How do I add users to home sharing?

Hi!
I am trying to figure out how I can add my family members to home sharing so that they can access my music and apps.
I appreciate any help.

When you turn on Home Sharing, it asks you for your Apple ID and password. You have to use the same one on each device you're sharing with.

I rented a movie. I want to see it using different user on same mac for security reason. How can I do this? Home Sharing fails to do this, so far.

Copy the movie from the current library to the correct library.
iDevices can only sync to one library at a time.

You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

OK, I just got off of the phone with Apple and still no joy. They had me try a few things that did not work, then told me to Archive and Install, which did not either. Anyway, thanks for the additional help very note worthy, but still no joy. Also an email to iTunes Support took me here

I have a Users/Shared folder but since the files we are talking about are invisible, I can see how it is structured.
And by the way I tried this one
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3577004#3577004
and it did not work. However, when I install a fresh copy of Tiger on the external it did authorize the computer and was able to play the downloads. But coping the invisible file to my boot drive was not successful. But , like I said the music did play when I started up from the external. So I guess that may be my only solution, unless someone can tell what the correct directory is and where it for iTunes downloads.

How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to ...

How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to computer and other devices?

No need to "import". Just find the photo in iPhoto (i.e. within the application), click it once so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Copy (or just ⌘-C). Go to Address Book, select the contact, click the Edit button at the bottom, click once on the blank photo icon so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Paste (or just ⌘-V).
FYI, the original iPhoto images are stored as individual files, in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/subfolders.
Hope this helps...

HT4527 How on earth do you get Home Sharing to work properly? We have tried multiple times and it simply doesn't work for us!

How on earth do you get Home SHaring to work? We have tried numerous times and it simply doesn't work for us!

Turn it on.
Honestly, if you want help it is generally a good idea to ask a specific question and give some details of what problem is occurring.
If trying to move media, using home sharing is simply a bad idea. Follow some of the other instructions in the article from which the question was posted to move media.

How do you change the user for Home Sharing on the Apple TV?

I need to change the user on the Apple TV for Home Sharing but can't figure how or where to do it in the Apple TV settings. Can anyone help? Thank you.

I bought my ATV at the Apple store Zurich Switzerland. All the movies default to German. I hired a US movie and pressed and held the play/pause button once the movie had started but only the chapter menu displayed and there were no options to change the language (from the default German to English)
Are all movies flagged on Swiss accounts only available in German? Is there a way of pointing my ATV to a different server.

How can I manage playlists for different users with home sharing?

I have two teenagers with no taste in music, my wife who appreciates Abba my own music to manage across a fleet of devices. My kids dont like Ozarks or Pink Floyd, and I would rather skin myself with a cheese grater than have One direction on my phone. Does home sharing allow for different devices to sync different playlists??? And furthermore is the icloud Match thing worth the trouble???
thanks

After researching through the forums, I figured it out. You have to make sure you are logged in under the same account on both computers. At first I was logged under my account on my computer and logged in under my father's account on my father's computer. You have to choose one account to log in under on both computers and then you will be abler to import songs from both computers. If you do not log in under the same account, you will be able to listen to both computers' music, but not import.

How can I add music from a shared library to my own library ?

I'm trying to add 4 songs, that were newly purchased, from my dad's computer to mine. the only problem i have with home sharing, is that i cannot drag the music over to my library or i dont know how to add it to my library. I have searched the iTunes Help Center and iTunes Support, but neither have helped me solve this issue.
If i cannot find a solution, i will resolve to add it through a memory stick. But i hope there is another way to fix this, as i wish it could add automatically.

Hello leendo
As long as you have Home Sharing setup with the same Apple ID, then you should see an option to import the tracks in when selecting the songs that you want. Check out the article below to get that sorted out.

How can I access apps from home sharing library?

I can view my husband's music and video library, but I cannot view and access his apps. He has an old PC and the last version of Itunes. We are updating it now. What do I need to do to acces his iPhone apps?

Do you and your husband share one Apple ID for iTunes Store purchases. If not, that is a requirement for you to be able to access his purchases and vise versa.
If you do share one Apple ID then you have use that ID to enable Home Sharing on both computers. See my post in the thread I've link to below to learn how to enable Home Sharing.

How to get the user's home directory in Unix if I know the username?

I have a problem to determine a user's home directory in Solaris system.
for example, I know the username as "smith", how can I know smith's
home directory (the absolute path string)? pls help me...

if the user is the one running the program, you can always get the home directory using System.getProperties ("user.home");
If you are trying to get the properties of another user, you could try using setProperties to change the user name first, before getiting the home directory, but it probably won't work because of the security manager. You could read the /etc/passwd file and parse the path out, but once again, the user of the code would have to have appropriate permission.
