Podcasts shared betwen accounts

I have my iTunes library stored on a shared folder of the hard drive. I have 2 accounts on my iMac that both access this library. Everything works great.
My question is podcasts. I have a group of them I subscribe to. My wife does not listen to these. When I go to my account and sync my iPod it marks the ones that I have listened to as read. If you go to my wifes account it does not. If I go to my account and manually delete a single podcast, then go to her account it does not reflect this. If you right click on it and then choose find in finder it can't and then puts an exclamation point next to it.
My question is how can I manage this? I would like to have both accounts show the same unread count. And reflect when a podcast was deleted. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks again Michael. It really seems pretty inflexible, not helped by Apple making it impossible to delete Apple IDs, which would have helped my issue below.
I have really gotten into a mess tonight with IDs and email accounts and not entirely my own doing.
My original Apple ID was based on an old ntlworld email address. When I closed that email account, I had to stick with that as my username for my Apple ID because all purchases in iTunes were made under that ID.
However, when I got an me.com email address, I thought it sensible to ceate an Apple ID using that as my username and primary email address, but soon realised that I couldn't access my old purchases that way. I bought something for 69p and nothing else under that ID so would love to be able to delete it. I can't.
Over Christmas I was trying to properly set-up my iCloud account, and couldn't understand why my me.com email address wouldn't verify with my original ntlworld Apple ID account - but of course I had associated my me.com email address with my me.com Apple ID, so it meant I couldn't use my only fully functional email address as my primary address for my original Apple ID, and because the me.com ID and primary email addresses are the same (as recommended by Apple) - I couldn't edit it either!
Got it sorted in the end by using a free webmail with my ISP, but really having to go through hoops, and I haven't even started on setting up my wife's dedicated laptop.

Can I move podcast from my account to other's?

can I move podcast from my account to other's?
i.e. may it have 2 owners?

You're talking about an episode you've downloaded in someone else's podcast, and moving it to another user account on your Mac? You could simply subscribe to the podcast in the other account and download it again, but if you want to save the download time just drag the episode(s) to the Desktop, then place them in the Users/shared folder, then open the other user account and drag them from there to iTunes.
If this isn't what you are trying to do please specify exactly what it is.

How do I create a new account for an iPod that is on an existing account? My brother and I have shared an account for five years, and now that I'm moving out, I want to create my own account but still want to be able to play the music I've purchased.

My brother and I have shared an account for five years, and now that I'm moving out, I want to create my own separate account but still want to be able to play the music I've purchased over five years.

In order to continue to play and sync the music you purchased with your old account, you'll need to authorize your new computer/iTunes library to do so. You can do this by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer and then entering in your old account credentials.
That's all you should need to. Then just create your own account and start purchasing and using it the same you have with the old one.

Migration Assistant (PC to Mac) and Shared iTunes Account

New Mac user here (other than iPhone), so be gentle.
So a couple of issues I need input on/help with, I'll try to keep it as short as possible. The short version is this...my wife and I both have iPhones which we've managed using a single iTunes account but separate libraries on our PC. With the addition of her MacBook Pro, looking for the best way to move forward that will allow her to manage her iPhone from her MacBook while I continue to manage mine with my PC without either of us losing access to currently shared purchases.
Now for the long version...When my wife and I first got iPhones 2 years ago, we kept a single shared iTunes account for ease of sharing music/apps...but have kept separate libraries. It seems to be increasingly difficult with new iOS updates and now an additional device (her new MacBook Pro) to maintain the libraries. For instance, Apps that one of us downloads that the other does not want automatically show up in the other's library or on their device. We have also had some some confusion with having multiple phone numbers linked to the one account. But I can't help think that we're too far down this path to go to separate accounts. If she got her own account would that not mean her losing access to any paid music/apps that we currently share? Then of course there's the issue of sharing future purchases. I'm clueless as how to handle this.
The other issue is migrating iTunes music/apps over to her new MacBook Pro from our PC. I went ahead and did this last night...but what I didn't realize is because the two computers had different usernames...her MacBook created a new username for the files so the only way to access the migrated music is for her to login as a different user. Is there anyway to easily fix this? I'm also concerned because of the shared iTunes account and multiple libraries, that even when I get the migration sorted out there will be issues with where her new Mac is looking for files. On our PC, the directory structure has become a bit convoluted...with the shared music/Apps spread out in multiple folders...
\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (contains my library and all purchases)
\My Documents\My Music\Her iPhone\ (contains her library and all purchases)
Not to mention the fact that when I migrated over, I migrated over everything...including all the music/apps that are not in her library.
Keep in mind I'm moderately PC literate...but completely Mac illiterate. Any and all help/input appreciated...thanks!

Open the Users folder on the internal drive, locate the migrated folder, drag it to the desktop, and provide your administrator password.

