HT204406 I enabled iTunes Match on multiple devices. When I change certain playlists they update fine on the other devices, but i have a playlist on my macbook pro that cannot be seen on my other devices.  How do I correct this?

I just enabled iTunes Match on multiple devices in my house.  At first, almost all the playlists were duplicated.  I manually deleted the playlists back to one entry per playlist...a real pain.  I could see changes made on one device updating on the other devices for almost all my playlists...which told me things were working correctly.  But....There are a couple of playlists on my Macbook Pro that won't update to my other devices, like my desktop.  What gives?

You can sign in on multiple devices to use iTunes Match but it must be with the exact same Apple ID you used to purchase the service. You will need to sign out of the existing ID on the devcies and sign in with the new one.

  • ITunes match across multiple devices?

    Is it possible to use iTunes match across multiple devices?  My wife and I use the same computer when at home and we have music stored on that computer. She had her own Apple id to use with her own iPhone, as do I.  We don't want to have multiple music libraries since we liste to most of the same music.  Is it possible to have iTunes match between 2 iPhones that are using different Apple id's but the same iTunes account?
    Thanks

    When I try to go to iTunes music match on her phone it asks me to sign into match, which I am assuming is the same as her Apple ID name and password.  This is a different name and password than my account.  So, it seems that she cannot access my "cloud" from her phone in order to download music that I have purchased.  I guess since she has her own iClud account, she needs to sign up for iTunes match through that account and pay the fee.  I was hoping we could access the same 'Cloud" to have the same library of music? Hope that made sense.
    Thanks for the help.

  • I need to back up and sync multiple iPhones to a single iMac.  Each iPhone has a separate Apple ID and the data from each iPhone needs to be backed up separately from the others.  How can I do this without getting all of the contacts, etc. mixed? Tnx

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

  • I'm trying to setup my new iphone and the Apple ID it asks for is my friends old Apple ID that she no longer has access to. How can I fix this?

    I'm trying to setup my new iphone and the Apple ID it asks for is my friends old Apple ID that she no longer has access to. How can I fix this so I can use my new phone? The first step asks for my iCloud info but then asks for my friends after I agree to the terms.

    The iPhone is new, has never been used. When asked if I want to set it up as a new phone, restore from an iTunes backup, or my iCloud backup I selected iCloud. It then askes for me to sign in with my Apple ID, I then agree to the terms, then it asks for me to sign into my friends Apple ID. She and I have used each other's computers in the past so I assume this is where her information is coming from. The problem is she no longer had that email or Apple ID and has no way of gaining access to it and therefor I am unable to proceed.
    I suppose my question is, how can I remove her information from mine so I can setup my new phone using iCloud. Also, I have already checked my Apple ID online and nowhere on my account is her information listed.

  • My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?

    My old iPad 2 is updated to ios 7.1.2 but I have a new 4 which is only compatible with 7.0.4 from setup. How can I backup my account to the new iPad with this incompatibility?

    What you need to do is temporarily set up your new 4. Just long enough to update the operating system. Then you can erase all content and settings - which puts it back to its out of box state, then set it up again, this time restoring it from the backup of your two.
    So, using the same Apple ID on both - just to keep things easy - set up your 4. Just basically choose 'set up as new' to activate it, then immediately update the iOS to 7.1.2.
    then erase all content and settings, which puts it back to 'llike new'...but the operating system will not reset, it'll remain 7.1.2
    Then set it up again, this time choosing to 'restore from the backup' of your 2 and your 4 will be a near clone of your two.

  • I have thousands of emails on my Ipad that I would like to delete permanently.  How can I do this?

    I have thousands of emails on my IPad that I would like to delete permanently.  How can I do this?

    Hi
    I know this feature isn't the most intuitive but I found out how to do it all at once.
    Go to the mail box you want the messages deleted from (probably the Inbox of your most used Email Address)
    Tap Edit
    Tap the circle left of the first message on the list to select the first email message
    Put your finger on Move but don't release it!
    With another fingerdeselect the first message so there are no messages selected
    Remove your finger from the Move button.
    Select the mailbox you want the messages to be moved to (probably Trash)
    Hope this helps!

