HT4352 AppleTV with two iTunes accounts

My wife and I have separate iTunes accounts. Can our AppleTV access content from both of them, or just one?

It can only access one at a time. You can go into settings and input both of them in but you would need to switch between them.

  • Can 2 teachers share an ipod touch and put apps on it with two itune accounts

    Can 2 teachers share an ipod touch and put apps on it with two itune accounts?

    Sure.  No problem.
    Be aware that ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them.  Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password.  Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.
    Minor nuisance if you choose to update apps from inside the computer's iTunes.  If you're logged into the "wrong" account, it's necessary to log out/in to do the update.  It's easier if you update from the iPod itself.  No need to log out/in but you do need to know the password for the ID.

  • 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.

  • Will I have problems with two iTunes Accounts?

    When I first bought my Mac, I didn’t have MobileMe, and therefore I used my Comcast email address in order to set up my iTunes account. I purchased several Apps, music, and iBooks under my Comcast account, however, since purchasing MobileMe, I have kept myself signed into iTunes under my MobileMe Account, and have made all purchases using my Mobileme iTunes account. Unfortunately, I know this means that I have two iTunes accounts.
    For mail, I solely use MobileMe, and any email I get from Comcast, is forwarded to my MobileMe Account. When I get “App Updates” available on my iOS devices (iPhone 4S and iPad2), the “pop up” (which requires I enter my password to allow the download to begin) will be associated with either my Comcast email address, or my MobileMe address (depending upon which account I purchased the App, Music, or Book under). I do use only one single computer for backing up however.
    While this hasn’t created any problems using an iTunes hard or wireless sync, I didn’t know if I will have any difficulties once migrating over to iCloud. I’m hopeful that everything works as it has. I don’t have a family account, all purchases under the Comcast and MobileMe addresses currently live locally on my iMac that I use for syncing.
    Just wanted to check with you all before I migrate to iCloud, as I didn’t want to lose any of my Apps, Music or Books, nor do I want to have difficulties with App updates (e.g. problems migrating purchases to iCloud that were originally bought under my Comcast Account, or problems updating Apps when updates are available that were originally purchased under my Comcast Account).
    Thanks you in advance for any input!
    Best,
    iDan
    PS: I recently updates to iOS 5, and 10.7.2!

    My personal experience has been no issues with either browser, including using a secure webmail account access.  If others have reported issues, I really can't comment since I haven't had any.  I have used my systems extensively in Paris and Zurich, especially at the technical university in Zurich and been satisfied with my access.
    Of course, if you have more than one browser installed you can easily switch between them if problems do arise...a lot to be said for options

  • Can two people with two iTunes account share an iPad

    Just a question.  I want to share my iPad but not my iTunes account.. How

    Yes.
    When updating an app that was downloaded with another iTunes account, you must use that iTunes account and password. If the password for each iTunes account is not known by the other, you can't download any apps or iTunes content with the other person's iTunes account and vice-versa. The same for app updates.

  • Sharing Apple TV with two iTunes Accounts

    I have an iMac with an iTunes Account that is synced with an Apple TV. When I purchase movies on the Apple TV it bills my iTunes Account.
    My Wife also has an iTunes Account separate from mine, and wishes to purchase movies on Apple TV and have the fee deducted from her her account.
    Is it possible to have your Apple TV bill more than one account?

    You will have to log into your wife itune account but from the TV.
    Settings, itunes etc......

  • Apple TV sync'd with one MacBookPro with two iTunes accounts

    The music videos on my computer were purchased with two separate authorized iTunes accounts but the AppleTV will only authorize one account. The MacBookPro plays music videos authorized under either account. Is there any way I can use the Apple with both accounts ?

    I have my AppleTV happily syncing and playing content purchased by three different iTunes store accounts. All I can think is one or other of the account authorisations needs to be re-entered on the Macbook Pro before you re-sync. Log on to the MBP under the Mac account you are using to sync with the AppleTV, start up iTunes, and double-click to play one track that has been purchased with each of the different accounts.
    This will make sure all those iTunes accounts are still authorised - I find sometimes one or other might need to be re-authorised after an iTunes update - and also that they are still readable/playable by iTunes running under that account (ie that the file location in iTunes' catalog is still pointing to the right place). When you then sync with the AppleTV the files should all copy across, and subsequently be playable just fine on there.

  • How 2 sync 2 iPhones on 2 computers with two iTunes accounts and 1 library?

