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

  • HT1848 I am trying to transfer my purchases from my iPhone 5 to my new Mac computer.  I get the message stating that it can only be synced with one computer at a time.  I have tried the 2 other ways and I get no options to transfer my purchases.  Help?

    If you see Devices in the big list on the left-hand side of iTunes, it should show the name of your iPhone right below it. You can right-click (or hold ctrl and left click) on the name of the iPhone there, and choose "transfer purchases from iPhone".
    If you're on iTunes 11, you won't see the big list of the left until you go to the View menu at the very top (where you see iTunes/File/Edit/View/etc) and choose Show Sidebar. Then do the same thing: right-click or ctrl and left-click on the iPhone's name below Devices and "transfer purchases from iPhone".
    It'll ask you to authorize the computer for your Apple ID if you haven't yet; to do that, you just type your Apple ID and password in when it asks. If it says you are not authorized but doesn't automatically give you an option to do so, then you can go to the Store menu at the very top and choose "authorize this computer".

  • My laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time.

    My Dell laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time. When I hit sync is says it will erase my phone and sync with the new computer which is blank. How do I get my phone to sync my contacts, pics, apps etc. over to my new hard drive without losing anything.

    Yes, so what's confusing... Did you not restore the backup of your data, contacts, pics, apps, music, etc. to the new hard drive after you replaced it or reformatted it or whatever you did? If so, then you can just sync your data back.
    If not, please try searching the forum. This has been addressed hundreds of times here.

  • TS1474 I changed my computer (old one is dead!) and now when I want to sync the contents of my iPod onto my new computer, it tells me I can only sync with one computer (i.e. the one that died!) How do I get around this??

    -Transfer iTunes purchases to the compuer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discusssed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the Ipd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not contain synced media like apps and music.

  • I just bought a new computer, now itunes tells me I can only sync with one computer.  It only offers me the choice to erase and sync.  I do not want to erase my ipod, I just want my music on the new computer.  Can't I just transfer the songs from the ipod

    I just bought a new computer.  Itunes only offers me the option of erase and sync, as I can only have it sync'd with one computer.  I want to move my music to this computer from my ipod.  Is this possible, or do I have to go back to my cds and upload everything from there?  I just want to be able to move my music from my ipod to the new computer.

    You need to transfer your iTunes Library from the old computer to the new one - then you can carry on syncing as normal. You can't move non-purchased music from an iPod to iTunes using iTunes. For purchased music, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases...

  • IPhone can only sync with one computer?

    Well I'm not even really syncing my iPhone, I set it to manual so I could pull songs off of my cousins computer because I don't put many songs on mine. But I went over his house and said I had sync it thus I had to delete all the songs off my iPhone so I could get his... I didn't do it but I have to ask, is this suppose to happen? Or is there a way around it like I could do with my iPod?

    The iPhone can only sync with ONE music (iTunes) library at a time. You can't "merge" songs from more than one iTunes library. This is different than with the iPod.
    you can merge 2 itunes catalogs to 1 ipod? wow i didn't know that cool.

  • I bought a new computer, and i have transfered everything using home share, file transfers, etc.. yet still when i go to sync, itunes tells me ipod can only be synced with one computer... is there a way to retire the relationship with the old computer?

    i bought a new computer.  the itunes app allows for home shareing, file transfers, etc.. but i want to discontinue the syncing with the old computer and sync my ipod touch now only on my new system... but i cant seem to disconnect that old relationship at all.. when i try to syncit says that my ipod is already synced with another computer, do i want to discontinue that and only use the new informationon this computer?  i dont want to do that yet because it doesnt seem like everything has come over, and i am afraid of losing songs that i downloaded from cds, etc..

    if you don't want to sync it because you don't think that everything has been transferred then i would check first if you can, before you commit to used only the data from your new computer.
    though, im not sure if this is true, but i think that when you sync your ipod to a new computer it will take the items from your ipod and put it on itunes, like when you purchase something on your ipod and it gets automatically transfered, but don't take my word for it.

  • Can Apple TV play content purchased with two different Apple IDs (but on one computer)?

    I have one iMac with content in my iTunes from two different Apple IDs. All of this content is perfectly accessible on my computer. Before I ran the most recent software upgrade on my Apple TV 2, I was able to access all of this content (from both Apple IDs) through Home Sharing. Now it shows me all of the content, but skips over any of the songs that were purchased with one of the Apple IDs. It doesn't show an error message--it just won't play the songs. Is there any way around this? I haven't seen a thread that directly relates to this--most threads I have seen discuss two separate computers, each with different Apple IDs. Any help would be much appreciated.

    I've tried everything..unplugging and re-setting the Apple TV, restoring to factory settings and starting over...nothing seems to work. I'm not sure why the software upgrade would have affected it, but that's what triggered this problem. It doesn't seem right that if it's accessible on my computer and it's all music purchased by me, that it's not all accessible on my Apple TV!

  • Sync Multiple Apple TV's with one computer

    I recently purchased 2 apple TVs and synched the first one with itunes running on my PC. I installed the 2nd unit, and it appears in iTunes as streaming only. What can i do? i want to load up the hard drive with content, i don't want to stream b/c it requires iTunes and the PC to be up and running.
    Is there a way for multiple Apple TVs to sync with a single computer?

    Today I was able to see both Apple TV's in itunes at the same time
    From the second AppleTV, i made sure I selected Connect to iTunes from Settings->Computer. It presented me with an access code. From iTunes I entered the access code, and it came alive!! I was able to select which tv shows it would sync with, and then it started syncing. the entire time my primary AppleTV was being used in the other room. So iTunes was able to see both at the same time.

  • 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.

  • Multiple Iphones sync with one computer

    Can I set up two Iphones to syn with a PC Laptop?  How?

    Yes, multiple iPhones can sync with a single computer. I do not know the limit, probably harddrive space of the computer. Just open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, select iPhone in left column of iTunes, click Sync button of iTunes. When done, connect other iPhone and repeat steps. You can keep the iPhones information different and always separate or you can restore them from the same back-up and keep them similar.

  • Address Book not syncing with one computer (through .mac)

    I'm having difficulty syncing one of my computers through .mac. My desktop seems to interact fine with the online account, but I can't get the AddressBook info from .mac onto my laptop. I have tried all the syc settings in System Preferences and in the preferences menu in Address Book and they all say that I should be syncing. Is there something I am missing? As far as I can tell, both computers have the same settings. I'm wanting to be able to use my ipod touch with either computer, (and to have both computers have the same info as each other) . . .
    Thanks for any help.

    I just upgraded to Leopard and am having the same problem. Everything is syncing fine except the AB. I still see all my contacts up on .mac thank goodness, but nothing is coming down to my computer. I hope that they don't just disappear up on .mac as well!!!

  • 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.

  • 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!
