How to use same apple id on 3 ipods and share apps and music on itunes.

I have three kids with different ipod. My oldest has had hers and already has an itunes account. My other two just got theirs.When i set them up it was not able to use same apple ID (email). It said it was already being used by other device. Is there a way to use the same email for all so I am the onein control of purchaes.....
Also how do i add the other tow to my daughters itunes account so they can share apps and music. I plugged them both in to the pc but than when i go to accounts it only shows the original ipod under icloud. I want to use same itunes and icloud account for all.
Oldes has 4g others have 5g.

Yes. Just use the same account on all the devices.

If you want them to have separate contacts and Calendars and some other things
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

How to use one Apple ID for mac book and iPhone

My computer crashed. How do I get the songs off my iPod and onto my iTunes?

I have a second generation iPod Touch. It's an 8GB. I had basically filled it to capacity with music with a few apps and videos on there. Then, my computer crashed. So, after downloading the latest version of iTunes i tried to sync up my iPod and get the music back. Instead it asks me to "Erase & sync" or "Transfer purchases". My iTunes is fresh and has no music on it, so I am not going to erase and sync it. And most of my music was not purchased from the iTunes Store, so I am not going to transfer the purchases because it would have a fraction of my music on the iPod. My iPod hasn't been synced up in days because i will lose all or most of my music, but I do have all my music on it. I was just wondering if there was any way to import ALL the songs off my iPod and put them on my computer as well as iTunes!

For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

New iPad 2 16mb; how do I sync (download) selectively - pictures from iPhoto and music from iTunes? Or do I have to download all? I only have 16 mb on my iPad 2.?

My new iPad 2 has only 16 mb. I have hundreds of pix on my MacBook Pro laptop iPhoto and I don't know how many mbs of music on my iTunes. I haven't sycned my new iPad with my MacBook Pro yet because I fear I will overrun the available space I have on the iPad. Is there any way to selectively download pix and iTunes to the iPad?

You should have 16 GIG on yourr iPad, not 16 meg
When you hook them up to iTunes select to 'manually manage music and videos' and that will allow you to choose what bits and pieces you can put on your device.

Can I use same apple ID on two IPads? And how do I name new IPad..Thank you in advance for any help

Can I use same Apple ID on my old and my new IPad....and if so, how do I name the new iPad. want to keep games on one iPad and use the other for emails etc. Many thanks

Hi,
Yes you can definitely use the same Apple ID regardless of how many apple devices you have. This way you can install the apps that you have already purchased.
It really does not matter what name your iPad is. You usually rename them under Settings>General>About>Name>
Just a note if you use the same icloud apple id as well, both devices will recieve the imessages and facetime calls.
Hope that helps!

HT204053 i used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are on both phones how do i fix this. I dont need his contacts on my phone and the other way also. Should i create a different icloud account for his phone?

I used the same apple id for my iphone and my husbands now all our contacts and such are together. How do I undo this? Do i create him a different icloud account?

Yes, start with deleting your account on his device:
(Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)
In the next step, create a new account on his device:
(Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Your Account)

I'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't update my free software downloaded on both, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOT OWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how i can update my softwares on ipad & ipod using the same apple id

I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update.

HOW TO?: Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

"phone registration ID" - do you mean iTunes Store account ID? If so:
Settings > Store > tap ID > Sign Out > Sign In with correct ID and billing info.

Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him mine. Want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address.

Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him my 4s. We want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address on 4s iPhone. Also, when I tried to change iMessage I got a message that if I deleted my id (which seemed to be the only way to get my husband's I'd there), I would not be able to receive iMessages on any device.
Would someone kindly tell me how to set up th 4s for my husband so that we can keep our info separate? It would be most appreciated! Thanks!!

Hey Fagen!
You will want to see the following article for guidance on achieving the result you wish to achieve:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
I would just follow the instructions from this article to give your unused 4s to your spouse. Since you have already started using your 5s, you will still be receiving iMessages on that phone and will have no need to receive them on a device that has been replaced. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

HT3529 iMessage appearing in 2 different iPhones with distinct phone numbers but using same apple ID

I and my friend both use same apple ID. When someone sends me an iMessage to my iPhone, it goes to his iPhone with separate phone number also. When I send someone an iMessage from my iPhone, the message will appear as sent from his iPhone also. But the receiving person will get only one iMessage (from my number).
Both of us have ios 6 and separate phone numbers but same apple ID.
How is this possible?
When I checked setting on iMessage on my phone, send and receive shows my phone number and email address only.
Has my iPhone been hacked by him?
Please help

iMessage is linked to a phone number AND an email (Apple ID) address.
Sorry for bugging cheonweb but I just want to be clarified:
1) If the phone numbers are different but the Apple ID is same, he would still get iMessages sent from/to my Phone number?
2) Why is it not vice versa? Why do I not get messages sent from/to his iPhone?
Thanks in advance

Use separate Apple IDs for each family member and use Family Sharing features of those things (if any) that you do want to share. https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/

Make a new Apple ID for her.
Use it on her iPhone 4S for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.
Use your ID on her iPhone 4S for iTunes and App Stores.
Sign in with your Apple ID on iTunes Store (on iTunes app of her new computer)
Authorize her new computer with your Apple ID in iTunes (iTunes menu>Store>Authorize this Computer)
Check "Share my Library on my Local Network" in iTunes Preferences in your and her computer
Sign in Home Sharing of her iTunes with your Apple ID.
Copy all the Music she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Copy all the apps she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Export all playlist as xml files from the old computer to the new one.(right click on the playlist to export and "File>Library>Import Playlist to Import)
Sync her iPhone 4S with all content she wants from her new computer (all data from the old computer will be deleted)
Are you sharing Contacts or other data from iCloud?
Be careful or ask for help about moving from iCloud account to another one.

Turn off My PhotoStream in iCloud on both the iPad and the Mac. PhotoStream is what shares your photos (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta, in which case, all photos uploaded are accessible from all devices signed onto the same Apple/iCloud ID).
