Home Share with two accounts.. a little help

Just bought my first iPad and I have an iPhone provided by my company so I have two accounts.. can I share my personal music with my company iPhone?

You can use homesharing with different iTunes accounts.
The device will need to be authorised or associated with the other account and all devices will need to use the same Apple ID for homesharing, regardles of which ID is used for the iTunes account.

HT3819 Can you home share with two libraries on the same computer?

Can home share be used with two libraries on the same computer?

iTunes must be running for home sharing to work. There is no way to have home sharing running simultaniously for two users on the same computer.
Simply add the media files using File > Add File/Folder option in iTunes.

Can't import from home share with same account

Hi all,
I have this really annoying problem that some of the content of my iTunes library on one computer cannot be imported to the other one, because "this computer is not authorized".
That is, of course, bollocks.
The scenario:
MacMini Server = mac1
Macbook Pro = mac2
- Both machines have itunes signed into the same account
- Both machines have home sharing enabled
- mac2 is the "master", it's where I buy music etc. and mac1 is the machine I use to stream off at home, it's always on etc.
When I purchase anything new, I can transfer those purchases just fine via the import function. However, I have probably about $200 worth of music in the mac2 iTunes which _plays fine_ on mac2, however, it is not transferrable to mac1 due to mac1 not being authorized (but it is).
Is it possible I purchased that music with a different account and somehow managed to authorize mac1 to play it? If so, how can I find out?
Cheers

I will reply with the error message as soon as I can. Thanks!
Good-O! I'll be watching for it.

How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?

How do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?

Morning Saintine,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.

I am trying to home share with my new MacBook. The music library I am wishing to share is not displaying anywhere on my new laptop under music or library. My computer is authorized and I have tried restarting itunes, etc. Any help/ideas?

Are you using the same ID for homesharing on all devices.
By the way shared libraries don't show up under either 'Music' or 'Libraries'.

How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?

Hi, here's a question:
How can I share the home folder with different accounts on the same mac?
The whole point being not to have to install all my apps, and move all my files each time between users.
The second thing would be to be able to modify one document on one account, and have it changed on the other account without having to copy it.
I would like to have a pro and a private account on my mac.
Thanks for you answers,
Doug

Your apps should not be installed in your home folder--they should be in /Applications where every user can access them.
If you want to share things between users on the same Mac, use the /Users/Shared folder. Keep your home folder private. Trying to defeat the protections on the home folder subfolders just gets messy. I've never bothered to figure out all of the problems associated with it so I can't explain how to do it.
Even with using Shared, you would need to alter the ACLs on the shared folder in order to allow both users to modify the documents.
You must create a Group in Users & Groups and put each user in that group. Then create a folder inside /Users/Shared where you want to share the various files.
Then, add an ACL to the shared folder that gives the group special permissions. on that folder.
sudo chmod -R +a "<sharinggroup> allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Users/Shared/<sharing folder>
Replace <sharinggroup> and <sharingfolder> with the name of your group and your folder. Then, run the command in the Terminal.
With that ACL, each user in <sharinggroup> will be able to alter the files created by any user in the group in that <sharingfolder>.
Essentially, the client OS is not designed for true file sharing among the individual users. It is designed to isolate each user account from the others.

I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy the songs, but I just don't have the "import" button. So it won't allow me to do anything with the songs from her computer. What should I do now?

I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy all the songs I want, but it won't allow me to import them because my iTunes doesn't show the "import" button at the bottom. So what do I do now?

I have reinstalled the drivers. I watched it install the realtec and cirrus drivers. Hovering the mouse over the speaker icon says 'speakers: HP'. They are actually 'Creative'. 'Properties' indicates 'IDT High Definition CODEC' and 'This device is working correctly'.
Driver details gives 'c:\Windows\system32\drivers\dmk.sys'.
There is still no sound, although the little level meter on the control shows a green bar rising and falling.
Obviously, it thinks it's working, but there's no connection to the speakers. They're not muted, either. I checked that too.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts. The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv. How can I use my iphone to do the same?

Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts. The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv. How can I use my iphone to do the same?

Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

Two different versions of iTunes on a mac with two accounts?

Let's say two people share one computer and person A likes what he hears about iTunes 9 and wants to down it, but person B hates it and wants to keep iTunes 8 on the computer. I know it can't be done with one account but can it be done with two accounts if there is only one computer?

Good question. I'd say +back up your computer+ and give it a try. Put the copies of iTunes in Applications folders in each account, not in the common Applications folder at the main level of the directory.
Some of this may depend upon how you currently have it arranged with music files and libraries. I'm assuming you have it all sorted out as to accessing music files, unless you each have your own collection.
I don't know the full workings of itunes9 but as long as you don't share a common library (which is version-specific) or preferences files then I don't see why different versions won't work. Again, I'd make a backup in case anything funny happens, then try.

I have two separate calendars on iCloud (to share with two different groups), but I click on the second and try to enter data, it defaults to the first one I set up. How do I fix this?

I have one iCloud account. I set up two separate calendars on iCloud to share with two separate groups. But when I click on the second calendar and try to enter data, it defaults to the first/other calendar (wrong group to share with). How do I fix this?

Was this ever resolved?
Recently I set up a share for one calendar with another Apple user, through my iCloud. Now I find that the shared calendar, which has maybe 50 entries a week because it is for keeping track of community center activities and printing out PDFs, appears in my personal Calendar --- unless I turnoff the sharing.
Is this generally true? I cannot find any clarity on this on Apple Support.
If so, I plan to stop the assistance to the other Apple user. I will stop sharing the community center calendar that I set up on my computer and ask her to set up such a calendar on her own computer anew. The sharing of Calendars does not work well. It seems the shared calendar takes over as the only calendar one can see on one's own computer, replacing other calendars set up without sharing. I can only "see" the other calendars by turning off the sharing on the shared calendar. This is inconvenient. Basically shared Calendars take over!

Is it okay to home share with my roommate who is not related to me if we do not import each other's music?

Is it okay to home share with my roommate who is not related to me if we do not import each other's music?

Thanks I will try that . . . . the issue became worse when we recently updated to IOS6 - now all three of us get everything . . . . I was trying to avoid separate Apple ID's and emails but that might be the solution based on what I have read on here . . . .

You have to all be signed into the same Apple ID and on the same WiFi network, but yes you can do it. You have to sign into her Apple ID on your iPad in the store settings.

Invoice Posting with two accounting documents for Service PO

Hi Gurus,
We have created one service (GR based Invoice verification) PO for which we have assigned a costcenter which has been created for different company code(rather than what company code we have mentioned in PO).
Now during Invoice creation out of 6 invoice entries only one Invoice has been created with two accounting documents for two different company codes, when we found this and canceled the same only basic entries has been reversed.
I just wanted to know how this single invoice has been created with two different accounting documents for two different company codes.
Please guide me in this regard.
Thanks and Regards,
Ravindra C.M

Hi Aasif,
Thanks for your reply, if that would have been case then each Invoice created for that PO should have two accounting documents but out of 6 invoice created only one invoice has been created with two accounting documents.
I am completely agree with you that it has posted as inter-company transfer but why only one invoice has been created with two accounting documents.
In addition to the above I just wanted to know if for GR-based invoice verified PO if we create a Invoice before creating service entry sheet whether two accounting documents will be created as we have mentioned different company code costcenter.
Please guide me in this regard.
Thanks and Regards,
Ravindra C.M
