Library sharing not enough for two iPhones

My wife and I have our own computers (hers a Macbook Pro, mine a Mini), and we're sharing iTunes libraries, which works fine. However, we also each have our own iPhones (both version 5), registered to our own computers, and we cannot get any of the music from my library into her iPhone. Is this possible? Do we need to have every song she wants on her phone, to be in her laptop's library? I'm stuck!
iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.2
Macbook Pro and Mac Mini, both running 10.10.1

You don't say what you are trying or how you are sharing.  There's all kinds of ways to share music in a family, from Home Sharing to Family Sharing.
iTunes: How to share music and video - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688 - about Music Sharing and Home Sharing
Home Sharing Support page - http://www.apple.com/support/homesharing/
iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620
Understanding Home Sharing - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819
Family Sharing - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT201060 - "Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six people in your family to share each other’s iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases without sharing accounts. Pay for family purchases with the same credit card and approve kids’ spending right from a parent’s device. And share photos, a family calendar, and more to help keep everyone connected."
Since you don't provide details about your sharing it is hard to provide suggestions.  If you are simply syncing media you may find you have to put all the files she needs physically on her computer.

    HI
    I was trying to take my Mac air to factory default settings.
    I've done all that it says in the documment i was following, and them during the process it asked me the APPLE ID.
    I put the apple id i have in my iphone. But it's not the one... it's said that i don't have any OSX associated with it... so it can not install the OSX.
    So what can i do?

  • How can i set a song from my music library to a ringtone for my iphone 4s

    The procedure is the following:-
    *right click the song on itunes and click get info.
    *under the option, check in the start time and end time- This is the exactly which part of the song you want to make your ringtone.
    *Click Ok.
    * Again right click in the same song and click the CREATE AAC VERSION
    * Now you can see the same two song. if you have made the short length in step 2, lenght will be different.and this will be in (.m4a) format. and if you dont see on itunes you can search the name on finder. you will find both files.
    * Now you try to change the format (.m4a)  to (.m4r), you just delete a and add r and press enter bottom. and conform it.
    *Now you add this files to the ringtone/tones on itunes which is located on the left side bar of itunes.
    *make sure under the preference of your itunes under the general the tones section is checked in.
    *go to your device on itunes. Under the tones check in sync tones. You can Sync all tones or the particular tones which you want.
    *Now this tone is on your iphone. You can change your ringtone through setting>sound>ringtone and choose the particular one.

  • I have a 16GB 3GS phone. For the last few days, my phone is constantly giving me message that the accessory attached to my phone is not optimized for this iphone. You may experience noise or poor communication, while there is no acessory attached to it.

    I have a 16GB 3GS phone since about20 months now. For the last few days, my phone is constantly giving me message that the accessory attached to my phone is not optimized for this iphone. You may experience noise or poor communication, while there is no acessory attached to it. I always used standard headphones and charging cable. Now when i recall, it started at one of the sync sessions with my itunes. I have turned my phone off and aon again and again but the message keeps coming every one or two minutes.I have also started loosing voicce on different applications like youtube etc. Also the ringer volume up and down key does not show me the small boxes increasing or decreasing on screen. The phone is playing crazy. Can someone help please
    Thanks
    Zia

    It helped earlier but it has come back again. I don't know what to do. I tried what you said earlier but this time even this is not working either. And quite intrestingly my phone won't turn off. I turn it off, it goes off and then restarts on its own and then keep giving the same message again and again.
    Could it be a charging cable, is there any chance that the cable which was working fine one day could turn to be "incompatible" with iphone the other day????????
    Please help

  • How do I create different contacts lists for two iphone/users?

    How do I create different contacts lists for two iphone/users?

    Sorry. This doesn't make a lot of sense. Each iPhone user should have their own cloud accounts with which to sync contacts.
    The iPhone is not a multi-user device.

  • I keep getting an error message that reads: Not enough storage This iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage available. What does this mean? How do I fix it?

    I keep getting an error message that reads: Not enough storage This iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage available. What does this mean? How do I fix it?

    Try doing a hard reset:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    After that: go to Settings - iCloud - Storage and backup - turn off the iCloud backup
    and backup with iTunes from now on
    More info on backing up: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Or, if you prefer to keep backing up with iCloud, check out this article, it will help you understand how to manage the iCloud storage:

    i have a i phone 5 that we are getting a message not enough storage this Iphone cannot be backed up beacause there is not enough Icloud storage available.  But we cannot go to settings or close out the message . i cannot power off the phone or anthing. How do i clear this off the phone.

    First, press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon appears.
    The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud.  Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
    Also check:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well.  Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
    A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

  • I am planning buy an individual package of adobe creative cloud. my question is whether single license in enough for two of my system?

    I am planning buy an individual package of adobe creative cloud. my question is whether single license in enough for two of my system?

    Hi Elbethel and John,
    A ccording to New End User License Agreement, You can install any Adobe License be it CC or CS6, on two machines.
    Which means your CC can be active on two machine at a time, but you can not use both machine at the same time.
    I hope it helps.
    P.S. when using the adobe forums, please mark helpful/correct responses of Staff or helper, if there are any.

  • Can you have two separate icloud accounts for two iphones that sync with the same imac?

    can you have two separate icloud accounts for two iphones that sync with the same imac?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes and no.
    There is no issues at all if you use two user accounts on the mac, each can sync with one of the accounts.
    If you are using a single user account, you can add the second account as a secondary account in settings > mail, contacts and calendars and you can then sync mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders from the second account, but not documents and data, back to my mac or photostream.
