How can I get multiple users to be able to share the music on iTunes? I've tried Home Sharing, but it does not work properly.
How can I get home sharing to work on my mac mini for multiple users? It says it is working, but it never shows up in the left hand column.
Gino Cerullo,
Thanks for your response. I tried all that myself. In fact, last night, it all worked fine on all users. This morning, no Home Sharing would show up. It is really weird because some setting must have changed, but I did not knowingly changed anything, and now all the obvious fixes don't work. In fact, if I turn off Home Sharing and turn it back on, then it comes up only until I hit the "done" button on the set up page and then it goes away from the left hand column again. The ADVANCED drop down tab says it is on, but it is not there.
Thanks anyway.

I can listen to the Music Library in my Ipad through home sharing, but I can't do it in my Iphone. When Iphone managed to connect my Mac, I can see how a watch turns clockwise but it stops when it arrives at a half of the watch. What can I do?

can't get to settings to turn on wifi because "sign in to icloud" pops up and asks for pw which does not work because i can't get to wifi ?
The problem is I cannot turn on wireless setting. The "sign in to icloud -- enter appleid password" popup will not go away. when i enter the pw and click ok, the same balloon pops up again. If I click "cancel" it pops again. Since I am not on the internet (because I cannot turn the ipad wireless on) the sign in to icloud obviously will not work. Vicious circle.

How come when I try to print from my iPad for example Tim Horton's WiFi to mu home Airprint printer it does not work.
The Airprint printer must be on the same local network (LAN) for Airprint to work. You cannot print to your home printer using the WiFi at Tim Horton's.

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

Hello yayafromca,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I would recommend starting with this article named Can't connect to the iTunes Store found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368.
If needed there is another article with more advanced troubleshooting found here: iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting

How can I allow multiple users on XP pro to use the same itunes files
I'm new to this iPod/iTunes stuff and i would like to allow my family to use all the songs that I have on the computer. I installed iTunes 7.0 and loaded all 1800 songs using my user profile. I then let my wife signon and when i opened iTunes she couldn't see all the songs. I placed the iTunes directory in the /All Users/Shared Documents/shared music folder and i made the change to the iTunes preferences.
Other users on the same machine still can't see all the music.
What am I doing wrong?You're half-way there, GrezGolfer.
To get to the finish line, make sure it's the iTunes Music folder, not the iTunes folder, you've put in the Shared Documents folder. (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195 for details.)
And finally, follow the instructions in the last part of that Knowledge Base article for each user - File menu > Add Folder to Library ... -
I used the migrator utility to transfer itunes and photos from my old PC to my new Mac and ended up with 2 accounts on my new computer. How do I transfer the music and photos and only have the 1 account on the new Mac ?
That's not easy. The Windows migration tool makes a new user account, and you can't prevent it.
You may be able to transfer what you want manually, but it's not quick or easy. See Transferring files from one User Account to another. -
I have a mac pro which I recently made to share with my mac desktop. iphoto was updated on the mac pro from 8.2.1 and I can no longer open iphoto. I get an error message You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. The only option is for me to quit. I have tried to restore with no luck. I tried reinstalling using my Application CD. Help?????
when you opened the shared library with the newer version of iPhoto (iPhoto '11) you were given a warning that your library would be converted and could not be used by older versions - you clicked ok to go ahead - there is no updo available - either upgrade to iphoto '11 of the MBP or load your backup of the iPhoto '09 library on it - older versiopns of i{Photo can not read newer libraries

I have a iPod touch 4th gen. And I cannot get into the Internet I get a message that say cannot connect to server. The other computer and my iPad still work with the Internet . I have reeked to reset it but that does not work. Please help me.
I do not know wat "reeked to reset" means.
Try the following:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Power off and then on your router.
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)?
How can I have multiple users on iTunes (in order to connect to a shared office iPad)? Currently each of us has our own iTunes account, so I've made an "all office" Apple ID. However, I can't seem to get two different accounts (my personal and the office) to work on my machine. Even when I login as "the office", my personal library is still showing. Additionally, when I try to setup with a first-time use in iTunes, I get an error that I don't meet the minimum age requirement - no matter what birthdate I enter!
The library exists regardless of which user is logged in.
The only way around that is to create different user accounts on the computer.
There is no way to have 20 unique iTunes users access a shared iTunes under a single login on the computer. -
How can I have multiple users on one apple id?
How can I have multiple users on one apple ID?
ie: I have my apple ID with my own credit, how can I set up credit for my son under the same apple ID, so that he can still access the same apps I've already downloaded and paid for?I've been trying to figure out a clean way to do this too. I think you may need more than one Apple ID – one that is shared and used to purchase "sharable" items and then "individual" Apple IDs for you and your son. That's the idea that I'm pursuing for the moment.
It seems that there must be a way to do this, App Store purchases for the Mac are licensed across multiple machines. iPhone app purchases have "all your devices" licensing. Makes me think that Apple has a process in mind for sharing an account (or associating a device with multiple accounts).
Other things I've learned:
- Apparently you can't merge Apple ID accounts. I asked about this once at an Apple Store and was told that there was no way to do it.
- If you share an Apple ID the Messages app behaves in a somewhat surprising manner. It must use your Apple ID to decide where messages should be sent because all users get all messages. This can make it very hard to organize a surprise party :-) -
How can I allow multiple users to edit a single shared iCal calendar?
Is it possible to allow multiple users to edit a single shared iCal calendar? I also want to provide different permissions to those users. Is this possible through .MAC? Is it possible on Mac OSX Server?
I would like 2 agenda synced through .Mac but it does not work.
I have 2 computers and 2 laptops. A very simple agenda with 3 calenders. Myself my partner and the office calender. I want to publish my calender and that of my partner. The office calender I would like to sync so that we can change the office calender at any location.
I set up sync only for iCall and have a .Mac account. When I change anything on any of the calenders in iCall nothing happens on any of my other locations. Even though the locations are registered as synced. I can see the sync wheel turning but at the end of it the calenders are not synced.
At this moment I fully understand the publish and unpublished calenders but have no clue what so ever what syncing does for iCall. There seems to be no functionality to it. It does not transport any calender info over .Mac. There is no visable check to see what is happening and the process of syncing is not transperent. Lots of my friends go to me for advise on Apple issues but as far as sync wether iCall or Addressbook I always tell them sync does not work and I have no clue why others have it working. I haven't met any people here in Holland either that got in working. I suppose with iCall you have to get third party software to share calenders editable calenders. Really hopeless situation, wish Apple would just have a manual stating what sync can do and what it can not. Hours wasted on this issue trying to get it to work.
Hope anyone here can help out. -
