I have one apple ID but have multiple devices and multiple passwords. i can't seem to limit it to ONE single password.

each time i log in with my apple ID on a device it says password incorrect and i have to go through 2-step authentication to get a new password. this will work until i need to log into a different apple device with the same apple ID in which case i am told my password is incorrect and i have to create a new password. how can i make my ONE apple ID have only ONE password? thanks!

After you change your account's password you may need to log out of it on all of your devices (tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store) and then log back in with the new password so as to 'refresh' the account on them.

I am unable to download updates directly to iPad 2 , now trying to reinstall one from scratch but download keeps stopping and the restarting. Can you offer any advice, this happening when trying to download to laptop in itunes as well. Have tried to download on different broadband lines without success. Is this an apple problem due to high demand or something else?
Everything has worked well until about a month ago, up to date iOS 5 and itunes installed. Tried resetting numerous times, turned off all apps still no joy. Ipad was great but now feeling buying one was mistake. Also recent music purchase was useless and tunes would not play correctly.

Since this is happening on the iPad and the computer, it might be worth a try to reboot your router - unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
Quit iTunes on the PC, reboot it and the iPad as well
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons

What have you tried to fix it ? If you haven't already done so then see if any of the following fix it :
- log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in
- close the iTunes store app via the multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the iTunes store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
- soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

I have multiple devices and multiple Apple ID's

Hi,
I wonder if any one can help, I am trying to get all my devices under one account however I cannot remember the other log in details for the other accounts. I was wondering whether there was a way to get this sorted so that I can then use all the devices on one account rather than others. My second issue is that I have had some one else's music on my iTunes of which I do not know how it got there as I never signed in with another account on my Mac (its happened on both iMac and MB Air). Is there a way to completely remove all other id's associated, so that it only picks up my music from my Accounts? I have been told I cannot merge two accounts together, I have memory issues and have only just remembered about the other accounts I have. if only there was a way to get all the music onto one account.
I have MB Air, iMac, iPhone 5s and iPad Mini
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

You can't merge accounts, nor can you transfer content between accounts - all downloads will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.
If you can't remember the ids for the other accounts then if you have any of their downloads in your Macs iTunes libraries then you should be able to get their ids from them : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
Or you can try getting your ids via http://appleid.apple.com : Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID
You can get an account's password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com
For the account that isn't yours, then I'm no aware of an easy way to remove them from your iTunes library - presumably you don't know that account's password, if you did then you could deauthorise the account which would stop your iTunes being able to play them.

We can make multiple subscription for the same itunes user?
2 - When the transaction came to my device, i send the receipt file data to the server check on apple and create enable the content for that user. What the logic used to i know the customer by transactions in the receipt? If the user logout in app from their account, but the receipt still coming every week, how i know the customer by the transaction or receipt data after check on apple? How you do it?
3 - The user make a subscription on 1st may, i sent the receipt to server and the server enable the content to me. My app is never openned more or the app is uninstalled, i still receiving the money from that subscription if i dont call method "[[SKPaymentQueue defaultQueue] finishTransaction: transaction]" on app because he dont open the app? I have another way, like a callback service, to receive the transaction notifications, or only by app?
Im searching for this answer a lot, but not found
Can anyone help me?

My iphone 5s = apple id 1
Husband iphone 4s = apple id 2
My ipad = apple id 3
Son #1 ipad mini = apple id 4
Son #2 ipad mini = apple id 5
For iCloud.. Not quite, you want the same ID for iCloud on your phone and iPad so you have the same info on each. (so perhaps ID 1 on both.
But if you want to share your music (assuming lets say its your ID 1 that has the iTunes account), you should all use ID 1 for iTunes.

How do i manage multiple devices and multiple libraries?

