HT1203 How do you share between users with Windows 8

I have two user accounts on my computer.
How do I share my music between them with iTunes with Windows 8.

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • How do you setup multiple users with multiple devices on itunes?

    I'm trying to find the easiest solution to our family music situation.  4 users, 4 devices (ipods, ipad, imac, pc laptops), and 4 different musical song interests.  I'm sure there are millions of households that have the same exact situation.  I want to be able to pull up only my musical library, not my kid's music, and then easily synch it to my ipod.  Everyone in the family wants to do this same thing.  I have spent alot of time trying to search the forums/internet and there does not seem to be one "most popular" solution.  I did setup iCloud for each family member using a different Apple ID than my main Apple ID, and I'm happy that ALL the music shows up on my ipad.  But between iCloud, MobileMe, Home Sharing it all gets very confusing.  Some say to setup multiple computer login accounts, and others say to setup 1 playlist for each family member and synch from that playlist.
    I would think 1 itunes account allows you to easily share a purchased song with 4 users, instead of buying songs twice.
    So here are a few of my questions-
    1-Is it best to have only 1 itunes account and then synch all devices off of 1 main computer? 
    2-Or since we each have iCloud accounts, will they be able to synch their ipods from their own pc laptop?
    3-And when they synch, what is the easiest way to exclude other users music in itunes? (other than unchecking hundreds of artists)
    4-Or setup 4 separate computer login accounts on the imac and then keep 1 itunes account?  If so, how does this work when they open itunes?
    Again, I'm hoping for a straightforward simple solution.  I don't want to move & create libraries, download 3rd party software, etc. etc.  Please reply if you found something that works for your family.  Thanks in advance.

    turingtest, I do have a couple questions. 
    Number one, does everyone in your family only sych their ipods from only 1 computer?  If everyone only uses itunes from 1 computer I can see how that will work.  But what if kids want to use itunes for windows?  Will "Home Sharing" allow all their music purchased on the MAC, to be also displayed on their itunes for windows laptop?  I noticed you have PCs and also an ipad.  How do you manage your family's music on these devices?
    Also, how did you first get everyone's music library into their own library?  Drag & drop?  Is the "grouping field" you mentioned under "view", then "view options"?  What does this do? 
    Thanks.
    Sorry I missed your post earlier. Normally I follow up on any replies. This one must have fallen off the page on a busy day.
    As my kids have left home I have created for them a complete clone of the familiy library, then deleted the tracks from it they don't want. Over time their libraries will divirge, but if needs be they can still update their devices using the library at home. Handy when eldest's kit was stolen.
    Grouping is just another property, useful because it isn't generally overwritten by other software but is stored in the tags, so preserved when you copy files from one place to another. You can make the column visible and edit for multiple tracks in Get Info. Some software calls the same field "mood" or "sub-genre". iTunes has a specialist purpose for it generally used with classical music, but it doesn't seem to work very well for that and I don't use it that way.

  • How Do You Share A Superdrive with A Windows Machine?

    Hi
    I'm used to being able to share DVD burning drives between Windows desktops e.g. if I want to back up some files on my Windows laptop, I can use the DVD burner in another Windows box.
    How do I share the Superdrive in my iMac desktop machine?

  • How do you share library's with different accounts and different users

    My family has lots of music and to save hours of time we want to share our music, is this possible? The only problem is, we each have different Apple ID's and our own computers.

    Each device will ONLY sync what you select.
    Just do not select the apps that you do not want.  Only select the apps that you do want.

  • How do I share between users on the same macbook?

    I have a brand new macbook... the tool at the store wouldn't let me test drive this computer without him first putting a user account in place other than administrative rights (makes no sense to me either) Anyway, I set everything up under this username and now I have established another Admin account under MY Apple ID... as it still references his name in all of the root files. I am pretty intuitive in how to handle this issue......if it were a PC... bare with me . I'm learning.
    I surmise that I am able to back everything up and simply wipe the computer as a fix but I am trying to do everything short of that if possible....
    HELP!!!!

    Users -> Shared folder allows you put files in a folder both users can see on a Mac.

  • How do you share/backup photos with iPhoto 8?

    In order to be able to view photos on any of our home computers, as well as for backup purposes, I had a script which whenever activated updated the Picture folders on each computer from the one that imported the pictures.
    However, after having installed iLife 08 on two computers, that script is no longer effective. It seems that my entire photo library is now in one enormous file (I have 25k pictures). One would think I could replace that file on the secondary computers with the one from the primary, but that would involve a 50+GB replacement every time -- hours instead of minutes.
    Any sagely advise available??

