How can I share the same music but separate calendars and address book for 2 users on the same computer?
Can anyone help to answer if I can share the same music account on itunes but still maintain separate calendars and address books on the same computer?
Make sure each user has their own computer login.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to /Users/Shared.
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library and select /Users/Shared/iTunes/ folder.
Quit iTunes and log into other user.
Hold Option and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library and select /Users/Shared/iTunes/ folder.
That is all you need to do.
Any changes in iTunes by one will be seen by all others (since you are using the same library).
All users will have their own Contacts & Calendars and all other info.
If you are using Fast User switching, you must quit iTunes before switching users if others wish to use iTunes.

I have a primary XP profile and associated mailboxes/accounts. I am dual-booting to Windows 7 and want to share only that XP profile so that all of my mail appears (and is synchronized) in the Thunderbird browser regardless of which OS I boot to. This seems as simple as pointing the Win 7 mail account local profile to the original XP profile, but that doesn't work. And - please - don't point this question to the response regarding sharing profiles between windows and Linux. That thread hasn't helped. Thanks in advance
Well I have no idea hat thread your talking about, but regardless the process is always the same, use the profile manager to create a new profile and point the profile manager to the profile you wish to use.

We have 6 ipods and 1 iphone in our house. We have different itunes accounts. We use one computer. How can we share each others music? I moved everybodies itunes media folder to the public music folder but when I open itunes I only see that accounts music. We need different itunes accounts. We share 1 computer but we have different user accounts on the computer.
Adding media directly to the media folder does not make it appear in the library. iTunes doesn't really 'look' at that folder except to go to specific files when you call upon them from a library. You have to drag new content to each user's library, that is assuming each user has their own library.

how can I send an email to a group in my address book, but hide the individual names and email addresses?
You used to be able to do this through leaving unchecked the box in preferences "when sending to a group show all member addresses". However, that feature failed some time ago (two or three years?) and the only way to hide the addresses now is to put the group in the BCC field.

im using an iphone 4s with the latest firmware which is 6.1.3 but my wifi button keeps going grey how can i fix it? i rested network connections and it worked for a while and went grey again,what can i do?
Have you worked through the Troubleshooting iOS and WiFi knowledge base article? If not, see if there is info in there that might help.
Is the WiFi greyed out on all WiFi networks or just the one? If it does this on all then there may be a hardwaer problem that needs attention from the techs at an Apple store genius bar.
Before that, however, try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears. That clears a lot of iOS hang ups that occur. -

I have an IPOD classic with 80MB of music. I am trying to reinstall library from a new PC. it goes through the synch process but I get an error message for most of the content. Library plays on the pc under Itunes fine?
Disable the Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC option from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes and see if that helps.

How can I open two application together ? Ex. Calendar and reminders ?
When you are in one app, press the home button and open another app. You can't see more than one app at a time, but you can have as many open as memory will allow.
To quickly switch between the apps, double-click the home button. Active apps will be shown in the order you last used them. You can slide the active bar to see more of recent apps. -

How can I email a group list from my contacts/Mac address book?
I love the Apple address book for making media lists for my PR business because it enables me to add dates and actions. But when a client wants to see the list via email, I'm flummoxed. I've been rewriting as a Word document, but that eliminates the convenience of Address Book. I could print, scan, and send,but that's cumbersome. If we can share a contact, why can't we share a Group list? Or, am I missing something simple?
Thanks!Howdy J-carolyn9,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the article linked below, it’ll walk you through the process of printing a group of contacts from Address Book on your Mac.
Mac Basics: Address Book - Apple Support
If you'd like a tangible address book, print out a pocket-sized version of Address Book. Select the names that you want to include from the contacts list, or select a group, and choose Print from the File menu. Click Show Details, and choose Pocket Address Book from the Style pop-up menu, select any other options you want, and click Print.
Ciao,
