HT204074 So your telling me that me and my brother (using different apple IDs on one computer) have to alternate every 90 days on backing up our purchases from an Iphone.

Trying to transfer the purchases from my iPhone to iTunes but my brother just did the same last week so it's saying i have to wait 84 days to back up purchases. Any ways around this? After using apple products for 10+ years, if i have to deal with this I won't be buying an iPhone 5 in a few months. because in the end the only think keeping me with the 4S was the fact that i already had a large music library but at this point my recent purchases a fairly useless for the next 3 months

Correct.  You can only redownlaod previous purchases from one account every 90 days.
You can still transfer them from your iphone ipod.  File>Transfer Purchases

    Sounds like you got a used computer and paid new for it, that's illegal.
    "Open box" is a return by a previosu customer and can't be sold as new, you should have gotten a discount or informed of such.
    Once obvious sign is it doesn't come with free iLife on it, as the drive was erased.

    I have a new mac, but every time I try to transfer purchases from my iphone to it, it says it is not authorized. But it IS!~ And it uses a very old default email. I then authorize it, it tells me it is authorized already. I tried unauthorizing and re-authorizing. I have looked up help and done what it says. I tried finding users/shared/sc info  but that file is not on this Mac. My Mac is fully updated.
    please help.

    I should add that it's an HP photosmart 4280.I found it online and it shows the Mac 0SX operating system.

  • I tunes keeps telling me that this ipod cannot be used becausethe apple mobile device service is not activated. I cannot get thie device to even come up in itunes.

    I-tunes keeps telling me that this ipod cannot be used because the apple mobile device service is not started. It was previously working and syncing, but now windows doesn't seem to be recognizing it. What can I do?

    Hi there! You can fix this error by doing the following:
    1) Click your Start button in Windows, and click "Run".
    2) In the box that appears, type "services.msc" (without the quotes) and hit enter. A new window with a big list will appear.
    3) Find "Apple Mobile Device" service in this list, right-click it and go to "Properties".
    4) In the window that pops up, make sure that drop-down box is set to "Automatic", then click the button that says "Start". A progress bar will briefly appear and disappear and it will be started. Click Apply/OK.
    5) Try running iTunes again, it should work!

  • How do I run two Apple IDs with one computer and sync music content?

    I have a single PC which I have added all of the music to one my log in. My wife and I have Iphones and I want to run separate accounts for itunes, but sync music content from the single source to both phones. Whenever I have tried to do this in the past, it starts to sync all app to both phones. I tried to therefore have separate log ins on the pc itself, but when I have tried this, the music content does not update on my wifes itunes library, after I have added music to mine (ie imported a CD), even though I have linked my wife's music library for itunes purposes to my music folder (hopefully that makes sense!!). Can anyone help as this is driving me mad, otherwise I will just have to run from my account and delete all of my wifes apps etc whenever I sync my phone, and vice versa.
    Thanks!!!

  • Can we share apps and songs with two different apple IDs but the same computer?

    we both got an iPod Touch for Christmas and we have two seperate Apple IDs and I cant figure out if the music she has purchased and the music i have purchased can be combined. We are using the same computer (windows 7) and same user acct. We also have itunes gift cards and before we start buying stuff i want to know how this all works. Thanks in advance and I must admit i am new to apple and not the greatest at it.

    I've tried everything..unplugging and re-setting the Apple TV, restoring to factory settings and starting over...nothing seems to work. I'm not sure why the software upgrade would have affected it, but that's what triggered this problem. It doesn't seem right that if it's accessible on my computer and it's all music purchased by me, that it's not all accessible on my Apple TV!

  • ICloud and iTunes Match with different Apple IDs

    I won't bore you with how it happened, but I ended up with two AppleID accounts using two different email addresses, one for iCloud (upgraded from MobileMe) and one for iTunes.  I enabled iTunes Match before realizing this, and now my iPhone and iPad won't work with iTunes Match. If I change the iPhone/iPad to use the iTunes account, I don't have iCloud.  Can I merge two accounts?  Or is there a way to change my iTunes Match to the same account used for iCloud?
    Help!

    I tried doing this because I have the same problem, but I can't log in to iCloud with my regular apple ID. For some reason it needs to be an email address.  Any other ideas?

