  • HT1386 I can't sync music purchased with an iTunes gift card to my iTunes on my PC?

    I received an iTunes gift card for Christmas and bought a few albums with it but unfortunately after authorising my PC and syncing my music these albums aren't appearing in my iTunes, yet, my other albums that I purchased with money are? Can anyone help solve this problem please? I'd like to put the albums on my iPod and can't :(

    Hi lozdot,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first step would be to try to download your purchase again on your computer:
    Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

    If you do not see the items in the Purchases Pane, then the folks at iTunes Store Support can review your account with you:

  • Play can't play music purchased with another email address

    I can't play music that was purchased with old email address on an older mac, how does that work?

    If the tracks are DRM-restricted you'll need to authorize the computer for the Apple ID that was used to purchase the songs. Pull down Store > Authorize This Computer and type in the credentials for the Apple ID.

    You can share as long as you use the same Apple ID.

  • How can I merge music purchased with multiple apple-id's?

    Hi, I have purchased music on iTunes with two different Apple-id's. Don't ask me why but years ago I created another id for a reason I am unable to recollect.
    Now I want to merge all purchases onto one id.. Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks for your kind help!

    No, it's not currently possible to merge accounts nor to transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.

  • Playing music purchased with apple id from closed email account

    i can't play music purchased with an apple id from another email account that no longer exists
    Please Help!!!

    Is it an old Apple ID of yours? If so, then whether the email is still valid or not, the Apple ID is still there. You need to authorize that ID to your computer by signing it onto iTunes and then clicking on Store on the top menu, then Authorize this computer.
    If you don't remember the password to that old ID, you can change it here: Apple - My Apple ID
    If you don't remember your Security Questions, you can have them reset by iTunes Support:

  • How do I sync two ipods with two different IDs on the same computer?

    How do I sync two ipods with two different IDs on the same computer?

    Simply connect them.  One computer with one iTunes can manage multiple devices.  They're tracked by S/N but you might wish to assign them unique names so that you can track them yourself.
    The only minor issue is app updating and purchases while on the computer.  It's necessary to log out and back in to the "correct" ID.  Much easier to do these things from the iPods.

  • Can I Share music from iPhone to wife's iPod we both have different Apple ids, and if I do share music will all my photos be shared too?

    Can I Share music from iPhone to wife's iPod we both have different Apple ids, and if I do share music will all my photos be shared too?

    Depends on what the source of the music is (iTunes purchases, ripped CDs, etc.), and whether you are syncing to iTunes on a computer. As for simply sharing music directly from the iPhone to the iPod, no, you cannot.

  • Can you share music between 2 Apple ID's on the same network?

    Can you share music between 2 Apple ID's on the same network?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can share content between 2 libraries that have different ID's for the iTunes Store, yes.
    You need to make sure that both libraries are using the same ID for home sharing though (from the File menu)

    My mac book gives electric shock through its entire body while being charged from AC out let. is there a solution to the problem? my other two friends are haveing the same problem who recently have purchased the same note books, its weird for APPLE products. Please give any solution.

    Is the MBP properly grounded?  Are you using the three prong plug?  If not, do so and your problems may disappear.  If not, do what SwankPeRFection suggests.
    Ciao.

  • HT202213 Can I share music with my wife if we have different Apple IDs

    Can I share music with my wife if we have different Apple IDs

    You can set up Messages and Facetime separate from your husband and still use the same iTunes to sync things like music, movies, Apps, etc.
    To do this though, you need to get your own Apple ID. You then use your Apple ID to set up Messages and Facetime under your account. This way your Messages and Facetime calls will come from your account and your husbands from his.
    And you will still be able to sync the devises on the same iTunes account.

  • Can I share books purchased from Apple with other IPad users

    Can I share books purchased from Apple with other IPad users

    You can share them this way:
    Suppose you and the person you're trying to share with (I'll call her Jane) have two separate computers with two separate Apple IDs.  Each of those two computers have a current version of iTunes.
    You could copy your book from your version of iTunes over to Jane's.  How you do that depends on what types of computers you have, etc.
    So now your book is sitting in Jane's iTunes.  But you own the book, so Jane cannot access it.  What you have to do, then, is authorize Jane to access the book you bought.
    You do that on Jane's computer in iTunes by going to Store > Authorize This Computer in iTunes' menu.  Enter your Apple ID and password there.
    Then once Jane syncs her iPad to her iTunes, she will have access to your book.
