Married. Now how can I combine my library with my wife's?

Just got married. My wife and I have quite a few songs on our individual computers. How can we combine our libraries, you know, what's mine is yours, what's yours is mine?

Hey!
Do you have the music files on your computer? If not heres what I would suggest doing first...
1. open "My Music"
2. Make a new folder
3. Name it after your wife.
4. bring all her music in that folder.
5. import that whole folder into your itunes.
That should do you. This is allittle vague, but im gonna guess you can do this much. Reply if you need more help.

Yes, windows to Mac too.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

How can I combine one font with many styles to show up as one font

How can I combine one font with many styles to show up as one font? I have quite a few fonts, that instead of showing up as a single font with different font styles (bold, bolditalic, semibold, light....) each style shows up in the fonts dropdown menu as a separate font. Any way I can fix this?
Another font question, is there any way to group my fonts in the dropdown menu according to different categories such as 'favorite san serif fonts', or 'script fonts'?

So your saying if it wasn't set up that way be the font creator there is nothing I can do. That's a shame.
Most of the fonts that do this were free fonts, such as Walkway.
But I do have some fonts (hebrew fonts) that I purchased that do the same thing.

How can I combine several Library Bundles?

I updated my Projects and Events in 3 stages with the (unexpected by me) result that I now have 3 separate Libraries on my WD 2TB drive (see screenshot).
I would like to consolidate/combine them into the original "WD 2TB's projects and events" Library but can't find any way of doing it.

afai understand the concept, you don't/can not combine Libraries, but its contents.
So, when the process of updating your yet material lead to three libs, you can only drag the CONTENT of lib2 + 3 into lib1. Content is Events and Projects and perhaps single files.
After doing so, lib2 and 3 get obsolete. And could be erased.
… what I can not answer: How can you be sure, the REAL content was moved, and not just hard-links?
… in Finder, those hard-links/symLinks look&feel the same as the real file...
Perhaps, you should do a backup first, try it with one Lib first, erase it, and look, what happens.
You're my guinea pig! I haven't updated my Libs yet… and I do have some 'smart' scheme: Each Event is one game-day = simple. Each Project shows this game-day = simple. BUT each Project uses material from some 'generic Event' = should be simple too. And I'm using e.g. 'graphics' outside FinalCut, in my 'Pictures' folder. AND I do have some Events containing the real files, and I do have Events containing just links to some sources (=back-up copies of media) on other drives... having here 4TB of data makes it a bit 'unrealistic' to work with back-ups… keeping in mind I want to update before end of 2014 ....
In theory, the actual Lib/Events/Project scheme exactly hits my personal needs. But will the update 'understand' my manual scheme, I did establish the last 2years........ ?
My plan is: a Lib per season/One Event per game, containing material from 3-6 cams/ 1 game = 1 project. And one Lib containing 'shared' media in use for all game-reports …
fingers crossed...
… and what will happen, when 'our Doc' from India discovers this new scheme?
Cupertino should use him and his arrays-of-drive-clones as 'worst case scenario' ...
if FCPX manages to handle that, it handles everything!
(no offense meant, somana!)

My ipod nana library is on a computer we no longer have connected to internet. When I plug my ipod into my wife's computer i only see her library. How can I access my library using my wife's computer?

never mind. New Itunes seemed to have solved issue.

How do I share my Library with my Wife?

Another obvious question, but for the life of me I cannot see how to share my complete library.
I am not talking about selecting photos to publish between family members ... I would use fakebook or other social media for that ... this is simply how do we have all of our photos tagged and together in a single place, regardless of who takes them, and with which device? It should be easy ... I just presume that I am having a really dense day.
Should this be posted in the iCloud section? All that talks about is social media and 5000 photo limits.
Alternately ... where are the photos in the new app? where is the database? Can I subscribe to dropbox and t=use their sync facilities?
Thanks.

You can use Photos and the iCloud Library feature. You just both log into the same Library.
That sounds good ... I thought (presumed) that if I use my iCloud drive for this then my wife would have to use my iCloud drive herself ... wold that not cause issues with calendars, reminders, mail etc. I cannot see a location in preferences where I can decide what iCloud ID to use for photos, and what to use for the remainder. If I could find that then it would be great. I could set up (and pay for) a large account that we could both use whilst remaining separate in all other contexts.
Do you know where that setting is?
Family sharing does not seem to over it.
Thanks.

How can I share an iBook with my wife?

I am planning a major purchase of English language reference books (dictionaries, grammars, usage guides). The prices are high and number of books I plan to buy is close to ten which adds up to a little bit less than $500.
All of them I certainly want to share with my wife who has her own iPad, Mac, and iPhone. However, we both want to keep our Apple IDs and iCloud accounts separate, and not to share emails, documents in iWorks etc.
Some postings on the Internet claim that this is possible using 'Home Sharing' feature in iTunes. I did enable 'Home Sharing' and it works for music and movies, but I cannot find how to share any of the existing contents from iBooks.
Is this what I am trying to do possible at all, and if it is, what would be the steps how to do it?

