Can playlists be shared?

I am sharing iTunes across a MacBook, Powerbook, and iMac G5. No problem in finding the big iTunes library on the iMac from the others, but is it possible to share Playlists? Or even to rebuild playlists on the 'slave' computer from the 'host' computer's library? Otherwise, it's really awkward to select, e.g., all the songs from one opera, in the right order, just to play the whole of that opera.
This seems such an obvious question ....

Thanks for the thread...I was looking to do the same thing.
The solution does work well.
However, I have one complication. It seems that the playlist may only be shared if the other user is logged on and has iTunes running on their panel/machine. I'd like to access those playlists any time.
Any help is appreciated
thanks,
vince

Need help with sharing - Can't see shared playlist

I have my songs on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit computer. I turned on home sharing and selected a playlist to be shared. I'm trying access the shared content on a Windows XP and a Vista machine, but I cannot see the shared playlist. The Vista machine can see the shared content from the XP machine though. For a brief moment, I saw the shared playlist on the Vista machine, but when I clicked on it, there was nothing there. Then it disappeared. All 3 computers have been on for hours with iTunes running. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with Windows 7. Maybe there's some network setting I need to change. I can access files on my Windows 7 machine from the XP machine. Same with the Vista machine. So the home network seems to be working fine. Thanks in advance.

I've narrowed it down to Windows 7's firewall. When I disable the firewall on my Windows 7 machine, I can access the shared content. When I enable the firewall, sharing immediately stops working. I checked to confirm that iTunes is on the allowed list of Windows Firewall.

I can't see "shared" on sidebar... everything is checked though

everything is in place for my home sharing however i can not see "shared" on my mac laptop but i can see it on my pc desktop

Hi Mariah ~
It's Shaunn, the original poster. Thanks for your posting. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's having this problem.
Now that you mention it, I'm having the exact same problem on Facebook as well, when I play Family Feud.
I wish someone would investigate and post a solution to this problem. No-one from Playlist has responded, and no-one "Officially" from Firefox either.
So Mariah, I appreciate you and your post.
If you find anything out...from anywhere...would you please let me know. You can post it right here and I'll get an email from Firefox.
I'll do the same for you.
Enjoy your day and good luck.

You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

I can see the shared library, but it will not open, need help

I can see the shared library, but when I try to open it, after a few seconds of trying it throws me out. Need help

You can not change the date of birth on the account. Apple makes that clear up front when the account is created.
The only way to "fix" this is going to be for him to create a new account with the correct information. Any apps purchased with the old one will need to be re-purchased with the new account. They can not be transferred.

Hi. I purchased a new ipad mini and my brother already has iphone 4,so how can i avoid sharing the same contents that are on his phone? Will creating an other apple id help us in seperating our facetime and icloud accounts as we share our laptop to sync ?

Can books be shared with other family members devices?

If you mean books purchased through iBooks, no. I beleive B&N offers that feature, but only on a VERY limited number of titles.

Can't add Shared Member using API

I would like to create a lot of shared members.Using API I do it as following according to documentation: ESS_MBRINFO_T MbrInfo; memset(&MbrInfo, '\0', sizeof(MbrInfo)); strcpy(MbrInfo.szMember, (char*)mbrName); MbrInfo.usShare = ESS_SHARE_SHARE; sts = EssOtlAddMember(getOutline(), &MbrInfo, ESS_NULL, hMbr, &hNewMember); When I try to add shared member, then sts = 1060051.So I have to change names and after correct them manually.Using HAB API I can't add shared member too.Regards,Georgy

How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?

How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?
So far if I set it as above then shared does not show up? I have to set the firewall to set access to specific applications and services to get access to my windows based hard drive.

Ok I solved it myself. Not an ideal solution as I have to connect it manually each time but it will do... Unless anyone has a way to have it auto connect when I start the mac.

When I updated to iOS 8.3 I lost all shared photo albums on my iPad Air. Other devises which I shared to still have access to photo albums but my iPad does not, therefore I can no longer add or delete to shared albums. I can create new shared albums.

Hello JimS19,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If you are having issues accessing your Shared Albums from your iPad (but not from your other devices), you may want to double-check your iCloud Photo Sharing configuration as outlined in the following articles, just to make sure it hasn't changed:

I can't access shared drives and printers

My home has been wired with ethernet cables, so there are ethernet jacks in every room. There is one central place where they all the ethernet cables meet to connect to a hub and a cable modem. At this central place I have a D-Link 802.11g router connected to the hub. At the other end of my home I have a Airport Extreme base station connected to an ethernet jack. I have WEP password on the base station.
My problem is that when there is a password on the base station I can't access shared drives and printers. I can only acces them if I am connected with a wire or I connect to the secured (password) D-Link Wifi router that is connected directly to the hub.
What do I need to do to be able to access the shared drives and printers and keep my base station secured?
Thank you.

Whether or not you can access devices on your cabled network via the Airport Base Station is not dependent on whether or not wireless security is configured on that base station. Instead, it requires disabling the router built into the Base Station. See the article ABS as a wireless access point

Windows XP PC can't see shared files on Mac

Our Mac Pro running OS X 10.5.8 can access all the shared folders on our Windows XP PC. In addition, all our other Macs can access the shared folders on our Mac Pro.
However - the XP PC cannot access any shared folders on the Mac Pro!
Any ideas how to fix this situation, and allow the XP PC to access our Mac Pro's shared folders?

If your Mac Pro has FileVault on, your Windows XP machine will not be able to access the files, as FileVault disables SMB and printer sharing for Windows XP clients.
In case FileVault is not on, you could try temporarily disabling the Windows firewall and the anivirus and/or internet security suite on the WinPC, and see whether it can access the files on your Mac Pro.
Good Luck.

Can't open shared library .../libnmemso.sl

Hi,
I have RAC with 2 nodes of 10.2.0.3 on ASM, platform is HP-UX 11.11.
On both nodes I've installed EM agent (version 10.2.0.3) by entering command
./agentDownload.hpunix -b /opt/oracle -c "node1,node2" -n CLUSTER_NAME -l
EM shows only some part of information about both instances and no information about OS and platform. Also I see message "java.lang.Exception: No such metric" on page of this cluster.
Also there are errors in emagent.trc of agents on both nodes:
fetchlets: Could not load library '/opt/oracle/agent10g/lib32/libnmefos.sl' for reason 'Can't open shared library: /opt/oracle/agent10g/lib32//libnmemso.sl'
Both libraries are exist and available for reading.
Is there any workaround or fix about this?
Thanks in advance.
