How do i share song files through two accounts.

I have my account and my guest account, which I allow my little brothers and cousins to use. How do I make it so my music is shown up on the guest account with out taking up hard drive space. Is there any way that the music can just be in the shared folder?

Try this:
1/ While in your account, open iTunes. Go iTunes>Preferences>Sharing. Select "Share my Library on my local network"
2/ Select what you want to share (or just select "share entire library")
3/ Without logging out of your account, log into the guest account.
4/ Open iTunes. Select iTunes>Preferences>Sharing. Select "Look for shared libraries"
5/ You are done!
As long as you maintain iTunes running in your own account guests can access it through Shared
Hope it helps!

  • How do i share a file so another user of my mac pro can access

    Hi
    I have a file on my mac pro that I want others to use for presentations without them seeing all my private info.  I have set up a new user but how do I share the file the other user on my mac pro can see it?

    Place the files you want to transfer on the Desktop
    Click on the Finder or desktop to swtich to Finder, then Go > Computer, then double click on the boot drive, then on the Users folder.
    Open the target User folder and inside is a Public folder > Drop Box, just drag and drop in there and the permissions change so that user can use the file.

  • How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac?

    How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac? Seems this should be a preferences choice.

    When you share your library between users, you may run into permission and ownership problems, if both users are editing the Aperture library and not only reading it. To avoid that, it helps to put the Aperture library onto a separate disk or a separate partion of your hard drive. For s separate partition or disk you can enable the "ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then all users can access the library as owners of this library.
    You might try to put the aperture library into a shared folder on your mac, but that has caused problems recently, i.e. when the library also contains video files.

    My husband and I use the same home computer. He has his ITunes library that links to his Ipod. I have my ITunes library that links to my Ipod. How can we share songs between our libraries? (Windows - Vista)

    No. Its not possible.
    Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.

    pl/sql runs inside the database. so your file also should be on the database server file system for you to be able to read.
    check out UTL_FILE package. This is the database package to read/write files on the database server.

    How do I share my playlists with other accounts/users on my Mac?

    Hello,
    I have a similar question, which I posted 8perhaps inappropriately) in the Home Sharing discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17405588#17405588
    The problem I have is that it simply doesn't work and the question I have is how you do not move the the iTunes Library file or the iTunes Library.xml file when they are actually in the folder you are told by the article to move in the first place.

    i have one imac. my wife and i each have our own user accounts and itunes library.  How do we share selected music between user accounts?

    To give other users read-only access to your library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
