  • Multiple iTunes Match accounts (one per Windows profile)?

    Hi,
    Forgive me if this subject had been covered before (I did have a quick dig), but is it possible to have seperate iTunes Match accounts, one per Windows profile (on the same box)?
    Our Windows 7 system has multiple users and we don't want to merge music into one library just to get Match working.  Is it the case that it's limited by MAC address / physical hardware?  (I don't want to go down the route of having one network interface per windows profile either!)
    If somebody from Apple reads this, are there any plans to support this future iTunes releases?  It would bring you more revenue with a household willing to pay for more than one subscription...
    Many thanks,
    Matt.

    You can authorize a single copy of iTunes to up to five iTunes Store accounts. So yes, you can have both your account and one for your daughter in the same system.

  • Can multiple iTunes Store accounts be linked to one iTunes Library

    Hi there! I'm having trouble getting a clear answer to this question. If I'm being confusing, forgive me. We are a family of three with two iPod Touches and one older iPod. We recently purchased a new iMac and I migrated our common iTunes Library to the Mac. We won't be using to PC anymore. There are three separate accounts on the Mac but all of them point to the same iTunes Library.
    Up until now, we have been using my Apple ID/iTunes Store account for all purchases. I would like to set up a separate iTunes store account for my daughter so she can use all the gift cards she gets to make her own purchases. *If I give her a separate iTunes Store account, can whatever she purchases go into our common library?* I don't want to her to lose access to all the apps and music we have already accumulated.
    If both accounts can download content to the same library, can I expect any problems when I sync the different iPods? All of them are set up to sync manually so that we can choose which music playlists, movies and apps go to which device. Will my daughter have to sync her iPod twice -- logging each iTunes store account once -- to get all her content? Are there problems with updating apps?
    Sorry this is so long! I keep getting the same answer from an Apple tech via e-mail but it doesn't address the exact points of my concerns! Thanks for any help you can provide.

    We have several macs, several ipods, a couple of iphones, several itunes store accounts. So far no problem. You might have to share passwords if you want to share content. I think iStore accounts can only be used on up to 5 computers. We have 7, so have to be a little careful about that. I don't think there is a limit on how many iDevices can be used with one account. I also don't think there is a limit on how many accounts can be used on a single computer (might be wrong about that). You have to be logged into the iStore to download content, and your computer has to be registered with the account to use the content, but once it is on, and registered, syncing to an iPod is not a problem (you do not have to login in again for each account the content was purchased from). I'm just glad I only have two kids, and one wife - things could get trickier in a big family with . . .

  • Multiple iPads & One Account

    I work at a school that is considering using iPads next year. If I have 40 of them, can I sync them all to the same iTunes account? I really don't want to track separate accounts for each.
    This isn't intended to get around paying for apps, they cost what they cost. From an administration standpoint I want one account to update them all if it's possible.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I found these two paragraphs in the link you provided which answered my question for the most part. I just need to read a bit more about "Program Facilitators".
    "I’m at a K–12 institution, and we use carts to synchronize content from a single iTunes library to multiple devices used by students in the classroom. Can I use this method to distribute purchased apps to my students’ devices?
    Yes, if your Program Facilitator agrees to terms and conditions when he or she signs up for the ASVPP. Apple agrees to permit you to use a single code to sync an app to multiple devices, up to the number of codes you have purchased (instead of having to redeem a separate code for each license), provided that you agree to the terms. You should verify the number of apps that the Program Facilitator purchased, and tell the Program Facilitator how many devices were synced with the app.
    Can you give me an example of using a single code to sync an app to multiple devices?
    For example, using this optional means of distribution, an institution with 100 devices could purchase 100 copies of an app and receive 100 app-specific codes and URLs. The institution could then distribute a smaller number of codes (for example, one code to each of five classrooms). These codes would be redeemed through the iTunes library of the computer used to synchronize the students’ devices. If each of the five classes has 20 devices, then, after syncing, 100 devices would each have the app even though only five of the app-specific codes are used. The remaining 95 codes may not be used but should be retained for accounting and audit purposes."

  • ITunes 11.0.3 and multiple iTunes Store accounts - any Idea

    Hello,
    I have an German and an Austrian iTunes Store Account. Main reason for that
    is that Apple does not allow you to transfer Apps bought from an account in one Country
    to an iTunes Store account from another country, although those countries may be
    members of the European Union.
    Anyway: Prior iTunes Version 11.0.3 handling Apps from two different accounts was
    relatively easy. I clicked on "Apps" on the left hand side panel in iTunes.
    All Apps would be then displayed.
    Then there was an "Check for Updates" Button. Click on that would display *only* the Apps
    that need update bought with the account that is *currently* signed into the iTunes Store
    and then  just click on the "Update All" Button and thats it. Then I would sign out and sign in
    with the other account, repeat the procedure described above and that's it.
    Now with iTunes 11.0.3 Apple made the entire thing a night mare. I click on Apps in the left hand
    iTunes panel. Then there is an "Updates" tab. You click on that and then all Apps needing an update
    from all iTune Accounts you have are displayed. You click on update all and then iTunes starts updating
    the Apps until it comes to the first App bought with a different iTunes Store Account. Then is stops with
    a warning message. Then you need to sign out and in. Then restart update process until it comes
    to an applications that is bought with a different iTunes account and so on and so on.
    Any idea or work-around how to get iTunes 11.0.3 to have the same behavour liek teh versiosn before ?
    Thank you!

