Multiple devices with multiple itunes accts on one computer.

my son got an itouch from his dad.  My son has his own itunes account. how do I call up his itunes account so that it comes up with I plug his device to my Mac?  (right now my itunes account automatically comes up)

you can't do it automatically. you'd need to manually sign out of your iTunes account and in to his.
if you're sharing the computer, see method one in this support article:

  • Would like assistance with multiple devices with multiple iTunes accounts syncing on one PC

    I have had an iPhone for some years now and have been syncing with my PC without issue (first with iPhone 3gs and now with iPhone 4s). My wife bought me an iPad 3 retina in December 2012 which syncs with the same PC as my phone and shares the same iTunes account. Apps downloaded onto one device are automatically downloaded to the other, iMessages are sent and received to both devices also.
    My Wife now has an iPad mini with retina (using her own existing iTunes account which she previously used for an iPhone she no longer uses). I synchronised her new iPad mini with my PC assuming iTunes would manage the device and related account and contents separately to my existing account and 2 devices. However this has caused an issue with the sharing of apps. Since doing so I have started seeing updates available on my devices for apps which I have never downloaded, but my wife has.  If I tell my iPad to update said apps, I am asked for my Wife's iTunes account password. 
    On doing some searching via google I now understand that I should have created a second windows profile on my PC for my wife and installed iTunes onto this profile for the purposes of syncing her device.
    I would very much like to do this, but would like some assistance on the best course of action for doing so. If I proceed and created a second profile and sync her device to this, I presume I would need to tell iTunes to treat her iPad as a new device (and wonder what would happen to her existing content)? Assuming we do this, I presume the issue of my seeing her app updates would still persist?
    Could someone advise if they have any experience with similar issues/queries?

  • Can a family have multiple iClouds, with 1 iTunes acct?

    We are a family of 4 apple users. I want us to share the same iTunes acct with one way to purchase items, but I want us each to have our own iCloud login for backing up our devices. How can this be done? 
    Also, would we be able to access or see each others i

    Yes, in fact it's recommended that you have separate iCloud accounts.  You can have separate iCloud accounts and still share the same iTunes ID; it does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.
    To create separate iCloud accounts, each person should go to Settings>iCloud on their iOS device and sign in with a separate ID to create their account.  If they have multiple devices, then can create the account on one device, then go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with the same ID on their other devices.

  • Multiple devices showing in iTunes when only one device is plugged in

    How come multiple devices show up in iTunes left-hand DEVICES column when I plug in only one device? When I plug in my iPhone, two of the same devices by the same name show up in the left hand column within iTunes, ALONG with two other iPhones in our family. Can anyone offer insight please? Thank you in advance!

  • How do set up multiple devices with multiple graphs in labview

    Hello,
    I am new at LabView, and we are trying to setup a test rig to measure voltage, pressure and flow rates. We are currently using a NI-6009USB box and Labview version 8.2.  Our problem lies in setting up the actual measurements on separate graphs. How do i go about setting up the daq-assistant to measure mulitple devices, and graph them on their own graphs?  We also need to know how to program in when measuring flow, how to convert it from square wave form to a calibrated curve?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Nate

    When you configure the DAQ Assistant, you will be first asked to select the measurement type. Assuming that you have voltage sensors because you have the 6009, you select Analog Input>Voltage. You then get a list of devices. Since you only have one, it should be listed as Dev1. Expand that and then pick the channels you have connected to the sensors. Just like it says at the bottom of the of the channel window, you can select multiple channels with  <CTL> or <SHIFT> click. After you've done that, the next window is where you select your sample rate, number of samples, etc. You can also select a custom scale for each channel. This is where you would enter any formula you have from the sensor vendor in order to convert a voltage reading to scaled units.
    The output of the DAQ Assistant is a dynamic data type. You can wire this to a single graph to display all readings together or use the Split Signals function to break out individual channels for separate graphs.

  • With three iTunes accounts on one computer, can we share music?

    Three log-ins, each having its own iTunes account, can we share music?

    Many thanks.
    You're not going to be able to use Home Sharing, because for that you'd need iTunes to be open in multiple different Windows user accounts on the same computer at the same time. But iTunes for Windows doesn't support Fast User Switching, so you can't do that.
    There's another alternative, however. See the following document for some information:

  • Multiple devices with multiple users on one itunes account

    How do I get my daughters iTouch on my same itunes account so we can share apps/music but so that I don't see her imessages?  Also - I don't want her messages coming across with my name.  Thanks!

    It's an all or nothing feature as long as everyone has full access to the Apple ID. But every device can have a custom build. You don't have to put every bit of content in the libraries on every device.
    Otherwise, you need a separate Apple ID for business.

  • Haven't used icloud yet but if we have multiple devices with multiple contacts can we save each contact list to the cloud separately?

    We have four separate iPhones with four separate contact list but one family apple ID.  If we back each device up to the cloud using the same apple ID will it keep the lists separate?

