Is there a way to play my iTunes library from home, at work?

Wondering if this is possible...

Not the files sitting on the computer at home unless you know so much about computers you wouldn't even be asking this.  Home Sharing only does as it says, shares between devices at home.
You might want to check the Match service.  This keeps a copy of your iTunes collection on an Apple computer so you can have access to the copy anywhere you can get on the Internet.

    Your itunes library should be on your computer and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.

  • Is there another way to copy my iTunes library from a windows pc to my mac than using migration assistant

    See this -> Move your content to a new Mac - Apple Support
    "If two user accounts have the same name
    If your new Mac already has a user account with the same name as one you're trying to transfer, Migration Assistant lets you decide what to do. You can either replace the existing user on your new Mac, or give the user you're migrating a new account name.
    Selecting the option to replace an existing user overwrites that user's Home folder on your new Mac. This can be convenient if you just set up your new Mac using the same account name and of your important data is still on your original Mac. Don't select the option to replace the existing user unless you're certain you don't have any important files stored in this user's Home folder on your new Mac."
    I create an new account named Admin, then log into this account to run Migration Assistant.

  • Is there a way to access my iTunes Library, which is stored on a (PC) External Hard Drive, on a MacBook Air (through an Apricorn Universal Hard Drive Adapter), without transferring the music files off of the external hard drive?

    Is there a way to access my iTunes Library, which is stored on a (PC) External Hard Drive, on a MacBook Air (through an Apricorn Universal Hard Drive Adapter), without transferring the music files off of the external hard drive?
    In other words, because the MacBook Air only has 120 gbs of hard drive space & my old hard drive, from a Lenovo, has 500 gbs of hard drive space (and I have over 120 gbs of music), I’m looking to manage my iTunes music from the external hard drive permanently. Upon attempting to access the iTunes library held on the external hard drive the following message comes up: “The iTunes Library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file”.  Is there a way to get around this?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much!

    You will have to engage a split library which means you will have to start answering questions on this forum because you will need to learn a lot about how iTunes works in order not that have a big mess at the end of it all.  It also won't be easy when the time comes to relocate it all to different drives.
    You can go to advanced preferences and turn off organize media and copy to items to media folder when adding items to library.  Next read about how to selectively consolidate items to the external drive.

    "...selected the new tracks directly in iTunes, Control-clicked on the selection, and saw that now you can consolidate selected items." - http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090919000326840
    Remember that when you start iTunes without the external drive turned on iTunes will present you with a bunch of broken links.  If you have automatic downloads enabled with iCloud you may have to turn that off to prevent iTunes from repopulating your drive trying to deal with those "missing" tracks.
    If you add tracks in bunches to iTunes and want them to go to different media folders you will need to either add them by holding down the option key while dragging if the desired media folder is not the one set in preferences, or by changing the media folder in preferences.  Changing media folder preferences only applies to new files added, not old ones.
    Okay, I am going to stop typing because you might just reply to me, "Oh, okay, forget it," and I don't need the exercise.

  • Is there a way to get my iTunes library on a galaxy s4?

    i upgrade my phone in 2 weeks and i was thinking on upgrading to a galaxy s4.  i currently have an ipnone 4s and i dont think it is worth upgrading to an iphone 5 because its basicaly the same thing.  i havent bought that many apps so that doesnt worry me but what i am worried about is all my music.  i have a lot of music and as a 16 y/o i dont make enough with my part-time job to buy all that music again.  is there a way to get my itunes library into a GS4?
    P.S.  i have a MBP
    thanks,
       Jesus

    Check the instructions provided with the player. You may need to convert the music to MP3 first and/or locate it in the Finder.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • HT1349 Is there anyway possible to retrieve your Itunes Library from crashed computer

    We had a computer that crashed around Christmas time.  We had put SO much in our Itunes library and now we have to start all over again.  Is there a way to retrieve that Itunes library and successfully import it to our new computer?

    Yes, although it depends a bit on how your library is organised. If everything is in the iTunes standard folders, libraries are in ...My Documents\My Music\iTunes and all the media in ...My Documents\My Music\iTunes Music then you can share the main iTunes folder over your network. Install iTunes on the laptop, then hold shift immediately after clicking on the iTunes shortcut to get the option to choose or create a new library. Navigate to your network share and open the iTunes Library.itl file. Don't try to access the library from two machines at the same time.

  • Best way to move/copy iTunes library from PC to Mac

    Hi,
    What's the best way to get my iTunes library from my PC to my new Mac?
    The two computers are both networked.
    Thanks.

