Hi. Can any of the following be done and if yes, then how? 1. Have user a syncing there iOS device while user b is logged in playing games. 2. Use 1 iTunes library for 2 user accounts. 3. Make a shaired folder in one account to share the iTunes library that is linked to that account to a second account. Thank you.

1. I assume you mean that User B is using the PC that user A wishes to sync with. In this scenario, I don't see why you couldn't sync with the iTunes library over WiFi.

2. I don't think you can have multiple user accounts associated with one iTunes library.

3. You can share specific files, groups of files, or the whole iTunes library with iTunes sharing. Both devices, the computer with the iTunes library on it, and the secondary device, need to be on the same WiFi network.

I am using a Mac. The Mac and all iOS devices are on the same network.
