HT1689 same itunes account with an ipad and and ipod touch?
I am getting an iPad and have an iPod Touch (have had one forever but upgraded to the latest iPod Touch last Christmas). I can see using them both quite happily, but I would like to store everything in one iTunes account, so I can access books, magazines, podcasts, music, etc. in one area. However, there are duplicate apps (some run on both devices, some run on just one or the other) -- and some apps I only want to run on one of them.
Can I just have one account and two devices with the same email, information, etc? If so, how does that work? And will the Cloud work to "bring it all together" with my MacBook Pro and Mac Mini?
Sorry to be naive about this...any help is very appreciated. Thank you in advance.
It works quite well. I have a Touch and iPad and the same Apple ID. I don't use iCloud but backup to my computer and it's very easy to share apps and data. You just choose what's on what device.

Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both?
Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both? Everytime I try to sync my new iPad, it syncs all the apps that are on my account. If I can do this, can someone tell me how please???
Yes you can, easily. When you plug the first pad in to sync, note the name of the pad on the last pane. Set up for that device whatever you want to sync. When you are done, plug the second pad in. Make sure it has a different name on the left pane. Then sync to that pad whatever you want. I tunes will remember what you did on each pad, and will start from there the next time you plug in.

My gen 3 iPod Touch seems to have duplicated all my music since updating to IOS 5 so that it now only holds half as much. What can I do about it? I'm using the same iTunes library with OS 10.6 and all software up to date.
Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order. -
I use to have a iTunes account with my old computer, and I have lost all my iTunes music, some purchased, some downloaded from another source. Now I'm using a brand new computer (Windows) and I have opened a NEW iTunes account, but I now I need to figure out if it is possible to recoup my music content that I originally had. I had, I believe around close to 300 songs on my account ;(......Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Again, Ronald

Now remove all your info and update the old AppleiD/iTunes account and use only that account.
You cannot transfer items between iTunes accounts.
You can redownload all the content. -

Can i use 2 ipad's on the same itunes account with different apple accounts?
Both me and partner have an ipad 4. Though we only have one computer, can we use the same itunes but with different apple acount without any issues? We use some of the same apps, but my partner plays fx Baldus Gate and is worries that save files will be corrupted.
Each iPad should be linked to its owner's personal, private and nonshared AppleID. In the Mac, each one should have a different login account so each has their own iTunes Library containing your iPad's details. When you use iTunes on the Mac, since each logs in with a different login and corresponding Home directory, iTunes picks up the correct AppleID.

I have an old 3G as well as a 4S. Initially I set up a separate iTunes account for the 4S as I was worried I'd lose my old apps for 3G (as older, compatible versions aren't kept in the iTunes store so once they're gone, they're gone...). 3G is set up to sync with iTunes, 4S is inly syncing mail and conatcts through Exchange but hasn't been synced with an iTunes library for the reason above.
Is there a way to sync both phones off the same iTunes account, so I can set up each phone with some music, as well as apps, without iOS 5 versions overwriting the exisitng apps for the 3G?
To complicate things further, I don't want to sync photos, contacts, messages, etc. I just want to avoid having to duplicate all my music and pay for all the apps all over again. Suggestions?
CheersHi gail,
Thanks for the quick reply! The music part makes sense, good to know I don't have to duplicate the lot. The big question stillr emains as to whether iTunes can cope with two different iPhones, running different versions of the iOS, and therefore different app versions.
Currently all the apps in iTunes are years old, and many haven't updated in months (years?) because the 3G is running iOS 4.2.1 (and can't be upgraded). Many of these have since been updated in the iTunes store (for the various incarnations of iPhone since) and the old versions that my 3G requires have been replaced.
I'm worried that syncing the 4S running iOS 5, and running the most recent updates for same apps, will cause iTunes to overwrite the old 3G compatible ones when I sync. Unless iTunes is smart enough to know which version of the app is for which OS, without updating the legacy version when I update the apps on the 4S?
You guys shouldn't face that problem, as iPad and iPhone apps don't replace each other (I believe? Not sure about this) as new updates are released for each app, you'd have a copy for each device (for example Evernote for iPad, and Evernote for iPhone). I can't figure out if iTunes can handle keeping separate iPhone versions for Evernote iOS 4.2.1 and Evernote for iOS 5. My gut feeling is no, but I want to amke sure before I lose the legacy versions of each app.
Of course, maybe I'm just paranoid and iTunes is in fact perfectly capable of keeping old and new apps in the same library?

Using the same iTunes account, can two iPads use different phone nubers for Factime?
Using the same iTunes account and two different iPads, is it possible to associate each iPad to a different phone number?
They must be iPhone numbers and only if you have two iPhones that are associated with the same Apple ID. If you don't have two iPhone numbers, you can use another email address one one of the iPads in order to use FaceTime and Messages on both devices that are both using the same Apple ID.
Assigning a new email address to one of the devices.

Using same iTunes account with 3 computers?
OK here's my situation...
I currently have an iMac with lots of music, movies, and iPhone apps purchased from MY single iTunes account.
Is there any way to share/transfer/move/copy from my iMac to either:
1. My MacBook Pro with the SAME iTunes account, or
2. My wifes MacBook, even if she has HER OWN iTunes account?
I just want to be able to have access to our purchased media from all computers since we each use a different Mac to travel, sync iPhones, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks in advance!Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.

Have been told if you use the same itunes account on two iphones, you will receive each others text messages, is this true?
you can use the same itunes id for purchases and so on, but have separate icloud id's for imessaging and all the icloud stuff. it's not preferable, but it isn't a problem either.

Is it possible to sync my itunes music from my ipad to my ipod nano 7th generation? My desktop computer is so old that I can't do it from there.
No, the iPad cannot sync to anything else since its not really a computer. You need a computer to do that.
How old is your computer? Make and Model?
Its not so much the computer, but more so the Version of iTunes installed on it. -

Im planning on buying an Ipad. I already have an itunes account for my Ipod touch with a bunch of music, and apps. When i buy said ipad (and i connect it to my account) will all the apps/ music automatically download themselves or will i be able to choose the apps/ music that will go to the ipad?
You can choose which apps to install. App Store > Purchased > Not on This iPad.

Itunes account with old email address and now I can't get access to music?
Hi. I set my itunes up years a go on an old work email address,now my apple ID is a different personal email address. When I got my new iphone, the apple ID is my personal email address so my itunes account is now not linked. If I change my appleID on the phone I can see my music but then all my apps etc are all on my new apple ID and not my old email address! Hopefully that makes sense?!
How do I get all my music from my old itunes account on to my new phone with a new apple ID?another user faced a similar issue you should try reading the solution given here
