How to hide kids albums with home sharing on

I have 3 teenage kids and have home sharing turned on. How do I hide their albums in my iTunes and on my iPhone/iPad?

Your best bet is to clone both devices onto two separate drives, or together onto a larger external hard drive that can cover the capacity of both with its own separate partitions.  http://www.bombich.com/ Carbon Copy Cloner is able to do that for you.  Test your clone boots and is mapped correctly before erasing the drive in question.

  • How do i share apps with Home Sharing?

    How do I share apps from one iPhone/iPad to another with Home Sharing?  "Automatically download apps" is checked on both computers on the network, but they never show up.

    As indicated by ckuan, as long as all devices are using the same Apple ID for store purchases then you will be able to share everything you purchase from iTunes. Just make sure you log-in to the iTunes Store on each device using the same Apple ID.

  • How many ATV2's can I use with home sharing at once?

    I am installing a fairly large home network. I have 10 ATV2's I would like to use on 1 network using home share, all will be connected via ethernet. Is there a limit to how many atv2's I can have connection one itunes account with home share or a limit using the remote app?

    It used to be a limit of about 5 AppleTVs per iTunes library with AppleTV 1 but that registered them as devices rather than using Home Sharing.
    I suspect but don't know for sure that Home Sharing has to be more liberal as Home Sharing now works to portable devices like iPads too, and if the household had a couple of AppleTV2's, iPhoness and iPads they could reach 5 very quickly.
    Having said that we just don't know.  There is a limit of sharing to 5 computers with Home Sharing, so it's possible the same applies to individual device types, we just don't seem to know from the support docs posted.
    Personally I'd be surprised if 5 was the limit as under the old system if you ran out of 'Devices' in itunes you could set up another computer for the next 5 and so forth.  Home Sharing on the other hand just shares to a particular account so you'd see all libraries shared from a particular account on all AppleTVs.

  • Problems with home sharing on my iPhone

    So my home sharing keeps crashing after it gets to 50% on my iPhone. I choose the computer I want and it just sits there and loads until it hits 50% then it stops and refuses to load anymore. I first thought it was the computer I was connected to. At the time it started I was connected to my dads iMac and thought it was something to do with the apple IDs we were using on that computer. He has a different apple ID then me and I thought it was something to do with the multiple IDs. So I logged out from His sharing and logged in onto mine using my computer. After changing the IDs and restarting both my iPhone and my computer I tried it again. Same exact thing. It loads 50% and stops no matter how long I leave it for. I tried turning off my firewall and logging out of home sharing and logging back in on my iPhone. No joy. So I'm stumped. I have no idea why my phone will not connect with home sharing. Also my dads phone will connect to home sharing. Its just my phone this happens with. And this started to happen about 1 month ago when the new iPhone 5 came out. I'm also sure that it started happening after I installed IOS 6 on my phone.

    Personally I think recognition of libraries has always been a bit flaky with both versions of AppleTV.
    Sometimes this is down to local network issues, but sometimes, for whatever reason I think communication to say iTunes is available or not between the 2 devices is not always robust, and a restart of itunes, AppleTV, router or all can be required to kick start things.
    Some people have lots of issues. I don't see that many but occasionally a library isn't available when I know itunes is running or seen and then can't be accessed.

  • How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to ...

    How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to computer and other devices?

    No need to "import". Just find the photo in iPhoto (i.e. within the application), click it once so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Copy (or just ⌘-C). Go to Address Book, select the contact, click the Edit button at the bottom, click once on the blank photo icon so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Paste (or just ⌘-V).
    FYI, the original iPhoto images are stored as individual files, in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/subfolders.
    Hope this helps...

  • Can a family of four share one i tunes account with home sharing?

    Can a family of four share one i tunes account with home sharing?

    Sure but it depends more on how many and what kinds of devices are being connected to each other for Home Sharing. Up to five computers can be authorized to use iTunes Home Sharing. I don't believe there is a limit on the number of iOS devices, Apple TVs, iPhones, iPads and iPod Touchs, that can connect using Home Sharing.

  • How do I change the main home sharing computer?

    I just got rid of my PC and got a Mac.  My main computer for home sharing on iTunes was the PC...how do I change it over to my Mac for home sharing with my macbook and apple tv?

    If you are completely taking the PC off line, go into iTunes first and deauthorize the computer. This doesn't really have anything to do with Home Sharing, it's just a good thing to do when you're eliminating a computer that was part of your iTunes ecosystem.
    Home Sharing will follow your Apple ID. Presumably you will be on the same WiFi Network. So, get the itunes library moved to your Mac, Set up iTunes on your Mac with the same Apple ID. In iTunes, acitivate Home Sharing form the iTunes Advanced Menu. Enjoy.

  • HT1727 How do you grant permission for home sharing and authorizing?  My mac did home share, but now says, "The required directory was not found or has a permissions error", when I try to authorize.

    How do you grant permission for home sharing and authorizing?  My mac did home share, but now says, "The required directory was not found or has a permissions error", when I try to authorize.

    OK, I just got off of the phone with Apple and still no joy. They had me try a few things that did not work, then told me to Archive and Install, which did not either. Anyway, thanks for the additional help very note worthy, but still no joy. Also an email to iTunes Support took me here

    I have a Users/Shared folder but since the files we are talking about are invisible, I can see how it is structured.
    And by the way I tried this one
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3577004#3577004
    and it did not work. However, when I install a fresh copy of Tiger on the external it did authorize the computer and was able to play the downloads. But coping the invisible file to my boot drive was not successful. But , like I said the music did play when I started up from the external. So I guess that may be my only solution, unless someone can tell what the correct directory is and where it for iTunes downloads.

    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer

    Transferring playlists
    If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
    Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library > Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.
