Hal we both have different books music on each iPad.. We achieve this by having everything on the iTunes account we only have one. We chose which books we want when we sync. Never loose everything as it is all on iTunes. 3 accounts seems to have needlessly complicated it for you.

If she downloads a bunch of books and I log with our joint id, and hit the sync button, the message comes up and says that everything on my iPad will be wiped out and replaced with everything on our joint account.

I thought I recalled a way to put more than one command on the line at a time. I remembered it and tried it.

$ sort mo > mon ; cat mon ; rm mon ;ls
This sorts the contents of mo redirects them to mon, then shows those contents. Then it removes mon and ls's the dir where all this took place.
Yes, I know that this just does what sort does by itself. The point is that more than one utility can be run on one line. I had to try this because I got tired of doing a separate LS to verify the cmd [or utility] that I had tried. And yes, this probably save < half a second. But my pint was to see whether it works.

Lion introduced a new feature called "auto-resume" where apps will
reopen right where you left off. Many users find this feature
annoying, and it's not obvious where and how to turn it off.

Here is how to completely turn off �auto-resume�:

In System Preferences select the General tab. At the bottom of that
page is a checkbox labeled "Restore windows when quitting and re-
opening apps." If you uncheck that, your apps will continue to behave
as they did in Snow Leopard."
http://www.macrumors.com/2011/07/20/how-to-disable-lions-resume-feature/

The thing is, auto-resume is a pretty neat feature for some
purposes. Ideally you would be able to enable it when you have a
need for it in a particular application. Here is a free preferences
pane that will allow you to use (or not use) the auto-resume feature
on a per-app basis:

1. It is a folder, not an App

2. You can't

You can't. It is one of the apps preloaded by Apple.
It is intended to be used in conjunction with subscriptions to periodicals.

You can't. Put it on the last page and ignore it.

I came home tonight and quit iTunes and dragged-and-dropped the file
onto iTunes icon. It worked this time.

The file shows up in Music Library pane and I successfully
down-converted it using the Advanced > Create MP3 Version option.

Thanks for all who put on their thinking caps and went fishing...

So will you do this in person or send the file to them so they can download
it?

Do you mean "transfer" or "play"?

You question lacks some detail, but if you are simply asking how to share a large file with someone - YouSendIt and Dropbox will get you to 2GB (at least) for free. There are other similar services. If you only want people to watch, then YouTube works fine. If the material is copyrighted, set it to "Private" on upload and share it only with the users you want to see it.
