Multiple devices on one itunes

Updated ipad 2 and reboot will not accept my email as my apple id...said "it is already in use" "use another email account" Only have two other devices using my itunes account and I don't want another email account. Was working fine with the same email before this update.

If you are saying that you are trying to use the same Apple ID and iTunes account that you have always used on all devices, then try this ...
Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID and tap sign out. Restart your iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Then go back to Settings>Store>and sign in again and see it that works now.

The two above can be different Apple IDs, mine are.

Divorcing multiple devices from one itunes account

We have one Apple ID / iTunes account with multiple devices attached. I would like to divorce all devices and have each member of the family with their own Apple ID/itunes, but don't want to lose the content (music etc) that has been accumulated over time. How do we do this?

Your iTunes collection is individual to computer, not in the cloud somewhere and synchronizing to your computer from there. In other words, if you delete a file on one computer it will still be on the others until you delete it from there. Likewise, if it is on one computer that is not a guarantee it will be on other computers. The closest to this is some of the automated downloading Apple does if you buy things from them. You will just need to make sure your desktop is really up to date before wiping your media from the other computers.

How to use multiple devices on one itunes account

Connect the iOS device, select it from the left column under "devices" and just don't check those items in iTunes:
Un-check the appropriate boxes for Contacts, etc. You can set these individual preferences for each iPhone and iPod Touch.

Help needed with iMessage on multiple devices on one iTunes account

Hi, please can someone help. I have an iPhone 4S and my wife has an iPhone 4, we are using iMessage with one Apple ID with no problems (I presume as the messages are sent to the phone number), however I have purchased both my daughters an iPod Touch each for Christmas and want to set up iMessage for them so we can all message eachother. We will all be sharing one iTunes account so can share music / movie / app purchases. How do I set this up? Thanks in advance. Richard

However, when I connected my "fresh" iPad, it immediately started to sync (set to automatic sync), and started to put all my 100 or so iPod Touch apps to my iPad....They were all checked.
It's been a while since I connected a fresh iPad, but I believe that doing a full sync is the default. Stopping the sync and changing what apps you wanted was the correct procedure.
So, next time I connect the iPad, it "knows" which apps need to synced, and does not try to sync "all" apps?
Correct. I do that all the time with my two iPads, each of which have a different set of apps, music, videos, etc.
Regards.

Sync multiple devices with one iTunes library without apps

Hi,
I've got multiple iOS devices in the house (not all are mine).
Each person has his own iTunes account with their app purchases, while we share the same iTunes music library under one account on the Mac.
What I want to do is to sync the music on all the devices but NOT sync the apps and NOT keep them on the Mac.
I want that every device has his own set of apps but they are not copied on the Mac. May I just disable syncing of apps and delete them from the Mac?
What happens if I want to restore my device? I should have the apps data in the backup right? But how can I restore the apps themselves? (if the answer is possibile only with iOS 5 and iCloud is fine, because all our devices are going to be updated to iOS 5 and I can wait until its release)
Thanks for your help!

Apps per "playlist"? Using multiple devices to one itunes account.

Hi,
Perhaps it's a silly question...but I run into a sync issue.
we have itunes running on one PC, and have two ipod touches and one ipad, all under the same apple account.
When I synced my new ipad, itunes tried to sync all my 100+ ipod apps on my pc to my ipad....That was not the idea, so I cancelled and put the apps I wanted (10 or so) on my ipad "by hand"
Is there a way to create lists (playlists?) with apps PER device? So that you can only sync that specific list to that specific ipod or ipad?
Thx, FF

How to sync multiple devices to one iTunes account

Just have a question here,
I have an iPod nano, my sister bought her iPod touch a few years back and we've had them on the same iTunes. She has her apps on there and they don't sync to my iPod obviously because i have the nano. This has been working fine. However, my father wants to sync to my iTunes because he wants some of my music and some of my sister's apps, but not all of them. Is there a way that I can create a "playlist" for him to have only his music and apps sync to his iPod? I haven't created an iCloud myself because it would be of no use to me. But, can I set one up for my father using my iTunes and have only some of the certain music and apps on there?
Sorry if this is a bit confusing but I would really appreciate some help!
Thank you.

Multiple devices with one iTunes account

Want to use my Desk Mac as the repository of ALL iTunes items.
Have a MacBook Pro & MacBook Air (to use on the go).
Everything is fully backed-up.
When I try to clean up my MacBooks and I delete an iTunes movie from them, will it be removed forever from my iTunes account and disappear from the Desk Mac?

Syncing multiple devices to one Itunes Library.

I have an IPod Touch and I Phone 4, I am trying to sync my Ipod Music with my library. I get a message saying the Ipod is synced with another library. Do I want to erase this Ipod and sync with this Itunes Library. I just want to transfer the music. But my only options are to "erase and sync" or cancel.

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed, here:

Multiple devices on one iTunes account

My husband and I have each others contacts on our iPhones. Is this because he is connected to my iTunes account and on the same 'cloud'? Do I need to set him up on a separate iTunes account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
He needs to use an Apple ID of his own for iCloud. iCloud and iTunes are different services, even though you use separate ID's for iCloud, you can still share an ID for iTunes, if you want to carry on sharing your music, books and apps etc. If you want these kept separate too as well as your contacts etc, then you should use separate ID's for iTunes too.

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.)

Can I have multiple devices on one iCloud account

can I have multiple devices on one iCloud account? Like a iPad and Mac Book Pro
If so how can I do this?

Sure. That is what iCloud is meant for, so you can keep your devices synced.
When you set up iCloud on the devices, use the same Apple ID on all devices, then the iCloud account will be the same.

HT4436 we have 5 devices on one itunes account how do I give them each their own icloud account and still share the itunes account?

we have 5 devices on one itunes account how do I give them each their own icloud account and still share the itunes account?

You need a unique AppleID for each iCloud account. So grab some free gmail, hotmail, aol, yahoo or whatever email addresses to make five new AppleIDs. Now, everybody make an iCloud account for themselves, and keep the existing shared AppleID and password just for use in the iTunes and App Stores. You can also each use your own unique AppleIDs to make iMessage accounts and keep those separate as well.

How can I have 2 devices on one iTunes?

How can i have 2 devices on one iTunes so that they share the same music but have different apps? Is there a way to do that?

Each can sync with the same playlists, or different ones, and can have different apps...
Uncheck the Automatically sync new apps box on the Apps tab after connecting each device and before syncing. Once this box has been unchecked each device should remember the setting and only sync the apps that have already been selected for it, plus any you then decide to manually add to the list or purchase on each respective device.
