Can I share stuff between two different Itunes accounts?

My wife and I each have an Itunes account.  We find it crazy that we have to potentially purchase the same stuff twice.  We do have most of the music on my account, but most of the business apps on her account.  We each have ipods, each have ipads, iphones and itouch.  This is a lot of Apple products to feel like we cant share much.  Is there a way?

Yes,
on the device login using the other persons account and go to app store. Check for apps not yet downloaded onto this device and you will see what you are missing from the other account. You can then download it onto that device and use it.
You then go to settings and store and go back to your own account. When you come to updates though, the apps bought using the other account will not update unless you login using the others persons apple ID or at least know their password.
My wife and I have the same apps distributed across two iphones and an ipad using a mixture of either's apple IDs.

  • Can I share music between two different ITunes accounts?

    My daughter has iTunes on her Ipod under her iTunes account and I have my music on my IPhone 4S under my account.
    We want to share some songs, is this possible?

    Import the music in to iTunes library that is used for syncing the device and then sync to the iPod.
    You can import by:

    how can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    If you mean iTunes Store accounts, there's really nothing for you to do. Just add the tracks to the iTunes library and play them. Music purchased prior to late-2009 will been to be authorized, though. Pull down Store > Authorize... and type the credentials of the Apple ID used to buy the tracks.
    If you mean something else, please describe in more detail.

  • How can I share calendars between two different people?

    I am trying to share my ICAL with my wife and she wants to do the same with me. For some reason I cannot find the path to allow us to see each otjer's calendars. Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Don

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted share data between two forms on different lists.
    To show external  information on the calendar event, there are two methods: Calculated column, workflow. You can refer to:
    A Simple Guide to Show More Information on a Calendar Event
    I recommend to use workflow to achieve what you want. But you need to create a people column to display the manager.
    You can create a workflow associated to the "Out of Office Request" list, add action to Start Approve Process. If the manager approves the request, you can create a item in the calendar, and then update the people column and the title column.
    Then the calendar will display the Title, date/time and the manager.
    To create a view for each manager, you need to modify the Filter. You can use the people column is equal to the manager name or the Title contains the manager name.
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • Can you copy purchase history between two different iTunes accounts?

    So I have music from two different iTunes store accounts that were purchased on two different credit cards. I want to buy and album & I have 7 of the songs from it, but it isn't showing up as purchased, because they were purchased on the other account. I don't want to pay for those songs again, so is there a way to copy the purchase history between the different accounts so I don't have to pay for them again?

    No.

  • Can I share files between two different networks at same location?

    Until TWC can offer DOCSIS 3.0 later this year or next...
    - In my home I have a closet where all my audio, video and network come together.
    - I have two cable modems from Time Warner
    - Modem A goes to a WRT320N; 192.168.0.1
    -- This router connects all my "heavy" downloads, ie. DirecTV receivers, Netflix, home server w/videos, gaming, etc.
    - Modem B goes to a E2000; 192.168.1.1
    -- This router connects my everyday use computers so they don't suffer poor speeds from all the traffic on Modem A
    My question is, how or can I somehow share files between these two routers without the need for hitting the modems? Obviously I can just push files over the Internet but I am doing it at a much slower speed due to upload restrictions on the modem.
    Thank you for any help on this!

    The easiest way would be to assign LAN IP 192.168.1.2 to the WRT320N and disable the DHCP server. Then assign static IP addresses in 192.168.1.* to all devices connected to the WRT at the moment, e.g. 192.168.1.10, 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.2, DNS 192.168.1.2 (or DNS servers of your ISP).
    Now you can connect a LAN port of the WRT to a LAN port of the E2000. All DHCP clients get the IP address from the E2000 which will assign the E2000 as gateway, i.e. they use the E2000 for internet. All other devices will have static IP addresses and use the WRT as gateway.

  • Can you move files between two different user accounts in Time Capsule?

    I copied a bunch of stuff from my old NAS (which used FAT) to Time Capsule under one user account... I then reformatted the NAS to HFS+ so I could just use it as a USB drive connected to the TC. Now I realized that I want to have one of those folders in another user directory. I cannot open two different sessions of the TC on the computer...at least I have not figured out how to do this. Is there a way to accomplish this without copying the folder to my computer, then copying it back to the other user directory? It is several gigs.

    you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has.  Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
    I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

  • Can you share libraries between two different version of iTunes?

