Using 6 Accounts Of My Family To Sync On One iPod Failed.
Posted: Dec 5, 2007 7:03 AM 		 

I have 6 family members and each of us have an iTunes Store Account. (One Computer)

I just bought a iPod Touch this month and tried to sync all the songs and purchased songs.

But I received an error , something like five-users itunes account limited..

Is there any solution to sync with 6 accounts??

We purchased a lot of songs....

You can only put iTunes purchased DRM protected songs from a total of 5 different iTunes accounts on an iPod.

The only solution would be to not put on any songs from one of the accounts.

Sorry but no, there's no solution. An iPod can only be synched to material from a maximum of five iTunes Store accounts.

That means I have lost all the songs from 1 account?

No, why? Did you delete them?

I have 1 account with a lot of purchased songs.. and 5 accounts with a little bit puchased songs..

But seems like that it doesn't allow me to sync the biggest account.

I want to listen that account..

How to choose which account to sync?

I don't want to lose all my songs in my iPod Touch..

Seems like useless if I don't sync it with my iPod Touch

Take the songs from one of the smaller accounts off, so you can then copy the larger account, and burn the songs from one of the smaller accounts to a CD and then Import them back into iTunes. Then you'll have no DRM on those songs and you can put them on too.
