How do I use home sharing for music and apps from different devices that already have Apple IDs? We have music from CDs and iTunes.

We have a iPhone 3G used as an touch, a 4S and 2 5s that I would like to share the music and possibly the pictures but i dont know how to set it up since we all have our own Apple IDs. Please help.

Do you have a computer. You can't share music or apps from one mobile device to another. To share photos you need to use photo stream shared albums.

How can I use home sharing between our iphones (create playlists from both accounts at once)

How can I use home sharing between our iphones, so that we can create playlists with songs from both of our libraries? We share a Macbook Pro (separate accounts) and each have the new iphone, but when I have my iphone and try to create a new playlist, I can only grab songs from one account. Is there a way to create a playlist using both accounts since we are sharing?
Does it have to be created within iTunes first on our Mac?

The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
The longer answer: Think of it like this...
You download some music in iTunes. With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network. But the data itself is on your computer. If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device. Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple).
When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"

Morning Saintine,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Home Sharing enables you to stream or transfer music, movies, TV shows, apps, and more among up to five authorized computers in your household. To do so, you will need to Turn on Home Sharing on each computer using the same Apple ID.

Multiple users, devices & Apple IDs in the house. Can we, and how would we, use Home Sharing?

We have three users in the house, each with their own Apple ID, using multiple mac/PC devices. Can we and how would we use Home Sharing to share music, apps, etc?

How do I use home sharing between 2 PCs to transfer my itunes library music?

I have turned on homesharing on both my old and new computer but it won't transfer the music i have uploaded and downloaded to my new computer. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hey Louisebun,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article outlines the steps of moving music to a new computer using Home Sharing. It is good to note that this option allows you to share music between multiple computers if you continue to use both, but it doesn't create a lasting backup. To create a lasting backup, use an external drive or CDs or DVDs.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
I've highlighted some of the key steps below:
On your new computer:
7. Click the Store menu and choose Authorize computer. Enter your Apple ID and password (that was listed in the Advanced menu in step three or used in step 5).
8. Choose Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing from the menu bar.
9. Select the Home Sharing icon on the left side of iTunes.
Note: Once Home Sharing is enabled, the Home Sharing option disappears from the left side of iTunes until a Home Share library is found from another computer.
10. Once your new computer sees the Home Share from your old computer, click that Home Share on the left side of iTunes on your new computer.
11. Select the content in the Home Share that you want to transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, or choose Edit > Select All to choose all of it. Then, click the Import button in the bottom-right corner of iTunes.
12. Wait for the content to finish transferring.
Thanks,

How do I use home sharing between my home computer and my work computer so I can listen to the same music both places?

Hello. I am trying to use my work computer with itunes to listen my my music on my itunes on my computer at home. I have signed into both. My computer at home is off, is there a way to listen to all my music on both computers by using Home Sharing or another means?

The best way I know is to sign up for iTunes Match. All your music is stored in the cloud and can be accessed by up to 10 devices.

How do I use Home Sharing to share apps between multiple Apple ID accounts on differect PCs in the same house?

I purchased an app called "Where's My Water?" on my iTunes account. My iTunes account and iTunes library is set up on my desktop PC. Anyway, my mom wanted the app. She has her iTunes account and library set up on our laptop PC. So, I connected both my desktop and her laptop via Home Sharing by entering my account information on both computer's Home Sharing screens. The app was transferred from my library to her library. When I synced her iPod to her PC, it did not move the app to the iPod. So, I figured I would just manually download it off the app store on her iPod and she wouldn't get charged $0.99 because the app was already in her iTunes library. It turns out when I bought the app on her iPod, it actually took out money from her account. I want to know what went wrong. Why didn't the Home Sharing thing work so she could get the app I bought without having to buy it herself?

The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
The longer answer: Think of it like this...

Can I use Home Sharing for this...

I have 3 iphones (2 x 6's and 1 x 5), and an ipad, all of which I use one iTunes account. iTunes and Mac software all up to date
Is it possible to use Home Sharing to sync them all exactly the same or is the a better/smarter way to do this.
I have tries to sync them separately and it sort of works when it comes to contacts, apps etc but I want my playlist t be the same and can't seem to get that correct.
Thanks in advance

maybe you could try Evernote (available in APPSTORE) to keep track of your reminders. You could use built-in contacts to save your customers contact though or if you are not satisfied enough with it, search in appstore for everything you need, there's plenty of 'em.

I have Windows 7 main library, iMac with additional library and Apple TV that I want to use home sharing, but windows library doesn't show as a computer on Apple TV.

I have music and movie library on an external drive connected to a Windows 7 machine. I also have home movies and other content on an iMac that I use. I want to turn on home sharing for both and connect them to Apple TV for display, music and podcast. They are all on the same wifi home network, but the Windows library doesn't show up on the ATV device.
I turned off all Windows firewall and I tried to configure port forwarding, but that didn't help.
I will say that this did work at some point, so a patch or an update, or some configuration change has caused it to stop workin at some point in the past six months to a year.

Home sharing not working on ipad with different account name but same apple id that was created, what to do?

PC is set up for home sharing and 2 iPads and 1 iPhone is sharing fine. 1 iPad and 1 iPhone is not home sharing. The only difference on the devices not working is that the Apple account name is [email protected] while the Apple ID is [email protected] which is also the Apple ID used in creating Home Sharing and is the account used on the devices that are working. Do they need to be the same? My wife has her own iTunes account. If they are the same how would her purchases be charged to her account? Thank you for any help.

How to use home sharing for more that five Apple TV 2nd?

Hi,
i know that itunes works (with "home sharing" functions activated) only with max n°5 Apple TV 2nd and n°5 Idevices.
Now, i've a problem because i need to have n°10 Apple TV that work in the same time with itunes installed on Mac Mini (lion OSX).
If i use MAC mini with Lion Server OS, the limit for "Home sharing" increase ? or Is possible to use two account for "home sharing" with only one itunes?
Thank you

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Providing all devices are correctly set up on the same home network, you can stream content on your devices to the Apple TV.
Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
