How to have access to itunes library from 2 accounts from the same machine?

I have within my MacbookPro 2 accounts, one for my job and one personal. All my music is within my personal Itunes. Can I configure my Macbook to access my music from the professional account without having to duplicate all my music library?
Regards

  • How do you share one Itunes library between accounts in the same computer?

    I have a new I-mac and I set up my Itunes library on the main account in the I-tunes folder, as a default. I set up a second account for my wife - how can I share the music in the main library without having to transfer it to a separate folder under her username?

  • How do i get my iTunes library to be showing the same playlist and songs that are on my iPhone 4s.

    How do I get my iTunes library to show the same playlist order and songs order as what is on my iPhone 4s.

    Drag it to an external drive or directly to the other computer, and if needed, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and choose that library. If it contains rented movies, those won't play on the desktop Mac.

  • Sharing itunes library across accounts on the same IMac

    How do you share your ITunes library with other accounts on the same IMac? There's clear advice how to share it with other networked computers, but how do you do it across accounts on the same IMac?

    You can copy the desired library to the shared folder.
    You then need to go to each iTunes app. in the various users and change the iTunes music folder location.

  • How do i import my itunes library into my daughters on same machine?

    I hope that title makes sense?
    We bought my daughter an ipod touch, she now has her own email address etc but all her music (80songs) is in my itunes library & as I'd set her up her own apple ID i want to import her music into her itunes... Someone at the local apple store showed me how to do by opening up sharing of some kind then just dragging it over however I cant remember how they explained to do it!

    Son of a gun...it worked.  I tried that two days ago and if failed...or it was pilot error and I did something wrong. In any event, what I did was go directly to the Time Machine folder and drag out the iTunes library.itl onto my Mavericks desktop, then put it into the iTunes folder, then restarted iTunes and Bingo it worked.
    Thank you very much.

  • Transfering iTunes library between accounts in the same computer??

    Hi everyone
    I use my MacBook both at home and in my office. I work in a small company, so everyone is very relaxed about security. I only have one account, but recently, while at the office I discovered someone browsing at some of my kids' pictures.
    To avoid this,I decided to set up a "office" account. Everything went fine until I opened iTunes and found that I don't have any songs (they must have missed the memo about the new account!)
    Is there an easy way to transfer those songs to my new account? I stress, this is the same computer we're talking about!!!
    Thanks

    Do you mean they were viewing the pix on your computer? iTunes does not have pix for anyone to view. (This is the iTunes forum)
    To avoid this,I decided to set up a "office" account.
    You created a new account on the computer?
    If you are talking about the computer, open the first accounts - > System prefs - Sharing.
    Under Services, turn OFF everything.
    Under FireWall, turn it ON.

  • Move an iTunes library between users on the same mac

    How do I move an iTunes library between users on the same mac?
    I accidentally created a secondary user on my mac some time ago when using the migration tool and am now going back and transferring all my files from the secondary to the admin user profile.
    I wanted to know which itunes files/folders need to be copied over.
    Is the process as simple as replacing the itunes folder on admin with the copied itunes folder from my secondary profile or do I need to delete the admin folder first and then copy the old folder over or do I delete the contents of the folder and replace with the copied contents?
    I am using shared folders to move between users, but want to make sure that I am picking the right files to transfer.
    Thanks in advance.

    Assuming you have left iTunes to default settings so everything is still in the iTunes folder the way iTunes likes it to be, copy the whole of the iTunes folder to the new location.  If it is in the default directory (Home > Music) for iTunes the application will automatically use it there for the new account.  If you put it elsewhere you will have to start iTunes and immediately hold down the option key to direct it to the new location.
    It is just possible you will have to change permissions.  If you encounter those issues read the part about changing permissions on the iTunes folder in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11583914

    You have asked two different questions?
    Your account is just a user name and password.  You can access that to buy content from any computer with itunes, just sign it.
    Your library wil only be where your put it. Yo can copy it from one computer to another, or from your backup copy of your computer ot another computer. In some countries you can download some past itunes purchases.
