How do I share my music with another user account on my MAC?

I wish to share some of my music with another user on my MAC.  I created a playlist of the music I wish to share.  I enabled home sharing and selected share selected playlists.  I went to the users account and could not find the shared playlist.  Within iTunes, I went to music, add to library.

  • 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.

  • Can I share my iTunes with another User Account on the same Mac?

    Hi There
    I have created a new user account on my MacBook for my Boyfriend to have his own login, the only trouble being he syncs his iPod and iPhone with my iTunes library.
    Is it possible to share iTunes across the 2 User Accounts on the same Mac?

    I have followed those instructions and successfully have shared my music. Now for the next question!
    How can we both purchase songs that automatically update on each others account? (For example if I purchase a song, it won't appear on his Library)

  • 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:

  • How do I share iTunes music between two user accounts?

    We have two (admin) user accounts on our iMac. My husband has downloaded tons of music from CDs to his iTunes library. How can I get some of his music to my iTunes library without having to re-download from CDs? If anyone can give me simple instructions it would be appreciated.
    Thanks Jeanette.

  • Can I share apps with another user account on our mac even though its a different apple ID?

    Husband and I have just bought a new Mac to share, but we've both got iphones and itunes of our own.  I thought the best way to deal with this would be to have a user account each on the new Mac with our own iTunes, but this obviously means that each user account has a different apple ID associated with it.  I've just bought Pages, Numbers and Keynote on my user account, is it going to be possible to share these apps with my husbands user account.
    I've got a harrible feeling that I should have created a joint user account and apple ID, and I've just wasted the best part of £40...please tell me theres a way to fix this!!
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can, but you will have to update the applications from the user account with the Apple ID you used to purchase those apps. There isn't any other problem, but it may be illegal (but I think it's legal if you run them on the same Mac)

  • How to access a shared disk with two users account on same Mac

    I am seeking how to share / access at same time with two accounts on a same Mac a disk that is shared with a TC or an AEBS. When a user account is connected to the shared drive and when I switch to the 2nd user this 2nd user cannot access / see the content of the shared drive and it receives an error message. I want to use this shared drive to store some GB of movies I do not want to have on my MacBook Pro SSD but still bring able to access them from the two accounts that are set on my Mac. Just like for an internal drive. I have tried all I could but it does not want to work. How do I do that ? Thanks.

    If you were running this software, the Mac's Bonjour would automatically "discover" The Linux machine.

  • Want to share some music with another User on my Mac - how?

    Hi everyone,
    Here's what I want to do, and any help is appreciated.
    My fiancee and I both users on my Mac laptop. Currently, we have our own iTunes library in our respective user folders. She wants some of my songs in her library, and I want a few of hers. I don't want to waste hard drive space, so I am trying to figure out how she can have some of my music in her library without creating duplicate copies on the hard drive. Then I want to be sure the shared songs she likes will upload to her iPod when she tries to sync.
    From reading the various entries, I think the solution to this is to have a shared library in a public folder. However, I have a few questions about how this will work.
    1. I don't want to see most of her music in my iTunes, and she doesn't want to see most of mine in hers. Can we control this with a shared library, or will each person see all of the available music?
    2. What will happen when we try to sync our iPods? Will my iPod try to import all of her music that I don't want? Will hers get all of mine, or just the songs she wants?
    Thanks in advance for your help...
    PS - yes, I did read the article that covers most of this topic, but it didn't answer some of my questions.

    Just in case anyone is having the same issue - since there were no responses to this post, I bit the bullet and copied my iTunes library into our shared folder.
    1. Our libraries stayed the same - nobody's music showed up in the other person's library. If she wants additional music from the shared library, she can just drag it into her iTunes from the shared folder on the finder level.
    2. The iPods behaved exactly as expected - they would only sync to the user they were attached to.

  • How do i share a file with another user

    i want to give my editor access to  pdf file saved on my iCloud drive and have no idea how to do it

    Sorry, I forgot - if you created the PDF with iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), you could share the source in iCloud however instead of the PDF:

  • 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.

  • ITunes settings reset with every new version, and I get: "...the information on the iphone is synced with another user account"

    Windows 7 64-bit with MS Outlook 2010. I've seen this now probably 10 times. When I first installed iTunes, I selected:
    Preferences -> Devices -> "Prevent iPhonse, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically".
    and on my iPhone, I selected:
    Info -> Sync Contacts with: Outlook.
    Info -> Sync Calendars with: Outlook
    Info -> Other -> Sync notes with: Outlook
    This works great, and the settings stick.  As soon as apple releases any new version (even minor) of iTunes and I install, I immediately receive: "...the information on the iphone is synced with another user account", and have to merge my calendar and contacts, but then once I get into iTunes, I find that ALL of the above settings (prevent syncing, sync calendar, contacts, notes) get reset and are turned off! I am running as a user account with Admin privaleges, but I don't right-click -> "Run as administrator" when I perform the iTunes update.
    To reiterate, once I change the settings back, things work normally until the next iTunes update at which it gives me that sync error, and resets my sync options.
    Any idea? Thanks!

    Is someone else using the PC and iTunes?
    Create another user for the PC with your name, and try syncing that way.
    This way it wont conflic with the other user.
