ITunes Account Transfer On Device

I got my iPhone 3GS from Fed-Ex on Monday, and my brother got his hands on it and unbricked it on his PC, and now whenever I try to download/update an app, it requires his iTunes password, which he refuses to tell me or assist me with. Anyway I can use MY iTunes account instead of his to download apps and update them on my phone?
Thanks in advance,
James

I synced but I have not restarted my phone. I will try that now.
P.S.
After I synced, I tried to install the new FML app (the apps my brother synced over are outdated) and it required his password.
Restarting phone and will update when done.
UPDATE: Still no luck. Rebooted and re-synced and still requiring his password.
About to try restoring the phone to it's default state.

Can I share an iTunes account with multiple devices?

I had an iPhone 3GS. Just upgraded to an iPhone 5C. I'd like to save the 3GS for our daughter to use as an iPad Touch. I realize that I'll need to wipe the 3GS clean and start over with new apps for her. I have a few questions:
Can I use my same iTunes account for both devices, or must I create a new iTunes account for my daughter's app and music purchases?
How do I change the device name in iTunes, so that her iPhone no longer bears my name?
Also, can I sync both devices on the same computer, or is it better to use different computers for the two devices?
Thank you!

Agile,
Any of the above will work, depending how you would like to set it up.
Given that kids tend to eventually grow up and be independent, the best long term answer for most people is to let her have her own account and her own library as soon as she can handle it. Keep in mind that content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, so separating later is a challenge.
If you want to sync multiple devices to the same library, that will work. Or if you want separate libraries (as I would recommend), they can be either on separate computers or on separate Windows user accounts on the same PC.
For the name change: Connect the device. When the name appears in the left sidebar of iTunes, highlight it and change it.

We have three Ipads in our house. We have one itunes account with multiple devices like two Iphones and Apple TV. My question is about our three Ipads. How can I set up the imessaging and facetime on all three devices while only using one Itunes acct

Okay. We have three Ipads in our house with only one Itunes account. When I go into imessaging and facetime on each of the devices, it wants to start switching my wife's cell phone and then the three emails associated with each Ipad to the contact information for all of the Ipads. As of this morning, only the imessaging and facetime are turned on my wife's iphone and ipad. My kids imessaging and facetime is turned off. Do you really have to have an itunes account for each device to make then work??? Any help would be very much appreciated.

There is only one solution. Each user must have their own separate user account. All of their respective data would be contained in their separate user accounts. This also means each will have a separate iTunes Library. If you all use the same third-party apps, then each will have to purchase their own copies under their own Apple IDs. Some data sharing is possible. See:
iTunes- How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
iTunes- How to share music and video

Sharing one iTunes account between 3 devices and a Time Machine

I have a iphone 4S
i have an Imac
I have a Time machine
I have a macbook
I have Apple TV - hard wired to the TV
All devices are using the latest versions of OSX and IOS
My Iphone syncs with the imac Itunes account
All my Music is on the Time Machine which is connected to my router (virgin Broadband)
The itunes account on the Imac is aware my music folder is on the time machine.
My question is - how do i get to use my Itunes account on the Macbook and update playlists and Playcounts on the Iphone and Imac?
I want to be able to play my music on the time machine from any of my apple devices and it update one music Library.
Is there a way i can do this?
Regards and thanks for your time

You can sync your music to each of your devices using the iMac which is referencing the library on your itunes. So all good there. If you want to share the information amongst all your devices then home Sharing will do it. But only if you are in your own network.
If you want to use the same klibrary on your Macbook as your iMac you can point it at the Library on the time capsule.
If you want the content on your Macbook then Home Sharing between computers will let you copy it but it will not copy over playlists etc
Using home sharing you have to have itunes open on your iMac so that the other devices can see it. Also ensure that sleep is not set for your computer.

One itunes account. 2 devices with1 icloud account. Want 2 icloud accounts

I have 1 itunes acct. I have and iphone and an I pad both with the same icloud address. I want the 2 devices to have separate icloud accounts. How do I change the account on just one without removing the account from the other?

Create a new apple id here (a NEW one)
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US
And use it on the iPad settings. The iPad will lose access to contacts, emails, or calender events that were tied to the original apple ID. Do the same for messages and iTunes on the iPad device. All those areas are under settings.
Don't mess with the iPhone and it won't be impacted.

