Two devices, one itunes account, push notifications not working

We just got an iPhone and use an iPod touch. Figured it was easier to just use one iTunes account, since we had plenty of apps already purchased on the Touch.
Loaded the apps on the iPhone, and now apps like CNN, ESPN, Outside, etc won't get push notifications. Facebook, Words with Friends, and any other app my wife is logged into gets them, but apps not requiring a log in and has push isn't working. I'll get the push notifications on my Touch, but nothing will come across the iPhone.
Any ideas?
thanks.

Me too I am having this same issue. I just thought I was the only one with this problem.

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match, iCloud doesn't sync music. Just set up every person's devices on a separate iCloud account and your iCloud data and photo stream will remain separated. Each iCloud account will need a separate ID, but it does not need to be the same as your iTunes ID. You can continue to share the same iTunes ID and maintain separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs for iCloud.
You'll also want to use separate IDs for each person for iMessage and FaceTime. This will keep your text messages and FaceTime called separated as well. The easiest way to do this is to have everyone use their iCloud ID for these two services as well.

Two ipads one itunes account

Old story, heard many times before I'm sure...two ipads, one itunes account. How do I set it up so one ipad is not always syncing the other's data etc?

You select the exact content that you want to sync to each device. You can use one iTunes account with 6 iPads. You just have to set your sync preferences the way that you want them to be set for each device.
Using apps as the example....
Sync with iTunes.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
Click on all of the apps that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
You do the same thing in every tab in iTunes. Select the content that you want to sync to that particular iPad and iTunes will remember the configuration the next time that you sync.

Iphone5 push notifications not working

iphone5 push notifications not working. But All ok with my iphone4s. All settings are same. Any idea what is wrong?

I am having this problem, too. I have several apps I require to notify me of things going on in my business but none of them appear or make a sound to alert me.

Exchange push notifications not working on iphone5

My work email is exchange, and it doesn't push on my new iPhone 5. I have all of the settings right for pushing. If I go to my mail, it says 'Checking Mail' and then new message show up. Any help with push notifications not working on the 5? Thank you.

This is an issue that a lot of people are having... it's all on this thread.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4345374?start=0&tstart=0
The 'fix' that is decribed in the first post does not work. The only workaround is if you are on Wi-Fi, turn off Cellular Data and then reset the push service by turning on Airplane mode for a few seconds and then turn it back off. Seems to be an issue with the iOS talking to the new LTE CDMA chip on Verizon and Sprint iPhone 5s.

Photostream not working - two iphones, one itunes account, two icloud accounts

Hello,
My wife and I both have iphones (both 4s). I have had mine for some time and she got hers last week.
We have one itunes account. We have two icloud accounts.
We cannot get shared photostreams to - my phone will not receive invites from hers. It works the other way round though.
All the settings are correct and switched on.
Please don't send me to the FAQ page as I have tried everything on there to no avail
Thanks
Matt

The quickest and easiest thing to do is take the desired iPhone and connect it to the desired iTunes account. This most likely will erase and data on the iPhone and replace it with the data from the itunes account it is connected to.

Two macs -- one iTunes account -- one mobileme account

ok, so i hope i can get my question across correctly. thanks in advance for those of you that help. i have a macbook pro, along with an iPhone and an iPad. my husband has an iMac and an iPad. we both want to be able to use the same iTunes account but we both want to be able to sync our iPad's & iPhone to our own computers. we both also want to sync in mobileme. my questions:
1. how do we sync both computers to one iTunes account?
2. do we both need to have a separate mobileme account?

This might be just the place to post my question.
First, I'm on Windows Vista ... not a mac ... and I do not own MobleMe ... wondering if someone has suggestios for me concernign sharing an iTunes account between me and my wife.
Currently, my wife and I have separate Windows Logons ... and we each have our own respective iTunes account. She syncs her iTunes with her iPhone, and I sync my iTunes with my iPad and iPhone.
I'm interesting in merging our separate iTunes accounts into one for the purpose of not having to purchase duplicate apps that we each will be wanting in the future. (She doesn't know it yet, but she's going to get her own iPad for a surprise present.)
Looks like we are going to repurchase all her paid apps and place those into my account ... (she has fewer paid apps than I have, and that seems to be the least expensive way to start off.)
So... Here's my question:
Is it better to have her sign off permantly from her installed iTunes Account, and sign back on as "me" ... then download all the apps I have already bought that she wants? ( I.e. have two separate iTunes installations - both using the same login ID and password ... but personally configured to our liking).
... OR ...
Is it better to delete her installation of her iTunes Account and just start using mine ... again configured to her liking by checking which apps should install her her devices and which should be installed to my devices?
=============
Right now, she has her own music and I have mine ...
I'm open to any suggestions about PROs and CONs of each method ...
Thanks for sharing

Two ipads, two PC, one itunes account

Hi,
I bought a first Ipad and it works perfectly with my PC and my itunes account, then my wife bougth her personal ipad so now we have two and of course she wants to sync it with her PC and not mine, but of course we want to share the bought apps and so we would like to use only one itunes account.
So I installed itunes on my wife's PC, registered with my account. Now I don't understand how I must behave in odert to upload in her PC all the apps we bought so that when she syncs se find all the stuff I have and can upload her docs, her books, her photos and so on. I tried to copy all the apps I found on my PC to hers but they don't appear to the itunes window so I've no idea what to do...
Thanks
Andrea

