Can other files besides iTunes be shared?

Can imported CSs, MP3s, and converted vinyl be shared in iTunes?

The iTunes Home Sharing feature applies to any items in your iTunes ibrary. 
However, Home Sharing has an "Automatic Transfer" feature that only works on items purchased from the iTunes Store.  Other items have to be transferred manually.  See more info here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620

  • I have an IMAC and a IPAD 2 can data, files and Programs, be shared or tranfered?

    I have an IMAC and a IPAD 2 can data, files and Programs, be shared or tranfered?

    The Mac uses Mac OS X. The iPad uses iOS. These are two different operating systems and the apps written for one will not run on the other. Some Apple and 3rd party apps have been developed in both OSes. These apps can usually share data and files across the two OS platforms.

  • "other" files in itunes-help!!!

    When I plug my ipod touch to my computer normally from itunes we are able see how much capacity is left or how much capacity does songs fill.But when I looked at it, next to music, videos, photos, books...there is a part called "other" that fills 220 mb of my 8 gb ipod's capacity. I research this a lot and I even asked to an apple store but they can't explain it either and for other people this "other" file even fill 5 gb or lot more. So I really want to solve this problem. And some people says that itunes copy files 2 times but even it copies I wanted to know how can I fix it cause I don't know where it copy files. Also please don't say restore it cause it won't work. Thanx for reading and helping.

    Other is a variety of things including album art, contact info, application data. The amount you're describing sounds about right for the size of your Touch. If "Other" ends up being several gigabytes, it usually means a corrupt database. This can be resolved by restoring the Touch.

  • 'Other files' in iTunes

    My iPhone 4 (16GB) has recently been crashing alot as well as having a new issue where it completly locks up and vibrates non stop. Today I connected it to iTunes to discover that I had over 12 GB of files in the other section.
    I did a factory reset and upon my iCloud backup I have 4GB of other files on the reset before any apps have downloaded, what can I do and would you suggest I take it to a genius bar as it is still in warranty?

    If restore from backup did not help, then restore as new.
    If both of these fail, then make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • How to see what is in the "other" file on itunes

    I updated my iPhone about a week ago, and all my pictures got synced to itunes and of my iPhone. I cant find any of these pictures on i tunes or on my laptop. I think they are somewhere in the "other" folder on itunes, but I just dont know how to open it. It says it uses up 3gb.

    You don't open "other"
    This much other indicates corrupt files. A restore should resolve.

  • Can you file your iTunes movies on an external hard drive and still access them from itunes?

    Can you move your Itunes movies from the hard drive on hte computer (C drive) to an external hard drive in order to free up space on your main hard drive (C drive)?

    Yes.
    I have a 5TB iTunes library stored on a Drobo 5D.

  • HT1918 Not sure why I was directed to an article that explains something my 7 year old daughter can do.My problem is a ghost apple ID popping up in other apps besides itune and not even my ID.Where is the article about dead IDs haunting my Ipod?

    I was directed to this ridiculous article that was zero help. My problem is a ghost apple id from an account dead and gone.Ever since I created a new apple id I have been haunted by the ghost of accounts past.It creeps out of the closet and shows up in all sorts of apps asking for a password that I do not, nor did I ever know. Then I updated and synced my ipod touch with my pc-thats when it really hit the fan! I cant update apps or buy songs without giving them this password IDK. I am logged in w/ MY apple ID but when I go to purchase or update- this ghost id slams up to thwart my plans. what the flapjacks is going on? I understand I purchased these apps w/ this old id but the psswrd of that id was changed (it was my sons) after I created my own to use.He initially set up the ipod for me as a gift.Now he is out of the country and I have no idea what the old id's new password is.and why should I? when I have an id that was working fine?

    This makes sense to me. I think the issue is your misunderstanding. If you purchased an item, your Apple ID becomes tied to that permanently. So when you try to update that app, you need the password to the ID that 'OWNS' that application.
    Also, I suspect you have a different ID signed into the device, which is why you can't buy with your own. That article listed shows how to change the signed in account.

  • Is it possible to make other files besides camera roll?

    Just wondering if you can add more categories to the photo page besides just camera roll.

    If you use a Mac, create photo albums in iPhoto and they will sync to the iPhone (if you choose the option to sync photos on the Photos tab in iTunes). If you use Windows, organize your pics into subfolders within the folder you select on the Photos tab in iTunes as the source for syncing, and those subfolders will show up as albums on the iPhone.
    You cannot reorganize images on the phone itself - organization is done on the computer and synced to the phone.

  • Is there any other progam besides iTunes........

    That will work with my ipod shuffle??? I am fed up with trying to install iTunes!! Someone please give me some suggestions!!!

    You could get a third-party utility such as Anapod, Ephpod, or Xplay for handling the transfer. I haven't used any of these, so I can't make any recommendations. Note that these applications cannot connect to the iTunes Store. They also may not work with the most recent iPods, so confirm compatbility with your iPod model.

  • Other Apps Besides iTunes That'll Back Up All of iPhone's Contents?

    Hi. iTunes only backups or syncs in one direction, from iTunes to the iPhone but if you want to put the contents of the iPhone to the iTunes to overwrite what's on the iTunes, there's no feature yet for iTunes or iPhone to do that (anyone knows why Apple has not made that so?). I did wish it was straightforward and that you could just choose from or to which device you want to overwrite and you could see graphically the flow of data so you'd know exactly how it'll go about things.
    What other third-party apps could back-up your iPhone contents completely?
    Thank you in advance.
    Gbu.

