How do you copy songs between two shared libraries?

I have a mac book, hubby has a pc. We have set up home sharing and can see and listen to each others songs. However he has spent the time taking adding music from our CD's to his library. I would like to copy songs from his library and place them in mine but am having no luck. I have tried looking for answers on the forums but have not been successful finding any answers. I have tried copy paste and import. I am sure I am doing something wrong but have no idea what it is. Can someone out there please help?

iTunes has two kinds of sharing!
*Regular sharing* allows viewing and listening, but not copying.
*Home sharing* is the one you want; it allows copying as well. Here is the link to the support article for Home Sharing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819

Can't copy songs between home shared libraries

I used to have home sharing set up to automatically copy songs between my wife's iMac and my Mac Pro. About a month ago, I changed the boot drive in my Mac Pro to an SSD. Sometime after, I also de-authorized all of my computers from iTunes (I had some dead computers that I wanted to clear out and re-authorized the two computers we are currently using). I just noticed today that songs we each buy are no longer synched between our computers, and I suspect either the iTunes deauthorization or the moving of files between computers must be the reason.
The shared libraries still work, and I can play songs from my wife's library and vice-versa, but we can't even manually copy songs. The "Settings" and "Import" options on the bottom are missing, the option to show songs missing from my library is also missing, and where I used to be able to drag songs from one library to another, this no longer works.
Both of our computers are on the same network and we are both logged into the same account. I read other posts that suggested turning off home sharing on both computers. I did this, rebooted both computers, and then turned sharing back on. Still no importing. I also tried logging out of iTunes and logging back in again, but still no dice.
Apple products are so nicely designed, but when they break, they often leave no clues as to what is going wrong, and it can be infuriating trying to figure out why!
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?
Help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Ron

Okay ... I just solved my own problem. I read about turning on / off home sharing, but I didn't realize that there are two similar sounding options for doing this. I went to "Preferences --> Sharing" and chose to turn on / off sharing of my library. This did nothing.
However, I later noticed that in the Menu Bar under "Advanced", there is also a way to turn on / off home sharing. I turned this on / off, and my files are now sharing again. Yay!!!

How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

Load the library which doesn't contain the songs and drag them into the open iTunes application window. If you need to move them between different computer user accounts, put them into /Users/Shared/.

How to share/exchange songs between two iPods?

Hi,
I would like to know of a way(s) to share/exchange songs between two iPods (synced to two separate computers).
Thanks,
Apu

Apu,
It's possible to share between two computers but not two iPods, change the settings for the pod to manual > Edit > Preferences > iPod.

How do you share information between two iPod Touches?

My girlfriend and I are considering iTouches to replace our old Palm Z22s. We beam a LOT of data between our Palms — grocery lists, contacts, events, notes, tasks, expenses, odometer/milage entries on cars — almost every day.
How does one instantly transfer data between two iTouches?

So there's no easy way to do this? Can't say I'm surprised, the way Apple has become a "my way or the highway" brand.
It's simple: I've added 10 items to my grocery list. She's added 5 items to hers. We're at the grocery store, where I'm about to shop while she runs other errands.
How do I get her shopping list from her iTouch to mine while standing there in front of the store?
With our Palm Z22s, using 10-year-old technology, she can beam me her list in about 2 seconds.
With the iPod Touch, apparently she can't send me her list at all, unless, what? She copies down each item into an email, finds free wifi, sends the email to me, I receive it, then copy the items in the email back into my copy of our shopping list app?
REALLY?!?

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.

How do you share music between two iTunes accounts on one computer?

My wife and I share a Windows 7 laptop computer. We have separate Windows logins and separate iTunes accounts. When we had separate computers we were able to use Home Sharing to share our music but this doesn't work when you have two accounts on the same computer.
Is there a way to share our music libraries without wiping out what is already stored in our individual iTunes music libraries?

How do you copy songs from an IPod to your IPhone?

I have songs that were on my old laptop that I gotten rid of which had the songs that I took from my CD. I would just use my CD but, I have missed placed it. I am having trouble moving any songs that I had copied from my CD to my IPod, from my IPod to my other devices. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Laptop: old Dell computer
IPod nano: Model # MC072LL with software vers.1.0.2

You will need to find 3rd party software to move that music back to your iTunes library. Use Google to find one you like.

