How to share playlists

I am trying to share playlists between two users on my Mac. How do you do this?

In that case, does anybody know of a program or workaround that will make this so?

  • How to share my iTunes Music Library

    My wife and I each have our own iPod and we want to share one Music Library on our desktop computer. I follwed the instructions in iTunes:" How to share music between different accounts on a single computer". This entailed moving the iTunes Music Folder to a publicly accessible location:
    c:\Shared Documents\Shared Music\iTunes Music
    I can access my library, but my wife cannot. I used EDIT, Preferences, Advanced to change the location in her account to the above path, but still no luck.
    The path actually displays as:
    c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\iTunes Music
    What to do?
    Tom

    We share a library by using separate playlists for each iPod.
    I'll try to explain.
    If your iPod is connected to your computer And iTunes is up and running , you should see it listed along the left hand side of iTunes. If you single click on its name, you can also change its name.
    1) Create a playlist that you would like associated with that iPod. Give the Playlist a name that is useful to you - perhaps similar to the name you gave the iPod. eg. "Person 1's iPod" and "Person 1's Playlist."
    Go to the EDIT Menu at the top of iTunes and select PREFERENCES
    Click on IPOD tab.
    Click on MUSIC tab
    select AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE SELECTED PLAYLISTS ONLY
    select the Playlist or playlists that you want on that particular iPOd (eg. ""Person 1's)
    That's how We've been doing it.
    If up until now , you've been doing it manually, be aware of what the difference is. (between manual and automatic update)
    If you have nothing in Person 1's playlist, then the result will be nothing in Person 1's iPod.
    You should be able to go back to your old way just by de -selecting those options in the same Preferences area if you don't like this system.
     I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • How to share an iTunes library

    I have an iTunes library that is probably 90% music I added from CDs I own and the other 10% purchased from the iTunes Store.  Is there a way to copy (or share) this library to my wife's mac on the same network?  Or do I need to add an external drive and move my iTunes media library there for access by both computers.  Also, can all the music be shared on her computer, or only the 90% that I didn't purchase from the iTunes Store?

  • How to share account with multiple devices?

    3 kids with 3 devices - an iPod Touch and two iPads Mini - family shares one account with Apple/iTunes and one library on our family PC.  They use FACETIME and MESSAGES with their friends, and they all see each others messages and conversations.  How do I fix this?  Is there a setting or a way to create sub-accounts off the family account so they can still share the main library for music and video OR do I have to create separate Apple/iTunes accounts for each kid?  Is there a setting on their devices that can help?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  I'm not even sure the right question to ask...

  • HT1203 iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer - I tried to use the instructions to configure 2 different windows users sharing the same iTunes library.  I could not get this to work per the instructions.

    I tried to configure 2 windows users accounts using a single library per the instructions in HT1203.  My iTunes library is on an external drive.  I cannot get this to work.  Any suggestions?

    To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud - How To Share Files With Clients and Colleagues | Creative Suite Podcast: Designers | Adobe TV

    In this episode of the Adobe Creative Suite Podcast, Terry White shows how to share Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign Files with clients and colleagues and all they'll need is a browser to comment and see your Photoshop Layers.

    Terry,
    I guess I miss something. How can I share a folder of photos? When I return from a shoot, I select 20 of the pictures and need to share them with my client to pick up the favorites. Am I supposed to copy and past an URL for each image separately?
    Sometimes I also work with a colleague, I need to share my favorites with him. Same issue.
    We have tried Adobe Cloud, and then went for Dropbox. There we can share a folder and he can put even his pictures in it as well. That's what I call collaboration. And it is free (unlike Adobe Cloud). If you have some word in Adobe, please tell them to either drop it and make a deal with services like Dropbox, or make it properly.
    Thanks.

  • How to share documents which are NOT photos?

    I only see how to create a family for IPhoto sharing.  What about documents in folders I create? How to share non-photo items with friends, without giving someone my username&password, which then gives FULL access to everything?  Not Cool; or so user-friendly!

    You could try to send the large audio attachment using Mail Drop.
    See this help page:   Mail (Yosemite): Add attachments
    Send large attachments using Mail Drop
    You can use Mail Drop to send files that exceed the maximum size allowed by the provider of your email account. Mail Drop uploads the large attachments to iCloud, where they’re encrypted and stored for up to 30 days.
    If you have an iCloud account and you’re signed in to iCloud when you click Send, Mail automatically sends the attachments using Mail Drop. Mail Drop attachments don’t count against your iCloud storage.
    If you don’t have an iCloud account, or if you’re not signed in, Mail asks you whether to use Mail Drop (select “Don’t ask again for this account” to always use Mail Drop).
    If a recipient uses Mail in OS X Yosemite, the attachments are automatically downloaded and included in your message just like any other attachment. For other recipients, your message includes links for downloading the attachments and their expiration date.
    You can turn Mail Drop on or off for an account. Choose Mail > Preferences, click Accounts, select your account, click Advanced, then select or deselect “Send large attachments with Mail Drop.”
    It seems not yet to work always reliably, but perhaps you are lucky.

  • How to share administrator iPhoto library with other users on same iMac?

    How to share administrator iPhoto library with other users on same iMac?

    This is the part I'm referring to:
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    The library stays in the Pictures folder for this.

  • How to share your itunes library with another person

    Hey jimyam,
    Thanks for the question. If you wish to access your music library from multiple devices, anywhere, It sounds like iTunes Match may be the right service for you:
    Apple - iTunes - Match
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    With iTunes Match, all your music can be stored in iCloud — even songs you’ve imported from CDs. You can access your music from all your devices and listen to your entire library wherever you are. And you'll also be able to listen to iTunes Radio without ads.
