Adding files from another desktop on the same computer

I am new to this discussion and I did a quick search to see if anything turned up similar to this question. My husband and I have our own desktops on our Mac; he has several songs that I want from his iTunes library and vice versa. We can't figure out how to add files from each other's library to save our lives. When I go to the import section of iTunes, I can get to his desktop, but there is a little stop symbol with a "-" sign next to his music folder. It is probably very simple, but short of burning a disc and doing it that way, I can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The stop/- sign means the folder is read protected. You can only (by default) use his public folder. To transfer items via copying them over the network you would need to log in as an administrator (most likley as his account) remotely. This will give you acccess to all of his folders.
If you want to copy between folders on the same machine you need to be an administrator. Try logging in with the admin account.
If you want to just share the music you can do that too. In OS X Preferences -> Sharing -> Firewall -> check the share iTunes Music checkbox.
In iTunes you would then need to go to iTunes Preferences -> Sharing -> Make sure both the share button and the "Looked for shared music" and "Share my Music are checked" are checked.
Do this two both machines.
And you should then see a folder in iTunes with the other music.
If you are on a network this works out well with out having to duplicate two sets of data/mp3s.
Hope this helps.

I would like to be able to sync from another ID on the same computer that sync now works on.

I have a laptop running XP SP2.
Sync was setup on this machine on an administrator account, and works fine. I usually run this machine from another non-administrator account. The device I am syncing to is an iPod Touch.
I would like to be able to use my existing Sync account.
When I start to add this device and am typing my email address in it does not let me complete the field.
I am running FF4 beta.
Could someone please assist me with this problem.

When you try to use the Mac side on your external monitor do you get a blank screen or do you see the aurora background?
It would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

How do I share a playlist from my itunes library with another user on the same computer?

I would like to share a playlist with another uuser on the same computer. We have separate itunes libraries on the same computer. How do gey my playlist from my library to hers?

I'm not sure, but maybe if you activate home sharing. It should also share playlists, not only files.
The only other way I can think of is to export the playlist and import for the other user.

UPDATING A TABLE WITH SAME INFO FROM ANOTHER TABLE ON THE SAME DB

0down votefavorite
I am trying to update a table with info from another table on the same db with same table name. I just want the info to be the same , no primary key or constraint involve just a straight replacement of records and I keep getting errors WITH THE TABLE not
being recignize. below is my query:
UPDATE
VNDFIL
SET EOBTYP
= VNDFIL.EOBTYP,
EDI_X12_835_VERSION = VNDFIL.EDI_X12_835_VERSION
FROM
AGERECOVERY
WHERE
VNDFIL.EOBTYP
= VNDFIL.EOBTYP
AND
VNDFIL
.EDI_X12_835_VERSION
= VNDFIL.EDI_X12_835_VERSION

Hi rotary,
If those two same named tables are in the same database then they have to be in different schemas. If you mean they are in the same server instance, then they may be in different databases, besides the "table not being recognized" error,
anyway you should use the fully qualified table names, that is database.Schema.Table(If across instances, ServerName should be prefixed) to avoid the table unrecognized error.
Using Identifiers As Object Names
With the fully qualified names, your update statement can be like below.
UPDATE
db1.schema1.VNDFIL
SET EOBTYP = srcTbl.EOBTYP, EDI_X12_835_VERSION = srcTbl.EDI_X12_835_VERSION
FROM
db1.schema2.VNDFIL srcTbl
WHERE
db1.schema1.VNDFIL.EOBTYP = srcTbl.VNDFIL.EOBTYP AND
db1.schema1.VNDFIL.EDI_X12_835_VERSION = srcTbl.VNDFIL.EDI_X12_835_VERSION
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

Load the library which doesn't contain the songs and drag them into the open iTunes application window. If you need to move them between different computer user accounts, put them into /Users/Shared/.

How do I copy iTunes purchases from one iTunes library to another stored on the same computer but with different apple ID's?

I recently set up a new iTunes account for my son by giving him his own Apple ID & own login on the Mac we own.
In addition I have an existing iTunes account with a different Apple ID & different login on the same Mac.
We would like to share some purchases but do not know how to copy or import certain files. The summary is two
different apple ID's, different iTunes libraries, on the same computer, but different parts of the hard drive.
Please advise. Thanks.

Sharing iTunes library with another user on the same computer

My husband and I use the same iMac and have the same iTunes login, but have different user accounts on our computer.
When I download things from iTunes, they only show up in my library and do not show up in his. In addition, the two libraries are not syncing. I want everything in my library to also be in his.
I have tried home sharing, and that is not working. I'm guessing that's because the two accounts are on the same computer -- rather than two computers on the same network. The only thing I can figure out is to manually drop the files in the shared folder. But it has to be easier than this.
Please help.

I typed "Share itunes library" into the search bar at the top of this screen by "Support" and found this:

How can I get iTunes to update play counts and file additions between users on the same computer?

I have placed my iTunes library in /Users/Shared/iTunes along with iTunes Music Library.XML
When I open iTunes, all the music is displayed correctly with playcounts etc...
The problem is, when a playcount or album info is updated it does not carry over to the other user on the same computer. The same with adding new files to the iTunes library...
How can I get iTunes to auto-update between users?
Thanks

I understand how to do that, I was looking to share all fodlers or a bunch of folders. I found out how to do it.

How do I import music from other libraries on the same computer?

We have four separate accounts created on our iMac for four different users. Each of these accounts has an iTunes library associated with it. I would like to be able to import music from one iTunes library to another. I would be grateful for any help!

To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

Rented movie from iTunes, but now the same computer is "not authorized"

I rented a movie from itunes. Now I try to play it on the same computer and it won't play, it constantly asks me to authorize the computer (a little odd i'd say, since I downloaded it with the same exact account). Then, when I select authorize this computer in iTunes, as predicted, it's already authorized. Yet another problem with the iTunes store, another $4 stolen from me by apple. My iTunes is up to date too. What gives? Another problem like this and I am def out of the apple ecosystem.

Hello JGSA1,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with the movie rental purchased from the iTunes Store. It sounds like you are doing everything correctly, and I understand your frustration with the continuous prompts to authorize the computer.
I recommend the following the steps in the following article for an issue like this:

Can I put songs in my library onto another library on the same computer???

I have a song on my library, and someone in my family wants it on his library ON THE SAME COMPUTER. Is there a way to put it on his library without him having to buy it for himself???
Please help me. I don't want to have to buy one for his library.

This question really is more about itunes and not about the ipod nano. Please repost this question in the correct forum that regards itunes and windows. THe correct forum is linked below.
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=800
You can try this. Does the second person have their own itunes music store account for the 2nd itunes library? What you can try doing is authorizing the purchased music from your itunes account to play on the 2nd persons library. Or it might be easy just to spend 99 cents for the 1 song.
