On my shared computer, can my sister and I share the same itunes library, just have different accounts to pay for music?

I am inquiring about the question, does someone have an answer, and if its possible, how do I do that?

Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

Can I stream and sync from the same itunes library to one AppleTV?

From what I can tell this is a bug.
A very Frustrating bug. When the take 2 update launched I was streaming movies via "shared movies" from my synched computer without any issues. However after a couple of recent iTunes updates all the "shared" menus stopped appearing and I can no longer stream anything from my main computer.
When I open up my macbook though everything streams fine, all the "shared" menus immediately appear.
Numerous restarts, factory resets and reinstalling the 2.0 software have done nothing to help this issue.
If anyone has any more light on the subject it'd be great to hear. Also I'm not sure which update broke it because I went about a month not using the apple tv.

My wife and I share the same email address but have different iphone numbers. Is there anyway we can both us "Find Friends" apps? When I try to enter her contact name it won't allow me to do this. Thanks.

make seperate appleID's if you wish to be frinds or if you wish to facetime video chat and if you wish to not recieve the samme imessage msg's unless you turn it off
you can still set both your iphones to use an email address even if both have different appleId's
the appleID is a handle not a link to an email address

How can my Spouse and I share the same Itunes Music on separate machines?

My Spouse is on a PC desktop and I am on a Macbook Pro. I have a large Itunes library on my Computer and he has a fair sized Library too. We listen to a lot of the same music and each have Ipods. It's crazy to buy the same music twice.... is there a way we can share our music and make playlists for our separate Ipods?

My sister and I use the same itunes library and account. My Ipod is registered to her. How do I register it to me? Please help., My sister and I use the same Itunes and Itunes account. My Ipod is registered to her. How do I register it to me? Please help.

I registered my sister Ipod on my laptop through itunes, and i registered mine on it also. So now it says both ipod touch's are registered to her. I do i change that so mine can be registered to only me.

What is saying that both are registered to her?

How can a family of 6 share the same itunes library?

My family has a major problem on our hands. We are new to ipods and itunes. We have 1 itunes account. My sons are too young to have their own accounts. They are too young for a credit card, and can't have a paypal account until they're 18. We want to keep our music separate from each others. How do we do this with only one library? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

One thing not mentioned is that if you decide on the multiple user approach, you can have your music folder in Shared Documents so you only store the tracks once.
Each user is free to choose which of those tracks they want in their library.
There is an Apple help article on multiple users.

How can multiple apple Id's share the same iTunes library?

We are now starting to venture into teenagers and ore-teens. I would like to create multiple ID's for messaging and contacts, but I still want to use the same library... Is that an option?

Yes they have different sign ins for iCloud, FaceTime, Messages and iTunes, you can all use the same ID to sign into iTunes but use different ones for the others.

Can my wife and i share the same itunes account on different iphones?

Hello everyone,
My wife has had an iTunes account, Iphone, and Ipod for a while. I just bought an Iphone and Ipod and would like to utilize her music library without messing up her phone or itunes account. We'd like to maintain separate apps and stuff on our devices...so when I download music and apps, she doesn't want that showing up on her phone when she pairs it to her itunes account. Can this be done?
I have heard that I need to create my own Apple ID, which I have...so I can download my own apps...but will I have access to her itunes music if I do that?
Thanks!

Fingers crossed the following document might be of some assistance:

Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
Note: The essence of the above was created by user, randers4. I
have made substantial changes to improve readability and syntax.

Can 2 different computer accounts share the same Itunes library?

Does anyone know: Is it possible for two users on the same computer to "SHARE" the same iTunes Library so you don't have to duplicate libraries on the hard disk?
So far I have been having to load 25GB of Music on my wife's account and the same 25GB itunes library on my account.
I have put the single iTunes files in the "PUBLIC" music folder and set that as the default on the ITUNES "Preferences" but still does not work for some reason.
Thanks

Yes sir, did that but it still has the same problem.
Now when I go to my wife's account (everything identical , playlists, etc. in both accounts) it does not know where to locate the songs. I place it in the default and it works, but as soon as I go back to the other persons account, the default has automatically changed back, and none of the playlists (although still intact) have again lost the location of the actual music (located on in the Public Music folder) very frustrating.
It would seem to be simple.

Hi tomgoggs,
iTunes purchases do not count against your iCloud memory space. See this article for what iCloud is used to store -
iCloud: iCloud storage plan overview
If you are having an issue with iCloud memory being full, you may want to use the steps in this article to help -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Is it possible to sync AND stream from the same iTunes library?

Hi,
I am having trouble in setting up sync AND stream from the same iTunes library.
Config :
Mac OS - Latest update 5/6/09
iTunes - Latest update 5/6/09
Apple TV - Latest update 5/6/09
I am able to either sync OR Stream from my iTunes library but not sync AND stream from the same iTunes library
Let's say i want to sync :
Go to Apple TV > Settings > computer
Add Library (Not shared for Syncing)
Enter passcode in iTunes and select the items to sync
After sync is complete
You can see photo, music & video in My Photos, My Music & My Videos.
Let's say now my Apple TV is full
So like to stream some other content
Now
Go to Apple TV > Settings > computer
Add SHARED Library
Passcode is shown in apple TV but not able to Enter it in iTunes (click to set link is not there next to Apple TV item under devices)
To get that you have to right click the apple tv from the devices and select don't sync.
You will get a message saying that all content in apple TV will get deleted.
If you say yes then only the passcode screen for streaming is presented.
So i am not able to sync AND stream from the same iTunes library.
Any idea?

1. The checkbox for "show only synced content" should be unchecked
yes
2. No need to Add Shared Library
correct
3. After syncing is complete as per the steps said before, if i have to see a synced content i go to My Movies for streamed content i have to go to Shared Movies?
no... both synced and streamed content show up all together. there is no way to tell what content is synced or streamed when looking at it on the appletv. it is seemless as in there is no difference in how it is presented.
you also need to make sure you are using "custom sync" rather than "automatic sync", as you can't select the "show only synced content" box when using "automatic sync".

How do i make icloud work if my husband and I share the same itunes account but we dont want to get each others contacts, messages, apps etc?

Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

HT1719 Can more than one device access the same ITunes library?

Can more than one device acess the same ITunes library? And if so, does each device's list of songs remain separate and distinct for each device?

No problems whatsoever. I have 3 iPhones and 3 iPod touches with different IOS connected.
