IPod touch + iPhone on same iTunes account?

Just curious if I can have an iPod and an iPhone under the same iTunes account? We've had an iphone for a few months now, and just recently got the iTouch, but the apps I downloaded to the iTouch (via wifi) were taken off the iTouch when I synced up last night.

Yes, you can. But you can't sync either an iPod touch or an iPhone to more that one computer, so if you were synching either with a different computer, anything on the iPod/iPhone will be erased if you sync to another computer that doesn't have the same content. So make sure everything you want in your iPod touch and iPhone are in the copy of iTunes to which you wish to sync. If you buy something directly on the iPod or iPhone, don't let it sync until you use the "transfer purchases from iPod" command under the iTunes File menu to get those apps into iTunes.
If you've lost any apps, you can download them again without extra charge. I'd suggest using iTunes so you don't have to use the extra "transfer" step. Just go through the purchase process and eventually it will tell you that you've purchased the app already and can download a zero cost.
Regards.

Can I sync my two ipod touches using the same iTunes account

I have two ipod touches and I am wondering if I can sync my legally bought digital movies from blu-ray discs that are on the cpu and registered, will it sync with two ipod touches with the same iTunes account.

The movies on the laptop are just digital copies. A lot of newer blu-ray movies come out with the blu-ray and a digital copy for the cpu as well. Thanks for responding.

Hi, my 2 kids have 2 different ipod touches all under my itunes account. when they play the same game/app, it sees them as one player. is there any way to separate their progress without giving us all different itune accounts?

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?

How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?

SeanB15 wrote:
Here are more details on my situation which should help clarify things...
I purchased three iPhone 4 models back when they first came out (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 (as I understand it) that I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct without wiping out the separate contact lists, etc. 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 and still be able to manage separate contact lists, etc. If I go this route, I assume we will lose all the apps on phones #2 and #3 that we have been "sharing"... correct? 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, one of you can help me??
we have 2 iphone 4's synced to the same itunes account for apps and music since the day we bought them, but each has a different icloud acct. they have both been updated on the same itunes account with every update that has come out since we bought them in december of 2010. nothing on either phone has ever been lost or duplicated. having said all that, maybe i'm missing something here, but we have had no problems. we do have itunes setup to sync manually. i do believe i'm a piker compared to lawrence finch, but i'm just telling you what happens in my house. maybe check with apple? is there a store near you?

SYNCING RINGTONES ON TWO IPHONES ON SAME ITUNES ACCOUNT ?

but i CANNOT get itunes to or her phone for that matter to recognise that they are on the same account and all i want to do is share them with her..............
any help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
i need you

Yes. She can just download it from her iPhone as if she were purchasing new and the iTunes Store will notify her that the app has already been purchased and allow her to download it again. If by "same iTunes account", you mean the same iTunes Store account, there shouldn't be any problems. Otherwise she'll have to sign into the iTunes Store using the account under which the app was purchased.
Alternatively, she can copy the app from your iTunes library to hers (if hers is separate) and sync from the computer.

Can I use an iPad, iPad mini and iPod touch on the same apple account?

Can I use an iPad, iPad Mini and iPod touch on the same account? Is there a limit to how many devices I can use?

When you turn on your iDevice for the first time just sign in with the same Apple ID and you can download any apps you have purchased in the past! There shouldn't be a limit to how many devices you can use.

I need to transfer content from my ipod touch to a NEW itunes account without deleting the content! help me please!!

A friend and I shared an itunes account, as we both had ipod touches. I no longer have access to that account. I have created an account of my own but I need help tranferring the content that is on my ipod touch to my new itunes. I am scared to update my ipod or syncing it because it might delete my content. I have spent A LOT of money on apps and music from itunes, and i need help! PLEASE!!

The photos are on the ipod. Photo sync will erase them. I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck. They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed.

Is it possible synchronize 2 Iphone whith same Itunes account

Hello,
Is it possible, without losing data, to synchronize a 3GS Iphone and a first generation Iphone from the same iTunes account. The 2 Iphone version are 3!
Thank you in advance

Yes, you can sync as many as you like.
They are different devices and can be set up however you like.

