Multiple logins on 1 PC ... can't access Library

My family has four logins on our home desktop. We have one iTunes account. But we can only access that account from the orginal login.
I've tried enabling library "sharing" with no luck. How we ALL use that iTunes account?

My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it. I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to my new iTunes account. It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one! Help!

My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it. I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to iTunes. It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one!
How can I get my new iTunes account to allow me to Sync my iTouch? The only option it gives me is to "transfer purchases" from my iTouch to iTunes, but that is only about 25% of my iTunes library-most of it is CDs I have uploaded. How can I Sync without losing all my music from my iTouch???
Also, I have lectures and photos, etc. on my iTouch that I don't want to lose.
I've tried a few of the iPod copy programs-the free ones and the ones you have to pay for, but I can't find one that will work for ALL my content on an iTouch.
Right now, I can't get anything from my iTouch to iTunes, and I can't update my iTouch with my new iTunes purchases, so I'm stuck! Help!

Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer. I can't figure out why it won't let me do that.
The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos. I can't see videos, music, or anything else. What's going on?

How Can I Access Library Data on External Drive ?

i bought an ssd upgrade kit and had an apple tech install the ssd
i formatted and did a clean usb install of mavericks
i then put the standard 5400 drive from the mini into an external usb case
it all works great
but i cannot access the library files on the external drive
obviously if i hold option and go to "go" in the menubar, it takes me to the library on the new drive
how can i access library files (i need to get at the application support files for 1password) on an external usb drive ?
thanks

Open the folder containing the library, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu, and provide either Library/ or Library/Application Support/ as the path.

TS2972 home sharing is on but can't access library

home sharing is on but can't access itunes library

I just went through a lot of noggin scratching over this very same issue. Let me offer this advice: There are three places in iTunes 10.6.3 that could affect an Apple TV's ability to access your library. First, make sure that you turn on Home Sharing under the Advanced menu in iTunes. Then, go to Preferences and under the Sharing tab, check the box that says "Share my library on my local network." Finally, under the Parental tab in Preferences, there is a checkbox to disable Shared Libraries (although if this has been checked, it will say so under the Sharing tab). I hope this helps.

Multiple user profiles on Mac-can all access the same itunes/iphoto data?

Hi all,
Just quick question.
Is it possible to set up one mac with multiple users that have their own profiles ( own mail accounts etc) BUT all share the same i photo / itunes / i cal data files etc ? I want to combine the various libraries from a couple of our Mac's and merge them onto one new Imac that I am now sharing with my partner.
We both have iphones and so want to be able to both access our shared photos / music diary etc - but still choose different set ups etc for each of our iphones through seperate itunes through the different profiles?
Does this make sense?
Can any one shed any light on this for me?
Cheers
Paul

You almost might want to post this on the specific and various application forums to get information on how to do each program. Unfortunately OSX makes it incredibly difficult to bulk share files. It has a shared folder for common use, but from my experience unless you hand-edit permissions for each file you can only copy files from that area, not edit them.
For a start:

Multiple libraries on 1 computer, can't access new library

I have two libraries on two computers, one on each. I needed to move one library to the computer that already has one library. I followed all the steps on the apple article "how to use our ipod to move your music to a new computer". Now both libraries are on one computer, however the one I moved won't open in itunes. I know to hold the shift key down while clicking on itunes so it asks me to either choose a libary or create one. Whether I choose "create one" or "choose a library" it won't access the library I moved.
Help!

These directions?

Sadly, I believe those steps will overwrite the library file that was previously there.
Search your PC's hard drive for files containing ITL. How many itl library files does it find?

Can't access library folder on Time Machine Backup

I'll try to explain this as clearly as possible...
1) I have wiped my hard drive and completed a clean install of Mavericks. I did this due to persistant problems with disc permissions that I could not eliminate.
2) I did not want to take a chance on introducing problems with migrating a profile from my Time Machine backup so instead of using Migration Assistant, I used Finder to browse the Time Machine backup I made prior to reformatting my drive to simply copy all my necessary data files back onto the drive in my newly created profile.
3) I've reinstalled the majority of programs I use and everything is looking good (no disk permission problems when I've checked using Disk Utility).
4) Mail is working just find with all my accounts having been restored using my Apple ID.
Here's the problem....
I forgot that some of my mail had been stored on my local hard drive. I beleive this mail should be in my user/library/mail folder of my time machine backup. However, I cannot access my User/Library folder in Time Machine. I've tried opening my current (new) User/Library folder in Finder and then selecting "Browse Other Backup Discs" from the Time Machine icon and, although this opens the Time Machine backups, I cannot do any time travel...in other words, although there are many stacks of folders shown in the backup, I cannot move into the past from the present.
Any suggestions on how I can get this Mail folder out of the Time Machine user/library? I know there is some stuff there that I'm going to have to get to.
Thanks!

