HT1727 how do i share itunes library with new iphone device?

I just bought a new iphone and set up new icloud account.  How do I share my itunes librbary with this device/account?

Guys, its not that easy. When you answer questions here, please imagine that some individuals may be new to apple, itunes, and its never just as easy as "select what you want. Explain how to get to the settings you are telling them to use, and step by step help... If they wanted a simple answer they wouldn't spend the time to get on here and ask.

  • How can I share iTunes content with my kids' devices?

    Hello,
    We have 1 computer.
    I have an iPad and an iPod.
    My daughter also has an iPod.
    Untill now we synced all devices with my AppleID.
    Now my daughter want her music on her iPod and not my old fashioned songs.
    Is there a way to create / have multiple AppleID's on 1 computer and still share songs amongst them?
    Additional question: is it an obligation to provide a credit card number with an AppleID? I'd rather not give my daughter my CreditCard details.
    Thanks for your help.
    Stefan

  • Can I share my iTunes library with my iphone

    I thought it might be possible to share my iTunes library with my iphone. I turned home sharing on in my iTunes, but apparently my laptop needs to stay on yo share. How can I share my music with my iphone from my laptop without physically putting them on phone?

    1. Your iTunes on computer must be running and Home Sharing is activated.
    2. On iPhone's Settings > Music > under HOME SHARING : the same Apple ID as on computer.
    3. After the above are done, start iPhone's Music app > More... (bottom right) > Shared > select your computer iTunes Library.
    4. After the circle completed, tap Music and choose whatever music you fancy.

    My Itunes Library and iPhone have fallen out of sync on music over the yearsare - how can I compare my itunes library with my Iphone  to see what songs are missing from my library so I can then bring my Library up to date

    Hello Solid Buck,
    Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing.  It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone. 
    In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone.  I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • How do I share multiple contacts with another iPhone?

    How do I share multiple contacts with another iPhone? Thanks in advance.

    What do you mean share? 
    It is not possible to send contacts from one iPhone to another without installing an app that would support this.  Bump is one such app.
    There is no functionality in iOS to do this.  iCloud can share contacts across multiple iDevices, but it would be ALL contacts, just just a few.

  • How to share Itunes library with multiple users on same laptop

    I have a macbook pro and am the administrator. I have a profile for my daughter as well. How can I share my itunes library with her without manually loading all the songs on her profile which would take up more memory. Can someone please send me a step by step guide as I am struggling with this. Thanks. Jasu UK.

    Move the iTunes library to a location accessible by all accounts on the computer, such as /Users/Shared/ on a Mac, which can be done from the Advanced section of the iTunes preferences. Next, open her copy of iTunes, turn off the option to automatically copy songs to the iTunes Music folder from the same section of the preferences, and drag the folder into the open iTunes window.

  • I have 1 itunes library with an iphone and ipod linked to it.  My daughter bought a ipod touch.  Can we download music from my library into her library.  We want to keep them separate due to I do not want all her games in my phone

    I have 1 itunes library with a phone and ipod linked to it.  My daughter just got a touch.  She would like to have some of my music downloaded into her touch.  How can I do that without having her linked to my library?

    Sync all the devices to the same computer.
    If you do not want her apps, then simply do not select them to sync to your device.
    Each device will only sync what you select to sync.
    lllass gave you a great link for several options.

    I have been assigned a temporary home for the next few months. The only Internet available is via a USB Dongle. The family uses iPads for their daily pleasure. Is there a way to create a shared network from my Mac Book Pro running Mountain Lion OS?

  • How can i share my ITunes library with 2 IPhones?

