Update Library of a person using same music files but different login
I use iTunes with Windows. The songs are saved in "my files". I am using Windows XP Verion 5.1 My wife uses also iTunes on the same computer but with a different login. When I add files to iTunes my library is up to date but not hers. What can I do?
Windows XP Verion 5,1
Have a look at this article on sharing iTunes and see if it does what you are looking for. It was written for iTunes 4 but the version doesn't matter:"iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195

I need to use same sql file which contains table ddl for sybase as well as oracle .
here If the db is sybase should run sybase ddl only and visa-ver.
Please help
RegardsIts already there, but you have any though on same file please write.My thoughts is that it sounds like a bad idea. Do you have a particular reason for wanting this in a single file?

how do you get two devices to facetime on one apple id
Yes you can use the same apple id to facetime with two devices. I just tried it between my macbook air and my iphone 5S using the same apple id. You just need to make sure the ipod is trying to call the iphone number.

My both of iphone id blocked. What do I have to do?
Sorry, but nobody here can help you nor can Apple. The only way to disable Activation Lock on your devices is to use the password for the AppleID associated with that devices iCloud account. There is no alternative - you need that password, or you need your friend to disable those devices in their online account.

How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?
How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?

Here are more details on my situation which should help clarify things...
I purchased three iPhone 4 models back when they first came out (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library. The problem is (as I understand it) that I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct without wiping out the separate contact lists, etc. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates and still be able to manage separate contact lists, etc. If I go this route, I assume we will lose all the apps on phones #2 and #3 that we have been "sharing"... correct? Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, one of you can help me??
we have 2 iphone 4's synced to the same itunes account for apps and music since the day we bought them, but each has a different icloud acct. they have both been updated on the same itunes account with every update that has come out since we bought them in december of 2010. nothing on either phone has ever been lost or duplicated. having said all that, maybe i'm missing something here, but we have had no problems. we do have itunes setup to sync manually. i do believe i'm a piker compared to lawrence finch, but i'm just telling you what happens in my house. maybe check with apple? is there a store near you? -

2 iphone 4, 1 computer. i upgraded to ios 5 and just updated my wifes phone as well. her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts were put on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user acct on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal??
Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works. I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac. Is this because of they want us to use itunes match
That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
You need to have Home Sharing On.
Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
Choose your iTunes' library and have fun. -
2 iPods, 2 accounts but same music files, Can I point both users to the same music files, or do I have to have a seperate copy on each user account?
Me and the wife both have an iPod, and Ive read there easier to manage if you use 2 user accounts.
However, can I store all my music MP3s in one place on the HDD, and just point each user account's iTunes to the one place?
Or do you have to have the music in each users folder?
Sorry Im brand new to Mac and an (ex) PC user
cheersMaybe one of these two posts by me might clear it up for you a bit...

i got a new phone last week and now I can't access my music. My mrs was using the same email address but different password, and now all I can access is the kids games
If by 'My mrs was using the same email address but different password' you are referring to iTunes accounts, then the primary email address on an iTunes account has to be unique - there can't be multiple accounts with the same email address.
And the music was purchased from iTunes, it's not music that was copied from CDs or bought from other sites ? -

3 iphones in household.All use same apple ID.But all contacts get mixed between phones and facetime calls come in from other contacts.How can we change this so our phone information isn't visible to each other?
Use separate Apple IDs for each family member and use Family Sharing features of those things (if any) that you do want to share. https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/