Someone stole my ipod while i was at school. i was wondering if apple is able to locate the stolen ipod through a serial number considering i still have it. i also have another ipod linked to the same itunes account if that means anything.

Hi, someone stole my ipod during school. I was hoping that apple would be able to find my ipod through the serial number. the stolen ipod is linked to the same itunes account as one of my other ipods... if that means anything. another thing is the passcode was on when it was taken so who ever stole it probably isn't having much luck getting into it. anyways, i would be glad to hear anyone's ideas on how to get it back

Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

My family of four (2 iPhones, 2 iPods) all share the same iTunes account. Many text messages sent to or from mine or my husband's phones are also received on my daughter's iPod, and vice versa. How do I fix this?

How can I keep text messages sent from my or husband's phone from being received on daughter's iPod, and vice versa? We have five devices on one iTunes account - 2 iPhones, 2 iPods and an iPad.

Hello Hrd1977,
This is typically caused by both devices sharing an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime. I would recommend signing out of iMessage on your daughter's device. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out. Then sign in with the desired Apple ID.

Two iphones sharing same itunes account... Help with contacts merging!!

Hello all,
Well my hubby and I are loving our iPhones but I have a few questions.
I already had an iTunes account for my iPod way before we had our iPhones. Because of this we both share the same account.
Well where my concerns are is our contacts. I have sync our phones using the icloud and our contacts have merged. I have even tried to use 2 seperate itunes log ins but this doesn'e seem to work.
One phone is iphone 4 other 4s
Can someone please help????

you can keep the same apple id for purchases like apps and music, but you need to create separate icloud accounts for contacts and so on. after you do this you may need to redo your contacts on each phone.

SYNC 2ND IPHONE TO SAME ITUNE ACCOUNT

My husband and I both now have Iphones. He currently has an Itune account on our laptop. I would like to sync my new iphone to the same account on the same laptop. When I plug mine in am I going to uninstall his??

No, there is no install/uninstall with an iPhone.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When syncing iTunes content and transferring photos with another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
You can sync multiple iPhones and/or iPods with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on a single computer. There is no limit for the number of iPhones and/or iPods that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on a single computer.

How to sync ipod touch & iphone on same machine ?

Greetings to all from the Greekislands !
I'm a new member here,Bought an ipod touch 2nd gen. last year,very happy with it.Just bought an iphone 3gs 32 gb.Even happier...Hands down...iphone rocks !
One question, my ipod touch is 16 gb,my iphone is 32 gb,I already have 20 + gb on iphone....How do i sync both from the same machine ?
Any info much appreciated !

Each of the panes in iTunes allows you to sync only selected playlists, ringtones, podcasts, movies, photo albums, contact groups, applications, etc. iTunes will treat your iPhone and your iPod as completely separate and distinct devices and you can sync each as you like. The choices you make for your iPod can be the same or completely different from your iPhone choices.
I have over 5800 songs in my iTunes library, but only 1030 of them on my iPhone. I use several playlists and sync my music by choosing to sync selected play lists in the music tab.
Several playlists never change, these are my favorites. I have another playlist that I use to cycle songs on and off the phone. I add and delete songs from this playlist frequently.
If you haven't used playlists before, watch this video tutorial: http://www.apple.com/itunes/tutorials/#video-createplaylists
You can also elect to manually manage your music and videos on your iPhone. Select “Manually manage music and videos” in the iPhone's summary pane in iTunes to turn oﬀ automatic syncing in the Music and Video settings panes. See “Manually Managing Content” on page 73 of the manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
I personally think the playlist method is easier, but others prefer the manual method. I prefer not to use the check and uncheck procedure as unchecked songs are ignored by iTunes for most anything.
Here are two articles about syncing that may help you.

HT4557 I don't seem to be able to sync new Ipod Touch 4 with existing Itunes Account on my laptop which is used for ipod nano.

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I use my itunes account to sync my Ipod nano on my laptop. My daughter has just got an Ipod Touch 4th generation. She wishes to sync her music to my itunes library. When I connected her Ipod to my itunes it is not offering an option to sync to itunes account. I understand that it should be possible but don't know how to go about it. Appreciate any help.

Does iTunes see the iPod? If not
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer
The iPod touch uses different drivers than the Nano
