Can I share purchased ibooks between family members?

My daughter and I have ipads and I'd like to share ibooks...is this possible?

As long as both devices are registered to the same iTunes account and the book was purchased on that account-yes.
If you have different iTunes accounts, no.

How can I share purchased apps between 2 diff users on the same mac?

A purchased app is associated with an Apple ID. A user with a different Apple ID cannot use the app unless they also use the same Apple ID.
I cannot use my wife's apps nor she mine because each were purchased with different Apple IDs.

How do I share purchased movies with family members?

Can I share a purchased movie or TV show with other family members NOT using Home Sharing? Can I transfer the purchase (like a gift) to someone else?

If you've purchased it for yourself then it will be tied to your account - you can only gift items from within the store, not from your purchases. If you don't want to use home sharing (which you can use to copy content between computers) then you should be able to copy them onto, for example, a flash drive, authorise your account on the other computer and then add the film/tv show to its library via File > Add To Library.

Can you share purchased apps between a Pre and a Pre 2?

I own a Pre (Bell Mobility) and just got the Pre 2 (Rogers). I probably intend on keeping both.
Question: can the apps that I purchased through the App Store for the Pre (using the Pre's profile and email address which are obviously different than the one on the Pre 2) be installed on the Pre 2 without having to purchase them again?
Thank you.
Post relates to: Pre 2 p102una (Rogers)

Hello bwc565 and welcome to the Palm forums.
My understanding of how the Palm App Catalog works is that purchases are tied to your Palm Profile, which is tied to an email address. It *might* work if you were using the same device and moving a single SIM card between the devices.
However, since you are using two different phone models, and have two separate Palm profiles, I don't think you will be able to move apps from your Pre to your Pre 2 without having to repurchase them.

How can I share purchased apps between different apple IDs?

Hi,
I bought a Mac recently and created a new Apple ID.
The Home Sharing for my Mac is 'on'. I want to copy my purchased apps from my Home Sharing account to my Mac. However, I'm struggling to do that.
Can anyone help me out please?
Thanks

Can u share purchased storage between devices

I bought an iPhone 4. I also have a I pad. My phone has run out of storage space so I purchased additional storage space from the iCloud. But I can't use he storage on my phone.

When users talk about storage, there are two types: storage on icloud (for storing emails, apple data like contacts and calendars, backups, etc.) and the storage on a device. If you a running short of storage on the device, then adding more storage on icloud will not help. The only remedy is to delete apps, music, and/or videos to make more storage available.
What kind of storage are you discussing?

no, unless the app has a sharing setting.

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.

Can you share kindle books using family sharing?

Can you share kindle books using family sharing?

Hi Charlie42,
Happy New Year! The link below explains how you can tell which purchased content is available to share using Family Sharing. Contact Amazon for more specifics regarding sharing their content. The Kindle app itself may be shareable, but the books may be considered an In-App purchase, making them not shareable. Amazon would be able to give you a definitive answer.

Which purchased content can I share using Family Sharing
After you set up Family Sharing, the eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps purchased by family members will be available to everyone else in the group. Learn what you can share with your family members.
If you turned on Share My Purchases, you can share most content that's also available in iTunes in the Cloud. You can share Music, Movies, and TV shows from the iTunes Store. You can also share Books that you downloaded from the iBooks Store, and apps from the App Store. The availability of each content type depends on your country.
There are a few things that you can't share:
Songs added to iTunes Match from outside the iTunes Store
In-App Purchases
Items that are no longer available on the iTunes Store
Items that were hidden
Apps that aren't shareable
If you're on an Apple TV, you can't access shared music.See if you can share an app
Use these steps to see if you can share an app before or after you get it.
App Store in iOS 8
Go to the app's description page. Scroll down to the Information section. If you can share it, you'll see Yes next to Family Sharing.
Go to Updates > Purchased > My Purchases. If you can't share an app, you'll see Not Shareable next to its name.
Mac App Store in OS X Yosemite
Go to the app's description page and check the Information section. If you can share it, you'll see Yes next to Family Sharing.

If one of your family members received their content through Apple ID for Students, you won’t see it in their shared purchases. This includes apps and other content distributed through the school.
Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing. Content can be hidden by family members; hidden content is not available for download. Content downloaded from family members or acquired via redemption codes is not subject to Ask to Buy.

Share iCloud drive with family members

Has anybody figured out how to share iCloud drive with family members?
I was using Amazon Cloud drive which used to have an app you could download and imbed into Finder, but with OS X 10.1 this is no longer supported so I've switched over to iCloud drive. So far it is working seamlessly, except for the fact the my wife has to log into my iCloud account on the web in order to download the files. Ideally I could share iCloud drive and she'd simply log into finder on her mac to view our files and records.
Thanks in advance.

You can only share iCloud Drive with someone else if they also log in to the same account. Otherwise, your sharing will be limited to the sharing options of the file itself, which is extremely limited. Hopefully they will add more options as time goes on, but for now, thats where iCloud Drive is at, in its infancy.
Good Luck.

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing existing songs

How can i add songs to a family members ipod without erasing her existing song list.

For future reference, since I came here for the same reason, I'd like to add to the solution. The link was not complete in explaining how to, but then again I'll just trying to attempt to fill in the gap.
After opening iTunes, on the upper left hand side is a small icon with an arrow pointing down. Click on the arrow and a menu pops out. Click on "Show Menu Bar." On the new bar(Older iTunes File, Edit, View, Controls, etc. bar at the top). Click on View and then Show Side Bar. There you can just click and drag new songs into your iDevice without any problems... hopefully...
Seriously, this helped me, so if Apple finds a way to not allow me to do this simple task of adding purchased songs into my idevices from another computer, I'll have to resort to other means.
The one idevice that's having trouble with is my iShuffle(2nd).
