Multiple itunes on ipad

how can i set up my new ipad so that my kids can add apps without affecting my work iphone?

Setup a differet Apple Id for the iPad, or turn off Automatic Downloads on your iPhone so apps intalled on the iPad aren't automatically downloaded to the iPhone.
Settings->General->iTunes and App Stores->Automatic Downloads   Set to Off

  • How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

    How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

    You can migrate a copy of the data to a new account, then delete the other person's data from each account.  To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to keep on the phone, save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you have any synced notes that you want to keep on the phone, email these to yourself so you can create new notes in the new account.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.  You will create a new icloud email address with you turn Mail to On.
    Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).

  • HT5616 I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account.  I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account.  How do I do this?

    I have multiple phones and iPads and all are linked to one iCloud account and one iTunes Account.  I want to keep the same iTunes Account so I can share music, etc., however, I want each device to have its own iCloud account.  Any help on how I can I do this?

    You'll need to create an Apple ID for each device. Use the new Apple ID for FaceTime, iMessage and iCloud on the device. Use the original Apple ID for Settings>iTunes & App Store.

  • Connecting iPad 2 to multiple iTunes/Computers

    Hi, I'm new here. I was wondering how to connect my iPad 2 to multiple iTunes accounts on different computers, without accidentally deleting my library files already on my iPad or having iTunes sync to a computer I don't want it to.
    I set the option in iTunes so that my iPad will only sync what I have checked, and also the option that tells it to not automatically sync as soon as it connects to my personal computer's iTunes program.
    So I guess I am wondering if the custom settings I used on the iTunes program on my home computer will register on a different computer's iTunes program and a different iTunes account.
    Will another person's iTunes account/program still be able to pick up the custom settings I have for my own iTunes account? Since iTunes recognizes my iPad's name, and all that, I was thinking it might. But, I wanted to check before connecting to a different computer and accidentally deleting my old (original) library again.
    Thanks so much for any help!

    No matter how you configure iTunes on each computer, the iPad can only sync with one iTunes library.
    If you try to sync content from computer "A" after you have been syncing with computer "B", the content from computer "B" will be erased when you sync with computer "A".
    You can't select content from multiple iTunes libraries to sync with an iDevice - no matter how you configure iTunes on each computer.

  • Can I use Apple Configurator 1.6 to install Apps from multiple iTunes accounts on 30 iPads

    Can I use Apple Configurator 1.6 to install Apps from multiple iTunes accounts on 30 iPads in South Korea?

    Thank you again.  I am actually just using a single computer at thsi time but will be setting up a Mac Mini in a day or so.
    I actually believe I authorized my Mac Book for both my wife and my iTunes account.  Yesterday when I hooked her iPhone up it told me that my computer was not authorized to download an app, i had to authorize this macbook. 
    So if the Apps from both iTunes account  is on my Mac Book and I hook up my iPhone it will allow my to transfer the apps from my computer to my iphone?  So lets say I am logged into iTunes account #1 and I try to use an app from iTunes account #2 will I have to do anything special?
    Again thanks

  • Started with iPod/iTunes (home pc) several years ago. Added iPhone, iPad, laptop and office pc.  Have multiple iTunes/iMusic folders

    Started out with iPod/iTunes on a home pc several years ago. Added iPhone, iPad, laptop and office pc.  Have multiple iTunes/iMusic folders on all 3 computers -- using iCloud to access media on iPhone/iPad.  What's the best way consolidate songs, movies, books, etc prior to phasing out home pc?  Which machine (laptop or office pc) is best to use as the master host for iTunes/iMusic going forward? Don't want to lose anything or create numerous duplicates. 

    I finally resolved this... by changing everything over to a new laptop.  I had been running iTunes on a Vista desktop, and moved Outlook and iTunes to a Win7 x64 laptop.  Once I got everything installed, I copied the iTunes folder to the laptop, transferred the purchases, backed up the iPhone and iPad to the new iTunes, and then synched them.  Set iTunes to sync Calendar, Contacts, Mail, and Notes on both, and resynched.  Once this was done and I verified that everything was intact on both the iPhone and the iPad, I tried entering a calendar event on the phone and then did another sync.  The event showed up in Outlook.  I then deleted the event from Outlook and did another sync and the event was gone from the iPhone.  Did the same with the iPad and got the same results.  So this apparently was something related to the desktop or Vista; I never got it resolved on the desktop.  Not sure what it could be, but now that it's resolved I'm going to leave it alone.  Maybe after I upgrade to an iPhone 5, I might try messing with the iPhone 4s on the Vista desktop.  If I do, and happen to get it resolved, I'll surely post something regarding that.

  • Have found multiple iTunes Library.xml files. Moved Library to new Hard Drive and it needs to be completely rebuilt?

    Hello. I have a Mac Mini operating Mac OS X 10.7.2. I recently had to move my iTunes Library to a new hard drive. I followed the directions on how to move the library and refind everything yet when I do so what comes up is a mere skeleton of what I had. I have had to hunt down my purchased Apps, Music and Movies and re-add them to the library. I also noticed in doing this I have multiple iTunes Library.xml files ... shouldn't there only be one?  If so how do I clean this up without doing any accidental damage (i.e. how do I find the one that is being used and delete the rest?)?  If I delete the others is there any risk of losing purchased content? Lastly syncing my iPads has become a nightmare as I get the "This iPad is currently synced to another iTunes library" message. Obviously something

