How do we access iTune purchases on a shared computer? Only one account is seen although each can log into our separate accounts.

My wife and I have separate iTunes accounts and we share a Windows 7 PC. When she logs in to iTunes to sync her library / purchases, it only displays my playlist and purchases. To recap: Separate accounts, logged in as separate account holders, iPhone 3gs, updated OS, iTunes correctly displays connected iPhone for account holder. Can anyone help?

Emma,
If two people have separate libraries on the same computer, it is best to put them into two separate Windows User accounts.
Go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Add User Accounts, and get her set up in a separate user account.  Then move all her stuff there and from then on the two of you can operate independently on the same computer.

  • How do I access iTunes purchases in different accounts on my iMac?

    I would like to arrange for my family members to be able to access our family's iTunes purchases in their own accounts on my computer. Right now, we only have the full selection in the administrator account, which the kids don't use. How can I do this?

    Margaret,
    If no one answers on this forum please re-post in the iTunes forum.

  • How do you get iTunes to look at songs on only one drive?

    I have my main music on the C: drive and a backup on the G: drive. I only want it to see the music on the C: drive.

    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
    To open your domain file in Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • HT201269 Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time.  As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts.  How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account

    Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time.  As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts.  How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?

    Yes.
    On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

  • How can I move my itunes purchases to a different computer?

    How can I move all of my itune purchases on my old computer to my new computer?

    A third point of view...
    Moving your iTunes library from one computer to another...
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Should you have to resort to pulling data back from a device see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

  • How do you get iTunes purchased songs to automatically play one after the other

    How do you get iTunes purchased songs to play automatically one after the other without having to hit play for each song ? Also I lost all my pictures on my iPad when I installed iOS 7 upgrade. Any way to get them back? Thanks. Dr Ron.

    Hi Dr. Ron,
    By your question, I am wondering if you are playing your music from the iTunes app rather than the Music app?
    In the Music App, you can go to any of the options at the bottom and click on a song to play and it will then continue to play the songs in that category. You can also select "Shuffle" to shuffle them.
    As for your Photos, did you have them backed up anywhere?
    Cheers,

    how do I transfer itunes purchases to another hard drive

    Drag them or the entire iTunes library there. If you want the active iTunes library to be there, once done, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose it.

  • How do i access a purchased book that i have on my adobe application on my laptop from my iphone adobe app?

    how do i access a purchased book that i have on my adobe application on my laptop from my iphone adobe app?

    Hi j.v.fromnc,
    One of the advantages of having Pages in iCloud beta is its ability to share with other devices, so it is not surprising you want to be able to access it on your iPad. To begin with you will need to install Pages for iOS on the iPad.
    Pages
    Once the document is created in Pages in iCloud, it automatically becomes available to devices using your iCloud account. On the iPad, go to Settings > Pages and make sure that Use iCloud is on. Of course you will want to be using the same iCloud account.
    See this article for further information -

  • How do I stop another person using their own Apple ID accessing my Itunes library on a shared computer?

    My daughter and I have our own Itunes libraries on a shared computer.  However we can access each others libraries by using our own Apple ID.  This causes a problem because she was able to access my account and delete some music by mistake.  Is their a way that I can ensure no one can access my music?
    Thanks

    Emma,
    If two people have separate libraries on the same computer, it is best to put them into two separate Windows User accounts.
    Go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Add User Accounts, and get her set up in a separate user account.  Then move all her stuff there and from then on the two of you can operate independently on the same computer.

  • How do i download previous purchases to my new computer. my old computer crashed and i lost my itunes library

    how do i download previous purchases to my new computer. my old computer

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
    If you are in the U.S. you can use the cloud:

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Full Details Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
