Can I share the music I have on iCloud with wife?  is there a family plan?

Using iPods and laptops we could all be the same iTunes identity and just one of the five devices.  now with iCloud, iPads and iPhones do we all need to have our own music collection or can we share?

You can all use the same ID for iTunes, but separate ones for iCloud; the former would be for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and the latter for iCloud email, calendars, contacts and bookmarks syncing, Photostream, and so on.

    You can get Mifi devices (the iPad connects to it via wifi and they then give access to 3G networks). I've never used one and I don't know if they are available in Canada (and if so how much they would cost). If you have an iPhone then you could also use that as a mobile hotspot

  • HT4527 I tried home sharing between my desk top and my lap top. My desk top is the original computer with my iTunes library. On my lap top I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes. Is this all I should see? Not my entire library?

    I have tried to install home sharing between my desk top and lap top. I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes on my lap top. Is this normal? I thought I would be able to see my entire library.

    Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't merge accounts.
    You can however share or import content from another library/account using homesharing.

  • Can I share the books I have purchased with my wife even if she is not on the same account?

    Can I share the books I have purchased with my wife if she is not on the same account as I am?

    Then the answer is that each of you purchases and syncs from your respective iTunes accounts and Apple IDs, therefore to transfer any purchased item from one iPad to the other would require syncing that iPad with the other person's account, and that will mess up all your respective synced data.
    Of course you can swap iPads for bookreading, I suppose.

  • I have an iPod classic, 30GB - I can no find the music I have synced

    I bought another computer about 2 yrs ago. I have not been adding any new music to it, but I can not find the music I have synced with my iPod. I hesitate hooking up my iPod to the computer. Could I lose mu music?
         Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks. Jim

    If you have signed into iTunes on the computer using a different Apple ID that was used to originally download the music, that's why it's not loading in iTunes.
    On the computer with iTunes open go to the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Sign in with the Apple ID used for those purchases.

  • How can I share the music on my ipad with my imac using home sharing?

    I’ve been trying to share the music on my ipad with my imac. I've set my apple ID account on both of them but I can't get any of the songs I purchased on my ipad to my imac. Even though, when I click my albums it shares the music on my imac to  my ipad. the reason why I couldn't do this before was that I had recently purchased my ipad and created a new account that was different from the account on my imac. so can I use home sharing on itunes with my ipad and imac? and if not then how else could I share the music on my ipad to the itunes on my imac?

    iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
    The above makes it sound like it is one way, computer to mobile device.  Perhaps something below says differently.

  • HT1719 My itunes doesn't list "devices" above the playlist.  How can I sync the music I have purchased to my new ipod shuffle if it doesn't give me the option?  The shuffle is plugged into my computer, but nothing happens.  Help please!

    My itunes account doesn't list "devices" above the playlist, as the syncing instructions give.  How can I sync the itunes I have purchased & downloaded to my computer, to my ipod shuffle?  The device is plugged into my computer, but nothing happens.  Shouldn't the computer recognize the device? It doesn't.  Please help!

    As a test, shut down your computer and disconnect ALL USB devices.  Do this procedure to Reset the shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Start up computer with nothing connected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if it's not a laptop).  Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.  See if there's any improvement,
    If the shuffle is now recognized, there may have been a USB device conflict previously, or maybe all of the devices connected at the same time overloads the USB bus (for power).  An iPod charges its battery while connected, so it is a high-power USB device.

  • Just bought an apple tv and it wont stream music from my imac. when i click on the apple tv music icon it goes straight into the itunes store and so i can only access the music i have bought from itunes not the music i have stored in itunes on my computer

    i just bought an apple tv and it wont stream music from my imac. when i click on the apple tv music icon it accesses the itunes store and brings up only that music i have purchased from apple instead of all the music i have stored in itunes on my imac.

    The music icon will only access your purchased music. You need to go to the computer icon. It must be on and running iTunes, and home-sharing enabled in order for it to be accessible to Apple TV

  • Can't download the music I have already purchased

    I purchased an album last night from the iTunes store, it charged me for it, and then gave me and "error (-50)". If i go to downloads I see all the music sitting there, but it won't let me download any of it because of the error. Its not just that album, i tried to download another song, it also didnt work, waited overnight thinking it was just iTunes, but nobody else seems to be having this problem. If i can't get my music then i want the 10 dollars they charged me for it back, any ideas? thanks
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   iPod Video 5th Gen (30Gb), iPod w/Color Display

    Yeah I know, i just found that and read it, but I wasn't downloading any video. I went ahead and tried to follow their steps on there for the video error -50, but it told me to go to "itunes music" then the "downlaods" folder, which I don't have =/ So I'm not sure, I just now emailed support about it.

  • I can't find the music i have down loaded year ago before my Iphone crashed!! how can i find them and put them back in my iphone?

    I have downloaded music in the past. Then something happend to my iphone. I lost all those tracks!! Now i try to find them and download them a gain but the Itunes store tell me taht i have downloaded them allready! How can i put them back in my iphone or itunes???

    Start iTunes, under STORE > iTunes Store. Click Purchased (NEW) top rght.
    Note: Music is not supported in all countries. If your country is supported you can click Music, Apps and Books to re-download.

  • I moved from Brazil to USA and as I changed my Apple ID address I can't listening the music I have bought in Brazil anymore cause it says that the songs isn't avaiable in this country as the magazines I have subscribed and in still paying for monthly.

    Changed country and don't have access to my purchases

    You won't be able to redownload any of your Brazilian purchases, as well as being tied to the account all purchases are also tied to the country that they were downloaded in - you will only potentially be able to redownload them if you move back to Brazil and have a Brazilian billing address on your account. Have you not got copies of them in your computer's iTunes library and/or on your backup of your downloads/library ?
    For the magazines, you could cancel them : Manage your auto-renewing subscriptions.
