One account for mulitple individuals/devices

I have a group of individuals that we work with for our business - we are hoping to use one iTunes account for all of them to access information on their provided ipads.  Will this work?  This would ideally allow them to purchase apps for this business purpose and would sync to all the accounts if we are using the cloud?

How many users are in the group?

  • Use one account for apps and other for itunes match

    Hello everybody
    My question today is quite simple. I use one account for apps and tv shows, but inwant to use a different itunes account for purchasing itunes match. How can I use them both on my devices? Will it be asking for my user-pass each time i play a song? What other thing should i consider?
    Thank you in advance

    I would strongly recommend you not do this.  You will regret it.
    I have played with this issue a lot.  You have to remain signed into match in order for it to show up on your phone. If you sign out to purchase an app or redownload one from your appstore id you use then match will be removed from your phone and when you go into your music app the icloud will not be there.  You then have to go sign back out of the store id you used for your app purchase and then sign back into match and everything will have to go though the download to your device process again.  This really is not what you want to do.
    Sign up to match with the apple id that you know you will use the most or has the most purchased items and use that for all purchases, i.e. books, apps, movies, and music.  You don't want to go though the other process.
    Plus apple will start not letting you sign into match because you signed out and back in, in to short a period of time.
    all store purchases on an iphone are linked to the store id.  if you sign out of your match id on the appstore and sign into another account to purchase an app then itunes match will sign out in the music app.  You can't have two store id's signed into your iphone at the same time.  They are all linked together.

    Hello,
    Yes you can. You can access your account using any Skype enabled computer/device in any country worldwide.

    It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • HT4436 how can i setup one account for me and my kids ?

    how can i setup one account for me and my kids ?

    One account each, or one account for all of you to share?
    Either way, follow the instructions here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Remember, if you share an iCloud account, you won't be able to maintain independent Contact lists, calendars, bookmarks etc. They will all be synced to all devices setup using the same account.

  • HT204053 i accidently set up one account for i cloud and one for itunes. suggestions on how do i update this to only the one. please on how do i change my icloud to be the same as my itunes acct. thanks

    i accidently set up one account for icloud and one for itunes; suggestions on how to correct this and use just one account for both.... thanks

    If you want to change your iCloud ID to another existing ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.  To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    This will not move your photo stream, however.  If you have photos in photo stream that aren't in your camera roll and that you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account.  To do this, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  You can then delete the iCloud account and your photos will stay in your camera roll.

    Can I use iCloud to since many users to one account for my business and have me as a administrator to oversee and change my employees calendars and contacts??

    Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID?   (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

  • Creating more than one account for a single user

    I was wondering, if I creat more than one account for me (the only person that uses my powerbook) is that going overboard? I mean, lets say I am logged into the standard account and I want to learn more about the bash shell and using terminal which I am new to, if I **** something up will the whole system be toast or will only things in that account be messed up? Like could I then just log into my admin account and delete the other messed up one? Or no? My theory was that this was a way of keeping my comp safe from myself, being that I am new to macs and moreso that I am new to the unix side of things and want to start learning the command line without worrying about screwing up my whole system. I would just use the standard account for everyday use (like what I do now) or experiment with terminal, and when I need to download something or change some settings that requires me to be logged in as admin then I would log in and download what I need then log out and use it in the standard account...am I just wasting my time? Is what I am doing any "safer" than just having one admin account and thats it?
    Thanks for all the help! It feels good to be a part of the goodguys team =)
    Thanks again!

    Ghost,
    First, I don't subscribe to the "one should not use an admin account" philosophy. For someone who is the owner and main user of any given machine, I see the use of anything but an admin account a bit anal, totally unecessary, and needlessly complicating.
    On the other hand, I don't see the need for more than one admin account on any given machine. Yes, I see exceptions to this, and many people favor having a second admin account as a "backup," but I have never had more than one admin account on any of my machines, and have never encountered a situation where one would have helped.
    In short, I like the idea of having a "main" admin account that is used most of the time, and then having "secondary" accounts (all non-admin) for any additional users that might log in.
    Now, any limitations that apply to you as a GUI user of an account, admin or not, will apply to you at the command line as well. In other words, you can't get yourself into any more trouble at the command line than you can within the GUI. In fact, you might even be better protected at the command line than you are in the GUI. I say this because any action that would ordinarily "elevate" you above the standard capabilities of a non-admin user require the use of "sudo." Avoid the use of sudo, and you can avoid any problems.
    That doesn't mean that you wouldn't be able to do something stupid that might wreck an account that contains "all of your stuff," and on which you depend. It is not likely that you would damage your System, but it is entirely conceivable that you might, for example, accidently delete or overwrite your entire HOME folder. Oops!
    If you simply don't trust yourself with the command line, a second account might be a good place to experiment. Maybe create it as a non-admin account at first, with the option to change it to an admin account at a later time, when you want to learn how to use "sudo" to do more powerful things. By then, you will understand what not to do. Eventually, you will have the confidence to use the command line in your own account, which will have been an admin account all this while.

  • How can I use multiple ipad's on one account without sharing individuals personal email accounts?

    Is it possible to have multiple ipads on one account and share info, but also allow the individual users to have personal email that is not seen on the other ipad's? We have all ipads on same icloud account because we all need to see the same ical. It seems like that's the problem. If it IS related to icloud then if we have separate icloud accounts, how would we share the main ical otherwise? Sharing the ical is very important for this business so everyone can access the daily schedule. Of course each user still wants to have private email.
    Hope this wasn't too confusing!
    Thanks!
    Doreen

    you could set up the main icloud itunes acount for ical and not have in setup on the devices
    and share the calandar with the other itunes accounts on the devices
    or only have it on one device
    devices have the users indervidual itunes icloud setup
    they should be able to access the shared "main" itunes icloud ical account once it's shared
    http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57542557-285/three-methods-for-sharing-an-ic loud-calendar/
    if the devices are company owned you could go futher and setup find my iphone on the main itunes account
    and not on the user icloud accounts

  • One Account for Multiple Businesses

    I run a number of small companies and want to use Skype to handle the phone calls.
    Each company needs to have its own phone number.
    I know that I can have up to 10 numbers associated with one account, which is great. However I don't know the specifics of how this will work in practice.
    What I need to know is:
    1. Will I be able to tell which number was called when receiving a call (so that I can answer with the appropriate company name)?
    2. Will I be able to tell which number was called if the call goes to an answerphone?
    3. Will I be able to customise the answerphone outgoing message so that it's different for each number?
    4. Can two people on separate devices be logged into the same account with these multiple numbers at the same time?
    4a. If so, can these two people call each other using this account?
    4b. If so, can they each answer separate calls?
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
