I'd like to share amfolders with her as well but I can use dropbox for that, the music us what I'd really like to do. Can anyone give me a step by step cause I'm confused? Thanks.

You can use home share on the pc.

How can I share my music with my wife's account?

My family has multiple accounts on various devices (IPods, IPad) that share one IMac. How can I share the music on my account with my wife's account? My music doesn't show up on her account and vice/versa.

I'm sorry to say, unless you're using apples pay service, that allows you to upload your own music, there is no way to do that. I'm assuming that the music you are talking about has not been purchased through them. If it has, then you can redownload it to any devices from within your app.
I personally dont think its fair that you can't import music from your own online sources, but apple isnt in the busness of giving us what we want, just what will make them money.
You could also look into some of the rare apps that have been allowed to slip through such as 8player or vlc. One of those might be able to pull from your own online source, but I cant say for sure, and its unlikely is will work very well. I personally have started using a third party cloud service to store backups of my music, that might be something to look into.

Use the same Apple ID and password for purchasing in all these devices.

First, are you positive it is really not there? Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

My iTunes library is constructed entirely of uploaded music cds. How can I transfer this music to another mac

My iTunes library is constructed entirely of uploaded music cds. How can I transfer this music to another mac (I'm replacing current macbook)? Eventually, I will begin using itunes to download / purchase music. Do i need to transfer original library before updating itunes library on the cloud? What's order of operations?

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

How Can I Share iPod Music Over a LAN ?

I want to share music from an iPod over my LAN.
I've searched the forum, and can't find an answer there.
Current Situation
I have all my music on a G5 and share it over an Airport network, so I can play it from any computer in the house.
I'm running out of disk space + I need to have iTunes running all the time in the background to serve the music over the network.
Proposed Solution
I want to use an old iBook as a music server. The iBook doesn't have enough disk space to store all the music, so I want to move all the music from my G5 to an iPod - then connect the iPod to the iBook and serve the music directly from the iPod.
If I store the music on the iPod, I can play it fine on the iBook, using iTunes.
If I enable music sharing on the iBook, the iBook music library can be shared over the network - but this does not include the music in the iPod music library.
How can I share the iPod music directly over the network ?
I can't copy the music from the iPod to the iBook - there's not enough disk space.
I know I can do it by using the iPod in disk mode - and storing the music in an iTunes folder on the iPod. But I also want to use the iPod to play my music in the car - so storing the music in Disk Mode won't help.
I guess I could set up the iBook to refer to an iTunes folder on the iPod using Disk Mode - then sync the iBook with the iPod --- but that just means I'll have 2 copies of the same music on the iPod --- there must be a better way ...

To the best of my knowledge, you can't. iTunes can only share music that's in the main iTunes library, not tracks from an iPod. Your best route will probably be to get an external hard drive for your iBook and put the iTunes library there.

HT3819 How can I share my music with another apple ID device

Can I share the music on my iPad with another iPad, the other iPad has a different Apple ID

The correct answer to your question is No - you cannot "share" Music with another device using a different Apple ID. Can you make it work - yes you can.
You do not want to sign into the other Apple ID and download the purchased music because you will lock yourself out of your own Apple ID for 90 days. Apple does this in order to discourage users from "sharing" purchased content that they did not buy themselves.
Whatever you decide to do, just don't download the music from the purchased tab in iTunes, because you don't want to lock yourself out of your own ID for 90 days.

How can I share my contact list with another MAC?

Hi,
There does seem to be a presumption in the other reply that your girlfriend is living with you.
A File transfer via Bonjour would then work.
Also the File Sharing in System Preferences > Sharing would cause her computer to show up on your Finder's side bar as a Share.
With iChat if you both have AIM Login names you could still do File Transfers.
(It is slightly more complicated if you have Jabber ID logged in alothough not impossible).

How can I share the music on my ipad with my imac using home sharing?

I’ve been trying to share the music on my ipad with my imac. I've set my apple ID account on both of them but I can't get any of the songs I purchased on my ipad to my imac. Even though, when I click my albums it shares the music on my imac to my ipad. the reason why I couldn't do this before was that I had recently purchased my ipad and created a new account that was different from the account on my imac. so can I use home sharing on itunes with my ipad and imac? and if not then how else could I share the music on my ipad to the itunes on my imac?

The above makes it sound like it is one way, computer to mobile device. Perhaps something below says differently.
