iTunes Question

[Fingolfin269]

Some of this is hypothetical but I want to throw it out there just so I'll know for potential future purchasing purposes.

I currently have a MBP. (large capacity)
I'm thinking about purchasing an iPad2 in the next couple of weeks. (16GB capacity)
I'm thinking about purchasing an iPhone but will probably wait for iPhone 5 (or 4GS or whatever it gets called). (32GB capacity)

So obviously here we have 3 different devices (at least, assuming no iPod touch) with varying capacity levels. Here are my questions, please feel free to add questions I'm not asking that you think I probably should be asking too. 🙂

1) Can I have all of these devices tied to one account on iTunes and sync to all of them?
2) What if I were to add a couple of different iPods as well? For example, a Touch and a Nano or two Touches?
3) Basically, is there any limitation to the number of devices I can sync to my account? I obviously don't want to purchase content more than once.
4) Since all devices have varying levels of capacity, I assume you can tag content so that it will sync to one device, some devices, all devices? Just want to confirm because obviously I may only want to sync a movie or two at a time to the iPad, no movies to the iPhone, but keep everything on the MBP.

Thanks guys.

You can have up to five computers authorized at one time on an iTunes store account (it's really the store you are talking about, not iTunes the software).

There is not a limit to the number of devices a computer can sync to.

so...

1 - Yes
2 - Yes
3 - No - except for computers.
4 - Smart playlists can do this.

Each device will have it's own profile. So you will choose to sync no movies on the phone. Then you plug in e iPad and set it up to sync some movies, etc.