    Hi,
    I've been searching a LOT for a suitable answer to my problem, but so far without any luck!
    This is what I've got:
    1 iPhone4 syncing with one MacBook via iTunes account1 (mine)
    1 iPhone3Gs syncing with one XP laptop via iTunes account2 (my girlfriend's)
    1TB usb drive connected to Airport Extreme holding the entire iTunes library. All the music, apps, podcasts, etc.
    Both iTunes accounts are set up so they point to the 1TB drive, but it's not without problems...
    What I'd like, is for both computers to be able to "see" the iTunes library, and add files to it, that'll be accessible from each.
    And still sync each iPhone with it's own iTunes account.
    Is this possible? Or do I need to use the same iTunes account on all phones and computers?
    What I've got, apparently, is home-sharing set up in a way that when I add content from iTunes Account1 to iTunes Account2, it gets added to the iTunes library again, and so I have a lot of doubles and, despite the size of the network drive, I'm actually running out of space.
    Is there a way to avoid this?
    Best regards,
    Jakob Færch-Jensen

    First off all I would recommend against shating between accounts since Aperture was not designed for this and your might encounter library corruption.
    You might try this tip on Macworld.com. It requires you to use the Terminal though. Make sure you follow the commands exactly, without any typo's before you hit the enter key to execute a command. (And make a TimeMachine backup before you start.)
    After you've complete this, start a new library in the place where you set the extended permissions on. Then everything should work.
    A seccond tip is to setup the Aperture library on an external drive and set this volume(drive) to ignore ownership permissions.

  • How to split one shared iTunes library associated with two iTunes accounts?

    My boyfriend and I share one computer and have one shared iTunes library on that computer. We both maintain our own separate iTunes accounts. We have very different tastes in music, literature, film, etc. the library has become quite large and my boyfriend is frustrated by the complexity of synching his devices to just his selections and would like to separate our purchases into two separate libraries based on our iTunes account purchases. What is the easiest way to split into two different libraries?

    To my knowledge, there's no quick way.

  • I ended up with two iTune accounts. One has been disabled. i changed the password but it still is coming up disabled. This account was from when I was living in the US. I now live in Canada and have a Canadian account. I want my purchases from the US.

    I understand I can't merge accounts. I don't know why this account is disabled but it is likely thatt I mixed up the password for this account with my more recent account. Anyone have an other idea?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • How do I merge two itunes accounts?

    Somehow I ended up with two iTunes accounts.  This was not by design, but rather because of the convoluted sign-up process and my unfamiliarity with it.  I didn't deal with it before now because it wasn't a problem until now.  What has caused it to be a problem is that I just got an iPad to go along with my iMac, iPhone, and MacBook Pro (trust me, I never thought I'd see this day, but I needed a system that was integrated).
    Since accounts are associated with users, the songs that show up on my iPad are different that what's on my iMac.  I could describe the problems and challenges in detail, but I'm sure any knowledgable users can imagine what they are.
    Now, in order to use iCloud, I have to move from Snow Leopard to Lion, which is going to be a bear (even moreso since a new back-up drive nearly destroyed my computer, and I have a query about it in another post-- the problems just keep on rolling).  How do I associate all my purchases from one account with the other one so I can keep credit for songs and apps?  Many thanks for all help.  -J.

    Hello HEScruggs,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    You cannot merge multiple Apple ID accounts into one.  See below for more information.
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

  • Can two iTunes accounts share the same appleTV simultaneously ?

    can two iTunes accounts share the same appleTV simultaneously ?

    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).

  • Two iPhone's with one iTunes account?

    Hi,
    Can someone tell me what will happen with my iTunes account assign to iPhone if I will give that iPhone away and buy new one. To be precise I am planning to buy new iPhone in June/July through O2 here in UK and give old one to my wife who is got Pay as You go SIM card from O2 as well, which work fine with my iPhone now (even data transfer but that cost £3/Mb at this moment!). I just wonder what will happen to all my Apps in my iTunes account when I will try sync these two iPhones then? I guess it’s not possible to share the same account between two iPhones. What are my options here?
    Thanks in advance.

    There is nothing that prevents you from sharing or using the same iTunes account with more than one iPhone. If your wife has her own iTunes account, when syncing this iPhone with iTunes when she is logged in to her account will transfer her iTunes account to the iPhone for access with the iTunes store and app store on the iPhone.

  • HT204053 Hi I've just purchased a iMac which is great, my problem is that I've a apple id account and also my wife has one, is there any way we can have two accounts i.e. separate accounts on the iMac with individual iTunes accounts, appreciate help pleas

    Hi ive just purchased an IMac and encountered an issue i didnt think of put hopefully someone can help? Ive a apple account and also the wife both with seperate itunes accounts etc. Is it possible to have two profiles with seperate accounts on our system, appreciate any help..

    I believe you can accomplish this by setting up separate user profiles for each of you on your Mac (System Preferences>Users & Groups (click the lock symbol if locked and provide the administrator name and password, then click the "+").  That should allow you to sign into separate iCloud accounts and maintain separate iTunes libraries within your respective user accounts.
