How do I share playlists between multiple users?

I have successfully shrare libraries, but the playlists appear to reside outside the library. I would like to keep a group (or all) the playlists synched between users. Using Windows 8.

Per the users guide, a playlist you make on the iPod will sync back to your iTunes library on your computer. One the playlist is in your iTunes library just sync the playlist to your other iDevices.
From Users Guide:
Create a playlist:
1 Tap Playlists (tap More first, if Playlists isn’t visible), then tap “Add Playlist…”
2 Type a name for your playlist, then tap Save.
3 Browse for songs using the buttons at the bottom of the screen. Tap any song or video
to add it to the playlist. Tap Add All Songs at the top of any list of songs to add all the
songs in the list.
4 When you finish, tap Done.
When you make a playlist and then sync iPod touch to your computer, the playlist is
synced to your iTunes library.

How can I share Catalog with multiple users?

I have Mac OSX 10.7.5
The catalog exists on a shared LOCAL folder that other users have read-write access to
The catalog works fine for the 1st user (no issues viewing, tagging, or updating photos & repairing it yields no issues)
However when I try to open this catalog with any other user I receive an error that the catalog may be corrupt and therefore cannot be opened...
Has anyone been able to share their catalog with multiple users on a Mac?
thanks
-Jay

If anyone runs into the same issue - I figured out why it wasn't working for me. Turns out it was actually an issue with folder permissions.
Despite the catalog being in a shared folder that all users can read/write to - Macs apparently don't understand inheritance & I needed to set the same read/write access to every sub-folder (the catalog folder & all of it's sub folders) as well.
This fixed my issue.
The Catalog is now shared between multiple users on the local drive with all the photos/videos stored on a NAS drive.

HT3819 How do I share music between different users on the same computer?

I understand Home Sharing helps me share music across different computers. How do I share between different users on the same computer? We have a few instances of iTunes on a single computer and have to download from the same CD each time. I must be doing something wrong - seems crazy to have several copies of the same song on one hard-drive when Home Share allows for sharing across computers - how do I share within the same computer? Please outline specific steps. THANKS.

How do I share contacts between separate users on the SAME Mac?

I need help with an issue that came up today. A client asked me to put all her friend's names and addresses into her contacts. After entering all the names into the address book I realized that I had entered them all into her husband's contacts, as his user ID was logged on when I opened the computer. I now need to find a way to export/transfer/copy all those entries to a separate contacts/address book on the SAME Mac? Anyone have a simple solution?

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.

Can u/how do u share playlists between different apple accounts on the same computer?

My other half has own iphone how do I share i tunes with 2 different phones and 2 itunes ids

First thing you need to do is disable auto syncing in iTunes. This is from Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, etc.
Unfortunately, the only thing you can do is set up separate log in accounts for the laptop. This will allow you to have iTunes in each log in and they can have different content. iTunes cannot have separate content with the same log in and different Apple ID, but you can manage two phones with the same iTunes account. See if any of the information in this support document will help you http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495 but the best solution is separate computer log in.

How do I share playlists between my devices (Ipad, Ipod)?

After making a great playlist, I really don't want to go through my huge music library, and make the same playlist on another device. Is there a way to duplicate the same playlist on another device?

How can I share files between two users? or merge the user accounts

my laptop came home from the shop with two user accounts -never noticed that before - and some files are in one user account, some in another. I want to share them so I can just use one account. I just upgraded to Lion, so that may be an issue. Best of all would be to merge the two accounts so I don't have to think about it- just like 2 weeks ago. As it is, I have to log into one account to use Quicken, and another to use iWork - else I cannot access the files

Move the files to /Users/Shared/ and from there into the other account.
