Right management: How many devices can share a certain piece of music when using Home Sharing?

Considering a family of 4, each of us having between 2 and 3 devices. Can all of them use music through Home Sharing or is the limit of 5 applying?
Thanks

A maximum of five computers can use Home Sharing at one time. If this limit has been reached and you want to add a new Home Share, deauthorize one or more computers by choosing Deauthorize Computer from the Store menu in iTunes. For more information about authorization and deauthorization, see About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization.
Supposedly, you can use Home Sharing with as many iOS devices as you want on your network.

    How many computers can share the same iTunes account?

    Hello cincip,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities. The following article provides more information on associating multiple computers with your Apple ID:
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • How many devices can I link to my I-cloud/I-match account?

    I have an I-cloud and I-match account with all my music on, most of which consists of my own cd's copied onto it.  I've just bought my mum an iPod nano 6th generation for her birthday and I want to put some music onto it for her so it's all ready to go.  I'm aware I can't put music I bought from I-tunes onto her device but can I copy my copied cd collection onto it for her?  I have 4 Apple devices already linked to my account.
    I'll be copying from a MacBook Pro to her device, then the rest of the time her downloads will be added on a Windows PC.  Is this possible/legal?  How many devices can you link to one iTunes account?
    Many thanks.

    For the main question:  http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/.
    You can authorize up to 10 devices on iTunes Match. 
    An iPod nano is not a device that works with iTunes Match so any music you put in it will have to go through itunes. Which means yes, you can put music you've bought from itunes on her device, as well as your imported music. That iPod won't count as one of the 10 devices either because it will not be using iTunes Match.
    Your plan might not go so smoothly if you plan on synchronizing the ipod to two different libraries.  You'd be safer importing any music you want to share with her from your library to her computer either by downloading with your own Apple ID or through another media (DVD,  external HD...) and authorizing.  And yes, this is legal, but you may only authorize a limited number of computers with your Apple ID:   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • How many devices can a WRT54G successfully route?

    I have a client that is trying to use a WRT54G router to route traffice coming from a Linksys SRW224G4P managed switch. The client has 18 VoIP devices and 6 computers running over this setup.
    How many devices can the WRT54G successfully process as a router?

    i don't think that these many VOIP devices would work with a SOHO router like WRT54G....i would recommend u to go for a enterprise level router for your kind of set up...

  • How many devices can connect at once

    I have an AirPort Extreme running my home wifi network.  How many devices can connect to it at one time?  What solutions are there if I'm over that limit?

    If you have a recent model AirPort Extreme, it will allow a total of about 250 devices to connect.....50 wireless plus an additional 200 Ethernet devices.
    Keep in mind that all devices share the same Internet connection bandwidth.
    So, if you have a 20 Mbps Internet service and you have 20 devices connected to the AirPort Extreme, then each device will receive about 1Mbps of bandwidth. That might be OK for light browsing, but a big file download is going to be SLOW.
    Another way of saying the same thing is that the network slows down as you add more devices. If you need more speed, you'll need to talk to your Internet Service Provider about a faster connection plan.
    The AirPort Extreme will handle far more speed than your ISP can ever hope to deliver.

  • How many devices can i run lion on it?

    how many devices can i run lion on it?

    As far as licensing goes, it seems that as long as all the Macs are being used in your household, there's no limit.
    From the Lion license file:
    "If you obtained a license for the Apple Software from the Mac App Store, then subject to the terms and conditions of this License and as permitted by the Mac App Store Usage Rules set forth in the App Store Terms and Conditions (http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/ww/) (“Usage Rules”), you are granted a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license:
    i) to download, install, use and run for personal, non-commercial use, one (1) copy of the Apple Software directly on each Apple-branded computer running Mac OS X Snow Leopard or Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control."

  • How many devices can sync to one apple ID?

    How many devices can sync to one apple ID?  I need to get all my music from an old computer to my new computer.  I just purchased an album on my new computer and it's not syncing with my iPhone 5 and I don't want to pay $25 for the Cloud.

    You can sync as many idevices as you like to one computer/library
    The iphone will sync with one and only one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content fro the iphone.

  • I'm a school tech coordinator. Many computers and many iPads. How many Apple IDs can I have per device, and how many devices can have the same Apple ID? To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

    I'm a school tech coordinator. I have many computers and many iPads. I apologize if there is a some place that has all the rules governing the use of Apple IDs. I looked, and I even tried to get the answers from multiple Apple rep's. I couldn't find the answers.
    How many Apple IDs can I have per device?
    I want to use the same computer to sync and backup many iOS devices. The iOS devices would be associated with different Apple IDs.
    I may load apps under a school Apple ID and have users load their own apps under thier own ID.
    How many devices can have the same Apple ID?
    Can I use the same Apple ID on all the computers in a lab?
    Can I use the same Apple ID on all iPads for a particular grade level?
    Are the rules different for iOS devices and computers?
    I know that there are limits on "authorize" and "de-authorize" and how frequently those things can be done.
    Recently I heard that for the life of an iOS device, it can only be associated with five Apple IDs. That is not good for a school giving iPads to students in a 1:1
    To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

    It would be best to address your questions there, especially since this is a public forum, and over there you could post more private issues with this set-up. Not to mention, getting more official answers.

    Isn't that the same thing?  You're allowed to associate up to 10 devices with the Apple ID on the iTunes account....but are you saying that the limitation is only for music - not apps?

    So I can sync two iPods to my iTunes account and sync the same digital copy movies that come with some o' my DVDs to both ipods? Do movies make a difference really, DRM-Wise? Thanks in advance.
