Is it okay to home share with my roommate who is not related to me if we do not import each other's music?

Is it okay to home share with my roommate who is not related to me if we do not import each other's music?

Thanks I will try that . . . . the issue became worse when we recently updated to IOS6 - now all three of us get everything . . . . I was trying to avoid separate Apple ID's and emails but that might be the solution based on what I have read on here . . . .

  • Can 2 people share itunes? and not transfer each other's music?

    Can someone help? I have an ipod as well as my boyfriend. We are both using itunes on the same PC and if I plug in my ipod, I get all his music and vice versa. How can I just transfer the music that I want and not the entire library?? Do we have to set up 2 seperate libraries or something? I am new at this, so I am clueless! HELP!

  • I am trying to home share with my new MacBook. The music library I am wishing to share is not displaying anywhere on my new laptop under music or library. My computer is authorized and I have tried restarting itunes, etc. Any help/ideas?

    Are you using the same ID for homesharing on all devices.
    By the way shared libraries don't show up under either 'Music' or 'Libraries'.

  • I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy the songs, but I just don't have the "import" button. So it won't allow me to do anything with the songs from her computer. What should I do now?

    I am trying to home share with my sister. I have it down to where I can copy all the songs I want, but it won't allow me to import them because my iTunes doesn't show the "import" button at the bottom. So what do I do now?

    I have reinstalled the drivers. I watched it install the realtec and cirrus drivers. Hovering the mouse over the speaker icon says 'speakers: HP'. They are actually 'Creative'. 'Properties' indicates 'IDT High Definition CODEC' and 'This device is working correctly'.
    Driver details gives 'c:\Windows\system32\drivers\dmk.sys'.
    There is still no sound, although the little level meter on the control shows a green bar rising and falling.
    Obviously, it thinks it's working, but there's no connection to the speakers. They're not muted, either. I checked that too.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks.

  • HT4557 I have a MacBook Pro using my Apple ID and Password, can I home share with my wife's iPad that uses her Apple ID and password

    I have a MacBook Pro using my Apple ID and Password, can I home share with my wife's iPad that uses her Apple ID and password

    You have to all be signed into the same Apple ID and on the same WiFi network, but yes you can do it. You have to sign into her Apple ID on your iPad in the store settings.

  • Why won't Apple TV Home Share with my iMac?

    Why won't Apple TV Home Share with my iMac? I have no problem Home Sharing with MacBook Pro.  I have set up all Sharing settings on my iMac exactly the same as my MacBook Pro.  The operating system on my iMac and MacBook Pro is the same (OS X Mountain Lion - 10.8.4).

    shared lib was around long before appletvs
    in the form of computers on the same network being able to access eachothers shared lib in itunes
    if you can do that from your macbook pro as in access the shared lib of the imac
    then the problem is with the appletv somehow
    if you also can't access the shared lib of the imac from the macbook then you setup something wrong
    or have a firewall blocking it or are not on the same network with the 2 devices
    if the later when you fix the shared lib between computers chances are if will also be fixed from the appletv

  • HT4557 can I home share with an iPad & iPhone?

    can I home share with just an iPad and an iPhone?

    The HT4557 article you attached above says:
    With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    But if you tell us exactly what you're trying to do (e.g., play music from an iPad to a home WiFi system connected by AirPort Express), there may be a way (e.g., AirPlay, documented here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4437

    Yes.
    This allows you to view your videos & music from iTunes on the computer to the iPhone (in the Videos & Music apps).
    On the iPhone, Settings > Music (or Videos) enter your AppleID under Home sharing.
    Open Music or Videos, tap ••• More then Shared.

  • Can ipad home share with my laptop

    can my ipad home share with my laptop

    I have both my computer and the ipad2 running homeshare, and both on the same wifi and both signed into same apple ID.  The homeshare on the ipad works fine, the computer shows up, I can click it and see everything on the computer, but for some reason the computer doesn't see the ipad.  The Home share doesn't even show up on the left of itunes on the computer.  Any suggestions?

  • I can see other accounts on home share and play the songs, but not drag them to my account.  Home share is on "on" on both accounts and both computers are authorized.  What can I do to copy the song from account to account?

    =======================================================
    Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    objComputer=objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ComputerName%")
     IF Right(objComputer,3) = "000" Then
    Else
     strShortcut = objShell.SpecialFolders( "Desktop" )  & "\%username% Share.lnk"

    The section directly above is what I need to add, anyone have a clue how to make this work?

    Bill:  Can you suggest a site?  I am in the weeds here trying to get this done yesterday.  I have been reading code and trying to figure this out since yesterday morning.  I have to roll out this image to 2 dozen machines and
    this is holding us back.  Any idea which site I can post to for help?
    The bigger issue is that you have been given the answer to this in many different forms and, because you have no technical background, you fail to see what is being shown to you.  That is why I have repeatedly suggested that you hire a consultant.
    The link to the learning material is at the top o this page.  You can also search the web for Windows consultants.
    In the learning link you can also look up how to manage files. If, in the beginning you had chosen to use the learning materials you might not be in this bind.
    Look up and research the FileSystemObject.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
