Multiple Macs... sharing same iTunes folder....

Not sure if there's a solution or not....
I have an external drive hooked up to my Airport Extreme. it's a shared drive for 3 of my Macs. That's where the iTunes folder is located for all machines as well (The drive is specifically for shared media).
Now... if computer 1 downloads or imports new music to their iTunes list, it's auto copied to the external drive in the iTunes folder. But computers 2-3 don't see the new music automatically in their iTunes library. I understand why, but is there ANY solution to "finding new media" within the folder?
Rather than importing the music manually 4 times (3 commputers and 1 with dual accounts), is there a script or does ANYONE have any ideas??
Thanks in advance!
MacBook Pro 17", iMac 1.25 GHz G4, iMac 450 MHz G3   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

Did you ever come up with a solution for this? I'm trying to do the same thing with my setup, 4 macs with shared external disk over Airport Extreme

  • ITunes on multiple Macs, sharing same library via network

    I have 2 Minis, each in a different part of the house. All music is stored on one drive and the library is shared. Is there a way to start playing music from one Mac's iTunes (say downstairs) and have the other Mac's iTunes recognize that music is playing and show that in sync with the other Mac?
    And have that same music playing through speakers attached to both Macs and the AirTunes speakers too?
    Or am I really experiencing some serious wishful thinking?
    I know, I can always share the other Mac's screen to see what is playing and control iTunes remotely, but what I'm really after is getting the same music to stream from the first Mac to the 2nd Mac's attached speakers (and yes I have AE with AirTunes, but that is plugged in next to the stereo in the basement).

    I believe that there is a program called Air Foil that will do what you want. I heard about it on a podcast--I'm pretty sure that it was Air Foil. It doesn't really sync the libraries, but it does allow the music to play through both computer's speakers at the same time.
    Use Air Foil in conjunction with their free "Air Foil Speakers" program.

    How to update software on multiple iPhones using same iTunes account?

    Here are more details on my situation which should help clarify things...
    I purchased three iPhone 4 models back when they first came out (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library.  The problem is (as I understand it) that I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct without wiping out the separate contact lists, etc. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates and still be able to manage separate contact lists, etc. If I go this route, I assume we will lose all the apps on phones #2 and #3 that we have been "sharing"... correct? Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, one of you can help me??
    we have 2 iphone 4's synced to the same itunes account for apps and music since the day we bought them, but each has a different icloud acct. they have both been updated on the same itunes account with every update that has come out since we bought them in december of 2010. nothing on either phone has ever been lost or duplicated. having said all that, maybe i'm missing something here, but we have had no problems. we do have itunes setup to sync manually. i do believe i'm a piker compared to lawrence finch, but i'm just telling you what happens in my house. maybe check with apple? is there a store near you?

  • Problem with 2 Mac Book sharing same iTune Music  library on Aiport Disk

    Dear all.
    I try to share iTunes between 2 Macbooks at home. Could appear easy, but not !
    Of course, these 2 macbook are not always at home.
    So I put the "home iTune library" on an airport disk connected to our AEBS.
    In both Macbook, I recorded in iTunes settings that iTune Music folder is on the airport disk.
    At this step: no problem; it works !
    But if one of the macbook changes something on the library (buy a song on ITMS for example), the song comes on the airport disk but the other macbook can't know that there is a new file in the iTunes Music folder !!!
    Could you help, please ?

    Hi
    This problem is inherent to using a common iTunes library on an AirPort disk. There is a simple but somewhat clunky solution. The xml file is actually (or should be) stored in the iTunes folder on your AirPort disk (the xml files in the iTunes folder on each MacBook are no longer used once accessing the AirPort library). Each time you quit iTunes on each machine, the xml file is saved and updated. So if you add tunes or alter playlists on one machine, to get the other to see the changes you must quit iTunes to update the xml file, and reopen iTunes on the second machine. I've seen some other posts about corrupting the xml file sharing this way, but I have not experienced this.
    I'm still working through some other little bugs with sharing iTunes and iPhoto libraries this way, and it turns out that Apple does not formally support this use of AirPort disk utility. I was told this while working with a tier 2 tech support for about an hour yesterday trying to solve an iTunes playback problem from the AirPort Disk with my network in WDS mode.
    I'll be interested to find out if there are scripts or other fixes for this and will check out the suggested link.
    good luck!

