My wife and I want to consolidate our music libraries on our travel laptop.
It would also be nice to have all music on a dedicated drive. Is this possible?
Thanks. M&K
No it is not possible. Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

My wife and I share a computer for our itunes accounts. How can we copy our music libraries to each others accounts without erasing the original library? We want to merge our songs.
If the music is on the same computer, import the songs to your iTunes library by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows). If the music is on different computers you can set up Home Sharing to copy the music from one library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620).

My wife and I want to swap her iphone 4s for my iphone 4 while I take a short trip out of the country. We use the same itunes account but have different email accounts. Can we just change our phone numbers with our carrier and change email addresses on our phones so we get correct messages, with out disturbing our other apps?
The email is simple. Just delete her email acoount on her iPhone and configure your account into the phone and then do the same for her on your phone.
The harder issue is that to switch the cellular phone service you will need to switch the SIM cards and the two phones do not use the same size SIM card. -
My wife and I want to use different credit cards to pay for personal purchased will being part of a family share.. How is that possible?
Ricki46,
Thank you for allowing me to clarify. As it says in that article:
"When you initiate a new purchase, it will be billed directly to the family organizer's account, unless you have gift or store credit."
These are the only current billing options in Family Sharing. Using a second credit card is not currently an option.
If you need further clarification, you can use one of the other support options here: https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action

My wife and I have separate have separate user accounts on our IMac. We have separate Apple IDs for iTunes. How can we use iCloud on our separate iPhones without sharing contacts, calendars, etc.
If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account. -

Hello there MizzouTrojan,
If I understand correctly you want all 6 devices to have access to a single calendar that each device gets notifications for and can edit. You can do that with an private iCloud shared calendar. First sign into www.icloud.com and use these steps from the following article to share a calendar:
iCloud: Share a calendar with others
Share a calendar privately
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
Note: You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.”
Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only).
For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

You do not need to ask the same question twice. Stick with the first post that you started here.

My wife and I have different taste in music and I have been using her apple account to buy all my music. Well needless to say we are filling up our ipads, ipods, and iphones with each others music. I just got a new computer for my birthday (thanks to my wife who is sick of me using hers) and would like to keep all of the music I purchased on my new account. I am still using her for this question:) Can this be done? I have spent a lot of money on this music and don't want to lose it all. Please help:(
What does "what was already downloaded to my wife's computer " refer to? If its music that's been bought as digital downloads (e.g., from the iTunes store) then the issue I referred to earlier applies (plus, in the case of iTunes purchase, it may not be playable if you're using a different Apple ID in iTunes). The approach of copying content from your wife's computer to yours is valid if it is the result of importing your music from your CDs into iTunes.

My husband and I share a new PC. We have different music tastes and each have an iphone. How can we both use our one computer and one itunes program with separate music libraries and separate iphones?
Each device only syncs waht you select.
Select only what you want for each phone. -

I am trying to update my iPod touch and I want to sync my music, but it keeps saying that if I update then it will erase my current media and sync with my new one which has no songs in it, please help
Follow these instructions. When you restore the iPod as the articles say the iPod will also be updated.
