How do you use home sharing to send an album from a pc to an iphone?

I just got an iphone 5 and am trying to move purchased music from my husband's itunes to my phone.  I've enabled home sharing, the music is on my iphone but will only play when his computer is on and sharing is enabled.  How do I permantley add it to my phone?  Is that allowed??

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?"

  • How do you use home sharing if Itunes library is 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.

    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.

  • HT3819 How can you use Home sharing to play music on an xbox 360 for example thats connected to the same WiFi network?

    My console is running under the same WiFi service as my itunes, iphone, and all the content i have saved in my library. How can i link, perhaps through HomeSharing, my content from my phone or computer to my xbox console?

    You can't.  Homesharing allow to share your iTunes content over Apple's devices.  XBox isn't made by Apple but Microsoft.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    I just got a MacBook Pro and I used Home Sharing to transfer my library from my PC. However, my PC's battery died in the middle of the process so only half of my music was transferred. The sharing option no longer shows up on the left.  Do I need to start completely over and delete the content in my new library to prevent duplicates or is there a way to continue the process?

  • On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

    On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

    Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
    Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers.  To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing.  Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share.  You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons.  Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
    Go to Music in your Home Share.  Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.
