How do you share music on one iMac between users???
Hello,
I would like to know how to share music on the same computer between users...
My wife and I have different user accounts on our iMac and I can't figure out how to share music.
I tried everything as told by Apple but it seems you can only share music on your iMac with a network. If that is what I understand...
I just want to have all the music on my user account and when my wife is on her user account I want her to be able to view the photos.
Again, we are only using one iMac.
Thank you for your help in advance...

Copy the iTunes folder and the iPhoto library to the /Users/Shared/ folder
you mean copying the library files as well, right?
Yes.
the situation is, my wife and I both have iPhones, with our respective accounts (contacts, apps and all). we have separate accounts on our iMac. I want to share the music and photos on my iTunes, so her iPhone can have the same music and photo selection.
any suggestions?
Yes. Do as suggested above.
Each user can select their own content to sync.
Contacts and calendars will be from each user's computer login.
You can select different photos, movies and music to sync

HT1329 how do you transfer music from one ipod to another ipod
How do I move music from one ipod to another ipod?
The music that is on the one iPod must be stored in an iTunes library first before it can be synced/added to the other one. You cannot transfer content directly from one iDevice to another.

HT4527 how do you move music from one library to a new library
I need to move my music from one itues library to a new library. How do I do this without having to re download all my music CDs?
Open old library.
Drag files from iTunes window to a folder on desktop then delete from iTunes.
Open the new library.
File > Add file/folder to library and select file/folders you want to move.
May I ask why you are creating a new library? -
How do you transfer music from one iPod to another?
How do you transfer all of your music from one iPod to another DIRECTLY from that iPod? Not all of the music on my iPod is in my library so I'm not sure how to transfer it, if it's even possible.
Search for an app that may utilize BlueTooth to do that.
