How do I share my playlists with other accounts/users on my Mac?
How do I share my playlists with other accounts/users on my Mac?
Hello,
I have a similar question, which I posted 8perhaps inappropriately) in the Home Sharing discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17405588#17405588
The problem I have is that it simply doesn't work and the question I have is how you do not move the the iTunes Library file or the iTunes Library.xml file when they are actually in the folder you are told by the article to move in the first place. -
How can I share itunes music with others who use this computer??
I want to share my music with my granddaughter and she wants to share hers with me. We use the same computer but log in with different accounts. If the music is in the computer is seems there should be a way to share all the music. Can we do that??
There are sharing abilities built into iTunes. In the iTunes Help menu just type in "share."
I personally don't care for the way iTunes shares music. I have taken a different route. I use file sharing to share my Music folder with my wife.
From the Finder window right or control click on Music.
Select Get Info
At the bottom of Get Info click on the lock icon to unlock changes
Under Sharing click on the + to add access to another user.
Select you daughters id. and add her.
Give her Read Access.
Click on the Gear icon on the bottom and select "Apply to enclosed items."
Have you daughter do the same for you. You will now have access to each others music.
There are several ways you can listen to each others music.
To listen to just one song I just use the Finder method. Open Finder and click in the spotlight search field (upper right). Type in some criteria (i.e. Artist, partial title, album name). Files will appear in the finder window. Select the icon view option. You should see album artwork. Move your mouse over the track you want to listen to and your should see a play button appear. Not sure which OSX versions support this (10.6 does). Click on the play button. If you don't see a play button you can play by selecting Get Info. There is a play button in the preview section. You can also play with Quick View.
To listen to a playlist you will need a multimedia player like VLC (google it if you don't have it).
From iTunes you can export your playlist from File > Library > Export Playlist... (.m3u works well) Give your daughter read write access to the playlist file and from the Open With entry select VLC. (use the get info method)
Copy the playlist file to you daughters drop box in her public folder. Have your daughter use the get info function to make sure her copy still points to VLC and not to iTunes. If you open the playlist file with iTunes it may copy the tune files to her library. (don't want to end up with multiple copies of tunes on your Mac)
Double clicking on the playlist file will open VLC and begin playing. There is a playlist button on VLC to view, sort and select tunes from the list.
Phew! Hope that helped.

P.S. Haven't tested this with copy protected stuff. -
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. -
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.

HT4059 CAN YOU SHARE IBOOK BOOKS WITH OTHER IBOOK USERS?
Does anyone know if you can share books in ibook with other ibook users?
No, not unless you give them access to your iTunes Store account (which would probably be a violation of the Store terms of use).

Can i share certain photos with other iphone users via icloud
i want to share photos with other iphone users via icloud.how do i go about allowing or sharing access to only some of my photos to some people at work
Hey zubairl,
Thanks for the question. For Privacy, you must be the original owner of the calendar to share with others. Because you are simply subscribed to the calendar, you do not see the option for sharing. To resolve your issue, have the owner of the calendar “share” it with the recipient, or have the recipient subscribe to the calendar just as you have done (if you have access to the public subscription link).

How can I share my location with other Lumia owner...
The Share location option on my Lumia 900 seems to generate a link that would not start Nokia maps on the receiving Lumia. Is it matter of settings? I looked everywhere...
As a result, I get a link to m.maps.nokia.com plus the coordinates. This calls the mobile version of the Nokia maps website. My friends with iPhones can share location with everyone and I can not share even with Lumia owners....

How can I share my ical with other users on the same machine?
Having recently bought an imac I set up accounts for the family. I'd like to share a generic calendar with everyone that only the adults can read/write, but want to allow everyone to hold their personal calendars at the same time. All the accounts are on the same machine. Can this be done? If so how?
You can only do this by syncing your calendar to an external server - MobileMe is designed for this but if you don't already have a MobileMe account you can't start one now.
If you do have a MobileMe account the method is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/sharedcalendar.html#publicshare
If you don't, you could sync to Google Calendar (Google accounts are free) or wait for iCloud which should be out in a couple of months and will probably provide this sort of facility.
You might like to consider BusyCal which is like iCal Pro - similar to iCal but with extra facilities. It can sync calendars on a Lan and also between accounts on the same machine (you have to have fast user switching enabled).
There is a free trial available on their website: it's slightly cheaper from the Mac App Store. (I have no connection with this company). -

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?
Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!
