Multi-source with one itunes/Mac

I know I can do multi-zone with AirTunes, but it can not do multi-source. Anyone has ideas on how to get two different sources at the same time with one iTunes library? i.e. iTunes radio in one room and downloaded music/video in another at the same time on one Mac.

It sounds like your wife and daughter may need to create an iCloud account to for their own contacts, calendars, notes, etc.

    I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

    Unless you have DRM still haunting your tunes ... Then you can only use those songs on 5 devices. Otherwise, connect as many as you like (as stated above).
    No, you can sync your DRM tracks to an unlimited number of iPods (but only authorized to play on 5 different computers/user accounts)

    So I can sync two iPods to my iTunes account and sync the same digital copy movies that come with some o' my DVDs to both ipods? Do movies make a difference really, DRM-Wise? Thanks in advance.

  • How to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with one iTunes account

    We recently received iPad 2's for Christmas and was looking for some advice on how to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with One iTunes Account (Apple Id).  I have created or attached other e-mail addresses to our apple id but do not know how to use them on the new devices.  Our home MacBook Pro uses our main apple id for FaceTime.  The iPads have been setup with the main apple id w/o being able to use FaceTime and iMessage.
    Please Help...
    I appreciate the help and support.

    P and V-
    If you are trying to connect to someone with a different Apple ID, I think all the devices should work, but one at a time.
    The problem is when you try to connect between two with the same Apple ID.  Once the calling device tries to make the connection, it finds the second device to be "busy".  That is where each needs to use a different E-Mail address when setting it up.
    On iOS devices, when you press the Home button to exit an App, the App may still be active in the background, even when the device is sleeping.  If FaceTime or iMessage is merely being active that way, it may be enough to "tie up" the E-Mail address.
    From the Home screen, double click your Home button.  You will see a list of recent Apps along the bottom of the screen.  Press and hold on one of them until they start to wiggle.  You will then see a red minus sign on each.  Pressing the minus sign will remove an App from the list, and stop it from working in the background.  (Click the Home button to stop the wiggling, and again to hide the recent Apps.)

  • HT1420 I have two email accounts associated with one iTunes account

    I have two email accounts associated with one iTunes account with two passwords,  I guess it happened when i changed my internet service provider. 

    Could be, but i do have an old email account, whis is not used, changed carrriers.  I have noticed that some songs have a cloud with a line through it.  I try to play it and a dialog box from Itunes pops up: "THIS COMPUTER IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO PLAY "THE THINGS WE DO FOR LOVE(SOUND TRACK VERSION, would you like to authorize it?  THe apple ID haxe my old  email address " and an empty block asking for my password.  Well all i know is when you start trying to authorze with an old ID or something of that nature, the account is block and you need to do a new setup again.  And who knows what other problems that will cause,
    I just want the songs (i think there are several songs) assosiated with this old account to move to my new account.
    Any ideas?

  • If I purchased apps with one Itunes account (hotmail) can I convert the apps to an Itunes (ME) account?

    I purchased apps with one Itunes account (hotmail).  I then changed my account sign-in to a different email sign-in (ME) because of iCloud.  Can I easily convert the apps to an Itunes (ME) account when an update for each app occurrs?

    Did you change your existing iTunes account or did you create a new account ? If you updated the existing account then you should be ok.  But if you created a new account, then as apps are tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them and they can't be copied or transferred to a different account, only that original account will be able to download any future updates to them or re-download them on a different device.

  • I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes.  Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?

    I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes.  Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?  I want to stop my husbands downloads appearing on my ipad, and vice versa.

    A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

  • Multiple emails with one itune account

    My husband has an iPhone and I both iPod with one itune account.
    How can we keep out personal settings and information seperate on the cloud?

    Yes, there is a way to use the new apple id with iMessage.  First, go into your settings on your iOS device and click on Messages.  Then, click on recieve at in the messages settings.  You can then click on your apple id at the top and signout.  After, log into your new account.  Your other option is to click add another email and enter your new email for iCloud.

  • My wife and I both have the new iPhones.  Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac?  So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

    If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

  • Why the **** can I only sync my phone with one itunes program. Perhaps I have two computers with music on them that i'd like to add to my iphone,ipad,itouch,ipod. Fix this please thanks.

    Yes. I have no personal experience with this, but it is possible to recover your music from an iPod. See this link: http://guides.macrumors.com/Recovering_Songs_from_an_iPod
