Can't locate my photos, apps and music on my wife's iTunes via home sharing

Hi.  My wife and I share a macbook, with different user profiles.  To date we've been using the one itunes, on my wife's profile, but it plays up a bit, gets us confused etc, so I've set up a new itunes on my profile and am trying to import my music, apps and photos from my wife's itunes via home sharing (using her apple id in both for home sharing purposes).  But I can't seem to find her itunes library in my itunes library.  Any ideas?

Does anybody know how I can get iTunes to find all of my songs it their new folder without me doing it one by one myself? Thanks

    Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

    You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.

    However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
    So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
    Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
    P.S  audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

    So if i update my iphone, I will lose all of my photos, apps and music..correct? None of these things are saved on my computer [except some of the music]...

    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would any digital camera.  this is covered in the manual.
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    You should transfer all itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer:  File>Transfer Purchases.

  • HT3819 Can I transfer music from one computer to another via home sharing?

    Can I transfer my music from one computer to another via home sharing?

    So long as they are on the same wifi network, yes.
    Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
    Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
    Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
    If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.
    If there's a lot of stuff in the library you're transferring from, the transfer may take some time.

  • HT204053 A year ago I sat up my daughters iPod and used my Apple ID and password to do it, as I have an iPhone. She just got a iPad for Christmas and I sat this apple product up with her own Apple ID and password. Can we still sync her apps and music from

    Last year my daughter received an iPod for her birthday. I sat it up using my Apple ID and password that I use with my iPhone. For Christmas she got an iPad mini and it was sat up this time with her own Apple ID and password. Just wondering if there is any way to transfer or sync the apps and music that she has on her iPod to her iPad even though they have different apple IDs and passwords?

    Unfortunately, you can't transfer content from one ID to another.

  • How can i transfer ALL my apps and music back to itunes

    idont know how to transfer all my apps and music back to my itunes after my friend wiped the computer out. HHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPP

    iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Then connct the iPod to the computr and make a backup by right clicking on the Pod under devices in iTunes and select Backu Up
    - Restore from that backup.
    Note the backup does not contain apps, music and other synced items.

  • HT1495 My wife and I both have iPhone 4 we have different apps and music as well have different iTunes accounts but we share same computer when we update our phones to iTunes it gives me her apps and stuff on my phone is there way to prevent this

    My wife and I only have one computer but we each have iPhone 4 everytime either of us update our phones it gives me her apps and visa versa we do make sure we sign in our iTunes account first is anything can do to prevent that from occuring

    Also, make sure you have "Home Saring: on your computer's iTunes and all devices turned off.

  • I loaded Win 7 on my laptop and didn't back up my phone to I tunes. I loaded IOS 6 to the phone and it needed to sync. The Itunes didn't connect to my account phone factory reset. I have logged on why can't I get my apps and music back to my phone?

    I loaded Win 7 on my laptop and hadn't loaded I tunes yet when I updated my phone to IOS 6. It needed to sync and had to factory reset. I have loaded I tunes, logged on yet still can't get my apps or music to load on my phone again? I have added the I tunes back-up to the folder on my newly loaded PC? Any suggestions before I go to the apple store and use the F word.

    The same thing happened to my poor sister, and she is panicking because of all of her photos of her "daughter growing up" that will be lost.  It seems that this has happened to several people already, and I REALLY hope that Apple figures this out so that it doesn't force all of these people to completely reset their devices.  Best of luck to you, and I am bookmarking this and other similar discussions to monitor for other, more desirable solutions. 

  • I accidently hit the restoe button! Is there anyway i can get my apps and music back? I need help thanks

    I accidently hit the restoe button! Is there anyway i can get my apps and music back! I need help thanks:)

    Try restoring the iPod from backup. See the restoring section of the following:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
    If the apps and music are in your itunes library just sync them back to the iPod if necessary.  If the apps and music are not in your iTunes library see the following.  Not all options are available if you are outside the USA and do not have the latest iOS and iTunes.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How do i get my apps and music i've lost e erything arfter updateing and i've tried restoring.

    .

    You can redownload apps at no additional cost.  See:
    How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    You only get one download of music and videos and it is up to you to back it up.  Music, videos and the apps themselves (app data is) are not part of the backup and is synced to your iPod at the end of an update.  It appears the the apps and music were not in your iTunes library and thsu would not be restored to your iPod.

  • To user accounts - how to merge without loosing apps and music?

    On the family Windows computer we have a couple of user profiles (correct term?). The kids each set up their own and me and the Ms. share one. I have an itunes account and there is also one on one of my childs profile. They are both tied to the same itunes/apple store account, but have different collections.
    My son has an Ipod Touch and is finding that he can't sync because if he does there is a message that he will loose apps and music (or something like that). He mostly downloads via his Touch. He has lost a few songs when he tried to sync to back up.
    Basically he would like to be able to sync and backup his Touch.
    Any thoughts on how he can do this without loosing apps and music?

    I assume you mean your itunes library ( music.etc) as your account is only a username and password.
    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.

  • I updated my iPod Touch 4th gen. with ios 5 and all my apps and music disappeared. What to do?

    This afternoon I updated my iPod Touch 4th generation with the iOS 5 update. I left the computer alone for about an hour, since that is how long iTunes said the update would take. When I came back, all of my music and apps were gone. Why did this happen? Is there any way to fix it? Thanks for the help.

    - If in the USA you can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are signed into the same iTunes account the orignally purchased them.
    - It appears that the apps and music were not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update.  Music and the apps themselfes (app data is in the backup) are not part of the bckup hat iTunes makes as the first step of the uPdate.  Apps and music are synced from your iTunes library during a latter part of the update process.
