Syncing to a new device; can two devices be on one iTunes account

I just got an iPhone 5c. I plan on giving my iPhone 4 to my daughter. When I tried to sync my information from the 4 to the 5c, iTunes did not list the 5c under 'devices' when I plugged it in to my laptop.  Does this mean I need to have two iTunes accounts - one for each phone? How do I get my music, apps, etc transferred from one phone to the other? Going forward, can I run both phones on one account with one ID, or is that not recommended? Any help would be greatly appreciated - I'm completely lost. Thank you!!

    How many devices can I have connected to one iTunes account?

    If you mean authorized computers, five.
    If you mean devices associated with iTunes Match or automatic downloads, ten.
    If you mean devices synced with a single iTunes library, there’s no limit.

  • HT4972 Can you have two iPhones to the one iTunes account? I am overseas and using the old iPhone 4 here, but also have a current iPhone 5.

    I have two iPhones, a 5 which I currently use and an old 4 which I use as a second phone as I am overseas. I have connected both to iTunes. Does this cause any problems have two phones on the one iTune account, as far as updates, etc goes?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    It won't cause any problem. Moreover, you will be able to share the purchases between both phones and have the same information by using iCloud, so you don't lose anything

  • Using two apple IDs on one Itunes account

    I recently purchases a ipad for my 86 year old mother. I want to also add music to it that I have cd's for. She now has an Apple ID of her own and I have my own Apple ID. The problem is this, when I log out of my itunes account and log in as her, I can still see all my music library as her. How do I see NOTHING under her account, until I actually load in music for her. Then can i sync her ipad using my OWN Mac and have it appear on her ipad? I have not enabled home sharing at all. Thank you!

    Phil, I am confused about your statement/answer:
    ""Is it possible to create two Apple IDs on one iTunes account?"
    Yes.  I have two."
    Apple says:
    "An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID."
    Thus an Apple ID is the same as the iTunes account.
    Did you mean can yu use more than one Apple ID on one iPod because yuo know the answr is yes.
    Or have I go something wrong?

  • Can I have more than one itunes account on my apple tv?

    Can I have more than one itunes account on my apple tv?  We have two accounts in our family and would like to be able to switch between them.

    Thank you.  What I was really trying to find out is if there is a limit on switching iTunes accounts - I have a vague memory of reading that changing from one iTunes store account to another was going to be limited in some way, but maybe this is on iTunes itself?  Or perhaps my memory is incorrect?   We have two iTunes accounts and swap back and forth regularly on our iPhones and iPads to buy and update apps without a problem.  I couldn't find any reference to it on a quick search yesterday so what I have done with the AppleTV is leave it set to one account, and we watched the other account content via my Macbook.

  • Can you have more than one iTunes account with home sharing, Can you have more than one iTunes account with home sharing

    Can you have more than one itunes account at one time with apple tv

    My understanding is that the home sharing is based off of being on the same Wifi.  So if someone brings their laptop to your house and connects to your Wifi and they have home sharing on they can connect so you can see his/her iTunes library on your iTunes. 
    I haven't tried this though.  We have two laptops at home, both using my iTunes account and I can see each other's iTunes library, which I'm guessing is what you're probably doing now.  I'd be interested to know if my thought above is true.

  • HT204150 can you have more then one itunes account on an icloud?

    can you have more then one itunes account on an icloud?

    I Have two iTunes accounts because I spend half the year in Canada and other half in U.S.
    I Just  switch the country. I have to do this because an iTunes card purchased in the U.S. Is not valid in the Canada store. And Vice Versa.
    i Also have two icloud accounts. That is what I don't know about.
    Do I need two? Can I have all my purchases in each country under one account?

  • HT1711 can u transfer music from one itunes account to another if belonging to the same household

  • HT1918 can we transfer credit from one itunes account to another?

    can we transfer credit from one itunes account to another?

    If you haven't spent any of it, the iTunes Store staff can put the balance back onto the card, which can then be redeemed into another account.

  • Can I transfer purchases from one itunes account to another, if so how

    Can I transfer purchases from one itunes account to another, if so how

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    Answering quickly, though, if you mean you want to transfer a purchase from one iTunes Store account to another, you cannot.
