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)

  • 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).

  • How can I share music between 2 different users on the same macbook pro?  Same apple ID on both is no good.

    I shouldn't have to use "match" yet another thing to pay money for.  I've been reading other discussions and can't figure this out.

    Home sharing is and was on in itunes in both users.  I get different music in each itunes but they are both logged in to the same apple ID.  I would have thought the exact same library would pop up.  Why woudl it be otherwise?  Strange.

  • Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

    Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer? My kids iPods are under my account now with all of our shared music but they want their own iTunes accounts. I would like to transfer the music and apps that they purchased under my account to their new accounts... Is this posible?

    Did you enable the display of system files and hidden files and folders?
    by the way, how can i stop this from happening another time.
    Make a backup!
    i had music there for over 6 years.
    Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.

  • 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 you share music between computers and seperate ipods?

    I would like to know if I could share my itunes with someone on a different computer and with a seperate ipod. Me and my sister (who's in college) would like to continue sharing music because we usually split the cost of cds.
    My main question is: Is it possible to share one itunes account with multiple ipods that can be accessed from any computer?
    What we would like to do is continue sharing music without having to wait until both of our ipods are in the same location and using the same computer. It would be nice if I could get into the same account as her and when she adds music I also receive the music and when I add music she gets it as well.
    This may be an impossible request but I have been searching the forums for hours trying to figure it out. If someone could please respond, even if it's not possible, that would be VERY helpful.
    Thanks.

    What you want is not supported with iTunes. You can both use the same account on different computers but what one downloads or adds will not be available to the other. If you are separated by location then CDs or DVDs recorded as data files are the best option. Record the files to disk then mail the disk. As long as you are both authorized to the same iTunes account I don't know of any issue with that.

  • Can you share music between two iPods?

    my sister just got an iPod, and she wants some of my songs from my iPod without bying them online... both accounts are on the same computer, and i was wondering if it's possible to kind of copy and paste my music to her ipod with out deleting them from my account... if it is possible, can you please reply and tell me how to do this? thanks

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • How do I share music between 2 iTunes libraries on the same computer?

  • Can you share music between itunes accounts

    I just currently purchased an Ipad for my daughter to use at school.  I need to set her up for her own account, but in doing so she will lose all of her music when she syncs her ipod up to that account as well.  Is there a way for me to have her Ipod sync or download the music from the cloud and then have both her ipod and ipad on her own itunes account? 

    An iTunes library can hold media from multiple accounts. iPods and iPod devices are limited to protected content from up to five different accounts. Apps and movies are generally protected, most music won't be unless it was purchased quite some time ago. Ideally I'd suggest you make a clone of your library for your daughter to take with her, then see can keep what she wants, discard what she doesn't and start using her own account here on out.
    In the event that she is using the device independenly of an iTunes library see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Can you Share Scenes between projects?

    Can you Share Scenes between projects?

    Scenes are just for authoring convenience, they basically
    blank frames giving an end to one
    and beginning to another timeline so you can't actually
    define scene like you could a movie clip.
    What you can do however is to Copy frames by unlocking all
    the layers, highlighting all the frames
    and CTRL ALT C than open new file and paste the frames CTRL
    ALT V
    That's the only way to share the scene.

  • On your imac can you share documents between accounts?

    on your imac can you share documents between accounts? If I work on a Pages document can another account see that document and ber able to work on it?

    If you want to copy the file between users you can use the Public folder in your home directories. If you put something in the Public folder other users can see it and copy it out if they want to send something to you they can copy it into your Public/Drop Box folder.
    If you both want to be able to work on the same document you could use the /Users/Shared folder which is read/write for all users.
