Syncing 2 itunes accounts to one ipad?

I have an ipad2 for work (plus a work itunes account). Can I sync music from my itunes account (personal) that my wife and I share at home?

I think things may be getting confused with terminology a bit. You can only sync an iPad with a single iTunes library on a single computer. That iTunes library, though, can have content from up to five iTunes Store accounts. So if you're purchasing content from a home account in the iTunes Store as well as from a work iTunes Store account, or you're using a single account but purchasing from both the home and work computers, then you can have it all on your iPad. You just need to get the content into iTunes on onto a single computer, whichever one you have decided to use to sync your iPad. If you need help moving content from one computer to the other, post back and we can help further with that.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

    How can I use different iTunes accounts on one iPad?

    You can't, well not easily anyway.  The iPad is not meant as a multi account device. 
    You can Sign Out of your iTunes account in Settings->iTunes and App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out
    However if you sign in with another ID and then download past purchases with it you will lock out the previous ID for 90 days. Which means it will not be able to be used on the iPad for 90 days.

    can I have two different iTunes account on one iPad

    No, not at the same time. You can use two different Apple ID/iTunes accounts on one iPad, but it is not advisable since you can lock yourself out of one of the ID's for 90 days if you download previously purchased content using the second ID.

  • Two iTunes accounts on one iPad?

    Hi. My husband and I have itunes accounts on two separate laptops. However the laptops are now old and both don't work anymore. I can access my itunes from my ipad.  Can we have both iTunes accounts on one iPad without merging the accounts? Thank you!

    Yea, but here's your problem...... You have to go into settings, store, tap ID, sign out, then sign in with the other. You can download everything from other account. If you have to update an app that's with the opposite account, then you have to repeat that process. Since the apps are tied to that apple I'd, updating requires to sign in with that account. The iPad technically is a 1 user device, but it is possible. Just if you don't mind logging in to his once and a while to update.

  • I am thinking of purchasing and iPad 2. Me and my wife both have iPhones and separate iTunes accounts. Is it possible to access both of our iTunes accounts on one iPad?

    I have been toying with the idea of purchasing an iPad 2. Me and my wife both have separate  iTunes accounts as we both have iPhones. I just wondered if it's possible to log into more than one iTunes account on one iPad, or if not would we have to set up a joint iTunes account?

    What you could do is have one of you with the main iTunes account and use home sharing to get access to your wife's iTunes music, etc.  my wife and I do this, but we each have our own iPads.

    How can my wife and I use our two iTunes accounts on one IPad

    Unfortunately it will be difficult. iPads are personal devices like phones and done have credentials. You can of course log out of and into the app store to download purchased apps but the iPad will then have all the apps of both your wife and you (though you could put these into folders I guess).

  • Multiple iTunes accounts on one iPad

    I just today purchased an iPad2, and while we were in the Apple store, the gentleman helping us set up the iTunes account on the device, using my daughter's iTunes account information.  Is there a way to have 2 iTunes account on a single iPad, as I have no need for the anemic vocal stylings of Taylor Swift?  If not, is there a way to put my music into her library and then just have Mommy's stuff on its own playlist?

    You can sign in and out of two different iTunes accounts on the iPad but  - if the iPad is for your use - since you both have your own computers - I would recommend creating your own Apple ID and iTunes account. This way you can sync to your own computer and she can sync to hers.
    Go to Settings>Store on the iPad. You should see your daughter's email address which is her Apple ID. Tap on the email address and a window will pop up that will allow you to sign out of her account. Then you can create your Apple ID and iTunes account.

    The only thing about this is if you bought something already with her account - and I'm speaking only about purchases now - you will lose those items when you sync to iTunes. Any free apps can be downloaded again so no need to worry about those.

  • Is it possible to connect two iTunes accounts to one iPad?

    We are looking at an enterprise deployment for the iPad 2.  We would like to have a corporate owned iTunes account and also allow individuals to use their personal iTunes account.  Is this possible and if so is there a document that exists on this topic?  Thank you.

    You can sync content from up to five iTunes Store accounts to a given iPad, if that's what you mean. An iPad can only be synced to a single iTunes library, though, so all content for each iPad has to be in a single library on a single computer.
    If that doesn't cover your question, please post back.

  • Syncing two account with one iPad

    Today I am logining to itunes with my account associated with my US address to buy apps for my iPad.
    But when iPad is available for other countries say Japan and HK, chances are I will want to either register my Apple ID under Japan/Hong Kong address and buy apps with it. Of course I would register a new local credit card as well.
    Would this cause any trouble with all those Apps I purcahsed earlier? Would I still be able to use those old apps?

    With all the guru here, seems like no one has encountered my problem?

  • HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

    Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

    You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
    However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
    So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
    Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
    P.S  audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.