    My wife and i each have administrator rights on our accounts and both have an IPhone 3G. How can i share the single ITunes library on our MacBook so that the music is synced when we connect our IPhones.
    I have checked other posts but to no avail.
    Thanks

    Drag your \Music\iTunes\ folder to the Shared directory.In the Finder, right click - get info.
    Go to *Sharing & Permissions* tab and make sure everyone has Read/Write permissions and click the Gear and *Apply to enclosed items*.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select *Choose library* and select the _iTunes library file_ in the \Shared\iTunes\ folder.
    Log out and your wife logs in.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select *Choose library* and select the _iTunes library file_ in the \Shared\iTunes\ folder.
    If hse has music in her iTunes library that was not in your , sh eFile -> Add to library and select those items in her \Music\iTunes\iTunes media folder.
    Then she can delete \Music\iTunes\ folder.

  • How to share itunes library with multiple users, and keep organised

    Hi,
    I'm using iTunes (v12) on Windows 7 and am trying to set myself up so that multiple users on this PC are sharing the same library. I've followed the guidance mentioned on a couple of other threads, and put the library in the Users\Public\Music location, and on each user account have pointed iTunes to this location. This has worked OK, as both users can see all the music.
    However, problems arise when User A deletes a couple of files (duplicates for example) - User B logs in, and the song is still listed in the library, but with an alert stating the original file cannot be located. They then have to go through the library and also delete these entries. Equally, if User B adds some music files (as opposed to iTunes downloads), they are not visible to User A until they "Add file to library..."
    Are there any further steps that I can take to keep both users views of the library identical, without manual intervention by the second user whenever the first makes a change?
    Cheers,
    Matt

    The way you've set it up each user has a distinct library, but is accessing a common set of media files and folders.  To accomplish what you want, you need to have a complete iTunes library (database + media) in a common location - typically this would be C:\Users\Public\Music\iTunes.  See turingtest2's notes on Make a split library portable for the steps that may be needed to bring your library into a suitable structure.  Based on your description, you'll need to select one user's library (C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl) to act as the shared "master" and move this to the Public folders.
    Then, for each user, hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes - when you get this prompt:
    click on Choose Library..., navigate to C:\Users\Public\Music\iTunes, select the iTunes Library.itl file you'll find there, and click Open (you'll only need to do this once for each user account).
    Note, though, that iTunes is inherently a single-user application - any attempts to run iTunes at the same time will cause errors (and, in the worst case, possible corruption).  For this reason, its a good idea to disable fast user switching in Windows so that only one user can be logged in, and running iTunes, at the same time.

  • How can i share my library with my new computer when the itunes on the new computer does not have the "look for shared libraries" command in the preferences/shared pane?

    It worked fine before i updated the most recent update, My old computer readds the new one but the new one does not read the old one now.

    Is the iTunes library actually shared on the old computer?
    I have never had a need for forcing iTunes to look for shared libraries, it simply detects them.

  • How do I share iTunes Library and Playlists

    I had a desktop mac with 2 login accounts, we enjoy having our own spaces, mail, desktops, prefs, etc.. but we do not wish to duplicate nor keep either one out of our digital assests, ie music, photos, etc..
    I used to have an alias to the other users itunes library and all was fine. He is the predominant music purchaser in the house and I have full access to even his latest purchases.
    Upon buying a new machine, 1.66GHz duo core mini we seem to have lost this ability. If I make an alias now, when I launch itunes it says cannot find the folder itunes, it seems to now know its a folder it must find and not an alias to one. I have read ideas about sharing and fast user switching, not really the solution I am looking for or used to have. I think many couples find themselves in a similar situation. Seems silly that we now have to be logged in one side to play/stream music in the house and make sure we are logged into the other side whenever we connect the digital camera.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • How do I share itunes purchases with my daughter?

    I have purchased some songs on itunes for my daughter who is 11 so doesn't have her own itunes store account.  How can I share them with her?  We use the same computer with Windows 7, with different user logins and both have our own itunes library.  Home sharing doesn't seem to work, maybe because we are on the same computer? Any suggestions?

    If you make sure that your iTunes account is authorised on her version of iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer) then you should be able to copy those songs from your windows logon on to her logon and then add them to her iTunes library (File > Add File To Library, or Add Folder To Library) - so you probably need to have separate copeis of the songs
