How to share music on a single computer document doesn't show music in other account on the computer

Hello.  I have 2 accounts on my Windows 7 computer and want both to access the same library.  I have followed the instructions for sharing the iTunes Media folder to the public folder.  I have moved the path appropriately on both accounts.  However, while the account where I initially installed iTunes sees the library in the public folder and when iTunes is open sees the entire library, the other computer account doesn't see anything.  Any insights?

In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and video with an iTunes library on a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content from another computer, all iTunes content on the iPhone that was transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first. The same applies to photos transferred from a computer.
To avoid this, you need to transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer following the instructions included with this link.

    It is almost as if the program does not exist on my computer. If I search for it, the only thing that comes up is the installer. I cannot find it anywhere despite the fact I have installed it numerous times, uninstalled it and conducted a fresh install, and the Adobe website checks says that it is installed.

  • How do I share music between user accounts on the same computer?

    My wife and I have separate user accounts on the same MacBook Pro so that we can both sync our phones to this computer. My account is the primary user account, and my iTunes library is stored in this account. My wife would like to put music on her iPhone so she can run, but I can't seem to access the music library thru her account. I know the files are all on the hard drive regardless, so I just need to know how I can make iTunes on my wife's account access the library that's there. I've tried the steps I could find on Apple's website, but I can't seem to make it work. I'm running the latest versions of everything - even tho the post says I'm running 10.9.1, I'm actually running 10.9.4

  • Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

    Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer? My kids iPods are under my account now with all of our shared music but they want their own iTunes accounts. I would like to transfer the music and apps that they purchased under my account to their new accounts... Is this posible?

    Did you enable the display of system files and hidden files and folders?
    by the way, how can i stop this from happening another time.
    Make a backup!
    i had music there for over 6 years.
    Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.

  • How to share music between different accounts on a single computer. Using this, I can out one account into a shared public folder, but when I want to put a second one there, it says it already exists and do I want to replace it?

    I followed the instructions, but when I got to move a second folder to the new shared folder, it told me it already existed and did I want to repalce it? Not prepared to do this, and lose my wife's itunes songs. I am still in trouble from losing her play lists when I went to IOS 5!

    Hi, remember to set the ownership & permissions for files/folders if you want to be able to amend files or change them from both accounts. If a file is created in one account. it may only be viewed in the other account. but if you change the ownership & permissions from "read only" to "read and write" then files can be amended from both accounts. To get the info, simply click once on the folder or file then command-i to get the file/folders info. you can change things there. Permissions can only be change from the account the file/folder was created in.

  • HT3819 How do I share music between different users on the same computer?

    I understand Home Sharing helps me share music across different computers.  How do I share between different users on the same computer?  We have a few instances of iTunes on a single computer and have to download from the same CD each time.  I must be doing something wrong - seems crazy to have several copies of the same song on one hard-drive when Home Share allows for sharing across computers - how do I share within the same computer?  Please outline specific steps.  THANKS.

    I would like to know how to share Music installed in Time Capsule.. I need that this music could be played in Iphone, Ipad, Apple TV in the same WIFI network

    It is not possible.. the TC is not a media player.
    You must have a computer acting as itunes server.. although there is no such thing. Apple call it home share.

    It is possible to store the itunes library on the TC but that makes no difference .. you still need a computer of some sort turned on to play it.
