Two Apple Id's on 1 computer

Ok I have two apple id's that I use and they both have my credit card information and downloads that I would like to get. Tried getting the downloads from my second account and a pop up appeared saying--- "This computer is already associated with an apple id" and blah blah blah. Also something to do with only being able to download things from one or the other account every 90 days.... Why is this?? Both accounts are mine. Why am I given an ammount of time I have to wait to download items I have purchased with the same credit card on different accounts.....

Yes. Use separate user accounts on the computer.

Two apple Ids syncing with one computer

I am trying to get all the music I have purchased within the last 2 years, all $400 worth of it between two apple accounts, Unfortunatley stupid apple wont let me authorize two apple ids to my one computer....so how the **** can I get access to my content that I PAID FOR!?!?! I have to back up every single one of my songs because they are going to be removed from my ipod when I update it. Why the **** does apple do this? How the **** do I go about this ridiculous situation!?!?!

You can authorize one computer for more that one account.. To do some thing you will have to sign out of one account in iTunes>Store>Signin/SIgn-SIgn out

How to gt two apple Id's on same computer

Hi there , how do you create two iTunes accounts on the same computer,thanks Anders

Create a second Apple ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731. But iTunes can only be signed into a single ID at a time (although your computer can be authorized to play and sync media purchased with multiple IDs in Store>Authorize this Computer).

It appears since my Windows PC McAfee AV subscription expired my PC's iTunes doesn't see my two Apple TV2's. My computer has internet connection thru router and my ATV has internet connection thru same router. My iPad can see the ATV but it can't see iT

My Windows PC iTunes doesn't see my two Apple TV2's (in the speaker button in lower right of iTunes), I believe this problem began when my PC's McAfee AV subscription expired. My computer has internet connection thru router and my ATVs have internet connection thru same router so it's not a networking issue. My iPad can see the ATVs but it can't see iTunes so the problem appears to be PC/iTunes related. I turned the PC's firewall off but no joy. I uninstalled the expired McAfee and still no joy. Reboot = no joy. Glass of scotch = no joy. Need help!!

Wanted to add that I turned on Home Sharing w/the same account in iTunes and ATVs. And I've successfully streamed music/photos to my ATVs for over a year.

Can I authorize two Apple accounts on the same computer?

I have a first generation iPod Touch with OS version3.1... I have authorized the computer at home to install latest available os versions to this first generationiPod Touch.
Now,my wife has bought a new iPod Touch and she wishes to install the latest OS4 in her new iPod Touch. She wishes to use our single computer to autorize her apple account to downn load her purchase to the iPod Touch.
My question is this: Can a single computer authorized to access Two different Apple accounts [Each Apple account has different payment card details]?

yes there can be two different accounts authorized. Sign into your account and authorize your purchases. You will however use the same music library.

Can you have two apple id accounts on one computer??

Hi all
Can you have two seperate apple ID accounts on the one computer?? Imessaging wont work between two iphones if both iphones (husband & wife) use same apple ID account. any help appreciated

Yes, you can. Apple IDs are really not meant to be shared.

Is there a way to have two apple ID's on one computer/iTunes.

My wife and I both have iphones and we have a Mac. Is there a way to seperate what goes where as far as contacts, podcasts, etc? Everytime she syncs her phone on itunes, all my podcasts get changed/erased and I have to re download them. Also, my daughter, who has an ipod touch can change my contacts, i.e. delete them. Is there any way to seperate certain info to certain devices?

Are you sharing one AppleID or do you have separate IDs?
If you have separate AppleIDs, then it's easiest to create a user account for each of you on the computer, and log into iTunes with your respective IDs on each account. This will keep everything separate. There is no problem authorizing content for multiple AppleIDs on the same computer.
HOWEVER, you can only re-download, auto-download, or use Match for one AppleID *per computer* (not per account), and this can only change every 90 days.
If you share an AppleID, then in principle, you can sync both devices to the same user account, but it's difficult to separate contact lists, so it's still easiest to have two user accounts, even if you use the same AppleID on each. This will allow you have separate contact and calendar lists; however, you will NOT have the option of syncing them to the cloud (make sure to turn this option OFF), as having a single AppleID would cause them to merge.

Is it possible to have two apple id's on one computer?