How do you share songs between accounts and different computers?

My mom and I both like a song. She bought it on iTunes and wants to give it to me to have as well but we don't know how to do that..... Any knowledge on this?

You can share an iCloud calendar with another iCloud user/ID either privately (which allows editing) or publically (which only allows viewing). This is explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694.

How can you remove clustering between two BO XI 3.1 Servers

Hi,
Servers A and B have been clustered before and because we have done so many changes to each of the servers, we thought of uninstalling everything from both servers and reinstall BO XI 3.1 server on each.
Installed BO XI 3.1 server on Server A, applied SP2 and this worked fine.
Installed BO XI 3.1 server on Server B, applied SP2 and this worked fine too.
We performed the installation using most of the default settings e.g. port number on both servers (nothing on setting them up as clusters).
However, when we checked the Settings on both CMCs of our BO XI 3.1Servers, there was information under the Cluster Tab as follows and these were on both servers' CMCs:
CMS Name: ServerA.cms (ServerA.ourdomain:6400)
Cluster Name: @ServerB.ourdomain:6400
Cluster Members:
ServerA.cms (ServerA.ourdomain:6400)
ServerB.CentralManagementServer (ServerB.ourdomain:6400)
Question: How can we remove clustering from both servers (we do not want it in the first place and we did not think we set it up when we reinstalled BO XI 3.1 on each).
Hope someone can help us.
Thanks.

This is the high level procedure.
1. STOP SIA on the server to be removed say X.
2. Delete all the servers that belong to X from CMC.
3. Delete the SIA on X and un-install.
There are some key points to watch out for- you can check the admin guide..but at a high level this is the process i have followed in the past.

How Do you pass events between two Different VIs

Hi everyone
I have created this event driven VI.... I now want to drive the events from another VI that doesn't generate events but is static or just plain runs
Thank
dale

Hi Megan
I got your code snippet and I see how you do that. I am new at Lab view and probably am not really getting into the overall architecture if you will. So I have developed this event driven interface tool box that have within the events a section of code. The Tool box is a standalone. I want to use it from a calling SubVI - as you have shown in your first example without making the sections within the event more Sub vi's. Think of it as using the events within the toolbox. The toolbox (SubVi) by itself stays within a loop until the user presses a finish button during standalone. When the toolbox is called by another VI it does not get stuck! It simply returns. I am somewhat spoiled by using VB or C++ just to call the section that gets executed within the class or Sub. Furthermore when I try to make the pieces within the events Sub Vi's I get a large number of inputs and outputs and a bunch of warnings "insane wires" - These are caused by the properties nodes needing to expand once they are placed into the sub vi.
To further complicate things when I use your first example ... I don't register changes only static conditions when only going throught the subV i once.
Sorry for being such a pain

How do you fix iMessage between two iPhones if both aren't working?

iMessage has gone out between my iPhone 5 and someone's iPhone 4 or 4s. We don't know how to fix it. We have tried reset things, delete things and nothing works

Try a reset or restart of the devices.
If iMessage still is not available, turn iMessage off and back on. Do this on both devices.

Please help: how do you pass events between two panels?

hi
this is probably very simple but so far no one of you could help me. i checked the tutorials but there's nothing. i've got a panel in a panel. when a child-panel-button is clicked i want to notify the parent which then exchanges the child panel with another.
another question
if i use paint() in a swing program, most components don't get displayed. why? paint() would be a useful loop to make user events visible.
thanks

code:
class PnlParent extends JPanel implements ActionListener
add( pnlChild1Obj ) ;
add( pnlChild2Obj ) ;
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
//if button of pnlChild clicked then exchange pnlChild
// the invisible button method in PnlParent does not work
// i get a NullPointExeption, maybe i cannot reference an outer panel button
// from an inner panel
remove( pnlChild2Obj ) ;
add( pnlChild3Obj ) ;
class PnlChild1 extends JPanel implemts ActionListener
add( btn1 ) ;
add( brn2 ) ;
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
class PnlChild2 extends JPanel
add( text )
class PnlChild3 extends JPanel implemts ActionListener
add( btn3 ) ;
add( brn4 ) ;
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
}
