How many Apple devices can connect to one account? If I get 2 iPads for my home can they get apps under the same account or different accounts?

I am wanting to purchase an iPad for myself and kids but I am wondering if they need to be setup under a different Apple account or just one. What about my iPhone that is under that account? So how many devices can be linked to an account before it is maxed out?

I'm not sure what the total limit is (or if there is one), but two iPads and one iPhone is no problem - you only need one account and you can have the same apps on all three devices if you want without any issues (I have an iPad, iPhone and iPod without problems). There was a thread a few weeks ago about a newspaper app (though it could have been a magazine), where the issue could only be downloaded to one device, but that is the only time I've heard about that limit.

HT2731 can i have more than one apple id on a computer? As when we go away we want to facetime from our macpro to our main mac at home and both are registered under the same apple ID. Thanks

Can you have more than one apple id on a computer. We are going away and want to facetime from our macpro to the mac computer at home but both are registered under the same apple ID. What should we do ?

I will share with you what I have done to manage this with my family. While the solution isn't without flawes, it seems to do the trick. First, you need to have one person who is managing the synching of everyone's devices. In my family, I have three iphones, about to be four, and five ipads. We all synch to the same apple ID to allow one another to take seemless advantage of our Itunes, which is on our Imac. To synch individual music or video interests, we simply select which playlists we want and manually synch that way. A couple of us use imatch and the cloud to make the entire library accessable as well. With respect to the imessage, mail, contacts, etc. we each have a gmail account for our individual emails, contacts etc. So for instance, my forth grade daughter has a gmail account that we choose to synch her contacts, calendar, etc to and then that is also the account where she receives her imessages from on her ipad and itouch. My son, who has an iphone and ipad, does the same thing, but under settings, he goes to imessage and checks his phone number and his email as his preferred way to receive imessages and texts. My wife and I do the same thing. To avoid having everyone see one anothers contracts etc, we only synch contacts from our individual email accounts. Here is the downfall to this: When you update your phone or add a new device, apple always wants to reset everyone's facetime and imessage settings and then low and behold we are all receiving imessages from one another's friends etc. To work around this, I simply take each of their devices and go to their imessage settings and only check the email and phone numbers relative to their devices. I dont' know is this is the best solution, but it seems to work for us.

How many Apple devices can you use on one computer?

I am using a single PC which I use to connect my IPod classic, my IPad, my IPhone and my very old Ipod (which my partner now uses) to Itunes, so that's 4 devices. In the past, on the same computer I had used another Ipod classic which only lasted for about a year.
Now my partner is considering buying an Ipod nano and we are thinking about changing the Ipad to get the latest one. So that's 6 devices in all (7 counting the IPod classic I do not have anymore).
Can I use the same ID for all of them? (I only have 4 devices really as the new IPad will replace the one we have now. Also my partner will use the same ITunes library to transfer whatever songs he wants into his new Ipod nano). But my partner is considering getting an Iphone as well!
I am worried we'll have to create a new Apple ID and a new library for his devices and I suppose this will take a lot of memory (which won't be possible on this PC as it only has about 15MG left in drive C...).
Please advise, thank you!!!

There's no limit to the number of devices you can sync with one iTunes library. For automatic downloads from the iTunes Store and iTunes Match, the limit is 10 devices, including computers, per Apple ID.

I had two game centers. One on my iPod touch and one on my iPhone. They both were under the same email but my iPhone one had more achievements. When I downloaded iOS5, the account was changed to the iPod touch account. How can I change it back?

How can I log into my old game center on my iPhone when the email address used is the same for the other?

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How can I control Read/Write for BegBalance under the same Scenario in different Years?

As we know, we can set 'Start Year/Period' and 'End Year/Period' on a scenario member, e.g. Budget, to control whether planners can input data under this scenario.
However, we can only choose years and month from Jan to Dec. BegBalance can't be chosen.
Assuming a form putting Year dimension as a page, Scenario and BegBalance, Jan to Dec as column, Account as row.
If planner chooses budget year in the page, every column from BegBalance to Dec is writable.
The problem is, when planner chooses current year in the page, Jan to Dec is read-only, but BegBalance is still writable.
This will make the planner confusion and put the data in a dangerous position.
Is there any idea to avoid this situation?
Thanks.

You can disable (write) BegBalance for that Scenario by unchecking "Include BegBalance".

With iOS 8's family sharing, will family members be able to share apps that they previously purchased with different credit cards with one another for free (given that they will all use the same credit card once iOS 8 comes out)?

Question 1: In my family of 4, we currently have different Apple ID's and we all use different credit cards to purchase our apps and media. When iOS 8 is released, if we agree to share the same credit card, will we be able to access apps that a family member purchased with their own credit card prior to iOS 8's release? To clarify, under iOS 7, Member 1 has purchased Apps A and B with his credit card. Under iOS 8, if Members 1, 2, 3, 4 decide to use Member 4's credit card, will Members 2, 3, 4 be able to access Apps A and B?
Question 2: If we all decide to use the same credit card now, once iOS 8 is released, will family members have access to the apps/media purchased by the fourth family member?

You can read everything that is known about ios 8 on Apples website.
There is no way for anyone to know any more than that.

How many apple devices can you sync to the same itunes account

I'm trying to sync 2 ipod touches with my itunes account along with my iphone. On one ipod, when I try to sync up it ghosts out my sync apps. I can purchase apps and they appear in my library but can transfer to ipod. Help!

This is a very odd problem, because it should connect to as many as you want. The problem could be a few things so check these and get back to me
see if iTunes is set to sync apps to that iPod
make sure the iPods are sighed into your apple account
make sure your computer is registered to your apple account
if none of these work, give some more information, the more the better when trouble shooting.

Are you having a problem with something?

i want to use firefox to login a website ,in the same window and different tags can user the same session
but when i open other window and login the same website use different account .
how can i achieve it ? thinks

Your problem has nothing to do with the faults or limitations of a web browser.
''There can be only ONE active user logged in on a specific website during a whole Browsing Session. Even if you try to log-in using a new window it will sign-out the earlier User ID from that website. It will keep the most recent logged-in User ID active.''
This is the general policy on which all websites are built. Even if you try to login the same website from another web browser, you won't be able to login from the second platform either. I just check it. Tried on Mozilla and Internet Explorer.

How many apple tv can I connect with one account?

how many apple tv can I connect with one account?

there are 2 recent posts that suggest issues over 5, one where someone was trying to troubleshoot for a friend or client as they couldn't keep more than 5 connected, and the other where somone had more than 5 but was using 2 separate itunes libraries to share the load - not sure if that was with the same or differing AppleIDs.
I guess there is always the possibility that things kight vary from one itunes version to the next even unintentionally to allow more.
