Help! How to authorize another computer?
I've my iPhone 4, two iPads & 1 iPod Touch for the kids. I purchased apps, movies, and music using my iTunes account, and the apps/movies can be shared among the device. At this moment, all my devices are sync to my MacBook Pro.
Problems arise recently -
1). My MacBook HD is running out of space, since the apps/movies/TV shows/ etc occupied over 100GB of harddisk space. The kids do not want me to delete anything, but I have no choice.
a). My wife has a 17" MacBook Pro with more space. Is it possible to move all iTunes purchase to her MacBook (and authorize her computer)? If yes, how to do it? Note that my wife have been sync her iPhone with that Mac as well (her own iTunes account).
b). I still want to keep my iTunes (Apple ID) on my MacBook, but ONLY for sync my iPhone4. Is it possible? Also how to avoid iTunes automatically download the movies/music that were purchased on my kids' iPads? Whenever I open iTunes, it automatically download those Disney Channel stuff which I don't want to 😝
2). A little off topic. I have an Apple TV - used to work fine. It plays any purchased moive/TV show from my iTunes (my Mac). Recently (after unplugged for a month) it doesn't work. It ask me to go to iTunes stores to authorize the computer (my Mac is already authorized, but I don't see why Apple TV need to be authorized). Right now, if the kids want to watch their episodes on TV, they have to watch it from the Cloud, "wasting" my limited bandwidth 😟
Thanks!
