How iTunes works managing multiple iPhones and iTunes with same account

My wife and I each have our own computers using the same iTunes and Amazon account. I want to know how the download rules work...
For apps
For music
For books
I know that Kindle books appear on both.
I know that you can share music between 5 (?) different devices. Can't remember how that is done right now...
It appears that an app bought on one computer or iPhone must be paid for again on the other. True?
Where is the best place on the Apple site to see answers to these types of questions?

Your iTunes account can be authorised on up to 5 computers at any one time (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420). You can also use home sharing so as to share your content between computers or to listen/watch content on your iOS devices : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 (you can also copy music between computers via home sharing)
As long as you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy/download them then you don't have to pay to re-download (or download on different computers/devices) past purchases of apps or ibooks (or music if you are in the USA) as long as they are still available in the store : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
You can also manually copy music/apps/ibooks/films/tv shows between computers and then do File > Add File To Library (or Add Fold) in iTunes so as to add them.

How to manage 2 iPhones one iTunes account and a shared iPad on iCloud?

My wife and I both have iPhones with separate contact lists but share the same iTunes account. To complicate matters further we also have a shared 'Family iPad'. I have updated my iPhone and iPad to iOS 5 and iCloud. I am unsure what will happen when I update her phone to iOS 5 and iCloud? Will it replace one of our contact list with the others or will it merge the lists resulting in lots of duplicates on both our contact lists? To be honest I'm happy to share calendars, photos, music etc.. But don't want to wipe one of our contact lists. Any advice on how I can manage this going forward so we can both use our iPhones but share the iPad?

I updated iOS 5 to my own phone and my iPad. When I updated it on my wife's phone I made sure I selected for it not to sync contacts, calendars etc... With iCloud when asked during install. once it was installed on my wife's phone I then went into settings and turned on the each thing individually that we wanted to share ie it's useful when she adds a calendar date that it appears on all our devices. However, I left off syncing her contacts with iCloud so we retain separate contacts. Problem is that with you iMessage with people from the iPad it goes to both her phone and mine? Think it may be time for a genius appointment.

Need help managing two iphones, two iTunes accounts, and one music library

We have digitized all our music and it's successfully set up on an external hard drive. This is all great for me, as my iphone is synced to my iTunes account, so everything is set.
Problem is my husband set up his own iTunes account with his iphone and now he wants to access the music on our home computer/iTunes account.
So what we have is:
USER A =
computer + digital hard drive w/music (managed by iTunes account A)
iTunes account A
iphone A (synced with iTunes account A)
USER B =
iTunes account B
iphone B (synced with iTunes account B)
iTunes account B = very few music files + lots of Aps
What we want is for USER B to be able to access the computer + digital hard drive w/music (managed by iTunes account A), but retain his Aps that he's purchased for his iphone.
I hope this is clear. Can someone tell us the best way to accomplish getting USER B access to our home music collection?
Thanks!

My problem is similar, except for 3 different devices: IPod Nano, Old style Shuffle, and Iphone 3Gs.
To answer one post as to "why" different accounts... 1 pre-teen user; wife/husband have (maybe) a 10 song overlap in the library, and I have tons of apps.
Ok, all I want to do is play the same stuff on my home computer as on my work computer. There are 3 I-tunes accounts on my home computer (mine is one). My apps/movies and music don't show up on this computer, even though it has been authorized. I have synced the phone, but no changes, even after adjusting the prefs. Oh, and this is a side note, my Outlook calendars are not playing well together either. My home Outlook is "stand alone" while my work calendar is accessed by others all the time and both appts and email are "pushed" to my phone. (This is not a big deal, however)
All I want is to be able to use my home computer to get MY movies and songs onto my I-phone (from the home computer)-- and download new stuff, that once I put on my phone will transfer to my work computer when I plug sync my phone and work computer together.
Honestly, I don't need my wife's stuff or my kid's stuff, nor do I need for them to have my stuff. I don't care if we do share, I just don't want to chew up the memory on my phone with "Kidz Bop Vol 1-99", etc.
My work computer is my primary for my Itunes. If you are still with me, please help. Thanks!

Business with multiple iPhones different iTunes account users

Hello, My office has a difficult situation and I'm hoping you can help.ANY advice or pointers are appreciated. Here's the situation:
We are a small sales office with about 5 employees. My franchise owners have supplied iPhones to each rep. We recently had 2 reps quit. They gave back their iPhones but we can't get the contacts off of them since they are registered to those reps' personal iTunes accounts. I need a new iPhone but they're waiting to get me one until they get the following situation figured out to prevent this problem in the future...
How do we get the contacts off of the iPhones and into one central iTunes account?
If we need the usernames and passwords (like I suspect) then will we be able to grab the contacts and copy them to one central computer? Then they can change their passwords and have that computer deauthorized?
Is there a special way we should set up a new iPhone to prevent this frombeing an issue again?
Anything else we should be aware of?
This is a big issue and I'm hoping to get your feedback! Thank you!

Add an exchange account (I'm not sure what other accounts would work, I've done it with Exchange/Outlook) to the phone you want to get the contacts from. After the account is added go into Settings>Mails,Contacts, Calendars and scroll down to the bottom and select Import Sim Contacts. You can then import these into the email account

I accidentally removed my iPhone from manage devices in my iTunes account. How do I get my iPhone 5s back on as a device to use my account?