  • Multiple users sharing one itunes library

    i have multiple users on my mac, but i'd like us all to be able to access the same itunes library. when i go to itunes prefs on one of the other users accounts and redirect their music library to my folder, it says it is doing it, but itunes still goes to their own music folder instead of mine. i can share my library with the sharing pref, but while they can now listen to my music, they still can't use it in imovie. is there any easy way around this problem??
    thanks for your help.

    I wrote a simple shell script that executes each time a user logs in (well, actually, each time I log in, coz' it's not really applicable to other users). It syncs my work and home addressbooks and iCal calendars to one another.
    I named it "sync". Then I read somewhere that if you wanted to make it double-clickable (to launch it from the Finder), I appended a ".command" filename extension (so it's now named "sync.command"). I also did a chmod 755 to that file so that it had execute privileges. Depending on whether you give each user their own copy of this thing, or keep a single copy in, say, the /Users/Shared directory, you may have to play around with chmod. Whatever, just so long as the user that has just logged in has execute permissions to the file, and to the entire path to the file, you should be good.
    Then, in SysPrefs > Accounts > Login Items, I added that "sync.command" file to the list. So, really the only difference is I'm not wrapping mine inside an Automator script like you are.
    I had tried adding it to ~/Library/LaunchAgents and make a launchd plist for it, that would kick it off at login. But I didn't get that to work. Don't know why. But just adding the double-clickable executable unix script to the Login Items list did the trick. Whether the plist has to hang out there with it, I don't know. I still have it there, though, in case I ever get motivated to figure out what's wrong with my launchd plist file. So, if just adding it to the Login Items list doesn't do it for you, you could try making a (functional?) launchd plist for it and plopping them both in ~/Library/LaunchAgents, too. That's how I am now, and, like I said, it launches at user login as that user's process (not as a root process like the above referenced article said how login hooks worked -- although, you may want it to run as root since you want this to work with multiple users...in which case, you might want to listen to Cole and not me...).

  • Time machine multiple macs sharing one HD via Wifi

    I need help with time machine app.
    I would like to use one external hd for multiple macs to backup with time machine.
    I read about different method, the one that I think is better for me is to sharing the HD on a network.
    I have one Imac and two macbook.
    What I did is to connect the HD to the Imac and than I shared the HD volume with sharing files.
    I create two accounts for the macbooks and then I connected them.
    So far so good.
    But I din't use this network configuartion for the first backup, what I did instead was to connects the different computers one by one with thunderbolt.
    Now I had to change the destination dirve from the old HD (connected via thunderbolt) and the "new" shared HD - actually is the same drive!
    I thought that the macbook time machine app just recognize the last backup and just makes a new one from that point.
    But it seems doing a new backup. (Last backup: none)
    It creates a new file Macbook of Alessandro.sparsebundle
    Any tips?

  • Podcast synching on multiple macs with same account

    How do I get my podcasts to synch on multiple macs and therefore ipods with same itunes authorized account, ie the subscriptions I have on home computer don't show up on my work itunes account and therefore when I'ved watched flying one way, when I land I want to load the next set of episodes, but find the need to create entirely new subscriptions?
    Thanks
    george

    I was able to resolve the problem using addMessageCountListener and messagesAdded method, as suggested by you.
    I am now facing another problem. Whenever a new message is received, code inside messagesAdded method gets executed. Here I am trying to spawn another thread and do some stuff. But this new thread is not starting at all. It goes into some JavaMail:EventQueue and does nothing. What is the concept of EventQueue here? How can I get this new thread executed?
    Also will there be synchronization problems in messagesAdded method. Say I received a message and I am processing it in the messagesAdded method. In the mean time another message comes up. How will this behave.

  • Using MacPro and PC Laptop -- sharing same itunes library on External Drive

    Hi guys, my main computer is a Early 2008 MacPro with Lion installed on it. I have iTunes 10.5 and all my music is classified witht that version of iTunes. But all my music is actually stored in an external 1GB WD Passeport HD.
    Thing is I have a dj gig and have to bring my pc laptop to play music. This  laptop has Windows 7 installed on it with iTunes 10.5.
    What I want to achieve here is to be able to connect the external HD (with all my music on it and run iTunes and see the same thing I would see if I was on my mac : my playlist, comments, id3 tags, etc…
    I actually did this :
    On the PC --> in itunes, went to Preferences/Advanced, set the itunes library to the folder itunes on my external HD (my itunes library and my itunes music folder is setted there). 
    I exported my library from itunes MAC (Files-->Library-->Export Library) (it's a XML file) and imported it in my itunes windows installation (Import Playlist).
    Thing is I see some files like my podcasts and audiobooks, but I dont see any of my other songs or apps, even if they are in my external HD. I see the playlist but they are empty.
    Any ideas?

