How do I set up home sharing on my new macBook Air 11" I want to access my itunes from my home iMac on my Macbook Air?

I've set up to share my itunes on my iMac and on my new MacBook Air 11" but there dont seem to be any files I can view or access?
On my music it says "Go to itunes store" or "Scan for Media"
Does anyone know how to set it up?
Many thanks
Tim.....

Once your in iTunes click the dropdown menu below the play button if one option is home sharing click home sharing and sign in with your apple id if you don't have home sharing follow these steps:
1) Go to iTunes
2) Click file (which is on the menu bar)
3) Hover your mouse over the place where it says home sharing
4) If you hover your mouse over home sharing you should see it says turn on home sharing click it
5) Now sign in with your apple id
Now have enabled home sharing on your mac.

  • How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

    I want to set up family sharing but it won't let me because all the emails are already associated with the one iTunes account we have.  I am afraid to delete because my children use that email address for text messaging.  How do I set up family sharing if all my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account?

    Hey Wendaroski,
    I am not quite sure what you mean by "my family members emails are already associated with my iTunes account" but what you need for each family member is an Apple ID. Yours would be the one for your iTunes account.
    If the other members of the family already have an Apple ID you can invite them to join the family group. If not they will need to create one, using their email address. This article shows how -

  • How do I set up file sharing to keep my Quicken and Aperture files accessible and in synch across my network?

    I have a gigabyte ethernet network connecting my home and workshop.  I have an iMac (mid-2009 and late-2012) at each location running Mountain Lion and Windows 7 Home Premium under Parallels 8.  I want to be able to access my Quicken (for Windows), Office (for Mac) and photo (Aperture and iPhoto for Mac) files from either location and keep the files in synch.  How do I set up File Sharing to accomplish this and what process should I use when updating and saving changes?

    Use SugarSync.

  • How do I set up a shared folder so all user accounts can view photos?

    How do I set up a shared drive for iPhotos for multiple users of my iMac?

    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • How do I set-up a Shared Folder to automatically grant read

    In OS 10.6.8, how do I set-up a Shared folder to automatically grant read & write access to all new MS Office files?  Older files are fine.  But, when new files are created and saved by one registered user, those files are "read-only" when opened by a different registered user, even though the permissions that are on the "Shared Folder" are read and write for each of the registered user groups.  Can't this be changed somehow?  The computer is used by two different work groups and some of the WORD or PPTX files are shared by both both work groups and are in the /users/shared folder when one of the user groups creates a new file and saves it to the Shared folder, it can't be edited unless saved with a different name.  I need to be able to fix this.  I assume it's an Office problem.  If I can fix using terminal commands, please be detailed.
    Thank you.

    Do you mean iTunes library?
    iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
    iTunes library is what is on your computer.
    It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
    No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
    Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

  • How do I set the default size of a new folder?

    I have finder sized the way I want for existing folders and if I do Finder > New Finder Window. These preferrences, however, do not seem to apply to new folders. Everytime I create a new folder on my desktop, and open that folder for the first time, the window size is really small and the sidebar is narrow. This is incredibally annoying. How do I set the default size for all new folders? Is there a plist file I can edit to fix this? Or an AppleScript I can run automatically in the background that fixes this? I am running Mavericks 10.9.1.

    If you use the Finder's New Finder Window command (command N) to create a new window, resize it, place it where you want, and set it for icon view or however you want it. Then close it. Closing it is what sets these as the default. That should become the default for every new Finder window you create using the new window command. But if you have lots of windows open at once and then close them, the last window you close will set a new default.
    There are lots of utilities that control Windows - their size and placement. I use one called Moom but there are many more.

  • HT3819 I have turned two computers on to home sharing. I am now on this computer wanting to put my music on to this itunes and i know i need to find the other computer in the drop down menu from " Home Sharing " but that menu isnt there on the left?

    I have turned two computers on to home sharing. I am now on this computer wanting to put my music on to this itunes and i know i need to find the other computer in the drop down menu from " Home Sharing " but that menu isnt there on the left?

    If you have the horizontal menu bar showing (File, Edit, View,...), select View, then select Show Sidebar. 
    If the menu bar is not showing, dorp down the menu in the very upper left corner and select show menu bar, then follow steps above.
    Hope that helps.  Good luck.

    Lost original message. How do I set up Windows email on my new ipad so that I can create new emails?

    I responded to the question that you can't seem to find. You have to use whatever email provider that you have .... Yahoo, Gmail, whoever you have,
    Did you try adding your email account to the iPad in Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Add Account?
    This may be helpful.

    After you add your email account you can send and receive emails in the iPad Mail App.