I have an ID and my daughter has one as well. I would like to share music with her. Is this possible if we both have our own ID's? Essentially I want to connect both of our Ipods to my computer and keep all of our music in one place.

Hi Tigerlily89,
welcome to Apple Discussions,
I would suggest that you don't have your iPod set to automatically download all your contents of iTunes to your iPod, this way you are free to control what goes onto each of your iPods from the same Library.
When your iPod is connected to your computer and appears in iTunes goto Preferences iTunes and select iPod. You should see a little box at the bottom with words Enable Disk Use.
Tick this box.
You should see that your iPod's contents in iTunes has now turned black rather than grey. This means that you can now manually drag songs out of your iTunes Library onto your mounted iPod icon on the side of your iTunes.
Eject your iPod via the little eject symbol to the right of your iPod pic in iTunes.
Now connect your Mini to your computer and wait.
Now drag from your main iTune library whatever you wish into the iPod Mini little pic.
You can delete whatever you want to off your iPods by just clicking on the icon then viewing the contents of the iPodusing the top right Browse button.
Hop this helps you.
Phil

Two Apple ID's on one computer/iphone?

Can you use more than one Apple ID?
I would like to use a "family" Apple ID for all of our media and yet still have an individual Apple ID for communications, E.g. FaceTime. Please advise as I'm thinking the Macbook pro/iphone/ipads link only to one Apple ID.
Travis

Here's my opinion. There are certainly other solutions, but I strongly recommend this one.
I suggest one Apple ID per person. That person would use that Apple ID on their i-device, and their copy of iTunes on the computer. If each person has their own computer, fine. If not, then those who share a computer would each have a separate logon, each using their own Apple ID in their copy of iTunes.
But, of course, the family wants to share media. Well, that is done by having the shared media in each person's copy of iTunes on their computer. You then do Store > Authorize This Computer with the media owner's Apple ID and password on the other family member's iTunes account. Then sync to that person's i-devices, and you're done!

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same computer, against two different Apple IDs. When I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message?

I am trying to store music for two different iPods on the same Windows 8 computer, and when I try and download content from the Cloud I get an error message. Is it possible to have two different Apple IDs on the same computer?

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

3 ipads, 2 ipod touches, two apple i.d.,..how do i put them all on one computer?

In our household we have three ipads, two ipod touches, four ipod shuffles, and one (very old) ipod...plus two Apple I.D.s. How do i put them all together on one apple i.d. and one computer?

Apple ID's cannot be merged, however, a single iTunes can be authorized for up to five Apple ID's.

I have Two apple ids: one apple id will not authorize on same computer.

I just purchased a new imac. I have two apple ids. Stupid, I know.
I was able to authorize one of the apple ids on my iMac. When I try to authorize the other apple id, I get the message "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." I keep getting this message day after day.
Also, when I hook up my new iphone 5S to my computer I also get this message "This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iphone. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes store? If you do not authorize this computer, 22 apps, including "Airport", and their data will be deleted from this iphone." I get the choices: cancel, Don't Authorize, or Authorize. So, I click Authorize, I put in my apple ID and password and get the message "We cold not complete your itunes store request. The itunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." This is when I try to sign in with my apple ID that I can not seem to authorize.
I deauthorized both apple ids from my old imac.
Any help would be appreciated!

How do I put two different apple id accounts on one computer?

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

You can't merge Apple IDs. What you could do is set up your phone to use the same iCloud accout you are using on your Mac. To do this, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data (Contacts, Calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone. When everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Now add the iCloud account you set up on your Mac (with the same Apple ID) and turn syncing back on for Calendars, Contacts, etc. When prompted, you will probably want to choose merge, to merge the data on your phone with the existing data on this iCloud account.

I have two Apple accounts the one on my I phone and computer are the same the one on my mini i pad is different I have credit on my mini i pad however, when I purchase an App or movie I am charged on my credit card and the $40:00 worth of I Tune cards is by passed I have tried to change the mini i pad account details to be the same as my computer and original apple i.d.account however, it will not allow me to do I have tried to reset the mini i pad but not all the way to factory otherwise I would loose all my data. I have visited a genuis bench at Fountain gate however, they tell me I need to ring apple support which I will do on the next working day.

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.