Hello,
I have 3 computers (mine, my mothers, and my son's). I have 3 ipads, 2 iphones, and 3 ipod touch's that I need to manage and organize.
I want to take all the "kid stuff" off of my ipad, ipod, and iphone, and my mother's ipad and iphone, and put them on my son's ipad and ipod. Son's ipod used to belong to my mother, so it was started with her itunes account. I just synced it with his computer, but had to use her itunes account info to do it. Son's ipad is new and will be delivered soon. My 3 devices have been synced with my computer and my itunes account. Mothers 3 devices are synced with her computer. I just created another itunes account on my son's computer.
How can I get all this data moved around and put on the correct devices and the correct computers? OR, is there an easier way to do this that I don't know about? I'm pretty computer savvy, but my head hurts thinking about how to try to do all this.
I also have a Stora device that I would prefer to have all the media live on, rather than 3 individual laptops.
All of the ipads are generation 1, the phones are 3s and 4 (soon to be 4 and 4s), the ipods are all touch, but do not have cameras, and all the computers are window's based.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Sarina

HT204053 combining multiple device and multiple use logons

My iTunes, iCloud and Apple IDs and passwords, both current ones and those used over the last couple of years, are not the same. Can I use one sign in for all of them and how do I do it? I do use the same email for all of them.

Unfortunately, Apple IDs cannot be merged.

I have some sort of redirect when using Firefox and google. I can't seem to find it so I have resorted to using Chrome

It takes me to malicious sites when I click on the first choice on a google search no matter where it is in the ranking. It is really annoying. I have anti Malware and avast. Neither seems to find it. I am not computer saavy enough to get into the root logs etc. and I don't want to pay a bunch of money just to use my beloved Firefox. Can I delete firefox then re download it?

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br /><br />

I have an Apple network, but.....

I have an Apple network, but have to have 1 Toshiba PC due to some custom software that needs to be accessed after hours from a company in the USA (Curves Smart). All our Mac's back up OK on time capsule. But can I set up a Windows PC to back up as well?

Sure, the TC will act as a network drive and you just use whatever backup software on the pc and make a backup. Recognising that the TC is not a particularly safe backup location.. ie they die with remarkable consistency and no single drive sealed unit is ideal.

One apple id but content on two machines

I have one apple id but have bought music/tv shows on my iMac and also on my MacBook. Can I merge the two libraries and access stuff from both. I've genuinely paid for the content and used just the one apple id.
Thanks.

Go to the iTunes Store and enter the Purchased section from the top right section. Once in there you can download purchased items associated with your Apple ID. They will be denoted with a cloud icon and a downward pointing arrow. You can also set up iTunes to automatically download purchases made on other devices.

I already have an iTunes account but need to open a new one as I have many apple products but am limited to how many I can use my iTunes account on. How do I open a new one please. Thanks

Hi I already have an itunes account registered to my address and email address.
The problem is, I have many apple products but i'm limited to how many products I can use one itunes account for.
How do I open a new itunes account for the same address please.
Thanks for your help.
Sam

Well, you can probably do it, but then you also have to buy the products again to use them from the other account since they cannot be transferred or shared between accounts. So if you have 7 computers and want the same movie authorized on all of them, you'll have to buy the movie twice and then authorize some devices on one account and others on the other.
Do you really have >5 devices, or is it just that you have a lot of devices authorized that no longer exist but are tying up authorization slots? If that's the case, you can deauthorize things.
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 - and another helpful post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17828050
I have no idea how to do multiple accounts but you may need to create a new e-mail address (plenty of free ones out there).

Help! i have one apple id but 2 game center accounts.......each mini has their own but now they seem to obtain the same game center id......help!

i have one apple id.
i have 2 mini ipads with different game center id's but same apple id...
each ipad has their own email address setup, even though they can see all 3 email address...
why does the game center id no longer keep its own game center id?

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:
Using Game Center
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4314
Game Center settings - iPad User Guide
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9a13d039
Game Center settings
Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
Allow invites
Let nearby players find you
Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.

I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers. I want a second display.

I want to use my apple TV as a second monitor not a mirrored one, in other words, I want to use my TV as a second screen not a copy of my first screen,other people have asked this question but have been given mirroring answers so I am spelling it out here very specifically. I want a second display. This should be possible and would be awesome. Anyone know how to do this?

Nevermind I just installed it to try it and it's awesome, so happy right now, Thanks. All the things I had read about it on third party sites led me to believe it could not do extended desk tops, thanks for your help!

I have one apple ID but have multiple devices and multiple passwords. i can't seem to limit it to ONE single password.
