on your imac can you share documents between accounts? If I work on a Pages document can another account see that document and ber able to work on it?

If you want to copy the file between users you can use the Public folder in your home directories. If you put something in the Public folder other users can see it and copy it out if they want to send something to you they can copy it into your Public/Drop Box folder.
If you both want to be able to work on the same document you could use the /Users/Shared folder which is read/write for all users.

Can you share apps between accounts when using the same PC

My wife and I have always shared my account. made it easy to purchase and share. Howeever, with iCloud etc its becoming increasingly obvious that seperate accounts might be needed.
Can you share apps you purchase through differnt accounts when your using the same computer?
I now you can with music.

Yes.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
You can figure out using it with another machine from that too

Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer? My kids iPods are under my account now with all of our shared music but they want their own iTunes accounts. I would like to transfer the music and apps that they purchased under my account to their new accounts... Is this posible?

This really isnt good. there isnt even a .tmp file on my pc.
Did you enable the display of system files and hidden files and folders?
by the way, how can i stop this from happening another time.
Make a backup!
i had music there for over 6 years.
Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.

Can you share music between 2 Apple ID's on the same network?

Can you share music between 2 Apple ID's on the same network?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can share content between 2 libraries that have different ID's for the iTunes Store, yes.
You need to make sure that both libraries are using the same ID for home sharing though (from the File menu)

Can you Share Scenes between projects?

Can you Share Scenes between projects?
I would like to take already created scenes and share them
between files and projects so multiple people can use them as a
resource. Can it be done?

Scenes are just for authoring convenience, they basically
blank frames giving an end to one
and beginning to another timeline so you can't actually
define scene like you could a movie clip.
What you can do however is to Copy frames by unlocking all
the layers, highlighting all the frames
and CTRL ALT C than open new file and paste the frames CTRL
ALT V
That's the only way to share the scene.

It appears that I can not share documents between my iMacs and mac air without first opening document in an IOS device. Is this correct? If so then iCloud for me is a giant step backward especially since idisk will be discontinued next year.

It appears that I cannot share documents between my iMacs and and Mac air using icloud without first opening document in and IOS device. Is this true. If so, then icould is petty much worthless for me, especially since idisk will be discontinued next year.

iwork on iOS uses different file formats ( *.tef ) then iwork09 on Mac ( *.key , *. number , *.page ).
Uploaded documents to icloud.com must first be updated to the *.tef format and then re-written to the cloud system. The online service behind the iwork web-app does the re-conversion to Mac formats, pdf or Microsoft office. All that is happening "in the cloud", not on your Mac as he misses the engine to do the transcoding from the *.tef to the other formats. Mac simply does not know what *.tef is.

Silly question, but can you share apps between family members (iPhone)?

My wife has just purchased an iPhone awaiting del.
Question
can you share your apps or not?

I would think not as I cannot seem to find anything to suggest it.
But thought i would ask the community.
and is there away around it??????????
thanks again

EDIT: It seems Apple have changed the AppStore Terms and Conditions since I last read them thoroughly.
Here's the relevant sections:
If you are an individual acting in your personal capacity, you may download and sync an App Store Product for personal, noncommercial use on any iOS Device you own or control.
You may auto-download iTunes Auto-Delivery Content or download previously-purchased iTunes Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers.
(ii) An Associated Device can be associated with only one Account at any given time.
(iii) You may switch an Associated Device to a different Account only once every 90 days.
(iv) You may download previously-purchased free content onto an unlimited number of devices while it is free on the iTunes Service, but on no more than 5 iTunes-authorized computers.

Can you share music between itunes accounts

I just currently purchased an Ipad for my daughter to use at school. I need to set her up for her own account, but in doing so she will lose all of her music when she syncs her ipod up to that account as well. Is there a way for me to have her Ipod sync or download the music from the cloud and then have both her ipod and ipad on her own itunes account?

An iTunes library can hold media from multiple accounts. iPods and iPod devices are limited to protected content from up to five different accounts. Apps and movies are generally protected, most music won't be unless it was purchased quite some time ago. Ideally I'd suggest you make a clone of your library for your daughter to take with her, then see can keep what she wants, discard what she doesn't and start using her own account here on out.
In the event that she is using the device independenly of an iTunes library see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Can you share music between computers and seperate ipods?

I would like to know if I could share my itunes with someone on a different computer and with a seperate ipod. Me and my sister (who's in college) would like to continue sharing music because we usually split the cost of cds.
My main question is: Is it possible to share one itunes account with multiple ipods that can be accessed from any computer?
What we would like to do is continue sharing music without having to wait until both of our ipods are in the same location and using the same computer. It would be nice if I could get into the same account as her and when she adds music I also receive the music and when I add music she gets it as well.
This may be an impossible request but I have been searching the forums for hours trying to figure it out. If someone could please respond, even if it's not possible, that would be VERY helpful.
Thanks.

What you want is not supported with iTunes. You can both use the same account on different computers but what one downloads or adds will not be available to the other. If you are separated by location then CDs or DVDs recorded as data files are the best option. Record the files to disk then mail the disk. As long as you are both authorized to the same iTunes account I don't know of any issue with that.

Can you share music between two iPods?

my sister just got an iPod, and she wants some of my songs from my iPod without bying them online... both accounts are on the same computer, and i was wondering if it's possible to kind of copy and paste my music to her ipod with out deleting them from my account... if it is possible, can you please reply and tell me how to do this? thanks

Connect your iPod to your computer. 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. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
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 also 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 Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
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.
