Share apps on 2 iPhone; Same mac, different user accounts

[dalvin200]

Got a little problem.

Have 2 iPhones (mine + wifes)

2 user accounts (mine + wifes)

1 mac

1 iTunes account

all the apps are within my user account, so I simply copied & pasted the .ipa files across to wifes user account and synced the apps - which worked fine.

but the music she syncs with is from my user account, so when she plugs her iphone into my user account, all apps get deleted; tres annoying.

how can i get this to work?

been trying for a few days now..

it's all a little crap at the moment, as I have mobileme, and she doesn't, which is why she only syncs her contacts/cal from her user account and then syncs music/vids/podcasts from my user account.
For some weird reason, apps don't seem to stay synced at all...

I must be missing something really obvious but hours of googling and mroogling haven't resulted in the correct answer.

here's hoping one of you can help :)

thanks

Why don't you move the music to the Shared folder, so she can access it from her account also. Then she can do everything from her account.

i did try that, but then if I add a playlist, and she also wants it, then we have to create that playlist in both user accounts ... is that correct?