This is not exactly the same but may help

How can I share a calendar with my wife

I got a family mobileme account. We each have our own iPhone. I'd like anyway that allows me to:
1. Put in an appointment on my iPhone
2. That appointment pops up on her iPhone or iCal. I would love it if it popped up as a grayed "invitation" appointment.
How can this happen? I have a gmail account, a MS Exchange account through my work, and we both have mobileme accounts. Somehow, someway, in some place, this has to work, right?
I've been working on this setup for days. It's 3am. Somebody please answer.

This is funny you said that because I was just coming in here to say that I figured out a solution - only to see it was exactly what you put: Spanning Sync.
My wife and I even have two seperate google calendars and this all still works. Google calendar has the blessed ability to be able to fully share calendars. That means, I have a "Work" calendar, which is mine, and a "family" calendar, which I set up to allow my wife to fully use and change. That automatically puts that "Family" calendar in her list.
There can be some kinks to this, tho. If I put something in my iPhone, and I want her to see it in her iPhone, I need to make sure both our computers are on and running all the programs. Yesterday, our internet at our house went down while we were both working. The calendar item I added on mine hadn't shown up because there was a break in the chain-links of sync's.
*In Summary:*
1. Spanning Sync can help do the job.
2. If there's a break in the chain, your syncs won't go through.
3. Doing it this way costs either $120, or $50/year for Spanning Sync licenses.
4. The invitation system still won't go across the way exchange does.
4. It would be much better if Apple would do this in iCal/iPhone.
*What would I ask of Apple?* It would be great if:
1. Apple would allow calendar sharing the way google does.
2. Apple would allow iCal to fully sync with Google Calendar so we don't have to pay ($12020 for my wife and I) to use a 3rd party app to do it.

How can I sync iPhone calendar with my wife's iPhone?

How can I sync my iPhone calendar with my wife's iPhone calendar and vice versa? Along with my iPad and iMac?

One option is to share your iCloud calendars if all your devices are connected to iCloud and you are syncing your calendars with iCloud (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690). (You would need to be running OS X Lion on your iMac to sync with iCloud.)

How can I share my music with my wife's account?

My family has multiple accounts on various devices (IPods, IPad) that share one IMac. How can I share the music on my account with my wife's account? My music doesn't show up on her account and vice/versa.

I'm sorry to say, unless you're using apples pay service, that allows you to upload your own music, there is no way to do that. I'm assuming that the music you are talking about has not been purchased through them. If it has, then you can redownload it to any devices from within your app.
I personally dont think its fair that you can't import music from your own online sources, but apple isnt in the busness of giving us what we want, just what will make them money.
You could also look into some of the rare apps that have been allowed to slip through such as 8player or vlc. One of those might be able to pull from your own online source, but I cant say for sure, and its unlikely is will work very well. I personally have started using a third party cloud service to store backups of my music, that might be something to look into.

Laptop Stolen, now How can I get Ipod working with new computer/disable old

My laptop with my itunes was stolen. I still have my IPOD 30GB.....
I have a new computer, and I think I can download Itunes to it and hook up the ipod and it will be able to load ipod content to the new computer???
Also I am worried, what about the old computer, do i need to DeAuthorize it? How would I do that since I don't have it in my possession?
Thanks for any help!!!!

*what about the old computer, do i need to DeAuthorize it? How would I do that since I don't have it in my possession?*
You can't deauthorise a computer you no longer have access to on it's own. However once you reach the limit of 5 authorisations you have the option once a year to deauthorise them all in one go and start over: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
*I have a new computer, and I think I can download Itunes to it and hook up the ipod and it will be able to load ipod content to the new computer???*
If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Mac and Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

there is an example in Notepad++,where when 2 or more tabs are open,we can right-click the tab and choose the "go to another view" command.it's so good that we can check 2 files in two views.
so i wanna know how to implement this function in java?and is there any example i can study?
Thanks a lot!

I just upgraded to version 8, hoping for a solution.
I know that I can write an Advanced Action for every slide like this:
It changes my variables and then advances to the right slide. But, I'll have 100+ slides when I'm done and I was hoping that could make this a little easier. AND, I can't track it on the branching view.
I was hoping that I could make this work:
I could use an Advanced Action to change my variables (I would only need a few) and then have it jump to a slide. This would show up in the Branching view. But, I can't get that work.
Are there any other options?

How can i share my library with my new computer when the itunes on the new computer does not have the "look for shared libraries" command in the preferences/shared pane?

It worked fine before i updated the most recent update, My old computer readds the new one but the new one does not read the old one now.

Is the iTunes library actually shared on the old computer?
I have never had a need for forcing iTunes to look for shared libraries, it simply detects them.

How can I combine advanced actions with the branching view?

I am creating a branching scenario in Captivate 7. It's fairly involved and I'd like to keep track of it with the branching view. But, I understand that if I use an Advanced Action, it won't show up in the view. My slides track a conversation that goes down different routes based on the selected answers. I give the user 3 smart shapes that I'm using as a button. When they press the button, I want to change two variables and then jump to another slide. If I put this all into one advanced action, I have to write an advanced action for each button and it won't show the branches.
Is there a way to execute an action that will change my variables. Then, have it jump to a slide. I've been trying to give the user 1 attempt, execute my advanced action that will change the variables, and then have the Last Attempt jump to a slide, but that doesn't seem to work.
Any other ideas?
