Can I share my books on iPad with someone in family that has a different computer and email address

If you got them from iBooks, then no. As far as I know, iBooks are linked to the Apple ID that downloaded them. If you got them via Kindle or the such, the apps may have a sharing function.
If it's another app, then whatever  the rules of that app says is what works.
If you're looking for e-books on a budget, check out your local library. Many have e-books you can check out for a period of time, and they either work with an app or are PDF files with some sort of time limit encoding in them

  • I have recently opened a new account with Itunes.I want to download my previous music purchases to my new account which has a different computer name, email address and Apple ID. My credit card details remain the same. Please HELP.

    How can I restore my old account music purchases which I closed, to my new current account which has a new computer name, email address and Apple ID? The credit card details remain unchanged, so would this act as a tracking device  for Apple to locate my substantial past purchases?

    Why would you start another account?
    You cannot transfer purchases to another account.

  • HT6378 Can I share my iCloud-Photo-Library with my wife, so that photos from my iPhone and all photos from my wifes iPhone are in the same Photo-Library?

    I have a Apple-ID and my wife has her own Apple-ID, but I want to use only one iCloud-Photo-Library. Is that possible?
    I have created a Family-Sharing, but when I now set Foto-Library to on at both of our iPhones, I have one Library for my wife and another one for me.
    Is there a trick?

    Someone else can probably answer the family sharing question better than I can, but I wanted to respond with an alternate suggestion. I didn't find the features I wanted in family sharing, so I didn't give it much of a chance. It did seem like you'd have a separate album for each family member.
    I just recently started using Flickr and it's great. I looked into it a few years ago and there were limitations on how many MB's you could upload per day and I don't remember being impressed by the amount of free storage. Now Flickr gives you 1000 GB for free and stores the image in the original quality and size. If you download the Flickr app on your phone, you can set it to automatically upload all of the new pictures on your iphone, ipad, etc. If you and a family member share a Flickr account, you can both auto sync your camera rolls into the same Flickr account.
    Personally, I'm using Flickr as a way to automatically back up photos for free. I quickly ran out of free icloud storage and I haven't wanted to pay for more.In Flickr, the auto uploads from your phone are set to private by default, but you could use flickr to share albums with friends who don't own any apple products... unlike icloud photo sharing, that only allows your friends with an apple device to view shared albums.

  • Can I share purchased books from iBooks with separate iTunes accounts?

    Can I share purchased books from ibooks with separate iTunes accounts?

    While that's an understandable desire, the publishers don't want you buying a book and sharing it with multiple individuals who others would buy it. The inability to "share" a book or pass it on to a friend or relative when you're done is one of the drawbacks of ebooks vs traditional print ... And consider that when you pass on a real book to your wife, presumably you're not reading it at the same time. :-)
    Some other ebooks do allow limited (time-constrained) sharing of books - Barnes & Noble, for one, I believe - and they have an app for the iPad that would allow you to read books on it.

  • HT4059 Can I share a book I purchased with a friend?

    Can i share a book I purchased with a friend and how?

    They are supposed to buy their own copy.  It doesn't work quite the same way with iBooks as with paper books.  You would have to authorize their device for your media and that would make things tricky in all kinds of ways.

  • How come my iPad with iCloud doesn't sync with my iPhone 4 that has same apple id and both ios5?

    How come my iPad with iCloud doesn't sync with my iPhone 4 that has same apple id and both ios5?

    Not sure if you just have an issue with your setup or something else.
    I had an issue where my numbers and pages documents were not syncing on my ipad, but were on my iphone. 
    I turned icloud off an on, reset the apps, even deleted them and reinstalled them.  I also checked all of the other icloud setting. 
    Only thing that worked (and it might be just a fluke)  I emailed from my iphone a numbers document to my ipad.  I opened then closed the document and the app.  When I opened it back up it started importing my icloud documents.
    If it is a settings issue then you need to be sure you have icloud setup in your mail settings.  Has to be there and active. 

  • I have purchased a from within an app. I submit my password for the app, and then my Apple ID.  I then get the following messages "Regrant failure _ please log in with the same user that has bought this app"  and that is followed  by "cant conn with IT _

    I have purchased an item from within the app PocketBible on my iPad.  However when I try to download it I am asked for my app User Name and Password and then my Apple ID and password.  I give both of these.  I then get a message which says Regrant failure - Please log in with the same user that has bought the app.  That is then followed by  Pocket Bible Alert - cannot connect to iTunes Store.
    Anybody got any ideas, both what the 1st alert means and how I get round the problem please.

    I had the same problem. My wife had the PocketBible on her Ipad 2 and she transferred ownership to me. I had to delete the app and reinstall it from the App store(logged in with my apple ID) and its working without a problem. I do not get those error messages when I attempt to Buy/Upgrade or Add/Remove books.

  • HT4059 Can I share a book I bought with a friend

    Can I share books with friends on my iPad like you can on kindle

    All iTunes downloads are tied to the account that downloaded them, they can't be loaned or transferred to another account - so unless you give them access to your account then no, you can't

  • Can i share my birthday contact information with someone else?

    I want to share my birthday calendar with my wife. How I do that?

    I'm afraid you can't share it as a separate calendar as it is not synced with iCloud.  It's created on your device by pulling the birthday information in the contacts on the device(s) it's enabled on.  She would have to share the same contact list in order to create the same birthdate calendar on her device.

  • Can I switch my Apple ID on the same device and purchase software with my other ID that has a different credit card (or iTunes redeemed points) and then switch back to another user ID?

  • Ordered an iPhone 6 Plus off contract with a credit card that has a different billing address than the account.  Does it matter and is the order going to be cancelled if it doesn't process the card correctly?

    Just don't want to find out Wednesday that my order was cancelled or delayed because the credit card has a different billing address than the account.  If they check the validity of the card at the time you pre-order I don't see it being a problem.

    Oh, should mention I ordered right at 3AM (EST) on the 12th and got a Confirmation email with a Deliver by: 9/19/14 but when you try the "Check Status page" it spits out "Expected Ship Date: Not available at this time."

  • Can I share subscription to PS CS5 with a 2nd 'puter that needs it,too for our business?

    I recently purchased the Photoshop CS5 1 yr subscription. I am partner in a start up company and I, the artist, lives in new England and my partner, who is business/marketing end, AND ALSO HAS THE NEW GRAPHIC PRINTER, lives in South Florida.  We BOTH need to use this program. Since the program was subscribed to under the business name, can she and I share the program? Or, does she HAVE to do another subscription under the co name?  Thanks.

    Thanks for the answer.  I was certainly under the impression that I SHOULD be able at least 2 downloads - but I couldn't find anything in writing about it. Also, just wanted to make sure that, since it is for business and not personal use, that it's okay to have it installed in 2 different locations.  However, I guess once you think about it, a laptop is often in "a different location".
    Thanks a lot.  My first question on the Adobe forums and you were helpful.
