I am sure I have asked this before but I have never really had a chance to play with it but with the icloud I think it's time to get it working, I want to be able to sync calenders, email and contacts separately but use the same iTunes library.
We have an iMac (with Lion) that has our iTunes library on an external hard drive and I want to set up iTunes so the each "profile" has access to and the ability to add and edit content.
I know who to set up the profiles.
Reading online seems to suggest I need to add (or Copy) the library to the "shared folder" but I would prefer to keep it on the external drive and this doesn't seem to add content unless certain steps are done. (

There seems to be another method (

Any insight would be great. I think my setting up my iMac with profiles I lose the ability to WIFI sync which I am OK with but I could be wrong.
One last question. In time Machine how do I get the external hard drive added to the back-up. I keeping trying to remove the hard drive from the exclude list but it keeps re-appearing on the exclude list. I think it may be due to the external hard drive being in NTSF format. If that is the case can I change it to an apple friendly format without formatting.
Thanks