It woked to get me into my current User/Library of my "new" profile but I cannot move back in time into the actual backups despite the timeline increments on the right side of the screen in Time Machine showing they're are backups for the past several months. I'm stuck on this moment so to speak.
Got to hit the sack...head is swimming. Thanks for the suggestions Barney. Let me know if you think of any others.

Can't access library in Photoshop CC (or Illustrator CC)

I am running Photoshop CC 2014.1.0 and Adobe Creative Cloud says Photoshop CC (2014) is "up to date"
Illustrator CC (2014) is also "up to date"
In the Window menu there is no library option (doesn't appear in list)
I am signed in (confirmed this in Help).
Is there anything else I can try to be able to access the library?

I had the problem of it saying "Signed out of Creative Cloud" and it didn't give me the option of logging back in. So I downloaded Extension Manager CC. Under Illustrator CC 2014, un-checked the CC Libraries (make sure Illustrator and Photoshop are closed). Then clicked to enable the CC Libraries back on. Then it automatically signed me in after I opened Illustrator and Photoshop. Maybe this will work for someone else too!

How can I access ~/library on my time machine backup?

I recently re-installed OSX Lion and made sure i'd backed everything up before I did a clean install and did not want to transfer my old archive across. I need to access my user library on Time Machine so that I can restore my Transmit favourites and Little Snapper image database.
I've tried following the process here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3633972?start=0&tstart=0 but I get "The folder can't be found" (see screenshot) and now i'm at a complete as to what to do.
Any suggestions?

Last but not least, navigate the TM disk within the Finder, (do not enter TM).
When you are on the date you are looking for, navigate the directory structure until you reach the Users folder.
Open Terminal and type
cd
and a space, drag and drop your user name folder inside the Terminal window. That completes the cd command for you. Hit return.
You are now into your user folder inside the TM disk. Type
cd Library
open .
please note the dot after open. Last command opens a Finder window of the Library folder inside TM disk.
Now you are ready to get what you need.

Exported Libraryto Ext Drive, Upgraded to iTunes10 now can't access library

Friends,
Your advice would greatly be appreciated on the following challenge:
* I successfully migrated my iTunes library to my external drive because i had no space on my hard drive
* I was using successfully.
* I had issues upgrading my iphone4 and was forced to upgrade to iTunes10 and factory reset the phone. (good news is that phone works fine, but its music was wiped out)
* Now when I log onto iTunes I cannot access my library on the external drive.
* I have redirected iTunes to look at the external drive for the library, but it still can't read the library.
All knowing forum users -- any ideas? I have to give back my computer in 2 weeks so I am fairly desperate to get this sorted.
Thanks in advance!

All....in looking @ other posts I reinstalled the most recent version of itunes and then did file>library>then chose the library on the external drive. Works great.

Digidesign midi timeout in mountain lion but can't access library files

Hi,
I have tried installing an old version of Pro Tools before realising it was not compatible with Mountain Lion. I have deleted all the drivers I could find but every time I try to use Garage Band, I get a Midi timeout error. M-box 2 and M-box Pro 2 are still showing in my Other folder in the Finder but I can't seem to be able to remove them and I suspect they're clashing with Garage Band. I have tried the various options offered in this community to access Main and User libraries but no matter what I try I can't get the Library folders up and therefore remove these plug-ins. Can anyone help, please?

All users can't access library

I have a Windows XP Home computer with two user accounts: administrator and limited. When I log in to the pc as admin and open iTunes I can see all the songs in the library, yet when I log in to the limited account and open iTunes I see nothing. It's completely empty. The iTunes Music folder is in C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTING\ALL USERS\SHARED DOCUMENTS\SHARED MUSIC, and in iTunes -> Preferences -> Advanced I have that path set as the iTunes music folder location for both the admin account and the limited account. Any ideas what I need to do to get the limited account to have access to the iTunes library?

Missing Go button in Finder, can't access Library

So I researched the forum posts and didn't find out how to get my Go button back. I need to access my Library folder.
When I click 'Option' an arrow appears in place of the button "Show items with QuickLook or Slideshow" - no Go button appears though. Anyway, I tried that and it just shows a full screen (black bg) with a ginormous Home icon and it calculates the size of the older. No Go.
Am I missing something? How do I see the Go Button if the option key doesn't work?
Using OSX Lion / 10.7.5 iMac
Thanks!

First of all, Go menu is in the menu bar between "View" and "Window".
Do you find it now?
