Syncing two devices to same iTunes account

Is it possible to sync two iPods to the same iTunes account? I have had a iPod Classic and just got a Shuffle and would like to use the same account for both devices.

yes, but be careful because it has only one music library (i had) and all music from one ipod was automatically synchronized to another ipod

  • Sync two laptops with same itunes account

    I have two macbooks that share the same itunes account. The data is not synced, so I have some songs on one but not on the other. I am sharing, but I want to sync them so the data is the same on both. Any ideas?

    you could see if Doug's AppleScripts has a script that helps with the pre-home sharing content.
    alternatively, you could move your library to a centralized location and have your Mac's access the same library file. click here for information.

  • HT2480 two devices on my itunes account, want different apps for each

    I have two devices on my itunes account, an ipad I use for business and an iphone I use mostly for personal.  I want to keep only business apps on my ipad and most/all apps on my phone, but every time I try to sync, itunes tries to reinstall all of my apps regardless of device.
    Does anyone have a solution for how I can have two devices with different selections of the apps I have paid for without downloading all of the apps to each device?  I tried just not syncing the ipad but then it had technical problems and the genius bar needed to delete a bunch of notes from the device, so that is sub-optimal.

    You need to set both devices up in itunes to sync manually: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

  • SYNCING RINGTONES ON TWO IPHONES ON SAME ITUNES ACCOUNT ?

    i have been trying for ages me an the missus both have the iphone 3gs ios 4 operating system i have all the ringtones on my phone but when i go to transfer to her phone either one or none appear......
    i have home sharing on.........as we all use the same account for our ipod touches an iphones even the shuffles....
    but i CANNOT get itunes to or her phone for that matter to recognise that they are on the same account and all i want to do is share them with her..............
    any help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    i need you

    Yes. She can just download it from her iPhone as if she were purchasing new and the iTunes Store will notify her that the app has already been purchased and allow her to download it again. If by "same iTunes account", you mean the same iTunes Store account, there shouldn't be any problems. Otherwise she'll have to sign into the iTunes Store using the account under which the app was purchased.
    Alternatively, she can copy the app from your iTunes library to hers (if hers is separate) and sync from the computer.
    Regards.

  • How do I sync apps from the same iTunes account to an iPhone 3G and an iPhone 4S and keep correct version for each iOS?

    I have an old 3G as well as a 4S. Initially I set up a separate iTunes account for the 4S as I was worried I'd lose my old apps for 3G (as older, compatible versions aren't kept in the iTunes store so once they're gone, they're gone...). 3G is set up to sync with iTunes, 4S is inly syncing mail and conatcts through Exchange but hasn't been synced with an iTunes library for the reason above.
    Is there a way to sync both phones off the same iTunes account, so I can set up each phone with some music, as well as apps, without iOS 5 versions overwriting the exisitng apps for the 3G?
    To complicate things further, I don't want to sync photos, contacts, messages, etc. I just want to avoid having to duplicate all my music and pay for all the apps all over again. Suggestions?
    Cheers

    Hi gail,
    Thanks for the quick reply! The music part makes sense, good to know I don't have to duplicate the lot. The big question stillr emains as to whether iTunes can cope with two different iPhones, running different versions of the iOS, and therefore different app versions.
    Currently all the apps in iTunes are years old, and many haven't updated in months (years?) because the 3G is running iOS 4.2.1 (and can't be upgraded). Many of these have since been updated in the iTunes store (for the various incarnations of iPhone since) and the old versions that my 3G requires have been replaced.
    I'm worried that syncing the 4S running iOS 5, and running the most recent updates for same apps, will cause iTunes to overwrite the old 3G compatible ones when I sync. Unless iTunes is smart enough to know which version of the app is for which OS, without updating the legacy version when I update the apps on the 4S?
    You guys shouldn't face that problem, as iPad and iPhone apps don't replace each other (I believe? Not sure about this) as new updates are released for each app, you'd have a copy for each device (for example Evernote for iPad, and Evernote for iPhone). I can't figure out if iTunes can handle keeping separate iPhone versions for Evernote iOS 4.2.1 and Evernote for iOS 5. My gut feeling is no, but I want to amke sure before I lose the legacy versions of each app.
    Of course, maybe I'm just paranoid and iTunes is in fact perfectly capable of keeping old and new apps in the same library?
    Cheers

  • Can i have two devices sharing one itunes account

    i currently have my iphone synced with my itunes account, i have just bought a ipod and want it to share the same itunes account, library etc, how do i do this without wiping it off my phone when ading the new ipod ??

    This won't be a problem, iTunes will see the new device as a separate device, it will have its own settings under iTunes, you can set it up to sync the same content or different content to the first device, it will have no effect on how the first device syncs with iTunes.

