Sharing music between two devices, iPhone & iPod Touch

I have a company iPhone with all of my music bought through iTunes. I just bought an iPod touch and need to know if I can share my music and apps between both devices. I want my iPod to use my yahoo account as the default mail app and the iPhone needs to keep my company Outlook mail. How do I set this up? If I go into an apple store, will they help me/

- For this:
Thank you very much! I just need to be sure my texts from my work iPhone don't show up on the iPod. I can turn off the iMessage app
Go to Settings>Messages>Send and receive and make sure you emaill address and phone number do not appear. Delete them if necessary. You can then add her own email address so you can message her.
- The iPod will only use a phone number for Messages if the Account used to set up the iPod includes an iPhone and the iPod has iOS 6. You can't add non-iPhone number to Messages on an iPod.

Confused about sharing music between two ipods

I have a 30GB ipod video, and I bought my husband an 8GB nano for Christmas. I have been searching the threads trying to figure out how we can share music, but I seem to get conflicting information. I understand how to create separate libraries and I think I understand how to allow him access to my library (move itunes music folder into public folder?) but am still unclear about sharing music between ipods. Because in some of the posts, I have read that while you can share music and listen to it via multiple itunes libraries, you can ONLY listen to it on the computer--you cannot get it onto another ipod due to anti-piracy measures.
I know I could create a playlist for him in my library, but I like to autosync my ipod and I don't really want his music on mine, because the songs we BOTH like I've already imported into my itunes library. I was hoping to set up a separate library for him, import my music files into it, then let him delete the artists he's not interested in and add the music he wants that I don't. But I don't want to go through all that if he won't be able to play the shared songs on his own ipod.
I hope all this makes sense. Can someone who shares songs in this way give me some advice? Again, I would like for us to maintain separate libraries but I would like to make mine available to him so he doesn't have to reimport all the CDs I've already imported (and I don't want to waste computer space by having multiple copies of the same songs).
Any help would be appreciated!

Ver easy to accomplish.
I have one library, two 4GB iPods and ~20GB of music.
Rather than duplicating libraries or creating separate user accounts/sharing music you can't load, etc. which simply takes up space on the disk drive, use the same library and use sync only what you want.
Create playlist(s) of your own music from the library.
Add/remove from those playlists as you want.
Connect your iPod, select it in iTunes and select the Music tab.
Select Sync music, Sync selected playlists and choose what you want.
The way I do it is I create a main playlist (Chris's Music) of music in the library that I like.
I also create a smart playlist (Not Chris's Music) and set it to Match Rule - Playlist is not Chris's Music.
This helps to manage my music by showing all music not in main playlist so I can browse for music I may have missed or now want to add.
I do the same for my daughters iPod except she gets to pick her own stuff.
This way whenever any music is added by either of us, it is available to the other with no problems.

Sharing Music between two Itunes accounts

I bought my father a nano for Xmas and want to load music from my I tunes account on his nano. But he has his own Itunes account. How can he keep the music I loaded and sync his own Itunes with his nano without deleteing songs? We both have PC with XP.

This article describes two methods:
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
If you want only one library, use the second method.
There are some disadvantages:
If one of the users deletes a song, the other can't play it no more.
If one user adds a song, the other has to add it to his/her library too.
Hope this helps.

Sharing music between two itunes libraries on same mac computer

Hi. We have one computer with two Itunes Libraries (when we click on Itunes we use the Option Key so that we can choose the appropriate Library).
What is the best way to move songs between the two Libraries. I tried burning a cd from one library and then uploading to the next - but that didn't work and took forever.
thanks
Ps: To give you idea of which Itunes I have - here is my most recent update:

Sharing Music between two Ipods

Is there a way to take Music off one Ipod and put on another
Ipod. Both are 5Th. Gen. But I don't want all the music just
some of it !
Thanks Ed

Hello Ed,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is there a way to take Music off one Ipod and put on another Ipod.
Yes, but in order to sync it to the 2nd iPod, you'll need to copy it over to your iTunes library first. You can transfer content from one iPod directly to another.
So if the music you wish to sync to the 2nd iPod is no longer in your iTunes library, you'll need to somehow copy it off the 1st iPod first and import it into your library.

Sharing Music between cpu and iphone

There are two computers that I keep my music on, the secondary one is not allowing me to transfer songs onto my iphone. Any suggestions as to what settings might need to be changed?
Thanks!

YOu can only sync to one itunes media library. Decide which one you want to sync to, then copy the music from the other PC to the PC you will now sync to.

Sharing music between two users of the same computer

My husband and I both have i pods and use the same PC, running Windows XP. We have different user names in XP, but have the same e-mail address and apple account. We can't have both our iTunes open at the same time and can't share music without creating playlists in each others library and then burning them to CDs. More than half the time the CD's fail to burn and we get error messages. We have tried the sharing settings in Preferences, Exporting and Importing files and folders, etc. but nothing works. Are we destined to have to buy the same songs twice?

1 Quit iTunes.
2 Drag your entire iTunes folder from \My Documents\My Music\ to a Shared C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music.
3 Log out.
1 Log in on your other account(s).
2 Start iTunes and immediately press an hold the Shift key.
3 iTunes will ask to Create new library or Choose existing library. Select Choose existing library.
4 Select the iTunes library file in the iTunes folder in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\iTunes.
5 Now go to File -> Add Folder to library and select the iTunes music folder located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\iTunes.
6 - iTunes will add all the music in from this account to the main iTunes music folder/library.
7 Delete the iTunes folder in \My Documents\My Music\.
8 Restart iTunes normally (don't hold Shift). Everything should be there.
9 Quit iTunes and log out of the account.
10 Do the above steps for all users. Don't do the first 1-3 steps. Start at the second series.
Log into your account, start iTunes normally and all music should be there.
Whenever any of you do anything in iTunes, it will be seen by all since you are using one and the same iTunes library file.
Create a "main" playlist for each user with their own music. Create a smart playlist and set it to Playlist is not the playlist you created above. Select this and it will show you everything NOT in your playlist. Do the same for the others. This will help when adding only the music you want your own playlist.
Note that iTunes can only be opened by one user at a time.

Sharing music between two users

I share a Macbook with my wife. I have a great music library on my account and would like to share it with her on her account. Where should I put the files so we both have access without doubling our hard drive space? Thanks to all who reply!!

If you put the iTunes Library folder anywhere outside of the protected folders in your home folder (Document, Music, Pictures, Movies, Desktop, Library) she can access it directly by pointing her iTunes to it.
To do so, in her account, hold [Option] while opening iTunes until the dialog window pops up with the options to 'Create New Library' and 'Choose Library'. Pick Choose and navigate to your iTunes folder and hit OK.. Now iTunes in her account will open your main library just as if it were in your account.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue.

iTunes content can be commingled in the iTunes library on a computer and synced to iOS devices. The computer must be authorized to use the content from the respective Apple IDs in the iTunes Store menu.
