You can share it with other Macs under your control (not your neighbor's).  You just need to be logged in under the buying AppleID for updates or to download again.

  • 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:

  • HT5527 Can I share my iCloud folders with others? If so, how?

    Can I share my iCloud folders with others? If so, how?

    This is something for the Apple engineers to answer. I too would like the ability to share folders and/or individual files a la Dropbox.
    I've written about some of my complaints with the service so far on this discussion thread: Ways to make competitive with Dropbox

  • Can i share my iCloud calendar with others? If so, how?

    Can i share my iCloud calendar with others? If so, how?

    do you mean, the 'Publish' option? That only gives me two options 1 mobile me, which is now defunct. and 2 a private server, which I don't understand. thanks!
    sorry, after a further read, the comment was about icloud not ical. I don't have icloud because I don't have Lion because it doesn't work well with FCP7. So I don't know how to share my ical. Can you help?

  • HT201317 I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    The new ios version of iPhoto allows sharing.  Here's a blurb from Apple's web site:
    There’s the old way of creating photo galleries, then there’s the iPhoto way. Select a group of photos and iPhoto automatically flows them into a beautiful journal that’s fun to personalize and share online. Touch a photo to make it bigger or smaller. Or drag it to a different spot on the screen. iPhoto adjusts the page around whatever you’re doing, so your journal always looks great. You can even add captions, maps, dates, and weather — giving family and friends the big picture at a glance.
    More things you can do:
    With iPhoto, there’s more than one way to share a photo. Post pictures directly to Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter. Play an impromptu slideshow on your iPad or iPhone. Or stream photos to your HDTV to give your big moments room to shine.
    I have not used ios version of iPhoto to share "journals" and I'm not sure this is part of iCloud or not.  You'll have to do a google search on "ios iphoto" and read up of this journal thing.  As far as I know, this is the only way of sharing photos.  I'm not sure whether other friends use a browser to view these journals or whether they need something special.  Any way - search around to find answers.

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

    My kids have their own user accounts on my laptop. Can I share my iTunes music with them? If so, how? If not, can they import their own music from cd's without opening a store account? Anything else I need to know? I appreciate any help you can give!

  • HELP! I STILL CAN'T SHARE MY NEW ALBUM WITH PHOTOSHOP GALLERY

    I've tried the advice given so far, and I still can't share my new album in my online photoshop gallery--even though I've already got about 12 other albums there.
    Through Preferences I got to Elements/ Backup Synchronization Services, and there I find that only ONE  of my 12 albums already IN the online gallery is marked "sync."  And the list of allbums under "My photos on Photoshop.com" actually INCLUDES the new album, but I can't check the "sync" beside the name of this album because the "sync" isn't highlighted.  On the other hand, all the OTHER albums are now in the online even though just one of them is marked "sync." Can anyone suggest something else to try here?

    Are you using a single catalog or more than one catalog?
    It’s only possible to sync one catalog with your Adobe ID.

  • Mountain lion upgrade for new iMac

    Hi All,
    I was reading about how if you purchased an iMac after 6/11, that you're eligible for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Customers must request their Up-to-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchasing their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 11, 2012 and the date when Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from the OS X Mountain Lion release date to make a request.
    However, I'm not seeing how to go about requesting the upgrade. Here's the url that talksa bout the free update.
    http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/
    Any ideas?

    I would guess that a page would go live once ML is released.

  • Mountain lion upgrade for free.

    I can't wait to upgrade my iMac, I almost purchased the latest operating system, but after reading reviews learned that if you'd purchased your system since July of '11 it's free? Is this correct. I bought my 2010 model in Sept of 2011 and already recieved the Lion but I am really anticipating the many new changes. I just don't know how to get the latest upgrade for free! Do I need to get ahold of support during business hours? thanks, p

    Well shoot... it appears like my Mac may not qualify for AIR PLAY.. why the heck NOT. isn't that one of the big reasons I bought both the apple tv device and the mac? and the iphone and the ipad?? well that would be TWO ipads and like 4 iphones.. plenty sad that the airplay may not work like I'd anticipated.. It won't prevent me from getting the update,  but if not for the reviewers at the app store showing plenty of disappointment.. (anger even).. I'd have missed this little on info too. :-(

  • Purchased Mountain Lion upgrade for Snow Leopard ... but ???

