I downloaded music on my ipad but I cant re-download it on my ipod. I have the same Itunes account on both devices.

I downloaded music to my ipad mini and when I attempted to download the music on my ipod but when I search the song it says purchased and when I try and tap purchased it wouldn't do anything and only just played the song from the itunes store. How can I transfer the music from one device to another?

You might be able to redownload it on your iPod via the Purchased tab in its iTunes store app. Or you can connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your computer, and you can then sync them to your iPod.

TS2972 I would like to share my iTunes libraries with my Apple TV from both my iMac and Macbook Pro, but I use the same iTunes account on both devices. Is it possible to link my Apple TV to both devices at the same time?

I recently purchased an Apple TV, and I currently have it linked to my iMac with my iTunes account. I also have a newer MacBook Pro that has some different iTunes media on it than my iMac does, but they share iTunes accounts. Is it possible to link both devices at the same time, have access to media on both computers, and use the same iTunes account on both computers?? It seems Apple TV will only link to one iTunes account per computer, but can access multiple computers if different iTunes accounts are activated on those computers.

You can share multiple libraries with the Apple TV, they don't even need to use the same iTunes account. Just make sure that you use the same ID for homesharing on all devices.

If I have 2 computers at home that have the same itunes account on them, but have different songs on each, can I consolidate the songs to one computer so I can get rid of the older computer?

I have 2 computers that have downloaded songs from the same itunes account. How can I get all the music on 1 computer so I can get rid of the other?

make sure you have the new itunes go to the store then it will say purchesd and there after you click it, it will show everything you have ever bought on itunes and you can redownload all your music and anything you bought from there hope this helps

HT1495 I am a teacher and we all have the same itunes account for school. I started downloading apps and it was downloading on others' ipads too. I shut off all the syncing on my ipad but other teacher are saying they still getting my stuff. What do I/th

I don't know if they just got my stuff from before and are just seeing it now or if they still are getting my information. I don't have anything to hide but it's awkward knowing other people are seeing all you are downloading and even messaging. I want to talk to them more and know exactly when and where they are receiving the information but I haven't yet. I talked with one teacher and she thought they just have to turn off the syncing or automatic downloads on their ipads. Will that stop it?

Turning off automatic downloads will stop the other iPads from getting your downloads. You should all do this on each of your iPads.
Settings>iTunes and App Store>Automatic Downloads>Off.... Music, Apps and Books - All Off.
As far as Messaging, if you are all using the same Apple ID, you will all receive the same messages because Messages uses the Apple ID email address as the means by which you are contacted. Apparently all of the devices were set up with the Apple ID, which is fine, but you should all associate a new email address on each device where you can be reached. One device can keep the Apple ID as the contact address.
Settings>Messages>Send and receive>Add another email address.
Add your own unique email addresses in there. Apple will verify those addresses. Go to the inboxes of those email addresses and read the email from Apple. Follow the instructions in the email in order to finish the verification process.
Then go back to Settings>Messages>You can be reached by iMessage at ..... and remove the Apple email address from all but one of the iPads. Or you can just uncheck the Apple email address as the contact address, select the new email address, and check the correct email address as the "start new conversations from"
You will now all have your own email addresses as the address at which you can be contacted with the Messages app.

I had an iPod nano and then got a classic iPod, which then broke. So I wanted to start using my iPod nano again. I still have the same iTunes account, but when I try to sync this iPod with my iTunes nothing happens.

The music that was on this nano when I stopped using it a few years ago is still on it, and I want to replace it with other songs that I've added to my iTunes since then.

iPods (except for iPod touch) are not linked to any iTunes "account." They are associated with your iTunes library. The account in iTunes is your Apple ID, and that is used to buy and download content from the iTunes Store. It is not required to use an iPod.
The 1st (and 2nd) gen shuffle can only be used with one iTunes library at a time. When you connect it, iTunes should prompt you to start using it with your iTunes library, and warn that the shuffle's existing content will be erased. Have iTunes erase the shuffle, and it will be associated with your iTunes library going forward. You can then add content to your shuffle.
The need for the previous owner's Apple ID and password should only come up if you are trying to transfer existing content from the shuffle to your iTunes library, AND the previous owner had content purchased from the iTunes Store. Just cancel out of that step, if iTunes asks.

Okay, I am now on IOS5. How do I know my data is being back up in iCloud? I did sign up for a me email account. Also, we have two IPads, as long as we have the same iTunes account should everything "live together" in the iCloud?

Okay, I have upgraded iPad and ipad2 to IOS5, how do I know my data is backed up in iCloud? Also, will both iPads be under one iTunes ID?

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

Your iPhone and iPod can share the same iTunes account. Apps can be freely shared and used by one or both devices. You can't use money in your iTunes account to pay for your phone, but purchased apps can be used by both the iPod and iPhone.

My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account, but would like to have separate apps on our phones. How can I set up a separate account for her?

My wife and I have been using the same iTunes account for both our iPhones, but she wants separate apps from mine. How can I set up a second account in her name, delete the apps on her phone and start from scratch with just the apps she wants on her phone?

If you have the old phone, connect it to iTunes, right click on the device, and choose transfer purchases. If you no longer have the old phone, I don't believe there is a way to recover them, as they were on your original device.

Movies are not part of the automatic downloads feature. Apps, music and books only.
If you live in the U.S. you can download many Movies again for free using the same Apple ID that you bought the movie with. If you do not live in the U.S, that feature is not available. Not all Movies are available at this time either.
You can transfer the movie to iTunes on your computer and then sync it to the iPad if you like.

Download them to the computer to which the iPod is synced, re-sync.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 that all share the same iTunes account (apps, music, etc), but I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps?

I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library. The problem is I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps? This is probably a common problem with families wanting to share apps and music without realizing the issues created by this approach. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates. The problem would be how to keep all the apps, etc from being deleted off the second and third phones that were originally loaded from the one iTunes acct. Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, someone out there can help me?? Please?

I have 3 iphones, an ipod touch and an Ipad on the same itunes account. should I have a different account for each device? If so how do I get all my purchases, like music on all the devices?

You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, including separate backups. I'd suggest giving each device a unique name, to make things easier.

You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

I have a iPad and a iPhone. I am logged into the same Apple ID on both devices. Every time I download something on my phone it automatically downloads on the iPad how do I turn this off?

Welcome to the Apple community Pammy.
Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.
