HT3819 Can I share books using home share

Using iTunes Home Sharing can I share Books? I have switched on Home Sharing and can share music files but I am having a problem with books. Thanks

I have purchased books from the iStore which I can read on my iPad. I would like to allow my wife to read the same book on her iPad. Is this possible?

    You can't use homesharing, but you can use the iCloud Photo Stream to do something similar : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486

  • How to share books using home sharing

    My husband and I each have our own Apple ID and itunes account. We have home sharing set up using his Apple ID. He has an ipad (1st Gen). I have an iphone 4 and i have purchased some books using my itunes/apple ID, but reading a book on the iphone is difficult to say the least. My husband wants me to use his ipad to read my books. But I don't know how to get my books from my itunes account to his ipad. It looks like I can sign in on his ibooks app on the ipad, but then he loses rights for 90 days. Its not ideal...I would rather not lock him out of his ibooks. Is there an easy way to do this using home sharing? (we each have our own Mac's as well, if that helps). I have found a way to email the books to him, but I get an error message when I try to open them with ibooks -- something about software missing, they are DRM books so that's probably why.

    On your husbands computer or account you need to authorise it with your details. This will allow him to play and sync that content with his devices but not change the Apple ID he uses to purchase items
    On his itunes From the Top Menu (Ctrl B to show it on Windows)
    Select Store > Authorise this computer.. enter your apple id and password
    You should be good to go.
    If you want to share content your husband purchased then you would have to authorise your machine with his details

  • Can't transfer content using Home Sharing

    I have two home computers. I've opened home sharing on both computers and it's turned on in both. I can view the files on both computers, but I'm not able to transfer files from one computers library to the other.
    I've read several articles on how to use home sharing and I believe i've done everything correctly.
    Anyone have an idea what it could be?
    TIA

    have you seen this support article ?

  • Can't import songs using home sharing

    Just bought a new macbook pro laptop, and I can't import my music library from my iMac using home sharing.
    The library shows up as shared, but I can't drag any music into the library on my laptop.
    Help would be greatly appreciated because I'm extremely frustrated.

    I am curious as well. I also just bought a MacBook Air to use in addition to my iMac. I just made some purchases on iTunes and homesharing only allows you to stream, not physically sync the media back and forth, which is what I want.
    This is going to be really annoying..

  • HT3819 Can I share my music with my wife who has a seperate Apple ID?

    I just bought my wife an iPad Mini and she decided she wanted her own Apple ID so she can start managing her own music and such.  Previously, she has been using my account to load her iPod with music.  The problem is that I can't figure out how to get all her previously purchased music over to her new account.  Is it possible?  Or will she have to go back to using my account again?

    Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

  • I can not buy books using iPhoto11

    Hope someone can help... I spent sometime agonising over photos to be included in an iPhoto book... I completed the layout and pressed Buy... the respose was a graphic sliding up telling me my order total was £0.00... with no way to imput the quantity or anything else.
    I didn't get any error message informing me of any mistakes I might have made. I then tryed a simple calender and let iPhoto populate it as a test... pressed Buy... and got an identical respose...
    Any ideas!

    I Can buy anything

  • HT4059 can you buy books using your us apple id in another country's store?

    I cannot find several of the books I'd like to read in the US iTunes iBook store.  It keep saying they are not located in the US store.  So, I tried switching to the UK store but my US apple ID will not work there.  Is there a way to purchase books from another county's store?  I don't understand why these books would not be available in the US, generic books like "Motorcycle Maintenance", ...etc, are relevant in every country as long as they are written in english, which they are.

    You can only buy from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that they be added to US store, but ultimately it's the book's publisher that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Are they available in other ebook stores/apps that you have access to e.g. Amazon/Kindle, Nook, Kobo etc ?

  • Can't play music via "Home Sharing"

    Hi,
    I have my Itunes Library on my 32-bit home desktop (Win XP SP3) and I just purchased a 64-bit laptop (Win 7 Home). I enabled 'Home Sharing' on both computers and I can see the desktop library on my laptop, but can't play the music. I first get a message saying that I need to 'Authorize' the machine and then after I 'Authorized' it, I still wouldn't play, but now it says that this machine is already 'Authorized', so why doesn't it play the music? Please help...
    Thanks,
    greenda4

    I just realized that the "Home Sharing" does work. The problem is the songs that I purchase a while back (2007) is where I am having the problem. However, newer purchases (2009, 2010) have no problems playing on my Win & Laptop. Does anyone know why these older purchases can not be played using "Home Sharing"??

  • Can Apple TV work from home sharing if not connected to internet?

    I have recently purchased Apple TV but where it has to be connected to the TV it cannot be detected by the Airport Wifi router that is placed on the property.
    I can use my Macbook to connect to the internet, but can I some how use home sharing to my Apple Tv even if it is not connected to the internet?
    If not, is there any other possible way to get Apple TV to work?

    I would get a pair of mains powerline networking adapters to send ethernet from the router to the AppleTV across the mains.
    Unfortunately AppleTv requires internet to briefly authorise protected content and won't work without it via Home Sharing.
    A while since I tested unprotected content but I suspect that won;t work either as AppleTV needs internet to set the time.
