HT1689 can i switch between itunes accounts on ipad as much as i want

Is it possible to switch betweeen itunes accounts/apple id's on the same ipad as much as I want without losing what apps and movies are currently on the ipad?

From
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 beauthorized 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. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:

  • HT1689 Can I access my iTunes account on iPad as I see it in my MacBook?

    Why can't I find my apple account on my pad?

    I'm sorry, but I just saw your post. I think you are misunderstanding what I am referring to here. I was under the assumption that the OP wanted to see her iTunes purchased items account on the iPad. You can only see that in iTunes on a computer. You do not have access to all of the features of your iTunes account if you use an iPad only with regard to what purchases were made on certain dates, what the cost of those purchases was, and so on.
    Since the OP never responded - as is so often the case - I don't know for sure if that was what she really wanted to know. However, in your case, and if I am understanding what you want to do correctly, you can download most of your purchased content again for free in the purchased tabs of the various stores. If that is what you want to do, just go to the Purchased Tab of any of the iStores, look for whatever you want to download and then download it again.
    You must be using the same ID that you bought that content with originally.

  • HT202157 switching between itunes accounts

    i just upgraded my itunes account tonight.  i have a question: is the switching between itunes accounts legal?  How do they know you are not getting a friends account info and watching their movies?  Does anyone know the answer to how this works and if it is legal?
    Thanks,
    Dena

    The potential to associate a computer to an account for 90 days has been possible for a number of years like it has been on iOS devices, and can happen if you use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownload past purchases (though, based on some posts I've seen, it doesn't always seem to happen) - I believe it's an attempt to try and stop people logging into their account on other people's computers or devices and redownloading/sharing their content, not to stop people having multiple accounts.
    It shouldn't stop you buying new content on the account, just doing any of the above three things. If you want to do one of them on your other account then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will remove the current association, but if you then do one of them on the other account then you are likely to start a 90 association to that account instead : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support.

  • HT204053 How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    How can I switch my iTunes account from US store to Nigeria store?

    If you are asking because you are getting an 'account not in this country' error message then on an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on the device and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section on that screen and select Nigeria.
    If you need to update your address on your account from the US to Nigeria then on your computer's iTunes you should be able to do so by signing into your account via the Store > View Account menu option and updating your address, or on an iOS device you can do it by tapping on your id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store similar to above.

  • Easy switch between iTunes accounts

    I have two itunes accounts (one US and one norwegian). I frequently switch between the two when I check for updated apps and such. Now I would like to do this using only a keyboard shortcut or such to save time.
    Does anyone know if or how this is possible?

    Hello
    Did you ever find a solution to this by any chance? I know so many people in this situation with both a UK and US account - makes it so difficult to download apps from the App Store!
    You are only allowed to use the App store of the country you are actually located in.
    When Apple discovers someone doing so (and they will when they post it on Apple's website), Apple can (and have with others) locked the accounts so you no longer have access to anything purchased with those accounts.

  • Can you transfer between itunes accounts using home sharing

    I am wanting buy an Ipad 2 as a present and pre load some apps for them on it. Ill have to sync it to my itunes account to do this. so how do i go about ensuring what i have downlaoded doesnt get lose when they then use their itunes account? Would having to 2 accounts on one computer help?

    Apps are locked to the iTunes Store account under which they were purchased and cannot be transferred to another account. Unless the recipient of this gift will be living with you or is someone who you would trust with your iTunes Store account ID and password, preloading the iPad won't be practical since, without your iTunes Store account information, anything you load on the iPad will be erased when the recipient syncs it to their computer. You can gift the apps, if you wish, which would allow the recipient to download the apps through his or her own iTunes Store account. Or you can give an iTunes card along with the iPad and let the person choose their own apps.
    Regards.

  • How can I delete my iTunes account on my macbook pro.  I want to give my computer to someone else

    Hi I have just bought a new mac book and have migrated everything accross.  I want to delete my itunes account so my husband can put his itunes on the computer.  I have deauthorised the computer but my music etc is still say there.  Any ideas?

    Deauthorising doesn't delete music that already exists on your computer. You'll have to do that manually - assuming you really want to. Deauthorizing means, among other things, 1) any music with DRM, movies, or TV shows on your computer will not play until you reauthorize. Music without DRM will still play. 2) if you have an iPod, iPad, or iPhone you won't be able to sync your applications without first reauthorizing the computer. 3) you won't be able to purchase anything from the iTunes store until the computer has been authorized (with someone's account).

  • Audiobook 'lost' between iTunes account and iPad...

    I have just synced my ipad and two audiobooks that are in my itunes account are not transferring to my ipad. I have clicked on selected audiobooks and clicked the boxes for both of the books but they seem to have disappeared.  I have checked ibooks, audible and my music folders but they arent there either.

    Where on your account are you seeing that they are on your iPad - I'm not aware of any account setting that shows that.
    How did you try and sync them ? You should be able to do it by connecting the iPad to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you don't have the sidebar showing then option- command-S should get it to show) :
    and then on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen using the Books tab to select the audiobooks that you want to sync :
    And then click the Apply button at the bottom right of the screen. Is that how you trying to sync them ?

  • I can't switch between email accounts after updating to ios 7.0.2

    I just updated my iPhone and now I'm running into an issue.  I've looked online for others with the same issue but no luck so far.
    I have an Exchange-based email account for work, plus 3 other personal accounts.  2 are Yahoo Mail accounts, 1 is a Gmail account.  I just updated to ios 7.0.2 through iTunes, and now all I can see is the Exchange email account.  The others show up in the settings screen, but I cannot find any way to switch to them. I have tried readding those email accounts and I still can't see them. 
    Has anyone else run into this issue and found an answer?

  • Can't switch between eMail accounts

    I have Verizon Yahoo on my desktop and laptops. My laptop brings up Yahoo (aka Rocketmail) eMail account, but my desktop has always had issues with it. I seemed to have to sign out and open my eMail through IE and then reopen Verizon Yahoo for it to "stick" to the Yahoo eMail. My operating system on my desktop just crashed and all programs had to be reinstalled. Now I can't seem to get my Verizon Yahoo to open up showing my Yahoo eMail again... and the "trick" above doesn't work either. Any suggestions? I don't have this issue with my desktop - of course I'm not sure if I can switch to my Verizon eMail from my laptop since I've never tried. I mainly use the Yahoo eMail.
    P.S. Yes, they have been officially "linked" through My account - Verizon Central.

  • Can I switch between carriers for the iPad

    I would like to know if i can buy an iPad from Apple and switch from carrier to carrier if I need to. For instance, i am currently with Verizon but maybe want to switch to t-mobile in the future. Is that possible?

    Yes.
    You just need to cancel service with one carrier and get a Sim card with service from another carrier. Then simply swap out the Sim cards in the iPad.

  • Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

    Make a backup!
    i had music there for over 6 years.
    Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.
