How many apple ids can I have on one icloud account

I have one apple ID. My iphone is linked to this apple ID and so is our Ipad. The ipad gets all of my mail, but also gets all of my text messages. This is not the greatest situation. When my husband got his work iphone, he was told to use my apple id so he would have access to all of my music and purchased items. That really messed things up because he was getting all of my mail and suddenly all of our contacts were shared. Not good!
We are now trying to set up a new ipod touch for one of the kids. Don't want the same situation as above. I want this to have a separate identity but still be on our account so it can share all of my apple purchases.
What is the best way to do this? I briefly talked to someone at the apple store a few months back and he said that you can have multiple apple ids on one account. Anyone have any tips on setting these up? Want to avoid any unnecessary newbie mistakes.

You can't have multiple IDs on one account, but you can use multiple IDs for different purposes on the same device.
Just use the one AppleID for iTunes and the AppStore so you can all share your music and app purchases. Then each person should have their own individual AppleID with associated iCloud account for mail, contacts, calendars, iMessage and FaceTime.
You don't have to use the same AppleID for all services.

How many Apple TVs can you have on one iTunes account?

Just wondering how many Apple Tvs I can put on my iTunes account. Already have one in the living room and I was looking to put one more in the bedroom.

That would be fine.

I'm a school tech coordinator. Many computers and many iPads. How many Apple IDs can I have per device, and how many devices can have the same Apple ID? To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

I'm a school tech coordinator. I have many computers and many iPads. I apologize if there is a some place that has all the rules governing the use of Apple IDs. I looked, and I even tried to get the answers from multiple Apple rep's. I couldn't find the answers.
How many Apple IDs can I have per device?
I want to use the same computer to sync and backup many iOS devices. The iOS devices would be associated with different Apple IDs.
I may load apps under a school Apple ID and have users load their own apps under thier own ID.
How many devices can have the same Apple ID?
Can I use the same Apple ID on all the computers in a lab?
Can I use the same Apple ID on all iPads for a particular grade level?
Are the rules different for iOS devices and computers?
I know that there are limits on "authorize" and "de-authorize" and how frequently those things can be done.
Recently I heard that for the life of an iOS device, it can only be associated with five Apple IDs. That is not good for a school giving iPads to students in a 1:1

It would be best to address your questions there, especially since this is a public forum, and over there you could post more private issues with this set-up. Not to mention, getting more official answers.

How many apple TVs can you have on one network 5, 10, 15, infinite?

I have an application where there are many rooms and I would like to be able to use Airplay in each room, can I buy 10 or more Apple TV units and put them all over my house on my wireless network and be able to airplay to any one of them? What is the limit of Apple TVs that I can have in one area. Has anyone tried this? How many have you maxed out at? What is the limitation?

There is no specified limitation but you will encounter a practical one. It will be a function of the numerous and generally unpredictable variables that affect any wireless network.
Ten Apple TVs is certainly within the realm of possibility though. This post reports success with fifteen of them.

Bryan,
According to iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID:
"Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days."

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.

HT5622 How many family members, computers, iPods,iPad,IDs can you have on one iTunes account?

I'm just trying to sort out some iTunes I'd issues. Does anyone know how many total iPad iPods can be used with one Apple ID? Or how many apple IDs your can have with one iTunes account? Or does each person need there own Apple ID or Apple account? Thanks

Mistype. You can't delete an Apple ID.

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.

How many apple tvs can i run at once

i want to set up a trade show booth with apple tvs and a mac mini. how many apple tvs can i run off a mac mini? i want to run different slideshows.

Frank Caggiano wrote:
Pretty sure that one device (the mini) will only be able to interact with one Apple TV. At best you might be abel to connect to multiple ATVs but they would all run the same content. (and I have my doubts about that)
You can use the mini and multiple Apple TV's to watch different content, indeed you can only watch different content although you can listen to the same content. For the avoidance of doubt different includes the same content but not in sync.

HT3291 how many apple tv can access shared computer

How many Apple tv Can Access one shared computer

Depends on your network connection. If you are going to do more than one you DEFINETLY need to use a wired, not wireless, connection. You can do a couple easily this way. There are some people that have posed on here that use 10 or more but that is pretty extreme and your computer would need a pretty heavy IO bus to handle that.
