Items purchased using 2 accounts, cant sync?

We purchased several apps and songs using 2 different iTunes account and 2 different computers to an iPhone4.
Now, the old computer is not functional anymore. We are left with the second computer ONLY.
With this said, we cannot authorize the old computer to our iTunes account since the PC wont boot anymore.
I know every iTunes account can authorize up to 5 computers however, if the OLD computer wont boot anymore, how can we authorize our account from a computer that wont open? And we cant save the previously purchased apps?
Is there a way to save all purchased items and transfer them still to iTunes?
Thanks in advance

Thank you, Carolyn.
But the article doesn't answer my question
Problem is, I cannot authorize my account anymore to my old PC.

HT5312 Someone else has been given my old Apple ID. now I can't use items purchased with that account. How do I get it back or change items purchased by me to my new account?

When I requested a new password the e-mail was sent to the old address then the new owner of that address entered their info and I no longer have access to it.

Deleted items reappear on mobile account with syncing?

On a mobile account with syncing, deleted items will reappear after syncing. One can manually do a full sync. Then delete stuff. Then do a full manual sync again and the deleted items are back.
This is on Leopard 10.5.6 client and Leopard 10.5.6 server.
Open to ideas one what I ought to look at.
Best Wishes,
Paul

Paul,
I'm happy I'm not alone (sorry..)
I have exactly the same problem, although I'm using Linux server, not OSX.
It all worked nicely until 10.5.6 upgrade, after that I'm having lots of home sync problems, including:
1. locally deleted items re-appear after sync
2. a lot of sync conflicts, specially when sync cannot resolve latest file or directory version between mobile and network copy (and mobile copy will be always the latest one)
3. huge syncs even if no data has been modified, ie:
I'm syncing all on login and logout, background sync is disabled.
I do login then straight away logout, so practically no data has been modified, but the sync may show me tens of GB being transferred.
Now, this is weird: I've done tests on a freshly created mobile account, with approx 50MB of data. Basically I've logged in and out repeatedly, sometimes modifying small files. Some of the syncs showed me transfer of 60MB!!! That's 10MB more than the size of the home directory!
I've looked through release notes for 10.5.6 and some sync issues were 'fixed'. I'm wondering if other ones were introduced...
As I've said, it all worked perfectly until the latest update - I have many machines behaving in the same, bad way.
Perhaps someone has a solution?
Thanks,
Pawel

In-App purchase using apple account redeemed with iTunes card

I have charged my apple account using iTunes card to buy diamonds from boombeach game. Unfortunately, they didn't allow me to buy diamonds because thay said "apple doesn't allow in-app purchase to be done using iTunes card, you should pay with visa instead". That's exactly wastes my money ! How could I pay with my iTunes card amount. If I cannot do so, how could I refund the price of the iTunes card?
thank you.

You are in the country that you have listed on your iTunes account, you aren't trying to use another country's store ? If you are then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can do anything to stop it requiring payment details : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I have a family with multiple device (9) can I use same account to sync them without sharing contacts I dont want children to have?

I have a family with 9 devices (4 iPhones, 2 iPads, and 3 iPods) can I put these on one account, so I can easily manage their devices. But I do not want to share all information, such as contacts with children or calendars. Is this possible???

Yes.
They all need an ID of their own to log into settings > iCloud but they can use the same ID to log into settings > iTunes & App Stores.

Transfer Purchases between iTunes accounts

On my iPhone, I have several a mixture of applications bought from 2 different iTunes accounts (2 separate email addresses)
Is there any way I can transfer all the applications that were purchased using email account 1 to email account 2?
I no longer use the first iTunes account created and would like to bring all my applications and songs into the one iTunes account?
Cheers
Duncs

I had this same issue.
Simple answer: I couldn't transfer the apps downloaded from the original account. They are associated and linked with that account.
The only thing I could do was to re-download everything with the new, current account. Even paid applications.
If you have a lot of paid applications (or music) associated with the original account, you might be able to get someone from Apple to help you. I didn't own that much that I paid for, so it wasn't a big deal for me.
sorry and good luck.

