Duplicate Songs?....sharing between two acounts

I am able to share music libraries between two accounts on the same mac, but is it possible to permently move selected sections of one users music library to the other persons account without having to dublicate the songs? I have tried making a alias of one of the libraries and moved to the other users music folder but that did not work?
Thanks in advance,

  • 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.

  • Configuring SMTP Namespace Sharing between two Exchange Forests on the same LAN

    Hi guys, really hoping that someone can help me with configuring SMTP Namespace Sharing between two Exchange Forests on the same LAN.
    Basically, I have created a new forest and installed a new exchange organisation in this forest.  Both forests are located on the same IP subnet and a two way trust has been created between the forests.  Federated sharing has also been configured. 
    I can use ADMT to migrate the user and computer accounts to the new forest and also migrate test mailboxes over.  Ideally, I want to be able to do the mailbox migrations in stages so will need to be able to have mail flowing between the two forests. 
    I have read over the following article (http://ibrahimnore.wordpress.com/2012/09/06/configuring-smtp-namespace-sharing-between-two-exchange-forests-part-2/)
    which is good but it's demonstrating over the internet, can anybody advise how this can be achieved on the local LAN? 
    Any help greatly appreciated :-)

    Hi Gilliano,
    Thanks for correct link. I must say this is a very good article indeed, I read the entire article and if you go to the 3rd part of this article, please note the text "DOMAINC.COM is configured as Internal Relay Accepted Domain on both the domains"
    This is exactly what I asked you to check. Personally, I understand the method described in this article will work but its very complex to manage and administer, while the easiest option is to configure internal relay at the first place and no need to make
    so many DNS changes and customizations to your environment.
    The solution really depends on what your requirement is - Since you mentioned that you are migrating stuff over from source to destination - I feel this article is too complex for your situation and not really worth (for your requirement). The setup described
    in the article is an excellent choice if you are planning to keep both forests alive for longer duration due to several reasons like compliance or company mergers and so on...
    please let me know if my explanation is not clear enough.. we can even even have a one-on-one email conversation too!
    All the best!
    Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. Regards, Siva

  • Wireless file sharing between two MacBooks

    I feel like this is kind of a silly question, but here goes:
    Is it possible to set up wireless file sharing between two macs when there is no wireless network available.
    For example, if I am on a plane (with no wi-fi) and wan to wirelessely connect to my partners macbook to browse his hard drive, can I do it? Right now, I use a firewire cable when flying, but would love to not have to.
    Thanks for the help.

    Yes, it's possible to do.
    You setup one of the Macs to act as a base station of sorts. If you've got the AirPort Status menu shown you can just use the 'Create Network…' option in that menu to create a new wireless network hosted on this Mac. Just tell the other Mac to connect to that network using the name and security credentials you specified when you created the network, and you're done.

  • 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.

  • Sharing between two accounts on the same Windows Vista PC

    Is it possible to home share between two different accounts on the same computer?
    On my son's account, iTunes for some reason won't connect to the iTunes Store.  So I would like to enable him to purchase stuff on my account and then use home share to access it.  We both use the same Apple ID at home. 

    By accident I came across a solution that may work for you. This works on a Mac but I think it should work in Windows as well.
    On the Mac, if I log into a user account and launch iTunes and then use Fast User Switching to log into another account leaving iTunes running in the first account. I can then launch iTunes in the second account and access all the media stored in the first account's iTunes library using Home Sharing.
    I believe Windows has the same ability that allows one user to log into their account while another user is already logged in. If so you may be able to do the same thing in Windows. I'm not sure what happens in Windows to running application when the second user logs in though. If applications are allowed to continue running then I don't see why this shouldn't work in Windows as well. If applications are paused then I can see this not working. The key here to to not log out of the first account therby forcing the applications to stop running.
    The downside is that your son would first have to log into your account and launch iTunes before logging into his own account. If giving your son access to your account password is not ideal you could also create a third computer account that both of you have access to that would be used only to store and buy iTunes content. That account could be used as the sharing account that you both can have access to while logged into your own respective accounts.

