Is there a way to share music, photos, ibooks, etc., between all the users on one mac without using the same apple ID on each?

There are 3 seperate users on my macbook used by 3 different people. I have had one apple id for awhile and have accumulated many songs, ibooks, and other things. The other 2 users just recently each made an apple id of their own. Is there a way to copy my music from the admin to their user's itunes?
The reason behind them making their own accounts is because they want their own icloud to sync to their iphone instead of absolutley ALL of our information being availabe to each other. If sharing the music and whatnot on our mac is not possible, are there any solutions to the bigger problem of our icloud?

How so? We bought it and it would all be on one computer.

  • Is there a way to move music I had on my iPhone 4 to my new macbook air, using iTunes it seems to want to synch to iTunes library where I don't have any music stored?

    Hello KM47,
    It soundsl ike you are needing to copy your iTunes purchases to your computer rather than sync it at this point. You can use the following article to transfer your purchases with the following article:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
    If you have your library stored on another computer, you can also copy the library to the new MacBook Air with this article:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

    Did the restore complete?
    If you backed up the phone to either computer or to the cloud you should be able to retrieve them. If the restore is done, try retrieving info from the iCloud. If the restore did not complete, when you do the restore, at the end you can restore from previous backup.

  • We have multiple users, each with multiple devices, on 1 apple id - as we want to share music and ibooks etc.  We want the children to have access to the store, but with a financial limit. How do we do this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    That's simply not possible I'm afraid. You'd need to give them their own account and allowance or make it so you are required to be there to input the password when they wish to make a purchase.

  • How do i share pictures with other users on my Mac without using iCloud or photo stream

    How do I share pictures woth other users on my Mac without using iCloud or photo streaming?

    Simplest way is probably to put copies into the Users/Shared folder.

  • I have imac, macbook, ipad2, 2 iphone 4s and I want to share music, iphoto and apps between all the devices but keep e-mail and contacts separate and use icloud. How can I do that?

    i have imac, macbook, ipad2, 2 iphone 4s and I want to share music, iphoto and apps between all the devices but keep e-mail and contacts separate and use icloud. How can I do that?

    The ID for iTunes must be the same on both devices for it to automatically download purchases made on the other phone.
    For example, if you have been using [email protected] for iTunes, continue to do so. One of you could also use [email protected] for their iCloud account and the other one use [email protected] for theirs, alternatively you could use [email protected] and [email protected] for the two separate iCloud accounts.

  • Is there any way to share music between two iPhones ?

    I want to share music between two iPhones with different apple IDs , isn't there any method to do that without itunes ?

    In general, the catalog that is open when you do Export As Catalog is where the settings are, and the catalog that is open when you do Import From Catalog is where the settings aren't, yet, but will be after the Import.  Your assumptions appear to be correct for your particular example.

  • Is there a way to get music onto my ipod from a CD that I lost after I put the songs onto iTunes, but then had to completely erase everyting on my computer?

    Yeah, so this is what happened. I had an old iPod nano, and then my computer crashed and deleted eveything. Then, I got a new iPod, and I want to put songs that I had on a CD that I already had on iTunes before my computer crashed onto my new iPod, but I lost the CD. Is there a way for me to find those songs??? Kinda impossible, but is there genius out there that can help me out? Thanks.

    The songs will only be where you put them.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Your music should be there.

  • Is there any way to get my photos and videos off a ipod touch 5th gen that went through the was and does not work anymore?

    My ipod touch 5th gen went through the wash the other day while it was on and it came out not working at all. I was wondering if there was a way to get any of my photos and videos off of it so i could put them on my computer. Anything will do, from do it yourself methods to companies that will do it for you.

    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore another iPod, iPad or iPhone from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
    Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting photos (only) from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - A data recovery company can likely get them off the iPod. Be prepared to pay alot. Google for iPhone data recovery

  • Is there another way to bring your existing bookmarks over to firefox loaded on a new PC without using sync? Something similar to how you do it in Thunderbird?

