Newbie - Be gentle - Using multiple computers and IPods

I have 3 kids wanting to use my computer and a separate computer at their other parents' house for ITunes. Can this be done? How? We have already had problems with ITunes erasing songs from one computer etc. Any help appreciated.

you need to set up the ipods for manual synching go to edit>prefernces iPod tab. This way you can add music from either PC without deleting what is on the iPod

Help using multiple iphones and ipods on itunes

Okay, is there any simple way to use multiple apple products thru itunes. I can log in on my account and sync my iphone/ipod, then I log out and log back in with my daughter's account info. I plug her itouch in and it wants to read all of my apps(some apps we both have on our devices). Have problems with music sharing as well. Still a PC user. Get very frustrated with itunes. spend way too much time trying to do things that should be simple. please help! Thank you!

Help using multiple computers and one shared external drive

I just "bought" the new LR / PS combo special. I have 3 computers, 2 PC's in seperate cities and a laptop that I use on the road. I would like to use an external hard drive as the main drive. This way I could take the drive with me.
2 Questions....First I tried to learn the basics using the internal hard drive on PC#2. I then set up a external drive with multiple folders but within one main folder. I then started importing to the external drive using PC#2 (which is at my vacation property). Everything went smooth until I tried to import from that external drive, It does not open that catalog. I am saving them as digital negatives.
Question #2 which I have not tried yet is PC#1 which is my main home computer does not have LR. I have years of photos in hundreds of files sorted in bridge that have to be renamed and put on the hard drive. It does not have the latest version of PS and I have lots of money invested in plug ins. How can I get lightroom on that computer and will it talk to what I believe is the prior version of photoshop. I don't even want to think about all the plug ins.
It's pretty clear that I am lost. I was going to continue using bridge and PS but there is no bridge on the new version, at least not on the $9.99 special. From what I've seen, LR is the way to go.
HELP

I have multiple computers and iPhones and now iTunes will not allow my wife to load applications or use her own iTunes playlists. How can I setup each device for each user correctly?

We have multiple computers and iPhone devices which I have passed on to other family members, such as my wife. Now she is not able to load apps to her devices, eventhough it appear she is logged into her own iTunes account. How can I setup iTunes correctly on each device? Currently, there is one PC and one Mac laptop and we each have iPhones, with one other family member not able to use his 'passed-down' device for iTunes, also.

Hello dal1820
Check out the article below on how to use multiple devices with one computer. The main idea that I want to point out is to have different users for each person as it is the easy way to make sure that no issue happen when syncing.

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.

Please can someone help me? Have iphone 4 and just returned home from abroad where the phone worked fine. Now it wont receive wifi. It picks up signal and shows on phone but cant connect to internet. Computers and ipod all working ok

Hi, please can someone help me?
Have just returned home from abroad where my iphone 4 worked perfectly.
Now at home it wont receive wifi. It picks up the signal which shows in phones display but cant connect to the internet. Computers and ipod all working fine so I assume it must be a problem with the phone.
Have checked that wifi is turned on and tried resetting phone to no avail

Hello melissa82686,
From your description, it sounds like you may have been using the SMS feature of Continuity in iOS 8. If this is the case and it has somehow become misconfigured after a recent change, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
SMS
With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
On your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.

Does Firefox switch to full screen if you press F11 ?
You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar.

How to use multiple computers (mac) and an ipod ???

Ok, i am very very new to mac's and ipods, i just got one yesterday. Me and my girl both have one and use it on 2 different macs. She had purchased some tv shows, and i would like to put them on my ipod as well. they are purchased so we do own them correct??? So i finally figured out how to add them to my ipod from her mac, by switching to manual mode. But than once i hook my ipod up to my mac, it automatically delets them. Because i am guessing i am in automatic mode. Can someone help me to prevent this. I do not want to change my mac out of auto mode, because it is a pain in the rear to manually add everything to the ipod. Please help???
Also since i had changed my ipod out of automatic mode once and placed it into manual mode once, and back again to auto i always have to eject my ipod. How do i set it up like it was out of the box, in auto mode and that i do not have to eject it from itunes.
Thanks so much, i know that i am a nube at all of this...

You can't do this. If you want to update your iPod from multiple machines, you NEED to be in manual mode on both computers. There's no way around this.
Here's an article from Apple which explains how to do it.

