we have several iphones in the family and want to share music.  do we need to have everyone on same account?

You will all need to be on the same itunes account ID.
You can however all have seperate icloud accounts aswel.

  • I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, but my husband has his own itunes acct, how can he use the main itunes library and get out music on his phone also

    I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, unfortunately my husband has his own itunes acct and when i change on his phone to my itunes acct it states that the email is already in use, any help on how to get the itunes match to go onto both devices, thanks

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

    Sorry for my english i'm spanish

    I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc).  Any suggestions?  What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

    how do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

    Sync them both to the same iTunes music library.  You can also automatically download purchased music to both by going to Settings>iTunes & App Stores and turning Music to On under Automatic Downloads.  If you music is in multiple computers, you can enable Home sharing to share your music library across multiple devices (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).

    Tom:
    I finally backed up the iPad to the laptop and deleted everything on the iPad and restored from back up. That cured the problem.

  • How do I update my iPhone with the latest version of iTunes?, How do I update my iPhone with the latest version of iTunes?

    I'm trying to synch my iPhone with my laptop but I need to get the latest version of iTunes on my phone. How can I update iTunes on my iPhone ?

    No, your computer doesn't have the latest version of iTunes, and your iPhone is running an iOS that needs the newer version of iTunes to be on the computer.

  • HT201745 There is no support in the website of apple ( a famous company for namesake) for resolving the problems arising out of latest version of itunes.   I find no button for sync in the new window of itunes then how can I sync music to my ipod classic.

    Sir,
                   On the hope that latest version of itunes will work more for me, I downloaded the itunes version 12 recently.  But to my surprise the sync button is not there even if I connect the ipod ( classic iOS 1.3 version).  My ipod serial No.is  8L730BL1V9M and it is ipod classic with buttonwheel.  I am having 32bit Windows vista home premium and using DELL system.  How I can find sync button and for your information, the itunes player window shows every song I have in the library and I cannot sync the songs to my ipod.  Hitherto there was no such problem for playing and copying songs from and to my ipod.  What is the remedy ? please tell if anybody knows.

    Hello ramaraoananthapadmanabhan,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the new version of iTunes. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing in iTunes when you have your iPod classic connected. If you are having issues setting up syncing to your iPod in the new version of iTunes, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • How do i share music between two iphone 4s , but not downloaded apps ?

    i am trying to sync mine & my partners phones so that we can share itunes between both phones, i have set up 1 itunes account (using my apple id) & we each have a icloud account, i have managed to get the music to appear on both phones but it also brought all of my apps onto my partners phone, i think this must be because the itune account is in my apple id, is there a way to share music only ?
    Also to play all the music that is on itunes library on the computer, on my partners phone, you have to change his shared music library setting everytime you wish to see all that is on the itunes account, is this correct?
    hope you can help,

    make 2 user accounts on the computer
    move the music to a folder shared between the 2 accounts
    add the music to itunes on each user account
    sync
    and thats it

  • TS3989 I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my macbook pro and I just got 2 iPhones for my family and only one streams photos to iCloud photo stream.  Both iPhones have the same Apple ID and have Photo Stream turned on.  Shouldn't both iPhones stream ph

    I have photo stream setup on iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and on 2 new iPhones that have the same AppleID as the MacBook Pro.  However only one iPhone will stream photos to iPhoto on the MacBook Pro.  All these devices were purchased in the last 2 weeks.  What setting is wrong?

    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
    Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
    If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
    Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

  • I have a gen 1 ipad and i  updated to the io5 and need to know how to sync my music videos please

    now some of my apps dont have sound. is there a way to fix it ...thanks

    The video side of the music video may be in the Videos App. Look for it there.
    If you don't have app sounds - read this .....
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
