How to properly setup Home Sharing with iPhone and iPad

Hi, In our home we have both an iPhone and an iPad, but with different user ID's for iTunes etc.
I just now seen that there is the Home Sharing feature, but looking up info on it I'm a bit scared that people are saying if you log in to another device with the same ID you get locked out of the original.
How could I properly setup Home Sharing on both devices, while being 100% positive that I keep my original device ID's in place?

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information about home sharing.

How do I setup home sharing on my new ipad

How do I setup home sharing on my Ipad ? I just installed an Apple TV and want to display content. Thanks

Once sharing is set up for both devices, go into the Music or Video App, and look for the Air Play icon .
Tap it to get a list of devices you can send content to, one should be your Apple Tv.
Tap it to select it and start plaing anything you want. It should show up on the Tv.

If you want to stream content from your computer, then setup Homesharing there, and then use the "Computers" Tab on the Aple Tv menu screen to access the shared library.

How do I stop MacBook syncing with iPhone and iPad mini

My MacBook automatically starts to sync iPhone and iPad when I open iTunes. I only want to sync with my iMac, but MacBook seems to override what I want as default for syncing. I have under preferences device ticked box to prevent syncing but it makes no difference.
Any help would be appreciated

On the PC from the Windows Start menu, choose Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud.
Make sure Mail is selected.
On the iPhone and iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Make sure Mail is switched ON.

How can I setup Home Sharing with a Sonicwall TZ 100?

I have configured Home Sharing on 2 laptops and 1 desktop in my home network. The two laptops (WiFi) see each other's respective libraries. Neither can see the home desktop's library. They are all on the same subnet. I have created firewall rules on all devices to allow tcp 3689 and udp 5353 traffic. I even went as far as disabling the firewalls on the computers (all three) completely. I have enabled Multicasting on the Wifi interface of the Sonicwall. The Sonicwall is setup in basic wan/lan mode with ALL LAN interfaces in the same port group to ensure they co-exist on the same subnet. I am running Itunes 10.6.
I still can't see the desktop computer's library and it can't see the two laptops.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance,
Shrpshtr

First, make sure you've got the home share set up on both computers, as per the following document:
iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer
Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.

How to turn off home sharing on iphone and put all of my music in one place?

I have the iphone 4 with ios7. I have Rihanna's Unapologetic cd that I ripped to itunes a while ago. Today I synced my entire music library to my iphone. The only way I can find the album by Rihanna is if I go to the home sharing on my iphone and choose my computer library! I'm getting really frustrated because I don't understand why I can't just have all my music in the music library and nowhere else? Also, all of my music appears to be on the cloud which doesn't make sense to me. Especially because I synced it all from my computer so why do I have to download to my phone again? Basically itunes is doing too much. Oh, and every time I sync my music itunes always deletes my playlists from my phone.

Consolidate your iTunes Library
As for the other part of the question, iTunes syncs with Apple devices.
Simply copy the media desired from the computer to the microSD card. This has nothing to do with iTunes.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.

To expand on Niels post...
First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Specs:

If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install the Snow Leopard Disc,
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
( It should be noted that Apple will send paid MobileMe members the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD for free.)

HT202297 How can I sync calendar on my mac book with iPhone and iPad mini?

How can I sync all calendars, like mac book, iPhone, and iPad ?

Set up the same iCloud account on all of your devices, then turn calendar syncing to On. This article explains how to set up iCloud on your iOS devices and your Mac: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/. You will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher on your Mac and iOS 5 or higher on your iOS devices in order to do this.

How can I get Outlook calendar to sync with iPhone and iPad?

I think I have tried evert known setting but syncing seems very selective. I have googled for solutions, too.
Currently, I load an even into my Outlook calendar (and have the right boxes checked in iTunes) but I am damned if the even will transpose to either my iPhone or my iPad! My Outlook also displays the iCloud calendar too.
Is there a definitive instruction that is, effectively, a child's guide to setting up Outlook to transpose events to the Apple devices AND vice-versa?
In my iPhone and iPad, I have the iCloud sync box ticked. In my phone calendars I have both PC and iCloud ticked. Events show in my Outlook and Outlook iCloud but not in the &^&^*&^(*&(*)&(* iPhone or iPad. I have had some close shaves over missing events and want to have this solved.
Pleeeeease?
Ron

An interesting additional symtom is that items loaded in the PC (which immedialely duplicate to the iCloud calendar on eht PC - no worries, there) do not transpose the devices (as above) but, loading an item into the phone, it goes to the PC (which is fine, too). But not to the iPad. Interestingly, there fewer calendar display options on the iPad than on the phone.
I talked to Apple a few months ago (after ISO 5) - mainly about the 6000 plus addresses that suddenly appeared in my Contacts - and his advice was do all contact and calendar actions on the PC. "icloud is still faulty"
So there we are! I must have items and reminders in my PC - it is my main work station - and need them on my devices to avoid conflicts when away from my office.
