[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1586466, member: 24160"] I would create your own user account - not use your wife's account. Take no chances on messing up her iTunes library... Then use the following to restore your library from the backup: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US]iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive[/url] edit............... The other option would be to open iTunes while holding down the option key. Select the option to create a new iTunes library and give it a name. Log into that account with your Apple ID and redownload all your stuff. Both of you will then need to use the option key when you start iTunes so that you each can select your own libraries. I have not had multiple iTunes libraries in a few years - pretty sure the default without holding down the option key is the last one opened. [/QUOTE]
