Is there a way for two accounts on an iMac to share downloaded CDs?

We are new iMac users. I've downloaded many of our CDs to my iTunes account. Is there a way for my husband to play them from his account? Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Follow Apple's advice

Use Boot Camp Assistant in
Applications/Utility
Remove the partition.
There is also a full pdf help guide built in Help menu there.
There are other methods also. Use OS X DVD and delete it but you can't do so while booted from your hard drive.
Memory = "RAM" that programs use and get loaded into to run
Your partition is part of hard drive physical storage where OS and applications are kept until needed.
And yes, Mac needs to have 20GB or 20% minimum to avoid problems and will run slower with such small amount of free space.
You could also do one of a number of ways to backup and then boot from another device and reformat and then restore your drive.
A "Mac Pro" is a workstation with multiple internal drive bays so really easy to backup, put Windows on its own hard drive; and no need to have someone else do anything - at all.

Is there a way for me to "gift" or send an album download from my iTunes account to my daughter in another city?

This is not a law forum but technically I think your daughter is supposed to own her own copy, not a second copy of the track you bought. In that regard it would be best to use Apple's gifting service to give her the track.

Is there no way for two people to share one calendar?

I thought I saw something prior to the release of Leopard that this was going to be the case. I want to have one calendar that both my wife and I can view, add to, etc. But just one calendar. We currently each have our own "home" calendar, that we subscribe to each others, but it would be way better if we could just be accessing a single calendar. what gives?

What you read about prior to the release of Mac OS X 10.5 and iCal 3 requires one of these solutions:
• a .Mac account which supports multiple users
• iCal Server, a component of Mac OS X Server 10.5
• the Darwin Calendar Server, an open-source, Apple-supported equivalent
• another CalDAV server, typically found only in enterprise and higher education settings
• BusySync, a client-server mechanism for sharing calendars locally*
• or, SyncTogether, which extends such capabilities to remote clients and servers across the internet
*calendar sharing is limited to multiple users across a single machine or multiple users across several machines on a local area network
There is no Apple solution to the issue you raise—intended for individual or small group users—which is simple and cost effective to implement.

I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same family.

Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.

I recently gave my old iPhone to my nephew, he switched it to his phone account, but somehow I now have his contacts on my new iPhone 5. When I look at my iCloud account, it lists his contacts. Is there any way for me to get my contacts back?

I recently gave my old iPhone to my nephew, I did not clear out my old phone before I gave it to him, when he transferred to his account, he had my iCloud info on the phone, and it updated the contacts on my new iPhone 5 to his contacts. Is there any way for me to get my contacts back?

This is caused by using the same iCloud account on both phones. When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account. To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (i.e., deleting your nephew's data from your account, and vice versa).
As for recovering your lost contacts, if they aren't on icloud.com when you check from your computer, you will have to recover them from a backup source. You could try restoring to your last backup but this doesn't always work for contacts. (Chances are you nephew deleted your contacts from his phone, not realizing it would also delete them from yours.)

My iCloud on my phone is undJer another persons account I however am no longer with them and want to cut all ties and is there any way for me to change my iCloud account or will it affect my phone? And it's photos, apps, music?

My iCloud on my phone is under another persons account I however am no longer with them and want to cut all ties and is there any way for me to change my iCloud account or will it affect my phone? And it's photos, apps, music?

You have to delete the iCloud account but you can keep all your data such as Contacts, Calendars etc. when you delete the account you will prompted to "Keep on my iPhone".
All your purchased content (like apps and music from iTunes Store) belongs to the original ID and you have to re-Purchase them under your Apple ID.
Photos in Camera Roll remains in Camera Roll.
Photos in photo stream that are not in Camera Roll must be saved in Camera Roll.
Photo that previously synced from iTunes remains in photo library until you synced with another iTunes library (another computer).
Also sign out from iMessages, FaceTime and Home sharing (Settings>Music)

HT1311 My wife and I each have an Apple account, and we each have an iPad and iPhone. Is there any way for us to sync our calendars so that each of our appointments are on all devises?

My wife and I each have an Apple account, and we each have an iPad and iPhone. Is there any way for us to sync our calendars so that each of our appointments are on all devises?

This may not be exactly what you are looking for but my wife and I have a similar situation and all we do is invite each other to any calendar stuff we both need to know about. Another way you could do it is us a 3rd party calendaring that will duplicate all your entries on their server and your wife would do the same and setup a single account with that service that you both attach to your built in calendaring provided you give proper permissions. The one I would try is google calendaring which works well if you have a gmail account.

I've already paid 5 dollars to buy iMovie on my iPhone, and now I've got my macbook, I've synced my accounts and stuff, and it still wants me to pay 15 dollars to buy the app again? isn't there a way for me to get the app without paying for it again?

Ive already payed for iMovie on my phone, and it wants me to pay again for it on my macbook. Is there a way for me to get it without paying again?

The iOS and Mac versions of iMovie are in effect separate programs (coded completely differently for the two operating systems) and have to be purchased separately.

Not easily, no. The better solution would be to put a passcode on the phone.

HT204053 My wife and I just bought iPhone's, we use to share an account under one Apple ID, is there a way for one of us to share music without sharing the same Apple ID?

We use to have multiple iPods, now we both have iPhones. When she wants to FaceTime with relatives she has to use my Phone because that's where the Apple ID is "tied" to. Now if we want to FaceTime each other it gets weird.
We share similar taste in music so the music is not the problem.
I'd just like her to have her own Apple ID for FaceTime, apps, etc.
is this possible?

Sorry... Apple IDs cannot be merged...
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person

HT201209 My mom who lives in Canada send me an iTunes gift and I can't open it. I live in the USA. Is there a way for me to redeem that gift?

My mom who lives in Canada send me an iTunes gift and I can't open it. I live in the USA. Is there a way for me to redeem that gift?

No, all iTunes gifts and gift cards are country-specific - so a Canadian gift can only be redeemed in Canada onto a Canadian iTunes account.
I assume that it's an emailed gift ? She can try resending it to somebody else in Canada : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1541
Or, and if she's been charged, she can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit her : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Is there any way for me to get my music off of my iPod? I had to get a new computer and no longer have my files...but most are cds

Is there any way for me to get my music off of my iPod? I had to get a new computer and no longer have my files, most of it is cds...

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.
