Can You Home Sharing Between Two iTunes Accounts

Hi,
My Dad has a vast amount of music on his itunes account and my old iPod used to be linked up to his account. But recently I got a iPhone 4 and I created my own iTunes account. I would like to be able to listen to the music on my Dad's account as well as the few songs I've purchased on mu account. Can I use home sharing (or something similar) so that I can listen to his music and my music on my iPhone?
Thanks in advance!

Simply enable Home Sharing with the same iTunes account info on all devices.
You still make purchases using your own iTunes account.

  • Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same macbook pro?

    Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same MacBook Pro?
    Specifically, I used the Migration Assistant to move music and photos from my old PC to my new MacBook. 
    Somehow, I missed the fact that it was creating a new user account when it was doing this.  So none of music and photos are in the user account I originally set-up.  Instead, all these files are now in a different account.
    I'd like to consolidate all my files on the one user account and delete the other one.
    Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
    Thank you.

    you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has.  Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
    I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

  • Can i share music between two iTunes accounts on the same computer

    I know you can share the library with 'home share', but can you copy the titles to the account sothey can be loaded on to an ipod / iphone?
    Or have i got to load any required music on to the computer a second time?

    This should help:
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    Note that when it says "publicly accessible location", it needs to be a place where everyone has read and write access. The most common such place is the Shared folder in the Users folder, but you can place the music elsewhere if you change the access permissions manually (don't start tinkering with permissions unless you're confident you know what you're doing and can reverse things if they get messed up).

  • Home Sharing between 3 itunes accounts on one Mac?

    We just brought home a MAC computer and our family has 3 itunes accounts. We would like to be able to access all 3 accounts on the home sharing feature for our apple tv's and our iphones. Is this possible?  If so, how would I set it up?
    Thank you!!!!

    To keep 3 iTunes accounts you will need to use 3 user accounts on the Mac. Yes you can use home sharing with all of them but you must use the same ID for homesharing (not iTunes) on all of them. You can only home share with the active account at any one time.

  • Home Sharing across two iTunes accounts?

    Hello. My wife and I each have two separate iTunes accounts. Is it possible to configure iTunes to Home Share across both accounts? Thanks!

    I think I have the same question, but when you say home saring are you talking about on an Apple TV? My wife and I have an imac with seperate profiles, each profile has an itunes account, and we want to be able to both be able to access our itunes from the apple tv.  We went under itunes and > advanced > and clicked on turn on home sharing for both accounts, we see each others libraby when logged onto other profile, but can't get the option on the Apple TV. We also went into I-tunes preferences and turned on sharing. I also beleive under the advanced option menu there is a place to share photos, (from i-photo). Hope this helps.

  • How do you share music between two iTunes accounts on one computer?

    My wife and I share a Windows 7 laptop computer.  We have separate Windows logins and separate iTunes accounts.  When we had separate computers we were able to use Home Sharing to share our music but this doesn't work when you have two accounts on the same computer.
    Is there a way to share our music libraries without wiping out what is already stored in our individual iTunes music libraries?

  • Can you put apps from two iTunes accounts on one device?

    I just got an iPhone from work. I would like to put some apps I got for my personal iPod on it, but I also plan to purchase some work-related apps using a work-account (charged to the company card). Is this possible? From what I understand it would be possible to put apps I purchased for the iPod onto the iPhone, but I can't find if I can then use a new account to purchase more apps for the iPhone.
    Can someone let me know if this would work? Otherwise I'll just buy the apps using my personal account and get reimbursed (not as neat, but I can't use the work account for personal apps!)

    Yes, you can do that.
    You just have to remember from which accounts you bought which Apps when updating them, as you won't be able to update an App bought in one iTunes Account from another iTunes Account.
    As far as purchasing new Apps goes - just log-in to the required iTunes Account on the computer you sync your phone to (which should only be one computer), purchase the Apps then sync them to the phone. If you want to purchase Apps from the other iTunes Account, log-out in iTunes then log in with the other iTunes account.
    It might just be easier to purchase everything through the one personal account though...

  • Can you have more than one iTunes account with home sharing, Can you have more than one iTunes account with home sharing

    Can you have more than one itunes account at one time with apple tv

    My understanding is that the home sharing is based off of being on the same Wifi.  So if someone brings their laptop to your house and connects to your Wifi and they have home sharing on they can connect so you can see his/her iTunes library on your iTunes. 
    I haven't tried this though.  We have two laptops at home, both using my iTunes account and I can see each other's iTunes library, which I'm guessing is what you're probably doing now.  I'd be interested to know if my thought above is true.

  • TS2972 is it possible to use home sharing between two users on the same computer?

    My wife and I have itunes accounts and want to be able to share music we have each bought on our accounts. We have tried setting up the home sharing on our PC but it doesn't show up on the screen. Can anyone please help?

    "Is it possible to use home sharing between two users on the same computer?"
    No. Home sharing is used to connect two running instances of iTunes across a network. When you switch users on the computer all applications running on the other profile are suspended.
    You can however share your respective media folders so that they are visible in either profile and then copy over any content that you want, or you could create a single joint library which you use when either user is logged in.

  • Can music be shared between two devices with different apple IDs?

    Can music be shared between two devices with different apple IDs?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    iTunes content can be commingled in the iTunes library on a computer and synced to iOS devices. The computer must be authorized to use the content from the respective Apple IDs in the iTunes Store menu.

    can you have more then one itunes account on an icloud?

    I Have two iTunes accounts because I spend half the year in Canada and other half in U.S.
    I Just  switch the country. I have to do this because an iTunes card purchased in the U.S. Is not valid in the Canada store. And Vice Versa.
    i Also have two icloud accounts. That is what I don't know about.
    Do I need two? Can I have all my purchases in each country under one account?
