Can an itunes library be shared between 2 apple ids?

Our itunes library is set up under my husbands apple id.  I am try ing to set up iCloud on my new iMac and ipad under my id.  I want to have our library under my id as well.  Is that possible?

Of course. To do it, open iTunes holding the Option (Alt) key, so you will see an option to create a iTunes library. Note that, after doing that, you will have two iTunes libraries in the same account, so you can choose the one you want to start iTunes opening it while holding the Option key

  • Can an Itunes library be shared between 2 apple ID's

    I have a personal apple ID and have my Itunes library on my mac.  I share the library with by daughter but we are on the same apple ID.
    My employer is issuing us Iphones and I have a neww employer issued apple ID.  Can I sync my Itunes library on the new Iphone with a different (new) apple id?

  • Home sharing between 2 Apple IDs

    My wife has her library on her Macbook Air & recently purchased an album from iTunes that I'd like also. My library is on my MBP & we both have our own Apple IDs. Is it possible for her to share this album with me?

    That depends on what you have used her new ID for.
    If you've used it for iCloud she can now keep her mail, contacts etc private, but if you keep using the same ID as she has done previously for iTunes and homesharing, your music, apps etc can still be used by both of you.

  • ITunes library is split between iTunes/iTunes Music and iTunes/iTunes Media/Music

    My itunes library is split between iTunes/iTunes Music and iTunes/iTunes Media/Music, what should I do to combine them? I would like all my iTunes stuff to be in one, organized, location.

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    If you have upgraded from version 8 (or earlier) to iTunes 9 (or later) at some point, then your media folder (everything inside the red outline) may still be called iTunes Music instead of iTunes Media. The extra Music folder inside the media folder is used if you have allowed iTunes to Upgrade to iTunes Media Organization (iTunes 9) or used File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" (iTunes 10). Depending on your choices for Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library plus a little bug in which one build changed the name of the file storing the choice of layout it is quite easy for some of your files to be organized according to one layout and some the other.
    Somehow it seems you've also managed to get both an iTunes Music and an iTunes Media folder. I'd recommend you make sure the media folder preference is set to iTunes Media before you continue...
    Assuming you're happy letting iTunes organize your files the following steps should tidy things up (should it be necessary):
    1. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" and click OK. Skip if this option is greyed out (already upgraded) or you prefer the older layout.
    2. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Consolidate files and click OK. This will bring any files currently organised outside the designated media folder into it. NB This will create duplicate copies of any file that needs to be consolidated, and you will need to manually clean up afterwards. If space is at a premium try my scripts Unconsolidated to find out what would need moving and ConsolidatebyMoving to move rather than copy it.
    3. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab, uncheck Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK.
    4. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab, check Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK. This triggers iTunes into reorganizing everything according to your preferences.
    5. (Optional) Close iTunes, rename the folder iTunes Music as iTunes Media then restart iTunes. Check under Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab that the location has automatically updated. If you can't access the media for any reason just undo the folder rename. (Not relevant in this instance).  
    6. (Optional - Windows only) If Windows Media Player has ever had access to your files it may have liberally scattered folder artwork files about which iTunes won't tidy up when it reorganizes things, thus leaving behind a heap of folders with artwork and no media. I've written a script for cleaning this mess up called CleanDeadArt.
    PS If you really prefer the older layout, but it is already in the new one then edit the file called .iTunes Preferences.plist in your media folder and change the integer from 1 to 0 before doing step 3.

  • Why can't I do file sharing between Macintoshes ?

    Why can't I do file sharing between two Macintoshes ?
    I have 2 Macs in the same room.   Both are connected to the same router (wired, not wifi), I have verified their connection by going to the Internet successfully on both machines.
    I have disabled all security functions I am aware of. I turned off firewall, turned on file sharing, allowed all users for file sharing.
    Yet, when I tried to connect to the other Mac permission is denied. I'm told to contact the network administrator, (that's me).   Both machines are running OS 10.9.5.
    Strangely, I was able to do “screen sharing” which doesn't solve my problem.
    I just want to move files from one Mac to the other.
    Is there something I'm missing here?

