Usage of apple id on maximum devices .

I have 6 apple devices , recently i have faced a problem that my apple id is working only on 4 devices .
it is not working on fifth device . it is not being cleared to me that whether an apple id will work on more than 4 devices . I also want to know that on how much apple devices the id will work ? Please let me know it asap .

According to this Apple document you can only have a total of 10 devices logged into an AppleID

  • Apple TV Home Sharing Device Limit

    I have 6 brand new Apple TV units and one windows computer running iTunes.  My plan was to use the computer as a media server which I would put our DVD´s, CD´s and existing itunes movies, music and photos on.  We could then access everything from the Apple TV units.  At the moment I can:
    Airplay music from the iTunes PC to all 6 Apple TV´s at the same time.
    Airplay a single movie to any one of the 6 Apple TV´s from the iTunes PC at any time.
    When any four Apple TV boxes are switched on I can access home sharing on the iTunes PC and stream four different movies or four streams of the same movie from the iTunes PC to the Apple TV units.
    If I try and connect more than 4 Apple TV units to the home share I get a black screen saying couldn´t connect - please check itunes is running and up to date.  This problem only happens when more than 4 Apple TV units are connected.  Even when this error appears I can Airplay a movie from the iTunes interface on the  PC to the 5th and 6th Apple TVbut I can´t connect from Apple TV interface to  the home  share on the iTunes PC (during this time the other four Apple TV units work perfectly)
    I have tried multiple times with all combinations - any combination of 4 Apple TV units work perfectly well but I can´t add a 5th or 6th Apple TV unit.
    All of the Apple TV´s and the PC are connected by Ethernet and have no problems streaming once connected to the home share.
    I was wondering if this was an issue with itunes on the PC - if it is I will get a Mac mini and use that.
    The itunes account I´m using for the Apple TV´s only has one PC registered to it at the moment.  All the Apple TV´s say they are up to date and I´ve just updated the PC to the latest version of iTunes.
    I am not expecting to be able to stream the same movie to 6 Apple TV units but I would expect to be able to access the iTunes share from all 6 Apple TV´s at the same time.  If I had 6 different DVD´s I would be able to watch them in 6 different DVD players without breaching any copywrite so as far as I can see it shouldn´t be a problem.
    I can only think its a device licencing issue - it seems I can´t use more than 4 Apple TV´s per home share although the Apple licence says maximum of 10 iOS devices but does Apple TV count as an iOS device?  Is this a software bug or is it a licencing issue?  My iTunes account shows only the one PC registered.  When I connect the Apple TV´s the number of registered devices doesn´t change.
    Anyone successfully doing something similar?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I've never really been able to confirm how these restrictions apply, so far as I know there is a limit of 10 associated devices, which I believe is different to there being a restriction on home sharing.
    Here are my thoughts on the matter.

  • Is it possible to install a consumer app for mass usage that would alter the ios device proxy settings? Over the air not supervised. Can an app company use an MDM server to do this if the customer consents?

    HI Chris,
    Thanks for taking the time to reply.
    Could you expand on your answer, which bit is very doubtful?
    Also in your knowledge would Apple work with a company and license it if the software they were developing was desired by consumer demand?
    Thanks

  • I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.

    I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.
    I have been reasearching how to do this on the internet, but I haven't found an easy explanation yet.  My family is going crazy over each others imessages being sent to others in the family and not being able to use FaceTime because of conflicting email addresses.  I have read that if each person gets their own iCloud account, this would work.  However, I need to know what to do after I set everyone up with their own iCloud account.  Do I make that the default email address to be contacted or can they still use their hotmail email addresses.  Any help- with easy explanation- would be much appreciated!!

    We do this in my family now.  We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores).  Each iDevice has this configured.
    Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud.  That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup.  That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice.  You can just restore from it.
    So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
    In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
    Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response.  What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures.  Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures.  1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

  • Same apple id for multiple devices

    I have been use the same apple id for multiple devices (both are iPhones running iOS 6 - one is a 4, the other a 4S.) I'd like to sync separate content for each device using the same instance of iTunes (iTunes V 10.7 installed on MacBook running OS X 10.6.8.) Can I assign the second device a separate apple id in odrer to differentiate the content? Thanks for your assistance!

    No, a second Apple ID will not work. iTunes can already tell them apart.
    When you connect the first iPhone to iTunes, check and uncheck the things you want and Sync.
    Do the same with the second iPhone.

  • HT201084 My family shares one Apple ID on multiple devices.  How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

    My family currently shares one Apple ID on multiple devices and has for quite awhile.  How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID and the Family Sharing without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

    Thank you again for your time, GB.
    I set up individual Apple ID's for my children so that they could have their own Apple ID on their individual iPad minis (gifts from grandparents last year).  When I go to iCloud under Settings, I see my Apple ID listed at the top, then my children's listed under Family Sharing.  So the device is still using my Apple ID for iCloud, iTunes, etc., correct?
    To "assign" their own Apple ID to their own iPad mini, I would need to "Sign Out" from my Apple ID.  When I attempt to do so, I receive a warning that all of the Documents and Data will be lost/deleted. 
    So, instead of doing this, I figured out that I could do what you suggested.  Signing in using a child's Apple ID will allow her/him to use Game Center, FaceTime, and Messages just fine.  However, using their Apple ID for iTunes & App Store proved to be a problem:  Purchased Music and Movies appeared in iTunes, but my Purchased Apps did not appear.  Some Apps even disappeared, e.g. Proloquo4Text (a $99 app to help my son speak with his iPad).
    So I reverted to using my Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, and I get everything that I want, EXCEPT for the iCloud storage for each Apple ID.
    So that's when I started wondering how Family Sharing was really benefiting me ~ It was a lot of work (deleting apps to allow space to download iOS 8, etc) without any benefit that I can see.  UNLESS I find a means to allow me to sign in each iPad's iCloud account with a different AppleID, then perhaps restore the Documents and Data from a backup?  Would that work?
    Thanks.