I can not purchase the same apps as my friend purchased using his ID on my ipad

My ipad was borrowed by my friend, then he signed in to the itunes using his ID and purchased some apps on my ipad.
But now i have signed back using my ID in itunes on my ipad.
The problem is now using my ipad i can not purchase the same apps that he already purchased using his account.
On the itunes store showing as if i have purchased the apps then a pop up message said
"UPDATE IS unvailable with this apple ID
This update is downloaded with a different apple ID. Sign in with that apple ID and try again."
I have reset my ipad and i also have reset all setting in the setting options but it still doesnt help a bit
Can someone please help me with this issue?
Thank you

Is the app currently on your iPad ? If it is then delete it. Then try a soft-reset (i.e. reboot) : 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).
After the iPad has restarted if you then go into the App Store app are you able to buy and download it with your account ?

If you have a backup of your old phone, the backup should include your camera roll photos. Restoring the backup should recover them. This explains how to restore an iCloud backup: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud.

I have 2 iPhone 4S's, one is personal, one purchased by work for me. Can I use the same iTunes account to sync both phones while keeping the contacts that are synced as separate lists for personal phone and work phone, but also allow same apps for both?

I'm hoping someone out there knows if I can use 1 apple ID and 1 iTunes account to sync 2 different iPhone 4S's - one for personal use, and one for work use. I would like to be able to sync with the same music and app's on both, but need to keep the contacts and calendars completely separate between the 2 phones since I don't want personal data on the work phone or work data on the personal phone. Can you help me figure this out?

Yes!
Luckily, if you be very careful and pay attention to what you have selected in itunes, you can separate these things
Basically, in iTunes, there are tabs at the top for Summary, info, apps, etc..
These tabs control PER DEVICE what syncs between itunes and the device.
Therefore, you can plug iPhone 4S #1 in, and select to sync contacts with address book, then do so. Then plug iPhone 4S #2 in, and not choose to sync with address book. iTunes will keep these settings separate. However, in that situation for music and apps, you would check to sync both on both, in order to get all music and apps on each.
The only thing to watch out for, each computer 'user' has only one set of address book and ical, meaning that if you want to sync both phones to the computer, but dont want to mix contacts, only one phone will be able to sync contacts and/or calendars. Basically, each category in the Info tab will only hold one device's information, so you CAN do contacts with iPhone 4S #1, and calendars with #2.

HT3819 Can I authorize mulitple apple ids on the same device so that what is purchased on either account will be loaded in both devices without having to use the same ID?

Can I authorize mulitple apple ids on the same device so that what is purchased on either account will be loaded in both devices without having to use the same ID?
My wife has a laptop and an iphone 4s, I have a laptop and and iphone 4s, our two sons have our old iphone 3s, we have an old laptop for our sons to use. Our old iphones for our sons are deactivated as phones - so they are used as i-touches for songs, pictures and aps. I want to use icloud (which I'm new to) to hopefully have all four iphones and all three computers stay synced with at least music - if not aps and pictures. My wife has an apple ID and I have one. I'd like to authorize all three laptops for both apple IDs so that we will still have our own accounts, but everything either of us buys will be automatically loaded into all three laptops and all four iphones. Can this be done?
Thanks,

Each person in your home can have their own Apple ID provided it is tied the their own separate email address.
iTunes permits up to five authorized computers connected to a single Apple ID: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
For this all to work well, however, each user in your household should have a separate user account on the computer they commonly use.

Is there a way of shifting purchases from one account to another with the same billing information, so that I don't lose purchases made by my iPhone when I sync?

The AOL address I was using for my iTunes account has been deleted due to me not signing in for awhile and I'm afraid that I will lose all of my purchases made from my iphone when I sync it into iTunes for a much needed update and so that I can (hopefully) transfer its data to my new iPhone 4...
The only time I have synced my current iPhone was when I activated it but since then I have not been able to sync with my computer and now have a new one.
Sorry about the garbled way this is written but I desperately need help:
1, Is there a way of shifting purchases from one account to another with the same billing information?
Or
2, is there a way of recovering my old account and changing the details?
Any other help is greatly appreciated
Thom

You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with outlook to get all contacts. I've also set up my earthlink mail account and it sends/receives fine. IS there a way to sync it so I get all of the legacy emails sitting in the OUtlook inbox?

I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with Outlook to get all contacts, etc. I've set up the mail account and it is working just fine. The sync doesn't pull over legacy emails from Outlook and my Outlook has been set up to remove them from the webmail server therefore they aren't available from webmail anymore. Is there anyway to pull them over to the iPad?

But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find
out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a
timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the
project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but
I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of
never finding it again.)
I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
something) of every single file.
There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
Peace

Cant sync iPod touch. comes up with "cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (21.6MB required, 304.8MB available)." I am so confused. I have more than enough space even on PC.
