HT3819 Why can't we transfer songs between computers on the same home network? None of the threads on the support page have worked!

My shared account will not allow me to transfer a song my wife purchased on our account. Yet every song that I purchased on our account from my computer transferred to her computer with no problem.

Why can't you move the files? What happens when you try?

Why can not I transfer songs from my computer to my iphone?
The songs are on iTunes And I try to add them to my iPhone And it fails!
have tried many times, what am I wrong?
Thank you in advance!

Are you manually dragging and dropping files in an attempt to move music from your client itunes to your idevice? And seeing the process hang and potentially locking itunes?
I have been having similar issues, but recently found something that works for my ipad air. Not sure if this will help you but...
In your itunes client music library:
Right click on one music file
Hover over the Add to Playlist option
Select a playlist from your iphone in the side popup window
See if that helps move the music file over. If it does, test out the original drag and drop on a new file. The move to playlist option seemed to clear whatever blockage I had and I'm not dragging and dropping with ease.

Can I share Apps between Macs on the same Home Network?

I tried to do this today by trying to import an App that my wife bought for her Mac. the system went as far as importing the app, but then when I went to try and open it the machine told me that I didn't have the authorization permissions to use the app on my machine.
what I'm wondering is whether that message has to do with the security settings on our network or computers or whether it is coming from the Mac App Store itself. Does anybody know? Is it possible, in the first place, to share Mac Store apps between computers with different user IDs on the same homw network?

Funny thing was I did all that before trying to 'share' said app. That was why I was befuddled by the error message. I'm still not sure why I got it. Second time thru I added the Mac App Store to 'allowing incomming connections' under security preferences, then tried it again and it worked fine. I'm not convinced though that that had anything to do with why it worked on the second go round. I like to understand why these things work and why they sometimes don't, so I'm still a little mystified. But..... now it works. I installed Keynote, Pages, and a whole host of other apps off of my wife's Mac App Store page on my Mac with no hiccup at all. *Big Smile*
Thanks for the reference article.

Why can't iTunes transfer songs with Home Sharing?

I am trying to transfer songs and tv shows onto my computer from another computer in my house and everything is working fine, but when I try to drag the songs, they won't move. What should I do?

what you want to see in iTunes is this (view from my MBP's iTunes seeing the library on my Mini)
if you then click on the house icon, it will change to this and the shared library will load. at that point, two buttons will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes window, being settings and import
now you should be able to import any content from any shared library by selecting the content and clicking on import.
if the icon looks like this , home sharing has not been set up correctly.

Are you using the same iTunes account as you did, when you bought the songs in iTunes?
Is your computer authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?

Why can't I use my brand new iphone5 on my home network in Mac OS 10.7.5 and where do I apply for a refund for my phone?

Why can't I use my new iphone5 on my home network in MacOS 10.7.5 and where do I apply for a refund for my phone?

If you want a refund, take it back where you bought it.
As for the rest of your question, until you give us something resembling useful information, like what EXACTLY the problem is, and what error message(s) you're getting, we can't even begin to guess.

How can I resolve an issue where webpages take several minutes to download? Other computers working on the same home network take not time at all.

Firefox would not load webpage despite there being an active internet connection to the computer. I know this because firefox loaded on another home computer without any issues. I reset the ip address on the computer in question through cmd.exe and this helped the issue to an extent however it take several minutes to load webpages. I can also advise tha Internet Explorer suffered exactly the same issue and it gave me an error message early when unable to load webpages, that a remote firewall may be blocking the connection. It suggested to configure the firewall to allow connections thru TCP port 80.

Hello ,
Can you please post your ADSL stats by following this direct link; http://192.168.1.254/index.cgi?active_page=9116 << it only works if you have a Home Hub 2.0+ and remember to type your password in.
Also we need a speedtest Use this link http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9354/c/346,4740,5520 as it will also help you diagnose and give you a list of solutions afterwards, it does incorporate the http://www.speedtester.bt.com one though as well.
It sounds to me that you have a low profile, with your stats we can see if you've been having disconnections which makes the exchange raise your Noise Margin to try and increase your stabibility, but at a cost of speed, it may have been that your sync speed has recovereed, but not your IP Profile.
Here are some helpful (I actually did find them helpful!) tips from BT: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/35079 up to you whether you want to read those tips, because I did actually find them helpful.
Can you comfirm that you have no noise on the line. Really a test by dialling 17070 and pressing option 2 for the quiet line test should be completed in the Master Socket with no other devices connected to the line. ANd also do you have a master socket with a split faceplate that you can unscrew the bottom half, if so behind there is a hidden 'test socket', it disconnects all your internal wiring so just to make sure its not a fault inside your premises.

HT1848 why can't I transfer songs from my itunes account to my ipod?

On my computer I have tons of songs on Itunes, how can I transfer those songs to my Ipod? I have already sync my Ipod. I also owe money to itunes, could that be the reason why I can't transfer purchased songs and burned songs from cds to my ipod?

You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Why not copy them from your old computer, ro your backup copy of your old computer?
No need for such a gross over reaction.

Sharing iOS updates between multiple Macs on same home network

Good morning -
Does anyone know if it it's possible to share the iOS update file from one Mac to another? I downloaded iOS 4.3.1 for my iPhone 4 this morning, but if I can avoid having to download it all over again on my wife's Mac for her iPhone, that would be great! If the file is in the Finder somewhere, I would think I could move it over using File Sharing...
Thanks for any help!

there is no problem doing that on a windows machine on a windows machine you just press shift and restore in itunes and point to the downlloaded firmware file

Why can't i put songs from my library over to my i phone

why cant i transfer music from my library to my phone

Hello from the UK, Dallas88,
I was having the same problem as you today with my iPhone 4S which doesn't sync completely with my iTunes Library like my iPod does. Looking for a solution, I saw your post so I don't know if you have solved your problem. I stumbled on a solution which worked for me by turning off iTunes Match, by going to "Store" in your iTunes Toolbar at the top left of your screen and turning off iTunes Match from there. You should then be able to 'drag and drop' as normal.
I've been getting round the problem in the past because I have the classic iPod (not the iPod Touch) which syncs fine with my iTunes Library whether iTunes Match is on or off. But I had to download a third party app called "iRip" which stores any music you want it to and allows you to transfer songs between devices. You do pay a one-off fee for the download from the internet, but it helped me sync songs between my Apple devices so I think it's worth it.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