  • Multiple ios devices share same itunes account. How do i imessage with them

    I have an iphone 4s, ipad 2 and two i touches. All are under one itunes account. When i try to i meassage my daughters touch  from my ipad it goes to my iphone even though i have her e mail under imessage.  How can i imessage between the different devices under the same itunes account e mail/ID. Do i need to

    You have to associate another email address on each of the iDevices and then remove the original email address (ID) that you used to set up iMessage.
    This explains how to do it.

  • Two users on same iTunes account

    I made a mistake of having myself and my son on the same iTunes account, any ideas how to take his I.D off my iTunes account, because whatever he downloads I get and visa versa. I'm using windows 7 on my laptop for iTunes.

    I would think the best thing to do would be for yourself or your son to make their own itunes account from sctratch.
    There should be all the instructions on this page to help you on your way / change your account details. -

  • How can I have two devices with separate iTunes accounts on the same computer without sharing libraries?

    I have an iPhone 3s and my sister has an iPhone 3.  We use them only as iPods.  We each have our own iTunes account, but we have to share a computer.  How can we both syn our devices without sharing our music and app libraries?

    The most reliable way would be to set up individual user accounts in WIndows. Then each of your iTunes libraries will be completely separate.

  • Can i use two devices with one itunes account?

    I share a laptop with my husband.  We have had "sync" issues in the past with his contacts and my contacts intermingling on our separate iPhones.  Can I create two different iTunes accounts for us to sync independently?  What should I do about this?  With the advent of iCloud, we're both going to be autosyncing...right???

    This won't be a problem, iTunes will see the new device as a separate device, it will have its own settings under iTunes, you can set it up to sync the same content or different content to the first device, it will have no effect on how the first device syncs with iTunes.

  • How to sync multiple devices to one iTunes account

    Just have a question here,
    I have an iPod nano, my sister bought her iPod touch a few years back and we've had them on the same iTunes. She has her apps on there and they don't sync to my iPod obviously because i have the nano. This has been working fine. However, my father wants to sync to my iTunes because he wants some of my music and some of my sister's apps, but not all of them. Is there a way that I can create a "playlist" for him to have only his music and apps sync to his iPod? I haven't created an iCloud myself because it would be of no use to me. But, can I set one up for my father using my iTunes and have only some of the certain music and apps on there?
    Sorry if this is a bit confusing but I would really appreciate some help!
    Thank you.

    Connect the iOS device, select it from the left column under "devices" and just don't check those items in iTunes:
    Un-check the appropriate boxes for Contacts, etc. You can set these individual preferences for each iPhone and iPod Touch.

  • Two iphones sharing same itunes account... Help with contacts merging!!

    Hello all,
    Well my hubby and I are loving our iPhones but I have a few questions.
    I already had an iTunes account for my iPod way before we had our iPhones. Because of this we both share the same account.
    Well where my concerns are is our contacts. I have sync our phones using the icloud and our contacts have merged. I have even tried to use 2 seperate itunes log ins but this doesn'e seem to work.
    One phone is iphone 4 other 4s
    Can someone please help????

    you can keep the same apple id for purchases like apps and music, but you need to create separate icloud accounts for contacts and so on. after you do this you may need to redo your contacts on each phone.

  • SYNC 2ND IPHONE TO SAME ITUNE ACCOUNT

    My husband and I both now have Iphones. He currently has an Itune account on our laptop. I would like to sync my new iphone to the same account on the same laptop. When I plug mine in am I going to uninstall his??

    No, there is no install/uninstall with an iPhone.
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When syncing iTunes content and transferring photos with another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
    You can sync multiple iPhones and/or iPods with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on a single computer. There is no limit for the number of iPhones and/or iPods that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on a single computer.

  • Two i4's same itunes account

    You can use one appled id to share for itunes then create each of you a new sepearte apple id that you use for mobileme/icloud and that is how you keep contacts etc sepearte.

  • Syncing two iPhones with one iTunes account, archive and install

    I had a blue screen and had to archive and install.
    I re-synched my iPhone and at that time put my iPhone contacts in my address book with
    my group name, that I just created. I created a group for her and now want to re-synch her iPhone
    with my computer and with my iTunes account, like before. I get a message that the info on that her iPhone is synched with another user account. A choice to merge info from this user account or replace info from this user account. I want to make sure that her contacts go into the address book, under
    her group. I don't want to lose her her contacts on the phone, when I re-synch her iphone.

    I want to make sure that her contacts go into the address book, under her group. I don't want to lose her her contacts on the phone, when I re-synch her iphone.
    You should select the Merge option. If you don't, the existing contact information in the Address Book on your Mac will replace all contact info in her iPhone's address book.
