How many devices can use home sharing feature?

I have three devices on which I use iTunes (one Apple ID). Can I home share with two and sync two so that my iTunes library is complete and accessible on all three devices?

You may be confused between retrictions that apply in different areas.
You can only authorise 5 computers to use a single ID.
You can only associate 10 devices with a single ID.
Associated devices include your authorised computers, thay also include mobile devics that use iTunes Match or automatic download from the cloud.

TS4020 how many devices can use one icloud account

Is there a limit on to how many devices can use one icloud account

*GE TAG - Don't you just love how people in forums answer their own question rather than the one being asked.
Let me help those that have responded so far, and those still awaiting an answer.
An account for iCloud does also include log-ins for the iOS App Store / Mac App Store / iTunes Desktop Application , but an iCloud account on any device iOS / Mac / PC does not have to match the App Store / iTunes account which certainly has its account login limitations per device as has been pointed out.
What seems to be ommitted is if there is a limit to an iCloud account per X number of devices.
In my estimation there appears to be no limitation for iCloud accounts per device. I say this only with the experience of having my own iCloud account on a MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, iMac, Apple TV Gen2, Apple TV Gen3, iPhone 5S, and an iPad Mini Gen 1.
That is 7 separate devices. Never once have I been prompted about a limit when setting up my iCloud account (which constitues Contacts / Calendar / Notes / Reminders / Documents in the Cloud / Keychain / and Photo Stream and not purchased content through App / iTunes "stores" which do give such prompting upon authorizing your respective device for being able to use / sync said purchases)
I've really only come to this realizatoin upon thinking this through after reading this thread. I was actually searching for this answer myself until now. If I'm wrong I will welcome a rebutal with proof.

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 devices can use one iCloud account?

I'm currently working with a school that have bought 15 new iPads. I was wondering whether all of these could be set up under 1 iCloud account, or whether there was a limit to the number of devices that can be registered. The reason for asking this is the we would like to use Find My iPhone to keep track of the devices within the school, and send messages to any that are misplaced, so we can alert nearby staff to return them to us. We aren't interested in music or movies, as they will primarily be used as learning tools, so any restriction specifically on that content doesn't matter to us. The only thing that would is if there is restrictions on app usage within a single account. For example, if we download an app using the single iCloud account, and had automatic downloads switched on for all 15 iPads, would the app be able to be installed on all of those 15? Sorry if this has been a little long winded, and thanks in advance for your answers.

Right management: How many devices can share a certain piece of music when using Home Sharing?

Considering a family of 4, each of us having between 2 and 3 devices. Can all of them use music through Home Sharing or is the limit of 5 applying?
Thanks

A maximum of five computers can use Home Sharing at one time. If this limit has been reached and you want to add a new Home Share, deauthorize one or more computers by choosing Deauthorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes. For more information about authorization and deauthorization, see About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization.
Supposedly, you can use Home Sharing with as many iOS devices as you want on your network.

How many devices can I use with an AirPort Extreme Base Station?

How many devices can I use with an Airport Extreme Base Station? Devices included a mac, iphone, ipad and pc laptops.

The AirPort Extreme will support up to 50 wireless devices and 200 wired Ethernet devices. I would imagine that this would probably be adequate for most homes.

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
To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

So I can sync two iPods to my iTunes account and sync the same digital copy movies that come with some o' my DVDs to both ipods? Do movies make a difference really, DRM-Wise? Thanks in advance.

How many devices can i run lion on it?

how many devices can i run lion on it?

As far as licensing goes, it seems that as long as all the Macs are being used in your household, there's no limit.
From the Lion license file:
"If you obtained a license for the Apple Software from the Mac App Store, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License and as permitted by the Mac App Store Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms and Conditions (http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/ww/) (“Usage Rules”), you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license:

How many devices can you have on 1 icloud account

how many devices can you have on 1 icloud accout?

It's unusual for a whole family to use the same icloud account, since that way everyone gets the same emails, contacts, calenders, etc. All it takes is one family member to delete a contact by mistake and then it will be deleted from everyone's devices. Not good. The usual advice is for every individual to have their own icloud account.
The iTunes store is another issue - everyone can use the same Apple ID to access the same itunes account to download music, apps, etc. without everyone having to buy the items multiple times.

On how many devices can I download and watch a purchased movie

My teacher in school is looking for the cheapest way for all of our class to have access to a movie we are studying. I would like to know how many devices can be linked with one itunes account, so if our teacher created an account and purchased the movie could all/some of our class download it from icloud and watch it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please see the following information for the limit of devices that can be associated with a single Apple ID.

How many devices can I have in my support profile?

How many devices can I have in my support profile? I have 24 and can not add any more. I just tried to add a new iPhone and it says the serial number, "We're sorry, but this serial number is either invalid or it is for Apple software or accessories. If you are trying to register Apple hardware other than an accessory, please check your information and try again."

Never having seen that question before, I tried to find some information - could not find anything unfortunately. So, unless someone else has a better suggestion, my recommendation is to use this form:
http://www.apple.com/support/feedback/
Send them your question - or, if you are covered by Applecare or regular warranty, simply give them a call and ask.
24 Devices....... hmmmm, I'm green with envy!