When you switched to manual mode, it automatically enables Disk Mode on your iPod.
If you don't want to keep ejecting the iPod, then you need to disable Disk Mode. You can do this in iTunes preferences.
Then again, one you go back to manual mode... which you need to do to use you r iPod with more than one computer... it's going to enable disk mode again anyway.

Multiple Computers and iPhone and iPods

I have 3 computers Desktop PC-XP at work, Laptop PC-Vista, and Desktop PC-XP at home. I also have an iPhone, 2 iPod touches (for each of my sons) and an iShuffle. I want to copy/share any music/video/apps with each device wherever i am. I have authorized my 3 computers and am having trouble syncing the iPod touches with my laptop.
Each time i connect my device it wants to erase everything and resync it to the current library on that machine. It greys out the apps on my iTouches and won't let me drag and drop them. I did this exact thing on my computer at work last week without any problems.
I also am having trouble syncing apps on my laptop - it worked fine when i copied apps from my iTunes at work and copied apps from my iPhone free/purchased to the iPods. I am unable to do this with my laptop.
Also when i sync my iPhone it reorders all my apps alphabeticaly that i have already organized by how i use them. Which is VERY frustrating.
Looking for a way to easily manage everything and can find great help videos and instructions for one computer and one device, or one computer and multiple devices. Multiple computers seems to be the issue.
If someone had some advice on how to handle this the best way i would greatly appreciate it. thanks!

You can sync/manage itunes content from ONE computer at a time. When you sync/manage to a different computer it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
Try putting all of the content on one machine and sync to that machine.

Using one library for multiple computers and accounts (not store accounts)

Okay, we currently have four macs in the house. One was recently bought: i7 iMac (late 2009), another is dying: (mid 2005 iMac), another is going somewhere else: (late 2006 iMac) and another is a laptop: C2D MBP (late 2008). We might add another computer into the mix some time later.
Anyway, what I want to do is have one iTunes library which all of the computers can access (even guest's/friend's computers). We have a Time Capsule, and as I have heard one can make the TC the HDD for the iTunes library, I thought it best for it to be there.
The only thing is, how can each computer (and the possible multiple accounts) each access the same library, without duplicating and messing anything up? Is that possible? If it is too hard for multiple computers to do this, I would still want the (late 2009) iMac to be able to use the same library for the two accounts on it.
Thanks.

Make sure everything you want to share is on the centralized drive (music, video, and books, but if any of you have mobile devices, keep the apps on your local drive). Mount the drive on your computer. (Remember, from now on you must do this before starting iTunes.) If iTunes isn't running, start it now.
At the moment iTunes thinks the library is on the local computer and has all the music on it so that has to be changed. Click on Music in the left window pane, select all, and delete. This deletes all the music from the library and, if you choose, from the computer too. (Until you are sure this set-up is to your liking, don't delete the music from the drive.) Now go to Preferences and select the Advanced tab. Set iTunes to look at the music folder on your shared drive. And finally, select File>Add to Library to repopulate your iTunes library. This could take a while if you have a large music collection.
Since you changed the music location, anything that is added to one person's library will be saved onto the shared drive so it isn't too much of a hassle to manually add music. You'll have to rebuild playlists which is a minor hassle but it’s a one time deal.

Can I use multiple computers eg. my desktop, laptop and iPad on an individual subscription?

If I buy a individual subscription can I use photoshop on multiple computers eg. my desktop, laptop and iPad?
If so, what is required on each device? If I am on my laptop away form home can I log onto photoshop and still access documents Ive been working on?
Sorry for the stupid questions, I do not fully understand how the 'Cloud' works and what it offers me if I need to use photoshop on several devices.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you

You have 2 activations, meaning you can use it on 2 computers. Mobile devices are treated separately and are not tied to the activation limit. Whether or not you will be able to work on your documents across will depend on syncing them or making them otherwise available through some shared (web) storage.

Multiple computers with iPod

Hello, I'm new to the forum, hope you folks can holp out. I am planning to purchase a new iPod video. I want to sync it with tunes and photos here at home on my iMac. In a few months I will be going overseas for at least a year and will be getting a laptop once I am there, not sure yet but most likely a pc. I will then want to load things from that new pc to my iPod, adding them to what will be there from my iMac. Can this be accomplished and how? Thanks!

Using iPod with Multiple Computers.
Since you're using two different operating systems, it would be best if you formatted the iPod for Windows, since that would allow it to be used on both a PC and a Mac.
