments notifications etc?
Thanks for any help provided

Maybe you've answered this already and I didn't get it, but I shared an app store/iTunes account with my boyfriend since I owned any I product and we are broken up now but tied together by this account. We use the account under his Apple ID without realizing the consequences but we both contributed financially quite a large sum of money over the years and now we don't know how to separate the account so that we no longer need to communicate. It wouldn't be such a big issue separating the financial part but the problem is that people suck and are immature and think changing the password on each other is acceptable when it is in fact not. I currently have control of the account and password out of necessity but it is not how I want things. Maybe you can tell that I'm talking about the other party when I talk about the password changer and childish tantrum thrower. Let's call him "John Doe". I'm not perfect either granted, not that that has anything to do with this. The point is this...Just be warned people that there are consequences for opening a joint iTunes account under one person's personal Apple ID. 8 to 10 years ago though, did anyone really know this stuff? Especially us tech challenged who are basically poking at things with sticks. We totally poked the wrong thing. Does anyone know how we can separate this and ourselves peacefully and without losing anything? Personally it seems to me that Apple should be able to duplicate an account and allow one person to open it under their own ID in such a case but so far that doesn't seem to be possible.

One account using two computers

I know there have been a few posts about this. But I can't seem to find a straight answer. Keeps talking about a PC and a Mac.
I have two macs, one at work and one at home.
1. When I come home, I want to work on my home computer. Do I have to make sure all the programs are closed on my work computer, to use Creative Cloud at home?
2. Im thinking about getting a new computer in a few months, can I easily then deactive my old computer and install the cloud on my new machine?

Question # 1 answer:
You do not have to make sure the programs are closed on the work computer. The license agreement is that you will not use the software on two computers at the same time.
Question # 2 answer:
As Amit has answered above. You have two activations. When you try to activate on a third computer you will be asked about deactivating on the others.

Merging mail from one account on two computers

I have mail up until December 2007 on my Mac Mini and mail from December 1 to present on my Powerbook. I want to get all my mail until now onto just one computer.
Can anyone tell me the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance
MK

See Mail | Help and in the search box, type "importing email into Mail"
Mail Help doesn't say so, but I would be sure to make a copy of your /Users/mk/Library/Mail before starting, just in case something terrible were to happen. Single-click on that folder then control-click on it and select "Make Archive".
Find a firewire cable and connect the two computers together via firewire. On the one from which you want to import mail, reboot it while holding down the "T" key -- let up once you see the big firewire symbol on a blue screen. An icon of that computer should now show up on the desktop of the computer to which you want to import its mail. Then follow the instructions in Mail Help.
I don't know if "import Mail" creates new mail folders or not when you do this. But whatever, if it does, once the messages have been imported, you can drag them to whatever mailbox is appropriate then delete the newly created imported mail folders once they are empty.
If something goes terribly wrong (like the import operation overwrites your existing messages or something ugly like that), just drag the /Users/mk/Library/Mail folder to the Trash and doubleclick on the /Users/mk/Library/Archive.zip that was created when you made the archive of your Mail folder three paragraphs ago. Then you'll be back to where you started.

How do I network one scanner between two computers...

HELP!
How do I add a USB scanner to my network? It should be as easy as adding a printer since my printers also connect to the USB hub.
I have a Powermac G-4 and G-5 networked via ethernet. My scanner is connected to a USB hub and works from either computer. The problem is that the USB hub has to be plugged into the computer accessing the scanner.
Can anyone help me with this? There must be a way to add an external device connected to a USB hub.
(The scanners I have are the Epson Perfection 2580 & 3170)
Thanks,
Bruce

Hi, and a Warm Welcome to the Power Mac G5 Forum!
If you open Applications > Image Capture - you should be able to set up scanner sharing in Preferences > Sharing. There are further details in Image Capture > Help - and here

How to use ONE IPod on TWO Computers

I have an Desktop-PC using ITunes 5.0 and an IPod 20 GB. When I connect my IPod with my Laptop, the complete IPod is deleting by the ITunes on the Laptop. How can I use ONE IPod on TWO Computers without deleting the music hole time?!

I think you need to manually update on at least the computer that has the smaller music selection.
it may be best to turn off automatic updates on both machines and manually add and delete songs.
or you could network both computers to share one music library

How can I have one "family" Apple ID and two icloud accounts one for me and one for the wife?

MacVirgin!Just got new Air and iMac (iphones on the way). How can I have one Apple ID but two iCloud accounts (one for me and one for my wife)? I have set up one iCloud account and am attempting to share contacts between iMac, iCloud and Air, however iMac and iCloud are not in sync? I must be missing something very simple.

ok. I set up the imac and Air with one user account. this was used to activae iCloud on both machines and I have now se up one iCloud account and managed to share calander and contacts between the two. Ultimately both me and my wife will have an iphone and we wish to share calenders and contacts. We both also use the imac and air on one user account. It looks like I need to set another user account then activate iCloud in my wifes Apple ID

Is it possible that you are using the same password for the old O2 Study and newer O2 Apple Base Station networks?
If so, Keychain Access is storing the old information about the old network and may be associating it with your AirPort Extreme settings based on the BSSID that William has mentioned.
If that's the case, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access and look for a listing with the old network name. Delete this entry. You may need to power down both the computer and the AirPort Extreme and restart them.

HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account. An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state). If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

Could it be a new work firewall associated with the upgrades? How can I resolve this?

I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs. Can I merge them into one account under one ID?

I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs. Can I merge them into one account under one ID? I have purchased music and video in both.

No, it is not possible to merge accounts. Choose one as the primary account and keep a local backup of all purchases so you don't get into the mess where you encounter a 90 day freeze on re-downloading past purchases from multiple accounts.
