HT204074 Can I device be registered two 2 iTunes accounts anymore?

So I have two iTunes accounts in our family and we both own the iPad. Does this 90 days count only once the first time it is registered or can I have the same device registered to both accounts and sign in and out of our accounts when needed?
For years I have been signing in and out of the iPad with the two accounts. Never had an issue before?
Seems VERY annoying to limit and a ridiculous time frame too. Also where is the timer? If I sell the iPad do they have to wait 90 days to login?

The page that I linked to was last updated on May 9th - how long before that it might have been around I don't know. If you don't use automatic downloads or re-download past purchases then you should be ok, buying new content should not associate your account with that device.
The timer appears to be stored on your account - from that page :
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:
Open iTunes.
Sign in to your Apple ID by choosing Store > Sign In from the iTunes menu.
Choose Store > View My Account from the iTunes menu.
From the Account Information screen, click Manage Devices.
Next to each device or computer name, you will be able to see when each was associated to your Apple ID. You will also be able to track how many days are remaining before your associated devices or computers can be associated to a different Apple ID.

Hi Mission73,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below explains how to change your rescue email address and/or reset your Apple ID security questions.
You can attempt to answer your security questions in order to change your rescue email.
If you are unable to remember the answers to your security questions and the rescue email address has changed -- contact Apple ID Security for asissistance.
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
When creating a new Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store or Mac App Store, you will be asked to provide an optional rescue email address. If you have an existing Apple ID that you use with the iTunes Store or Mac App Store, you may be asked to provide some additional security information, including a rescue email address. When you provide a rescue email address, all future security emails, such as password resets from iForgot, will be sent to the address provided. The rescue email address you provide cannot be the same as your primary email address for your Apple ID. In most cases, your primary email address is the same as your Apple ID username.

Can you put apps from two iTunes accounts on one device?

I just got an iPhone from work. I would like to put some apps I got for my personal iPod on it, but I also plan to purchase some work-related apps using a work-account (charged to the company card). Is this possible? From what I understand it would be possible to put apps I purchased for the iPod onto the iPhone, but I can't find if I can then use a new account to purchase more apps for the iPhone.
Can someone let me know if this would work? Otherwise I'll just buy the apps using my personal account and get reimbursed (not as neat, but I can't use the work account for personal apps!)

Yes, you can do that.
You just have to remember from which accounts you bought which Apps when updating them, as you won't be able to update an App bought in one iTunes Account from another iTunes Account.
As far as purchasing new Apps goes - just log-in to the required iTunes Account on the computer you sync your phone to (which should only be one computer), purchase the Apps then sync them to the phone. If you want to purchase Apps from the other iTunes Account, log-out in iTunes then log in with the other iTunes account.
It might just be easier to purchase everything through the one personal account though...

Can You Home Sharing Between Two iTunes Accounts

Hi,
My Dad has a vast amount of music on his itunes account and my old iPod used to be linked up to his account. But recently I got a iPhone 4 and I created my own iTunes account. I would like to be able to listen to the music on my Dad's account as well as the few songs I've purchased on mu account. Can I use home sharing (or something similar) so that I can listen to his music and my music on my iPhone?
Thanks in advance!

Simply enable Home Sharing with the same iTunes account info on all devices.
You still make purchases using your own iTunes account.

Can i share music between two iTunes accounts on the same computer

I know you can share the library with 'home share', but can you copy the titles to the account sothey can be loaded on to an ipod / iphone?
Or have i got to load any required music on to the computer a second time?

This should help:
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
Note that when it says "publicly accessible location", it needs to be a place where everyone has read and write access. The most common such place is the Shared folder in the Users folder, but you can place the music elsewhere if you change the access permissions manually (don't start tinkering with permissions unless you're confident you know what you're doing and can reverse things if they get messed up).
Regards.

Can i download apps from two iTunes accounts?

Just got a new iPad from the school district. The district technician loaded it w/ apps, however, our school librarian has some different apps that she syncs locally for the iPads we use in our classrooms. I'd like to have some of our school apps, but not wipe out those that have already been loaded. Is there a way to do this?

