Same app download, use on two iphones?
I have a macbook pro. I have an iPhone and my wife has an iPhone. Each of us has a separate user account on the MBP.
If I download a paid app from the AppStore, am I allowed to use it on both iPhones? I know the ITMS lets you authorize bought tunes on five machines. Is this principle in place with apps?
If I log into her account, then log into my ITMS account and re-download the app in question, will it install on her iPhone?
I have searched the list, but have had no luck with an answer.
Thanks,
Roger
Hm.. you can connect the other iPhone of yours to the same computer. Wait for a pop-up from iTunes; stating such as if you wish to register and accept this device as a trusted one. Click accept and you should be able to go about with it, if I'm not mistaken.

I downloaded a free Merriam-Webster Dictionary app for use on my iphone 5. I thought I followed the download process properly, but cannot see that the app is launched on my phone. I have checked my phone for 'updates' and the app is listed among the ones I have purchased. I clicked on it and it began installing, however, it still has not launched. I get a message screen to sign in with my Apple ID, which I tried, and I get the message that I have purchased this app and it will download. When I try to sign in, I get the message that it can't connect to the itunes store and to retry. I've done that several times without any luck...not sure where else to look for the 'working' app. I did try re-booting the phone...even did a 'hard reset' to no avail...help?

With iPod you can have more than one to the same ID?

YvonneIf I create a new iTunes account for the German itunes store, what happened with my previous purchases? Do they remain on my iPhone and my Mac's iTunes?
Nothing will happen to your existing purchases. Your computer will remain authorized - you can authorize a single computer to up to five iTunes Store accounts - and the apps and content will remain in place.
Can I switch from one acount to the other every time I want to update an application or purchase a new one?
As long as you're in the relevant country, yes. Again, the terms of use say that you agree not to even attempt to use an iTunes Store from outside of its country.

I currently have aT-Mobile sim, and therefore, a UK telephone number. Can I get a sim from EE with the same number to use in my iphone 5?
The easiest way to find out what carrier it's locked to would be to call the store where you purchased the phone.
The phone can be unlocked from any location. However, most carrier have restrictions about unlocking and you have to contact them for details. -
Why are my apps downloading to my husbands iphone?
I set up a seperate itunes account for myself so that this would not happen but now my recent app purchases are downloading to my husbands iphone as well as mine. Why is that?
I think I might have figured it out, but perhaps someone with more knowledge can tell me.
I believe what happened is that I plugged my phone into our computer and automatically assumed that iTunes would notice the seperate accounts and switch them. So I didn't log out of my husbands iTunes account and synced my phone. We use the same password for both Apple ID's or iTunes accounts, whichever they are called, so when my phone asked for my password to download the new apps it could have changed the ID and I not realise it.
So right now I have logged out of my husbands iTunes account, logged into mine and am now syncing. My new question, will this fix the problem so long as we take the care to log into the correct account before syncing? -
How to automatically have apps download on iPad from iPhone
I want apps I download on my iphone to go automatically to my iPad
This is applicable if the app is universal for both iphone and ipad.
settings - itunes/app store - automatic downloads - apps - on
If the apps aren't universal then this won't work and you would have to download the app for the iphone and ipad separately -
Wanting some help , since I updated my IPad I can no longer download apps or movies on my iPad , it won't even let me sign I. .
I also have an iPhone which is synced and I updated them both the same day and I have no problems with the phone only the iPad . Any help would be appreciated . ThanksHello there, Gwald.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some great recommendations for troubleshooting your issue:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
Specific to iPad are the following:
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