When you copied the apps to the computer, did you put them in the Mobile Applications folder, and then in iTunes did 'File > Add Folder to Library' with that folder so as to tell iTunes that there was new content in it ? You can also re-download the apps from the iTunes store for free (using the same account that they were originally downloaded with) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

Two Macs, two iPods, one iTunes account

Hello,
We've had multiple iPods syncing with one computer (call it 'Mac1'), where we store all our music, etc, for some time, no problem. Now, we have another (wirelessly connected) Mac in the house (call it 'Mac2'), in a more convenient location than the first one.
My wife has a new Nano she wants to put music on, and it would be easier if she could do it off this new computer ('Mac2'). This raises a few questions.
First, if she logs in to our (one) iTunes account an buys music, it'll be downloaded to 'Mac2': how to get it to 'Mac1' so we can back it up, etc?
Second, if she uses 'Mac2' to access the shared music from 'Mac1', can she create playlists on 'Mac2' using music from 'Mac2' and sync her Nano with that?
Thanks!

If both Macs are authorized, you can now (in iTunes 7) move purcahsed songs from the iPod onto Authorized computer.
File -> Transfer purchases from iPod
When you access a shares library, you can not add any songs from the shares library onto a playlist of the library accessing that library remotely. You would want to physically move those files/songs from Mac1 to Mac2 if you want to use them in playlists on Mac2.

Two iPods - One iTunes account

My wife has an iPod touch and I have a iPod classic. She is looking to upgrade her touch and give me her old one. I want to have both the iPod touch and iPod classic on one iTunes account. Is this possible?

There are 3 methods for this. Avoid #3 if you can, it leads to confusion if someone forgets to open the correct library.
I think most folks use method #2.
I prefer method #1 because I don't want my family's play counts and ratings in my itunes setup.
It's all down to personal preference which method you choose.

Two Macs, One iTunes account

I have a mac book and mac mini. Both are authorized computers on my one iTunes account. How can I sync their libraries? Each has some different purchases.

There are a few utilities that can help you sync iTunes across different computers. You could begin your research by having a look at these for instance:
TuneRanger
SuperSync
syncOtunes
You can also look at this page for other methods to copy purchases: iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between authorized computers

Push Notifications not working on any app (Whatsapp, Beejive, Mail) after update 5.1.1, Help!

I'm gonna try to be clear with my problem. I have a Gmail Account working on Microsoft Exchange, for IM messaging I'm using Beejive IM with Push and I'm also using Whatsapp. Before Updating it to iOS 5.1.1 all Push notifications were working flawless, however, after I upgraded it to 5.1.1, I began having troubles. After 1 minute of having the Iphone locked, I don't get any push notification, nor on the email, nor on the Whatsapp, neither on the Beejive. If I unlock it and I re-open one of them, for ex, I go to check my contact list on Beejive, I get all the mails, and all the instant msgs that people had sent to me after I locked my iPhone; it's like, my iPhone was locked for 30 minutes. In those 30 minutes people sent me 4 msgs on whatsapp, 4 msgs on beejive and 4 mails. Once I unlock my iPhone and I go to one of the 3 apps (mail, whatsapp or beejive), I get the 12 items (4 msg from whatsapp, 4 msgs from beejive and 4 mails) at that exactly time. It's crazy, it's like, with this new update push notifications got disabled for every app or what happened to my iPhone on this upgrade? I really need help. WIthout Push, none of them apps works cool for me. I'm using Iphone 4 on a 3G network.
Ps: I tried restoring it x3, I unistalled the apps, mail, etc and nothing worked.
PS2: If someone is using whatsapp or beejive im with push on the new iOS 5.1.1 and push notifications are working good for them, please let me know it so I will know it's my iPhone hardware problem to bring it to technical service
Thanks in advance

SAME PROBLEM
The Apple store are trying to say they know nothing of this problem, they know that if you delete your yahoo mail and then add the account again then push notification works for a day. So they do that for you, but won't listen when you tell them that it won't be working by the next day! This is to get you out of the shop. They don't have an answer to why your other notifications aren't working (like alerts etc) even though you have push on.
So what are we to do? The main point for me getting an iPhone was being able to be alerted when I received an email as I am out and about all day!
How can we get somebody in Apple to admit this problem and find a resolve for it before we all have to go buy a phone that will notify you of your email, messages ans alert?

Why are AOL push notifications not working with OS 6?

After installing IOS6 I am unable to get my AOL Push notifications to work on my Iphone4 or Ipad2. I did try to delete the accounts and then installed them again. After that I re-booted each device, but no luck. Is this a problem others are having?
Thanks,
Bruce

You're welcome. The request has been sent in. I first saw your post in the Using Apple Support Communities Forum, now I see it's been moved to the iPod Forum, hopefully it will get moved again.

Push notifications not working on 4g/cellular data

i have an iphone 5s with latest ios 7.
recently the push notification stopped working under cellular data (lte most of the time, 3g other times). if i turn on wifi, push notification works fine. in fact if i turn on wifi after a few days i get al the push notification from the past few days.
i have 'background refresh' turned on for al the apps concerned but doesn't seem to have any affect.

Same thing is happening to me when using silent push notifications for my app. They do not get received on my iPhone 6 when cellular data is being used. On wifi they get through just fine. Have you had any feedback on this?
