I would like to share my iTunes account with another user

I would like to share my itunes account on the same Mac with a different user. I do not see the shared folder in itunes sidebar

Just plug the iPod in and open iTunes. It will the iPod will show in the devices section of the iTunes sidebar. Click on the iPod go to the summary tab and set you syncing options. You can do this for as many iPods/iPhones/iPads as you like.

    Agile,
    Any of the above will work, depending how you would like to set it up.
    Given that kids tend to eventually grow up and be independent, the best long term answer for most people is to let her have her own account and her own library as soon as she can handle it.  Keep in mind that content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, so separating later is a challenge.
    If you want to sync multiple devices to the same library, that will work.  Or if you want separate libraries (as I would recommend), they can be either on separate computers or on separate Windows user accounts on the same PC.
    For the name change:  Connect the device.  When the name appears in the left sidebar of iTunes, highlight it and change it.

  • TS2972 I would like to share my iTunes libraries with my Apple TV from both my iMac and Macbook Pro, but I use the same iTunes account on both devices. Is it possible to link my Apple TV to both devices at the same time?

    I recently purchased an Apple TV, and I currently have it linked to my iMac with my iTunes account. I also have a newer MacBook Pro that has some different iTunes media on it than my iMac does, but they share iTunes accounts. Is it possible to link both devices at the same time, have access to media on both computers, and use the same iTunes account on both computers?? It seems Apple TV will only link to one iTunes account per computer, but can access multiple computers if different iTunes accounts are activated on those computers.

    You can share multiple libraries with the Apple TV, they don't even need to use the same iTunes account. Just make sure that you use the same ID for homesharing on all devices.

  • Is there a way to share an iTunes account with 2 users?

    I just sold my computer with my iTunes stuff on it (kept a backup on an external HD). My son and I share a Macbook that has his iTunes stuff on the internal HD. Until I get a new computer and re-load my iTunes library to it, can I create a separate account full of my stuff and vwhen I sync, I get my stuff and not his?
    Thanks.

    Just a word of caution: I have experimented recently with having 2 iTunes accounts on my MacBook Pro, in order to see if I could make a separate library with only lossless files. I encountered the following problems:
    1) When I changed the library name for one library both were changed
    2) When I changed the media location in one library both were changed.
    I don't know if I did something wrong, but I would proceed carefully, and test the solution before putting it to use.

  • How to share an Itunes account with another family member

    How do 2 people share the same music library and Itunes account.

    Most of the 24 inch LCD have multiple video inputs, which means you can get connect two different video source (i.e. desktop, laptop) to the same display, and then switch between with only a few button presses.

  • I have a new ipod that I would like to share my itunes library with. Is this possible?

    Can someone help me and give me an idea as to whether or not is possible to have multiple Ipods and a shuffle share the same Itunes library on the same computer.  I attempted to drag the music on my itunes to another IPOD and it will not allow it.  Please help.  Thank you.

  • How do I share my iTunes library with another user on the same computer?

    I trired to follow the instructions provided by I-Tunes which was to move the ITunes media library to the shared section, however, the computer will not allow me to do this.  When I drag the file to the shared section, it will only allow me to drop it into the Airport.  I tried hovering it over the "shared" title but it's not working.
    Is there another solution?

    Hello Kathy,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to move your iTunes Library. 
    It sounds like you may be trying to move it to the "Shared" titled on the Finder Sidebar.  When you see "Shared" in the Finder Sidebar, this is just a title and not an actual folder. 
    I recommend moving your iTunes Library to either the "Public" folder in your user accoung to the "Shared" folder listed in the Users folder.  You can access the Shared folder by clicking Go at the top of the screen with Finder open, and selecting Computer>Macintosh HD>Users>Shared:
    Drag the iTunes Media folder to a public location. For example, you could move it to the Public folder in your Home folder (~/Public) or to a location outside your Home folder that other users can access (/Users/Shared).
    Important: Don't move the iTunes folder, the iTunes library file, or the iTunes library.xml file.

  • My laptop is no longer reliable. I want to share my iTunes account with my new iPad 3.   I just started viewing my iPad window on my 50 inch Panasonic wirelessly via Apple Tv 2.  That amazing.    I would like to access my iTunes store via iPad for podcast

    My laptop is no longer reliable. I want to share my iTunes account with my new iPad 3.   I just started viewing my iPad window on my 50 inch Panasonic wirelessly via Apple Tv 2.  That's amazing.
    Now I want to share my iTunes account with my Apple TV  1, and my iPad 3, without the need of booting up the unreliable laptop where I set it up last year.   do I have to use my. Pc laptop to access the iTunes store again too authorize home sharing.   I have tried it before. O for a while I thought the we're sharing, now the Apple Tv has gone back to telling me to use my computer too sign into iTunes.     
    there maybe a far simpler way to enjoy iTunes on my iPad and Apple Tv.   I also have the Sony blurry Google Tv.  I will upgrade my PC with Windows Z8 and a screaming ran cache, ram disk on a 79 mother board and then pay 5 bucks a month for OnLive Plus that I hpe to show wirelesslypy on the big scree 50 inch Panasonic.   I have waited for years to upgrade as I wanted to help my kids in college.  They are finished and so I have money fr my self.CELEBRATE

  • I am sharing a account with my mother. I would like to change my itune account to a separate account. How can I do that without affecting her itune account?

    I share a itune account with my mother.  I would like to set up my own itune account keeping all my info and library from my itune account.  How do I go about setting up my own account without affecting her account and her itunes?  It seems if she gets a new app it appears on my phone and visa versa.  After I change my account will there be a problem syncing it with my phone and ipad?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
    Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

  • How do I share one itunes account between two users on the same computer

    How do I share one itunes account between two users on the same computer without taking up twice as much space on my hard drive?

    You would need to move the itunes folder to a location that both users have permissions to access such as the Shared folder or any folder on the root level of the macintosh HD.
    You can find instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203 This method allows you to share the content without sharing the same library.

    I share an iTunes account with my siblings. So their contacts appear on my phone too. How can I take it off?

    You can share the same Apple ID in
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
    But for all other Apple services like:
    FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.
