Sharing+APPS

Sharing Apps Currently, when you purchase an app it is licensed to the ITunes **account** you are signed in to. A person may sign into their ITunes Account on up to **five** **computers**.

For example: I signed in at home with my personal ITunes Account and purchased "Pencil Bot" and ESL APP for $4.99. To transfer the app to my school computer: 1) I logged in to my laptop and signed into my ITunes Account. I did not sync my IPod Touch to my ITunes store because I did not want to erase my content. 2) Then I went to Store -->Authorize Computer. It now told me I had authorized 2 of the 5 computers I had for my personal account. 3) Then I went to the ITunes Store and downloaded Pencil Bot. When I clicked "Buy App" it said that I had already purchased the app. Click OK to download the app again for free. 4) Now the app is in My Library and I can sync it to any # of Touch devices.

Moving forward in order to share paid apps, we need to purchase all of the apps using a shared ITunes account. I have created a shared ITunes account, with no credit card on file. We can use gift cards as the currency instead. Our ITunes account is:

NOTE: We can only authorize ITunes to access this account on FIVE computers. To enable us to share paid apps with other LHS teachers in future projects, we are going to authorize a laptop to have access to our shared ITunes account. A laptop and the syncing case will be checked out to Jennifer Hernandez.

Any paid apps that we download from that account can be downloaded to Jennifer's laptop and she can sync them to the devices for her students. Paid APPS created from other ITunes Accounts can not be synced without losing all of the other content on the devices.