From Shared itunes account to ios 8 Family Sharing

In my family everyone has his/her own icloud account for sync and backup and we all use a common i tunes account so we can use one credit card and share bought apps music etc..
Now that ios8 will come, with family sharing, how will this work?
if i set the shared itunes account as the main account, i'll "loose" one of the family members (me) as i have a separate icloud account. i don't want that. is the solution to move my icloud account to the former shared itunes account?
also, will ios 7 users (i.e. with iphone 4) be able to be included in the new family sharing?

As far as I know this is the only info that Apple have so far released about Family Sharing : http://www.apple.com/ios/ios8/family-sharing/
It's not clear to me from that page how you will be set up e.g. whether in your case you could set up the shared iTunes account as the 'organiser' account and then use that to invite each of your own cloud accounts into it. It may be a case of waiting until further details are released later this year.
I'm assuming that a device will have to be on iOS 8 to benefit from it - the bottom of that page includes :
Some features require iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. Some features require a Wi‑Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices.

HT4859 I shared itunes account with my daughter, had never synced my phone with computer, synced with computer and chose daughter's phone instead of create new phone, all phone contacts are now gone replaced with daughter's - is there no way to get contac

I shared itunes account with daughter's phone, never synced my phone with home computer through itunes, synced tonight with itunes but choose her iphone and it restored all her info on my phone, all my phone contacts, text messages and photos are gone - I had auto backup to icloud daily - is there any way to get phone numbers and texts back off icloud?

If you have been backing up to iCloud your camera roll photos, text messages and other data and setting should be contained in the backup. Restoring the backup to the phone should recover them.
To do this, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

Family sharing itunes account

Family of 5 sharing itunes account can each have an individual icould account?

Yes, in fact it's recommended that you do. you can create separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs and still share the same iTunes ID (the IDs do not have to be the same). You should also use separate IDs for iMessage and FaceTime to avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls. Using your individual iCloud IDs for iMessage and FaceTime will accomplish this.

Should I switch from shared iCloud account with wife to two separate accounts with family sharing?

My wife and I have always shared 1 iCloud accpunt between our our 5s phones, iPad, and an old 4s which is now just a toy for our toddler. With ios 8 I am not sure if it is possible or practical any more. We do it to share purchases and the photo stream and a Google calendar.
With ios 8, it seems to be impossible for both of our phones to share their location. From what I can tell, only 1 device at a time on the icloud account can share its location. Is that a correct assumption? And icloud no longer gives the option for each of us to sign into separate itunes accounts on find my friends. We are forced to sign in with our 1 shared iCloud account. So we can no longer use find my friends to see each other's location.
So has ios8 rending sharing an iCloud account useless? I'm wondering if we now need to have separate accounts and link them with family sharing. Will we lose the benefits of having our 1 shared account? I just wanted to make sure we wouldn't lose anything if I set her up with a new account and linked it with family sharing.

I have lots of questions about this and other things too; I have been sharing my account with my wife and daughter for years through 10s of iPhones and iPads and with the introduction of IOS8 we are having lots of new and not so fun problems.
As to your question about location. I have three iPhones and one iPad using the same account now (on IOS 8) and all four devices show up with Find my iPhone. My wife's was not showing up today but I went in and turned on the new feature "Send last Location" and all of a sudden her phone was able to be found again. Not sure if that will solve your problem but just wanted you to know that I have the four devices all showing up in Find my iPhone with a shared account.

I had a shared mobileme account for my work calendar- 4 people sharing call using one set of calendars. It is on my mac but not on my iphone anymore...just 3 of my calendars went to icloud. Any idea how to get the calendars from a "family" mobileme?

I had a group account on mobileme...a family pack that each of us at work had an individual account and we all shared one account in the family. It kept our work calendar- a schedule telling who is in the office and who is on call. This is still on my macBook but not on my phone or my iPad. Any idea how I make my phone show the calendars on my MacBook? It was there before I went to iCloud.

If your email account offers a webmail access, I suggest checking the webmail - log in to your account using the webmail access, and I predict you will see all those "unread" emails there and can dispose of them from there.
This happens because the iPhone that went bad, when reading those emails, did not remove them from your email provider's servier.

How do i move only my library from a shared itunes account to my new account

How do i transfer only my library from a shared itunes account to my new account

I am confused by terminology, not knowing what you mean by "iTunes account". You have a computer account which is your user area on a computer. You have an Apple ID that you use to buy items from the iTunes Store. You have a media collection which is an iTunes library. So what is your "iTunes account" and what exactly do you want to do?

How can I remove safari data from shared iCloud account?