    thanks for the help tt2, really usefull!
    Just to be sure i'm doing things right, let me explain more in detail what is my actual setup to know how your explainations applies to it.
    Ok. First, my main goal here is to consolidated all my music in one place on one external HD. Let's call it ExHD1.
    Actually, my setup involved that all my dj music (1600 tracks in wav format) and my iTunes music are on another external HD, we will call it ExHD2.
    Thing is, if I move the wav tracks to another computer, all the tag informations (covert art, title, artist, comments, album, etc) are lost. It's because WAV format do not keep that info. I've recently knew that AIFF format can keep all that info. So I manage to convert (with iTunes built-in utility) all my wav files to AIFF. I've tested it and yes, it keeps everything so far.
    But I tried before to make the cross-plateform to work so I have copied all the converted AIFF to my ExHD1 in a specific Beatport folder. Like this.
    I had an intense way of manage them in itunes where I made 150+ playlists. I have, before reading your comments,  replace all the wav files, to their equivalent in aiff. I just replace the files in the playlist. If you go in the main music window, you can see that for each songs, there is a wav, a aiff, and mp3 format of the song.
    Sometimes I have 2x mp3 versions of the song, i don't remember why. I've created these versions long ago. So the thing here is that I have the wav + mp3 version of my tunes on my ExHD2, the aiff version in ExHD1 (the main HD i want to use) and a duplicate mp3s of these tunes ALSO on my internal MAC HD.
    ++ note that I don't have music on my PC internal HD and not planning to keep ones. ++
    So, this is my actual setting of my iTunes, where I have copied my iTunes folder on my new ExHD1 and set iTunes to point his library to there.
    Also, this is my settings in Preferences/Advanced
    Note that before yesterday, the Keep itunes Media... and Copy files were unchecked.
    I prefer that way because I like to manually manage my songs. But I think for what i want to achieve, we need to check this again?
    So the main goal here is I want to keep the wav format in the ExHD2 for backup, get rid of the mp3s that I've done before (the mp3 copys of the wav), consolidate everything at one place only: ExHD1.
    Also, will my Windows installation (on my pc), when i will set the itunes library to be on the ExHD1, recognize all the playlist I did, and recognize the path of the songs?
    Thanks for the help tt2, i know there's a lot, hope I have well explained it. Hope you can answer shorly because my gig is tommorow

  • Updating Song Attributes for Multiple Users Sharing a Media Folder

    I have 2 users on the same iMac, each with their own library but sharing the same media folder. If one user updates song attribute information (example - adding the song year), how does the other user update his library with those attribute changes? I tried to do File-->Add to library which is the way one user adds songs to his library that the other user added, but that didn't work. If I play the song, it updates the information. If I select File-->Get Info for a single song, it updates the information, but if I select multiple songs it does NOT update the information.

    Got into the same issue today; I selected all the songs and updated the ratings. That helped to sync with the latest attributes. If you care about your song ratings.. then this might not help you.

  • Can two Macbook Pro's share the same Itunes folder(all media in Ituens) on an external drive (like Time Capsule)? How and what issues may arise?

    Hey, I have two macbook pros (250 gb). They are both running out of space. My first thought was to share an iphoto library off of Dropbox or our Time Capsule. But, I heard that if one file gets corrupted (interenet cuts out, for example) then the whole library gets corrupted. Well, we're full again and now I am wondering if I could move our Itunes folders to our Time Capsule, sync/sort them both so there won't be any duplicates and then use this as a shared itunes library. So first, is this possible? Both computers share the same itunes account.
    Second, if I do, and I purchase a song, show, whatever, does it automatically be added to the itunes library on our Time Capsule and then it is available for both computers to access? Or do  I need to "import" it on both?
    Third, does the "file corruption" issue listed above pertain to itunes?
    I saw a discussion about this but it was form 2008. I am sure things have changed a bit since then.
    Thanks for the help!

  • How can I get rid of multiple versions of the iTunes Folder

    I am using Windows 7 and iTunes 12.1.1.4.  Multiple iTunes folders have been created on my computer (on both my C: drive and my D: drive under Users and My Documents) and they all have different content.  Some albums show up in one instance of the iTunes\iTunes media\music folder and some show up in another.  How do I get all the content synched up?  Can I simply drag and drop all these iTunes folders into D:\My Documents\My music\iTunes (the D: drive being where I store all my documents and photos) and then delete the rest of the iTunes instances?

