How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?

How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
Hi there
My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
How do I do this please?
I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
Any advise please?
Thanks

You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

Can 2 teachers share an ipod touch and put apps on it with two itune accounts

Can 2 teachers share an ipod touch and put apps on it with two itune accounts?

Sure. No problem.
Be aware that ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them. Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password. Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.
Minor nuisance if you choose to update apps from inside the computer's iTunes. If you're logged into the "wrong" account, it's necessary to log out/in to do the update. It's easier if you update from the iPod itself. No need to log out/in but you do need to know the password for the ID.

Sharing Apple TV with two iTunes Accounts

I have an iMac with an iTunes Account that is synced with an Apple TV. When I purchase movies on the Apple TV it bills my iTunes Account.
My Wife also has an iTunes Account separate from mine, and wishes to purchase movies on Apple TV and have the fee deducted from her her account.
Is it possible to have your Apple TV bill more than one account?

You will have to log into your wife itune account but from the TV.
Settings, itunes etc......

Will I have problems with two iTunes Accounts?

When I first bought my Mac, I didn’t have MobileMe, and therefore I used my Comcast email address in order to set up my iTunes account. I purchased several Apps, music, and iBooks under my Comcast account, however, since purchasing MobileMe, I have kept myself signed into iTunes under my MobileMe Account, and have made all purchases using my Mobileme iTunes account. Unfortunately, I know this means that I have two iTunes accounts.
For mail, I solely use MobileMe, and any email I get from Comcast, is forwarded to my MobileMe Account. When I get “App Updates” available on my iOS devices (iPhone 4S and iPad2), the “pop up” (which requires I enter my password to allow the download to begin) will be associated with either my Comcast email address, or my MobileMe address (depending upon which account I purchased the App, Music, or Book under). I do use only one single computer for backing up however.
While this hasn’t created any problems using an iTunes hard or wireless sync, I didn’t know if I will have any difficulties once migrating over to iCloud. I’m hopeful that everything works as it has. I don’t have a family account, all purchases under the Comcast and MobileMe addresses currently live locally on my iMac that I use for syncing.
Just wanted to check with you all before I migrate to iCloud, as I didn’t want to lose any of my Apps, Music or Books, nor do I want to have difficulties with App updates (e.g. problems migrating purchases to iCloud that were originally bought under my Comcast Account, or problems updating Apps when updates are available that were originally purchased under my Comcast Account).
Thanks you in advance for any input!
Best,
iDan
PS: I recently updates to iOS 5, and 10.7.2!

My personal experience has been no issues with either browser, including using a secure webmail account access. If others have reported issues, I really can't comment since I haven't had any. I have used my systems extensively in Paris and Zurich, especially at the technical university in Zurich and been satisfied with my access.
Of course, if you have more than one browser installed you can easily switch between them if problems do arise...a lot to be said for options

How do i associate my new mac with my itunes account?

I was trying to download a movie from icloud that I bought on itunes. it said that this device was not associated with my itunes account. how do I do that? I thought if I just logged into my account from this device it would do it.
Thank you

If the Mac is brand new you will need to authorize it, as well as sign into the store. In iTunes pull down Store > Authorize and enter your iTunes Store account AppleID credentials.

Can two people with two iTunes account share an iPad

Just a question. I want to share my iPad but not my iTunes account.. How

Yes.
When updating an app that was downloaded with another iTunes account, you must use that iTunes account and password. If the password for each iTunes account is not known by the other, you can't download any apps or iTunes content with the other person's iTunes account and vice-versa. The same for app updates.

How to access a shared disk with two users account on same Mac

I am seeking how to share / access at same time with two accounts on a same Mac a disk that is shared with a TC or an AEBS. When a user account is connected to the shared drive and when I switch to the 2nd user this 2nd user cannot access / see the content of the shared drive and it receives an error message. I want to use this shared drive to store some GB of movies I do not want to have on my MacBook Pro SSD but still bring able to access them from the two accounts that are set on my Mac. Just like for an internal drive. I have tried all I could but it does not want to work. How do I do that ? Thanks.

