How do I verify my laptop to use the same Apple ID that I use on my iPod in order to update an application?

I'm trying to update an application on my laptop that I have also downloaded on my iPod, but for some reason every time I try to sign in to update, it claims my device has not been verified. Any ideas on what I could do?

go to settings>itunes and app store - if you are signed in then tap the id and sign out - try to sign back in and see if it gives you a particular error

How can i find my lose iphone with the same apple id i use now

how can i find my lose iphone with the same apple id i use now

If you set it up on your iPhone before you lost it then you can sign into your iCloud account on a computer and attempt to locate it.

How many iPhones & iPads can I run from the same Apple ID

My family now have 2 iPhones 2 iPads & an iTouch - I only have 1 apple ID and up until now have linked all the devices to this ID but now the iMessage & Facetime are all linked together so when I text my wife it also comes up in my sons iPad mini & all the other devices. Can I run more than 1 device from the same Apple ID?

Obviously you can. I don't think that's what you meant to ask... Would you care to clarify?
The maximum number of iDevices that can use a single Apple ID is 10, by the way.

HT2693 How to download pictures from multiple iPhones with the same Apple ID?

I have multiple iPhones (e.g. iPhone 4S, iPhone 5) registered under the same Apple ID however i only manage to download the pictures in my iPhone 5 via iCloud.
How do I retrieve the remaining photos that was uploaded to iCloud previously from my older iPhones with the same Apple ID?
Pls help!!!

Hi edristiew,
Are the photos that you are referring to still in Photo Stream? Remember, Photo Stream has limits which are outlined in this article:
iCloud: Photo Stream limits
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858
If the photos are still stored in Photo Stream, this resource may answer your questions about how to extract them (Mac or PC):

If the photos are no longer in Photo Stream, but are in your camera roll, you can import them to your computer:

How do I merge different music libraries on the same computer. I have Iphone and an ipod

I have an Iphone and my wife has ipod nano. We both have different music libraries. Itunes on my mac doesnot allow the merging of libraries. Is there a way of doing so without lossing the music

You can have identical libraries (contents, playlists and related information) if you set each user's account to reference the same .itl file.
Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base for details on how to do so.
By using the Choose Library option and linking the accounts to the same .itl file, the libraries will be the same and changes made to one will be reflected in the others.
If you don't want completely identical Libraries but just access to the same files to build separate Libraries with, see this article .

How do I unsynch devices ( iphones, ipads) under the same apple ID account?

After the software update I started receiving my husband's text message.

You can use separate AppleIDs for iCloud, iMessage and iTunes - you just need to create unique AppleIDs for the iCloud accounts if syncing contacts that way (you will need an email address that is not already registered as an AppleID though to get another AppleID).
Apps are a different matter in that purchases are tied to the AppleID used to log in to the store to make the purchase. So you can create another AppleID for iTunes as well and use different ones on the different phones, but any apps you have already purchased with your existing AppleID are permanently tied to that AppleID.
Really, unless you are sharing apps, content and such, there is no reason to use the same AppleID on each anyway. So the simplest solution is to create new AppleID(s) for the second device. If you need an email address to do that, just get a gmail account (or hotmail, yahoo or any other free email account).

How to share apps on 2 Macs with the same Apple ID ?

Hi,
I got a new iMac (2013 - Mavericks), and I gave my old one (2010 - Lion) to my husband. I've downloaded some new games on the Apple Store with my Apple ID for my new Mac, and it works fine. But when my husband wants to install them on his Mac, when he types the password for my Apple ID, it doesn't work, it says "wrong user/password"...
It seems that once I've activated my Apple ID on my new Mac, it prevented the old one to use it ?? The Home Sharing is turned on, but apparently it only concerns iTunes (music, etc), but not the NEW apps from the App Store. Everything new on my Mac can't be shared with the old Mac.
What can I do ? We don't want to create a new Apple ID for my husband, because we don't want to lose what there is already on his old Mac (we use the same music, games, apps, etc).
Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If we means 2, then you are best keeping seperate accounts. What you need to do is share photo stream albums with the other.

HT204053 Can my children and I use the same apple ID with different iPhone iPad and iPod ?

I am having trouble with my new iPhone 5 address book and some updates on the apps store
There's some old apple ID that is showing up. I don't even remember this email address
What can I do to adjust all this
Thanks

You can certainly use the same ID for an itunes store account to share purchased items. However for icloud, it's designed so that each account pertains to one user for each of his/her devices. The main purpose of icloud is syncing and backups of iOS devices. Do you really want to have the same email account, same contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc? Usually a couple needs to have separate icloud accounts. They can share calenders if they want.
The danger of two users using one account is if one user edits or deletes (on purpose or accidentally) data, that will propagate to the other user's devices.

How can i set up different IDs under the same account so that each of my children can use itunes cards but not access or share each others

i have 3 ipods one for each child.. i need to set it up so that each have access to my account but individually so that they cannot use each others itunes money

Hi Felicia,
Are you wanting them to have access to your account so they can purchase items using your credit card? Or do you want them "sharing" your account for some other reason?

How do I verify my T510 actually has the solid state drive that I ordered?

My machine sometimes makes a loud noise like a hard drive going nuts when it is moving alot of data (as I move data from my old machine to this one). I ordered it with a solid state drive but wonder if a regular hard drive was put in the machine by mistake. I checked Windows system information on the disks and it says I have a "fixed hard disc". I am not familiar with Windows 7 and wonder if it might say that even if it is a SSD.
Thanks

How to use multiple iPods with one computer

How do i deregister my MacBook Pro from the current apple ID that it is connected to?

I just got a new MacBook Pro laptop and i unintentionally registered it with an apple ID which i dont wish it to be registered to. How could i "deregister" from the apple ID I am currently connected to? Anything helps, thanks!

zitzerman,
you’d need to boot into Recovery mode by holding down ⌘R as your MacBook Pro starts up. When the OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. Run Disk Utility to completely erase your internal disk; after it’s been erased, exit Disk Utility and select Shut Down from the Apple menu. When you restart it, OS X Internet Recovery will redownload your MacBook Pro’s original version of OS X from Apple’s servers, and then install it. When you run it, the welcome video will play; reïnitialize it to your liking, associating it with your preferred Apple ID. When you log in, run Software Update to get it up to date in its installed version of OS X.

HT204053 how do i set up different devices on the same apple Id without merging the contacts from the separate phones

can i set up multiple iphones on the cloud without merging all contacts?

Not if they are all syncing contacts with the shared account. You could allow them to merge, then create separate groups for each person's contacts on icloud.com. Then each person can adjust their settings to only show the group that their contacts belong to and hide the rest.
Another option is to keep the devices on the same shared primary account, and add different secondary account to each person's devices by going to Setings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter a separate ID. Then each person can turn on contacts syncing in their secondary account and leave contacts syncing turned off in the shared primary account (in Settings>iCloud).