    I paid my $19.99 and went through the process, but after my computer restarts the Download mountain Lion icon is still there, space on my hard drive is used and when I go to "About This Mac" it still shows that I'm running 10.6.8 and the Snow Leopard ico is still up on my desktop. I am computer clueless and that's why I run a Mac... now I'm baffled too... HELP!!!!

    Another curious thing, to me anyway, is that the 4.46 GB has disappeared from my total amount of available GBs, yet I can not seem to locate where it is stored... perhaps that is a simple thing, but not to me. Thanks all.
    In an earlier post you said that the installer file was in your Applications folder and that it was 4.46GB. Are you now saying that is no longer the case?
    Yes.. mine is 4.46, but yes.
    In reply to this.
    Do you still have this in your Applications folder? (Your copy will not have the green checkmark)
    And is it this size?

  • Mac OS X Mountain Lion unavailable for download in Nigeria Apple Store.

    My Apple ID is logged into Nigeria Apple Store but Apple says MAC OS X Mountain Lion is unavailable for download.....please advise.

    Thanks for the interest Dah*veed, much appreciated.  However, as you rightly mentioned, I'd successfully purchased the Mt Lion from  Nigeria MAS but paused the download due to low  speed. I'm currently in Europe hoping to resume  download, ONLY to  get the error "...... Mt Lion not available in Nigeria MAS".  I  tried to get the download going without any luck.  Kindly let me know what other options are there, if any.  Thank you.

  • Can I share one itunes account with two computers?

    I have an itunes account set up with one email address. It was originally set up on a PC and my two daughters have Ipods that are synched to this computer. I finally got my own ipod (yea!) and want to use it with my macbook. I tried to download songs using the same email and my purchased songs were not able to be played on the macbook. Can I share this account or do I need to set up a separate Itunes account for the macbook?

  • Can you share iCalander/Address Book with other users and restrict them from seeing certain entries?

    I'm doing some research for my boss concerning iCloud. He would like to setup a way to syncronize iCalender and the Address Book between three users but keep his personal information private. For example, he wants to be able to update his calender from his phone about an upcoming meeting/project so that the three computers at work are all updated and see upcoming events. Same goes for the contacts. If he adds a new contact or if I add a new contact, for a client or whoever it may be, he wants it to sync up for everyone. At the same time, if he adds a personal event to iCal such as, "Dinner with the girlfriend" or something irrelevant to work, he doesn't employees to be able to see that. My first idea was to setup an iCloud account but I'm wondering if you can even restrict certain things within an account.
    Anyone have any other ideas? They would be greatly appreciated.

    iCloud appears to provide no Address Book sharing. You might be able to do this through Google, but it would be likely to be all contacts or none.
    iCloud allows you to share calendars privately (editable if you wish) to other iCloud users or publicly (non-editable) to anyone - they would need a CalDAV client to read it, such as iCal or Google Calendars.
    You share individual calendars, so private events should be in their own calendar which is not shared.

  • Can I share my address book with other user profiles on my computer?

    My wife and I both logon to our iMac with different user accounts. However, we know all the same people and would like to share the contents of the Address Book. How do we go about this so that if I add a person to the address book, that my wife will see it when she gets on with her account?
    Thanks.

    I realize yours was a suggestion to investigate & not a recommendation, but I wanted to point out some of the method's potential problems in case it was taken as the latter.
    Should anyone decide to take the safer option of sharing vCards manually, they can make the procedure easier by creating a shared folder in Users/Shared & an alias of it in some convenient location like the desktop. Then, after creating new contacts they want to share, they need only drag them from the name list into the alias. The other account holder(s) then can drag them from that common folder into their own Address Book.
    A variation of this idea is to create individual folders in each ~/Public/ folder (changing permissions as appropriate), or to use the Drop Box folder to make the vCard available to other user(s). This would reduce the confusion between "incoming" & "outgoing" vCards. I haven't tried it, but it might also be possible to automate the importing or at least notification for the receiving user with folder action scripts.