Yes very Easy.
Go to App store select Featured or Top of charts. scroll to bottom of page Logout of current Applestore ID and then log in using an existing user Name. Passwords required for all of this. Then go into Updates or more and select purchased. there will be Two colums here on the device. ON DEVICE and not of this device, Select not on device,once there select App and download. Then go back to Featured and log out and relogin under main account

Syncing to a new device; can two devices be on one iTunes account

I just got an iPhone 5c. I plan on giving my iPhone 4 to my daughter. When I tried to sync my information from the 4 to the 5c, iTunes did not list the 5c under 'devices' when I plugged it in to my laptop. Does this mean I need to have two iTunes accounts - one for each phone? How do I get my music, apps, etc transferred from one phone to the other? Going forward, can I run both phones on one account with one ID, or is that not recommended? Any help would be greatly appreciated - I'm completely lost. Thank you!!

How can my wife and I use our two iTunes account on one iPad

How can my wife and I use our two iTunes accounts on one IPad

Unfortunately it will be difficult. iPads are personal devices like phones and done have credentials. You can of course log out of and into the app store to download purchased apps but the iPad will then have all the apps of both your wife and you (though you could put these into folders I guess).

How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?

How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
Hi there
My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
How do I do this please?
I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
Any advise please?
Thanks

You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

HT201269 can i have two itunes accounts on one computer

can i have two itunes accounts on one computer

Hello Barry
It is a yes and no answer. Yes you can but you cannot have them in the same iTunes library or one of the accounts cannot be associated for 90 days. You would need to have either a separate user or separate iTunes library to have both Apple ID’s on the same computer.

HT4356 I have two iTunes accounts, how can I merge/manage them both ?

How can I navigate between two different itunes accounts ?

You cannot merge Apple IDs, so content in an iTunes account controlled by one Apple ID cannot be merged with another so that you can then abandon one Apple ID. But you can merge the content from multiple iTunes accounts into the same iTunes libraries on the same computer. You need to authorize the computer for the content. You do so by signing into an iTunes account in the iTunes app on the computer and then authrizing the computer for content from that account in the Store dropdown menu. That merged library can then be synced to multiple iOS devices. The first time you use content from one of the accounts, you will most likely be asked to sign into that account to authorize the use of the content from that account on that device.

Can I have two itunes accounts on my pc? I have one account on the computer and the second on a portable back up.

Can I have two Itunes accounts on one pc? One is on our PC now, and I have another on a portable back up. I hope I can.......thanks.

Yes, you can have multiple Apple IDs within one iTunes copy.
Note that all purchases will forever be tied to the Apple ID that was used to buy them. You will have to authorize the computer to the new library, as each device can be synced with just a single computer.

HT1349 Apparently you can have 5 computers registered for iTunes. I have 3 active computers but I guess I have other computers that are still activated that I no longer use. Is there a way to delete or see what the others are? Please help!

Apparently you can have 5 computers registered for iTunes. I have 3 active computers but I guess I have other computers that are still activated that I no longer use and I no longer have as they crashed. Is there a way to delete or see what the other computers are so that I can go in and delete them? I've tried to email Apple directly but apparently I need my hardware # and obviously I do not have that # since I don't have the equipment any longer. Any help is greatly appreicated. I am trying to add another computer and it won't allow me to as they say I'm at my limit. Please help!

Sure.
Just open up iTunes on your computer -> Go to the iTunes Store -> Click your e- maill address (top right corner of the window) -> Type in your password for your Apple ID -> Under Computer Authorisations (underneath your Apple ID account balance and address) -> Press 'Deauthorise All'
-> This will deauthorise all computers and devices from your iTunes account -> you then need to re- authorise any computers/ devices you would like to use with your Apple ID for iTunes content -> to do this, select the Store tab along the menu at the top (where 'File', 'Edit', 'View' etc..... are) -> Then click 'Authorise this Computer' -> Type in your Apple ID -> Voila!
For any iOS devices (non- computers) you wish to re- authorise, these will automatically do so when you go to play iTunes content, download an app or anything like that on those devices!
Hope this helps!

HT1420 How do I find what devices are registered with iTunes currently?

Hi! I received an alert that some of my apps are not registered with my newer computer. How do I determine what is authorised and registered, and what's not?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Tied in what way. If you are referring to authorised computers, there isn't a way to see a list. If you are referring to computers and devices associated with your account, you can see a list in your iTunes account settings on your computer.

I created two iTunes accounts: one for business purchases and one for personal. However, when I try to purchase an iBook on my personal account only the business account information appears, and my business password is requested. How can I select a different account depending on the type of purchase I am making?

You would have to sign out of the store with that AppleID and sign in with the alternate AppleID.
Settings -> iTunes & App Stores -> tap the Apple ID showing, logout, then login.
Beware thought that you can only change a device's AppleID association once every 90 days.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
So if you do this, you will not be able to use the other AppleID on that device for 90 days.
