HT204053 Can you have multiple apple ids that access one itune account??

I need to know if I can have multiple Apple Ids attached to one itunes account.  Trying to set facetime up on these separate devices and it keeps failing.  Any help would be appreciated.  I tried to add additional emails, but I all I get is verifying and it never verifies it.

yes you can still sync all the devices on itunes using one master itunes/appleID account.
Music:
If you want to select specific playlists for your kids, DON'T enable iTunes Match on their devices, otherwise they will get ALL the playlists on their devices (learned that the hard way)
If you have wi-fi synced enabled that should still work.
Apps:
I manually select which apps they get on their devices using itunes. It only changes when they re-sync.
Don't enable AUTO downloads on their devices for Apps or Music purchases.
Since I also have young kids using these devices:
I have restrictions setup on their devices. I don't allow them to install/delete apps, nor do I allow them to make any account changes on their devices. This way their devices stay in order and get backed up to icloud. I can easily restore their devices if I needed too.
Once in a while I will disable the restrictions so I can update all their apps.
Hope this helps!

  • HT204053 Can I have multiple apple ids associated with one itunes acct?

    When using iCloud with multiple devices (my kids phones, computers and mine), syncing causing all sorts of problems like losing contacts & info between devices. Is there any way to create an apple id for each person but still use the same iTunes account?

  • HT204053 can you have multiple apple id's for the family but we all use the same iCloud?

    Can you have multiple apple id's for the family members but we all us the same iCloud account?

    You'll have to have an ID you all share in order to have a shared iCloud account. It would be sensible for each person to have their own ID and their own iCloud account for email and their own data (each would be on their own computer/iOS device or user account on a Mac) and then have a common account which everyone would sign into in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to access shared data.
    You don't want to be all using the email in a common account - if people are using email aliases remember these can't be detached from the account and transferred to another one. Having all your emails mixed up together can be somewhat impracticable.

  • How do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

    how do you have multiple apple id's with one itunes

    I have multiple IDs and use the single computer sharing itunes. By 'sharing' I mean we open the pc, open itunes and log in with our individual ID as required.
    While Im logged in I plug in  my device. I transfer my purchases from my device as per the file menu (not the check for auto downloads). I move them as required to whichever playlist I like.
    Then when my son wants to use itunes or update his device, he logs in, plugs in his device, transfers purchases from his device, puts whatever music he wants into his playlist and/or drags direct to the device regardless of who purchased it and then syncs.
    Im not sure how it works associating the pc with only one ID or all that other business- I know I don't fiddle with any of that.

  • Can you have 2 Apple IDs using the one credit card?

    I'm just wondering if you're able to have 2 Apple IDs using the same credit card number? Trying to set up App Store on a new purchase with another Apple ID and whenever I put in the card number it just says for assistance contact Apple Support and it won't let me finish or go onto the next step after billing information.
    Gettig frustrated as it's not working!!

  • HT5622 Can you have multiple apple ids and all share the same apps and music?

    I have multiple devices, iphone 5s (myself), mini ipad (son), 5th generation ipod (daughter). When I receive imessages they are going to the other devices and not my phone. Is this because I have all devices set up on the same Apple User ID or am I missing something in Settings that needs to be turned on/off? I have all devices under the same User ID to control the purchases. Now I'm thinking maybe each device needs to have it's own User ID and if I switch them now, will we all still share the same apps and music? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

    Wouldn't you only need to create a new apple ID and put that on your phone instead of your old apple ID that is merged?

  • HT204053 Can you merge multiple Apple IDs?

    I have somehow collected 3 IDs over the years and want to merge them so I don't keep having to log out and resign in every time I need to update my apps on my iPhone and iPad.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Apple IDs cannot be merged.

  • HT204053 can you have 2 apple ids under one account

    Our family has several apple devices.  Our phones and computers use icloud to coordinate calendars.  However we do not want to receive each others imessages and such.  With several iphones on imessage and icloud and under the same id this has recently become an issue.  How do we stop it from happening but stay coordinated with itunes and calendars?

    Each user should have their own Apple ID for an icloud account.  You can defined shared calendars that all family members can access and edit.

  • HT201335 In my house there are 3 iPads.  Can you have multiple Apple IDs set up to work with the Apple TV?  Obviously one at a time.

      Is it possible to have Apple TV device "remember" all three ID's?  If so how does one set that up?

    At any time, you can go in the settings in the iTunes Store section to setup a different account.  This will only have to do with rental to be charge to a different account and photostream.

    I have two different accounts and one has my music on it. I just bought an Ipad and cannot sync the music from my older Apple ID... I want to keep all my stuff on my new Apple ID. Is it possible to merge the old ID apps and content to the new ID?

  • Can you have two apple ids on one mac?

    Can you have two apple ids on one mac? We each have iPhones and want to utilize iCloud.  Is this possible?

    No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
    If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
    1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
    2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
    On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
    On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
    3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.
