Can you download music to networked home shared labtop?

Ok, I finally got the home sharing to work on my laptop...My itunes is on the desktop computer and I home shared it to my laptop... I updated to the latest version on both.  Now when I burn a new music cd to the desktop computer, it also show up in my library on the laptop.  So say I want to download a song that is on my laptops c drive to my itunes library.. how do I do this?  I tried to do it and it goes straight to the music library... so then I tried to drag it over to my (shared) library, and I get this circle with a red line thro it... I am confused, why won't it let me?  I even backed it up on a cd and it wouldn't go to my shared Library... what is the point of this home sharing?  just to listen to music or what?  Does this mean I will have to do all of my downloading of music on the desktop still?  and you know on the laptop, under file it doesn't even list burn playlist to disc, why not? 

For purchased items you can select in settings (next to the import button at the bottom of the Home Share page) to automatically transfer new purchases.
This will not work for ripped CDs. I use the import function.
First select the view in Home Share to Music and then filter it by selecting not in my library. Select the songs I want and click Import

  • Can you download music from your Mac to your Samsung GS3?

    Hello out here...
    Just wanted to know can you download music from a Mac to the GS3?

    If you are using iTunes (an assumption on my part because you are using a Mac) transferring music becomes more difficult.  If the music doesn't have iTunes typical DRM protection, you should be able to drag and drop songs to a music folder on your phone after plugging into your computer.  If everything is exclusively in iTunes, there is also an app in the Play Store called Double Twist that I've heard works really well (never used it personally) and even has a wireless sync mode.

  • Can you download music from IPad to IPod?

    CAn you download music from your Ipad to your IPod?.

    Not directly no. If they are iTunes purchases and you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you might be able to re-download them directly on your iPad - or if you have iTunes Match then you should be able to.  Otherwise you will need to sync via your computer's iTunes

    You can now!
    Recently Music, Movies was added to the iTunes Store. Soon Games will be added (we are hopeful) and then most likely commercial books.

  • Can you download music straight onto your ipod nano 7th generation without the use of a computer?

    so can you download music straight onto an ipod nano without having to sync to a computer, i'm just wondering because my dad wants an ipod but just for music so there's no point him getting an ipod touch, and he doesn't own a computer so he wouldn't be able to sync. he doesn't live with me also so it would be a pain if he had to use my computer every time he wanted to add music to his ipod.
    thankssss

    No. Sorry. The only way to transfer the music to your ipod is through syncing in iTunes. Cheers!

  • Can you share purchased books with Home Sharing?

    Can you share purchased books (from IBooks) with Home Sharing? Music seems to share fine-books seem to be a problem.

    In iTunes go to Preferences > Sharing and either share your entire library or make sure the Books playlist is checked.
    You may then need to click the Import button to copy the book into your Library, I was not able to actually read the book without taking that step.

  • Can you download music to burn on cd with photos as slide show?

    Hi, I have a funeral for my father in law in less than 12 hours and I am trying to find a site that I can download the music to my desktop, combine it with photos and create a slide show for the services.  I need to know if I can do that with Apple if I buy the songs one and two; can anyone tell me how to combine the 2?  I have all the photos ready, I just need to obtain the music.  Any expedient assistance would be so greatly appreciated.

    If you have an iOS device the iMovie app would be perfect. You can probably do something similar with Windows Movie Maker which should already be on your computer though you may need to convert the format of the audio files before adding them in. I can't offer detailed advice for either but YouTube will no doubt have some short tutorials.

  • Can you share music between 2 Apple ID's on the same network?

    Can you share music between 2 Apple ID's on the same network?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can share content between 2 libraries that have different ID's for the iTunes Store, yes.
    You need to make sure that both libraries are using the same ID for home sharing though (from the File menu)

  • Recently updated the the apple tv remote app for my iPhone4. Now can no longer turn on the apple tv "box" on/off using iPhone app.  Only thing that shows on iP screen is music library.  Home Sharing is on. Any help appreciated.

    Recently updated the the apple tv remote app for my iPhone4. Now can no longer turn on the apple tv "box" on/off using iPhone app as I used to do before the update.  Only thing that shows on iPhone screen is music library.  Home Sharing is on. Any help appreciated.  Sorry if this is not exactly the right place to post this!

    One clue: I have found a reliable way to solve the problem when it happens.
    In my network, I have the main Airport Extreme (Gen 1) which is connected to my router, which distributes IP addresses to my internal subnet.  The other two AEs (one Gen 4, one Gen 5) are set to extend the network.
    When I get this problem with an AppleTV 2 that can "see" my library, but when I try to open it, it says it couldn't find the library, it seems to have to do with a change in which Airport Extreme it's talking to.
    If I restart the main Airport Extreme from the Airport Utility, effectively restarting the entire wireless network, then when the network resumes, every AppleTV 2 is happy again.
    Unfortuntely, the problem does seem to recur - but I'm wondering if it's because temporary interference leads an AppleTV 2 to try to connect to a different AE, and somehow that's mucking with the Home Sharing.  Remember, internet access (Trailers, Store, Netflix) have no issues.  Purely Home Sharing.

  • Can you download a music DVD to iTunes

    I was just wondering can you download a music DVD to iTunes?

    (1) If you're talking about commercial, copyright-protected DVDs, you should be aware that it is illegal in many counties, possibly including yours.
    (2) If you're talking about commercial, copy-protected DVDs, you should be aware that providing advice on breaking copy protection schemes is illegal in the US, where this forum is based; posting such advice would break the forum's ToU, and hosting such advice would make Apple liable to prosecution.
    (3) If you're talking about DVDs which are not copy protected and whose copyright holder gave you the licence to copy them, then you may use Disk Utility. Once copied, you can play the content using DVD Player.
    For common DVD, i think hanbrake can meet your needs.