  • When i open safari i get 2 different desktops. When i close one it closes the other. How can i stop this from happening?

    When I open safari i get 2 desktops, one with the last page i visited and the other desktop has another start up page. when i shut down one it automatically shuts down the other. This only just started happening. Any idea of how to fix it?

    Which Mac OS X is installed?  If you aren't sure, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The OS X version is noted there.
    And which version of Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safar > About Safari

  • How to properly set up iTunes Match on multiple devices

    Hi,
    I've just purchased iTunes Match and I would like to set it up to all devices in my apartment. I've read that you can set it up up to 10 devices.
    My situation:
    I have MacBook Pro, iPhone 4 and iPad with my Apple ID.
    My wife has her MacBook Pro and iPhone 3GS with her Apple ID.
    My Macbook is authorised with her account and her MacBook is athorised with my account, so we can copy music from each other.
    We have almost the same music library, just with few differencies (I have more heavy music and she has bit more soft music).
    I've purchased the iTunes Match on my MacBook. How could I turn the iTunes Match on her MacBook and iPhone?
    Thanks a lot for any advice or link

  • Sharing iTunes Match across multiple devices

    Hi All,
    I have done some searching but I can’t find the answer to my question(s).
    Current setup:
    I have 1 PC and 2  Macbooks (my PC and my children have a Macbook each). Each PC/Mac has its own iTunes Library which is linked by my homeshare account. We share most of the music we buy across our libraries via homeshare
    We also have 3 iPhone 4’s mine and the children’s. Each iPhone 4 is linked to its own iTunes library on the respective devices and we have 3 separate iTunes accounts.
    I have just signed up for iTunes music Match on my PC/iTunes Account and want to know what the deal is regarding setting up my kids iPhones so that they are also linked to my Music Match account and how that can be done. I  also want them to be able keep their own iTunes account so that they can still buy music and apps and download them to their phone and synch to their Macbook iTunes libraries.
    Is this possible?
    In summary  - I don’t want to pay for 3 iTunes  Match accounts but want my kids to be able to take advantage (synch to thier iPhones) of the music that is now in the cloud via my music match account whilst keeping their own iTunes accounts.
    Hope this is clear and that someone can help…
    Cheers

    what makes it tricky is the individual itunes accounts for apps. 
    regarding music, my recommendation is to put each computer on the same itunes account (keep the files, but link the computers to the same account)  when you activate match on each computer, the software will add the files from each respective computer and will create a master library (each computer will be able to see ALL files from all three computers.  Then, I would put each iphone on the same itunes account (everyone share the same account). 
    as for apps:
    I'm thinking I am reading right that the three iphones are linked to separate computers.  I am pretty sure that an itunes account on a laptop or desktop can be "authorized" by multiple accounts.  One beauty of itunes 10.5 is the ability to sync an iphone on one computer for "photos" and use the same iphone to sync to another computer for "apps" and another computer for "podcasts" etc (if anyone had any use for doing such a thing).  What I believe this would allow someone in your situation to do, is to essentially be able to log each child's iphone into one itunes account for itunes match, but then use each individual computer to still sync the children's different app accounts.  One child can sync to one computer for their apps and another child to another computer for their apps, etc.  The difference, however, is i'm pretty sure there is no getting around what to do about future bought apps.  they might all have to be bought on one account.  If that is truely the case, you may not be able to do separate itunes accounts.  In such a scenario, i would add everything to the itunes account that has the most apps, and begin shareing apps among them in order to share itunes match

  • HT4914 Can you use iTunes Match on multiple devices with different apple id's ?

    I have multiple phones with the same iTunes ID but they have different apple ID , will the iTunes Match work with all my devices ?

    I've got the latest version of iTunes & it's supposed to be able to be enabled under top panel "store" then appear down left side panel to subscribe. Which makes me think that it musn't be able to be used if you're running XP as it's not there....
