Two phones, two computers, one account.

We each have iPhones and seperate computers, is it possible to share one iTune account on two computers and two phones or do we need individual accounts? If individual accounts are required, how can we share music and apps?

You can put the same itunes account on up to 5 authorized computers. Just make sure each computer is authorized: Store Authorize this Computer.

  • How to set up two iPads, different locations, one account.

    How do I set up two iPads in two different States with one account.  My 89 year old father can not do the details of setting up an account but I want him to have apps and have even gifted him a bird guide.  Now it sits in his in box because we don't know how to download it without an account.  

    Obviously your father will not be able to sync with iTunes, but somehow I don't think that is going to be an issue.
    You can set up the account on your iPad, or computer, whatever, and then have your father sign into your Apple ID on his iPad. Settings>Store>Sign in. He will need your ID and password in order to download apps or other paid content.
    However, he does not - nor do you need to set up the account on his iPad. He just needs to sign in to the account.
    This is not really ideal - separate ID's would be the way to go, but if you are essentially maintaining the device and springing for the apps - it will work - if you want to share an ID.

  • Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

    Can I use my 2TB WD My Book Essential for the Time Machine feature on the MacBook as well as to store information from two other Windows computers (one running 7 and one with Vista)?

    Yes you can but you need to partition the drive into at least 2 separate drives.
    To do that you need to use a Windows PC to do the first partitioning. Say you split the drive into two partitions each 1TB (or close to 1TB) each.
    Partition fand format both partitions on a Win PC as one NTFS and the other FAT32.
    Then move it to the Mac and Reformat the FAT32 partition Mac Extended (Journaled) with a GUID Partition Table.
    I have that same drive and that is what I did originally with it. I now have it just for the Mac as I have other externals for the Win systems.
    Good Luck.

  • Hi, I use two email addresses within one account with gmx.  I created one account with the first email address now. How do I add the second one to this account? Now it looks like this. One account was opened with address A. I receive in this account email

    Hi, I use two email addresses within one account with gmx.
    I created one account with the first email address now. How do I add the second one to this account?
    Now it looks like this.
    One account was opened with address A.
    I receive in this account emails for address A and B.
    But I can only write and answer with address A.

    Hi Rudegar,
    Sorry for my late reply.
    It s not the amount of accounts I'm struggling with.
    When I create now for both email addresses one account, then I receive the same emails two times.
    That is not what I want.
    Because on gmx the two email addresses have the same inbox and outbox.
    E.g. I can login to my gmx account either with email A or B. It doesn't matter.
    Now I want to have the same on my ipad.
    One account with both email addresses.

  • Two online numbers on one account?

    I have a two-part question:  One doesn't fit in this section but it
    My roommate and I are considering using skype as our main phone number, is there a way to have one number for our area code and one for his family's area code so they can call him "local" running from the same account?
    The second part of the question is:
    Is there a phone that would be able to recognize which number is being called and then ring with different ringtones based on who's being called?

    Currently, this would require a 3rd party application using the Skype public API or SkypeKit. This function is currently not supported by the Skype clients.

  • Two credit cards aon one account

    I want to pay with two different credit cards from one account. one by business and one private. How to do this?

    Yes you can.
    Make the first payment  where it indiactes how much you wish to pay, enter in the amount.
    You might have to wait for the first pament to be processed and applied (about and hour) before you enter the second payment.
     I use my debit card to pay my half of the phone bill, and then my GF's card to pay the second half of my family plan.
    Hope this helps.

  • Setting up two  iPod Touches on one account with gift cards for app and in-app purchases

    I have multiple devices on one account - 2 iPod classics, one iPhone 3G and two recently acquired iPod Touches for my 8 year old boys.  They want to make in-app purchases (for Dragonville).  They each have their own gamecenter ID.  I want to set up each of them with gift cards for their purchases.  Is this possible?
    If not, what is the recommended approach to manage all devices in one place while allowing individual devices to have a seperate payment mechanism?
    Thanks.

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
    To make sure you only sync the media yoo want, configure iTunes syncing so that only checked media is synced to the idevices.

  • HT5625 How do you merge two Apple IDs into one account?

    I have two Apple IDs (it's a long story) with mixed content.  I'd like to merge the accounts into one account, in order to synchronize my apple products.  How do I do it?

    1. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll do it. They probably won't.
    2. Because Apple generally doesn't permit that.
    3. Because the content remains associated with your Apple ID when you share it with other people.

  • Is it possible to have two Apple IDs  for one account?

    I would like to set up one account with two Apple IDs so I could have one restricted to only free apps and the other unrestricted.  My daughter has an iPod Touch and I want to restrict what she can purchase but also make it so if we agree that purchasing an app for her iPod Touch we can.  New to this Apple ID stuff.
    Thanks,
    BubbaGee

    No. Each account needs it uniquie email adresss as the Apple ID.  However, yucan use more than one account on a single iPod and in iTunes.
    To change the acount on the iPOd go to Settins>Store and sign out and sign in with the account you wnat. Also see:

  • Is it possible to have two apple loans under one account?

