I'd like to know tips for sharing apps between my wife and myself on two iPads with two apple IDs and one computer.

I'm new to iTunes, app store, and managing content on two iPads and an iPod. I manage both iPads and an iPod on one computer, but we have two apple IDs. All my music is on a home-theatre pc. I don't really understand home sharing yet, and I am hoping for some tips from experienced users to keep me from losing content, or mixing up apps and confusing digital rights etc.

You cannot share apps, or any other content purchased from the iTunes Store, between two different Apple IDs. Those purchases are tied to the Apple ID.

Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?

Can you have two Apple IDs on one IPAD? One for school and one for home?
If so do you know how to do it?

It depends on what you want to do.
You could, for example, have one AppleID for iCloud backup [and therefore message syncing, notes syncing, etc] and a second one for iTunes [music, iBooks, etc].
But if you are looking for a way to flip everything between different appleIDs, then no.

Is there a way to stop sharing apps between my iphone and my daughters ipad. We share the same email and itunes account.

is there a way to stop sharing apps between my iphone and my daughters ipad...we share the same email and itunes account.

You can keep the same Apple ID for purchases, but set up her own iCloud account for email and syncing.
You can easily and effectively use the same ID for purchases.
What you do is use the apple ID you have been using for app/book/movie/music purchases. In Settings > Store, make sure you are using your usual apple ID.
Then, set up an icloud (@me.com) account for you on your phone, and one for your daughter on her phone. In Settings > iCloud, make sure each of you are using your new iCloud accounts, and not your Apple ID.
Also, in Settings > Messages > Receive At, make sure you are using your iCloud accounts
This way, all of your purchases are using one account, and you can effectively use iCloud.

ITunes sharing among iPhones with different Apple ID's one computer WITHOUT home sharing, shared folder, etc...

I feel like I am losing my mind, here. A few things I want to clear up before you read my question:
No, I am not new to Apple. Yes, I understand that Home Sharing works for any group of devices authrized with my Apple ID. Home Sharing is not my issue.
1. My wife and I have different iPhones with different Apple IDs.
2. We only have one computer, on which iTunes is running under my Apple ID.
3. My iTunes library is far too large to paste into a shared folder. I keep my source folder on a 1TB external hard drive (not enough space on my iMac).
I just want her to be able to plug in and copy music onto her phone from iTunes. Home sharing is great while she's at home on the wifi, but not when she leaves. I created her own user name on my computer, set her iTunes (under her Apple ID) to pull from my library source file, and she can play everything fine, except that she cannot click and drag files onto her phone.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

iTunes Match is associated with one, and only one, iTunes Store Apple ID and country-specific store. The service cannot be shared between Apple IDs.

If we sign up for iTunes with the one account with the majority of the songs, is Home Sharing no longer available to the other two accounts?
Of course it is. iTunes Match has no affect on Home Sharing.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
A. What happens to the songs on the other two libraries? Can we never use them?
It is possible to consolidate the tracks from the other iTunes libraries into one and use that for iTunes Match. Make sure the one computer that hosts the library is authorized to play any protected content.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
C. If we purchase songs/albums while in iTunes Match, and then decide not to use Match in the future, do we lose all our music?
Of course not. Any purchases go to the purchase history for the Apple ID that bought them and as long as the tracks are downloaded and backedup you'll have them as long as you maintain them. Keep in mind that iTunes Match is a service; you don't do anything "in" iTunes Match. It simply "is" in the background.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
D. If we associate our child's iTouch, will it still keep the parental controls in place so it won't play certain songs that are not appropriate f
Yes, parental controls should continue to work as they have. Although I do not use them, perhaps someone else with experience will weigh in.

Question About Sharing Apps Between My iPhone and My Wife's iPhone

Hi, I have a question about downloading apps to my iPhone.
I ordered two iPhone 3g's - one for my wife and one for me, and I've discovered that when I download an app (even free ones) on my iPhone and then later sync it to iTunes, my wife cannot put it on her phone. However if I download it on iTunes on my computer and later sync it to my phone, then my wife is able to sync it to her phone as well. It's no big deal when they are free because she can just go get it if she wants it. I haven't purchased any apps yet, but is there a way to be able to give my wife apps that I purchase on my iPhone? Or do I need to purchase all of my [pay] apps and songs on iTunes on my computer to ensure we both have access? Or do I have it all wrong completely LOL?? This rights management stuff is confusing.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jimmy

I had my iTunes account and phone before I got my wife's hers. When I first started, I synced hers from her account on my computer brought in my libraries and authorized her phone as one of the 5 allowed. She had all purchased apps and music. Over time we each bought music or apps on our seperate accouts. Of course, we told each other about cool apps or music we bought and wanted on our phone. When I went to sync iTunes was going to delete all music and apps and sync with the library I was logged into. Didn't want that, only work around I have found is to copy new music or new apps from one library to the other. Updating on the phone is also difficult because you can't switch between accounts so updates have to be done at the computer for apps bought under different accounts. I am sure there is a better way to do this and ask for an insight anyone would have. I hope it works out.

