Does home sharing allow me to share my iTunes library with other users on the same imac

Does home sharing allow me to share my iTunes library with other users on the same imac?

Apparently so (as long as each user operates out of a different Mac User account).
After setting up home sharing in the various different user accounts on the Mac, you need to have iTunes open in the account that you want to Home Share from.
Now use fast User Switching to get into the account that you want to Home Share to. Launch iTunes in there. The library in the other account should appear as shared for you.

Does home sharing allow my husband and I to share our itunes content? If so, how do we do that since it requires the use of the same Apple ID and password on each device to do so. His itunes is linked to his email and mine is linked to my email...

Does home sharing allow my husband and I to share our iTunes content? If so, how does this work? From what I've read to use home sharing the devices/computers all require the same Apple ID and password. My husbands iTunes is linked to his email/password and mine is my email/password. So if that's the case how to we go about sharing? God I hope that makes sense.

All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

Does Adobe Send allow you to select how many days your files can be downloaded - as with Adobe Send Now? Also, why don't I see the virus scanning message any longer with "Send" versus "Send Now"?

We relied upon the "days available for download" to get people to take
action more quickly. The "virus scanning" progress bar was simply another
way of knowing this activity was actually taking place - unless this is
written somewhere in the Adobe Send User Guide.....wherever that is.

HT3819 Does Home Sharing count as part of my storage quota on iCloud?

I would like to be able to share my (very large) iTunes music library with my family. I have ripped my entire CD collection, and I'm sure many of the albums are not available on iTunes. Will Home Sharing use my iCloud storage quota? If I have to purchase extra storage in order to share the disks I've already purchased, then I will not be using Home Sharing. We used to be able to share CDs by...sharing CDs. No need to pay extra!

Home Sharing is between computers and devices on a local network, not iCloud, so it shouldn't affect that.

I have home sharing on my main computer turned on. But I can't access it from my other computer, ipad or apple tv. I don't even see the home sharing tab on the left side tool bar on my main computer. Can someone help me figure this out?

How do I get this to work properly?

HT4557 Does home sharing work for apps? The instructions make it sound as though home sharing really only allows you to stream content.

Does home sharing work for apps? My young son received iPad mini for Christmas, and I don't want him to have to repurchase the games and other raps I'd already bought for him that are resident on my iPad.

does Home Sharing allow you to copy any item begtween libraries, including CDs you have ripped yourself
It certainly allows you to copy ripped CDs. Just did that myself last week.

Does Home Sharing Transfer Physical Files?

We set up a Mac Mini in the home simply to act as a music server, so my wife, kids and I can all have access to the same music. We chose a dedicated machine so that it always had iTunes open and running to allow access.
We are trying to avoid building up tons of files on our personal machines, rather, we want any iTunes purchase to go onto the Mini.
If we have a home share setup, and we purchase songs on a local machine, does home sharing physically move the files to the other machines on the home sharing if we set it up to automatically transfer new purchases?

i don't see the point of not copying the content because otherwise the original homeshared library would have to be constantly connected in order to play the content.

Does home sharing transfer Game Apps too?

Hello, I have been having some trouble with my Ipod Touch (just FYI i'm not very familiar with Ipod technology) which now seems to be clearing up. Since I have got my ipod working recently, I have been left behind in this age of technology. I do not know what generation my Ipod is. I have a new computer now, i authorized it (assuming that it meant my Ipod would be able to get along and be friends with this computer)then explored the itunes interface a little more. That is where I found home sharing. I collected that by activating this, the stuff from my old itunes setup and other stuff would be transferred to this one. I looked into my purchases and noticed a great amount of my apps were missing in this category. The apps are still on my Ipod, some of them need to be updated(which is why I am trying to update my ipod) only my most recent purchase is located in this file. I have near 12-15 apps (game apps)on my ipod. If I choose to transfer the items from the library to my ipod, will there be a copy of everything from the library to my ipod? Will my current apps be deleted? Please respond, thank you.

Home sharing lets you stream content (movies/music/etc) from your computer to your ipod. It does not transfer them there. It streams them.

You can transfer itunes purchases, including apps from your ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
It would be easier to transfer everything from your old computer or your backup copy of the old computer, to the new one.

Does home sharing only work if you're connected to the wi-fi?

Does home sharing only work if you're connected to the wi-fi? Im having very sporadic results with this. I thought Apple products worked. Home sharing is not working from my windows operating system to my iPhone 4S nor my iPad.

Does home sharing transfer EVERY song, or just purchased songs?

i am trying to find my songs. I have a desktop that i put itunes on, and all our ipods. I now have a laptop and installed itunes on that. (same account) I use the laptop mostly for my ipod touch, and the kids use the desktop for there ipod's. They purchase more songs than I do, but I want some of them songs.
Yes I know I could just go plug my ipod into the desktop and get purchased songs that way, but I want to be able to get them off my laptop. So I was trying the home sharing. I thought it was sucessful.
Does home sharing also transfer the songs from the library that were not purchased? Like the songs that were added from a cd? Cause those I can't seem to find on the laptop.

We are able to share imported CDs. In fact I got a USB record player so all my vinyl albums are being shared even though my 16 year old son doesn't seem too excited for my music :-)

HT202213 Does Home Sharing use up data allowance?

Hi,
Does Home Sharing use up broadband data allowance, or is the data streamed between iMac and Apple TV kept just within the home using the wireless router? I'm unsure as the info on Apple's site says homesharing requires an active internet connection.
All I really want to do is stream photos and music from my Mac to the HDTV as it has the sound system hooked up to it. I don't want to have to use iCloud for this, as I don't believe the satellite connection is consistent enough.
I'm concerned as I only have a 3GB monthly allowance, and am on satellite broadband, so service is a bit patchy.
Any thoughts/solutions greatly appreciated.
