How do I use Home Sharing in iTunes version 11.2.2?

I am trying to sync all of the music and playlists from my old mac book to my new one. I am signed in to Home Sharing and can view all of my songs on both computers but I can't figure out how to import those songs onto the new computer. From what I've read it seems like I need a "Show menu" at the bottom of my iTunes window but it isn't there. How do I get that to appear? Or is there a way to import the songs without it?

  • How do you use home sharing if Itunes library is on external hard drive?

    How do you set up home sharing if IPhoto and Itunes libraries are on external hard drive?

    You might want to start with a new instandce of iTunes - instructions on how to do this is on the web depending on whether you're running Windows or Appls Software.  The below URL is one site you can use.
    http://ipod.about.com/od/advanceditunesuse/ss/Multiple-Itunes-Libraries-One-Comp uter.htm
    Set up your iTunes to utilize the music files on your external Hard Drive.
    On iTunes pull down menu select Preferences.
    Click on the advanced tab and set the iTunes Media Folder location to your External HD
    Click on the File pull down menu and import the folder containing your music into iTunes.
    Turn on Home Sharing on your computer  - Click on the File pull down menu and click on Home Sharing.
    Turn on Home Sharing on your other device(s)
    On Music on iPad or iPhone, tap on the More tab and if you set things up right, you will see your Library name.  Click on this and if things go as they should, it will connect to your library and you will see your albums, artists, playlists, sogs etc.
    Good luck.

  • 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?"

  • 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? 

    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 do I use Home Sharing with two different apple accounts?

    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.

  • 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 drag and drop files between computers when using Home Sharing in ITunes?

    How can I drag music files between computers while using Home Sharing? An older version of ITunes had a Home Sharing icon in the column browser near the playlist so it was easy to drag and drop.

  • Transfering Music using Home Sharing with iTunes 9.2.1

    I used home sharing on many occasions in earlier versions of iTunes just for playing music. The shared libraries had a small house icon next to them. Everything was fine and dandy until I decided to step it up a bit, by attempting to transfer music from my main library (on my iMac with iTunes 9.2.1) to my PC laptop (running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with iTunes 9.2.1). A cryptic error message was shown when i tried to drag a song from my shared iMac library to my hard drive library (on my pc), following the icon for the library changing to a blue stack of music notes. I then tried the reverse, attempting, on my imac, to change the home sharing settings so that my library would sync with my pc's library, after which the icon changed to the blue stack of music notes. In both cases, the "Settings..." button and "Import" buttons disappeared as shown in the following graphic:
    http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECAREALLGEOS/HT3819/HT38195-en.png
    Both computers now will play each other's library music but will not allow for me to change home sharing settings nor transfer the music.
    If anyone knows how to rectify this issue or can better explain why iTunes is acting this way, please respond to this post. Your responses will be greatly appreciated.

    in order for home sharing to work
    (a) iTunes on all machines must be authorized for the same iTunes store account
    (b) all machines must be on the same network
    (c) all machines must have access to the internet.

  • 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.

  • Unable to copy music from Mac to Windows PC using Home Sharing on iTunes 12

    Hi all,
    I use both a Macbook Pro and a Windows PC.  I am trying to copy music from my Macbook Pro onto my PC within iTunes 12 using HomeSharing but seem to be unable to do this.
    When I connect to the Mac library on the PC, I can play the tracks without any issue.  But when I try to drag the song to the side to copy to the PC , nothing happens.  I don't get the window that should pop up on the left of the screen and there is no option for Import at the bottom of the screen either.
    I am however able to copy music from the PC to the Mac without an issue.  The window pops up on the left when I drag the track within my Mac, and the Import button shows up on the bottom of the screen.  It is only when I want to copy from the Mac to the PC.
    I have checked the Sharing tab in preferences, and on both systems it is enabled.  I tried disabling and then re-enabling.
    I am also unable to using the download Purchased items in iTunes, as my Mac and PC are connected to different iTunes accounts.  Both machines are authorised to play both accounts though.
    Any advice?