    Why do you need a sync key in the first place? XMarks works perfectly for bookmarks without one? Why not allow people to save and access their data with just a login name and a password. You logon from any device and sync your info to firefox on the new device? Maybe I am missing something but the sync application is worthless, get somebody to redesign it so it is simple and it works. Please provide some instructions also. People don't have time to write down a sync key as well as logon names and passwords. Another layer just complicates the issue. Please explain?
    Think data is saved from an existing PC and trying to load it into firefox on a new PC, sync key is incorrect and may have deleted data anyway because requested new sync key. How do I find out if the existing data from account is still on the sync servers?

    You ask many questions!
    To answer your subject line, yes, you can move bookmarks around three ways:
    (1) places.sqlite database file - contains your bookmarks AND history
    (2) JSON-format backup file from the bookmarkbackups folder in your currently active Firefox settings (AKA profile) folder
    (3) HTML-format export file generated from the Bookmarks Organizer (Library) dialog
    The first two are more complete. The third lacks certain information such as tags but can be imported into an existing installation of Firefox without wiping out the bookmarks that are already there.
    Articles with more info:
    * [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    * [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    * [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
    * [[Import Bookmarks from an HTML file]]
    With respect to your questions about Firefox Sync:
    Each sync account is separate. If you got the warning that selecting a new key would erase your data, and you did it anyway, then your data is gone. Even if your data is not gone, it would have been inaccessible without your recovery key.
    Sync is designed not to require your recovery key unless you end up with zero PCs connected to your sync account. As long as one PC is connected, you can generate a short code to join another PC to the account. (By PC I mean installation/profile of Firefox.)

  • Is there a way or an app that let me transfer files from or to my memory stick using the camera Kit?

    I'm looking for a technic idk something that can help me transfer files between an iDevice like iPad or iPhone and my memory stick !! I'm sure Apple will sell way more products adding this option to the devices. They can,like, dedicate a seperated disk space to unprotected files or sth.

    The camera connection kit can only be used to import photo/video files from a camera, SD card or USB flash drive. You can't import other types of files. You can't export any type of files using the camera connection kit.

  • Is there any way to share music from my itunes library with a iphone not synced with my mac?

    I use my itunes with my Iphone, But my husband has an iphone also and wants some music from my library to be put on his phone. How can i do this without transfrring his iphone to my itunes and visa versa?

    No. Ignore the above post as it is completely wrong, & the poster has no idea what he/she is talking about. By design, an iPhone will sync or manually manage iTunes content with ONE computer at a time. Any attempt to do so with a second computer will result in ALL iTunes content being first erased from your phone, to be replaced with the content from the second computer.

  • Is there any way to shared Lync SIP address space between two organizations for long term coexistence as in the email world?

    -EnabledSharedAddressSpace is this an option is this only for Lync hybrid in office 365

    Hi mombu,
    Sharing of sip domain is not possible in Lync.
    The DNS record for automatic sign in can only point to the Edge server of one Lync environment.
    If user who is from different environment tries to login to Lync externally using automatic sign in, they will be directed to the Edge mentioned in the DNS record and 
    will get a 404 error because Lync server does not recongnize the user and will not be able to login to Lync.
    Possible solution:
    Change sip address of the users of one Lync environment and configure federation between the two sip domains.
    Change will require change of sip address of users.
    Change of certificate for Edge and reverse proxy.
    Change of SRV records.
    Contacts needed to be removed and added with correct sip address.
    Meeting needs to be rescheduled .
    Central forest solution:
    Create a forest trust between the two forests.
    Use Lync server of one environment.
    Configure Lync for a central forest topology
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398173.aspx
    by creating contacts for each user from the other domain and enable the contact for Lync.
    All users will have the same sip domain and can login using their login credentials but will be hosted on the Lync server in one forest.
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • My iPod touch screen doesn't shut off. The auto lock is set for two mintues, and everything else is working fine. I've noticed it only fails to shut off when in the music screen. How do I get the screen to shut off without using the lock button?

    Please help. This is really annoying and it runs my battery down. My auto lock is set to two minutes. I've checked several times. Thanks.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
