Two iTune Accounts in Two countries with Two computers

Okay,
I have been buying and using my iPod with my Canadian account and the Canadian Music Store. I do alot of work in the US and have a US account in the US Store. I bought the "Lost" series and a few songs on the US account while setting up my new iPod Video 30GB. But the video that I bought on my canadian account is not authorized to play now that I bought on the US account.
How can I do this? I buy and do everything legally but I want to be able to share my legally bought music and content between two computers and two accounts, any suggestions?

Of course. If you have XP, you can create two user accounts, each with a different library, or make use of the Smart Playlists.
Here is an Apple Article discussing how to use multiple iPods on one computer. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432

  • How can I update the apps. with the new iTune, that's really silly especially I have two iTune account for different countries

    I used 2 iPhones and a iPad, 2 Apple ID for different countries so that I can download apps. from different country.  Its a pain and sometimes no possible to update the apps. on the ISO devices.  Apple really needs to fix this aspect.  Also the new iTunes is so difficult to use, please bring back the old one.

    When Itunes opens
    1) Click on drop dow list button top left under the player controls
    2) Select Apps
    3) At the bottom right there are two buttons, Check for updates and Get More Apps
    An Alternative is when iTunes opens in the top menu Click on View, Show Sidebar. Then you will see your apps page as in itunes 10. Click on that option and as before you should have two buttons, Check for updates and Get More Apps.
    NB this is all within Itunes NOT the iTunes Store

  • I want to connect two itunes accounts.

    Hi i want to connect two itunes accounts. my old one with all my music is on my pc with one email address and i have a newish mac which has a different email account number. how do i move the old accounts music to the new one. thanks kellie

    At this time you can not. Apple IDs can not be merged, and content purchased with one Apple ID can not be transfered to another. I suggest you keep using the original account. There is no need for you to create a new Apple ID for the iTunes Store just because your brought a new computer.

  • Can 2 teachers share an ipod touch and put apps on it with two itune accounts

    Can 2 teachers share an ipod touch and put apps on it with two itune accounts?

    Sure.  No problem.
    Be aware that ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them.  Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password.  Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.
    Minor nuisance if you choose to update apps from inside the computer's iTunes.  If you're logged into the "wrong" account, it's necessary to log out/in to do the update.  It's easier if you update from the iPod itself.  No need to log out/in but you do need to know the password for the ID.

  • How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?

    How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
    Hi there
    My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
    What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
    This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
    How do I do this please?
    I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
    So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
    Any advise please?
    Thanks

    You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
    The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
    It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

  • I have a iPhone and iPad on one iTunes account, I have recently bought two further I touches fir the kids , should I set them up with their own apple ids and the can I transfer purchases through all devices

    I have a iPhone and iPad on one iTunes account, I have recently bought two further I touches fir the kids , should I set them up with their own apple ids and the can I transfer purchases through all devices,

    Hi jhyiesla,
    Im not sure wether I got you right or not. But my advice/s would be as follows:
    These steps help you get rid of old apps you downloaded years ago and you do not use anymore.(Also frees space on your mac after emptying the trash)
    1) go to iTunes and delete all applications in it. Make sure to move them to trash! Do not empty your trash yet. Its your backup if step 3 doesnt appear.
    2) connect both your devices(one after each other) and make a backup. !!!Dont press the Sync button, press the Back Up Now Button
    3) Then it asks you if you want to backup applications as well. Confirm. (This is how apps get transferred manually)
    4) Then Sync your devices... The first time it might be, that there are some additional apps loaded to your devices you dont want to.. delete them on your Device (not iTunes) and after that you should be good every time you sync again.
    5) now you can empty your trash on your mac.
    Further,
    - You should regularly connect your devices with iTunes to make sure they are backed up. (Even if you have activated iCloud backup, the iTunes backup is more proper i.e.. Apps)
    - If you hate scrolling through a list of apps in iTunes, you can re/install apps directly on iOS not via iTunes. I absolutely never go to the "Applications" section in iTunes. I install and delete apps directly on iOS.

    You want to uise the newer account with the iPad?
    Settings > Store.
    Tap account, sign out then sign in with the account you want.

  • I have two itunes accounts - one i had on my original pc and then one i created with my Mac. Is it possible to add the library from the old iTunes account to my new one

    I have two itunes accounts. One is an old one with a substnantial library attached and one is much newer which I created with my new Mac. Is it possible to merge the two libtaries into my new account?

    You can merge the two libraries but not the accounts. Each account is a separte entity.
    You are likely best to use the older account as that is where a bulk of the purchases are from. If the file is a unprotected purchase then it doesn't matter. If the content is DRM encoded then you will need to authorize your computer to both accounts as needed. All new music purchases are DRM free but video is still DRM encoded.
    There is no reason to create a new iTunes or Mac App Store account if you get a new computer.

  • HT1491 I have two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's.  How can I merge them into one?

    I ahve two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's.  How can I merge them into one account?

    Apple has no provisions for this. You cannot merge multiple Apple ID's into one ID. Content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

  • HT204266 I have two itunes accounts with 2 apple ID's.  How do I combine them?

    I have two itunes accounts with two Apple ID's how can I combine them?

    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 bought/downloaded it.

  • I have two itunes accounts both with purchased songs.  how can I merge two accounts?

    I have two Itunes accounts I want to merge.  both have song libraries.

    iTunes Store accounts can't be merged.
    To merge iTunes libraries, import the content and playlists from one to the other. Any purchased content in either will remain associated with the original iTunes Store account.

  • I have two Ipods andwant t oset up two Itune accounts with two different libraries

    I have two Ipods and want to set up two Itune accounts with two different libraries.  Can this be done?

    You can, but switching iTunes libraries and store accounts is generally more hassle than it is worth. You can sync each device with selected purchases and if you have more than one iOS device disable the option to Automatically include new apps, then apps purchased on one device won't automatically load onto the other.
