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

Can I transfer iPad apps from one iTunes account to another

Can I transfer iPad apps from one iTunes account to another?

No. Apps are associated with Apple ID with which they were purchased.

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

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 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

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!
FTW

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 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.

2 iPad users using one iTunes account. how best to manage this?

My wife and I both have ipads, ipods, and iphones. We want to use one iTunes account but it has proven to be very frustrating. any advice?

as far as we can tell, iTunes has no concept that this is iPad1 and this is iPad2. The only to manage sharing 80% same content but diferentiating on 20% is to manage EVERYTHING manually. With lots of apps, movies, and 80GBs of songs, this is ridiculous. We can't be the only couple who want one account but lots of different devices with different desired items on them.
Some syncs can't be done manually so we have to go back and delete or add after the fact. Giant waste of time.
iTunes on the iPad is a bit of a joke. it doesn't seem to have any relationship to iTunes on our primary computer. It doesn't actually function the same way (doesn't actually store downloaded items) which leads to iTunes confusion, frustration, and sometimes duplicate buying.
I'm thinking I'll just wait for the cloud service but given apple's record with iTunes, I'm a little doubtful about that. Appreciate the response.

One Mac Mini-Two Logins-One iTunes Account?

My Kids have a mini. They each have their own logins. Is it possible to have both logins access the same iTunes account? today if one logs out while their iPod is in it will erase the ipod and synch it with the second login. I also find myself buying two of each songs for them. Any ideas?
Thank you!

Two iphones, one iTunes account, two icloud accounts

Hi,
I have two iPhones, one privat, one from my company.
I would like ...
... to have all music, apps, books bought via iTunes to be on both iPhones - use same Apple ID for iTunes account?
... seperate calender, contacts, todos - use different Apple IDs for iCloud?
Is there still a way to have all pictures taken in one common photo stream?

I have the same question. My daughter and I share an apple account which is fine, but now I am getting some of her texts and each time I send her one I get a duplicate? I thought I messed this up when we tried to Facetime each other and I have deleted all those options. How do I fix it so I have my own texts and she has her own texts, I don't get duplicate texts but she can still access our I tunes account? Please help

HT1535 Two Macs; one iTunes account--why can't I move music to my iPhone from either machine?

I have 2 macs--a MacBook Pro and an iMac. I have ONE Apple ID (iTunes ID) that is registered on both machines. I used to sync my iPhone from the iMac, but now the iMac is in storage. I want to move some music from my MacBook to my iPhone and it wont let me...something about only being allowed to be synced to one iTunes library. It would erase everything on my phone if I wanted to add anything from my MacBook's iTunes library. Why isnt it the same iTunes library--it has the same iTunes ID/Apple ID? Is there a solution to this that isnt really annoying and redundant (like mirroring my two computers' library)?
This cannot be the first time someone has had this issue and Apple hasnt addressed it?

Each iTunes library has a unique ID.
Easiest way to do what you want is to use Home Sharing and copy the files from your MacBook to your iMac then sync the phone to the iMac.

Two Macs, one iTunes account: How to combine libraries?

We have the same Apple iTunes Store account so we have different librarys on each Mac from the same account.
How do we combine our libraries so we can dowload all our purchased tunes to one iPod? (We also have separate iPods, but that's a different issue.)