    Several remedies may apply:
    For media files that are correctly linked from your iTunes Library, i.e., they will play without reporting something like this:
    you can make sure that everything is contained within your main iTunes folders by selecting File > Library > Organize Library... and when you get this prompt:
    check the Consolidate files box and, if not greyed out, the Reorganize files ... box and then click OK.  This will move any media files that are in other locations to the folders under the setting in Edit > Preferences > Advanced:
    This is the location of your media folder.  By default, this will be C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media, where your iTunes database (the iTunes Library.itl file) is stored in C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes.  In general that relationship between the database and the media folders should be preserved - in the example above the complete library is stored on a external drive, with the database in K:\iTunes and the media folder location being K:\iTunes\iTunes Media.  Note that this setting doesn't tell iTunes where to find media files (that info is embedded in the database); rather, this setting determines where new media is placed within the media folders.
    Checking this causes iTunes to automatically place media in folders, and (re)name media files, based on the metadata associated with the files.  For music this means that everything will be in folders following the pattern iTunes Media\Music\artist_name\album_title and files to be named using the disc number (if present), track number and song name.
    Checking this makes iTunes copy all new media into the media folders, independent of the method of adding it.
    Second case ...
    For songs that are listed in your library but you do get the "missing file" error, right-click on one of these songs - there will be a "(!)" symbol next to its name, right-click > Get Info.  When you get this prompt:
    click No (there's a bug in iTunes 12 such that you actually have to click No twice).  Then go to the File tab and look for the Location information - sometimes you have to scroll down or expand the editor window to see it.  You'll see something like this:
    The "file://localhost/" prefix indicates that iTunes can't locate the file.  The rest of the entry is the path to the file that iTunes holds in its database, i.e., where iTunes "thinks" the file is.  This may be enough of a clue to determine where it actually is - close the editor, right-click > Get Info again, but when you the "... cannot be located ..." prompt click Yes then navigate to and select the correct media file.  In many cases iTunes will then be able to adjust its location info for other songs.  Otherwise there are a number of techniques that you can use to track down and repair these broken links - often using scripts running against the iTunes database.
    ... and the third case:
    If you have folders that are labeled as "iTunes" but their content doesn't appear in your library within iTunes itself, add these to the library by any of these methods:
    select File > Add Folder to Library... then navigate to and select the folder(s) containing the "missing" albums/songs
    drag and drop these folders from Windows Explorer into iTunes
    copy these folders into iTunes' Automatically Add to iTunes folder
    Once you've been through these steps its probably worth running the Consolidate Library process again to make sure everything's in the right place.  Once you've checked that to be the case, you can delete any stray "iTunes" folders that are outside the hierarchy rooted in the folder where your database and your standard iTunes Media files are located.
    Two final points:
    Moving files and folders around yourself never fixes anything in iTunes - in most cases it'll only make things worse by creating (more) broken links
    A couple of turingtest2's valuable user tips also apply here:
    Make a split library portable describes the optimal layout for an iTunes library, easing the processes of moving it between computers and maintaining a backup of it, as well as the steps needed to bring a library into that shape
    Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy describes a suitable/recommended method to create and maintain a backup ... when you've gone through the effort to make your library just exactly perfect you don't want to lose it all as the result of a virus, hard disc crash, or other fatal failure!

  • Sharing same iTunes library between two OSX partitions

    I have two partitions with an instance of 10.6.6 on each. Is there a way that my iTunes library on one partition can also be used by the other? So if I boot up OSX from the second drive, then I want to be able to access the library on the other partition.

    From one OS, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to the other library. Both installs may need to be running the same iTunes version.

  • Multiple Macs using same Apple ID for iTunes

    I have two macs, and I've been trying to download itunes purchased content onto one that I purchased on the other. I'm using the same Apple ID for iTunes access on both, but now it won't let me download, giving me that infuriating message about only being able to associate a device with one Apple ID over a three month period. I've neved used any other Apple ID for this, so I'm very confused about what could be happening. Only started after "upgrading" to iOS5 and iCloud.

    iTunes Match is associated with only one Apple ID and cannot be shared across Apple IDs. For your wife to make use of iTunes Match and see the music in the cloud she must login to your Apple ID on the iTunes Store and she will have to stay logged in. This may cause difficulty when updating apps purchased with her Apple ID.
    Also keep in mind that a computer can only be associated with one Apple ID for iTunes Match, automatic downloads and re-downloading of content once every 90 days: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627.
