Can I share my iTunes library with my iphone

I thought it might be possible to share my iTunes library with my iphone. I turned home sharing on in my iTunes, but apparently my laptop needs to stay on yo share. How can I share my music with my iphone from my laptop without physically putting them on phone?

1. Your iTunes on computer must be running and Home Sharing is activated.
2. On iPhone's Settings > Music > under HOME SHARING : the same Apple ID as on computer.
3. After the above are done, start iPhone's Music app > More... (bottom right) > Shared > select your computer iTunes Library.
4. After the circle completed, tap Music and choose whatever music you fancy.

  • How can i share my ITunes library with 2 IPhones?

    My wife and i each have administrator rights on our accounts and both have an IPhone 3G. How can i share the single ITunes library on our MacBook so that the music is synced when we connect our IPhones.
    I have checked other posts but to no avail.
    Thanks

    Drag your \Music\iTunes\ folder to the Shared directory.In the Finder, right click - get info.
    Go to *Sharing & Permissions* tab and make sure everyone has Read/Write permissions and click the Gear and *Apply to enclosed items*.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select *Choose library* and select the _iTunes library file_ in the \Shared\iTunes\ folder.
    Log out and your wife logs in.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select *Choose library* and select the _iTunes library file_ in the \Shared\iTunes\ folder.
    If hse has music in her iTunes library that was not in your , sh eFile -> Add to library and select those items in her \Music\iTunes\iTunes media folder.
    Then she can delete \Music\iTunes\ folder.

  • Can I share one iTunes Library with multiple computers on a network?

    Can I share one iTunes Library with multiple computers on a network?
    note: one library universally shared, not Home Sharing (one library each, shared to each.)
    I want to share one library stores on my server and access it through various local computers. When I buy a song from a computer (non-server), I want it to be added to the library (stored on server). I want it to auto copy to my server, for organization. I want to be able to sync my phone from any computer.
    Most of this I can do, if i figure out how to use one universal library for all my computers.
    Any ideas how I can do this?

    eyeinit,
    You can authorize your iTunes account on up to 5 computers at a time.
    However, purchased music is downloaded to the first machine to download it, but these articles have more information on moving your music between authorized computers:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93063
    This one is for moving all your music using an iPod as a storage drive

    Hope this helps,

    Hello Solid Buck,
    Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing.  It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone. 
    In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone.  I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • How can I share my iTunes library with 2 iTunes accounts?

    How can I share my iTunes library between me and my wife?
    I do not want to set-up 2 seperate accounts on my mac. Do not want to do home sharing or anything like this. 
    I just would like to connect my iPad to ONE itunes library and at the same time connect my wifes iPad to the SAME itunes library. Can this be done? How? Thanks! Maybe the answer is something really easy like "just connect both to the computer and sync them".
    Thanks!

    Plug them in and use them.
    That is all you need to do.
    In the answer from Apple I do not find anything about how the 2 exisiting iTunes accounts will be handled.
    They will be handled fine.
    All purchases from both iTunes accounts can be sync'd to both/either iPads with no problem.
    I have three iTunes accounts (me and two daughters), 3 iPhones, an iPad and a few iPods.
    Any/all content can be sync'd to any device, no problems.

  • Can I share my iTunes library with my daughters iPod?

    Hello,
    Is anyone able to tell me if you can share an iTunes library with another person who lives at the same address, ie my daughter.
    Thanks

    Hi there Janus271!
    I believe that Home Sharing will allow you to do what you wish to do with iTunes. An article about the features of Home Sharing can be found here:
    Understanding Home Sharing

    If you do desire to use Home Sharing, this article can help you set it up on your devices.

  • Can I share my iTunes library with other user accounts on my computer?

  • HT4759 Can I share my iTunes library with my Samsung Tablet ?

    How do I share my iTunes library with my Samsung Tablet?

    If you mean your iTunes Match library, no.  It only works with iOS devices and computers running iTunes.  If you mean you want to transfer music from your iTunes library on your computer to your Samsung Tablet, you would have to consult the Samsung manual to find out how to import music.  (It won't sync with iTuens.)

  • How can i share my iTunes library with my fiancee, he has new iPhone 5 I have an iPhone 4s,iPad, and Mac Book Pro. I signed on to his phone with my account and the library is in iTunes but it is not showing up in his music?

    How can i get my itunes library on my fiances' iphone 5?  I have an iphone 4s, ipad and a Mac book pro.  I thought I could have my music on up to ten different devises?  I signed in on his phone and my music is in his itunes account but it is not in his music file.

    I regret to say that you need a new computer. That G5, as good as it still is, simply cannot run the required software to be used with the latest iPhones and other software.

  • HT4352 My iTunes library is on my brand new PC. It cannot recognize my wireless network. How can I share the iTunes library with my new Apple TV?

    What do I need to do?

    Preliminary conditions:
    Through settings, you must log the Apple TV in with your iCloud account.
    In iTunes, choose Advanced > Turn on Home Sharing from the menu bar.
    The Apple TV and your computer must be connect to the same network.
    The Apple TV is sold in many different countries. However, iTunes is discriminately serviced. Whereas in the United States, movies and musics are sold in their entirety, there is no such services in Korea ― only app purchases. If your iCloud (or Apple) acount falls into the latter category, and you login to the Apple TV with that account, Apple TV will automatically convert its systems to the similar limitations.
    Here's what happens when I login with my U.S. account to the Apple TV.
    But when I login with my Korean account, theres only the 'Computers' and 'Settings' menu.