  • SMTP Namespace Sharing between two mail system

    I have used two mail server (Exchange 2013 and Linux sendmail) for mailing in the same domain like abc.com.
    I have converted authoritative domain in to internal relay for sending mail in Linux mail user, and create a send connector point to Linux mail system as a smart host. in that case my exchange user send mail to Linux user and internet via Linux smart host,
    then I create a receive connector in exchange server for receiving mail from Linux mail system as edge transport custom connector & permission set to anonymous, when Linux user send mail to my exchange user it queued in my exchange message queue and
    the error is:
    Last Error:A local loop was detected.
    What's the problem?

    Hi rana78,
    As Nathan mentioned, please create Contacts.
    Detailed information:
    So to avoid NDRs when using shared SMTP namespace you will need to either disable recipient filtering, configure the product to do LDAP queries against all directories that share the namespace, or create Contacts.

  • Tried to setup Shared between two MacBooks, now cannot login to either

    I tried to setup a sharing folder between two MacBooks at home, both have Snow Leopard and with the latest software update, but when I turned off both MacBooks then turned them back on, it will not go pass the white Apple screen showing it's processing, but does not go to the login screen.
    What can I do to login back into my MacBooks?
    Thanks
    -Erica

    Ok, I don't follow that.
    You selected the Hard Drive and Get Info.
    Now, did you click the Shared Folder check box, or did you go to Sharing and Permissons and make changes?
    changed the shared settings to a folder on both MacBooks
    There is no ability to change settings to a folder from the Get Info panel. You can add a user and give them specific access, or change the current user's access rights, but not indicate a folder.

  • Can I create a wireless LAN and file sharing between two household Macs?

    I've got an iMac G5 running 10.4.11 and an Intel iMac running 10.5 and was wondering if I create a wireless Local Area Network and file sharing between my two household Macs?

    I have a network set up for my mom using an old blue iMac with an airport card as the base station. I'm using Tiger on the machine, but you should be able to do this on Leopard, too. She's 700 miles away, and I did it quite a while ago, but it seems I set everything up using the Airport Utility. At one point I think I had Internet Sharing on, too, but I don't remember if that's still on. Haven't needed to use file sharing on the network, but my G4 and her boyfriends MacPro happily use the network via Airport. I'm guessing you could share files that way. If it doesn't work, an Airport Express is a less expensive option for the router, at least cheaper than an Extreme.

  • Problem using DVD/CD sharing between two MacBooks

    Trying to share the DVD/CD drive between two MacBooks one running 10.5.5 the other 10.4.11. Both have the DVD/CD migration sharing update, and we've followed the instructions for setting up sharing between the two systems. They are both connected to the same wireless network. For whatever reason, we cannot see each other's DVD drive, there is no icon on the left hand side of the Finder window. We've RTFM, so if you have any additional insight into this issue, please let me know, as we're a little perplexed by the issue.

    I haven't done that kind of networking since OS9 days but I remember back then that connected drives were not part of the network. Of course OSX has come a long way so I'm likely out of date. I have read DVD drives are visible if you are connecting in Target Disk Mode.

  • Problem conecting  and  file-sharing between two net-worked macs

    I have a Mac Pro (in an out-building in my back-garden) and an Imac (in the house) connected by a long ethernet cable (must be at least 20 metres).
    I used to have no trouble connecting one to the other till recently. I still usually have no trouble connecting to the Internet from the Mac Pro using the Imac's internet connection (wireless). The problem is in clicking on the Imac connection to open it in order to share files (also using "connect to server" in Go menu).
    Much of the time (but not absolutely always), it refuses to connect, and I get a "failed connection message" (or something like "server does not exist" if using other method).
    Sometimes, I can connect successfully, not just as a guest but after entering admin password, and then short time later the connection will disappear. When this happens, the Imac icon previously visible in the finder window also disappears. Unplugging and replugging the ethernet cable has no effect. Once I was using Itunes shared library to play a song on the Imac, and the song just suddenly disappeared.
    Just now, after the Mac Pro-to-Imac conection failed again, I substituted my Ibook for the Imac in the house, and there was no problem at all connecting both ways between it and the Mac Pro. I then reconnected the Imac to the Mac Pro and it too connected fine. This proved at least that the ethernet cable was not at fault, but no doubt the problem will re-occur.
    I have tried experimenting with the Firewall settings on the Imac, e.g. to "allow all incoming connections" or to "set access for specific services"( the latter is my usual setting on the Imac), but it made no difference. Also, the Ibook has no trouble at all connecting to the Imac when the Imac firewall is set to "specific services" so why should the Mac Pro have a problem (I admit I am a little uncertain about the best setting for the Firewall, but believe "specific services" to be correct).
    File-sharing options in system prefs on the Imac are clearly properly set-up or there would never be any connection at all.
    Often, although the Mac Pro to Imac connection will not work, the Imac to Mac Pro will, although not today, when the Mac Pro icon similarly was not present on the Imac.
    As stated, I am pretty sure that all the time the internet connection from Mac Pro to Imac still works (Mac Pro shares Imac conection).
    None of this appears to make much sense and am wondering if anyone has advice.