    So back in June my mum took up apple finance so I could get a macbook and pay her each month (I was under 18 at the time and have no credit history) and that went through within a minute no issues..
    Now I face another issue, I want the new iphone 5s but still within my current iphone 5 contract I can't get out of but that aside my question is:
    Is it possible to have two apple loans under one bank account? (the iphone one being much smaller than the existing mac loan)
    If not, I'll simply have to save up £700.
    Thanks~

    Hi babowa,
    The reference to two Apple loans led me to believe it was two Apple finance deals in conjunction with, for example, a Barclays Bank tie-up as we appear to have here in the UK.   As you suggest, the payment is a matter between the poster and his mom, but I think that behind all this is the question of whether the poster's mom can have two separate accounts in this way.   Which of course, she can.

  • Two phones ordered, only one shipped. The iPhone 6 has shipped with tracking number and charge to my card. iPhone 6 Plus has no information available, no one at CS can tell me if this is normal, if it is delayed, any info appreciated.

    I placed an upgrade order for two phones, an iPhone 6 and 6plus.
    I was in the Verizon shopping cart at 11:55 and checked out by 12:01 AM pacific time.
    I do have my email confirmation for both phones with ship date 9/19
    The iPhone 6 has shipped with tracking number and the charge to my card came through for the price of this phone.
    There is no other information available - nothing on the status of the 6 Plus. Customer service doesn't know if this is normal or if my order went through, its really bad.
    Any further information would be much appreciated.

    I was just told by a Verizon sales rep that, when her team got in, when she checked the system at 3:03 (midnight+ 3 minutes)  all 6Plus had a back order date of October, and now its going into November even though the pre-order system was showing 9/19 - that all verizon iphone 6 plus had an instant sell out.
    She had no additional information on my iPhone 6 plus, not even if there was a chance for it to ship out, when the back order date would be - no further information.
    (A different rep I talked to said all iphone 6 plus pre orders had a ship date of October, all of them - I asked what Verizon is going to do when they advertised iphone 6 plus for 9/19 delivery and your telling me they never had any available - at this point he transferred me... *****)

  • Two phones on 1 apple account.  getting rid of the original phone.  Problems?

    I recently got an Iphone for work that I set up on the same Apple account as my personal Iphone.  I am going to get rid of my personal Iphone since my employer will allow personal calls on their phone as long as I always carry it and answer it.  Will this cause problems with my new phone or the Apple account?

  • Two phones, two libraries - share apps?

    Hi,
    I have a 3GS private phone which syncs to my home PC and have just been handed an iphone 4 for work.  I'd like to be able to get all my apps, music etc on both phones (particularly tomtom) - Is it best to move my home library to the work PC and sync both from the same library (not a problem with my employer) or is there a better way that means I can have two phones syncing on different pc's but both running the same apps?

    Sure, on your work computer: Store>Authorize this Computer. Then, you can use your personal iPhone to transfer content to this computer. First disable auto-sync under iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Devices>Prevent iPods/iPhones from syncing automatically. Then connect your 3GS...DO NOT SYNC...File>Transfer Purchases. Eject when finished. This will put all purchased content on your 3GS into the library of your work computer. Then, just sync it to your iPhone 4. Just make sure you are logged into the same iTunes account at work that you use at home.

  • Issues ordering with 2 phone lines on one account.

    After being on the phone for half an hour on Friday the woman seemed to understand everything but we got no confirmation message so I called again today and after spending an hour on the phone was told to call back tommorow.. Not getting my hopes up of it working.
    The lady didn't seem to really know how to place orders when we had 2 diffrent phone lines on the same account.
    Currently we have 2 phone lines, one without broadband and one on BT Broadband "Upto 8Mbps" and recently Infinity became available in the area. We want to get Infinity setup on the line that has no connection and once it is up and running cancel the current Broadband and the phone line it is on. I understand this will incur a £30 fee to remove the broadband (not sure if theres a further fee to cancel the phone line, the lady didn't mention one though).
    On Friday the lady we talked to also said we would have to pay extra to keep the current call plan with Infinity doing this method but the lady I talked to today didn't mention it.
    The forum mods are pretty good on here so I was hoping they could sort it out as I'm starting to lose hope..

    After spending about an hour on the phone today it seems we got it sorted out.
    Apparently you can't have 2 broadband packages on one account even with 2 phone lines so we had to get a seperate account setup just for the Infinity broadband. Once we cancel the old broadband though apparently we can merge it together and the price will go from £30 down to £26.
    We wasn't given the account number for the new account but I assume it wont be an issue when the time comes to merge the accounts (however we do that I'm not quite sure).
    But we got the confirmation email so I assume everything is okay... The Openreach engineer will be coming a week later than the original date we had planned but it will do I suppose.
    Thanks

  • I have two apple accounts, with two separate iCloud accounts, both with information I need on my iPhone and mac. One email is no longer valid therefore I can't varify it via emial. How do I get info onto my phone or onto one account?

    I have two different email accounts/IDs because one of my account email's is no longer valid, therefore I am unable to verify it via the varification email. I can not use my current email/apple ID to change it to becuase it is set as my backup on the first account. So frustrating because I am now paying for two seperate iclouds and cloud music storage as well. Just bought my mac and I am having trouble getting music onto my iphone because the majority is on the old, non valid email address account but I have to use my current apple ID on my iphone.... any suggestions on how to not lose everything and have it all in one place would be great! Thanks!

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.
