HT4759 how do I sync my iTunes purchases made through the same Apple ID but on different computers?

I want to sync all my iTunes music and video so I can play it on the laptop I am currently using. How do I sync them? I have made iTunes purchases from the same account using 4 different computers (2 macs and 2 pcs

Setup then Use Home Share feature on both PCs just like you would for music
After setting up home share on both computers, on one computer (say "A) ...from the pull down menu on the upper left of iTunes, select the Library/Apps from the other computer("B").
Next, at the bottom left, from the pull down menu select "Items not in my library"
Next select (highlite) all of those items not in your "A" library, then choose import from the bottom right of iTunes.
When done importing on the first computer (import B to =>A)...go to the second computer ("B") and import from "A" to=> "B"
Now you can sync your iPhone or iPad on the computer you normally use and all apps will sync.

Can anyone tell me how I can transfer iTune purchases made [by the same user] under a different Apple ID?

Hi guys - have just purchased an I-Pad and downloaded Pages from I-Tunes account onto my MacBook Pro, with the intention of syncing documents between the Macbook and my I-Pad via the Cloud... however, without noticing it at the time, I must have had a different user ID when I first registered in I-Tunes a couple of years ago [on the Macbook pro].
When I bought my I-Pad a few weeks ago, I registered in the Cloud with a nice shiny new ID and now, of course, when I want to download the Pages App I've just purchased on from the MacBook onto my I-Pad, it won't recognise on the I-Pad interface that I've already bought it [under my old ID].
I assume there's nothing I can do as Apple seems pretty inflexible on these sort of things, but just thought I'd ask!
Thanks in advance!

A couple of points to clarify...
1- yes there are separate versions for the iPad (in the iTunes App store) and for the Mac (in the Mac App store in the Apple menu on the Mac).
2- I highly suggest you do not use two different AppleIDs. You did not need to create a new one for the iPad. Since this AppleID is only a few weeks old, I would suggest you simply continue to use the old one. You can update the AppleID if needed.
3- syncing between Pages on the iPad and the Mac is not automatic. The iPad Pages will sync to iCloud but Mac Pages does not currently do this.
You need to log into iCloud.com and download the Pages document you want then open it on the Mac. Then after editing, you need to log onto iCloud.com and re-upload it.
Automatic syncing to iCloud is supposed to get updated with a new version of iCloud and the Mac OS.

Hi I recently purchased a new mac computer and would like to sync the music off my iPhone to my new mac.However, my phone and my new mac have different apple Ids.The PC which my phone is synced and has the same apple ID but does not let me transfer the music. Home sharing is not working. How do I successfully transfer and sync the music off my ipone 4 to my mac book pro if they have different Apple IDs? Thanks!

What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.

The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

I want to be able to face time also using my ipad2 to my laptop especially if one of the members of the family is traveling. Thanks.

thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

We have 2 iphone 4. Not upgraded to OSI5. We share the same Apple id to buy, etc. How can we set up the same Apple id but a diiferent icloud id and still see both iphones on find my iphone?

My wife and I both have iPhone 4 phones. Neither of them have been upgraded to OSI 5. We share the same Apple ID to buy things, etc. We are planning to buy an iphone 4s for our daughter next month. We would all like to share the same Apple id so that we can make purchases from the same account ... that way we only fund one account. We would like to upgrade to OSI 5 and keep/share the same Apple id but be able to set up different iCloud accounts for when we sync our phones. How can we do that? One other thing, we like being able to fine our locations on the same screen (and would add our daughter) using Find My Phone. Can we still do that? Thanks in advance for your help.

You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc.

How do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

how do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

Sync them both to the same iTunes music library. You can also automatically download purchased music to both by going to Settings>iTunes & App Stores and turning Music to On under Automatic Downloads. If you music is in multiple computers, you can enable Home sharing to share your music library across multiple devices (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).

2 iphones 1 computer. updated my wifes phone to ios 5 her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts are on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user accounts on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal?

2 iphone 4, 1 computer. i upgraded to ios 5 and just updated my wifes phone as well. her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts were put on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user acct on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal??

Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

How to set up imessages on 3 devices sharing the same apple id?

i have an ipod and iphone and an ipad. i have one apple id for all of them. when i did the ios 5 update it asked me for my apple id to set up icloud, thus being the same for all.
however i have encountered a problem. when trying to set up imessages by default it uses my apple id email address. so all my devices is trying to use the SAME email address for imessages. thats not goint to work because it will be messageing itself! HELP! it doesnt give you the option to change email addresses so what do i do???? how do i set up 3 completely different imessage accounts and still beable to sync between devices??

Facetime only works with two devices at a time. You can have the same Apple ID, but the two devices can't have the same email address. Get a new gmail account. Normally you use wifi for connection, however, with iOS 6 and an iPad 3 you can use cellular.

Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

You are the one getting the artwork.
Did it get the same artwork again?

How to use the same apple id on two different iphones with different sync?

Hi all,
I own an iPhone 4s for personal use. Soon my company is going to give me a business phone and I can choose to have another iPhone. I'd love it but I don't know if what I wanna do is possible.
Let's say I will have iPhone P (personal) and iPhone B (business) and Apple ID MyID.
At the moment on iPhone P with account MyID I have application App1, App2, ... App9, I have contacts Cont1, Cont2, ...Cont9, I have songs Song1, Song2, ... Song9. All these are synced on my personal PC via iTunes and stored in the iCloud.
When I'll get iPhone B I'd love to be able to use on it my Apple ID MyID and to sync it with my business PC (so NOT the same one I use for iPhone P).
The configuration I'd love to have would be the following.
iPhone P
- Applications: App1, App2, App3, App8, App9
- Contacts: Cont1, Cont2, ... Cont9
- Songs: Song1, Song2, ... Song9
iPhone B
- Applications: App4, App5,App6, App7, App8, App9, App10 etc.
- Contacts: Cont1, Cont2, Cont10, Cont11, ..., Cont20
- Songs: Song1, Song2, Song10, Song11, ... Song20
So will it be possible using the same Apple ID MyID on both iPhones to have this configuration? Some apps, contacts and songs in common and some differents?
If so, how should I configure the two iPhones and the two PCs?
Kind regards.

If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US
Must be a verified email address.
