I want to share iBooks between mine and another family members iPad without purchasing the books twice. Is this possible?

If you have the same AppleID then just download on the second iPad by going to Purchases in the Bookstore.
If you are not using the same ID then you have to purchase again.

HT1766 Can I share ibooks with another iphone?

Can I share books that I have purchased on ibooks with another iphone?

If the other iPhone is on the same iTunes account, otherwise no. That is my biggest heartburn with e-books as a whole, not being able to share, pass-along, resell or donate books you have read, like you can with hard copy books.

Can I share iBooks with another device that is authorized for the purchasing account?

Is there a way to share iBooks with a device without connecting it to the machine running iTunes with the purchasing account?
I know that it is possible to download iBooks to a device that uses a different Store account by connecting the device to the machine machine running iTunes with the purchasing account, but is it possible to do so with a device that syncs to iTunes on a different machine (using a different account)?

It will only be where you put it.
If it is on the ipad then transfer it to your computer, File>Devices>Transfer Purchases, then sync it to your iphone

How do I share songs with other family members?

I would like to know how I share songs and movies with other family members who have different accounts.

- Sync them from a computer. You can sync music and videos from different computers/iTunes library manually. See the manual method included in:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
- You can also redownload the directly to a device if the device ha iTunes 5 or later by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
However, you may end up with the 90 day wait to. See:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID

I need to make my own apple id because I'm older and don't want to share everything with my family but if I do, how do I get all the music and everything I bought?

I don't want to share my apple id with my family anymore but I own over 2000 songs and a few other things I bought so would I be able to get them if I got a new apple id?

You don't. Everythng downloaded with one Apple ID can not be transfered to another Apple ID. So you would need to buy it a second time. This is one of the Pit Falls of the whole Download only model.
That is why I refuse to buy things like music or movies that are tied to a specific User Name, ID.

Can I share ibooks with another person

Can I share my books with another persons iPad not connected to my iTunes?

There is a risk that if you allow then to re-download your past purchases on their iPad or computer then the iPad or computer will be tied to your account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - if it's a good book then I'm sure they wouldn't mind buying their own copy.

How can i share iBooks with my wife's iPad?

I read different approaches on this site, and tried a couple of them, to no avail.
Here's what finally worked for me:
I logged into my iTunes account (which backs up my iPad2). I jumped out to Finder, created a New Folder called Books. Then I went back to the ITunes window, clicked on iBooks, and then one by one dragged the books my wife wanted into the folder.
Next, I inserted a thumbdrive, and dragged the Books folder from my desktop to the thumbdrive.
Finally, my wife logged into her account and opened ITunes, plugged in her iPad mini, went to File > Add to Library, and highlight the thumbdrive, and then the folder Books, and clicked on it.
All of my iBooks then transferred to the iPad mini's collection. A few steps, but pretty fast and easy.

Can't help with the iBooks issue (sounds like you tried the right thing) but for Kindle, you need to download "Kindle for Mac" from Amazon and log into the same account that your wife uses. http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=kcp_mac_ln_ar?docId=1000464931

Can I share iBooks with another iPad user?

Can I share my IBooks on my iPad with my wife who also has an IPad?

As long as she has access to your iTunes account - they can't be transferred or lent to a different account

Share folder with some family members

Hello,
I have one Imac with several users (wife and kids). I like to share some data with my wife without access by the kids. That means I want to have a folder, where both of us can save files and have read/write access to the files. It seems difficult, that files inherit the rights from an given folder.
What I managed to get was: administrator is changing the rights of the existing files and both have read/write access. BUT if a new file is added, only the person how added the file had read/write access. So I as Administrator have to change the rights anew.
What do I have to do, to pass the rights of the folder to new generated files?
Does anyone know a solution?

Just change your iPhone's sync settings -- with your iPhone connected to iTunes, click on the Apps tab and choose to sync only selected apps, then choose the ones you want loaded. You can also drag and drop them to where you want them on your iPhone.

How to share the Photos library on iCloud Drive with other family members?

I have uploaded our family photo-library to iCloud drive (136GB+). It works great!
But how can my wife (with her own iCloud-account, but within the family) see and use our library?

Tnx for the reply, though I already feared this was the answer.
Family sharing works well for keeping contact lists separated and we do not need to see all the crap the other half shoots with their iPhone.
But as family-members, we DO want to use our communal photo-library.
It would be great if you could share your entire library with family-members or at least select which albums to share with who.
Also it is silly that you can share a photo only to one other iCloud-album. If I shoot a nice pic of the kids I would want to share it with my wife AND with others.
The same would work for contacts. The family-head should be able to assign which contacts are shared and which are separate.
I hope Apple will update the family-possibilities so that this is fixed.

How do i share content with my family without becoming responsible for payment of everybody's purchases? with familysharing i mean, not home sharing

how do i share content with my family without becoming responsible for payment of everybody's purchases?
with familysharing i mean, not home sharing
i have set up a familyshare for my parents and 3 siblings, all mid twenties. everybody is used to paying their own way. how do i make that continue to be the case and still keep the sharing facility open?
e.g I don't want to pay for my sisters' music purchases - half of it i don't like - but would like access to it now and then.

-> Home Sharing is different than logging into the iTunes store.
You enable Home Sharing using one AppleID. Doesn't matter which you use but all devices must use the same AppleID for Home Sharing.
