Syncing 2 accounts from one computer

My wife and I both have log ins on our iMac - I have most of the music but she has most of the photos - without having to move things about is there a way of syncing both accounts (or at least the music from mine and the photos from hers) onto our Apple TV?
Thanks

Please be aware that you should not regard AppleTV as a backup device.
Currently you cannot move things back from the AppleTV to a computer so you must make sure that you have some alternative backup system or you could be stuck if your main iTunes library is lost.
The software update may address this but I doubt it.

Sync Books from one computer, movies from another?

The title describes it...is there a way to sync movies from one computer and my books from another computer to my iPad? I have a Macbook Pro that I use mainly for work, but also use it for some personal stuff. However, I keep all my movies on my iMac at home and the iTunes library there. I keep all my books on my Macbook Pro. Is there a way to make this work? Or should I just get all my books onto my iMac? That would be a chore, but would be doable. I have been purchasing books on Kindle and then importing them into iBooks because the app is better.
Any suggestions would be greatly apprecaited! Thanks in advance!

Yeah...that's probably what I will be doing. A bit of a hassle as I use my MBP MUCH more than I use my iMac, but not too bad. I use my iPad more for books and everything BUT watching movies. However, I have a 2TB media server HD on my iMac where all my movie content lies. My music is on my MBP, but use iTunes Match, so that's a wash.
The Kindle to iBooks thing is awesome. A bit of a process, but awesome. Here's the article that explains it all...

How do I remove a profile account from one computer without deleting the data?

Hi! I want to delete mozilla from one computer and remove my profile account so that all of my data on this computer is deleted. But I use the same profile in mozilla on another computer and I don`t know if my profile will keep the data stored on this computer after deleting it in the other one. Can you please clarify this issue for me. Thanks!
Best,
Vanya

If you want to delete your personal data on a computer reliably then you would have to perform a secure wipe to clear the data on the hard drive.
Otherwise Windows will only mark data as deleted.
Best is to disconnect from Sync before deleting data on a computer to avoid other computers from getting affected.
You can use the Profile Manager to remove a profile.

Transferring itunes Account from one computer to another????

(I tried using the search feature but nothing came up..)
Currently I have a laptop that is set up for itunes. What do I need to do to transfer the information from that laptop to another one? Is there any step by step instruction that I can find and use to help me with this process?
Thanks!

You don’t transfer iTunes accounts.
You can transfer your purchases from the store to another computer.
Copy the /My music/*iTunes folder* from one computer to the other.

I'm unable to access multiple accounts from one computer on Apple TV.

I have an imac running OSX (10.5.8). There are three accounts on the computer, and each one is connected to Home Sharing using the same account.
Whenever I try to access the files on accounts (other than the first one signed on), I get a message saying that it cannot access the library. However, each account is signed on with their itunes open. The first account to sign on when the computer is started-up never has an issue. It's each other account.
Does anybody have any information regarding this? I'm really at a loss for what to do.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I don't have any problems doing the same thing, do they share content, are they all using admin accounts.

Adding an existing user account from one computer to another?

hey all,
i fried my Macbook. it's wrecked.
while i save for another i plan on borrowing my sister's computer (she's going overseas for 3 months).
Now im sure the HD of my Macbook is fine, and my mum has one too. So i want to take the HD out of hers (apparently this wont void the warranty) and put my HD into it, booting it from mine, so that it is essentially my computer.
Then i want to transfer my account details to my sister's iMac - but i dont want to wipe her account off. I just want to add an account to her iMac, that account being the one that was on my Macbook (via my mum's Macbook).
How can i do this? Can i do it? Does it matter that my Macbook (and therefore my account) was running OS 10.5, while her iMac is on OS 10.4?
Id love to hear back from anyone that can help. I haven't had much luck so far... my Macbook was only a few months old, and i was literally a week from insuring it when i bumped a glass of orange juice.... you can imagine the rest : (
thanks all : )

Leopard itself, unlike Tiger, is a "universal boot" OS - it does not come in separate Intel and PPC versions. So if you can get your MacBook HD image cloned onto an APM-formatted external Firewire drive, it MIGHT still boot and run in the G5 iMac.
You said you got an external drive - did you mean a Firewire enclosure which now holds the MB HD?
If so, you could now obtain another external Firewire drive, not just an enclosure. They are quite cheap at OWC (much cheaper than another computer) and can be put to good use later for backup whatever happens.
Then the idea would be to connect the new empty drive to the G5 iMac, and use Disk Utility there to partition it as APM if it is not already that way. Then also connect the FW enclosure containing your MB HD. From the G5, use a program like Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the old GUID-partitioned MB volume (source) to the new APM-partitioned external drive volume (target).
Next try to boot from the new external drive, and cross your fingers!
Again this might not work, but an external FW drive is always a good investment for future backup.
You mentioned an eMac - if you want to try it instead of the G5, be sure it meets the requirements for Leopard.

Move itunes account from one computer to another

My laptop recently died and I bought a rerplacement. I have installed itunes on the new machine. When I log on to my account none of my music, videos, podcasts or photos are showing. How do I access these on a new machine?

I also just purchased a new macbook, is there any way I can transfer my iTunes music/videos/etc. from my phone to my macbook, or do I have to transfer from my old computer? My old computer is not an apple if that matters...

Managing multiple iPods from one computer

The existing posts re: managing multiple iPods/iTunes accounts from one computer don't seem to address my question. I have been sharing my iPod with the family, and want to get my son his own for his birthday. Can I manage both iPods from the same computer? Does the iTunes software have the ability to "recognize" which iPod unit is attached? I'm dying to get his music out of my iPod ...

Can I manage both iPods from the same computer?
Yes.

Create new playlist and put the music you want in it.
Open iTunes prefs -> iPod and select Automatically update only selected playlists and pick this new playlist.

Can I sync podcasts and ITunesU. from one computer to another that both have the same acount.

Can I sync podcasts and ITunesU. from one computer to another that both have the same account.

No. Time Machine won't get your boot camp partition back. There are excellent utilities that move entire hard drive contents among hard drives such as SuperDuper! and CCC, but as far as I know they don't work with boot camp partition. My suggestion: reinstall Mac OSX on your new Mac (you don't want to hold Option key to start it everytime anyway), partition it with boot camp exactly (or similarly) as you did to your previous Mac (install the same operating system, which should be one of the Microsoft Windows I assume). Use Migration Assistant as kaz-k suggested to move all the stuff on the Mac partition of your previous Mac. Reboot both your Macs from the boot camp partition - I assume they are all on Windows platform. Now you have two computers on Windows platform. Use Norton Ghost or similar tools to migrate all the stuff from your old machine to your new machine. Hope this helps. Backup all your data before such operation. Good luck.
