What if I don't want my daughters' iTunes libraries syncing to mine?

Hi all,
I've searched for an answer to this, but couldn't find one I can understand.
I have a MacBook Pro and an iPod Touch 4th generation, and I'm diving into iCloud.
My daughters and my wife all use my Apple ID (they have Windows laptops running, I think, Windows Vista). I've painstakingly sorted out a library for each one of them on their own laptops (and they have iPod Nanos (5th generation), so they don't have iOS devices.)
What I don't want is for their Windows laptops to reach into iCloud and being downloading into their (small) libraries everything that's in my (gigantic) library, just because they use the same Apple ID.
I'm hoping that doing nothing will make sure that this doesn't happen, but I'm afraid that when they turn on their laptops, iCloud will begin sending tons of stuff to them. Is there a way to prevent this? If so, could you please explain it in v-e-r-y simple terms?!? Thank you!

If this program will not get the iPod out of recovery mode then you will have to restore and thus erase the iPod.

HT5129 what if i don't want the album imported to my iPhoto? what do I need to do?

what if i don't want the album imported to my iPhoto? what do I need to do? I get the same message every time I open iPhoto. tried to download for 3 hours and not much happened. all albums are on my iPhoto already so I don't want to download again.

Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the MobileMe account. That should stop those messages. If they come up just click on the More Information buttion. That will circumvent the download and take you to an Apple website that you an close and ignore.
Also log out of MoblleMe in the System/MobileMe preference pane.

Mercom,
Here is how it should look. The triangle is to the right of each song price:
When you click it, the first menu item is "Gift This Song":

HT201328 what if u don't want to change sim cards immediately?

what if u don't want to change sim cards immediately?

The SIM card when used with iPhone only contains your phone number and makes connection with the Carrier you have your cell phone account with. You can keep and use your old SIM Card as long as you don't inactivate it with your Carrier. I am on my fifth upgraded iPhone, and I am still using my Original Cingular SIM Card before Cingular bought ATT out, and then decided to change the company name to ATT. So using iPhone SIM Cards is very flexible, you decide everything.

I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. iTunes the software is a free download. Do you mean you bought a subscription to iTunes Match? If so, what do you mean that your music did not transfer to your second computer. Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible so we can better help you.

You can restore from the backup of the old one.

What if I don't want to sync ALL of my Library to my IPod?

New to Macs and iTunes, so be gentle...
Just bought a iMac Core Duo, and my wife's Nano is synched up with it, no problem.
Here's what I want to do though: I want to put all my CD library on iTunes, but I don't want ALL of the songs to sync over - just the ones she wants (she just has upbeat music to work out to).
Is this possible? If it is, how do I tell iTunes which ones to sync and which ones NOT to sync?
Derek

You can choose to "automatically update selected playlists only" in which case you can create a playlist specifically for the Nano and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Or you can choose to "manually manage songs and playlists"
For info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.
