Two machines one app store account?!

can anyone help the newbie here?
i have an account with itunes and an account with the app store both under different names/logins.
i have a mac pro a macbookpro and an iphone.
do i need to log on to the APP STORE or to iTunes using the Mac Book Pro (which I use to sync to my iPhone) or can i pay for and download any apps from either machine when downloading form APP STORE?
thanks for any clarification on all of this.
newbie...

the first is that i just downloaded an app to my MBP from the App Store using my account. how do i now use this app on my mac pro?
Look in your Applications folder.
Which app did you download?
also, i see that my App Store Login is the same as my Mac Forum Login and I am curious to know if this is by definition or if i basically made this happen myself (for instance my iTunes name and login is different).
This is your choice. You can have more than one Apple ID.
Be aware, the apps you download from the Mac App Store cannot be run on an iOS device (apps downloaded from iTunes) nor vice versa.

  • Two phones, one music library, one App Store account

    We have one App Store account that we use for two iPhones. We want to sync both phones to the same music library, and to do that we set up two OS X login accounts on the computer that has our iTunes library. The music library is shared between the accounts using an alias. We each have our own MobileMe account that keeps our computers in sync with our iPhone's address book and calendars.
    I would call this setup pretty hokey. Maybe it's more complicated than we necessary? It allows us to buy apps just once for two phones, keep our contacts and calendars separate and personal and in sync with our computers, and makes it convenient to put whatever music we want on each of the phones.
    We will be getting new 4S phones and iCloud and upgrading to Lion, so changes are on the horizon anyway. I am game to change the setup. Does anyone have advice on a better way to set this all up. I imagine iCloud introduces some new possibilities, and I suspect the way we are doing it now is hokier than necessary anyway.
    I'm not interested in guesses about what might work. I'm hoping someone who actually knows what will work can save me from trial and error. :-)
    Thanks!

    I did some searches before my post, but actually found some things AFTER I made my post that sounded encouraging. If I understand correctly, we should be able to continue sharing the AppleID we use to buy apps and music on all of our devices. We can configure our personal devices and computers to use separate personal iCloud accounts, but somehow share the music and apps with each other. I guess I'm still not clear on how it'll work. :-)

    Welcome to the Apple community Todc.
    Besides signing out of the account, you will need to delete the apps on the device that were purchased under that ID.

  • Multiple FCPX licenses on one app store account

    Hi all,
    I am trying to figure out if it's possible to run multiple FCPX licenses on one appstore account.
    Searching the web gave me multiple options, but none of them really answered my question.
    It's only two licenses (for two machines) so we aren't capable of volume licensing since that's only availabe when running more than 20 machines.
    anyone an idea? would be great!
    Thanks in advance

    I'v got the same problem.
    According to FCPX license one licens can be usen on one computer in the same time.
    If You need to run in the same time more then one instance You need more license.
    I bought one and i need three more.
    Apple support in poland sending me to 'mac app store support form' on apple site... but this support sending me to Apple support in poland with this problem.
    As far, for Poland there is no edication licenses and we need (i'm working at university) to but the same number of FCPX licenses like the number of computer on which we want to use them during classes... but mac app store aplication don't have button which allows me tu buy anoyher licenses... it claim that i got one olready....
    If any one know how to buy another licenses on the same ID tell us.

  • Combine two app store accounts

    hi there,
    I want to combine the apps from two separate app store accounts in to one of the accounts. how can I do this?  What if I accidentally purchased an app twice on two separate accounts?  Is it possible to get a refund?
    Cheers

    HI Noah ..
    Sorry but Apple ID accounts cannot be merged >  Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
    As far as a refund goes, Apple's policy states, "all sales are final" >  iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    But since it was an accidental purchase, you can at least ask for a refund.

  • Accounts at More than One App Store

    Is it possible to set up an account at more than one App Store ( for example the US Store and the Netherlands' store) at the same time?
    TIA,  Randy

    You can have multiple iTunes accounts, but you can only be logged into one account at a time and you can only use a country's store if you are in that country - so when you are in the US and if you have a US billing address then you can use the US store ; when you are in the Netherlands and you have a Netherlands billing address then you can use the Netherlands store.

  • One iTunes Store account, two computers, really need help!

    Ok, I have just one iTunes store account however i had 2 different computers i used to download the music. my home computer was originally the one i used but then when i moved, i lost internet so my boss let me use my work computer. however after about 5 years of collecting music on that computer my boss got sick and abruptly sold the business. sadly my music went with that computer. I need to find out what to do to get my purchased music downloaded to my laptop now that i have internet. it was all under the same account just downloaded to my work computer instead of home since homes didn't have internet at the time. what can i do?! I've lost all that music! i can see on my account where i purchased it, but i can't seem to get it on my laptop now! please help!!

    the following post by Zevoneer, though slightly off topic, says it all:
    Did you *back up* your purchases before you you reinstalled your system? If you erased your drive then the purchases will have been erased along with everything else. If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    *You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download*. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
    If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • Consolidating App store accounts

    I originally created an App store account using email address #1. I made purchases on that account. When I signed up for me.com another account was created. I did not notice that this was the account in which I purchased a couple of Apps. So, I now have two accounts both with purchases in them. Is it possible to consolidate these two accounts - so that I only have to access one account to do all upgrades?

    You can contact -> iTunes store support and ask them to consolidate you old iTunes account with your new .me account.

    How I remove my credit card from my Apps Store Account??
    I want to avoid unwanted purcharses from my nephew.... Someone can help me?
    I know it's possible to "upgrade" one account adding credit card, I can not find a way to remove it.

    you can't from the iPad.
    Go to iTunes on a computer, log in with your apple ID and select 'account'.
    After that , select 'payment method' and select 'none'.
    Good luck
    PS: reply if you're having trouble. You use mac or windows?

  • How come I cant use my app store account?

    My app store account is bouncing back a message that my "securtiy code" on my account is wrong.  However, I checked all my numbers and they are all correct.  It just stopped accepting it one day and has not allowed me to update any data or add any apps.

  • HT204034 How to get an Apple App store account without a credit card?

    Does anyone know how to get an Apple App store account without a credit card?
    When I sign in with my Apple ID it says I did not have an account with the App store, but in order to create one it requires a credit card.
    There is NO None option as some articles show when selecting a credit card.

    Hello SandraLAVixen,
    I understand you would like information on how to use an Apple ID without a credit card. The following article may help:
    Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Support
    If you already have an Apple ID
    If you've already created your Apple ID, you'll need to add a payment method when you first use it to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. But you can optionally remove the payment method after you sign in to the store. You won't be asked for a payment method again until you make your first purchase.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • App store accounts!

    I have multiple app store accounts. How can I view all my accounts? I can see only one of my accounts.

    You may only view one account at a time. Based on what Apple device you are using, you may not be able to randomly switch accounts. On a Mac or PC using the iTunes app you can switch accounts as you wish. Go to the Store pulldownmenu in the menubar and sign out of one account and then sign into the next. On an iOS device, you may only switch accounts once every 90 days.
    Having multiple iTunes accounts is not a good idea. It leads to many issues and complications.
