HT3819 can you use home sharing with other computers

i got a new laptop, but my old one has all my songs, and i sync my ipod to that one. I tried home sharing so everty time i download on one laptop, it goes to the other but it is not working.

While it is possible, I have yet to see anyone in these forums report it working successfully.  Simply copy the ENTIRE C:\Users\<user>\Music folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • HT3819 Can i use home sharing with my Fiancee? is this considered as "personal use"

    My Fiancee does not have a credit card yet so she cant create an apple id to redeem a gift i sent her by itunes, so a solution i thought of was to enable home sharing on her PC so i can share with her the album that i want her to listen to.
    Is this considered legal?  Please consider that i already paid for the album, which she cant listen to right now due to the credit card restriction when creating an Apple ID

    Not unless you are on the same wifi network

  • HT4557 Can I use Home Sharing with only another person's iPad but with out the other person's computer?

    Would like to share music with someone.  Currently the computer registered with the iPad is out of commission.  But since you can pretty much do everything on the iPad another computer was not purchased.  How can I utilize home sharing with out two computers?

    You don't.  Otherwise they would have called it Device sharing.

    If you are using the same iTunes library (meaning the exact same iTunes folder), it should work fine.

  • HT3819 Can I use Home Sharing to permanently Transfer my old iTunes Library to a new macbook pro?

    Hi,
    I have a quick questoin regarding iTunes Home Sharing. 
    1. Can I use Home Sharing to transfer music from my iTunes Library on my old Power Mac to iTunes on my new MacBook Pro?
    2. If I deauthorise iTunes on my old Power Mac will I lose my music on my new iTunes Library on my Macbook Pro - essentially are the two somehow linked together? I want to erase my old HD, wipe it clean, chuck it in a case and use as a back up storage, and then sell my old Power Mac.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can you use home sharing for photos?

  • Can I use home sharing with an external iTunes folder??

    I just set up and am using home sharing for the first time. I have a MacBook Pro and iMac both set up, running iTunes and sharing will not work like I'd like. I use an external hard drive with my iMac and have an iTunes folder there (that sometimes it points to automatically, but sometimes I have to go under advanced and show the iMac to use that iTunes folder because it defaults to the internal iTunes folder on the computer). Should iTunes home sharing work with the external iTunes folder or does it only work with iTunes folders on the computer? I currently have my iTunes folder pointed to the external and can play music from there, but I cannot find a way to access that folder from my MacBook Pro.
    I'm wondering if it's a limitation of home sharing or a result of not having the iTunes folder "properly set up" on the iMac to always point to the external.

    I use an external hard drive with my iMac and have an iTunes folder there (that sometimes it points to automatically, but sometimes I have to go under advanced and show the iMac to use that iTunes folder because it defaults to the internal iTunes folder on the computer).
    Make sure the external drive is powered on and mounted on the desktop before launching iTunes.

  • Can I use home sharing with Power Mac G5?

    I am using a PowerMac G5 2.0GHz, I am currently using an AirPort Extreme card however would have no difficulty in using ethernet connection.
    I was wondering if, can I run home sharing from my PowerMac to my ATV3 and iPad? If so, what operating system and iTunes version would be required?

    You need to install a full retail version of OS X 10.5 Leopard, then run the software update fearure of OS X  to update  the OS X version to OS X 10.5.8 and then update iTunes to 10.6.3 to get the Home Sharing feature.
    iTunes 10.6.3 is the last version of iTunes to work on PowerPC Macs.
    What iPad are you using?
    I have an iPad3 and this feature worked the OS X 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.6.3.
    Not sure about the latest ATV, though.

  • Can you use home sharing across continents

    Hi,
    My husband is moving to the USA from the UK and we currently have our apple products connected through home share.  Going forward I wanted to understand the following
    -  can we still use home sharing as I will remain in the UK or is it better for my husband to have a separate account using USD?
    -  if my husband has a separate account - can we still share existing purchases or future purchases on our joined account or not?
    -  can we listen to music from both accounts at the same time, or will we have to log in and out to do that?
    Any other tips from people who have experienced and recommendations.
    Thanks,

  • HT3819 Can you access home sharing from iPhone 5 that is on another wifi. Say mcdonalds

    I want to access my music, videos, etc. from my computer. On iPhone 4 I was able to do this with home sharing. Now my iPad, iPhone 5 cannot access unless I am at home. I have iTunes Match. How do I view my movies over wifi with home sharing

    There is a difference between accessing one of your computers at home over a local network (wired or WiFi) and trying to access the same shared folder from outside of your local network. In principle it isn't possible due to the way data is routed via the internet. You should be able to access past iTunes store purchases (where applicable) and your iTunes Match account via any Wi-Fi point that connects you to the internet directly from Apple's servers, however it might be that certain places restrict access to particular servers.
