Can i give me wife Itunes content if she has a different Apple ID/Itunes acccount?
Hi folks,
Just bought the wife an ipad and the iTunes App is installed on it.
My wife has her own Apple ID and itunes account.
Her itunes account has little in it to date.
Is it possible for her to download an artist/track/album from my library for her own account/library through the local network?
I know that obviously you can just share libraries with firends etc, but thought as its the one local/home network there may be a way for here to add content to her library from mine, without her using my apple ID, changing my library, deleting tracks, compromising etc....??
I simply want to give her some of my apple purchased/matched music.
Thanks folks, appreciate your help
Simon.
Simon, Does she have her own iTunes library on a computer, to which she syncs her iPad? If so, the best way is to give her a copy of the song files, either by using a flash drive or by the iTunes Home Sharing capability. She can add it to her own library , and then sync her iPad.
To your question about sharing, song files purchased from the iTunes Store are restricted to "personal, non-commercial" use. The term us generally understood to allow sharing between related members of the same household, which is why Apple provides Home Sharing across multiple libraries over the same local network.

I just subscribed to ITunes Match. I was able to connect my phone and Ipad but I cant't connect my wife's phone. She has a different Apple ID.
The iCloud and iTunes Store account ID are not the same thing. They can be different although some folks, like myself, do have the same Apple ID for all the Apple services. Go to Settings > Store and enter the exact same iTunes Store account ID you used to purchase iTunes Match. Be aware you can only switch Apple IDs on an iOS device every 90 days.

How can I find my wife's iPhone? She has a different iCloud account from me.
How can I find my wife's iPhone? She has a different iCloud account from me. I can find all of my devices on my iCloud account. But since the last software update we needed to set up separate iCloud accounts in order to be able to use iMessage independently.
Interesting. This never occurred to be a problem to me but I think I can see your point. Leave feedback for Apple on this here:

I have our music collection on iTunes Match for my PC, ipad and iphone.
Can I share that music collection with my wife so she can play that with her iphone? Even though she has a different Apple ID from me?Her iPhone will need to be set up to iTunes Match using your Apple ID to be able to share music via iTunes Match. Otherwise you'll have to download the music to your computer and then copy those tracks into her iTunes library, assuming hers is separate.

I purchased OSX 10.8 can I put it on my wifes computer too even though she has a different apple ID?
I purchased OSX 10.8 and it is on 2 of my computers can I put it on my wifes computer too even though she has a different apple ID?
The OS X license states that you can install it on as many computers as YOU own and control. So, technically speaking, your wife needs to get her own license; however, if you both use the same Apple ID......
FWIW, the license is not transferable, so if you sell/gift your computer, you must uninstall it and reinstall the original system (or the buyer will encounter major problems such as not being able to reinstall the OS if necesssary). -

Can I download previous purchases on a new device with a different Apple ID?
My daugther got an iPad mini for Christmas and setup her own Apple ID. Prior to this everything we bought went through my account. She wants to download the music that is on my account but I am telling her she can't because she has a different Apple ID.
She told me that last night she went to a friends house, had her friend login to her Apple account and downloaded some of her songs and then signed back into her account and said I can just do the same thing. Is this really possible? If it's not, how did she get her friends music on her iPad?Not exactly:
when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID.
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90 day timer. The timer must complete 90 days from the day the device was associated before it can be associated to another Apple ID.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
In other words, she won't be able to associate the device with her new apple ID for 3 months if you download past purchases on it with yours even if you subsequently dissassociate the device afterwards. -
I have 2 iphones 4s's, ones my wife and one is mine. we have different apple IDs, can we share one itunes account?? if so, how??
If you haven't set up your own Apple ID already don't. I suggest you use the same apple ID as your wife's. The alternative is to do this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848. It's not efficient as you have to swap apple id's to update apps under both IDs. 20/20 being hindsight, I would have never created a 2nd apple ID for my wife.
Hope this helps. -
We have two ipads and two different itunes accounts, can I sync my wife's apps and she mine?
we have two ipads and two different itunes accounts. can I sync my wife's apps and she mine?
Yes, you can use the apps from both accounts on the same iPad. You will both need to authorize each others iTunes account for use in each others computer account. You may authorize up to five Macs/PCs to use stuff from your account and that computer can then transfer the stuff to up to 10 iOS devices.
Open iTunes in your account and have your wife sign into her iTunes account in the iTunes app. First authorize your computer account to use her iTunes stuff from the iTunes Store menu. Then have your wife download all of the iOS apps that you want to use into iTunes. Now you do the same in her computer account.
Remember that only you can update apps acquired with your iTunes account and vice versa. So you will need to either sign into iTunes on the computer or directly on each others iPad to update any apps that need it. It is a little confusing at first, but you get the hang of it quickly. -
I just joined apple itunes match and I want to know if I can access my music on my wife's iPhone if she uses a different ID and password . If so how can I do this?
You would have to sign in with your account. Be aware that an iDevice or Mac or PC can only be associated with a particular iCloud/ iTunes in the Cloud account once every 90 days. So if you associate your iTunes in the cloud/Match account with her iPhone ,she will have to wait 90 days before going back to HER itunes in the cloud account.

Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?
No. You cannot link your contacts to hers. However, you can use Home Sharing to share the information:

iOS- Setting up Home Sharing on your iOS device
Setting up Home Sharing for Apple TV (2nd & 3rd generation)

My husband got a new ipad and set up his own apple id without looking into the implications of that. Now I want to sync this ipad with our itunes so we can access it on here, but our itunes has a different apple id. Any way to do this?
You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

How can I transfer some of my Itunes songs from my computer to my husband's iphone? He has a different apple ID and every time I do this, my IMac says it will erase and sync. I've checked the manual manage box but no luck.

It says that his computer is authorized, but as soon as I try to transfer anything, I get a message saying that my iphone is already synced with another iTunes library
What does the iPhone have to do with anything?
Don't plug yoru iPhone into his computer.
Do I need my iPhone to do it or can I do it from iMac to iMac? Thanks for any help.
So you have two different computers?
Just enable Home Sharing and he can copy the songs from you iTunes to his then he can sync his iPhone to his iTunes.
