We have one computer but 2 apple ID accounts   Can we share iTunes m usic libraries with each other or do we all have up be on same account

We have one computer and multiple mobile devices
We want to share ITunes library 2 deprecate ITunes account
Can we do this through ITunes Match or does that just share between mobile devices on same account

The best way to handle it is to create separate user accounts on the computer for each user. Then make sure that you and your husband log into the computer with the appropriate account. Each of you will have a unique iTunes library, contacts, etc.

  • One computer but 2 Apple product users..

    Question...we have one computer with iTunes installed but this computer has two users both of whom have different Apple kit. One has an iPhone and the other an iPad. Assuming the computer is authorised for both Apple IDs, when iTunes is opened and one of these devices connected, should iTunes then display the content of the device connected? If it does not on one of these devices, is that a reflection that that device's Apple ID may not be authorised for that computer and simply adding the Apple ID for authorisation on that PC will resolve the issue(assuming no other factors at play)?

    Backups do not contain media, so they cannot restore media.
    A sync will put media on the device.
    The problem that you are experiencing is that the device was restored with a backup from another device.  Your device and iTunes "thinks" it is your wifes device, hence why you are getting all her content.
    Once you restore from the backup of your device, it will eliminate that confusion

  • I have windows, one computer but multi users. home sharing is on. how can i share music between users on one computer?

    I have windows.  One computer but multi users.  Home sharing is on. 2 apple accounts-1 per user. 4 devices-2 iphones and 2 ipods per user.  How can we share music  on one computer between 2 users?

    Hi Justinece, I've solved the problem in this way:
    In my wife user profile I've set in itunes settings/advanced the path to my music library: /Users/"MY NAME"/Music/iTunes/Itunes media.
    Than, from my wife profile using my administrator user and password I've set the "read/write" privileges on the above mentioned folder.
    Finally I've added the folder in my wife's library taking care to not duplicate it ( leave blank the flag in itunes setting/advanced).
    I really don't understand what's the use of home sharing...

    Do you mean iTunes library?
    iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
    iTunes library is what is on your computer.
    It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
    No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
    Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

  • HT204053 i want to have 2 apple ids one computer so my husband and I can share music . Is this possible?

    I would like to t have 2 apple ids for one computer so my husband and I can share music he got a 4s and i got the 5. Can this be done?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID.  When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data.  If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account.  If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

  • I have to move desks a lot at work. Today I bought $30 worth of music on one computer, but now I'm at another desk and another computer and cannot find my music! Every time I change computers I make sure to log out and log back in. So where is my music?

    I have to move desks and computers a lot at work. Today I bought $30 worth of music on one computer - but now I am sitting at a new desk and computer and can't find my music. Don't tell me to make sure I log on and off....i do! So where is my music?

    The music you purchased is probably in our profile directory on the computer where you purchased it.  Unless your IT department has the computers setup to use "roaming profiles" your "My Music" folder will be stored locally on each computer.  I don't know of too many companies that use "roaming profiles" as they tend to cause about as many problems as they were designed to "fix".  If you are going to be moving to many different computers, I suggest that you consider moving your iTunes Library to an external drive that you move with you.  This way your purchased content is stored on your external drive and not on the local drive of the PC you are using at the time of the purchase.

  • My husband and I share one computer.  We want to be able to share the same music on our iPhones, but we don't want to share the same contacts and applications.  How can I set this up so we still share music, but everything else is separate on our iPhones?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. You can both use the same ID for the store login and share your music etc., and use different ID's to log in to iCloud, thereby keeping your calendars etc separate.

    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.

  • Songs playing on one computer, but not on others.

    I use my iPod on three different computers (Home/Work/brand new laptop). I recently upgraded my iPod from original 80gb to new Classic 160gb. Before I purchased my new iPod, I transferred my whole library (about 50gb)from my iPod onto my new laptop(using transfer software). Then when I purchased my new iPod I synced the whole library to the iPod. The problem is that when ever I connect my iPod to my work or home PC some songs have an exclamation mark next to them (and they don't play). So when I went to replace the "exclamation marked" songs from the laptop (where the whole library exist), I had NO exclamation marks. So my question is why do the songs play on one computer but not the others? Please help!

  • "printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)

    printer is offline" appears on one computer but not the other (both windows 7)

    This is pretty common to see when your firewall kicks in and blocks certain communication paths the printer takes.
    Here's a list of ports and programs that when allowed through the firewall, will restore communiction.
    Ports to open:
    UDP ports: 427, 161, 139
    TCP ports: 9200, 9220, 9290, 9500
    Programs to allow:
    hpiscnapp.exe
    hpoews01.exe
    hpofxm08.exe
    hposfx08.exe
    hposid01.exe
    hpqkygrp.exe
    hpqste08.exe
    hpqtra08.exe
    hpznui01.exe
    hpzwiz01.exe
    SLP_Service (also known as UDP 427)
    Have your security software provider walk you through allowing these items through your firewall.
    If this does not fix your issue, it is most likely an issue with the driver configuration. Your router may have assisgned the printer a new IP address and this can be changed in the properties of the existing driver.

  • HELP!! WRT54G2 works for one computer, but not for the other

    I have a WRT54G2 and it is connected to 2 computers. The internet works in one computer, but not on the other. The tech support said i needed to configure it or firmware or something like that. But my product is out of warranty and I really need the internet on the other computer as well. Please Help!!!

    As your one computer is working fine then there is no problem with the router so far...
    The computer which is not working...check the IP Address on that...
    Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
    IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
    If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
    If you get 4 replies then type ping 4.2.2.2 and press Enter, if you get request timed out, then you need to upgrade your router's firmware...If you get 4 replies then type ping yahoo.com and press Enter...If you get replies for Yahoo then you should get the Internet after adjusting the browser settings...
    Adjusting Browser Settings : Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
    If yahoo times out then provide static DNS on your LAN Connection...
    Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local Area Connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the Following DNS Settings' Preferred DNS 4.2.2.2 Alternate DNS - 192.168.1.1>>Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...You should be able to go online...

  • Win8.1 hard drive will not load in one computer but will in another

    I have a HP s3707c (product FQ578AA-ABA, Software build 91NAv6PrA1). Win8.1. This computer got stuck in the "preparing automatic repair" loop and will not start windows. It freezes with the windows icon showing and no spinning circle of dots appear. I made a recovery USB and it will not start from it either. I thought that it might be a hard drive problem (or software), but the HP diagnostic test from hitting F9 on start up indicate that everything passes.  I have a second computer that is the same type, so I took the hard drive out of the computer having problems and put it in the one that is not having problems. It started up just fine. I put the hard drive from the good computer into the one having problems and it still would not start up windows from the drve or from the recovery disk. Any suggestion on how I should proceed diagnosing the problem on this machine not starting up windows? 

    Hello D1P. I understand that the hard drive will work on one computer, but not another one. I do have to point out that the computer you pointed out (FQ578AA), does not have Windows 8.1 drivers, as indicated here. You should reference this document for more information: What if I don't see my operating system.
    If you are interested in troubleshooting the issue under this environment, you can test the computer for hardware failures. If there is an error, this indicates that the computer could have a hardware failure. Otherwise, you are likely facing a compatibility issue.
    Please let me know the results of you troubleshooting. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
