Can you share kindle books using family sharing?

Hi Charlie42,
Happy New Year! The link below explains how you can tell which purchased content is available to share using Family Sharing. Contact Amazon for more specifics regarding sharing their content. The Kindle app itself may be shareable, but the books may be considered an In-App purchase, making them not shareable. Amazon would be able to give you a definitive answer.

After you set up Family Sharing, the eligible songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps purchased by family members will be available to everyone else in the group. Learn what you can share with your family members.
If you turned on Share My Purchases, you can share most content that's also available in iTunes in the Cloud. You can share Music, Movies, and TV shows from the iTunes Store. You can also share Books that you downloaded from the iBooks Store, and apps from the App Store. The availability of each content type depends on your country.
There are a few things that you can't share:
Songs added to iTunes Match from outside the iTunes Store
In-App Purchases
Items that are no longer available on the iTunes Store
Items that were hidden
Apps that aren't shareable

I'm experiencing the exact same thing. Netflix, Youtube and everything else works perfectly, but I'm unable to wirelessly stream anything from my Mac, iPad, or iPhone. All on same wireless channel, all new updates, all have home sharing turned on. Never had a problem the last 2 years.

How can I share PDF documents in Ibooks

How can I share PDF between my Apple devices with Ibooks? I have on my Ipad a lot of PDF manuals that I want to see on my other devices so I don´t need to download them to Ibooks on every device. Sync is on in the setup but it seems only to work with books and not PDF.

No - it will not work with PDFs. You might consider another cloud service such as Box, DropBox, or Google Docs.

HT202213 can you transfer a movie rental via home sharing from pc to laptop?

I rented a HD movie to put on my iPod to then watch on my TV through my component cable, however when I tried to transfer th rental onto my iPod I got an error message saying the movie could not be moved, this could be due to my iPod software being outdated by the movie formatting, as my iPod is 3rd generation touch. I want to know if I can transfer my movie rental from my PC to my laptop, so I can watch it on there instead?

No. You cannot import music to an iDevice using Home Sharing. You sync music the iPad and you can only sync with one iTunes library.

Why can't I import songs from iTunes Home Sharing?

I have two Macs - mine and my dad's. Both computers have Home Sharing on and we are using the same iTunes Account.
We are able to see and play each other's music, but cannot import any songs.
Where other people seem to see a Home Share icon (the house), we only have blue playlist symbols.
Any ideas?

Restart both of your computers, and restart your Internet modem. Then try again. It may just be a glitch.

How can you share Contacts and use Family Sharing?

Still sharing 1apple ID & 1 iCloud from way back when. Kids were little, syncing was simple... turned off their device iClouds and synced apps, playlist, shows w/ iMac via usb. I loved having my contacts, bookmarks, notes synced via iCloud and it became VERY handy when kid1 got an iPhone (appointments, practices, friends #s w/ ease!) We've recently added a macbook and another iPhone to the mix, we've got music issues & iPads ringing.... so a potential overall may be due?
Now that Family Sharing is here, it's still missing features that we USE:
* Notes (grocery list, packing lists...)
* Contacts (each family member has a 'group' name, they add to their group and the family's master list is 'all contacts' for anyone to access incase of emergencies.... anyone keeping up w/ kids lately?!)
* And the ever present iCloud icon is a looming feature for anyone, any age in the shared-family to be too curious...
* CAN any of these features be added along w/ Family Sharing?
HOW do I set up a simple family sharing system w/o interfering w/ bookmarks, personal notes, FaceTime/msg crossovers :
share our purchases (apps, music from our iTunes/playlists, podcast),
share our calendar
share our contacts
share a family notes
msgs/facetime for each member
mom: iphone, ipad, imac
dad: iphone
kid1: iphone, macbook
kid2: ipad
kid3: ipad
Thanks to anyone that has this set up and will share the method to my madness. Didn't know where to post this, sorry about that.

After having burned the AudioCD from iTunes Menu Advanced choose "Submit Track Names ..."
That will put the data of your CD into CDDB.
It may take between some hour and a few days until it is recognized on a second computer through CDDB.

Can you share audio books in itunes match

I just signed up for Itunes Match and the upload is done but I don't see my audiobooks that are in my library. Any suggestions?

Hi,
You should be able to sync your audiobooks either with wifi or USB. Ensure that the media type is Audiobook.
Whilst you cannot sync music with match turned on you can still sync Audiobooks.

Can you save PDF Document Properties in InDesign PDF Presets?

It's great to be able to save my PDF settings as an export preset in InDesign, but inevitably, I still have to open my PDF in Acrobat and adjust the initial view in document properties. Does anyone know if it's possible to include any of these settings in the InDesign export settings, to save time? Thanks!

Hey there,
No, I don't believe it's possible to set the "Initial View" or other Acrobat-specific preferences through InDesign.

Can you share a harddrive with Itunes and other music applications.

So here's my issue....
I have been using PCDJ FX on a Windows based laptop for quite a few years.
So what I would like to do is basically beable to take my harddrive and plug it into my desktop and have Itunes use that music disk and then unplug it and put it on my DJ system.
now the issue is there is kind of a process to get the music ready for PCDJ which consists of:
rip the music to my HD
Run MP3Gain to set the Gain.
load it into a temp folder on my harddrive
bring up PCDJ to do the BPM scan to set the Beats per minute.
once this is all done I then go and place the music into it's proper folders such as Bass/breakbeats/bassnectar or 70's Rock/led Zepplin.
the problem that I found is after I do that if I take that harddrive back to Itunes it doesn't realize the new music is there.
is there a way to refresh and scan the folder for the new stuff so Itunes knows it's there???

Issues with iTunes Home Sharing using iPhone 6 Plus

Hi guys,
I'm having problems with streaming music and video on my iPhone 6 plus from my Macbook Pro (mid 2010 model) using iTunes' Home Sharing . I am able to stream without any issues using my iPhone 4S and my Apple TV, however.
I am using iTunes version 12.0.1.26, iOS 8.1.2, and OSX 10.9.5.
Using my 6 plus, I am able to connect to my iTunes library, both music and video. Album art shows up for music but no cover art for the videos. So, all in all, I am able to see the contents of my library.
However, when I try to play songs, a couple things may happen. First, nothing plays for about 10 seconds; then a second or two of the song plays followed by silence again, appearing as if it's buffering. Second thing that may happen is that a second or two plays immediately followed by silence. If I press next to play the next song, what usually happens is that nothing plays, although the song title does appear.
As seen in this video, I don't have any issues with my WIFI connection or internet speed, as demonstrated using the iPhone 4S and Apple TV.
I have no clue as to why this is happening.
Hopefully someone could shed some light with this issue. Please feel free to comment. I'm open to and appreciate any suggestions while Apple tries to find a solution. Thanks.

UPDATE
So, after working with the guys at Apple, they were able to provide a solution. Now I have no problems using Home Sharing with my iPhone 6 Plus!!!
(I should add that I have the Linksys Advanced Dual-Band N Router (E2500))
The issue was fixed by giving one of the wi-fi channels a different name, thus splitting the channels into 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Then, I connected my iPhone to one channel (2.4 GHz) and my MacBook Pro to the other channel (5GHz). In this configuration, I have had no issues streaming my music and video.
It seems that the problem is some kind of interference between both devices when using the same channel (i.e., when both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channel share the same name).

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.
