Multiple apple Id app transfer

Currently we have one ios device, and planning to have another with a different apple id. we want to use the apps we already purchased on the first ios device, and bring them over them to the second, without having to repurchase them. I have prepaired a seperate itunes library on my computer to seperate apps from different accounts already, but when i try to upload/move an app to the new library, it wont accept it. will we have to login the second ios device to the original apple id, in order to get the purchased apps, then login to the new apple id? do i have to authorize the two accounts so it doesn't matter? I feel a little confused...

Multiple Apple ID's on Single Mac - Manually choose Apps to Sync

Scenario:
1 MacBook Pro, 3 iPhone 4s's.
3 Separate Apple ID's
Different Apps purchased on different Apple ID's.
Question:
How can I tell iTunes not to sync apps on a particular iPhone individually.
e.g. I download Videostar on iPhone 1, but no other iPhone, I use it, I then want to keep the app in iTunes but not on the iPhone,
In other words, I want to manually choose what apps I have on each of my iPhones irrespective of what iTunes has a record of having been synced with the iPhone before.
At the moment on iTunes 11.1.3(8), when I sync an iPhone, all the apps I ever had on it are put back on whether I want to or not.
There used to be a tick box in previous versions to choose what apps to sync per iPhone?
Has that gone now?
All I see is the "Will Install" and "Install" options, no "Do Not Sync" option, not even a "Remove" option.
Thanks....
Adrian.

Why do you have 3 Apple IDs?
Apple IDs cannot be merged and items bought with one Apple ID cannot be transfered to another. A computer can only be associated with one Apple ID every 90 days for automatic downloads, re-downloading of past purchases or iTunes Match. There is no getting around this restriction.
One computer can be autorized to play content purchased with multiple Apple IDs, though.
My suggestion is to pick on Apple ID and stick with it for the future. Once you have decided, log into one of the other Apple IDs and download every avialble item you bought with that ID to your computer. Wait 90 days. Log into the other ID and do the same thing. Wait 90 days. Finally log into the "main" Apple ID and stay logged in. Keep current backups of all your purchased items on a local, external HDD.

I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones

Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
cheers

They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
Not a great solution.
Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

I have multiple apple ids was backing up everything to iCloud from iPhone 5. I just bought iPhone 6 and perform a iCloud restore. I received a message that all files did not restore. How can I restore apps, files manually?

Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

HT203433 Hi! I am so stumped with having multiple apple ID accounts now when I try to do an update on my iPhoto app it tells me to log into the account I used to purchase that app. I have tried going into my other accounts. Please help.

App Store Up-dates error message possible multiple Apple ID's

I have just purchased a Macbook pro and have just seen on the Apps icon on the screen that I have 2 up-dates available, one for garageband and the other for iphoto. I tried logging in using my apple ID username and password but i keep getting an error message stating:
"You have updates available for other accounts.To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."
I googled the apple ID error and it led me to the apple support side where I could find out if i had multiple apple ID's linked to the same email address. It came back with 3 accounts linked to my email address.
I have found the username's for all 3 accounts and changed the passwords to all the same and then tried to log in to Apps on the macbook but can't seem to do it.
I was wondering if it's possible to delete Apple ID's so I only have one account. What i have noticed is that when using my iphone the old app's I have to log into my old Apple ID to download up-dates, whereas the newer apps on my phone I have to use my email address as the username.
Wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing as I am stumped

Totally agree and will keep using the different login methods on my iphone.
can't seem to still get up-dates on macbook pro apps yet I can login using my apple id and password and still purchase apps.

Control multiple apple tv units with 1 remote app

Is it possible to control multiple apple TV units with 1 remote app on an iPhone/iPad? I have apple tv at home, set up under my own personal apple id. I have an apple tv unit at work which I want to use, but that uses our work apple id. can I control both units without having to log out of my personal id and then log into the work one?

On the ATV menu itself there is an option to name the ATV.
Does that not do it for you?

Can you share songs and apps but use multiple apple ID's?

Can you share songs and apps but use multiple apple ID's?

hmm, that's a trick one! what I would do is go to Messages>preferences>accounts and then select imessages and then select account details and then sign out. Then your wife will need to sign in with her apple id.
hope this helps!!
let me know if that works because I've never actually tried it.
simply adding both of your accounts to be reached at will prove to be faulty because when you reply you can only reply with the one email address. And even if you switch caller id's it probably still won't work. So I think my method would be the easiest way to do that at this time.

