How do I access iTunes purchases in different accounts on my iMac?

I would like to arrange for my family members to be able to access our family's iTunes purchases in their own accounts on my computer. Right now, we only have the full selection in the administrator account, which the kids don't use. How can I do this?

Margaret,
If no one answers on this forum please re-post in the iTunes forum.

  • How do I access iTunes playlists across different login accts on my computer?

    All our purchased music is available in the administrator account on my computer. In other accounts used by family members, we have not managed to import entire playlists. Is there a better way than one song at a time? (There must be!)

  • How do we access iTune purchases on a shared computer? Only one account is seen although each can log into our separate accounts.

    My wife and I have separate iTunes accounts and we share a Windows 7 PC. When she logs in to iTunes to sync her library / purchases, it only displays my playlist and purchases. To recap: Separate accounts, logged in as separate account holders, iPhone 3gs, updated OS, iTunes correctly displays connected iPhone for account holder. Can anyone help?

    Emma,
    If two people have separate libraries on the same computer, it is best to put them into two separate Windows User accounts.
    Go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Add User Accounts, and get her set up in a separate user account.  Then move all her stuff there and from then on the two of you can operate independently on the same computer.

  • How do I share iTunes music between different accounts on one Mac?

    Good morning !
    There are various users sharing our Mini. Can I set the Mini up so that we all can share the same music library ?

    It works for "initial sharing" but the described solution includes some drawbacks;
    - songs added under one account don't show "automatically" for other users
    - if added there is a copy of the song-file (* 2.mp3)
    - no "bulk" import withoud re-adding already present songs
    Any workarounds for these problems known? 'caus I'm getting tired to keep the 3 iTune Libs of my girls in synch

    Hi. I have shared an Apple ID with my children for some time.  As they are getting older they do not wnat me seeing all their messages, photos etc so want their own accounts.  How can they access their purchased music and apps on the new account please?

    Yes.
    On their iOS devices, under Settings>iTunes & App Store, they should use your Apple ID. When they log into iCloud, iMessage and Facetime, they should use their personal Apple IDs.

  • How do I access iTunes on a shared computer?

    My computer died, I am using a shared computer and the other user already has iTunes under his own account.  Is there any way to access my iTunes account on this computer without doing anything to his iTunes?

    yes it is. its all linked. dont you see?
    how do i get itunes on a different computer? is the title of the thread.
    i have the same problem. the computer one of our itunes was on broke. it was replaced. apple dont cater for this. you can only link an apple device to one itunes. so if the computer is replaced, you are stuffed!!
    i installed another itunes on another computer and the original ipod wont sync with it or allow itunes to download the latest ipod operating system.
    the easiest thing to do would be to buy a new ipod (clear of content) and a new pc. install itunes on the pc, create a new apple ID and voila - can then start to put music and apps back on ipod and have the lastest and greatest OS.
    expensive i admit, but surely far less painful then any alternative?

    You can either go into App store on your iphone,
    click updates,
    click Purchased.
    or....
    go into your itunes account and look at your purchase history.

    Really? I need to check that out!
    You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
    I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

  • How do you get iTunes purchased songs to automatically play one after the other

    How do you get iTunes purchased songs to play automatically one after the other without having to hit play for each song ? Also I lost all my pictures on my iPad when I installed iOS 7 upgrade. Any way to get them back? Thanks. Dr Ron.

    Hi Dr. Ron,
    By your question, I am wondering if you are playing your music from the iTunes app rather than the Music app?
    In the Music App, you can go to any of the options at the bottom and click on a song to play and it will then continue to play the songs in that category. You can also select "Shuffle" to shuffle them.
    As for your Photos, did you have them backed up anywhere?
    Cheers,

    Drag them or the entire iTunes library there. If you want the active iTunes library to be there, once done, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose it.

    how do i access a purchased book that i have on my adobe application on my laptop from my iphone adobe app?

    Hi j.v.fromnc,
    One of the advantages of having Pages in iCloud beta is its ability to share with other devices, so it is not surprising you want to be able to access it on your iPad. To begin with you will need to install Pages for iOS on the iPad.
    Pages
    Once the document is created in Pages in iCloud, it automatically becomes available to devices using your iCloud account. On the iPad, go to Settings > Pages and make sure that Use iCloud is on. Of course you will want to be using the same iCloud account.
    See this article for further information -

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.
    <!-- VERY important to include-->
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>

  • How can I access iTunes media from my iPad to my time capsule

    How can I access iTunes media from my iPad to my time capsule with out a computer

    Really not suitable.. The TC is a dumb hard disk in a router.. it is not a media server..
    You can move your itunes library to the TC.. but if you do that.. one day the TC will die and take your library with it.. as well as giving slow response to every network device.. this is really not suitable.
