Multiple accounts in one household.

My wife and I have had accounts since before we met. She is American and has a US account and I am British and mine is a UK account.
I understand that each country has its own store but how much sharing can we have and what are the restrictions using our own iTunes libraries, Apple devices, and a common Apple TV.
For example, I think I can have both mine and my wifes accounts authorized on my computer but does that bring in the 90 day restriction if I try and freely log onto each account?
I also think that I would hit the same problem if I tried to set up the Apple TV for both accounts? I dont want to try it and find I am locked out for 90 days.
I want to be able to have all our purchased and joint CD collection in one master library on one machine. What problems will I hit if I try using current technology communications such as Homeshare or should I just simply resign myself to copy and paste onto both machines using external drives?
Any pointers gratefully received. 

You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores and have separate IDs for other services such as iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.  The ID used for purchasing does not need to be the same as the one used for these other services.  Just enter the same ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores.  (If you need to change it on one of the phones, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the other ID.)

    can there be multiple accounts on one id?

    Unfortunately you can't do the logical and convenient thing of authorizing a computer with multiple Adobe IDs that are active simultaneously.
    You can authorize accounts from different vendors; one account per vendor.
    If you have multiple operating system users set up on the computer,  you can register different OS users as different Adobe Account users.

    I have 3 i phones.  Can I have multiple accounts on one computer where it keeps the contacta and calendar for each?

    My daughter and I both have iphones. I created an account (not separate itunes) for her on my computer so she could sync her phone/itunes but not have it interfere with mine since we have WAY different taste in music. Creating a different computer profile should work if you have separate itunes accounts, too.
    If you all use the same itunes account, you can turn on Home Sharing. That way you can all download the same content without having to pay for it again. Not sure how or if that works with separate itunes accounts.
    Hope that helps!

  • Can there by multiple accounts under one id?  I just loaded a $25 gift card and it showed up in my balance.  My daughter, under the same id had $12.0 left from a previous gift card.  Now only the $12.01 shows up and the $25 is nowhere to be found?

    Can there be multiple accounts under one apple id?  My daughter and wife apparently share an id between my daughter's ipod and my wife's ipad.  My daughter has what she believes is her $12.01 left from a gift card.  My wife loaded a $25 gift card recently (I saw the $25 balance in her account when she was done) and after a password change, now all that shows up is the $12.01?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

    Can I access music from multiple accounts on one cpu

    Here's one option: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12366
    But frankly you'd be better off creating unique user accounts on the computer and having seperate iTunes libraries for each user as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495

  • Multiple accounts on one computer

    How to set up multiple accounts in itunes

    This is from the link John Galt gave:
    "If you share your computer with other people, you can maintain separate user accounts for each person who uses the computer. This is useful especially if each user has different tastes in music or other media; users can maintain separate, personalized iTunes libraries and can customize their devices' sync settings accordingly."
    Which only works if all user accounts use the SAME iTunes account. This is not what the original question was. I have 2 iTunes accounts and 1 Mac. I have 2 user accounts setup and each account uses a seperate iTunes account. The problem is since they introduced this ridiculous 90 day rule when switching iTunes accounts this no longer works. I was happily using my current acount and when I switched to the older account to download my old movies I bought on it I got hit with the "you have to wait 90 days before switching iTunes accounts" when I tried to go back to my original account.
    This has broken and ruined what used to be a great system. Let me explain:
    Back in 2000 when you bought a DVD you could take this DVD with you to your friends house and pop it in their player and enjoy the movie.
    Fast forward to future where no-one wants shiny disc or any other physical medium you go to your friends place and log into your account and watch the movie that way. Simple easy... till the 90 day rule.
    I fully understand the logic behind it (protecting their IP), but it breaks the system for legit users. Copyright has always stood in the way of progress. There isn't a single copyright protection on shiny disc that has not been broken. All that engineering effort, time and money and you can download a free app to break it.
    You cannot stop piracy, just like you cannot stop thieves. You can however try and catch them AFTER the act and punish them. This 90 day rule is like not allowing you to walk into the same store more than once in 3 months in case you might have stolen something the first time you where there. It's a stupid way to prevent something that is un-preventable.
    There are many ways to get around the 90 day rule for people that do want to pirate someone elses library, but it does completely block someone who is just trying to use his own purchased media in a legit way. Stupid...
    I am now forced to own 2 seperate computers just to access my 2 iTunes accounts.