Can I set up my new iPad as new device with my original Apple id then transfer which apps etc I want later from my cloud, thank you

You can download the apps again by opening App Store app on the iPad and tap Purchased at the bottom. That will display all apps that you have previously purchased on that Apple ID and you can download any of them by using the icon to the right of each (icon of a cloud with a down arrow).

My father accidentally sent me an APPLE (not App or iTunes) Store gift card instead of iTunes, is there any way I can transfer the money to my iTunes? I've tried almost everything.

Multiple Apple TV devices - Label on Remote app?

I have several Apple TV devices on my home network & I use Apple Remote app on my iPhone. Is there any way of labelling the different Apple TV devices listed in Remote app since I am having to do guess work to find the one that works on the Apple TV device I am using.

On the ATV menu itself there is an option to name the ATV.

Multiple Apple ID management

I would like to get a little more info on how Apple envisions multiple Apple ID management in families and businesses.
When the IDs first appeared, they were just used to buy equipment. Since the value of the purchase was a tangible physical object, the purchase method didn't matter much. When iTunes started selling tracks, ID management became a bit more of an issue, but since the amounts involved were small and the purchases were usually personal, it wasn't a big deal. Now with the app store and more expensive purchase of both professional and personal nature, it becomes rather complicated.
Here are a few scenarios:
A business where the equipment, OS and software are tied to a business account, but the employee can use his personal account to sync his music, iOS apps, etc.
A household where the parents handle the hardware/software, but the kids have their own individual music/iApp allowance.
When I purchase a 3-license program from a software manufacturer, I can install it on any 3 machines, regardless how they were purchased. but with the app store, they must all be linked to one Apple ID.
On a related note, can you transfer a license for an app purchased in the app store (aka sell used software)?

Thanks Dah-veed.
I'm fully aware that this is a user forum, but often you get better answers from users than from Apple.
I was curious to see how other people with multiple computers/multiple users manage their Apple IDs.
To answer my own question, it's possible to install a purchased app on "any*" computer using the Apple ID used to make the purchase. So the computer does not need to be exclusively linked to an Apple ID. (* other terms restrict which computers. So the EULA is more restrictive that the technical limitations)
http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html (about 2/3 down) explains a little better what the use restrictions are and what Apple means by "own and control":
MAC APP STORE PRODUCT USAGE RULES
Except as otherwise set forth herein,
You may download and use an application from the Mac App Store (“Mac App Store Product”) for personal, non-commercial use on any Apple-branded products running Mac OS X (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control.
(ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download a Mac App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on each of the Mac Computer(s) used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals on a single shared Mac Computer that you own or control. For example, a single employee may use a Mac App Store Product on both the employee’s desktop Mac Computer and laptop Mac Computer, or multiple students may serially use a Mac App Store Product on a single Mac Computer located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each Mac Computer used serially by multiple users requires a separate license.
(iii) Use may require sign-in with the Apple ID used to download the Mac App Store Product from the Mac App Store. Mac App Store Products can be updated through the Mac App Store only.
And further down:
This license granted to you for the Licensed Application by Licensor is limited to a nontransferable license to use the Licensed Application...
Not being able to resell software is a big drawback for more expensive programs. License transfers have long been accepted by major software developers. The process is not worth the trouble for a cheap app, but when you have $1000 apps, you want to keep that option open. SO I'd think twice before buying an expensive app from the Mac app store.

Multiple Apple Remotes no longer work with Apple TV!

