Can share someone else iTunes library through home sharing?

Can share library's between two different computers on separate wi-if?

Both computers need to be on the same network and use the same ID for homesharing.

  • Can you add items to your iPad from your iTunes library through home sharing?

    Sorry I'm a novice to this.
    Say I have a video in my iTunes library and I would like to add it to my iPad so I can watch it when I'm not at home without hooking the iPad up to my PC and syncing.
    Can I do this through home sharing?
    Thanks

    Sorry, I miss-typed in my previous post. I meant to say you can't use homesharing to transfer content. (dictation got it wrong, but I should have checked). In order to transfer content from your iTunes library to your iPad, you would need to connect it to your computer via USB or Wi-Fi if you have Wi-Fi syncing enabled.
    To enable Wi-Fi syncing you must first connect your iPad to your computer with the USB cable and then turn Wi-Fi syncing on in the settings within iTunes.

  • HP Envy dv4t (Windows 8) can't pick up Dell's (Windows Vista) iTunes library through home sharing, but the Dell can pick up HP's

    I just got an HP Envy dv4t and it runs windows 8. My desktop, which is a Dell windows vista has all of my music on it. I'm trying to use home sharing between the two, but my HP won't pick up my dell's library, but my dell will pick up my HP's. I've tried everything imaginable and still no luck. At first, my HP would pick up my Dell library but it wouldn't load. Now it doesn't even have the library under Home Sharing. Please help!

    I have been having exactly the same problem with my Fujitsu vista running desktop and my new Toshiba running windows 8

  • IOS devices can't see entire iTunes library via Home Sharing

    Using both iPad 2 and iPhone 4s to view iTunes library on my iMac via Home Sharing. Both see very limited amounts of Artists/Albums from iMac library. Also, both see different Artist/Albums. p.s. I used Home Sharing for 3 yrs w/o problems, before this.

  • Video app hangs on loading iTunes Library through Home Sharing

    Hello,
    On my 4th gen iPad I try loading my iTunes Library, which is on a mid-2011 iMac. Home Sharing is configured and working, but when loading my library it hangs during load. See attached screenshot. The library is huge, but that shouldn't be a problem right?

  • How do you connect ipad 2 to itunes library using home sharing

    How do you connect the ipad 2 to the itunes library using home sharing so you can listen on your ipad 2? I've seen directions for the ipad which tell you how to setup home sharing then open ipod and touch library in the left column, but when I hit library, nothing happens. I'm assuming the ipad 2 has something different about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    PS, the OS is 4.3.3 (just got it but it's not on the os list)

  • Is there any way to hide certain artists/albums in my iTunes library from Home Sharing?

    Is there any way I can hide some of my music from other people, like my sister, while they are accessing my iTunes library with Home Sharing?
    I have a few personal recordings that I don't want anyone but me to have access to.
    Is deleting them from my library the only option?

    It's not an ideal solution ... but have you considered creating a second library (called, say, "Private Library") containing just the personal recordings?
    To create the private library, hold down the shift key while launching iTunes. Click "Create Library" in the dialog that comes up.
    Once you've created and opened the "Private library", don't activate home sharing for it. Now go "Edit > Preferences". In the "Advanced" tab, select "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library", as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click OK.
    Now add the personal recordings to the Private Library.
    To get back to your original library, quit iTunes. Hold down the Shift key while launching iTunes ... but this time click the "Choose library" button. Browse to the iTunes library file for your original library and doubleclick that. You should now be seeing your original library.
    Delete the personal items from your original library.
    Now, in order to see those recordings in iTunes, all you have to do is do a "Choose library" when launching iTunes, and open Private library. Because Home sharing isn't activated for Private library, your sister won't be able to access those recordings. (She won't be able to access your original library either, though, when you have Private library running.)

  • Why can't I play AUTHORIZED content through Home Sharing?

    I have 2 laptops, one is a doomed Win and the other is a blessed Mac.
    I tried home sharing for the first time and to back up my content to my Mac. Both are authorized to play the same content, HOWEVER, some TV shows just won't play (and of course if you can't play it through home sharing, you can't copy it) and I keep getting the authorize computer message!
    Any idea why that is?
    I can't believe that I had to go over my music, playlists and shows one by one before I can move them into the other library, not to mention that I've purchased those items myself under my account!

    If the computer is accessible via home sharing, then it should be possible to simply browse to that computers drive as well.
    Simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer. 

  • Why can't I get album LPs through home sharing to my other computer?

    I had just setup itunes on my second computer using the same account through home sharing and it all work well. I then bought an entire album from the itunes store with the LP. The LP automatically got on my first computer and is shown on my second. However i can't access it on the second computer. The text is faded as if it were being downloaded, but it isn't.

    When you go to such a place you need to do two things:
    Settings > WiFI ... select the place's network and enter the password.
    Generally (not every time, but very frequently), the place will have a "Terms and Conditions" you must agree to in order to use their WiFi.  Those Terms and Conditions will appear either once you enter the WiFi password, or as soon as you open Safari.  Let them appear and agree to them.

  • How can I transfer my whole iTunes library using home sharing? At the moment it is only sharing a few songs from each album.

  • Why can't I access my desktop library through home sharing on my laptop?, Why can't I access my desktop library through home sharing on my laptop?

    I just bought a new laptop and it has the latest update of itunes as does my desktop computer. I have turned on home sharing on both devices and am signed in to my account yet I cannot access my itunes library from my desktop on my laptop. Can you help me?
    Ollie

    If the iTunes Library.itl file is also on the external drive, try launching iTunes while holding down the Shift key, and when the dialog window opens that allows you to create a new library or open an existing one, choose to open an existing one, navigate to the folder that contains that library file and select it.
    If that works, note for the future that if you launch iTunes when that external drive isn't mounted, iTunes will default back to the normal location on the internal drive and you'll have to repeat the Shift-launch process.
    Hope this helps.

  • I am unable to access one of the iTunes libraries through home sharing

    I have 3 computers in my home and we all share music. However suddenly I am not able to access one of the libraries from the other computers. This was never an issue before. What happens is when I click on the library that is giving problems it shows like it is loading the library and then it goes back to the library for the computer that was trying to access the other one. The home sharing is enable and the latest version of iTunes is running. Any suggestions?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Question On Transfer iTunes Library Via Home Sharing

    Hi everyone, so basically the situation I'm in is I got a new PC laptop to replace my Macbook Pro and I want to be able to sync my iphone, ipod and ipad with the new library on the PC.  I've already gone through transfering my entire library with all my music and apps etc using home sharing.  My question is would I be able to connect my ios devices now and without a problem sync it with my PC?  I'm afraid if I do connect it I will lose my contacts and pictures on my iphone.

    You can use these instructions to move the music to a new computer.

  • I added music to my library through home sharing, but am not able to play them on my ipod

    I used home sharing to add music to my iTunes library (Windows 7) from another computer (Mac). I can play the music directly from my library, but it won't sync with my ipod touch. When the ipod is connected to my computer, the songs are greyed out in iTunes and they do not appear on the ipod at all.

    iDevices are not designed to sync to multiple computers/libraries.

  • Is there anyway to sync videos shot from an iPad to an iTunes library using home sharing instantly?

    Hey everyone. So at work we are trying to figure out another way to shoot speeches and have them available for the customer to review instantly. We were thinking about using Home Sharing to do this, to sync these videos to an iTunes library. However, it seems to only work the other way around, from iTunes to the iPad. The problem is is that when you take videos or pictures with your iPad they go immediately to your camera roll. Is there any way to sync videos you have taken with the iPad to iTunes using Home Sharing? Thanks!

    Not sure about the Home Sharing method.
