How can multiple apple Id's share the same iTunes library?

We are now starting to venture into teenagers and ore-teens. I would like to create multiple ID's for messaging and contacts, but I still want to use the same library... Is that an option?

Yes they have different sign ins for iCloud, FaceTime, Messages and iTunes, you can all use the same ID to sign into iTunes but use different ones for the others.

  • How can a family of 6 share the same itunes library?

    My family has a major problem on our hands. We are new to ipods and itunes. We have 1 itunes account. My sons are too young to have their own accounts. They are too young for a credit card, and can't have a paypal account until they're 18. We want to keep our music separate from each others. How do we do this with only one library? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    One thing not mentioned is that if you decide on the multiple user approach, you can have your music folder in Shared Documents so you only store the tracks once.
    Each user is free to choose which of those tracks they want in their library.
    There is an Apple help article on multiple users.

  • Can 2 different computer accounts share the same Itunes library?

    Does anyone know: Is it possible for two users on the same computer to "SHARE" the same iTunes Library so you don't have to duplicate libraries on the hard disk?
    So far I have been having to load 25GB of Music on my wife's account and the same 25GB itunes library on my account.
    I have put the single iTunes files in the "PUBLIC" music folder and set that as the default on the ITUNES "Preferences" but still does not work for some reason.
    Thanks

    Yes sir, did that but it still has the same problem.
    Now when I go to my wife's account (everything identical , playlists, etc. in both accounts) it does not know where to locate the songs. I place it in the default and it works, but as soon as I go back to the other persons account, the default has automatically changed back, and none of the playlists (although still intact) have again lost the location of the actual music (located on in the Public Music folder) very frustrating.
    It would seem to be simple.

  • How can my Spouse and I share the same Itunes Music on separate machines?

    My Spouse is on a PC desktop and I am on a Macbook Pro.  I have a large Itunes library on my Computer and he has a fair sized Library too.  We listen to a lot of the same music and each have Ipods. It's crazy to buy the same music twice.... is there a way we can share our music and make playlists for our separate Ipods?

  • How can I sync 2 computers with the same iTunes library?

    I have an iMac and a MBP, and I want to keep my iTunes library the same on both machines.  Is there an easy way to do this?
    Thanks!

    Home Sharing is the easiest way to do this.
    It works automatically if your music has been bought from the iTunes store.
    Here are some instructions on how to set it up: http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-Home-Sharing-in-iTunes

  • Hi, does someone know if I can use two Apple tv's with the same iTunes library? Thanks

    Hi, does someone know if I can use two Apple tv's with the same iTunes library?
    Thanks

    Yes you can use two (or more) AppleTVs with one iTunes library. They can both stream from iTunes (or the internet) at the same time, as long as you have a good working LAN and internet connection.

  • Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

    Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

    From what I can tell this is a bug.
    A very Frustrating bug. When the take 2 update launched I was streaming movies via "shared movies" from my synched computer without any issues. However after a couple of recent iTunes updates all the "shared" menus stopped appearing and I can no longer stream anything from my main computer.
    When I open up my macbook though everything streams fine, all the "shared" menus immediately appear.
    Numerous restarts, factory resets and reinstalling the 2.0 software have done nothing to help this issue.
    If anyone has any more light on the subject it'd be great to hear. Also I'm not sure which update broke it because I went about a month not using the apple tv.

  • Can two Macbook Pro's share the same Itunes folder(all media in Ituens) on an external drive (like Time Capsule)? How and what issues may arise?

    Hey, I have two macbook pros (250 gb). They are both running out of space. My first thought was to share an iphoto library off of Dropbox or our Time Capsule. But, I heard that if one file gets corrupted (interenet cuts out, for example) then the whole library gets corrupted. Well, we're full again and now I am wondering if I could move our Itunes folders to our Time Capsule, sync/sort them both so there won't be any duplicates and then use this as a shared itunes library. So first, is this possible? Both computers share the same itunes account.
    Second, if I do, and I purchase a song, show, whatever, does it automatically be added to the itunes library on our Time Capsule and then it is available for both computers to access? Or do  I need to "import" it on both?
    Third, does the "file corruption" issue listed above pertain to itunes?
    I saw a discussion about this but it was form 2008. I am sure things have changed a bit since then.
    Thanks for the help!

  • My partner and I have now both got an apple mac we share the same itunes account but want to use different icloud id's so that I dont get all her documents sync to my computer... is this possible?

    my partner has an ipad and i have a mac book pro... we share the same itunes account (apple id) but believe we can have a seperate apple id for use of the icloud... we do not want each others documents to be in sync with ipad and mac book... help? thanks

    Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
    Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

  • How can I sync two iphones to the same itunes account without deleting

    My husband & I both have iphones & we share the same itunes account. He just got a iphone 4 and we are trying to transfer his music from the old phone to the new one but we are unable to do that. There is a msg that says if we choose to sync all the songs will be replaced with music from the itunes library. So does that mean he will lose all the music on his phone, replacing it with my library? Help Please!

    I asked a simular question. It is confusing indeed.

  • Can you connect two iPods to the same iTunes library?

    This might sound dumb but I honestly have no idea - I want to purchase a second iPod but don't know if I can run them both from the same iTunes library? The new one I want is a shuffle so a much small capacity then my other iPod. Help.

    you can use a virtually unlimited number of mobile devices with a single iTunes library. in fact, Apple wants you to buy as many of them as possible
