One Apple ID on two iMacs - will it work

Since I can not stream movie rentals from one system to another, can I use the same Apple ID on two computers, use one exclusively for rentals (e.g. my mini with the small HD) and one for purchases (the iMac with the bigger HD). Is that feasible? I don't want to create another (second) Apple ID and have it to "maintain."
Thanks
Bill

To add this: The only restriction you have to face: You may only authorize 5 different computers with one iTMS account.

One apple id on two phones, will they both disappear?

I have the same apple id on two phones if i delete it from the other one will it disappear from both of them?

No. Removing an Apple ID from one iOS device has no effect on any other iOS device, whether it's linked to the same Apple ID or not.
Where and how are you deleting this Apple ID from the device? If in iCloud, be careful about choosing the right option in regards to your previously synced iCloud contacts, for example.

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?

How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

Two users share one Apple ID, on two phones. can they be separated without losing phone backups? IE creating a new ID for one of the users?

my in-laws share one apple id for two separate iPhones. They would like to create a new ID for one of the users but maintain his current backup. can this be done?

If you want to create a new account make sure you sign out of everything via the settings. (ICloud, iTunes, facetime, messages, etc) APPS: since the apps were downloaded with a different apple ID, you will always need to use the password for the apple ID that downloaded that particular APP when it needs to be updated. Unless it is free, you can simply delete it and download it under the new apple ID. As for the music, you can keep it on the IOS device, but if it's accidentally deleted, you'd have to sign back into the original account and download from the cloud. (But, you risk getting the 90 day lockout. )

HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID for two Apple IPhones?

Can I use one Apple ID for two Apple IPhones? I received an answer of yes.
Now another question. I have one ICloud Account, Two IPhones. Can I use Find my IPhone via the one ICloud Account? Can I see two IPhones on the map at the same time? or do I need to view the second phone via some other method.

HT204053 Should I use one Apple id for two Apple products

I Bought iPad and already had iPhone ans used same I'd for both
want to know if in future I deleted apps from my iPhone will it be deleted from my iPad also or visa versa

Yes, yes, yes, always use ONLY ONE Apple ID. Multiple IDs will cause multiple problems.
Deleting from one device will not result in deletion from other devices.
It's best to manage your devices from iTunes on a computer. The iTunes will know which device is which but you might want to name them (in iTunes) for your own convenience. You can then decide which music, apps, movies, etc. belong on which device(s).

Is it ok to use one apple id for two devices ?

Here's the deal: The SLA permits the "sharing" of content with up to 5 family members in the same household. Any other distribution of content is considered stealing...the SLA does not give you the right to distribute content in any way, shape or form. Its really that simple, and "friend" is NOT a family member living in the same household.

HI
I was trying to take my Mac air to factory default settings.
I've done all that it says in the documment i was following, and them during the process it asked me the APPLE ID.
I put the apple id i have in my iphone. But it's not the one... it's said that i don't have any OSX associated with it... so it can not install the OSX.
So what can i do?

Syncing one itunes library between two imac's

In itunes 10, I enabled home share on my two imac's. One imac is new, the other mac has my itunes library.
I signed onto both imac's home shares with the "same" apple ID. The items library on my old imac now shows up in the new imac itunes library in my itunes list as "joes itunes library".
Now... how can I sync or copy the entire library between the two imac's, using some sort of "sync" process? I noticed an "import" button at the bottom looking at the "joes itunes library" list on the new imac. If I highlight one selection, it will import that into the new imac itunes library. But i didn't really want to highlight every single movie, tv and music file then import. I was hoping there was a "sync" method to keep both imac itunes libraries mirrored. There must be a way to do this?

When using homeshare, I realized I CANNOT buy new media thru itunes.
When buying music, apps or video, the purchase fails.
Says "contact itunes support to complete transaction".
Tried several times.
Even changed credit cards on the acct. Still no go.
Not a credit card issue
iTunes tech was pretty much clueless. Told me to try the purchase
after waiting 24 hours.
Then I started thinking about homeshare and media rights, so I turned off
homeshare on both mac's, and the purchase went thru.
Apple added homeshare to the latest itunes update, or media share (what ever they call it), but looks like something is at issue as to media rights and homeshare and buying from itunes with share is enabled.

Using one Apple ID with two iPhones

A couple has his and her phones but only one Apple ID. They want to keep his and her music separate. They have checked the appropriate playlists for each phone, but the entire music library is on both phones. Can the music be separated in this situation?

Really appreciate this quick response. So I guess there won't be an issue to use the same id on two iPhones at the same time.
Thanks again!

One apple account with two icloud accounts

Our family has 5 devices on our apple account? I recently upgraded to 5c and found out we do not have enough memory in icloud for everything. Apple store said set up a new icloud account for my phone only. Done but now everyone else is now on my cloud. Can u have multiple iCloud's on one apple account?

Each iCloud account has a unique ID. If you want a separate iCloud account you would need to create it using a different Apple ID. You can continue to share the same ID for other services such as iTunes; the ID for these services does not need to be the same as your iCloud ID. It's recommended, however, that you do not share the same ID for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls on your devices.
