TS4020 how many devices can use one icloud account

Is there a limit on to how many devices can use one icloud account

*GE TAG - Don't you just love how people in forums answer their own question rather than the one being asked.
Let me help those that have responded so far, and those still awaiting an answer.
An account for iCloud does also include log-ins for the iOS App Store / Mac App Store / iTunes Desktop Application , but an iCloud account on any device iOS / Mac / PC does not have to match the App Store / iTunes account which certainly has its account login limitations per device as has been pointed out.
What seems to be ommitted is if there is a limit to an iCloud account per X number of devices.
In my estimation there appears to be no limitation for iCloud accounts per device. I say this only with the experience of having my own iCloud account on a MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, iMac, Apple TV Gen2, Apple TV Gen3, iPhone 5S, and an iPad Mini Gen 1.
That is 7 separate devices. Never once have I been prompted about a limit when setting up my iCloud account (which constitues Contacts / Calendar / Notes / Reminders / Documents in the Cloud / Keychain / and Photo Stream and not purchased content through App / iTunes "stores" which do give such prompting upon authorizing your respective device for being able to use / sync said purchases)
I've really only come to this realizatoin upon thinking this through after reading this thread. I was actually searching for this answer myself until now. If I'm wrong I will welcome a rebutal with proof.

  • How many devices can use one iCloud account?

    I'm currently working with a school that have bought 15 new iPads. I was wondering whether all of these could be set up under 1 iCloud account, or whether there was a limit to the number of devices that can be registered. The reason for asking this is the we would like to use Find My iPhone to keep track of the devices within the school, and send messages to any that are misplaced, so we can alert nearby staff to return them to us. We aren't interested in music or movies, as they will primarily be used as learning tools, so any restriction specifically on that content doesn't matter to us. The only thing that would is if there is restrictions on app usage within a single account. For example, if we download an app using the single iCloud account, and had automatic downloads switched on for all 15 iPads, would the app be able to be installed on all of those 15? Sorry if this has been a little long winded, and thanks in advance for your answers.

  • I already have an iTunes account but need to open a new one as I have many apple products but am limited to how many I can use my iTunes account on. How do I open a new one please. Thanks

    Hi I already have an itunes account registered to my address and email address.
    The problem is, I have many apple products but i'm limited to how many products I can use one itunes account for.
    How do I open a new itunes account for the same address please.
    Thanks for your help.
    Sam

    Well, you can probably do it, but then you also have to buy the products again to use them from the other account since they cannot be transferred or shared between accounts.  So if you have 7 computers and want the same movie authorized on all of them, you'll have to buy the movie twice and then authorize some devices on one account and others on the other.
    Do you really have >5 devices, or is it just that you have a lot of devices authorized that no longer exist but are tying up authorization slots?  If that's the case, you can deauthorize things.

    I have no idea how to do multiple accounts but you may need to create a new e-mail address (plenty of free ones out there).

  • Up to how many devices can this one download be used for?

    I have a iMac and a air and want now do have download this software twice or can I just buy it once and use it for both.

    You can use it on as many Macs as you own with the same user ID. I would suggest to download it once and copy the installer BEFORE you hit install because it will self destruct after the install. Before install, you will find it in your Applications folder - copy it to a safe place and you can use it again (instead of having to download it again).

  • How many iPads can use one content viewer login?

    Hi all,
    We have a client who is wanting an app built in the next few months but needs a smaller version up and running in the next few weeks to get them out of a tight spot.
    I've suggested that we give them an Adobe ID seperate to ours and load the interim app up there for reps use while we keep building the final one seperately.
    My question is, how many iPad's can use that login and download the app to the content viewer and use it like that. They will need to use it on about 40 iPads...
    (I hope my question makes sense)
    Cheers
    G.

    Unfortunately the only time an Adobe ID belongs to the company instead of the individual is when the company signs on as a DPS customer and creates the ID under their master admin account in the DPS admin portal. All other uses of Adobe ID belong to an individual and not a company. In short, Adobe tech support isn't going to be able to help a company "reclaim" an Adobe ID if it is used this way.
    Just fair warning for those that are sharing Adobe ID credentials and using this method to share content.

  • How many devices can use home sharing feature?

    I have three devices on which I use iTunes (one Apple ID).  Can I home share with two and sync two so that my iTunes library is complete and accessible on all three devices?

    You may be confused between retrictions that apply in different areas.
    You can only authorise 5 computers to use a single ID.
    You can only associate 10 devices with a single ID.
    Associated devices include your authorised computers, thay also include mobile devics that use iTunes Match or automatic download from the cloud.

  • How many devices can you have on 1 icloud account

    how many devices can you have on 1 icloud accout?

    It's unusual for a whole family to use the same icloud account, since that way everyone gets the same emails, contacts, calenders, etc.  All it takes is one family member to delete a contact by mistake and then it will be deleted from everyone's devices.  Not good.  The usual advice is for every individual to have their own icloud account.
    The iTunes store is another issue - everyone can use the same Apple ID to access the same itunes account to download music, apps, etc. without everyone having to buy the items multiple times.

  • How many devices can sync to one apple ID?

    How many devices can sync to one apple ID?  I need to get all my music from an old computer to my new computer.  I just purchased an album on my new computer and it's not syncing with my iPhone 5 and I don't want to pay $25 for the Cloud.

    You can sync as many idevices as you like to one computer/library
    The iphone will sync with one and only one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content fro the iphone.

  • I'm a school tech coordinator. Many computers and many iPads. How many Apple IDs can I have per device, and how many devices can have the same Apple ID? To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.

    I'm a school tech coordinator. I have many computers and many iPads. I apologize if there is a some place that has all the rules governing the use of Apple IDs. I looked, and I even tried to get the answers from multiple Apple rep's. I couldn't find the answers.
    How many Apple IDs can I have per device?
    I want to use the same computer to sync and backup many iOS devices. The iOS devices would be associated with different Apple IDs.
    I may load apps under a school Apple ID and have users load their own apps under thier own ID.
    How many devices can have the same Apple ID?
    Can I use the same Apple ID on all the computers in a lab?
    Can I use the same Apple ID on all iPads for a particular grade level?
    Are the rules different for iOS devices and computers?
    I know that there are limits on "authorize" and "de-authorize" and how frequently those things can be done.
    Recently I heard that for the life of an iOS device, it can only be associated with five Apple IDs. That is not good for a school giving iPads to students in a 1:1
    To make my life easier, I'd like 200 devices to all use the same Apple ID.
