How to do Home Share with 2 different Apple ID's? Spouse and I

How do I set up the Home Share when there are 2 different Apple ID's? Spouse and I. We each have accounts but are trying to share music. Is this possible? Can I reset my Apple ID and Password?

Hello HopeFloat12,
Thanks for the question. Depending on the circumstances, and what you wish to achieve, there are a couple of options:
A) Home Sharing
B) Music Sharing
C) iTunes Match (Subscription $24.99/yr)
The following article outlines the differences between Home Sharing and Music Sharing, I have also included a link to the marketing page for iTunes Match:

    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 to install mountain lion with a different apple ID?

    More information would be helpful. If you are going to use a different Apple ID, you will need to buy Mountain Lion again. If you have a computer that has Mountain Lion installed, but Mountain Lion was purchased with a different Apple ID you must use the original Apple ID to download Mountain Lion.

  • Will iTunes 10.6.1 on a 2005 iMac be able to home-share with iTunes 7 on a 2008 iMac and a new iPhone 5?

    On the iPhone page I was told the iPhone 5 will work with iTunes 10.7, so maybe I shouldn't upgrade to iTunes 11 since a lot of people don't like it. Nobody here seems to know how to combine my two iTunes libraries on the same account but different-aged iMacs.
    So the question is, if I upgrade my 2008 Intel iMac to Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion and iTunes 10.7, will it and my new iPhone 5 be able to access the 80GB library on the 10.6.1 version of iTunes on the older white 2005 iMac?
    I appreciate any help anyone can give me.  I currently have home sharing via a WiFi network, to rephrase in case my previous unanswered questions haven't been clear, I'm wondering if I will be able to home-share between 10.6.1 and 10.7, and if an iPhone 5 would be able to access a home-shared library on the older 10.6.1 version?

    Thanks for the link, Niel.  I'm kind of disappointed with Apple that they're making us buy an upgrade to her OS to get all of her Apple products to work together.  It seems weird that we could have any old Windows machine and this would work great, but the fact that she has a MacBook is screwing this up.

  • HT3819 how to use home sharing using a different apple id?

    I use to have a regular ipod where I would buy music from itunes using my parents email account and apple id, but now I have an ipod touch where I set it up using my own email and apple id, how do I transfer my music from my parents desktop to my laptop? I'm having difficulties doing so because we don't use the same apple id. Is there a way this can be done?

    You could copy the music to a DVD to your laptop then authorize it to play the songs purchased with that other Apple ID.

  • How do you do home share with in different accounts on the same computer?

    How do you homeshare within different log in accounts (and itunes accounts) within one computer?

    Simply connect them.  One computer with one iTunes can manage multiple devices.  They're tracked by S/N but you might wish to assign them unique names so that you can track them yourself.
    The only minor issue is app updating and purchases while on the computer.  It's necessary to log out and back in to the "correct" ID.  Much easier to do these things from the iPods.

  • Can ipad home share with my laptop

    can my ipad home share with my laptop

    I have both my computer and the ipad2 running homeshare, and both on the same wifi and both signed into same apple ID.  The homeshare on the ipad works fine, the computer shows up, I can click it and see everything on the computer, but for some reason the computer doesn't see the ipad.  The Home share doesn't even show up on the left of itunes on the computer.  Any suggestions?

  • Can I share my iCloud Photostream with someone else with a different Apple ID? How?

    Can I share my iCloud Photostream with someone else with a different Apple ID? How?

    Yeah no kidding.
    I have a big paid up MobileMe account with tons of gallery stuff - this will all go away for me in July, and I'll miss it - it took no learning to use, and it was built into everything - just intuitive to post to a gallery password protect it, and send a link to a friend.  Click click done!
    It bothers me a lot when features I really enjoy and use are pulled in these half baked new apps and services.
    iMovie used to be quite good, but the new one is very restrictive - it's a step backwards in some ways.
    MobileMe was fine, but iCloud takes away the Gallery???? - another step backward.
    We use some iPhones at work for shooting some videos and technical engineering photo's, and while it's pretty cool that the iPhone photo's get put on the photostream of "Jason's iMac", I don't have instant access, and I would really like to be able to do that. If it could be done, then I can stay at home and work sometimes and I can get the photo's automagically.  
    Apple - please fix this.

  • My ipad is syncing notes to an old phone with a different apple id how can I change it to sync to the new iphone icloud is off and so is home sharing

    my ipad is syncing notes to an old phone with a different apple id how can I change it to sync to the new iphone icloud is off and so is home sharing

    Apps and Music are not from iCloud. Are from iTunes and App Store.
    You can change this from: Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Sign out and sign in with new ID, but you will have to pay again to download apps that you already have in your old account. Or leave it as it is to share purchases with your son.

  • My Apple TV was set up with a different Apple ID than I have for my ITunes Account.  In other words I have multiple Apple ID's.  How can get these accounts to sync up?

    If you wish to use home sharing then you need to setup the Apple TV under your ID.
