Move itunes library to new Account on same mac book pro

I created a new account (account 2)  on my mac and my itunes did not automatically move all data in itunes on my old account  (Account 1)
I opened up the sharing in system preferences and I have clicked on file sharing, and see both accounts . But No music in my itunes library.
How do I get the music ??
Thanks

Move it to /Users/Shared/ and then into account 2's Music folder, or drag the folder directly there and authenticate yourself.

  • Wanting to access iTunes library on our iMac from our Mac Book Pro

    Hello - Can anyone help?
    Wanting to access iTunes library on our iMac from our Mac Book Pro - home sharing is switched on and can play both via Apple TV but how do I copy a playlist from the IMAC library to my library on the Mac book pro.

    Hi Michael and thanks for your help.
    I had worked out how to play the itunes library as I did find that page but I can't copy anything.
    As soon as I click on Music (from the shared library on the Library-pop-up-menu) I get my husbands library which is good and we can play it. But we cant figure out how to copy and cant  do step 2 (as per below) as we can't find the "Show menu at the bottom of the iTunes window, choose “Items not in my library.” Any further advice?
    Many thanks...Elaine
    Import items from other libraries using Home Sharing
    Choose a computer on your Home Sharing network from the Library pop-up menu.The library loads and a list of categories appears.
    Choose a category (Music, for example).
    In the Show menu at the bottom of the iTunes window, choose “Items not in my library.”
    Select the items you want to import, and click Import.

  • How do I move my iTune library from a pc to my mac book pro?

    I'm getting my son a MacBook Pro.  How can I get his iTune library from a pc to his new Book?

    I keep my library on an external hard disk, as I have moved machines it is just a case of plugging it in, telling iTunes the path to the library, this works for me as I do not add items frequently and keeps the hard disk space free for other uses in my case my photos.

  • How to transfer my ITunes library from External Hard Drive to Mac Book Pro

    I recently had an issue with my Mac Book(OS X Yosemite)  Had to take it to the store and they fixed it (replaced graphics mother board or something like that) Before that  I backed up the whole laptop on an external hard drive. When I connect the external hard drive I can open all my files, not sure how to transfer it, I see the External hard drive and can drag it but where do i drag it because on my Mac Book I can't  find Music. Should I drag it to the desktop and then drag it to the music when I disconnect the external ? Thanks

    Choose Home from the Finder's Go menu, double-click the Music item, and drag it there.

  • Move an iTunes library between users on the same mac

    How do I move an iTunes library between users on the same mac?
    I accidentally created a secondary user on my mac some time ago when using the migration tool and am now going back and transferring all my files from the secondary to the admin user profile.
    I wanted to know which itunes files/folders need to be copied over.
    Is the process as simple as replacing the itunes folder on admin with the copied itunes folder from my secondary profile or do I need to delete the admin folder first and then copy the old folder over or do I delete the contents of the folder and replace with the copied contents?
    I am using shared folders to move between users, but want to make sure that I am picking the right files to transfer.
    Thanks in advance.

    Assuming you have left iTunes to default settings so everything is still in the iTunes folder the way iTunes likes it to be, copy the whole of the iTunes folder to the new location.  If it is in the default directory (Home > Music) for iTunes the application will automatically use it there for the new account.  If you put it elsewhere you will have to start iTunes and immediately hold down the option key to direct it to the new location.
    It is just possible you will have to change permissions.  If you encounter those issues read the part about changing permissions on the iTunes folder in: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11583914

    It won't show up on your Apple TV until it is fully downloaded into iTunes on your computer, have you done this.

  • Can i sync more than 1 iPhone to my i tunes account on my mac book pro?

    can i sync more than 1 iPhone to my i tunes account on my mac book pro?

    Yes, and you DO NOT have to have the "exact same info on it" as chrisfromgastonia says. That is not true.  You can have whatever content you like on each device, iTunes will keep it all straight, by device, including separate backups.

  • How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders. They don't show up on my mac, they do on my iPhone and iPad.

    How do set up your hotmail account on a mac book pro properly? I have it set up so I get mail but on my hotmail account I have lot of separate folders to save messages in(for example :- bank, skyp, work, Facebook, apple, ect...). They don't show up on my mac. I also have an iPhone and iPad, there is no issue here when I set those up. I automatically got my separate folders. Anybody have any idea or encountered the same problem?

    Cheers,
    I'm not gonna lie, I actually have no idea if its pop or imap. Do you know where you can check and if it can be changed?
    Hotmail on a Mac is POP3 only, you will only get the basic folders (inbox, sent, trash etc) and it will not sync with other devices.
    And now I post this I see other replies, so this is redundant. !!

    Your description of the problem is a bit confusing.  Do you have ONLY ONE Apple ID or do you have MORE THAN ONE?

    This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
    Here's the link for the safeboot

  • Can i install windows 7 and OS X together on the same Mac Book Pro?

    can i install windows 7 and OS X together on the same Mac Book Pro?

    You can do it either using Boot Camp or by running a virtual machine, such as Parallels Desktop (which I use) or VMFusion. I prefer the VM method, as I don't have to reboot using the handful of Windows applications that I use. And I can access my Windows apps just as I do my Mac apps - copy and paste between them, etc.
    I just upgraded from Parallels 7 to 8 and I'm quite happy with it, running Mountain Lion on a late 2011 MBP with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. I also have a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display and there are no problems with video drivers, etc.
    If I were you - unless I needed every inch of performance that running Boot Camp can bring - I'd go with a VM to run Windows. I can attest to the functionality of Parallels - perhaps others with experience with other VMs will chime in.
