How do I share music between two iPads each with different apple ids?

I have an iPad retina display and my son has the iPad mini. We have different ids. How do i send my iTunes music to him? My iTunes doesn't seem to have a menu that says file or preferences. Also what is home share? We don't have a desk top. Just the iPads

Home Sharing allows you to share music from a computer to another computer or device, it doesn't work between just devices, it needs a computer.
Home sharing : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819
You could potentially log in with your account on his iPad and re-download your music (if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded), but you risk tying his iPad to your account for 90 days (so it's probably not worth it) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

  • How can I share music between two computers and two accounts?

    My wife and I each have our own devices. I would like to purchase an album and have it on both accounts so we do not have to buy the same album twice just because we both like it. I have seen many articles on how to achieve this on a single computer but nothing that talks about multiple computers and multiple accounts.
    TIA

    By account I take it you mean computer account, not iTunes Store account.  You can't currently share items between multiple store accounts though you can share it between computer accounts.  Also read about changes in forthcoming iOS8.

  • How do i share music between two iphone 4s , but not downloaded apps ?

    i am trying to sync mine & my partners phones so that we can share itunes between both phones, i have set up 1 itunes account (using my apple id) & we each have a icloud account, i have managed to get the music to appear on both phones but it also brought all of my apps onto my partners phone, i think this must be because the itune account is in my apple id, is there a way to share music only ?
    Also to play all the music that is on itunes library on the computer, on my partners phone, you have to change his shared music library setting everytime you wish to see all that is on the itunes account, is this correct?
    hope you can help,

    make 2 user accounts on the computer
    move the music to a folder shared between the 2 accounts
    add the music to itunes on each user account
    sync
    and thats it

  • How to Best Share Music Between Two Computers

    My wife and I have two computers with two different iTunes libraries. We'd like to share music. What's the most time efficient way to authorize our respective computers for each other's songs?
    I think I could go to the various folders in the file system on my wife's computer, copy each song I want, and store it in a new folder on my own computer. But this seems really time consuming for 500 songs. Is there a faster way, like importing directly from her library after I've enabled it to share?
    Thanks.

    Unless both computers are on all the time then each computer will need its own copy of any music in the iTunes library. An external neetwork drive may be a good option. Set both computers' iTunes to store music there then the files will be available to both at any time. If that is not an option then you will need to continue copying files from one machine to the other.

  • How do I share music between two iTunes accounts?

    My friend recently purchased an iPod touch, and I have an iPad two. Instead of her spending so much money on music we thought I could share some of my music with her.... But how?! She does not have a computer but she does have Internet connection. I have both

  • How do you share music between two user accounts for multimedia purposes???

    I am working with iDVD and am running into a slight snafu. My girlfriend has most of the pictures in her iPhoto account, while I have most of the music in my iTunes account. (she works on maintaining our over flowing pictures, while I handle paying for all our music... works out nice. <wink>)
    Anyways, we were both working on a new photo DVD for family using iDVD and were frustrated that we could not pull in music from my iTunes account to use with her pictures in iDVD. I am uncertain if we are doing anything wrong and just do not know how to do it, or if it is not possible. We also have a few pictures on my iPhoto account we wanted to add to the DVD, but cannot access those either from her account while in iDVD.
    Is it possible to share this data back and forth without making two copies of all of it?
    Thanks for all your help!!

    Follow the steps after the section that says "If you have an earlier version of Mac OS X", Quintalis. It explains how to do it without the Fast User Switching/iTunes Sharing which is indeed limited only to playback.
    Note that when it says "publicly accessible location", it needs to be a place where everyone has read and write access. The most common such place is the Shared folder in the Users folder.

  • How do you share music between two iTunes accounts on one computer?

    My wife and I share a Windows 7 laptop computer.  We have separate Windows logins and separate iTunes accounts.  When we had separate computers we were able to use Home Sharing to share our music but this doesn't work when you have two accounts on the same computer.
    Is there a way to share our music libraries without wiping out what is already stored in our individual iTunes music libraries?

  • How do I share files between two Macs on my wireless network?

    I have an iMac G4 and an ibook G3 on a wireless network. I have "file sharing" activated on both computers. (Also Appletalk, which may or may not be a misguided move, but I got the idea from OSX "Help.")
    When I try to get from either computer onto the other, my computer is recognized by name (another alternative is to log on as a "guest"). I'm prompted for a password. None of the passwords I use works. I've tried the administrative passwords for both computers.
    How do I get beyond this hurdle to share files? I've posted elsewhere to no avail. This must be an easy one. How do you share files between two macs on one network?

    Do your accounts on the machines have the same short name? It's an issue I've seen a few names.. one machine with bsmith, the other with bobsmith, but the long names for both being "Bob Smith". The login windows would confuse users because it showed their names, but because the short names didn't match, it wouldn't work.
    The password you should use is the administrative one, so I don't know why you're not having luck.

  • Is there any way to share music between two iPhones ?

    I want to share music between two iPhones with different apple IDs , isn't there any method to do that without itunes ?

    In general, the catalog that is open when you do Export As Catalog is where the settings are, and the catalog that is open when you do Import From Catalog is where the settings aren't, yet, but will be after the Import.  Your assumptions appear to be correct for your particular example.

  • Can music be shared between two devices with different apple IDs?

    Can music be shared between two devices with different apple IDs?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    iTunes content can be commingled in the iTunes library on a computer and synced to iOS devices. The computer must be authorized to use the content from the respective Apple IDs in the iTunes Store menu.

  • HT1491 I have two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's.  How can I merge them into one?

    I ahve two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's.  How can I merge them into one account?

    Apple has no provisions for this. You cannot merge multiple Apple ID's into one ID. Content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

  • Performance between two partitionned tables with different structure

    Hi,
    I would like if there is a difference between two partitionned tables with different structure in term of performance (access, query, insertions, updates ).
    I explain myself in detail :
    I have a table that stores one value every 10 minutes in a day (so we have 144 values (24*6) in the whole day), with the corresponding id.
    Here is the structure :
    | Table T1 |
    + id PK |
    + date PK |
    + sample1 |
    + sample2 |
    + ... |
    + sample144 |
    The table is partionned on the column date, with a partionned every months. The primary key is based on the columns (id, date).
    There is an additionnal index on the column (id) (is it useful ?).
    I would like to know if it is better to have a table with just (id, date, value) , so for one row in the first table we'll have 144 rows in the future? table. The partition will already be on the columns (id, date) with the index associated.
    What are the gains or loss in performance with this new structure ( access, DMLs , storage ) ?
    I discuss with the Java developers and they say it is simpler to manage in their code.

    I mean storage in tablespaces and datafiles on disk.
    Can you justify please and give me concrete arguments why the two structures are equivalent ( except inserting data in T(id, date,value))
    because i have to make a report.i didnt say any thing like
    two structures are equivalent ( except inserting data in T(id, date,value)i said
    About structure : TABLE1(id, date, value) is better than TABLE1(id, date, sample1, .... sample144)because
    1) oracle has restriction for numbers of column. Ok you can have 144 columns now but for future if you must have more than 1000 columns , what will you do?
    2) Restrictions on Table Compression (Table compression is not supported for tables with more than 255 columns.)
    3) store same type values on diffrent columns is bad practise
