How do I share my music with another computer

I need to transfer my music to another computer. Isn't this what homesharing is? I have it turned on both computers but nothing happens. Help!!

Nothing happens automatically. You either can stream content from the other computer, or you select the other computer's library under Home Shares and copy the content from that computer to the one you're using. See the Home Sharing section in this article:

HT3819 How can I share my music with another apple ID device

Can I share the music on my iPad with another iPad, the other iPad has a different Apple ID

The correct answer to your question is No - you cannot "share" Music with another device using a different Apple ID. Can you make it work - yes you can.
You do not want to sign into the other Apple ID and download the purchased music because you will lock yourself out of your own Apple ID for 90 days. Apple does this in order to discourage users from "sharing" purchased content that they did not buy themselves.
Whatever you decide to do, just don't download the music from the purchased tab in iTunes, because you don't want to lock yourself out of your own ID for 90 days.

How can I share my iTunes with another computer who is in another state?

I just want to send my sister one song from my iTunes because its a recording of her daughter when she was 2. She no longer has the file and I only have it saved in my iTunes from a long ago. The only known file is the one I have saved on iTunes. I tried to do home sharing but I dont know how to do that being we are in different states. She lives in Oklahoma and I live in California. She has a mac computer as do I. We are both current with updates, is there a way to Ping it to her? Or even translate the file to the desktop to send in an email?
Any help will due. Her daughter will be turning 10 soon, I thought it would be cute to show her the clip of when she was smaller!
Thank you

Just email it.
In iTunes, drag the file to the desktop.
On the desktop, select the file right click Share > email.

You do make regular backups of your computer, correct?
Use Time Machine?

How do I share multiple contacts with another iPhone?

How do I share multiple contacts with another iPhone? Thanks in advance.

What do you mean share?
It is not possible to send contacts from one iPhone to another without installing an app that would support this. Bump is one such app.
There is no functionality in iOS to do this. iCloud can share contacts across multiple iDevices, but it would be ALL contacts, just just a few.

How do I added my music to another computer thats not my home computer???

Are you wanting to add music to an iTunes library on another computer? That shouldn't be a problem. Just import it or rip the same way you would on your iTunes library on your home PC.
Or are you wanting to extract content from the iPod into this new/different iTunes library? If so, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 on different ways to extact the media on your iPod and back into iTunes.

How can I share itunes music with others who use this computer??

I want to share my music with my granddaughter and she wants to share hers with me. We use the same computer but log in with different accounts. If the music is in the computer is seems there should be a way to share all the music. Can we do that??

There are sharing abilities built into iTunes. In the iTunes Help menu just type in "share."
I personally don't care for the way iTunes shares music. I have taken a different route. I use file sharing to share my Music folder with my wife.
From the Finder window right or control click on Music.
Select Get Info
At the bottom of Get Info click on the lock icon to unlock changes
Under Sharing click on the + to add access to another user.
Select you daughters id. and add her.
Give her Read Access.
Click on the Gear icon on the bottom and select "Apply to enclosed items."
Have you daughter do the same for you. You will now have access to each others music.
There are several ways you can listen to each others music.
To listen to just one song I just use the Finder method. Open Finder and click in the spotlight search field (upper right). Type in some criteria (i.e. Artist, partial title, album name). Files will appear in the finder window. Select the icon view option. You should see album artwork. Move your mouse over the track you want to listen to and your should see a play button appear. Not sure which OSX versions support this (10.6 does). Click on the play button. If you don't see a play button you can play by selecting Get Info. There is a play button in the preview section. You can also play with Quick View.
To listen to a playlist you will need a multimedia player like VLC (google it if you don't have it).
From iTunes you can export your playlist from File > Library > Export Playlist... (.m3u works well) Give your daughter read write access to the playlist file and from the Open With entry select VLC. (use the get info method)
Copy the playlist file to you daughters drop box in her public folder. Have your daughter use the get info function to make sure her copy still points to VLC and not to iTunes. If you open the playlist file with iTunes it may copy the tune files to her library. (don't want to end up with multiple copies of tunes on your Mac)
Double clicking on the playlist file will open VLC and begin playing. There is a playlist button on VLC to view, sort and select tunes from the list.
Phew! Hope that helped.
Dan
P.S. Haven't tested this with copy protected stuff.

How can I share my music with my wife's account?

My family has multiple accounts on various devices (IPods, IPad) that share one IMac. How can I share the music on my account with my wife's account? My music doesn't show up on her account and vice/versa.

I'm sorry to say, unless you're using apples pay service, that allows you to upload your own music, there is no way to do that. I'm assuming that the music you are talking about has not been purchased through them. If it has, then you can redownload it to any devices from within your app.
I personally dont think its fair that you can't import music from your own online sources, but apple isnt in the busness of giving us what we want, just what will make them money.
You could also look into some of the rare apps that have been allowed to slip through such as 8player or vlc. One of those might be able to pull from your own online source, but I cant say for sure, and its unlikely is will work very well. I personally have started using a third party cloud service to store backups of my music, that might be something to look into.

How do I download my music onto another computer, when I no longer have the music on another computer, ipod, or any other storage device?

Just as it says: How can I download music again that I have already bought and downloaded once on another computer?
I no longer have the music on another computer (I no longer have the original computer) and the only other place I put the music was my Ipod that I lost. (Im sure its somewhere in my house, but can't seem to find it)

Whether you can re-download your past music purchases will depend upon what country that you are in. On the iTunes store home page on your computer there should be a Puchased option under Quick Links on the right-hand side of it - go into that and see if music is an option for re-downloading

How can I share contact list with another MAC

How can I share my contact list with another MAC?

Hi,
There does seem to be a presumption in the other reply that your girlfriend is living with you.
A File transfer via Bonjour would then work.
Also the File Sharing in System Preferences > Sharing would cause her computer to show up on your Finder's side bar as a Share.
With iChat if you both have AIM Login names you could still do File Transfers.
(It is slightly more complicated if you have Jabber ID logged in alothough not impossible).

How can I share my music with other account users

Hello I would like to know how I can share my Itunes library with other user accounts on my mackbook?
Thanks

How do I share my pictures with another profile on the same computer

I would like to share my photo library with another profile user on the same computer

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.