    (Yosemite falsely identifies iMovie HD 06 as not compatible.)
    Actually, it is by design; according to their Engineers, they have coded iMovie HD 06 not to launch - that is what I was told after submitting my bug report. So, it still works in Mavericks, but that is as far as it'll go.

  • One of my movies I bought shows up on my mac in the itunes library but not on the apple tv.

    I own about 30 movies on my apple tv and one of my movies I bought shows up on my mac in the itunes library but not on the apple tv. How do I fix this issue and get it to show up on my apple tv?

    Two things to check
    1st
    Settings
    Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    AccountsHow many accounts are there?
    2nd
    From Home screen press Mail app
    Press the top left button (next to Inbox)
    You'll see all the Inboxes for the accounts present
    You'll know either way whether one or more accounts has been setup.
    SIDE NOTE: Not too sure about MobileMe though, might be integrated with iCloud, not sure.

  • 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

  • Can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone?

    I want to buy some songs from a HK Apple ID and a JP Apple ID.
    I just hope the songs of two Apple ID can appear in one iPhone.
    But I don't want can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone.

    Are you currently in Japan or Hong Kong ? You have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to buy or download from its store, that is included in the store's terms.
    You can sync content from different accounts from your computer's iTunes library.

  • Switching between two Apple IDs - 90 day wait?

    I have been smoothly transitioning between two apple IDs on iTunes for the last year. I have just switched from PC to Mac and suddenly there's a message that states I have to wait 90 days before I can associate another Apple ID with this device. I don't really understand what this means, especially since I've already successfully logged in to both Apple ID accounts in iTunes on my new Mac.  I don't want to wait 90 days every time I buy something from one account before it will let me buy something from the other (is this what this means?)  I'd really appreciate an explanation from the learned Mac-user community.  Thanks so much for your help!

    Thank you, I did find that information myself, but it didn't really make things clearer to me.  Once the 90 days is up will I be able to switch back and forth as I please? Or do I have to wait 90 days every time I want to switch IDs?
    You can switch back & forth now as you please for new purchases (not for redownloading). 90 days is for redownloading.
    iTunes prefs > Store.
    Uncheck Automatic Downloads.
    And why wasn't I aware of this wait time on my old PC device?
    You never saw this because Automatic Downloads was not ticked.

  • Can an iTunes library on a has device be shared by two mac computers?

    I have an iTunes library on a has device and would like to share or use the library on two macs. Is this possible?

    Additions to Niel's post:
    Make sure both your computers are authorized with the iTunes Store to be able to play back all content.
    Only one computer can open the library at a time.

  • Can one iTunes library be kept in sync between two computers?

    Hi,
    Just got a new Powerbook to supplement my iMac G5. I'd like to maintain one iTunes library on both. Is this possible? I understand I can copy my current library from the iMac to the Powerbook. But is it possible to then keep them in sync? That is, if I buy a few songs from the ITMS while traveling with the Powerbook, is there an easy way to sync with the iMac when I get home such that both libraries have the same songs, playlists, etc? I'm guessing one approach would be to copy the entire library over, but I'm hoping there's a way to just copy the updates/additions. Any advice?
    Thanks!

  • Home Sharing between 2 Apple ID accounts on separate PCs...can our iOS devices access both?

    Hi All
    Hope someone can help.  My wife and I have separate iTunes accounts with separate Apple IDs on separate PCs.
    We both have HomeSharing turned on and can access each others music libraries from both PCs which is great.  However when I try to access the home shared libraries from our devices (I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2, and my wife has an iPhone 5) when connected to the home network I can only see my own shared library on my devices and my wife can only see her own shared Library from her iPhone 5.
    Just for background we are both running the latest iTunes and are on win7 PCs, my iPhone 4 is on iOS7, the iPad 2 and iPhone 5 are currently running iOS6
    Is there a way to see each others shared libraries on all our devices when we connect to the home network through wifi?
    Many thanks!
    Chris

    Hello Chris G Shirley,
    In order to do this, you would need to switch between the two Apple IDs used on each system in Settings > Music.
    On iPhone, go to Settings > Music, then log in to Home Sharing using the same Apple ID and password.
