Using two apple Ids on one PC

I am unable to download purchases from my icloud to my itunes library on the pc. I get an error message saying I can only download past purchases on this computer with just one apple i.d every 90 days. Any ideas?

Thanks for the quick and thorough reply. Wow, what a pain! You'd think there'd be a way. For me it is almost worth it to just delete it and re buy the app (now $2.99) because it's a pta to deal with if and when updates, upgrades and any other unforseen issues arise (which they actually have since I got it--and I sat here for a while trying to deal with it). Well, now I know... don't make costly typos! Geesh

  • Using two apple IDs on one Itunes account

    I recently purchases a ipad for my 86 year old mother. I want to also add music to it that I have cd's for. She now has an Apple ID of her own and I have my own Apple ID. The problem is this, when I log out of my itunes account and log in as her, I can still see all my music library as her. How do I see NOTHING under her account, until I actually load in music for her. Then can i sync her ipad using my OWN Mac and have it appear on her ipad? I have not enabled home sharing at all. Thank you!

    Phil, I am confused about your statement/answer:
    ""Is it possible to create two Apple IDs on one iTunes account?"
    Yes.  I have two."
    Apple says:
    "An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID."
    Thus an Apple ID is the same as the iTunes account.
    Did you mean can yu use more than one Apple ID on one iPod because yuo know the answr is yes.
    Or have I go something wrong?

  • Can I use two apple ids on my iPhone?

    if I do this will I only be able to see the apps downloaded using each particular apple id account on my iPhone at any one time...?

    That only applies if you turn on Automatic Downloads or iTunes match.
    To the OP, you can ignore Philo124's post.
    No, it Applies if you download content from one then switch to another and download content from the other. Automatically or not.

    Not sure if its only limited to past purchases or new ones as well though.

  • How do you create two apple ids for one email address.

    I bought two i pads for my kids. Since we have just one email address, everytime I try to create a new apple id it says I already have one. They need separate ids so their friends can facetime with one and not the other. Can't figure out how to create two apple ids with one email address.

    Well any ideas on how to solve this problem? When my daughter does facetime with someone it says she's Wyatt. She's not real happy about that. 
    Get her an email address, even if she never uses it.  They're free and available almost everywhere.  The only requirement is that the address be a valid one.
    Edit...
    You can even use an "alias" of yours.  That's a fake address that actually sends everything to you.  Check with your current email supplier.

  • HT204053 Can you merge two Apple IDs into one?  It was a common issue caused by the iPhone 4 and has been corrected, but transferring purchases in iTunes is a pain with two IDs.

    For a brief time when iPhone 4, iOS 4 came out, many of us ended up with two Apple IDs.  I want to know if anyone can please provide me with simple step-by-step instructions on merging two Apple IDs into one?  It would make transferring purchases on iTunes much easier and reliable.  I realize i desperately need an iOS update, but i had no laptop for over two years!  I'm posting a cry for help on that in another community.  Thank you all.

    No,
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?

    Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?
    If so do you know how to do it?

    It depends on what you want to do.
    You could, for example, have one AppleID for iCloud backup [and therefore message syncing, notes syncing, etc] and a second one for iTunes [music, iBooks, etc].
    But if you are looking for a way to flip everything between different appleIDs, then no.

  • Can you have two apple ids on one mac?

    Can you have two apple ids on one mac? We each have iPhones and want to utilize iCloud.  Is this possible?

    No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
    If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
    1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
    2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
    On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
    On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
    3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

  • Is there a work around to use two Apple IDs across and iPhone and a MB Pro?

    iPhone 5 and Macbook Pro Retina late 2013.  iOS 8.1 and Yosemite. 
    It's a company iPhone and a personal MBP.  Phone has an Apple ID associated with company credit card and MBP personal Apple ID with personal credit card.
    There is a cross platform issue as you cannot use two Apple IDs in Facetime and Messages.  Therefore my iPhone and MBP do not interoperate correctly, for example, a text message in messages on the iPhone will not appear in Messages on the MBP.  Similar situation for FaceTime.  When you try to enter the second email associated with the second Apple ID on either platform you get "cannot verify because email is already in use".
    Any work arounds?
    This is something Apple should have really anticipated as iPhones become more widespread in corporate use.

    Thank you for your continued interest and research on my behalf on this situation. I was on the phone with Apple support (at no charge) for over an hour yesterday. Becasue I have what they cal a "vintage computer"(7 1/2 years old), there are some additional issues.  We thought it was solved at teh end of the phone call but aparently it was not. I am going to call them now and see what else can be done. I will keep you posted.
    Thanks again.

  • I have two Apple ids but one was a typo, how do I get rid of it?

    i have two Apple IDS. One was a typo and I cannot get rid of the email. The right email is there, but when I go to update the wrong email shows up, and I do not know the password to it. How do i get rid of it?

    What did you do with the Apple IDs? Did you download content with the bad ID? Apple does not provide a way to merge IDs, so if you did things with the bad ID, the only thing you can do is delete that content and download it with the correct one.

  • 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,

    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:

  • 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.

  • Using 2 Apple IDs on one device

    I want to use the cloud match/storage service for our family media. I have 2 iphones, an ipad, 2 macbook pros, 2 itvs, 2 ipod touches and 4 desktop computers. That all currently use the same itunes apple ID for media play & purchase. however the 2 iphones use different  mobile me accounts for sync of contacts calendars and such and one of the ipods is set up with a mobile me for my son with his desktop for sync. I want the seperation but I want the sync... can I keep my itunes accound synced and iCloud based for my family amongst the devices and still have seperate iCloud accounts for myself, my wife and my boys.

    I have two Apple id s,one from day dot before the email address requirement
    Address 1 is my iTunes id simply a name 
    Address 2 is my iCloud apple id (email style)
    I use both accordingly.
    When I need to apply a password the system obligingly tells me which id requires the password which are different
    Not sure whether this is the split you want but consider my set up and compare with what you are trying to achieve

  • I'd like to know tips for sharing apps between my wife and myself on two iPads with two apple IDs and one computer.

    I'm new to iTunes, app store, and managing content on two iPads and an iPod. I manage both iPads and an iPod on one computer, but we have two apple IDs. All my music is on a home-theatre pc. I don't really understand home sharing yet, and I am hoping for some tips from experienced users to keep me from losing content, or mixing up apps and confusing digital rights etc.

    You cannot share apps, or any other content purchased from the iTunes Store, between two different Apple IDs.  Those purchases are tied to the Apple ID.