I have two iMAC computers, one at home in Sydney Australia and one in Korat Thailand.
I want to software updates through my Sydney AppleID.
When an attempt was made to update OSX the server rejected the attempt in ThailandSure - as long as you use the same apple ID on both devices you can download it to both devices. Why is is greyed out on her iPad is not clear to me - other than the app is actually on her iPad via Automatic Downloads and she doesn't realize that its on the device. Is that possible?
Search for the app on her iPad- swipe to the right from the first home screen and type in the name of the App at the top in the search field. Does it show up? -
Error Message When Leaving Review For Apps Downloaded Using a Different Country App Store
DEVICES AND SOFTWARE:
iPhone 6 Plus iOS 8.1.2, Macbook Air 11" 2013 OSX 10.10.2, iTunes 12.1.0.50
DESCRIPTION:
When attempting to leave a review for an App that has been previously downloaded or purchased using a different country store but on the same Apple ID - the user receives an error message. The issue stems from the App not being in the Purchase History of the presently associated country store as purchase history is country dependent rather than Apple ID dependent.
STEPS:
1. Login the App Store on iTunes or iOS Device using an Apple ID associated with a country.
2. Download an App for the first time using said Apple ID.
3. Change the country of said Apple ID.
4. Attempt to leave a review of the previously downloaded app.
EXPECTED RESULTS:
A user should be able to leave a review to an App he/she has previously downloaded whilst the Apple ID is associated with a different country. The App Store button should show Downloaded after the country change and the App should continue to be displayed in the Purchase history. In other words the purchase history should not be country dependent but Apple ID dependent.
ACTUAL RESULTS:
User gets an error message indicating that the app needs to be downloaded or purchased first.
NOTES:
I have tried deleting my reviews from the original country store, and yet I am still not able to leave a review. Please make the purchase history dependent on the Apple ID rather than the Country Store. If this is not possible, provide a way for users to remove to delete the purchase history from the previous country store(s) - so these apps can appear on their current country store's purchase history. Thus they would be able to leave reviews for these apps.We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.

ICal combined use with two iPhone 4s units.
I am about to acquire two new iPhone 4s phones, one for me and another for the spouse. Would we be able to use the one calendar on our MacPro Book to update both phones or will we each need a separate calendar? Via the cloud of course.
If you use the same Apple ID, iCal data can be synced to both phones with iCloud. If you and your spouse want different Apple ID's, you will need seperate calendars.

Apps downloading real slow on iPhone 5?
I just got the 5 after my 4 mysteriously died last night. None of my apps showed up so I went to the app store and started downloading all the ones I used to have on my old phone (they were marked with a cloud). There are about 30, and they are still downloading after 45 min....
Also, can somebody tell me where my pics and texte messages are? last time I switched phone, they showed up aotomatically.Text messages and pics are in the backup that you made of the old phone. If you did not restore the new phone with a backup of the old, that would explain why you did not get the pics and text messages back.

HT3281 Can I stop the app downloading using my cellular data?
I onto want the podcast app to sync when using wifi can I do this?
Hi, Jmcruzs.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need clarification on what you mean by software update to provide a better answer. However, it does sounds like you may have automatic app updates enabled. Here is a helpful article that will help you adjust these settings.

Charged twice for the same app download
Thus far, I have been a happy Mac & iphone user however, I believe I have been erroneously charged for a product I have purchased and downloaded before.
The program is AirportMania: First Flight. Here are the details of my first purchase:
Airport Mania:First Flight, v1.0.1
My original order number was: MG9HYYWXG4
receipt number is #166001602814,with
receipt date: 06/05/09.
However, when I downloaded Airport Mania: First Flight again this past week, I was charged another time for the program I had paid before. Here are the details of the latest download:
Airport Mania:First Flight, v1.3
The new order number is: MGN5B1TGFT
receipt number is #208019174140 with
receipt date: 02/06/11
Does anybody know how I can contact Apple about this? Hoping that Apple can help clarify the matter for me.iTunes

If I buy an app for my iPad 2 do I have to buy another copy of the app to use on my iPhone 5?
Depends all IOS apps that work on the iPhone/iPod touch can be scaled/doubled to work on iPad, however those built specifically for iPad won't work on the smaller brethren.
You can see in iTunes what apps can be synced to each device type.