    You're welcome.
    I'm just wondering supposing if you just got a new Mac with a freshly installed OS (or a freshly installed OS X without back up) and supposing you already have an iPhone (or any iOS device) first which is filled with photos, movies, sms and third-party apps already. Upon syncing with iTunes (blank) on the new Mac does it mean the iPhone's contents will be erased because iTunes only syncs one way, from itself to the iPhone? What's the solution for situations like this?
    Copied from my previous post.
    +*The iPhone is not designed or intended to be a backup storage device or a stand alone device, so there is no reason for a backup of all iPhone contents especially since the overwhelming majority of iPhone contents should be and remain on your computer's hard drive which should be included with your computer's backup.*+
    First and foremost, the iPhone is not designed or intended to be a backup storage device or a stand alone device. There is no excuse to not have a backup for all important data on your computer's hard drive - none whatsoever.
    When syncing iTunes content with an empty iTunes library, all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased. For the not too bright folks who don't maintain a backup for all important data on their computer's hard drive and namely their iTunes library or at least for some of it, iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone (selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes) are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced on your iPhone, which is why the transfer of photos from your computer is a one way transfer process only. Photos on your computer's hard drive should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data. There is no excuse for not having a backup for your computer's most important data.
    Any third-party apps (freeware if possible) that'll put the iPhone's contacts to OS X's address book and/or the SMS to OS X at least?
    Also copied from my previous post.
    +*Although your iPhone contacts are included with your iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. Your contacts should be available on your computer regardless - with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.*+
    Contacts are important data to most people, so contacts should already be available on your computer and be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data. With an empty supported address book application, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the supported address book application on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
    SMS/MMS are not synced - there is no supported OS X or Windows application to sync SMS/MMS. SMS/MMS are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. There are a number of 3rd party apps/utilities that provide for extracting this data from your iPhone's backup on your computer. Here is one such app/utility.
    http://mobilesyncbrowser.com/
    The photos are easier to back up using Image Viewer or iPhoto).
    iPhoto or Image Capture on a Mac can be used for importing photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll, but this is not a backup - not technically. Although photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, photos/videos on the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. All photos/videos imported from the iPhone's Camera Roll and from any other digital camera along with all other photos on your computer's hard drive should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data. Apple makes maintaining a backup easy or much easier with Time Machine.

  • Can I have multiple iTunes accounts sharing the one library?

    And if so how?

    I believe you're limited to syncing DRM'd items from 5 different accounts.

  • How many different Apple TVs can I share one iTunes Store account with?

    I currently have one AppleTV at my home, and one at my mothers home. We both share the same iTunes Store account, therefore we share the movies that each other purchase. I am interested in getting my father and my aunt and Apple TV as well, I want them to also be able to use my iTunes Store account. That way, if say my father and I both want to watch the same movie, we can split the cost.
    I also currently own an iPhone, and an iPad. I'm going to be getting my mother and father iPads as well. I want them to be able to use my iTunes Store account on those devices as well, and be able to stream movies on them.
    I know it says that your iTunes Store account can only be associated with 10 devices, but I'm wondering where Apple TVs fit into that stance. It's probably a stupid question, but I was just curious if the fact that it is iCloud changes anything.
    Essentially, I'm wondering if four Apple TVs, three iPads, one iPhone, and my one desktop computer can all stream my iCloud movie content, simultaneously. I doubt there will ever be more than two or three going simultaneously, but I just want to know the limitations before I buy these gifts for my family members and run into an unpleasant surprise.
    Thank you for your time,
    Charles

    as many as you can other computers with itunes accessing the shared ituned lib
    likely the limitation is the network bandwidth more then number of connected devices

  • Can I make an itunes library available to two apple tv's with out a server?

    Is there a way to have a centralized storage unit available to the my apple tv's with out having a server up and running all the time?

    You may see some network storage devices which purport to have an iTunes server. While these can show up in iTunes as shared libraries, AppleTV can't use them as configuring AppleTVs relies on iTunes actually running and entering numeric codes to 'attach' the devices.
    While the computer seems to be a logical 'free' media hub, many people don't want a computer on 24/7 or use laptops, so some kind of standalone device would be useful.

  • I can import music to itunes but cannot sycn to ipod

    I can import files to itunes, but cannot sync to my ipod classic?

    glutius
    My problem exactly, for over a year.  I now have new songs on my updated iTunes but stilll have my old (but different) songs on my 2008 Classic iPod that I don't want to lose. 
    I just read that the latest iTunes update may have solved this problem.  Is this true?!?  I've been dealing with this problem for such a long time now, I'm afraid of even trying to re-sync without more information.
    Does anyone have the latest info on this?
    Glutius, I'd like to know if/how you solved this issue and I wonder if anyone has found Wondershare or Emicsoft to be helpful?  Help

  • Can't delete files from iTunes File Sharing

    iPad, IOS 8.1.3
    MacBook Pro Retina, OS 10.10.2
    iTunes, v12.1
    I'm trying to delete files from iTunes. In this instance, I have files I made in Pages, via my iPad, I have learned how to move them to my computer without using iCloud, which I prefer. Now I can't get them off of the iTunes app on my computer.
    I have deleted them from my iPad and from my computer but they are still in the iTunes app on my computer. To see these one must plug the iPad into the computer. When iTunes, on the computer, opens, choose Apps from the side bar, (under settings), scroll down to File Sharing, pick the app, in this case Pages and there is a list of all the files, (docs), still on the computer, within iTunes.
    If i drag one of the files to the desk top on my computer and clic on it it will open. This is true for any of the apps under File Sharing.
    This seems very insecure to me and it also appears to take up space on my iPad.
    Anyone know how to get rid of these files?

    Hi,
    I had an orhpanded link to a networkshare which does not exist anymore. With the "cmd" key pressed down I was able to dump the favorite to the trash.
    Thank you.
    Cheers
