ITunes sync with different Apple IDs

I've got iTunes on my Mac, with my personal Apple ID and content purchased with it, and sync a couple personal iOS devices with it.  All is good.
Now here's the complication.  My wife's business has a couple iPads that are currently synced with a Windows machine at her office.  I need an easier way to maintain them, though, and would like to sync them with my personal machine instead.  But they have content purchased with the Apple ID I set up for my wife's business...  is it possible to sync all these devices and their content with the same machine, despite having two different Apple IDs involved?  Or am I stuck using one machine for my personal stuff and a different machine for the business stuff?
Thanks in advance!

yes.
a single iTunes can be authorized for up to five Apple ID's. this should work:
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for both Apple ID's
2) connect the devices (one after the other) and right-click or control-click them in the iTunes Devices list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPads but, since you transferred the purchases in the previous step, your content will be in iTunes and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
once this is done, the iPads will be associated with your Mac's iTunes library.

  • ITunes Match with different apple IDs

    If I purchase itunes match, will my wife and I both have access to the collection, even though she has a different apple ID than I do?  I have an iPhone 4 and she recently purchased an iPhone 5. 

    No, she must sing into the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase the service.

  • ICloud and iTunes Match with different Apple IDs

    I won't bore you with how it happened, but I ended up with two AppleID accounts using two different email addresses, one for iCloud (upgraded from MobileMe) and one for iTunes.  I enabled iTunes Match before realizing this, and now my iPhone and iPad won't work with iTunes Match. If I change the iPhone/iPad to use the iTunes account, I don't have iCloud.  Can I merge two accounts?  Or is there a way to change my iTunes Match to the same account used for iCloud?
    Help!

    I tried doing this because I have the same problem, but I can't log in to iCloud with my regular apple ID. For some reason it needs to be an email address.  Any other ideas?

  • HT204053 Can you sync pages files on different devices with different apple ids?

    Can you sync pages files on different devices with different apple ids?  I have a personal iPad and one given to me for work. They are set up with two different apple IDs.  I do all of my lesson plans in pages.  I want to be able to create plans on both devices, but need to know if there is a way to sync the files without emailing, etc.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, that's not possible. A better way of working around this than emailing the documents to yourself is to use a third party storage solution such as Dropbox and a webDAV server to upload the documents.

    iTunes content can be commingled in the iTunes library on a computer and synced to iOS devices. The computer must be authorized to use the content from the respective Apple IDs in the iTunes Store menu.

  • Can you use 2 apple tvs on the same network with different apple ids and how would your devices know which apple tv to stream to?

    Hi,
    I was looking into purchasing 2 apple tvs and was wondering if they can be setup with different apple ids. I need to have mine setup with my id and be able to hook my devices to it , but have the one in a bedroom hooked to a different apple id and have my friend's devices stream to that one and not mine.  Is this possible?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order that your Apple TV only streamed from your iTunes Library and your friends to your friends, you would both have to have different homesharing ID's.
    So far as devices go, any device on a network can stream over AirPlay to an Apple TV, to ensure each of you couldn't stream to the others device you can enable a password via the Apple TV which would then need entering when you used a device for AirPlay.
    Shouldn't be a problem to do what you want to do.

  • Can i use 2 ipad's on the same itunes account with different apple accounts?

    Both me and partner have an ipad 4. Though we only have one computer, can we use the same itunes but with different apple acount without any issues? We use some of the same apps, but my partner plays fx Baldus Gate and is worries that save files will be corrupted.

    Each iPad should be linked to its owner's personal, private and nonshared AppleID. In the Mac, each one should have a different login account so each has their own iTunes Library containing your iPad's details. When you use iTunes on the Mac, since each logs in with a different login and corresponding Home directory, iTunes picks up the correct AppleID.

  • HT1491 I have two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's.  How can I merge them into one?

    I ahve two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's.  How can I merge them into one account?

    Apple has no provisions for this. You cannot merge multiple Apple ID's into one ID. Content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

  • Loading Apps and PDFs to multiple iPads with different Apple IDs

    Hello,
    We are deploying 200+ iPads to our business and we are configuring each of the devices individually on-sight. We have received each employee's Apple ID and password for these corporate devices.
    We want to load 7 free apps to each iPad and a variety of PDFs to iBooks before we deploy the devices. We have experimented with Apple Configurator for the Apps and iTunes for the PDFs and run into a few problems.
    Apps:
    When we loaded these 7 free apps using Apple Configurator from a Macbook Pro to an iPad with a different Apple ID, we had no problem. The iPad user was able to download other apps using their own Apple ID without any issues. The problem came when we tried to update these originally loaded apps. When the user is prompted to update, the Macbook Pro user's Apple ID showed up with the update and there was no way to get around that even though the device was logged into the iPad owner's Apple ID in the settings.
    Is there a way to push multiple apps from one device to another without have two different Apple IDs sitting on the one device?
    PDFs:
    A similar problem happened with iTunes and iBooks. When we pushed PDFs from the Macbook owner's iTunes to the iPad, there was no problem. When the iPad user tried to upload some of her own PDFs from her Apple ID in iTunes, the originally loaded PDFs were wiped.
    Is there a way for both sets of PDFs to stay on the device in iBooks without either getting wiped?

    I don't really have any solutions other than uploading the files to cloud storage such as drop box, google, or skydrive and then sharing them to all the users.

  • Remote missing - iPad synced with different apple tv

    I have an Apple TV that I grabbed as I left for leaving for vacation. Forgot the remote. Realized the ATV is not synced with my iPad either. I have 2 Apple TV units synced with different iPads. Unfortunately left with the wrong
    iPad. Forgot the remote which makes it complicated.   Is it possible to work around this even with the Apple TV username and password and iPad being different ID?   Downloaded remote app from Apple but I'm stuck. 

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, you would need the original remotes to do what you want. You could purchase one if you have access to a near by Apple store, but you may find it won't work any way, with the wifi your hotel provides.

  • I have 2 iPhones, from different carries and different numbers. Both with different apple ids and somehow I can still texts sent from both phones to other iPhones and I don't know how to fix it.

    I had an iPhone from Verizon, and i got another iPhone from us cellular. I'm giving my old iPhone to my friend, and somehow we can both see each other's messages sent to other iPhones. Both have different apple ids and numbers. How do I fix this?

    You probably activated the new phone will the old phone was still active. That would have linked the two numbers to iMessage. Go into iMessage and turn them off on each phone. Then turn iMessage on for your phone. When it activates, go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and see what numbers/email addresses are linked there. It should just be the current phone number and if desired, your Apple ID email address.
    Then have the other person turn their iMessage back on and when it activates see if it now only brings their current phone number and again if desired Apple ID email address.