  • Multiple apple IDs on one device

    Can i use more than one apple id on one device, though not simultaneously. I have an office apple id which has my corporate card linked, and a personal id with my personal card linked. can these two be used on one device of course one at a time.
    thank you for help with this information.

    Note though, that as far as the iTunes or App store is concerned, you can only change the AppleID once every 90 days, see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627

  • How to connect Apple TV to multiple devices

    I have a Pioneer HDTV connected to a Sony VAIO computer through HDMI which in turn is connected to a Sony 5.1 digital receiver through a TOSLINK cable. I have recently bought Apple TV and now need to connect it so that the TV, computer and receiver all all to each other. The problem I have is that the TV has only HDMI out and the receiver has only one digital optical out. What is the best way to connect the Apple TV to these devices?

    Your Tv is unlikely to have HDMI out.
    It may have HDMI in, question is how many inputs.
    The only official way to connect AppleTV 2 to your TV is via HDMI.
    You can send optical audio to the Sony reciever simultaneously.

  • Our family has one apple account, but several devices linked to it.  How do I sync my device (Ipad) without getting all my 11 year old daughter's apps on it?

    I need help syncing my Ipad.  Our family uses one apple account for multiple devices... how do I sync my ipad without getting all my daughters apps?  How do I know which of my apps need to be synced to the computer?

    Simply select only the apps that you want to sync to your iPad and then sync. You can control what syncs to the iPad. You may be best served by turning off auto sync.
    Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says - Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Click OK.
    Connect your iPad to the computer.
    Launch iTunes
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under the Devices heading.
    Click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right.
    Click on only the apps that you want to sync in the list of apps under the Sync Apps heading.
    Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked.
    Click on Apply in the lower corner of iTunes.

  • I am using my Apple ID on multiple devices for other people. How can I make icloud work only for my devices?

    I am using my Apple ID on multiple devices for other people in my family and now I am getting a new iphone and want to take only the information on my old iphone to the new one without the information on the other devices using the same account. Is there a way to do that?
    Also, for the future can I use multiple addresses and apple IDs for the same credit card information?
    Thanks in advance,
    Marian

    Ok, so you want to remove data (contacts, bookmarks, calendar etc) from other users from your iCloud/Apple ID?
    If you want to use your ID for your family because it is the account everybody uses to buy stuff then you only need to ensure that your apple ID is set up in the store (settings-store) and then the users of each device and put their own apple ID in icloud/message/facetime/etc.
    To set up your device, in my opinion, it is best to back up to itunes, and then plug your new device into itunes and "set up as ..." and select the backup from your device.  This will import all your data/settings and your new device will be set up just like your old one.
    I am not certain about using the same payment method for more than one account.

  • HT4314 I have 4 iPads and one apple Id. Two the devices record clash of clans and dragonvale individually and the other two are tied to the other two. Drives my kids nuts. How do I fix this?

    I have 4 iPads and one apple Id. Two the devices record clash of clans and dragonvale individually and the other two are tied to the other two. Drives my kids nuts. How do I fix this?

    Also, I'd prefer to keep the same ID on both so I will keep access to my calendar/contacts/etc on both devices.  Would I be able to share reminders and voice memos and the like as well?  And how often would they update each other?  If I edit a contact on the 5, and the 4 is in wifi, assuming they're both on my same ID, will the contact update on the 4? 

  • How can I put more than one Apple ID on one device to receive iMessages?

    I have a personal iPhone and work iPad.  I'd like to receive iMessages from my work Apple ID on my personal iPhone.  Since upgrading to iOS 7, I haven't been able to do so.  Is there a fix for this?

    Although you can use more than one Apple ID on the device at a time, only one at a time can be used for EACH FEATURE like iTunes, Facetime and iMessages,

  • Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes

    Can u use more than one apple account on your device and itunes

    Yes, but you have to logout of one, and login to the other.
    If it is an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and you buy apps on different accounts, when it comes time to update an app, you have to specify the password for the account used to acquirer the app. You change an iOS account via Settings -> Store -> Apple ID (tap on it), and start by logging out and then you can enter the other Id
    So it is possible, but it can also be a pain.

  • HT204053 Hi, my husband has downloaded ios7 and now he is receiving my iMessages/facetime calls.  Obviously we both use the same apple Id.  How do i keep using the same apple id on both devices, but disable my iMessages etc from his phone??

    My husband has upgraded ios7.  His iphone and mine have the same apple id.  he has activated "icloud" which i have never activated before.  He is receiving my imessages and facetime calls. How do i disable this yet still continue using our shared apple id on both devices????
    thanks

    Short term solution, do this on both devices
    Settings > iCloud > Shut off anything you don't want shared
    Long term solution (actual solution)
    You need seperate Apple IDs for iCloud. iTunes and iCloud are not the same.
    Create a new Apple ID > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    On one of the devices go Settings > iCloud > Delete Account > Sign in with the new Apple ID
    This will seperate your Contacts, Calendars, Messages etc.
    You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes and share apps and music