If you were running this software, the Mac's Bonjour would automatically "discover" The Linux machine.

How to split one shared iTunes library associated with two iTunes accounts?

My boyfriend and I share one computer and have one shared iTunes library on that computer. We both maintain our own separate iTunes accounts. We have very different tastes in music, literature, film, etc. the library has become quite large and my boyfriend is frustrated by the complexity of synching his devices to just his selections and would like to separate our purchases into two separate libraries based on our iTunes account purchases. What is the easiest way to split into two different libraries?

To my knowledge, there's no quick way.

Apple TV sync'd with one MacBookPro with two iTunes accounts

The music videos on my computer were purchased with two separate authorized iTunes accounts but the AppleTV will only authorize one account. The MacBookPro plays music videos authorized under either account. Is there any way I can use the Apple with both accounts ?

I have my AppleTV happily syncing and playing content purchased by three different iTunes store accounts. All I can think is one or other of the account authorisations needs to be re-entered on the Macbook Pro before you re-sync. Log on to the MBP under the Mac account you are using to sync with the AppleTV, start up iTunes, and double-click to play one track that has been purchased with each of the different accounts.
This will make sure all those iTunes accounts are still authorised - I find sometimes one or other might need to be re-authorised after an iTunes update - and also that they are still readable/playable by iTunes running under that account (ie that the file location in iTunes' catalog is still pointing to the right place). When you then sync with the AppleTV the files should all copy across, and subsequently be playable just fine on there.

Sharing Music between two Itunes accounts

I bought my father a nano for Xmas and want to load music from my I tunes account on his nano. But he has his own Itunes account. How can he keep the music I loaded and sync his own Itunes with his nano without deleteing songs? We both have PC with XP.

This article describes two methods:
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
If you want only one library, use the second method.
There are some disadvantages:
If one of the users deletes a song, the other can't play it no more.
If one user adds a song, the other has to add it to his/her library too.
Hope this helps.

How 2 sync 2 iPhones on 2 computers with two iTunes accounts and 1 library?

Hi,
I've been searching a LOT for a suitable answer to my problem, but so far without any luck!
This is what I've got:
1 iPhone4 syncing with one MacBook via iTunes account1 (mine)
1 iPhone3Gs syncing with one XP laptop via iTunes account2 (my girlfriend's)
1TB usb drive connected to Airport Extreme holding the entire iTunes library. All the music, apps, podcasts, etc.
Both iTunes accounts are set up so they point to the 1TB drive, but it's not without problems...
What I'd like, is for both computers to be able to "see" the iTunes library, and add files to it, that'll be accessible from each.
And still sync each iPhone with it's own iTunes account.
Is this possible? Or do I need to use the same iTunes account on all phones and computers?
What I've got, apparently, is home-sharing set up in a way that when I add content from iTunes Account1 to iTunes Account2, it gets added to the iTunes library again, and so I have a lot of doubles and, despite the size of the network drive, I'm actually running out of space.
Is there a way to avoid this?
Best regards,
Jakob Færch-Jensen

First off all I would recommend against shating between accounts since Aperture was not designed for this and your might encounter library corruption.
You might try this tip on Macworld.com. It requires you to use the Terminal though. Make sure you follow the commands exactly, without any typo's before you hit the enter key to execute a command. (And make a TimeMachine backup before you start.)
After you've complete this, start a new library in the place where you set the extended permissions on. Then everything should work.
A seccond tip is to setup the Aperture library on an external drive and set this volume(drive) to ignore ownership permissions.

Sharing apps between two iTunes accounts

Thanks!

HT4352 AppleTV with two iTunes accounts

My wife and I have separate iTunes accounts. Can our AppleTV access content from both of them, or just one?

It can only access one at a time. You can go into settings and input both of them in but you would need to switch between them.
