Not if devices are authorized/registered for the same account. Specifics depend on the service from which your are purchasing the content. (I.e., iPads could be authorized for the same iBooks/iTunes Store account or registered as two devices on the same Kindle account, etc.)

Sharing books

looks like lots of people are having the same problem, I have books that my wife wants to read on her new ipad but we can't share them, audio books, music, movies no problem but not the books, any suggestions? someone said you have to import it, to where, how- import button, where is this, is it like the anykey?

I thought they were like the music and able to be shared between iPads, my wife & I have separate iTunes accounts but use the same home network, obviously this isn't so.
Thanks for the info.

How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)?

How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)? Currently each of us has our own iTunes account, so I've made an "all office" Apple ID. However, I can't seem to get two different accounts (my personal and the office) to work on my machine. Even when I login as "the office", my personal library is still showing. Additionally, when I try to setup with a first-time use in iTunes, I get an error that I don't meet the minimum age requirement - no matter what birthdate I enter!

The library exists regardless of which user is logged in.
The only way around that is to create different user accounts on the computer.
There is no way to have 20 unique iTunes users access a shared iTunes under a single login on the computer.

How to enable sharing on ipad

How do I enable home sharing on ipad so I may listen to my iTunes on home mac?

Hi and welcome.
Instructions for enabling Home Sharing here.
The connect is via WI FI, so your iPad must be in reach of the signal.

ITunes sharing on ipad is not always available.

iTunes sharing on ipad is not always available. I have a windows pc and shared is enabled in iTunes and iPad. All signed. One day I see the share option. Next day, no matter what I do including disabling the firewall, no shared library. Help!
This worked consistently on OS 4.3 but only once in OS 5.0

Click once on the sleep/wake button to ignore the caller and the call will eventually
go to voicemail. Click twice to send the caller directly to email.

Photo Sharing on iPad

Hi,
I am using Music and Video Sharing on iPad from our iMac iTunes Library.
Is it possible to do same for Photos ... without copying the photos on the iPad? Thanks.
Regards.
Pierre

For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
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.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

There are "container" apps emerging for the iPad. Enough searching & I suspect there would be one for your needs.

What is the best way for sharing an iPad with 2 iPhones using different Apple acount ?

You can't share with other devices if you are using different Apple ID's and iTunes account on them. You can only share if you use the same ID.

My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

There is no reason to add a second iTunes account to the iPad unless your sons want to use their own credit cards for purchases and somehow I don't think is the case here.
Anyway.... Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap that ID and sign out. Then tap sign in and tap Create new Apple ID.
If your sons sync with one iTunes library on a computer, it can get a little confusing with two IDs. If either of them has their own iPod and they have been sharing purchased content with the one Apple ID, it gets a little more complicated as well with two IDs.

Cannot home share the game app purchased at iTunes store. Home sharing music works. Home sharing books works. But, when I try to copy the game app, it says my computer is not authorized. What am I doing wrong?

I've been struggling with a similar issue myself and just figured it out. Some of my content had been purchased with an older Apple ID that I don't use any more. When I authorized my second computer, I only authorized it for my new Apple ID, not my old one. When I tried to copy my library to the new computer, many songs, apps, etc. reported the error "could not be copied because this computer is not authorized". It drove me crazy because I knew the computer was authorized and much of my library came over just fine.
Finally I selected some of the problem items, selected "Get Info" from the menus, and saw that they were all purchased by my old Apple ID. I then authorized my old Apple ID on my new computer, and all of my files are copying correctly now.
Would be great if the message said something like "...because this computer is not authorized for Apple ID [email protected]"

Home Sharing books between iPads?

My wife and I both have iPads, have home sharing turned on, and are sharing the same network, the same apple id and password. She would like to read a book that I purchased and finished that is currently on my iPad. How can she access the book on her iPad so she can read it?

If you are both sharing an Apple ID for iTunes & app stores then purchased books should be available to you both, make sure settings > iBooks > show all purchases is on.

Sharing books on iPad

How can I share books with family on an iPad?

Let them borrow your iPad?
As far as I know, iBooks does not support 'loaning' of books like other apps/manufacturers do. Books are tied to an apple ID so only devices that share the same ID can share content.
There is also no support for different accounts on the device, such as your library, the spouse's library, the son's library, etc. IT's all one large 'bookshelf'.
What are you trying to do? Maybe another app beyond the main iBooks can help you more.

How do I transfer a book to another Ipad?

If the two devices are not using the same AppleID, you can't. If they are, you can download from the iBooks store's purchases page.
