HT1727 How do i set up 2 different apple id's on one PC and share the same music library?

Hi, I have one PC but 2 apple id's between me and my wife and both of us need access to the music library and need to be able to sync our devices and preferences seperately. How is this possible? Any help would be appreciated...

- Disable autosyncing: go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods ...syncing">
- Connect the iPod and go to the music, apps and other panes for the iPod and check the boxes that say only sync the checked items.

  • My ipad imessages are coming up on my husband's iphone. Is that because we share an apple id account. How can we have separate apple id's and still share the same music library.

    my ipad imessages are coming up on my husband's iphone. Is that because we share an apple id account. How can we have separate apple id's and still share the same music library.

    The biggest problem I have is with cross texting. My friends send my a imessage on ipad to ipad and it comes up as message on my husband's phone as well as my ipad?
    My friends definitely do not want my husband seeing their texts. (and I dont really need him to see my responses either)
    Also, apple id is based on my email account, how do I create a new apple id without setting up a new email account?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. You can both use the same ID for the store login and share your music etc., and use different ID's to log in to iCloud, thereby keeping your calendars etc separate.

  • My iTunes library is on an external hard drive; how do I set it so other users (accounts) on my imac, will also have the same library, with the same playlists

    my iTunes library is on an external hard drive; how do I set it so other users (accounts) on my imac, will also have the same library, with the same playlists

    Quit iTunes.
    Sign into another user account.
    Hold Option, launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    Do this for all users.
    NOTE: You must quit iTunes when switching users as the library can only be opened by one user at a time.

  • Can 2 different computer accounts share the same Itunes library?

    Does anyone know: Is it possible for two users on the same computer to "SHARE" the same iTunes Library so you don't have to duplicate libraries on the hard disk?
    So far I have been having to load 25GB of Music on my wife's account and the same 25GB itunes library on my account.
    I have put the single iTunes files in the "PUBLIC" music folder and set that as the default on the ITUNES "Preferences" but still does not work for some reason.
    Thanks

    Yes sir, did that but it still has the same problem.
    Now when I go to my wife's account (everything identical , playlists, etc. in both accounts) it does not know where to locate the songs. I place it in the default and it works, but as soon as I go back to the other persons account, the default has automatically changed back, and none of the playlists (although still intact) have again lost the location of the actual music (located on in the Public Music folder) very frustrating.
    It would seem to be simple.

  • As a new member to the mac world could some please tell how i can get my imac, macbook and iPhone to share the same iPhoto library

    How can i share the same iPhoto library so that i dont have to update each computer?

    Not easily. iPhoto is designed for a single user. While it is possible to share the Library there are significant limitations.
    Some questions: Do you want all three libraries identical? Same photos, same Albums, Same slideshows?
    Do you import and arrange photos on one machine or on all of them?
    What networking do you have?
    Regards

    can we with ligthroom  have the sofware set up on multiples computer mac and mc and share the same dat base library?

    No, a Lightroom catalog cannot be on a networked drive, and can only be accessed by a single user at a time.

  • HT204053 How do I set up a second Apple ID?  Our office wants to use the iCloud calendar, but I don't want to use my personal Apple ID.

    How do I set up a second Apple ID to use iCloud?  My office is going to use the iCloud calendar on our PCs and I don't want to use my personal ID.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    You really don't want to do that, operate an iPad with 2 different ID's.
    I'm presuming you have a work iPad and you want to put some non work bought apps on it. You will have issues, like half the iPad not working while the other half does.
    Probably not something you want to explain to your IT department.

  • How do users on the same computer access the same music library?

    We have one macbook.  The music library is under my user id.  My wife can't access the library from her user id.  Is this possible that she would be able to access the same music from her id?

    Suggestion by Turingtest for multiple users and one library - http://discussions.apple.com/message/9117622 - use smart playlists and tags to isolate groupings.

  • Please can someone explain how to retrieve deleted text, I was clearing old text when one came through at the same time so was also deleted.

    Can someone please tell me how to retrieve deleted text. i was clearing old texts when a new one came through at the same time and was deleted also.  My last update was  iOS 8.1.2

    You restore from a backup that was created after the text was received but before it was deleted.
    But if you literally deleted it right after it came in, then it's not recoverable.  Have the other person resend the text.

  • How do I set up individual accounts for our families three iPods, while being able to use the same music library?

    My family has three iPod touches. They are all different. We want to be able to set up individual accounts for each of them.  When we have them all under the same account, every time we sync, they sync the last person's music and app choices. Help.

    Yu can use the same account.  Just in the Music and App and other panes for the iPod check the boxes that say sync only checked item.  You do not want to check sync the entire library.
    See:
    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
    For using different accounts also see:
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    Yu can use Home Sharing (iTunes>Advancedtab>Home sharing)
