I would like to share music with my Dad we both have ipod classics and i tunes installed, my library is backed up on hard drive helives abroad and we are visiting soon how do we share library content? Can I do it by plugging my hard drive into his pc?

My itunes library is backed onto hard drive, I am visiting a relative soon and wish to share our music, we both have ipod classics and he has i tunes installed onto his pc.
I don't want to take my pc with me but the hard drive may be an option. Can we share music from my hard drive plugged into his pc? and if so how? also can I then copy music from his library onto the hard drive so that i can sync them to my i pod. Or is there a way we can do it with just the i pods and pc? Pls help techno novice!

System Preferences - Sharing. If you cannot find System Preferences, then use Command - Spacebar and type System Preference and when you see it in Spotlight (uper right) hit return.

Thanks to all for reviewing my question. I am trying to avoid a possible disaster here, having to load about 90 cd's all over again. If anyone knows, could you tell me what will happen if I download iTunes 9.0, and install it. Will it copy all of my music into it, or fail to recognize it, or recognize 8.0 and just upgrade rather than replace it? Thanks again. Tom

HT202213 Can I share music with my wife if we have different Apple IDs

Can I share music with my wife if we have different Apple IDs

You can set up Messages and Facetime separate from your husband and still use the same iTunes to sync things like music, movies, Apps, etc.
To do this though, you need to get your own Apple ID. You then use your Apple ID to set up Messages and Facetime under your account. This way your Messages and Facetime calls will come from your account and your husbands from his.
And you will still be able to sync the devises on the same iTunes account.

I would like to record music directly off my amplifier onto my iPod touch 4th gen.

I would like to learn how to record onto my iPod 4th gen 64GB directly from my amplifier. Seems like it should be easy to do. anybody got any tips?
Thanks,
iamkevman1

You need a cable that goes from your amp to the mic input that is in headphone jack. Note you can only get mono. Yoo have to get the headphone end that is specifically made to record an iPhone/iPad/iPod.

The iPhone uses a 4-conductor (TRRS) phone connector (center) for its headset (microphone and control button right).

How can I convert my music, and CDs to MP3, for use in my vehicle's AM/FM/ Stereo? I have a 16 GB SDHC Card, that I would like to load up with some of my music.

Well, this question really belongs in the iTunes forum, which is where you will get fast answers.
Just go to iTunes Preferences. Click on the General icon. Set When you insert a CD to Ask to Import CD. Click on Import Settings. Set Import to MP3 decoder. Make sure you're using Good Quality.
This should deal with your CD's.
With your current music, as long as it does not have DRM restrictions (older iTunes Music did), select the song, right click on the song (or group of songs), pull down to Create MP3 version.

In trying to share music with multiple user accounts on one comp, I quit itunes, located my itunes media folder, moved it to a publicly accessible location. Problem is it didn't work and now I can't get it all back to the way it was.

In trying to share music with multiple users on one computer, I followed the directions on "iTunes:How to share music between different accounts on a single computer" (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203). I did something wrong because i lost iTunes
Tried to put files back, but it is not the same. Plugged in my ipod and it is not recognizing my computer.
Can someone tell me where iTunes should be, and what sub files should be included with it. Thanks!

If you are seeing the "Connect to iTunes" logo, then your device is in Recovery Mode, and you will need to restore it:

How do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

how do i share music with 2 iphones using the same apple id?

Sync them both to the same iTunes music library. You can also automatically download purchased music to both by going to Settings>iTunes & App Stores and turning Music to On under Automatic Downloads. If you music is in multiple computers, you can enable Home sharing to share your music library across multiple devices (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819).

I am trying to find out if I can change a setting of the calendar in my iPhone. When I view calendar, in month, I would like to view it with the starting day of the week being Monday, not Sunday. Is it possible to make this change? SS

Hello SMEvans32
You can use iCloud to share the Calendar, that way she will always be up to date on that particular section of your work calendar. If you want to use iCloud, I would recommend backing up so you have a safe copy of your data.

As I was saying earlier that is not possible because the Apple TV has no accessible storage and streaming from your iMac is done via home sharing on your local network.
iTunes purchases can be accessed via the cloud on Apple TV. If you have iTunes Match you can access your full music libary from the cloud.
Using the iPad to watch your films would require syncing them and then connecting the iPad to a TV.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If both Macs are on the same network, enable homesharing, you can then import music from one to the other without affecting what's already on there.

I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?

The genuine Apple adapter works for me, most cheap knockoffs do not support sound ,it is usually in the micro print at bottom of the ebay offerring
It is pricey by comparison but it works and the knock offs usually don't pay the patent licence fee hence they guess the technology that is in the lightning plug
and charge a minimal price
