How do I transfer my MacBook Air to my wife so she can sync her iTunes account and other settings with her iPad Mini?

You can change the account shortname to whatever you wish to use.
As you can see from my example above. Once you click on the Create User button a new account will be created.
She will need to get her own Apple ID setup so when she starts with iTunes she can open her own iTunes account unless you both want to share the use of the same Apple ID. This can create a bit of confusion if you have your own iPads or iPhones or iPods. As you have discovered it's pretty much one iDevice with one Apple ID.
As for the iTunes library that becomes a more complicated issue.

  • My laptop has crashed and I can't sync my iPad air. I have tried to back up off I cloud but it hasn't transferred all of my photos or music. Is there anyway I can access my iTunes account any other way?

    My laptop has crashed and I can't sync my iPad air. I have tried to back up off I cloud but it hasn't transferred all of my photos or music. Is there anyway I can access my iTunes account any other way?

    Your iTunes account won't include your non-iTunes purchased e.g. music copied from CDs etc, nor photos that were synced from a computer.
    To get non-iTunes music you will have to go via a computer. If you don't have that music on, for example, an external drive, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer then there are apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy them between devices and/or to a computer (though photos are 'optimised' as part of the syncing process, so if you do copy them back to a computer then they might not be the same as they were on your laptop).
    There is also this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • My husband wiped out the library on his itunes account and replaced it with mine.  Any ideas on how to get it back?  Our laptop does not have his library either.  only mine.

    How exactly did this happen? Were you using separate iTunes libraries on separate user accounts on the laptop?

  • How do I transfer apps macbook air

    Hi! I bought a MacBook Air and I have a lot of apps on my old MacBook.
    I'd like to transfer iPhoto from the MacBook to the Air, but don't know how.
    Anyone?

    Your MacBook Air should come with the iPhoto application already installed (look in the Applications folder.) Do you mean that you want to transfer all of your pictures over from the MacBook?
    The easiest way to do this is to use the Migration Assistant (located in /Applications/Utilities) where you can move over whatever data (and Applications) you want.

  • How do I turn my Macbook Air into a WiFi Hotspot?

    I have a 11" Macbook Air (MBA). While I am able to turn my iPhone4S to turn into a hotspot and connect my Macbook to the internet through this connection, I would like to use it the other way around as well.
    At times I connect my MBA to the Internet using a 3G Wireless Modem/Dongle. I tried activating Sharing in network settings, but I do not see the Ethernet/Airport options - only items visible are WiFi, Bluetooth.
    Is there a simple way of turning your MBA into a hotspot - something my iPhone can easily latch on to as a WiFi connection?
    Thanks!

    The only way, and I'm not sure the air models can do this, is to have a ethernet adapter, usb or thunderbolt, and have it connected to a router by ethernet and then you can set the wifi card into the hotspot mode.
    But if you have both a iphone with data connection and 3G dongle for the mac what is the purpose of connecting one device to the other for internet access? They both already have internet access and you are paying for both whether you use them or not.

  • How can my 7yr old have her own iTunes account to sync to her iPod, when our only other home computers are all already linked into other iTunes accounts and other iPods?

    My husband, my 13yr old, and myself all have our own computers, with our own iTunes accounts which sync up to our own iPods. But now my 7yr old has her iPod (nano) and wants to put her own songs on it, but we aren't sure how to go about doing that since each computer already only recognizes our own iPods. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated!...Thanks!

  • I currently share an itunes account and apple ID with my mom and I want to create my own one now. How do I do this? Will I lose everything on my iphone?

    I want to use my own email and credit card and manage my own account but I don't know how to do this and I'm hoping that I don't lose everything on my iphone right now.

    Hi Rileycarline,
    You can easily have an iCloud account that is separate from the Apple ID that is used for iTunes purchases. Take a look at the article below to walk you through that specific setup process of have an account for iCloud and one for Store purchases.

  • How can I control my pc and other computers with my ipod touch 5 gen ?

    Hello
    I have recently bought an iPod 5th Generation and I'm very happy with it !! My question is.
    I have an old laptop iBook and it is connected to a hard disk where I stock my music.... So basically, this old computer is my jukebox. The only problem is that the screen on the iBook doesnt work very well (I must press really strong alongside the mousepad in order to see something). So I was wondering if I could control and see (select music and more), from my iPod touch ? Should I absolutely need to have an Apple TV ?
    Is there an APP so I could control my iBook from my Ipod ?
    I also have another laptop (PC) and I was wondering if I could control everything from my ipod touch ? It could be really fun.
    Many thanks, C.

    The is the Apple Remote app that will allow yo to plave your iTunes music via the iPod.
    There aree also apps that allow controllig the entire computer via the iPod. See:

  • TS4055 How do I use my MacBook Air to access the Amazon Web Service?

    How do I use my MacBook Air to access AWS (Amazon web Service)?  The information provided to me by Apple Care seems to be about allowing outside access to my MacBook.

    Sorry, but does this relate to Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs, in some way? If so, how are you using ARD in relation to Amazon's services?