    Hi,
    It might be me but I don't think I have fully understood the "My Name's iMac" bit.
    If you mean (my Name) iMac as opposed to (My Name) iBook or Shed computer then that is a separate issue I will describe below
    Does the "My Name" bit mean like mine does in this pic ?
    As you can see I have used the Edit Button to change the Name of this G4 to RalphG4
    In System Preferences > Network > (Connection method) > Advanced Button > WINS tab I see this on my G4
    I have in fact used the same "Computer name" here (As in RalphG4)
    My MacBook Pro has had the Netbois Name changed to Macbook Pro
    It shows in the G4 Shares as that.
    The Finder's Preferences are set to Display the Bonjour and SMB shares that I can see as I have a Mixed PC and Mac Network here
    (Currently only the MacBook Pro is On as well)
    SMB Shares are not on in the MacBook Pro settings so it shows as a Mac Server (Highlight and do a Get Info)
    Two Computers with Same Name
    In Bonjour when two computers end up with the same name (As my two did originally) these double name issue cannot be resolved and the computer may be "Seen" briefly before it then disappears
    I have not tried it with SMB shares on my two Macs having had issues with Bonjour.
    (Note: iChat goes one step further.
    Even if the computer names are different iChat uses the Name in the My Card spot in the Address Book to show as the Buddy Name in the Bonjour Buddy List.
    It cannot resolve this if both computers are logged in as the same Person.)
    Another reason why a computer may show up twice is how it or they are connected.
    Lets say that all are connected to a router either by Wifi or Ethernet.
    They will be then seen once.
    If one computer is connected by Ethernet and Wifi at the same time then it will be shown twice as each appearance is linked to the Media Access Card it is using and the IP it uses for each connection.
    This can also happen if one is linked directly to another with an Ethernet connection or Wifi whilst doing the other to the router.
    Back to the naming thing again.
    It is better to use the Edit Button (Arrowed in Blue above) (.Local Name) rather than trying to change the computer's Name (Ralph Johns's Computer) as this is less reliable in later versions of the OS.

  • Library Shared Between Two Users- Problems with Artwork

    My iTunes library is located in the Shared folder so that I can reach it from two different log-ins, and both have (or should have) the same access privileges, but for some reason I can only change the artwork when I'm logged into one of the accounts. When I log into the other account, the artwork options are grayed out. Any advice on how to fix this problem?

    The problem with that method is you are sharing the same set of media files, but you each have your own iTunes databases, so you get that issue where songs added in one account do not show up automatically in the other. Likewise, one account can delete stuff and the other account won't know.
    If you don't have a need to have both accounts accessing the iTunes library at the same time (meaning if you use fast switching, then each user would have to remember to close iTunes first), you can relocated the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the shared folder (not just the iTunes Music folder). Then use these instructions to open the library from that location...
    How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304447
    If both accounts use the above to point to the same library, you will both be using the exact same database files so what is done in one account is automatically there for the other account to see. However the downside is since both account use the same database files, you can not have both accounts running iTunes at the same time since both will be trying to access and write to the same file at the same time (bad thing). In addition, this also doesn't allow you to have different sets of playlists, playcounts, ratings, etc. Same database, so you would both have to see the same set of info including those.
    If you rather stick to the old method of the same media files but separate database files, then you will have to continue to manually add stuff to the other account after importing from the first account to the media folder.
