2 iPhones + 2 Accounts = Sharing

I have a 1.66 mac mini with the latest OS that I use as an HTPC that my wife and I use for music, movies, email, iChat, etc. We're both getting the new 3G iPhone when it comes out this Friday so now I need to create a user account for her so she can sync her .mac, mail, iCal, iTunes, etc.
My questions are how can we share our iCal's? Would a program like 'BusySync' be the solution and would it work with MobileMe?
Could someone explain how to setup and share an iTunes library so that both accounts will reflect music that has been added or deleted? Again do I need to have a thrid party program like 'app4mac' to achieve this or since I have an AEBS should I connect a USB hard drive to it so anyone on my network can access it?
I hope I provided enough info. I appreciate any and all help everyone.

browaar We can definitely answer your questions about Edge. 1. If you sign up for Edge, you can pay off the full balance after 30 days for the Edge agreement and keep the phone. 2. Once you pay off the full balance or pay alteast 60% of the Edge payments, you can Edge Up to a new device. 3. If you are on Edge agreement you can't sign up for a 2yr contract with that device. Once your edge agreement has been completed, for your next phone, you can either use the 2yr upgrade option or start another edge agreement. Check out the Edge FAQ's here http://vz.to/1oDiPWt

2 iPhones, 2 accounts, shared music folder

So my wife was using our Powerbook to sync all of her information. Given that the powerbook is not intel based, she could not upgrade to iTunes 10, and could not update her iPhone with the latest software.
We have opted to have her switch from the powerbook to my dell. That being said we would like to have one shared "music" folder so that both accounts share the same iTunes library. The only thing of concern to me is that I don't want our phones to sync the same app data. For example, we each have the same app, but with different user settings. If we both sync off the same shared music folder will we lose our individual app settings and receive the same "app file" so that we lose our unique app settings and data?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

iTunes 10 does not require an Intel Mac.

No. 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by an app is not stored with or synced with the copy of the app in your iTunes library. 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is included with your iPhone's backup. iTunes creates and maintains a separate backup for each device.

Plug it in and sync it

If I restart an iPhone that is sharing a photostream with another account.. Will that account still have access to the stream?

Keep a backup from contacts (Address Book>File>Export>Address Book Archive) and Calendar (iCal>File>Export>iCal Archive) of your Mac and then press "replace".

I had changed my Apple ID on my PC and realized iCloud. On my iphone iCloud account is on the old ID. Could not find where to change it. In Settings-iTunes

I had changed my Apple ID on my PC and realized iCloud. On my iphone iCloud account is on the old ID. Could not find where to change it. In Settings-iTunes & App Stores – I had replaced the old ID with the new one. On my iPad 2 – iCloud account is on old ID, I cannot change it,
do i have to delete iCloud accounts and re=build them ?

Yes, you got it. there is no way to change - just delete. Usually there is no loss, but photostream is reset, so make sure to back up your pictures before you do.

TS1741 I cannot get the remote app for Apple tv work on either my iPad or iPhone. Home sharing is "on". Any ideas?

Why won' remote app for Apple tv work on my iPad or iPhone? Home sharing is turned on.

A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports

Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them

Best practice on managing two iPhones / iTunes accounts

I have always used two computers / iTunes accounts for my wife and I's two iPhones. Last week my iPhone and home computer hard drive both crashed (what are the chances. I am now pulling all data off my AppleTV and I am trying to decide how to set everything back up:
1. Put all content on wife's Toshiba laptop (Win7) and manage two instances
2. Buy a new Harddrive and reset up my desktop (which will only be used to manage digital media and occassional surf.
Any thoughts? How simple is it to manage two iphone/itunes accounts from one machine. Last posts I saw look like a bit of a pain, because I have to manage my music (the bigger amount of music) in playlists.
Opinions appreciated!

You're welcome.
Can I import the same music into both iTunes instances.
Yes, as long as your authorize the computer for each account that the music was purchased under, e.g- if the music was purchased under your account & you want the music in your wife's library, you would use her computer login, launch itunes, sign her out of itunes, sign in using your itunes account details, Store>Authorize this Computer, sign out, then sign her back in.
Do I need to just add one new user
Yes, and I assume you want full administrative powers, so you should set up your account as an administrator.
Once you've set things up this way, transferring purchased content(Apps & music) is real easy. Simply launch itunes, sign out of whatever account you want to transfer the content to, sign in using the account that has the content on the phone, File>Transfer Purchases, sign out after doing so & then sign the other party back in.
You also want to make sure that you disable auto sync when an iphone is connected under preferences in the edit menu. Do this for each login. You DO NOT WANT TO SYNC to each others account, just File>Transfer Purchases. That way you can share apps & music, which is permitted under the EUSLA for family members in the same household.

Had you set your iPhone up to use Photo Stream?
Had your performed an iCloud backup of your iPhone before it was damaged?
If you did neither of the above, then your photos are not in the cloud, and they are gone.
If you performed an iCloud backup, then it would contain the photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone) at the time of your last backup. You could restore this iCloud backup to a device.
If your iPhone used Photo Stream, those photos are immediately accessible to your iPad if you set it up to use the same Photo Stream.

i used an apple account of a friend to download apps to my iphone, the account then closed, now when i tried to update apps i download it from my account or i buy it using my account, its says that i have to put the password of my friend account, and if i want to update any app i downloaded or buy from my i have to delete it and download it again.
what can i do??

As far as I know you should be prompted for the password for an account that 'owns' one of the apps that requires updating.
If all of the apps with updates are linked to your account and that is the account that is now logged in, then you could try a reset and see if that helps : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

IPhone Bluetooth not sharing with iMac - WHY????

iPhone Bluetooth not sharing with iMac - WHY????
How can this function not be available on iPhone - What an embarrassing disgrace Apple!!
I refuse to conform to iTunes - NO!
Am so over your lack of basic user services Apple - sort your **** out!!!

The simplest answer is that the existing Bluetooth is not suitable for this purpose. With a max speed of 2.1 Mbps (0.5% that of USB), it would be pretty painful to use for this purpose - a backup of a 16GB iPhone would take a whole day. Transfer a movie? It would take an hour.
On top of that, Bluetooth doesn't provide a standard mechanism for the type of data transfer and synching that iPhone needs -- they'd have to write their own propriety one and you'd still have to use proprietary software to do the data transfer / synching.
A better mechanism would be standard Wi-Fi, which would be MUCH faster than Bluetooth and for which the protocols necessary are already in place. It's still comparatively slow to USB (about 10% that of USB), but much faster than Bluetooth. However, it appears that Apple's research has led them to believe that waiting an hour or two for the phone to backup over Wi-Fi using the existing mechanism is still undesirable.
From what they've indicated about iOS5, however, it seems that they will be supporting more over-the-air updating and synching mechanisms, meaning that, for the first time, you can do most everything but backup the phone without iTunes (though document exchange for certain apps is much faster and easier with iTunes, it won't be necessary).
