How do I copy an iTunes playlist to another apple ID on the same computer?

My daughter has created a playlist in my iTunes and I'm trying to copy that into her iTunes via Home Sharing.  Is that possible?

Welcome to AD!
Each windows user has an itunes database file that has ratings, playcounts, etc.
It is named iTunesLibrary.itl
So in addition to putting the music in a shared location as Neil suggests, you need to swap your ITL files from each account.
Here is a good background article on that, you are using method 1. My advice is to stay far away from method 3, it's too easy to forget which ITL file itunes last used.
You could also switch to method 2. I used that for several years until my husband started using iTunes and I did not want his play counts in my library.

  • How do I move my iTunes account to another user name on the SAME computer?

    Hi,
    My kid was the first in my family to get an iPod. When we created her account, since she is young, I put it on my laptop under my user name. Months later, I decided to get an iPod and when I went to set up an account, it wouldn't let me. My neice told me that I had to set up a new user name account on my computer for the new itunes account. I did this, but now I find that this is TOTALLY inconvenient. My computing is done under one user name and, yet, to sync my iPod I have to log out of all of that and go into the other user name. I HATE this -- had I realised this would be such a pain in the neck, I never would have set up my daughter's account under my user name. Is there a way that I can move my itunes account to MY user name and move my daughter's to the other? Can I have them both under one user name? Thanks for any help/advice

  • How can I transfer a local mailbox to another user account on the same computer?

    I have two user accounts on the same computer. I actually never really wanted two accounts, but a second one was generated when I chose to use the Migration Assistant to transfer my account from a previous computer to my current one, and I never did anything to delete the second one. Anyway, I have been using Mac Mail to view my work email messages from a Microsoft Exchange server. Awhile back, I was running out of space on my mail server, and decided to download a bunch of my email messages to local mailboxes in order to free up space.
    Recently (for reasons that are not terribly relevant) I have decided to switch between the two user accounts on the computer. I have transfered all of my documents, apps, etc. to the new account. However, I haven't been able to find a way to transfer all the email that is in those local mailboxes, so that they are viewable/usable in the new account. Could somebody suggest the best way for me to do this? I am no longer going to use the old account, so the two do not have to be synced. I just want the mailboxes to be available for the new user account (with the same organizational structure).
    I am currently running Mavericks (just upgraded last week).
    Thanks,
    JEG

    A quick update....
    I copied the folder in ~Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes that contains all of my local mailboxes over to the same location in the new account. When I go into mail, the entire file structure is there, however it does not let me view (or search) any of the messages. The messages can be accessed through the Finder, though.
    I tried to "Rebuild" the local mailboxes, but it didn't seem to do anything. Any advice would be appreciated.

  • How to I copy my iTunes library onto an SD card in the same format such as artists, albums playlists etc on a Mac?

    HHi,
    i am trying to copy my iTunes library onto an SD card so that I can put it in my Audi A4 with the MMI. Is there any way of doing the transfer on iTunes but keeping the structure of iTunes, such as with albums, artists, playlists etc?
    THanks in advane

    Files are not copied to drives in a particular order. How they appear on a card depends upon how you have your computer set to display them. If I view a card with files and I have clicked the column header for "file modified date" then it will display in that order. The only time the copying of the files across to a flash drive will influence how your music appears in your player is if the player uses the file names to display the file order, with possibly some extra structure added using folders.  If it reads the data inside the files then it will display them pretty much as iTunes would use them and how exactly they are displayed will depend upon how the player actually works.  The other way (as I have already said) is if the player uses a special file to tell it how it should order the files on the display. When I last rented a new car it simple read the data inside the files as iTunes does and if a humble Ford Focus can do that then I suspect that is how Audi does it.  If it is not doing this then maybe your files do not contain the data, or your simply have not read the special manual for the MMI that I see on Audi's website it provides to its owners and discovered how to set the view order.
    Since nobody has seen to it I have been bestowed with an Audi you may have to wait for another Audi owner to answer this, or perhaps do some investigating yourself.  If you type "Audi MMI A4" into a web search it will lead you to a bunch of videos on Audi's web site on how to use the MMI. My computer is old and my connection speed is slow so I absolutely hate instructional videos online and I will let you plow through them to see if any provide the information you need.
    My understanding from Phil0124 statement is it is simply telling you to copy all the files in the Media folder to the card.
    When I cut and paste the iTunes library onto my SD card, it put all of songs in a strange order. It had all of some number 1 from all the albums, then song 2, etc. It didn't keep them in album / artist setup. For some reason it won't copy over in the same structure.
    Is this how you are seeing it when viewed on your computer, or is this how you are seeing it in the MMI?  If that is how you are seeing it on the computer, forget it, or do as Phil01234 says and drag across folders from the main Media folder in the iTunes folder.
    By the way, on a Mac to copy files from one drive to another you simply drag them, no copy and paste.

  • Can u/how do u  share playlists between different apple accounts on the same computer?

    My other half has own iphone    how do I share i tunes with 2 different phones and 2 itunes ids

    First thing you need to do is disable auto syncing in iTunes. This is from Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, etc.
    Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is set up separate log in accounts for the laptop. This will allow you to have iTunes in each log in and they can have different content. iTunes cannot have separate content with the same log in and different Apple ID, but you can manage two phones with the same iTunes account. See if any of the information in this support document will help you http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495 but the best solution is separate computer log in.

  • Can I replace my itunes library with another user's on the same computer?

    I just inherited a MacBook that has the previous user's iTunes library.  I'd like to use iTunes to backup my iPhone 5s without mixing my library with his.  How can I completely remove the old iTunes library before I sync my phone to this laptop?

    No. The contents of each library is tied to the Apple ID of the user.
    You need to erase the hard drive, reinstall OS X, and set up your own new account. You will need either a retail Snow Leopard DVD or the installer discs that came with the computer.
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • How do I transfer music from my itunes library  to my wife's on the same computer?

    How do I transfer music from my itunes library to my wife's on the same computer? I am trying to put the music that is on my phone on her phone.

    Has she transferred iTunes content to her iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer or from a different iTunes library on the same computer?
    If not, you transfer music to her iPhone from your iTunes library in the same way the music was transferred to your iPhone. If she has any iTunes content on her iPhone that was transferred from a different iTunes library, all iTunes content on her iPhone will be erased first.

  • How do I sync my iphone 5 to another apple id then the initial one

    how do I sync my iphone 5 to another apple id then the initial one

    If you mean your iCloud Apple ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID.  If you are signing back into the same account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.  If you are changing accounts (by setting up a new account with a new ID), when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPhone.  Then create the new account, turn on your data syncing and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.
    If you change accounts you will be assigned a new iCloud email address.  You will also lose your photo stream.  If you have any photos in your my photo stream album that are not saved to your camera roll that you want to keep, before deleting your orignal account, open the My Photo Steam album, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to keep, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    You can't unless you use the same account. To import, select them and drag to the desktop. Finally, drag them to the other iTunes in the Mac