Hi jakefrombishop,
If you changed that old ID to your current ID using Manage your Apple ID, try the following to see if it will accept your current password:
1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with your current Apple ID and password. EDIT the ID and change it to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Now on the iPhone, where it is asking for your password to turn off Find My iPhone, type in your current password
3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with the old email address and your current password. EDIT the Apple ID back to your current email address. You may need to verify it again.
Fingers crossed!

HT1766 How can I have multiple iphones on itunes and prevent them from having the info from one ipone going to the other

How can I have multiple iphones on itunes without them sharing contact info

If contacts on each iPhone are being synced direct with the same supported address book app on the computer via the iTunes sync process, deselect Sync Contacts under the Info tab for the iPhones that you don't want synced with the same address book followed by a sync.
If each iPhone is sharing the same Apple iCloud account with Contacts enabled for over the air syncing, each iPhone needs its own iCloud account.

Thanks pvonk, I will try downloanding the book from the Iphone right now.......
Just tried to download and it wants me to buy it again? Is there some way around this? I guess I thought that was the whole point of the cloud, buy it once and access from any of your devices right?
Also, I have logged into the icloud.com as suggested and will plink around there for a bit and try to understand. It is just all so dang different that what I am used to; Apple's way, that is.
Thanks again for the Icloud tip and if you know of a way to download without making a 2nd purchase I would sure love to hear it!
Geez. one other thing (I guess I am complaining) but I bought more space in the cloud, they took my cash fast enough but have not yet increase the size of my storage space yet? Is Apple sometimes slow to get internal stuff done?

By "me" do you mean a MobileMe account? If so, then you can't as MobileMe is going to be terminated at the end of June. What you should look at is an iCloud account.

Managing 2 iPhones with iTunes and one iTunes account and computer...

Hello All!
I already have a 16GB 3G iPhone and we're going to be getting another 3G for my wife (whether it is 8GB or 16GB is still to be decided). On my phone, I have about 13GB used, with the primary source being music. We intend the same iTunes account and there are no other devices using authorizations on this account.
*First, does Apple's licensing of applications allow the second phone using the same iTunes account to download all of the previously purchased applications for free?* In other words, will she be able to download any applications I purchased for free since I have unlimimted free downloads on my phone?
Second, and most importantly, I am wondering how iTunes manages two different iPhones on one computer. This will especially be an issue if she gets an 8GB iPhone since everything that is on my phone will not fit on an 8GB model. She doesn't want or need all of my music, so we could very easily not transfer all of the music. But, I'm just wondering how they will co-exist if they are different sizes and her phone might keep running out of room. If the iTunes software doesn't handle this situation well, we may buy a 16GB model just to make our lives easier. *If someone could provide me with information on how the iTunes software handles multiple phones (especially if they are of different capacities) or links to other websites with information on this topic I would really appreciate it.*
We need to make our purchase in the next month, so I want to know what we are getting into if she decides to get an 8GB model with me having a 16GB one. I just don't want to have a management nightmare. I'd appreciate any help in advance. Thanks!
Jim

I currently have 2 iphones, 1 is a 2G 8GB, the other is a 3G 16GB. I use smart playlists on the 16GB and only sync those playlists. The 8G is set up to manually manage music per my sons request. It would be just as easy to have a playlist set up for him and have it sync only that playlist. So yes, you can absolutely have both on one computer. As far as applications, as long as you are syncing to the same computer/same account, it will allow you to place the app's on both machines. I don't know what the legality of that is, however.

How do I manage multiple Iphone accounts on one computer

My wife desperaely needed to back up her iPhone (been over teo years). I didn't want to do this given that she woulde lose two years worth of data, but we decided to plow ahead. I hit the update button and was advised that there was an earlier backup from last fall. I said I wated to use that back up. Unfortunately it was a backup for my daughter's iphone 5c and now my wife's phone is simply a clone of the 5C. What can I do to pul at least some of her account information back out and show her iPhone again on the devices list?

It certainly is possible.
How to use multiple iOS devices with one computer
A single computer can be authorized for multiple iTunes accounts but only one account can be signed into the store at a time.
Frankly, you are better off with unique Windows User accounts for each user.

Transfering iTunes from old PC and Managing Multiple Devices in 1 Account

Hi,
I have 3 devices (iPhone 4, iPod Touch and iPod Nano). I want to set up iTunes so that I can manage the content for all 3 devices under a single account, but keep the content separate, possibly using Libraries, but I'm not sure what other options are available. The kids refuse to share their music.
My 1st question: What are my options for managing content for 3 devices on a single iTunes account?
My 2nd question: The Touch and Nano were originally set up on iTunes using an old PC, which has since crashed. I'm trying to find a way to recover the data from the defunct PC, but the kids want back into iTunes. How do I migrate the content from the 2 old iTunes accounts to the new account, without access to the defunct PC?
FYI, there's no music on the iPhone and my OS is Windows 7 64bit.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Dave

Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Dave

Multiple iphones, 1 itunes library, 1 account - how to share ratings?

Hi all,
My husband and I share one itunes account, one music library and we log into the computer with one account. We have the same music available on our iphones which we rate - than delete the rest (from the library and the computer).
Problem comes when one syncronizes the phone and ratings which get overwritten by the other's choices. We've tried one of us using the ratings, the other adding a special genre hoping that it would somehow be merged. I am not quite sure though, what's the rule - I would have thought that the ratings are overwritten only if the second one is higher, or genre is updated only if the second one has something chosen or an added comment overwrites the empty area..
We have also tried creating playlists on the phones, adding these playlists to the main library, adding the ratings afterwares, syncronize it with the songs located in the main library.. Not sure what overwrites.
Would anyone have a solution? I'd be much appreciated, thanks!