Before iOS 8 and family sharing I was using a single iCloud account shared among several Apple devices in my household. Now that we are all using our own separate Apple Accounts I want to delete shared data from other devices that were using my iCloud account. For example, my wife and I both have data synched with iCloud (the same account) for Safari. Now that her phone has been switched over to her own AppleID, I want to purge the data stored in my icloud account from her device. When I open Safari on my phone, I can see a list at the bottom of tabs that my wife had open on her phone at one time in the past. That list will never get updated now that she is using her own account. So how do I purge old data from other devices off my iCloud account?

If she's on a different account now, Safari data from the previous account should no longer be on her device. iCloud tabs, on the other hand, will persist from a device that is no longer sharing the account for 14 days, after which they are automatically cleared. (This is coming from iCloud, not from her device.) You might try waiting a couple of weeks and see if they aren't automatically removed.
If you're still concerned, you could always ask her to go to Settings>Safari and tap Clear History and Website Data. This won't clear her iCloud tabs from your device though; you'll have to wait for that.

How do I not sync notes with my email? I have a business email on my iphone as well as my husbands iphone. Now all of my notes are on his phone, and all of his notes he previously has on his iphone are gone. We have never adjusted any settings or hooked it up to itunes, I only added the shared email account to his phone. Help???

Hi StoneLeadyFarms,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like notes on your devices may have synced when the email account was added, as described here:
iOS: Syncing Notes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4191
Notes are associated with an IMAP email account or iCloud account. To sync Notes, enable Notes for each account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud.
You can stop syncing notes by tapping Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud, tapping the email address that you added, and switching Notes to the off position.
Additionally, if your husband has backed up his iPhone to iTunes or iCloud, the steps in this article can help with recovering the lost notes from his device:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

File sharing with accounts

I currently have my TC configured for file sharing with a disk password. Lately, however, I find that I have a need to be able to restrict read/write access to certain folders and files based on the user. But, when I select File Sharing "With Accounts" from the drop down I get a warning message stating "Setting up user accounts will make any files already on AirPort disks inaccessible." Seems like a pretty vague warning considering the possible outcome!
Does this mean I will lose access to all existing files already on the TC disk permanently, or just until I configure the accounts with access?
Thanks for any insight.

Is the file sharing the same between the TC and the AirPort Extreme 802.11n (Gigabit Ethernet) with a USB2 connected disk?
My experience is that the network share of the shared disk is different, but no files get lost. One can move between the security mechanisms without losing data. YMMV.
Here are my findings in detail: I was using the shared disk "With a Disk Password". When connecting from a Mac, a single share called like the partition of the disk would automatically mount. On that disk I put some folders "Music" and "Videos" directly in the root of the mounted share. The same volume also had a backup copy of my Mac mini, that I did when it was still locally connected (USB2 directly to the mini) rather than via Disk sharing. From that time there is still a "Users" folders there. One important folder is called "Shared". All folders and their files are accessible.
"Volumename" (share)
- Music
- Photos
- Videos
- Shared
- Users
When I changed from "With a disk password" to "With accounts", I also get the warning about "...will make any files already on AirPort disks inaccessible".
After the change, I have no access to "Music", "Photos" or "Videos" anymore.
However, there is still the share called "Volumename", but now it points to the sub folder "Shared" !!!!
When connecting from either Windows or Mac I see two shares. One called "Volumename" and the other matching the user name. I think the user share actually points to /users/username.
When switching back to "With a disk password", all is like it was before - no files are lost, the "Music", "Photos" and "Videos" folders stay there, and so does all their content.
I will now try to move them into the "Shared" folder, so that the share content after switching to Secure Shared Disk "With Accounts" will look the same as the content looked until now.

Sharing Only Accounts don't show in Users & Groups

Hi,
I've done a fresh install of Maverick yesterday.
And I created a "Sharing Only" account so I can access my iMac from another PC (so it doesn't show up at logon time)
When I went back in Users and Groups this morning, my newly "Sharing Only" account had gone.
So I thought I'd forgotten it and tried to create it again: to my surprise at creation time, Mac OS reports: "Name is used by another user", when in fact it's not listed in the left sidebar (I can only see my accout and the guest account)
I tried the same with a "Standard user" and all is fine.
I tried with a second "Sharing Only" account and it disappeared too (after a logoff)
I've found this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4404 but I don't wanna screw up my fresh install
Can anyone help?

here also the same ... totally fresh out of the box Mac Mini with update to 10.9.2 ... create a share only user called "conf_share", add this user to a existing share ... go back to the User & Groups and paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh it's disappear (but still existing of course)
I found this "hint" but this is only usefull if you want to delete this user without going crazy... this hint will convert the sharing only user to a standard user
Just type the following two commands in terminal:
Quit and reopen System preferences and the sharing account will show up:
sudo dscl . create /Users/root GeneratedUID FFFFEEEE-DDDD-CCCC-BBBB-AAAA00000000
and then:
sudo dscl . create /Users/accountname UserShell /bin/bash
Replace "accountname" in the commands above with the missing account name.
