Can I share Other itunes data between Computers?

I have an imac at home and a macbook pro for work. I would really like to be able to share the apps that I have bought and the Movies etc.. between the two machines.
In a similar way that I do with my imac and my ipad..
Can I do this?
I have the icloud sharing of my music files.. but thats it..
Just music files
Thanks

If they are both authorized to your AppleID (which a work-owned computer might not be) you can, easily.
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
If they are not authorized then you might have limited success with hand-copying files to a flash drive.  Supposedly DRM has been removed from music files and they do not need authorization, but movies would need for you to authorize the computer.  Can I Put Multiple iTunes Accounts on My iPhone? - http://techtips.salon.com/can-put-multiple-itunes-accounts-iphone-3518.html

  • Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly   Thanks anyway!

  • Can I share one iTunes Library between 2 different Windows Users?

    I'm having syncing issues (discussed in a different post) with using my 2nd Gen Shuffle and 30G iPod video from the same instance of iTunes. Previously I tried creating a 2nd user on my Windows PC and using my Shuffle with another instance of iTunes loaded by the 2nd user. This worked fine, but I would like to avoid the necessity to rip my CDs to both user's iTunes instances.

  • How can I share my itunes libraries between two users on different log ins on the same PC?

    Ive recently bought my wife and iPhone 4, and we have a shared library. But she clearly downloads her own apps and music choices direct from the store to her phone, so wants to maintain her own log in etc. How can I share the library in my iTunes on my log in on the same PC to her iTunes on her log I'm on the same PC. its windows Xp machine with latest itunes version.
    Ive followed the online instructions for sharing thus far, and the share library does not appear in either iTunes. ie It aint working!
    Thanks in advance

    When you say you have a shared library... you mean you have a networked external hard drive that you are sharing?
    In iTunes, generally...when the term Shared Library is used, it's speaking to sharing a specific computer's library over the network with different computer.
    I would think it would be better to do what ya'll have been doing (one log in acct/one computer) and have her create her own Apple acct and each of you log in and out whenever purchasing music apps etc. and then setup individual playlists and pick specific playlists to sync with each individual iPhone.
    If you don't want each other to know what you're buying then...disregard what I just said

  • Can i share my itune account between 2 computers

    I have an Iphone on my home computer and a Ipad just purchased for work. Can I use my work computer and home computer to manage both devices.

    IPhone and ipad will sync itunes content and pics with one and only one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone.

  • How can I share my iTunes library between user accounts in iTunes 11

    Since upgrading my iTunes library to Version 11 I can no longer share the library between user accounts on the same Mac.
    The 2nd user is asked to create oir use an iTunes library, but when it is pointed to the Media folder it cannot share it.
    Previously in iTunes 10 it all worked fine.
    How can this be done please?
    The library is in a shared areas that we both have Read/Write permissions to.

    Copy it to his computer into his iTunes library and authorize his computer with the iTunes account used to purchase them..
    You cannot tranfser items from one iTunes account to another. Purchased items remain part of the iTunes account is was purchased with.
    iTunes account - used to purchase items
    iTunes library - where purchases (and CD RIPs) go on the computer

  • How to share one Itunes account between computers

    I'm trying to figure out how to actually move music in Itunes from one computer to another. I have the same account set up on both my desktop and laptop and I can access music from one on the other when they are both signed into Itunes. However, I would like to move some music from the desktop onto my laptop. Can I do this without hooking them up together (i.e. firewire cable, or whatever you would normally use)? Thanks!

  • Can I share my iTunes library between more than one device with different Apple ID's?

    I just got a laptop and decided to set up my own Apple account apart from the one my family shares.  I still want a lot of the music on my family account but don't want to buy it all over again.  Is there a way for me to get this music in my new account? If so, how do I do this? I am looking for the best and simplest answer.

    Yes, if they are not DRM protected
    Open itunes, connect device, select what you want to sync, sync.
    DO the same for your other devices.

  • Transferring Itunes data between computers using an external hard drive.

    I just bought a new laptop and an external hard drive. What is the best way to go about transfering all of my 1400 songs on Itunes from my old computer to my new laptop using the external hard drive? I have purchased some songs from Itunes but mostly they were not bought there. Thanks in advance.

    The guide for using the iPod as a hard drive is a good starting point. Just skip on past the part about enabling the iPod as a hard drive and read from "Is all the music together?". Substitute "external hard drive" for "iPod" and the instructions are the same: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

  • How can I share my iTunes library with 2 iTunes accounts?

    How can I share my iTunes library between me and my wife?
    I do not want to set-up 2 seperate accounts on my mac. Do not want to do home sharing or anything like this. 
    I just would like to connect my iPad to ONE itunes library and at the same time connect my wifes iPad to the SAME itunes library. Can this be done? How? Thanks! Maybe the answer is something really easy like "just connect both to the computer and sync them".
    Thanks!

    Plug them in and use them.
    That is all you need to do.
    In the answer from Apple I do not find anything about how the 2 exisiting iTunes accounts will be handled.
    They will be handled fine.
    All purchases from both iTunes accounts can be sync'd to both/either iPads with no problem.
    I have three iTunes accounts (me and two daughters), 3 iPhones, an iPad and a few iPods.
    Any/all content can be sync'd to any device, no problems.

  • 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:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93063
    This one is for moving all your music using an iPod as a storage drive

  • Can i share an iPhoto library between 2 computers ???

    Can i share an iPhoto library between 2 computers, it I store my library on a AS drive connected to an AirPort Extrême Base Station ?

    on a AS drive
    Do you mean NAS drive? No.
    iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
    Will it be wireless? That's good for viewing but...
    A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries. 
    Regards