    It's hard for me to picture the exact situation. It sounds like you still have your library file on the internal but some files on the external, and maybe some on the internal, some of which are in the library and others not...  By re-adding things after consolidating it may have made things into a hodge-podge. Yes, that article you referenced says: "iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder"with Media Folder being the emphasis.  You probably should have just moved your whole iTunes folder.  Still, moving the media folder as instructed should not have messed up the library.  Did you make the mistake of starting up iTunes before the external drive had mounted fully and it then told you it couldn't find many files?  How you proceed to sort it out will depend upon how much time you want to spend and how important things such as ratings and playcount are to you.  I have not actually used the consolidate feature across different drives myself (and don't feel inclined to do so here to test ).
    If you are in the USA you can download some previous purhcases with iCloud, but not all.
    Here's a bit on what an iTunes folder should look like:
    What are the iTunes library files? - [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660]
    More on iTunes library files and what they do - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes#Media_management]
    Library files with graphic and explanation of different iTunes versions - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13169517
    Once you get iTunes working off the external drive it should just put new media to the external when you add it.
    I have almost no experience with synching (I synched my neice's iPod, once, about 4 years ago).

  • Set up multiple iTunes accounts on one computer?

    I bought each of my two daughters their own iPods for Christmas, and when I set them up, I used my iTunes account login for both of them.  It has become an issue sharing my account on their devices, because all of my information comes up on their iPods (like my messages).  How can I set up new accounts for each of them, since I only have one computer?  I want each of them to have their own iTunes accounts so they can stop using mine.  Please help!!!

    If you use multiple AppleIDs on a computer make sure you maintain a backup of all media.  There is a 90 day wait time between using different Apple  Ids with the iTUnes Store for the purposes of re-downloading past purchases.

  • Apple TV G2 and Multiple iTunes Accounts

    In our household we have multiple iTunes accounts so that everybody can purchase and download their own content for the various computers and devices that we own.
    In the old Apple TV each persons iTunes account could be setup to allow streaming from their computer ( while only one could be setup for syncing and purchasing )
    In the new Apple TV it would appear that you can only setup Home Sharing to a single iTunes account and that there is no way to see the other iTunes accounts on our network.
    Is there something I am missing here? How can we stream content from more then one iTunes account to the new Apple TV.

    I too suffer from the same problem.
    My wife, son, and I maintain separate iTunes accounts/libraries on our individual Macs. I just purchased the new 2nd Generation Apple TV to replace my 1st Generation one. We set up Shared Libraries on each of our Macs, which we were able to browse/play on our 1st Gen Apple TV. My wife's account was set up on the device for the purpose of renting/purchasing content.
    Now with the 2nd Gen Apple TV I no longer see any option for associating Shared Libraries, or browsing anything other than a single iTunes library because of it's reliance on the Home Sharing feature. Also, I can't easily pair up my iPhones/iPod Touch/iPad copies of the Remote App unless they too are set up using Home Sharing on a single iTunes account. Sure, with the promise of AirPlay we may one day be able to stream video (we can do audio now) from all our Macs, but without the ability to browse all our libraries from one simple interface (like we could on the 1st Gen) the newest Apple TV has limited usefulness for our family.
    I don't suppose someone out there might know of a hidden method to re-enable this feature, or if it might be released in a patch in the not-too-distant future. I'm going to give it a few days, but this device will likely find its way back to the Apple Store it came from (minus the re-stoking fee).

  • How do I manage multiple itunes devices ?

    How do I manage multiple itunes devices with other family members on a single computer?
    I do not want to share libraries.

    There's a couple of options (other than using specified playlists or manual management out of a single library).

  • Multiple iTunes accounts with a single ipod?

    I just bought my daughter a new ipod Touch.  Will she be able to download music into the ipod from both my itunes account and from her mom's seperate itunes account, or will her ipod only be able to be associated with a single itunes account?  Thanks.

    You can use multiple iTunes accounts on one iPod.  Just note that you can only sync with one iTunes library/computer.  However, yu can manage music among different computers. See:

  • Can you combine multiple itunes accounts into a single one?

    I set up separate itunes accounts for my (2) sons (8 & 10) because one had an iPod and the other had an iTouch. 
    They just got an iPad for X-mas (that they'll share) ... I want to set up the iCloud and create a "joint" account. 
    Is it possible to combine their multiple itunes acounts into a single account?

    This is all i know but all you can do is just creat a new one for them both and send all the stuff to the one think u can do that i hope it helps

  • How to select multiple recipients in iPad mail

    I have read that I can't create groups, but how to select multiple recipients in iPad mail?
    I was looking for this when setting up for two new people who are going to have the iPad as their only device.. and they do need to email a bunch of people at once..
    I was sending out the 'I have a new email address' BCC for them.
    Thanks.

    You can select multiple contacts by tapping on the + sign in the upper right corner in the To: field when you are typing a new email. Just keep tapping the + sign and your contacts will pop up in a window. Select the contact that you want to add, repeat the process in order to add as many recipients as you want.
    There are other mail apps that let you creat groups and email to those groups.

  • One credit cards, multiple ITunes accounts

    Can I have multiple ITunes accounts with different email addresses and use one single credit card when purchasing items from each of the accounts?

    Actually, you can't have more than 3 accounts tied to the same credit card in iTunes. And Apple support (online, chat, email, phone, store) is no help in figuring out what is going on. When you try to setup the 3rd account with the same credit card, iTunes says "Contact iTunes Support to complete this transaction" but does not provide any contact info. I've been trying to set up the 3rd of 9 accounts I need to setup for our corporate iPads for 2 days now.  Support did some digging and after an hour on the phone, told me I could "have each user just set up their own iTunes account with their own credit card".
    This is so remeniscent of steps another computer company stumbled over when they started to sell to Corporate America. Apple does not get the corporation. Product looks good but there is a lot of unfinished business when it comes to administering multiple devices. Support is friendly but not very able to solve the problem.
