How do I share my library with a family member and not get their music?

I have an itunes music library. My husband has it on an ipod. He would like to add music that I don't want. I would like him to open his own account to purchase his music but he would still like my music as well. How do we do this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Once he has created his own account, he can share your library on his computer from yours using homesharing, he can then import anything from your library to his own.

    Use BCC.   That's blind carbon copy.   And copy paste the address into the BCC field.  It really depends what e-mail program you use how to enable BCC.

  • How do I share my Library with my Wife?

    Another obvious question, but for the life of me I cannot see how to share my complete library.
    I am not talking about selecting photos to publish between family members ... I would use fakebook or other social media for that ... this is simply how do we have all of our photos tagged and together in a single place, regardless of who takes them, and with which device? It should be easy ... I just presume that I am having a really dense day.
    Should this be posted in the iCloud section? All that talks about is social media and 5000 photo limits.
    Alternately ... where are the photos in the new app? where is the database? Can I subscribe to dropbox and t=use their sync facilities?
    Thanks.

    You can use Photos and the iCloud Library feature. You just both log into the same Library.
    That sounds good ... I thought (presumed) that if I use my iCloud drive for this then my wife would have to use my iCloud drive herself ... wold that not cause issues with calendars, reminders, mail etc. I cannot see a location in preferences where I can decide what iCloud ID to use for photos, and what to use for the remainder. If I could find that then it would be great. I could set up (and pay for) a large account that we could both use whilst remaining separate in all other contexts.
    Do you know where that setting is?
    Family sharing does not seem to over it.
    Thanks.

  • HT1727 how do i share itunes library with new iphone device?

    I just bought a new iphone and set up new icloud account.  How do I share my itunes librbary with this device/account?

    Guys, its not that easy. When you answer questions here, please imagine that some individuals may be new to apple, itunes, and its never just as easy as "select what you want. Explain how to get to the settings you are telling them to use, and step by step help... If they wanted a simple answer they wouldn't spend the time to get on here and ask.

  • Can I share itunes library with my family icloud

    My kids have their itunes library, my husband does too, and mine is different as well. We all use my account and do share songs amoungst our libraries. WIth iCloud is this still work seamlessly in the same fashion or do we all need different user ID/passwords?
    Can we do this with Calendaring, documents, photos too? All on one account, but all selecting what we want to select?

    itunes has two different ways of sharing music
    1) clicking on file , home sharing and turning on home sharing, and entering your apple id. this is required for iphone, ipods and ios devices you are only allowed to share to 5 computers this way. this allows you to import songs to your itunes client  from your itunes server. and each compuer needs to be logged into your itunes account
    2) clicking on itunes, preferences, clicking on share tab, and cicking on "share my library on my local nework " this will not allow itunes libraries to be shared with ipods, iphones or ios devices. itunes cleints will not be alllowed to important songs from your itunes server. however itunes clients do not have to be logged into apple at all. they don't even need to be authorized to play music. they will prompt for your itunes account if you try and play a song that has DRM, but if the music has no DRM they will play fine
    your only allowed 5 computers associated with an apple id. upgrading your music collection to itunes plus or using itunes match #2 might be able to save your precious itunes computer slots
    i have them both turned on

  • I have an ipad and a bluetooth keyboard which was initially set up with a family member's account. Their account has been erased I am now using the ipad but cannot get the bluetooth keyboard to connect. no device is recognized. any suggestions????

    I have an Apple iPad Mini With Wi-Fi 16GB and a Rock Bluetooth keyboard that was previously used by my daughter. Her information was erased from the ipad and I have set it up as a new user under my account. All went well until I tried to set up the keyboard. When I go to Settings and turn on Bluetooth the ipad does not detect any device. I know they were paired and working when she was using them. Could it be because the ipad/keyboard were operating with her account and know won't connect to mine? We do not live in the same city so how would I clear the keyboard so that I could connect it to a 'new' ipad?

    Hi sugaliko,
    You may need to set up your BlueTooth connection to the keyboard again. Use the steps in this article for guidance -

  • How can I share my library with my daughter ?

    I have an iphone and my daughter has an iphone.  We have 2 different itunes account and one network library.  itunes will not let me transfer music to her account from the main library.  It comes up with a red circle with a slash through it.  I have already given permission for homesharing, so I am stuck. 

    See this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 it probably has to do with computer authorizations.

  • How can i share my library with my new computer when the itunes on the new computer does not have the "look for shared libraries" command in the preferences/shared pane?

    It worked fine before i updated the most recent update, My old computer readds the new one but the new one does not read the old one now.

    Is the iTunes library actually shared on the old computer?
    I have never had a need for forcing iTunes to look for shared libraries, it simply detects them.

  • How can i share itunes content with my family?

    I just got an iPhone and gave my sister my iPod touch. Is there any way can we share our apps/music with each other? I was going to use home sharing but from what I've read both users have to be on the same wifi network and we'll only be in the same house during the summer because she's in college.

    Check out this Apple article -> How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
    You can create playlists for each device or  seperate iTunes libraries.

  • Aperture 2,how can I share one vault with my MacBook Pro and G5?

    I want to run Aperture 2, on my MacBook Pro and G5, I want to keep all images on an external Firewire drive. I would also store the vault there as well. I want to be able to have the choice to work on the my photos on my MacBook Pro, take the external Firewire hard drive with me and work on my photos, then when I come home I want all of those changes reflected back on m G5 when I open it, and updated the vault.
    I this possible, if so how do I accomplish my task.
    Thank in advance for reading and replying to my post.
    Sebastian

    I want all images stored in a single Library that will be accessed on my G5 & MacBook Pro, but I want to create a single Vault and when changes are made to my Library from either system, when I go to other other systems they are reflected there, with a warning that my Vault needs to be updated. This is my goal, this is how I envision having both systems using the same Library and same Vault.

  • How do I share a design with a team member

    Hi there,
    We recently signed up for the Team version of the Creative Cloud. On the 'Teams' promotional page it suggests we will be able to 'collaborate' & 'capture feedback' from team members.
    I'm presuming this is via Behance or our Cloud folders but I so far haven't been able to figure out how to share items with team members only. Any guidance appreciated!
    Thanks!
