My wife and I share the same computer with different iTunes accounts. We both have different usernames on the computer. She had some problems and has to create a new username to sign on to the computer. Now when she opens up iTunes her library is not there. It has to be on the computer so how do I get it to show up under her new username. Her iTunes account is the same. There has to be a way.
Again the only thing she changed was her usename to sign on the computer. Not iTunes. Thanks

Correct there is, what you'll have to do is move her library from her old user profile to her new user profile via Windows Explorer (if you're on Windows). You may have to import it again, too.

Her music right now resides in her old account. Log in with her new account and browse to wherever her old library was, by default it would be in My Music. Once you locate the folder, cut it and paste it in her new account at the same location. Open iTunes. Go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab > and make sure the iTunes Media Folder location is pointing to the new location. Again, you may need to import again even after those steps...