    Is this the error your gettings?
    If so, remove the installer, and redownload the itunes set-up installer

  • How to handle iTunes Match with multiple libraries (one account, 5 family members)?

    How would this work, in the situation below ...
    Everyone has their own iCloud account (for their own syncing purposes).
    But we (family) ALL share the same iTunes account (for purchasing).
    How will this work, since we all have our own iTunes libraries?

    One person sets up Match on their computer using the iTunes account.  Uploads everything to match.
    I would recommend waiting until that person is done, and do computers one at a time.  No particular reason, just seems sensible.
    Next person sets up match using same iTunes account details.  Uploads their stuff.  They will then see everything the previous user put into the system, unless you select "Hide music not on this computer" in the view menu.  Previous user will now see their stuff too.
    Rinse and repeat.
    This is how it worked with my multiple machines anyway...  As long as every computer uses the same iTunes account for the store, you all get access to the same Match account.

  • Multiple iPods, multiple computers, one account???

    I have four computers and will soon have four iPods (one model #M946OLL, three new Nanos) My main computer has iTunes loaded with all our downloaded and purchased music. Please advise as to how I set up the three new Nanos, each with their own computer, but sharing all the music. Note, all music will be purchased with the same account. Thank you!

    Start with these links:
    Natalie Beresford: Multiple iPods/iTunes Installations
    How to use multiple iPods with one computer
    How to share music between different accounts on a single computer

    Then post back with your desired 'end-state' vision of how all four PCs will work with all four iPods. It may or may not be possible (or even easy, if possible).

  • Multiple devices, one account

    Is it legal to purchase an app and put it on more than one device with the same account? If so, is there a way to transfer an app from an iphone to an ipod touch when there is no wifi to connect the ipod touch to the internet/app store?
    Thanks!

    I understand about syncing - that is not my question. I am asking if there is any OTHER way to transfer apps if you are in a situation where you do not have access to itunes or wifi (to re-download from the app store). There are apps to transfer pictures (i.e. Bump), so I was wondering if there is a way to transfer apps.

  • ITunes: One account OK, one not

    I've searched everywhere for an answer to this, without luck.
    We have an iMac (3.06GHz 1TB 4GB) running OSX 10.5.8 with iTunes 10.1.1. We use one log on for the iMac. However, myself and my partner have an iTunes account each. Both have worked fine for years, but recently my partners account will not download queued items. My account is still OK and purchases download immediately.
    We have contacted iTunes help, but they haven't been able to fix the problem.
    My partner has 25 items to download in her queue, when you click the download button, she gets the following error "iTunes store temporarily unavailable"
    Now, this cannot be down to the iMac or network otherwise my account would have the same problem.
    I have also tried signing on to my iPhone using her iTunes credentials and this shows that there is nothing to download.
    Please can someone help as its very frustration.

    I should add that this has been happening since at least 27th December.

  • Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Professional Edition -- Multiple Magazines One Account

    Is it possible to create multiple magazine apps under one professional account? (Each of these apps would be multi-issue)

    yes.
    I would set up your master account as [email protected] ([email protected]) and for each app create an accounts called [email protected] (for example [email protected] and [email protected]).

  • FaceTime issues with multiple devices & one account

    I have an iPhone 5s, an iPad Mini and 2 iPod Touch devices, all on the same account and Apple ID. Is there any way to iMessage or FaceTime from one device to ONE other device(not all of them)? Thanks!

    You can create another Appleid and use it only for FaceTime and/or messages on 1ipad.
    In this manner you can maintain a parent account for all and have child accounts for messaging only.
    You would simply log out of messages and log in with new id

  • Itunes one Account, need another account.

    I have a home PC that is shared by a family of 4.  Each family member has there own userid but we only have one Apple account.  My daughter now wants her own account. Will there be a problem when she transfers her music to a new computer?

    Hi Fruity Tooty,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Your iMovie project (data) is not tied to your Apple ID.  If you don't own a Mac, you could use Airdrop to send the iMovie project to another device with a different Apple ID to continue working on it.    Here's an article that explains how:

  • Multiple iTunes Store accounts

    I have an account with the Canadian iTunes Store. The particular album I want is not available through that store. It is, however, in stock in the USA store. Am I, therefore, unable to buy it?
    I am sure this issue is dealt with elsewhere but I have been unable to track it down.

    You can only buy in another country's store if you have a credit card with a billing address in that country.

  • Multiple Ipods - One Account?

    I purchased Ipods for a friend as well as my kids and they all want a copy of my complete library of songs. Is this possible?

    It's possible but not entirely legal (apart from sharing with your family). You cannot give copies of the songs to a friend, that's illegal file sharing. There are several different ways to use multiple iPods with one computer, have a look at this help page for suggestions: How to use multiple iPods with one computer
