Can i share music between two iTunes accounts on the same computer

I know you can share the library with 'home share', but can you copy the titles to the account sothey can be loaded on to an ipod / iphone?
Or have i got to load any required music on to the computer a second time?

This should help:
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
Note that when it says "publicly accessible location", it needs to be a place where everyone has read and write access. The most common such place is the Shared folder in the Users folder, but you can place the music elsewhere if you change the access permissions manually (don't start tinkering with permissions unless you're confident you know what you're doing and can reverse things if they get messed up). 
Regards.

  • How do I share music between 2 iTunes libraries on the same computer?

    I have 1 iTunes account,1 laptop and 2 iPods that are each sync'd to their own library.  How do copy music from library 1 to library 2?

    Home sharing is and was on in itunes in both users.  I get different music in each itunes but they are both logged in to the same apple ID.  I would have thought the exact same library would pop up.  Why woudl it be otherwise?  Strange.

  • Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer?

    Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer and if so how do you access them without syncing each others music?

    Yes. Use separate iTunes libraries(launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down as needed), or different user accounts on the computer.

  • Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same macbook pro?

    Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same MacBook Pro?
    Specifically, I used the Migration Assistant to move music and photos from my old PC to my new MacBook. 
    Somehow, I missed the fact that it was creating a new user account when it was doing this.  So none of music and photos are in the user account I originally set-up.  Instead, all these files are now in a different account.
    I'd like to consolidate all my files on the one user account and delete the other one.
    Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
    Thank you.

    you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has.  Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
    I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

    What do you mean by, "synch two itunes accounts"? You don't sync iTunes accounts.
    WHat are yoru trying to accomplish?
    iTunes account= Used to make iTunes purchases.
    iTunes library = All your media and what you see when you open iTunes.

    Yes. Either create and use separate Windows user accounts, or launch iTunes with the Shift key held down as desired.

  • Using the same photos and music between two user accounts in the same Mac

    Hi,
    I think this question might have already been asked in the forum.
    1. I have one MacBook Pro and two user accounts (One for me and one for my wife)
    2. We are having two seperate iPhones with seperate AppleIDs
    3. We want to maintain the apps / calendar / mail / reminders / contacts as seperate - Through iCloud (Seperate Apple ID approach) - All this is fine
    4. All we want to have it shared is the Music files and the Photo library without duplicating
    I have tried the shared folder approach for the music and having the iTunes point to that directory for the libary location in the preferences but unfortunately if she adds a folder to the library mine does not get updated unless I do a add folder to library and vice versa.
    Whats the best way to deal with the Photos / Music sharing between two user accounts on the same mac
    Thanks

    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.
    To give others selective access to your iPhoto library, you have the option of using iCloud Photo Sharing, if the privacy implications don't bother you. The images will be stored temporarily on Apple servers.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support articles linked below.

    iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    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.

  • How do you share music between two iTunes accounts on one computer?

    My wife and I share a Windows 7 laptop computer.  We have separate Windows logins and separate iTunes accounts.  When we had separate computers we were able to use Home Sharing to share our music but this doesn't work when you have two accounts on the same computer.
    Is there a way to share our music libraries without wiping out what is already stored in our individual iTunes music libraries?

  • HT1473 Please help!How to put two iTunes accounts on the same computer?

    I have an Ipod and my mum has an IPhone. The songs from my IPod are backed up on my computer and we would like to have different music, but both backed up on the same computer. How do i do this without erasing all the music etc that is already on my mums phone?

    Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, create a new library, and import her song files to it. Alternatively, create a new user account on the computer, move the song files to a shared area, and then import them.

  • Purchased music from multiple itunes accounts on the same computer

    I mistakenly opened up two itune accounts and have purchased music using both accounts. The problem is that itunes won't let me download my purchased music from one of the accounts to my ipod. It will download all of the music from account "a" but none from account "b". Help please.

    Hey chawk32,
    Just play the purchased content from account B in iTunes. That should make a authorization dialog box pop up. After authorizing the computer iTunes can transfer that data to the iPod.
    You can also click store inside iTunes then authorize computer.

  • Creating two iTunes accounts on the same computer

    I'm moving in with my girlfriend. She has her own iTunes library on her computer. I have downloaded all my music and applications from my iTunes library on my computer to my iPhone. I want to be able to download all music and applications on my iPhone onto my girlfriend's computer while keeping it separate from her music, apps, etc. This way, we hope to be able to manage her iPod and my iPhone from the same computer without worrying that iTunes will sync my music onto her iPod or that my apps won't get deleted by getting synced with her account.
    Is it possible to do this? If so, how? Perhaps this is a dumb question whose answer is right in front of me. But as yet I have been unable to figure out if/how using the online iTunes tutorials. Any help anyone can provide would be appreciated.

  • How do I share music from different itunes accounts in the same Mac, in different users account on that Mac with different iPhones?

    Hi
    My wife and I share the same Mac.
    She has her session and I have mine thus each of us has our iTunes session with our own music and settings.
    She has her iTunes account and I have mine too.
    And..;)...she has her Iphone and of course I also have mine.
    So, the big question:
    Both like music that the other has bought but we do not want to buy it twice! (through her account and mine).
    Is there a way to share music I purchase so she can have it in her iTunes session and therefore have it also on her iPhone when she syncs..and of course viceversa for me too?
    It goes without saying that although we like music the other one has, we do not like all of the music, so basically we want to have the possibility to share those special songs we like so we can have them both in our phones and individual Itunes sessions.
    Was that clear or I lost you???
    Any answer will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    First of all if you havent done it yet i think u shold authorize the mac on both accounts on itunes. You also can switch the accounts on your Iphones at itunes while you are in the internet adn download the music.
    This is just an idea you should think of. For sure there are other ways I dont know.