My husband and I have separate iTunes accounts and multiple devices (iPads, iPhones, iPods etc) how do we share our music and apps between our devices if we have different iTunes accounts.

Help! My husband and I have multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod ) that we we have linked to individual iTunes accounts ie he has his account with iPad, iPhone, PC and iPod linked/sync and I have my account with iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, PC etc.. How do we share our music and apps across/between our accounts?

It probably means that only one of you can use iCloud or at least sync calender/contacts with it. I would guess that you could manually manage the other phone as you have before.

How can I create additional IDs but use one iTunes account on multiple devices to purchase music?

Is it possible to have a "family" iTunes account that we all share but have a different Apple ID for 2 daughter's iPods and a different Apple ID for mom's iPhone?

Only iTunes running on a computer can be authorized to use more than one Apple ID. I don't know what the limit is if there is one.
iOS devices* can only be configured to use one Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store. (However, a separate Apple ID can be used for iCloud services like mail, calendar, contacts etc., but that is a separate issue.)
Home Sharing can only be configured to use one Apple ID at a time so if you want to use Home Sharing to connect an iOS device to an iTunes library or to connect multiple computers to an iTunes library you can only do it with one Apple ID.
So, with all that in mind, yes you can create separate Apple IDs for everyone but it will affect what you can do with the apps and media you purchase from iTunes. If everyone shares a family account then there will be no restriction on who can play, install or share the media or apps. If you create separate accounts there will be restrictions on what can be shared or installed on the various devices.
A family will benefit from sharing a family account that everyone has access to. If you have parental concerns about restricting access to certain apps/media for younger children than a separate account shared by the children may be the answer.
*iOS devices are iPod Touchs, iPads, iPhones and Apple TVs.

How do i use my itunes account on another device?

My phone was recently stolen so I borrowed an old 3G from a friend to use until the new iPhone launches. How can I download apps, etc. using my iTunes account on my friend's old device?

If your friend's account is still logged in on it then tap on it in Settings > Store and log out of it and then log in with your account. You can then re-download your apps via the Purchased tab at the bottom of the App Store app (though you may be limited as to which apps you can re-download depending upon what iOS version the phone is on and the app's minimum requirements), and also ibooks and (depending upon which country that you are in) potentially music and tv shows/films : re-downloading.

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.

Multiple iTunes Accounts on One Device

I have an iPad I got through work and a personal iPhone at home. Each have their own iTunes accounts. Is it possible through Home Sharing to purchase apps through my personal account and install them on my work iPad without wiping out the apps associated with my work account? Thanks.

Change my itunes account and all devices to a new pc

Hi I was wondering how I can change over everthing that has to do with my itunes to my new laptop. Me and my wife have several apple devices. We both have Iphones and 3 ipod touches plus just purchased and ipad. I have a new laptop and transfered all my apps, music and books with software I purchased. I'm sure I have everything I need on my new pc. I have folders set up on my phone and ipod and want them to stay the same, when i synced my ipod all the contact info was there but my folders are missing or are empty and the apps are all in different places. With my old itunes account I could sync so my ipod was set up the same as my phone and it worked great but now I'm scared to sync my phone on my new pc and undo all my folders and have everything messed up. Also my wife has her phone and ipod organized different than mine and she wants hers to stay the same also. I guess what I want is for Itunes on my new pc to act like it did on my old pc. I would like to be able to sync my ipod so it has the same folders,contacts,music and apps as my phone, and be able to sync my wifes ipod so she has the same folders, contacts, music and apps as her phone. I was planing on giving away my old laptop to someone who could use it so I really dont want to keep it just so I can use it for itunes. Thanks for any help.

All iTunes purchases are permanently attached to the account used to obtain them and can't be transferred.
I would suggest you relocate your iTunes library onto a drive big enough to hold it all, with room for growth, and obtain a second to act as a backup.

Can I download from different iTunes accounts on one device

Hi,
I am interested in buying an iPad and would like to know:
1) Is it possible for me to use two iTunes accounts to download apps from two different regions (Canada & China) on one device?
2) If no, is there a workaround or some suggestions?
3) If yes, how can it be done and can I use more than one laptop to manage the iTunes library of this device?
Thanks in advance

Yes. Create a new Windows user account.