    My school recently got MacBook Pro's for everyone, and we are allowed to put our music on them to listen to during study hall. I was just trying to transfer my iTunes library on my Windows computer over to my MacBook, and the home sharing doesn't show that they're on the same network. They're using the same wi-fi and I used the same account on both, but the Windows is on iTunes 11 and my MacBook is on iTunes 10. I can't download 11 on to my MacBook without a tech at the school's authorization, so I'm stuck with 10 on that one and 11 on this. Is that why the home sharing won't work? If so, there isn't anyway I can revert this one back to 10, is there?

    Yes,

  • Still can't figure out how to share apps with two different itunes accounts, two different apple ids (homesharing for music works fine) this is between my wifes iphone 4s and my ipad 3 4g anyone help ?

    My wife has an iphone 4s. I have an ipad 3 4g. Homesharing between the pc, the ipad and the iphone is fine, but only for music. Many forums say that apps can be shared between devices but HOW ???? I can't find a solution anywhere. My wife and I have separate apple ids, separate icloud accounts and separate itunes details....
    Anyone help ?

    Select the name of the shared library in the source pane of your itunes, and click on the wee disclosure triangle to the left of the name of the library. Does "Apps" appear beneath the name of the library?
    Here's a screenshot of what I mean. (Unfortunately, it's not showing "Apps" because there aren't any in that library. But fingers crossed it should give you an idea of what you're looking for.)

    If it is in your itunes on your computer, then select it to sync just like everything else that you sync.
    The music must be on your computer.

  • Can I use the same music file for two accounts to be able to set up two different iTunes accounts?

    I would like to set up two different Itunes accounts on my mac.  I would like to have different accounts for my wife and I so that our devices have different accounts/contacts/email and stuff but we would like to use the same music library.  Can I set the different itunes to go to the same file to see music?  Or could I copy the music file and give the copy to the second itunes account?  I could set it up and authorize the music like for another user?  Is any of this possible?

    Hello 19firedude
    Try moving the entire iTunes Media folder to the Shared folder on your Mac and then in iTunes preferences, change the location of that folder to line it up. Then all you have to do in another user is follow the second set of steps to get that shared properly. Check out the article below for more detailed instructions.

  • Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same mac?

    Can we have two different itunes accounts on the same account? I am having trouble accessing mine from my sons.

    Yes you can.
    The fact you cannot access your son's library from your User account is intentional. User accounts on your Mac are nearly as separate from each other as your Macs are from anyone else's on the planet. To copy music from his account to yours, first copy it to the Shared folder, then log into your account and import the music. Then, you can erase it from Shared.
    The Shared folder exists at /Users/Shared.

    I'm going to give my old iPad to my granddaughter, I want to create an account for her, but I want to do it on my computer so there are no worries about who is spending credits for that account. Don't know how this will work, or if its possible to two iTunes libraries.
    Okay.
    She's going to use your computer to sync with iTunes.
    Create an new computer login on your computer for her. This will keep her stuff separate and she won't be able to mess with any of your info.
    Log into her computer account.
    Launch iTunes.
    Create a new iTunes account for her. See this -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
    You can enter a credit card to create the account then delete the CC info. Or you can use an iTunes gift card and she can fund the account with gift cards instead of using a CC to make purchases. This is an easy way to control spending.
    on the iPad, go to Settings > iMessage > Off.
    Then Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content & settings.
    Once it finishes, plug in the iPad, select it in iTunes and this will set it up as a new device. Enter all your granddaughter's info.
    When she wants to sync her iPad or use iTunes, she needs to log into your computer with her account.
    Then the iTunes library she uses will be only hers.

  • 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.

  • Can I use two different itune accounts on one computer?

    Can I use two different itune accounts on one computer?

    1. Give her a separate user account on your computer. If you have a backup copy of the library, you can restore it.
    2. If you encounter a 90-day waiting period, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they'll remove it.
