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.

  • Sharing music between different accounts on a single computer

    I have read the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203 , but I'm still having a problem.
    Scenario: Two Ipods, one PC (WinXP), one big music library, originally created and stored directly in C:\My Music, which is accessible to all users of the PC. From my non-admin account, I add folders and files to my itunes library, modify songs and artwork, no problem. Now my son has an iPod, and I would like to be able to share out portions of the C:\My Music library with him. It kind of works. He adds files and folders to his library, on his account, in his itunes. The music is there, but it is somehow protected. No artwork, in fact I get the "artwork is not modifiable" message. Nor can he modify any info in the songs. In a few cases, the artwork comes with the songs, but mostly not. In either case, no info in the songs are modifiable. Neither of our Windows XP user accounts are admin, but why does my account seem to "own" the songs? He's not going to be happy without any artwork in his library or on his ipod.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    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.

  • I have a pioneer 50 inch plasma   I purchased new from the company back in 2005.   I tried to hook up an Apple Tv to the pioneer receiver that came with the TV.   I can not get it to work.   The receiver has two HDMI  inputs in the back.

    I have a pioneer 50 inch plasma + I purchased new from the company back in 2005.   I tried to hook up an Apple Tv to the pioneer receiver that came with the TV.   I can not get it to work.
    The receiver has two HDMI  inputs in the back.  However they say they are not for PC's.  Furthermore they must be set up by going to the home menu.    I tried everything, but I can not get the receiver to talk to the Apple TV. I even tried a connector that uses an HDMI to the Apple TV that has the other side of the cable as 5 RCA cables.  I could not get the receiver to see the Apple TV.   I have a newer TV in the house, it has no problem talking with the Apple TV.  But this older system seems to be handicapped in its ability to talk with the newer Apple TV system.
    My Email is [email protected] 
    Do you have any suggestions
    Thanks
    Bob

    I could not access the Apple TV on the television.   If I put the Apple TV directly into by TV, I have an external sound system (entertainment system), therefore I worry that I would by pass the audio.
    Thanks for taking your time to attempt to help!   Any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • "could not get an output file for the document (error RWI 00314)"

    Hi
    We are getting the following error when running the Webi Reports "could not get an output file for the document (error RWI 00314)". The issue seems to be related to Tomcat Memory Heap size, our Tomcat Java heap Size is 1024MB. We were able to resolve  the issue by restarting the Tomcat. We cannot restart the Tomcat in Prod if this is happening frequently.
    Can some one please suggest  any other solution other than restarting the Tomcat frequently, our platform is BOBJ XI 3.1 SP3 with FP 3.1 our Wndows OS is 32 Bit.
    Thank's for your help

    Hi Sreeram,
    Earlier i also faced same kind of problem.
    To solve this kind of problems you need to shutdown the server.
    second thing is when patches missed that time also you will get this kind of problem.
    check j2ee connection is it properly working or not?

    Sounds like the Activation Lock is still set to the previous owner. If you are unable to get that Apple ID and password that iPhone is totally useless to you.
    Take it back to the shop and demand your money back because they sold it to under false pretenses.

  • Once again! Sharing Music on different accounts on a single computer ?

    Somewhere in this forum i got a hint on sharing playlists and music among different (family)users on a single computer.
    (How to share music... from "Buegie")
    But it didn't help!!!
    I have most of my music stored in folders and mp3-format long before i bought iPod and installed iTunes.
    Do I have to copy all THOUSANDS of files into iTunes Music folder, to make the sharing work ???
    Or how do I solve this BIG problem ?
    I can't accept that such a great program doesn't have that function!
    Thanx for any help!!!
    Custom   Windows XP   iTunes 6

    If you want to share the music between users using iTunes, then the song references must be IN iTunes. Somehow that makes sense, no?
    You can leave the MP3s in their current folder arrangement, or you can have iTunes copy them into its own folder organization. Sounds like you want the former....
    - Open iTunes
    - Edit=>Preferences=>'Advanced/General' tab
    --- ‘Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library’: unchecked
    --- ‘Keep iTunes Music folder organized’: unchecked
    - Click OK to accept changes
    - File=>Add Folder
    - Browse to the main folder of your MP3s and select it
    - iTunes will add a reference for all your MP3s you have under that folder
    - Repeat for additional folders you may have
    This will only add a song reference within iTunes, not physically copy the song file to another folder of your PC. If you do not have a song reference within iTunes, you can't use/play/sync the song from iTunes.
    Any questions, post back.
