Can you share songs and apps but use multiple apple ID's?

Can you share songs and apps but use multiple apple ID's?

hmm, that's a trick one! what I would do is go to Messages>preferences>accounts and then select imessages and then select account details and then sign out. Then your wife will need to sign in with her apple id.
hope this helps!!
let me know if that works because I've never actually tried it.
simply adding both of your accounts to be reached at will prove to be faulty because when you reply you can only reply with the one email address. And even if you switch caller id's it probably still won't work. So I think my method would be the easiest way to do that at this time.

  • Can you share photos between machines that use the same wifi network? Thanks for your help.

    Can you share photos on i-photo between machines that use the same network or even between different accounts on the same machine? I know you can share music on i-tunes but can you do the same on i-photo? Thanks for your help.

    Yes.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    You can figure out using it with another machine from that too

  • Can we share media on one computer between multiple apple ids?

    I recently purchased an imac for our family. I'm new to the apple world and have many questions. The most important deals with itunes though. My wife and children have had ipods for some time, adding media to them using a windows pc (under one apple id). I'm wondering, first how do i get the songs from my wife's ipod/pc onto our new computer (she has an ipod touch)? And secondly, can each of us have our own seperate apple ids but share songs and other media purchased under each other's accounts? We need seperate id's to use things like "chat" on our ipods.

    Yes. You need to sign in with the correct Apple ID.
    You can check it out on computer iTunes, select the song, right click and choose "Get Info"
    You can see Purchased by and Apple ID used to obtain them.
    If it's only a few, your choice is to delete them from computer and buy them again with the correct Apple ID

  • How can you share Contacts and use Family Sharing?

    Still sharing 1apple ID & 1 iCloud from way back when.  Kids were little, syncing was simple... turned off their device iClouds and synced apps, playlist, shows w/ iMac via usb.  I loved having my contacts, bookmarks, notes synced via iCloud and it became VERY handy when kid1 got an iPhone (appointments, practices, friends #s w/ ease!)   We've recently added a macbook and another iPhone to the mix, we've got music issues & iPads ringing.... so a potential overall may be due?
    Now that Family Sharing is here, it's still missing features that we USE:
    * Notes (grocery list, packing lists...)
    * Contacts (each family member has a 'group' name, they add to their group and the family's master list is 'all contacts' for anyone to access incase of emergencies.... anyone keeping up w/ kids lately?!)
    * And the ever present iCloud icon is a looming feature for anyone, any age in the shared-family to be too curious...
    * CAN any of these features be added along w/ Family Sharing?
    HOW do I set up a simple family sharing system w/o interfering w/ bookmarks, personal notes, FaceTime/msg crossovers :
    share our purchases (apps, music from our iTunes/playlists, podcast),
    share our calendar
    share our contacts
    share a family notes
    msgs/facetime for each member
    mom: iphone, ipad, imac
    dad:  iphone
    kid1: iphone, macbook
    kid2: ipad
    kid3: ipad
    Thanks to anyone that has this set up and will share the method to my madness.  Didn't know where to post this, sorry about that.

    After having burned the AudioCD from iTunes Menu Advanced choose "Submit Track Names ..."
    That will put the data of your CD into CDDB.
    It may take between some hour and a few days until it is recognized on a second computer through CDDB.

  • In order to share music and apps but not calls and messages, should two iphones have different or the same apple id?

    My sister started an itunes account when we were younger and she first got an ipod. Later I got an ipod touch, so we thought it was smarter that I use the same account so we can share apps and music. Since then my sister has gotten an iphone, my mom has gotten an ipad, and i have kept my ipod, with all of our devices on the same account. Now I got an iphone, and im wondering if i should keep the same account or if now is a great time to get a new one. Im not sure if you can have both iphones on one account without confusion with messages and whatnot, and likewise im not sure if you can have two accounts with shared purchases. Any advice?

    Yuu can also
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • Can you erase songs from iTunes, but keep them on the iPod???

    Hi, I'm a newbie and tried to post this question earlier, but I'm not sure if it worked.
    I'm wondering if there is any way to update your ipod, then take some of the songs on itunes, but still plug your ipod in later and keep those former songs on the ipod even if they're not on itunes. I'm thinking this isnt possible. But I wanted to make sure. I have limited HD space, but a 30GB ipod, so I was considering my options.
    thanks!
    angela

    Set the iPod to sync manually; you can then delete songs from iTunes without them being deleted from the iPod automatically. You should keep another copy of the songs if you do this, as they can easily be lost if they are only on the iPod.

    No.  Apps are only compatible with devices running iOS such as the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad.

  • How Can You Share Music and Keep the Song Details?

    I've done a bit of research on this and I'm hitting a wall. I'm trying to figure out how to:
    1) Burn a playlist from my computer into an audio cd
    2) Rip the audio cd on my friends computer with the song details still intact
    These are personalized playlists, so CDDB wouldn't have the data. I want to be able to do this using audio cds, not data cds. I've tried to work with XML files to do it and just can't figure it out. If anyone out there can give me some steps to accomplish this, it would be infinately appreciated.

  • Can you overlay two PDF documents, but use second PDF as watermark to first?

    I have two PDF documents that I want to overlay page by page. (It's a long story, but the purpose is to create an PDF cast. Livescribe Education :: Guest Blog: How To Embed Text Behind a Livescribe Pencast PDF)
    The known method to do this is basically overlaying a JPEG file on a PDF page. The process becomes extremely cumbersome if there are more than 2 pages of PDF. So I'm looking for a way to overlay one PDF file on top of another PDF file in the form of watermark.
    Is there a plug-in or app that can facilitate this?

    Open the first PDF with Acrobat Pro.
    Now use the tool that lets you insert a background.
    Select the second PDF.
    Adjust the scale of this PDF (in the dialog) as needed.
    When done consider flattening the layer.
    Be well...