Two apple IDs or one when sharing info

My husband and I have been using one apple ID for both of our iPads. With family sharing, we are considering each having our own an apple ID. We are concerned however that the family sharing will not allow the actual information in our eWallet app to sync across all devices like it does now. Are we correct in our concern?

That actually is the whole point of family sharing. Up to six family members can each have their own AppleID (so their iCloud and iMessage accounts using those AppleIDs are private) but can share purchased material from effectively a single iTunes Store, App Store and iBook Store account.
However, third party apps do not use family sharing, only Apple's stores and tools. So your eWallet app is a problem. Without knowing the app, my guess is that the eWallet app is sync'ing content via iCloud, since with a single AppleID you both are using the exact same iCloud and iMessage accounts.
You can still create new AppleIDs for family sharing of Apple stores purchased content, but keep using the existing AppleID for iCloud. If you want, you can also have another AppleID for private iMessage accounts. You can have as many AppleIDs as you wish, although each one needs a unique email address to create. And you can use a different AppleID with each separate Apple service (purchased content, iCloud, iMessage, these forums,...).
- so - current AppleID for iCloud so you can not only sync the eWallet app, but other 3rd party app content, or notes, documents and so forth. The only downside to this is you have to share one iCloud email account, but presumably that hasn't been a problem thus far anyway.
- iTunes, App and iBook store - one of you at least creates a new AppleID and sets that up under family sharing
- if you wish, use that or another AppleID for iMessage so you each have a private messaging account.

Two apple accounts on one computer sharing the library

My boyfriend and I currently share one apple id account. So we have one itunes library. However we constantly run into issues with syncing his phone. For example- last night he ended up with ALL of my phone contacts on his phone in addition to his own. and in the past it has tried to give him ALL of my apps even though they were not checked off and i have the controls set to "manually manage" Would creating a second apple id on my computer for him help this issue? if so- is there a way to duplicate all of the music on the existing account into his new account?

The same thing happened to me when I lent a friend my laptop. When she finally added her itunes account, it only downloaded her apps. She makes sure that when she is done with itunes, she logs off so she doesn't get my apps.
Hope it helps.

HT204053 two Apple IDs which one to use for imessage on iphone

I have an apple ID for Itunes that my family shares and a separate on for my icloud. Which ID do I use for imesage and facetime on iphone and ipad

The answer to this question: "Will link aggregation can be done on ce interface using dladm?"
is No. if you want to aggregate ce interfaces you have to use Sun Trunking. If you want to do dladm a.k.a. native link aggregation, you need a GLDv3 interface such as e1000g, bge, xge (per the IP services guide)
IPMP active active gives you a primitive outbound load spreading, I say primitive b/c there are no configurable options.
With link aggregation/Sun Trunking, you can chose among particular policies (L2, L3, L4) that allow you some control over the outbound traffic spread (and only outbound can be controlled. Inbound is controlled by the link partner). dladm(1M) options section explains these policies, what they mean and how to use them. But of course you would need a GLDv3 interface first.

Workflow for Sharing Library between Desktop Laptop and Server?

I am trying to figure out how to best accomplish the following. I believe that what I want is not supported by Aperture (by reading these forums). Until it is, what is the best workflow or workaround to do something like this?
Linux server stores raw files on samba share. Photos are placed on server straight from camera card.
G5 Desktop is main editing computer for Aperture, which imports from linux server via gig connection.
MacBook Pro will also be used to edit photos when I am off (the server) site and imports images from linux server when connected or from camera when off site.
One user, myself.
Right now I am using the G5 as my main computer, and pretty much not using my macbook to its full potential because I am worried about losing things in the workflow.

Feedback to Apple (under the Aperture menu when in Aperture) asking for one-user, two-computer support.
In the meantime, a Library on each Mac with Referenced Masters. Export Projects as needed from whichever of the two Macs you choose to use for a given set of images. Relocate Masters from the laptop to the server when connected.

Sharing apps between your iPhone and iMac

How do you share apps from your iPhone to your iMac?

If there is a Mac counterpart to an iPhone App you want, then yes you have to purchase them separately.

Im traveling to south América for a business , i would like to know if all my apps works over there.?

I'm traveling to south América for a bussines i would like to know if all my apps all ready purchase here , works over there . I hope somebody can help me

Yes, I am sure. Your apps will definitely work. However, you can't update them overseas. You might also be unable to buy in-app or in-game items. As far as the apps themselves, there is no way them should stop working. It's just like taking your music/videos/movies with you when you travel.

I am looking to make the switch from pc to mac and have been eyeing the MBP 13". I would like to know whether it is fine to add RAM and SSD myself? any compatibility or warranty problems? what brand/type of RAM and SSD is the best fit? thank you.

I'm possibly wrong here but I suspect opening a brand new MBP to add parts yourself will void the warranty. It is probably in the small print. I certainly would not risk it for an expensive Apple product.
Some (Windows) laptops have easy access to memory and disk slots that do not necessitate taking the complete back cover off. However, Apple does not make life easy for you.
However, if you are going for a 'used' machine it is probably worth a try.
Not possibly, definitely wrong, Ram and Hard Drive are considered user replaceable and will not void the warranty if changed.