I've been using Apple TVs since the minute Steve Jobs introduced them in 2007. I bought the 2nd and 3rd Generation Apple TVs the minute each of them were introduced. I've been watching every Apple Keynote Address since they were available online or on CDs from the early 1990s, on my HDTV via my latest Apple TV when that was possible. I watch far more TV through my Apple TV than via my Cable Box, much of it music and music videos from iTunes on my 2006 Mac Pro! But as of YESTERDAY I am seriously thinking of getting another, ANY OTHER manufacturer's similar internet streaming box!!!
WHY??? Because YESTERDAY, for no apparent reason except some programmer's or software engineer's stupidity, my Apple TV stopped working with all but ONE of my Apple REMOTES!!!
Why is that stupid? Because, in my household there are three people who use Apple TV all day, and each of them have an aluminum Apple Remote which they all use to control what the Apple TV is streaming. We have two other Apple Remotes lying around in case one of us misplaces his or her Apple Remote, which happens occasionally. ALL FIVE of the Apple Remotes, just like the beige plastic Apple Remotes that they replaced, always worked with all three of my Apple TVs! Then yesterday, suddenly, only the LAST Apple Remote that was paired with this 3rd Generation Apple TV is able to control it.
I've spent HOURS trying to fix this. This wasn't caused by an Automatic Update to the Apple TV's iOS; there has been no update in recent days. I've got Automatic Update turned on, just as I, a good Apple citizen, have my Apple TV set up to automatically send back Usage Data to Apple. I've rebooted my Apple TV. I've put brand new 2032 button batteries into my Apple Remotes. I pulled the power cord out of my Apple TV for 15 seconds and again for five minutes and then restarted it. As per instructions, I have Unpaired and re-Paired each and all of my 5 Apple Remotes. All to no avail. Only the last Apple Remote that was paired with the Apple TV works! Horrible. And STUPID, if it was a deliberate programming decision and it was introduced in a minor automatic update.
Worse, I've been using the Remote app on my 5th Generation iPod touch to replace ONE of the unusable Apple Remotes, and as of a couple of minutes ago even THAT stopped working with my Apple TV! Well, I was able to fix that fairly easily by pairing the iPod touch Remote app with my Mac Pro and then pairing it again with my Apple TV. But I don't think that solution would be so easy for many non-technologically-inclined users. I also don't think that a $200 or $300 iPod touch is a very acceptable replacement for a $20 Apple Remote, especially since everyone buys iPod touches for totally different uses (I use mine primarily for taking notes using voice-activated audio or video -- it is by far the best device for that purpose out there -- police departments should take note).
I'm hoping that this multiple Apple Remote problem somehow resolves itself, unless it is a hardware problem with my Apple TV. If so, I can hold out until Apple's media event next week, which I HOPE will premiere a new 4th Generation Apple TV, hopefully which will once again allow my five Apple Remotes to all control my Apple TV interdependently, without having to Unpair and Pair each one each time you wanted to use it, requiring you to quit whichever Apple TV app you were using each time, or alternatively to use Sneaker-Net to deliver the one working Apple Remote to each person who wants to use it, which can be difficult since at least one of the users is very ill! (Whew! A long sentence. But I hope you get the point.)
Two days ago, I could never have imagined myself getting a Roku or an Amazon, Sony, Microsoft or some other streaming device. It just proves how fast a stupid little decision (if it was deliberate) can turn EVERYTHING around!

People have a misconception with remote pairing (as does the description on this page -> Pairing your Apple Remote with your computer - Apple Support).
The 1st paragraph is incorrect.
The 2nd paragraph is correct.
"If you have several Mac computers or an Apple TV that use the Apple remote, or other devices with integrated infrared ("IR") receivers in one room, you can "pair" your Apple Remote with a specific Apple device so it doesn't interfere with other Apple devices or IR devices nearby.
Pairing allows you to set the receiving Apple device so that only it can be controlled by one remote. Learn how to pair your Apple Remote"
Pairing sets the device to read only a specific remote.
It does not set a specific remote to work only with a specific device. ie. if you point th remote at another Apple device (that is not paired) it will control it.

Multiple apple ID's - iCloud drive and google drive?

I've got a variety of apple devices and am trying to work out the best way to keep documents in sync across them all. The ideal solution would be to use iCloud drive but my macbook and iPhone are on one apple ID and my wife iPad and iPhone are on another. I'd like to keep them on separate apple ID's as we have different contact groups and don't want to see iCloud tabs for each other, etc. Plus backing up 4 devices to one iCloud account won't leave much space for anything else and when Microsoft give out 30gb, google give out 10gb the 5gb iCloud allowance is pretty poor.
At the moment we use google drive to store all our documents and just access this on our devices via the drive app. I'd really like to switch to using iCloud drive as it'll mean I can use iWork more than office but there just doesn't seem to be a way to keep documents in sync across multiple apple ID's. Google drive also doesn't cater for iWork file formats so I can't simply save everything in there and just copy over to iCloud drive.
Does anyone have any bright ideas? Are there any third party iOS apps that will let you access items stored in icloud drive? I'd also thought about trying to use automator or applescript to copy a few select documents over to iCloud drive and convert to the iWork formats but I'm quite new to all that so not very sure where to start.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I have a similar problem with this as well. For example, I like to keep the "contacts" of me and my spouse updated on both of our phones. In order for this to happen, I have to sign in to "icloud" on both devices & mac with my apple ID. It would be much better if this could be shared/combined with multiple devices as an option. I don't think "icloud drive" solve's this problem.