  • Using airplay with multiple devices and different apple IDs

    I have Apple TV, iPod touch and iPad utilizing 2 different apple IDs. I can't seem to get airplay working on both devices. Help appreciated

    iWeb is an application you can use to create webpages with.
    Formerly it was part of iLife. But it is discontinued.
    It doesn't work with airplay.
    And since this forum is about iWeb, chances are very slim you will get an answer in this forum.
    Why not ask in the Apple TV, iPod touch or iPad forums?

  • I'm trying to create a Windows partition using Boot Camp. An error comes up telling me that I need to reformat my current partition(s) into one single partition. However, it's already formatted in the correct format, and is already a single partition.

    As made clear in the title:
    I'm trying to create a Windows partition using Boot Camp. An error comes up telling me that I need to reformat my current partition(s) into one single partition. However, it's already formatted in the correct format, and is already a single partition.
    My computer recently had a kernel panic, which apparently the corruption was in the system and needed to be erased and re-installed. I have a complete back-up using an external hard drive, and I am definitely not willing to do another one of those to reformat a partition that is already singular. I restarted the computer after ejecting my back-up, and after turning off time machine (thinking that boot camp was recognizing it as a secondary partition), however the error still occurs.
    Is there any way to get around this?

    From my very basic knowledge - it still looks as if there is only one partition (not including the windows 7 CD necessary to install the windows partition).

  • I had to do a complete system restore on my computer and now I am having issues getting all my music back. It's telling me that my account is in use with a different user but I'm the only user on my computer. When I go to sync it, it wants to delete all.

    I had to do a complete system restore on my computer and now I am having issues getting all my music back. It's telling me that my account is in use with a different user but I'm the only user on my computer. When I go to sync it, it wants to delete all my music and ringtones. What should I do? I don't want to loose all my items.

    When in recovery mode you can't backup the iPod.
    You will have to restore via iTunes. See:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I recently downloaded iMovie on my iPhone 5 and it is telling me to connect to wifi or use itunes to download iMovie well I have done both and it is still not working can someone please help me?

    I recently downloaded iMovie on my iPhone 5 and it is telling me to connect to wifi or use itunes to download iMovie well I have done both and it is still not working can someone please help me?

    Hi troy157,
    I'm sorry you are having issues with the iMovie app you purchased for your iPhone5.
    The first thing I would suggest is to log out of your iTunes Account on your iPhone, turn the iPhone off and then on again, and see if app finishes downloading/updating.
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap on your Apple ID account > Tap Sign Out
    If the issues persists, the article below will give you a few more troubleshooting steps:
    iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    Try the following steps to resolve your issue, testing the app after each step.
    1. Update your device software
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Check for app updates
    Ensure that your apps are up to date:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
    When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
    Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.3. Install another app from the App Store
    4. Restart the application
    If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
    Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
    Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
    Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
    Tap the red minus to quit the app.
    Press the Home button, then restart the app.
    5. Restart your device
    Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.6. Reinstall the affected application
    Remove the application from your device and reinstall it.
    Touch and hold any application icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle.
    Tap the "x" in the corner of the application you want to delete.
    Tap Delete to remove the application and all of its data from your device.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store.
    Search for the application and then download it again.
    Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you will be charged for the app again. For more information regarding downloading previously purchased items, see this article.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • TS3510 I have 3 different apple devices using the same Apple ID and would like to use FaceTime to call from one device to the other.  Do I need a different Apple ID for one of the devices in order to do that?

    I have 3 different apple devices (iPod Touch, iPad and MacBook Pro) using the same Apple ID and would like to use FaceTime to call from one device to the other.  Do I need a different Apple ID for one of the devices in order to do that?

    I found this on a related question in the Community:
    Yes you can do it. I do it with 4 different devices all using the same Apple ID.
    You need to associate different email addresses for each device in order to use those email addresses as the "contact at" email address. The reason the calls are dropping on you now is that what you are trying to do is like calling yourself on your own phone.
    You can also create new iCloud accounts on each device simply to use for FaceTime, but I'm guessing that the users of the other two devices have their own email addresses which will make this work for you quite easily.
    Take a look at this for more information.
    The seems to go against what Gail said and the issue you raised about buying dup apps was my first concern.  If this other post is correct, how to I set a different "contact at" in the iPod Touch?