  • What are the options to use itunes with multiple accounts on one computer

    I am totally confused; apple phone support seems to have no clue at least the person I spoke to. I want to get two iTunes accounts on one computer, one exists already. I am not sure what apple allows in this case. I was told at a apple store that if you create another PC profile you should be able to get the second iTunes account on the same computer with the new windows profile. There seems to be no info on the discussions board to this issue.
    I do not want to share an account and have a second library I think it would be too confusing for the other person. Is this possible?

    You can purchase music using multiple accounts within the same Windows profile & using the same iTunes library. I think when you log into the store it remembers the last account name used, but provided you don't let it remember your password then you have the opportunity to enter the correct details for each purchase.
    If you're going to place these purchases on your respective iPod's the following may help.
    *How to use multiple iPods with one computer*
    The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
    e.g.
    "Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
    "Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
    Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
    etc.
    I currently manage our family's five iPods using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their iPod. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.

  • Multiple Accounts on One Email ID

    hello skypers, 
    I have recently tried to recover my password and was asked for my email address which i gave, and shortly received an email for reset token, as got redirected to the password change page, they said there are multiple accounts register on my Email ID, and when i checked the skype names registered on my ID, there are 5 skype names amoung which only one is actually mine.
    Point is how 5 accounts possibly got registered on my email address when i have not received any authentication email for those. And somehow if all those accounts have been registered how can I get rid of those fake accounts which are ofcourse not mine?
    help!

    Hi, ZohaibSyed, and welcome to the Community,
    Please contact Skype customer service for assistance in unlinking these unwanted accounts from your registered e-mail address.  In theory, you could also change the passwords for these rogue accounts, take control of them, and then file a request with Skype Customer Service that the accounts be removed/deleted.
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • Multiple accounts on one computer - one or multiple licenses?

    I have one simple question about the limitations of the Adobe Muse (and other) product. I do understand that I can install it on two computers and use both but not at the same time. Fine. However, On one of my machines I have different accounts for different purposes. Still, it is only me that is using them. Does the activation in each account on the same machine (I'm talking about Apple here) count towards these two installations or not. In other words, can I enable an Adobe Muse license on e.g. two accounts on one machine and still have it installed and active on my laptop?

    Means the licensing is not computer based as stated but based on a individual account on a computer.

  • Can you have multiple accounts in one library?

    I've had two iTunes accounts for several years now, and it was never a problem on my old laptop--I needed the second account because I wanted to use a giftcard from outside the US, and the credit refused to apply to the US iTunes store.  However, I replaced my computer about a month ago, and the new version of iTunes won't download my iTunes purchases automatically.  When I try, it says it's already associated with another account, and it will add restrictions if I set it to automatically download purchases.  I don't know what this means, but I'd like a way around it.  I don't want to have multiple libraries (which seems to be the only way I've seen other people on the forum use multiple accounts); there's music on both accounts that I listen to all the time.  I've been stuck working off of two computers for a month now, and it's getting frustrating.  Help?

    To elaborate a bit more. The public class must match the filename, however you can declare "inner" classes.
    An inner class can be declared inside another class, or even inside another method. Where you declare that class dictates the scope it will have. However, the lack of an ability to declare these classes public (a public class must be declared inside a java file with the same name), means that they are not visible anywhere else. However, they do still have plenty of uses.
    Declaring a class inside a method is used rarely, but would look something like
    public void foo(Bar myBar = new Bar
            private String baz = "Hello";
            public String doSomething()
                 return baz;
         myBar.doSomething()
    }This declares and implements the class Bar inside the method header. Sure, this is a pretty useless example, but you could put any methods or variables inside your inner class, and they would be available only during execution of that method. (ie. only have method scope).

    I have dollars to my credit in the American store and a 10,000 yen gift card to the Japanese store.