    Greetings David:
    I have just completed this task... It took many attempts to get the two computers talking (windows xp pro, and new Imac g5). When I finally got them to talk to each other, the file transfer was brutallly slow. I used the ether-net cable to connect the two machines directly. The system was not very stable and crashed continuously. I would get one or two songs transferred and then the mac would lock up and require a restart (command option esc), via force quit of finder. Relaunch would not work, and I had to shut the machine off with the on off switch each time.
    Today I finally burned the tunes on 2 CDs and simply dumped them into the music file. The PC burns a full ( ~ 800 megs) in about 10 minutes. Mac can down load the CD in ~ 6 minutes. This adds up to less than 20 minutes. Using the direct connection (indicated 100 Mbts/sec on the PC) the process was pathetically slow (hours restarting and horsing around).
    One of my goals was to get the machines talking to each other, having accomplished this, it think it is not a worthwhile effort.
    Best of luck to you,
    Mike

  • Is there any way to get my iPhone 4S from Verizon to work in Hong Kong?  So far it only says cannot activate cellular data

    Is there any way to get my iPhone 4S from Verizon to work in Hong Kong?  So far it only says cannot activate cellular network.  I have cleared all settings, turned off CDMA...etc and still nothing.

    If you are there now, there is nothing you can do.  Before going you should have talked with Verizon, they have international service programs they can activate, but it has to be before going.

  • Is there a way to export an iTunes playlist from a windows XP pc and import on an iMac?

    I have a PC running Windows XP that I've had for many years. I just got an iMac and want to make that my main music source for syncing iPods, playing,music in the house, etc. I have a lot of playlists on the old PC that I want to move over to the iMac and I don't have to rebuild them all by hand. Is there a way to export the original playlists from the Windows PC and import them to the iMac since the file systems are different? Thanks.

    The problem really is that one person has InDesign and the other has Photoshop.
    The workflow is images from photoshop are placed in Photoshop.
    Not the layout from InDesign is placed in photoshop.
    That's how the software is designed to work.
    What people are saying is that Photoshop cannot work this way in dealing with layouts, it's a nightmare and will give you terrible results and cost you time and effort when updating things in Photoshop, it has all the makings of a Final Destination movie, particularly in the area of the later sequels.
    But let's not get hung up on those franchises.
    If the person needs to edit an Indesign file and can't afford the full cost of InDesign then there are other workarounds:
    1. If it's just text
    If all they are doing is updating text then you can use File>Export>Rich Text Format from a selection of text, this will make a Word version of the text that they can edit. You can then use File>Import and import the RTF that is edited.
    2. You can use InCopy
    This is a viable solution for editors that need to see the text in the Layout Format, but it hasn't got all the bells and whistles of InDesign, but it works in tangent with InDesign, it's not as pricey as InDesign and it also allows you to lock out editors from editing certain parts or moving things within the layout. And it can update your InDesign file on the fly.
    3. You can use Rorohikos Story Tweaker
    http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/2009/03/25/storytweakertextedits/
    There are workarounds that you can find for people that don't have InDesign. It's just that the Photoshop workflow isn't a viable solution in any sense.
    For example, I have my layouts proofed in PDF format, where the proofreader adds Comments to the PDF. It works for our workflow as I'm the one editing the only file in existence.
    But to go from InDesign to Photoshop is a complete  waste of time and effort on everyone's part. There is no need to go that route, there's no reason, there's no point.

  • Is there any way to hide certain artists/albums in my iTunes library from Home Sharing?

    Is there any way I can hide some of my music from other people, like my sister, while they are accessing my iTunes library with Home Sharing?
    I have a few personal recordings that I don't want anyone but me to have access to.
    Is deleting them from my library the only option?

    It's not an ideal solution ... but have you considered creating a second library (called, say, "Private Library") containing just the personal recordings?
    To create the private library, hold down the shift key while launching iTunes. Click "Create Library" in the dialog that comes up.
    Once you've created and opened the "Private library", don't activate home sharing for it. Now go "Edit > Preferences". In the "Advanced" tab, select "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library", as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click OK.
    Now add the personal recordings to the Private Library.
    To get back to your original library, quit iTunes. Hold down the Shift key while launching iTunes ... but this time click the "Choose library" button. Browse to the iTunes library file for your original library and doubleclick that. You should now be seeing your original library.
    Delete the personal items from your original library.
    Now, in order to see those recordings in iTunes, all you have to do is do a "Choose library" when launching iTunes, and open Private library. Because Home sharing isn't activated for Private library, your sister won't be able to access those recordings. (She won't be able to access your original library either, though, when you have Private library running.)
