Can i home share from my macbook to my mums ipad or will it not work as we have different apple IDs?

I want to share music from my itunes on my MacBook Pro to my mums ipad with homesharing? We have different apple ID's. Help!!!

There are two ways to share your content. The simplest is just to use homesharing. Simply set up homesharing on each device from the iTunes advanced menu (you need to use the same details on each computer), providing the computers are on the same network they should see each other and can be found in the list on the left hand side of the iTunes window.
The second way is to transfer the content to another computer, play it and authorise it to play content from that account by entering the original account password when prompted (this only needs doing once for each account, not for each tune)

  • TS2972 I cannot seem to get all of my music shared across the network from my MacBook Pro to my iPad. This was not an issue a few days ago. Can anyone help?

    I cannot seem to get all of my music shared across the network from my MacBook Pro to my iPad. This was not an issue a few days ago. I can see all my songs if sorted that way, but if i sort by artist, only a few of them are present. Can anyone help or have any insight?

    Well I didn't think of it before, but I logged out of my apple ID othe iPad's home sharing. The I logged back in and it worked. It's a little weird, but I will take it. Thanks!

    If you are on iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar, which might make it easier to navigate and may instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

  • Can I Share music from iPhone to wife's iPod we both have different Apple ids, and if I do share music will all my photos be shared too?

    Can I Share music from iPhone to wife's iPod we both have different Apple ids, and if I do share music will all my photos be shared too?

    Depends on what the source of the music is (iTunes purchases, ripped CDs, etc.), and whether you are syncing to iTunes on a computer. As for simply sharing music directly from the iPhone to the iPod, no, you cannot.

    I have 2 iphones 4s's, ones my wife and one is mine. we have different apple IDs, can we share one itunes account?? if so, how??

    If you haven't set up your own Apple ID already don't.  I suggest you use the same apple ID as your wife's.  The alternative is to do this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848.  It's not efficient as you have to swap apple id's to update apps under both IDs.  20/20 being hindsight, I would have never created a 2nd apple ID for my wife.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT204053 My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

    My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

    The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud.  With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated.  There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

  • Wife & I have different Apple IDs & can't link as Family?

    Why can't my wife and I have different Apple IDs, join as "family" and use the same iCloud storage?  When Apple showed the iOS 8, the idea of building a family would allow all users, (ours have iPhone each, an iPad each, and one iMac that supports iCloud) to use the same iCloud storage.  That is what "family" ment to me.  Is there any way to fix this unfriendly family setting to work better, or must I buy more storage?

    Family sharing doesn't include sharing the same storage plan, at least not at the present time.  Storage cannot be shared between two iCloud accounts/IDs.

  • Can I share iTunes with others in my family or do we have to all buy the same songs since we have different apple IDs?

    I am new to iTunes and am wondering if I can share iTunes with my family or do we just have to all purchase the same songs multiple times since our devices have different apple ID's.  My iPhone was set up last year to one iTunes ID and I just got an iPad but it has a different apple ID. So I can't even share with myself! It seems stupid to have my husband and I both purchasing the same music.

    There are two ways to share your content. The simplest is just to use homesharing.

  • HT5661 Can I have 4 devices in my family share an iTunes account but have different apple IDs to have seperate I climb backups?

    Can I have 4 idevices in my family share an iTunes account but have separate apple IDs for iCloud and FaceTime ?

    Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
    You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

  • If my my and I have different apple ids can we share apps?

    We have an Ipad but just bought my wife and I our first iphones... I think I will set up my wife's I phone with the same apple ID as the Ipad so that she can sync and share apps with the I pad with ease...
    However,  if I create a separate apple ID for my Iphone will I have to re-buy any apps that we bought on itunes for the ipad?  Or is there a way that I can get the apps from her apple ID to my Iphone with my own apple ID?
    If so can you give me the steps to do this?

    If you haven't set up your own Apple ID already don't.  I suggest you use the same apple ID as your wife's.  The alternative is to do this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848.  It's not efficient as you have to swap apple id's to update apps under both IDs.  20/20 being hindsight, I would have never created a 2nd apple ID for my wife.

  • HT202213 Can I share music with my wife if we have different Apple IDs

    Can I share music with my wife if we have different Apple IDs

    You can set up Messages and Facetime separate from your husband and still use the same iTunes to sync things like music, movies, Apps, etc.
    To do this though, you need to get your own Apple ID. You then use your Apple ID to set up Messages and Facetime under your account. This way your Messages and Facetime calls will come from your account and your husbands from his.
    And you will still be able to sync the devises on the same iTunes account.

  • Can i get old itunes on new iphone if they have different apple ids?

    i have had itunes on the computer that is connected to 2 different ipods for several years.  i recently got a new iphone 4s and cannot figure out how to get the itunes library from my computer onto the new phone.  is that possible to do if they have 2 different apple ids?

    Yes but if you bought the music on both different id's then they are tied to those id's only.
