HT4557 can I share my itunes library when not at home

I just learned how to share my music library between my PC and my iphone when in my home wi-fi. Is there a way I can still share this content when away from home? ( I am about to go on a long trip and would like access to all the music on my computer and it won't all fit on my phone)

No. Not directly. You would have to subscribe to iTunes Match.

  • Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly   Thanks anyway!

  • Can I share one iTunes Library with multiple computers on a network?

    Can I share one iTunes Library with multiple computers on a network?
    note: one library universally shared, not Home Sharing (one library each, shared to each.)
    I want to share one library stores on my server and access it through various local computers. When I buy a song from a computer (non-server), I want it to be added to the library (stored on server). I want it to auto copy to my server, for organization. I want to be able to sync my phone from any computer.
    Most of this I can do, if i figure out how to use one universal library for all my computers.
    Any ideas how I can do this?

    eyeinit,
    You can authorize your iTunes account on up to 5 computers at a time.
    However, purchased music is downloaded to the first machine to download it, but these articles have more information on moving your music between authorized computers:

    This one is for moving all your music using an iPod as a storage drive

    Hope this helps,

  • How can I share my iTunes library with 2 iTunes accounts?

    How can I share my iTunes library between me and my wife?
    I do not want to set-up 2 seperate accounts on my mac. Do not want to do home sharing or anything like this. 
    I just would like to connect my iPad to ONE itunes library and at the same time connect my wifes iPad to the SAME itunes library. Can this be done? How? Thanks! Maybe the answer is something really easy like "just connect both to the computer and sync them".
    Thanks!

    Plug them in and use them.
    That is all you need to do.
    In the answer from Apple I do not find anything about how the 2 exisiting iTunes accounts will be handled.
    They will be handled fine.
    All purchases from both iTunes accounts can be sync'd to both/either iPads with no problem.
    I have three iTunes accounts (me and two daughters), 3 iPhones, an iPad and a few iPods.
    Any/all content can be sync'd to any device, no problems.

  • Can I share my iTunes library with my daughters iPod?

    Hello,
    Is anyone able to tell me if you can share an iTunes library with another person who lives at the same address, ie my daughter.
    Thanks

    Hi there Janus271!
    I believe that Home Sharing will allow you to do what you wish to do with iTunes. An article about the features of Home Sharing can be found here:

    If you do desire to use Home Sharing, this article can help you set it up on your devices.

  • 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.

  • 4 people in our family have an iphones or ipod on the same apple id ..so that we can all share the itunes library. however  this means that we all get each others imessages. is there a way of sharing  itunes library with 4 separate ids?

    4  of us in the family with iphonesor ipods share the same apple id so that we can share the itunes library . However , this means we all receive each others imessages, unless we disable imessaging. Is there a way of sharing itunes library (ie.g with 4 separate ids) that avoids the sharing of imessages? .

    Thanks, Terence, but if she was inclined to upload things, I wouldn't need access!
    Here is an example: we go on vacation, she takes 250 photos, edits twenty of the best shots, and uploads three to facebook.  I want to make an album including some of the edited shots and some of the less perfect but still fun shots - so I need all 250 photos - uploading that many photos to a photosharing site takes forever even if she did it - but she won't.  I used to just hijack her computer for a day, but I'd like to be able to hijack her iphoto library without stealing her computer...if possible!
    Thanks for any help you can offer!

  • How can i recover my iTunes library when i reformated mac

    The other day i decided to reformat my Macbook just becouse i wanted to start again clean. I put my iTunes library in an external drive like i should have done. But when i finished reinstaling OS X and i checked my external hard drive my iTunes library was not there. My question is is there anyway i can recover my music.

    If you have no other back up and if your move to the external drive was unsuccessful and the music you thought you moved isn't actually there then there really is nowhere to recover your music from. There are data recovery services and programs that you could investigate to see if they can mine the information back from your reformatted MacBook but they aren't going to be a cheap option. So you have to decide if in your particular circumstances it's worth it to get your songs back. It may be if you have a lot of purchased tracks which you will have to pay to download again. If they came primarily from your CDs then it's most likely not as you can re-rip them.
    If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
    "Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
    You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
    If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

  • Can I share one iTunes Library between 2 different Windows Users?

    I'm having syncing issues (discussed in a different post) with using my 2nd Gen Shuffle and 30G iPod video from the same instance of iTunes. Previously I tried creating a 2nd user on my Windows PC and using my Shuffle with another instance of iTunes loaded by the 2nd user. This worked fine, but I would like to avoid the necessity to rip my CDs to both user's iTunes instances.
    Can I rip my CDs to only one of the iTunes instances and share this iTunes Library between both instances of iTunes?
    Thanks for any assistance......