    You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs.  (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.)  This will prevent you from ending up with merged data.  You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

  • Setting up two seperate itunes accounts on one computer

    I just bought my mom an ipad. How do I set up an itunes account for her on my mac where I already have one for myself? We do not necessarily read the same books or listen the same music, so I'd like them seperate, yet on my computer. A person told me "just make a new acount"... ok, but I don't see where that new account option is?!

    Just for clarification, Niel's directions set up a new user account on the computer with its own iTunes library, not an iTunes "account" as such.  "Account" is a misnomer. iTunes itself doesn't have accounts on the computer (yes, the store has accounts but that  isn't on your computer).  You can create multiple libraries with collections of media under one computer user account but this can be tricky to manage and you may be best off creating a user account for your mother with her own iTunes collection in that.  It is possible to share things on the computer.

  • Syncing multiple devices, user accounts, iTunes accounts one computer

    I have a question that I can't find a clear answer.
    I previous had one iPod touch and one iPad that I synched with my iTunes library. No problem. But now the wife has finally purchased a verizon iPhone and I want to be able to use my vast app collection for her phone.
    Scenario is we each have separate user accounts (so we can maintain our own calendars and contacts, ect.). We each have our own ITunes accounts and our own iTunes libraries by default. She will not be purchasing much on her account though.
    How do I, without creating a can of worms, create one library to sync to so I can put apps and music on her phone without erasing any of her separate information. I have read a lot on the subject and there does not seem to be a clear answer anywhere. Yes, I have read ht1495 but that does not seem to be exactly on point
    Basically, I have 3 devices, 2 user accounts and 2 iTunes accounts but one computer only. I want to be able to have all iTunes stuff available on both user accounts and be able to have both people be able to read and write to the same library. I am sure there are plenty of people running into this issue with more and more people getting iPhones with verizon. It seems that it is easier to do with multiple computers than one computer.
    So, I am looking for help or advice on the easiest way to accomplish this task.
    IMac   Mac OS X (10.6.6)    

    The easiest way to accomplish want you want is to transfer what content you want to the separate iTunes library under each user account. To transfer content from your library to your wife's library so that she can use it on her phone, do this:
    1. Launch iTunes under your wife's login.
    2. Sign her out of iTunes & then you sign in.
    3. iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Disable auto-sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected.
    4. Connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC!
    5. Store>Authorize this Computer(only have to do this once).
    6. File Transfer Purchases(all of the purchased content on your phone will be transferred to your wife's library).
    7. When complete, eject your phone, sign out of iTunes, sign your wife back in.
    You can now sync whatever content you want to your wife's phone. Just remember, all updates to apps obtained using your account must be done while signed in using your account: sign wife out, you sign in, update apps, you sign out, sign wife in, sync her phone.
    This way you can share content(permitted under the EUSLA) and still maintain your separate logins. Do the same under your login if you want to share content from your wife's library.
    Just load whatever content you want to share on each others phones, transfer the content, then delete it from the respective phone if you don't want to keep it there.

  • HT1495 How do I stop SMS messages being shared between multiple iphones on my itunes account? One is my wife's, one is mine and we do not want each others messages appearing on the other.

    How do I stop SMS messages appearing on two devices on my iTunes account?
    One phone is mine, one is my wife's and we dont want messages being shared.
    We do have contacts and music etc shared.

    If your are recieving mixed information on your phone on multiple devices this is going to be related to iMessage.
    On your phone navagate to settings > messages > send and receive.
    Check the information in that section make sure it relates to your AppleID and your phone.  If you share a AppleID with the individual create a new AppleID for their device and insert that information.
    If the numbers don't remove turn of iMessage restart your phone and turn it back it.
    If all else fails disable iMessage otherwise turning it off is the quickest fix.

  • Can I have multiple iPhones with unique back ups using one icloud account?

    Hello forum users,
    Can I have multiple iPhones with unique back ups using one icloud account?
    I would like to back up and restore 4 different iPhones, 1 iPad, a MacBook and 1 MacBook Pro using the same single iCloud account.
    If so, how is this done?
    Many thanks

    Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address).  While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
    Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud.  You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

  • HT1206 Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

    Lots of info about one user using multiple computers. What about multiple users with separate Apple IDs using same computer? Having problems getting my wifes new iPhone talking to her apple account on the computer we share (2 users)

    You need to create a user account for your wife (or yourself depending on who has the current user account). When syncing, each of you should sign in as a separate user, login to iTunes and then sync. I had this problem when my sister got an iPhone. When we did her initial sync, everything on my iPhone showed up on hers. Apple gave me this solution.

  • How can I sync multiple iPhones with 1 iTune

    Hi,
    I would like to know how and limitation of syncing more than 1 iPhone with 1 iTune software in same computer.
    Thanks.

    The only difference I can think of adding is that if you want to use the 1 computer with multiple iPhones but want EACH iPhone to sync different information would be best if each iPhone user syncing had their own User Profile for the computer.
    Other than that, basically yeah. No real limitation to the # of iOS Devices connected to 1 computer
