Can I share itunes music with two separate computer users on the same computer using the same itunes account?

I have gone through the insturctions on sharing a folder, but it will not update under both itunes libraries when I download new music? For example, I log in as "User A" and download a song on itunes. I then log into the same computer as "User B" and open itunes and the song is not there, even though the music library is the same shared folder on the computer. I tried downloading the music as "User B" but then I get the error: You do not have enough access privileges for this operation".
Does anyone have any ideas how I can properly and continuously share the same music between accounts? I have to use seperate computer log in accounts because my wife and I have our own calendars, contacts, etc...
Thank you!

For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
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.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder (but note: some users find ongoing permissions issues with the Library in this location. It might be better to use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Both my partner and I have purchased iTunes on separate accounts. We want-to combine our purchases onto a single iPhone playlist is this possible?

Yes, but they must be in the same iTunes instance on the same computer.

Hello, can i share itunes match with the other members of my family?

Hello, can i share itunes match with the other members of my family?

No, sharing match is not included in the family share. The only way is to use the same Apple id on all devices but this may present problems if your family members have their own Apple id.

Can I share itunes libtary with other devices under a different account

How can I share itunes library (books) on another device that is in the same family , but a different account

You can share music etc, you can't share iBooks, you would need to import the iBooks using homesharing to the library the device you want to use it on syncs with and then sync it to the device.

Share iTunes purchases between two user accounts on the same Mac?

I have a Macbook Pro, for my bride and I, and a Macbook, for our kids. Both Macs are authorized on my iTunes account.
So, how can I share an iTunes Store purchased song on my account with my wife's? I understand how to turn on sharing and she can see my songs in iTunes on her account, but she cannot synch them to her iPod.
Now, I'm allowed to authorize an iTunes account on up to five Macs. I have two. But I have four accounts. Either way, I won't be exceeding five copies, but can't find a way to get a song I bought in my iTunes to my wife's iPod.
We use the same iTunes account but don't want to have to buy things twice to get them on her iPod. Just seems weird that I could put it on five machines but not two user accounts on the same one.

On my Mac Pro I moved the entire library to "Macintosh HD/Shared/iTunes". Changed the Folder location in iTunes Preferences->Advanced->General to point to that location. Then in each user change the Music/iTunes folder to be an alias or link pointing to the Shared/iTunes folder. You will likely need to change the permissions on that folder to give everyone the ability to read and write. Do that via "Get Info" on the iTunes folder using Finder. I'd suggest backing everything up before you do this.

Can I share iTunes purchases on same computer, different apple ID?

If I purchase an album from iTunes, can I share it with my daughter, who lives at home and uses the same computer, but has a different apple ID and separate user account in Windows 7? Our computer would presumably be authorized already by each of us. Thank you.

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

Can I share iTunes libraries between two accounts on the same Mac?

Hello,
I have an iMac on which I began making iTunes purchases. I failed, initially, to set up a separate account for my kids, who are still to young to operate the computer by themselves, but old enough to watch "Arthur" - anyway, now that I have set up a separate account to manage for them, I don't have access to the library in our "big person" account. I've tried putting files in the shared folder and the drop box, but neither of these works.
Please help!
Thanks.

Jim, sorry, I should have mentioned that permissions issue.
I have a similar setup on a Mac mini. I have the entire iTunes library in the shared folder and on each user account, I point it to that iTunes library file. That way there isn't a permissions problem when multiple accounts are connected to it.
The only problem with that is that each user account connected to that iTunes library can make changes to the library file (ratings, playlists, etc.)

How can i share itunes content with my family?

I just got an iPhone and gave my sister my iPod touch. Is there any way can we share our apps/music with each other? I was going to use home sharing but from what I've read both users have to be on the same wifi network and we'll only be in the same house during the summer because she's in college.

Check out this Apple article -> How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
You can create playlists for each device or seperate iTunes libraries.

How can I share itunes music with others who use this computer??

I want to share my music with my granddaughter and she wants to share hers with me. We use the same computer but log in with different accounts. If the music is in the computer is seems there should be a way to share all the music. Can we do that??

There are sharing abilities built into iTunes. In the iTunes Help menu just type in "share."
I personally don't care for the way iTunes shares music. I have taken a different route. I use file sharing to share my Music folder with my wife.
From the Finder window right or control click on Music.
Select Get Info
At the bottom of Get Info click on the lock icon to unlock changes
Under Sharing click on the + to add access to another user.
Select you daughters id. and add her.
Give her Read Access.
Click on the Gear icon on the bottom and select "Apply to enclosed items."
Have you daughter do the same for you. You will now have access to each others music.
There are several ways you can listen to each others music.
To listen to just one song I just use the Finder method. Open Finder and click in the spotlight search field (upper right). Type in some criteria (i.e. Artist, partial title, album name). Files will appear in the finder window. Select the icon view option. You should see album artwork. Move your mouse over the track you want to listen to and your should see a play button appear. Not sure which OSX versions support this (10.6 does). Click on the play button. If you don't see a play button you can play by selecting Get Info. There is a play button in the preview section. You can also play with Quick View.
To listen to a playlist you will need a multimedia player like VLC (google it if you don't have it).
From iTunes you can export your playlist from File > Library > Export Playlist... (.m3u works well) Give your daughter read write access to the playlist file and from the Open With entry select VLC. (use the get info method)
Copy the playlist file to you daughters drop box in her public folder. Have your daughter use the get info function to make sure her copy still points to VLC and not to iTunes. If you open the playlist file with iTunes it may copy the tune files to her library. (don't want to end up with multiple copies of tunes on your Mac)
Double clicking on the playlist file will open VLC and begin playing. There is a playlist button on VLC to view, sort and select tunes from the list.
Phew! Hope that helped.
Dan
P.S. Haven't tested this with copy protected stuff.

How can one share iTunes Library across two machines at the same time?

**I have setup 1 of 2 machines to host all the songs in my iTunes library. I then went to machine 2 of 2 and held down option key on start up of iTUnes, changed the location of the liobrary on machine 2 to a shared folder on machine 1.**
**This works awesome and I can use itunes on each of the machines 1 and 2 with no duplicate library in my home.**
**Problem: I can only run one machine at a time. I can not run itunes on both machines at the same time. The error message from machine 2 is ITUNES library is locked and cant write to the folder. iTunes works correct if I QUIT iTunes on machine 1.**
**Can iTunes run at the same time on 2 machines and access the same library?**
*Thank You Troy*