    Select the photo(s) and click share and share to the face book album you want

    after i updated my iMovie, sharing to idvd is gone, how will i transfer my movie to a dvd now? I bought my macbook in early 2011, still have the dvd drive.

    The apps in the multitaskbar should appear like pages on the whole display. To close them, just swipe from the bottom to the top. you can select single apps for closing, when you swipe them like you would swipe your homescreens.

  • How do you share iCloud Photos with a group

    I have 8 people that I routinely share photos with in iCloud.  I have to manually add each person every time I create a new album.  Is there a way to create a group so I can simply add the group email and everyone will get notified?  I can create an email address on my server ([email protected]) and forward it to everyone's Apple ID, but that doesn't really work.  What if everyone added the address [email protected] as an alternate address in iCloud?  Would that work?

  • Please Help! How do you sync sub contacts with windows mobile

    I have a Treo 700wx (windows Mobile 5.0) that will not sync my sub contacts from outlook (windows XP Pro)!  I have been able to sync all other email and the parent contacts file but can not find the sub contacts.  I am in sales and have used sub cntacts to organize sellers, buyers, others and really need this to be on my phone.  Can anyone help me with this?  Thank you!
    Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Alltel)

    i will just assume that what you mean about the sub contacts are the sub-folders in your outlook.
    im sorry to tell you that subfolder synchronization is not supported by the activesync of windows mobile.
    you need to install a third party application to have it sync to your phone.
    the application that's being used some is the pocketmirror for windows mobile.
    it can sync public folders, subfolders and business contacts folders.

  • How do i share my server with windows computers on my network

    I just got my mac mini server not long ago, and i am trying to slowly convert my office from pc to MAC.  But i am having trouble sharing files, sharing my MAC's screen with a pc, and connecting my MAC to the router.  Does anyone know what to do? and last question, is there any way for my mac to use its mail service on a pc (i.e. mail to outlook)? Thanks!!!!

    You're going to have to be more specific with the issues, errors and diagnostic messages that you are encountering, and what particular configuration you are seeing to establish.
    Screen sharing is available from Mac to Mac, and from Windows once you load a VNC client on the Windows box such as TightVNC or some other VNC client, and configure and connect it.
    Here are some notes on getting Windows file clients to connect to a Mac OS X Server SMB Samba file server; you have to drop some of the Windows security requirements to allow it to connect to the Mac OS X Server box.
    Microsoft Office Outlook isn't traditionally used with mail servers other than Microsoft Exchange Server.  (While Outlook was good with Exchange Server and has likely gotten better over the years, it was classically rather poor when working with SMTP servers.)  More commonly, Outlook Express (and now called Windows Mail) is used for this, or Mozilla Thunderbird, or another SMTP-capable mail client.
    One of the first things you will want to ensure here is correct and functional DNS on your LAN; other services are entirely dependent on DNS, and your ISP DNS cannot provide valid DNS for a LAN behind a NAT device.  Launch Terminal.app and issue the command sudo changeip -checkhostname and see if you get an indication that DNS is correct and no changes are required, or that there are DNS errors.  (You will need to enter an administrative password for the sudo command to be accepted.)
    To connect and use a mail server on the Internet, you'll need to have a public static IP address and a correct public DNS configuration, or (far less desirably, and rather more complex) a way to tunnel from a non-static IP address over to a mail gateway service of some sort.  Having static IP and correct DNS is the usual approach.

  • How do you use web inspector with Windows 7

    I plug in the USB cable from my Windows desktop to my phone, The drivers are loaded successfully, but where can I find the Windows equal to Safari's advanced preferences.

    You can't. Web Inspector can only be enabled from a Mac computer. Not Windows.  As it requires the Safari browser on the computer, and the last version of Safari for Windows was discontinued years ago and did not have that feature any way.

  • How do you share reminders with others in new (as of 14/09/12) iCloud?

    Now that reminders has its own 'app' on icloud.com, how do you share reminders lists with others? It has all changed in the past 24hrs or so. It used be possible by sharing from the calendar 'app' on icloud .com, now there is nowhere.

  • How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac?

    How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac? Seems this should be a preferences choice.

    When you share your library between users, you may run into permission and ownership problems, if both users are editing the Aperture library and not only reading it. To avoid that, it helps to put the Aperture library onto a separate disk or a separate partion of your hard drive. For s separate partition or disk you can enable the "ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then all users can access the library as owners of this library.
    You might try to put the aperture library into a shared folder on your mac, but that has caused problems recently, i.e. when the library also contains video files.
