Share iTunes library among accounts

Hi there, my iTunes library is placed on a FW drive where mine and my wife's accounts have read/write access. So we both "theoretically" share the library.
The problem is: I add new music to the library - for instance iTunes plus music - from my account, when I switch to my wife's account it doesn't show the last added, so I have to re-add the music...
Is there a way to share the library "actively", so that I don't have to add music to the same library from each account?
Thank you
F.

This is the most simple way to share between your snow leapord and bootcamp windows 7. i deem this method the 'safest & correct method' of adding ' literally sharing' your library between different OSs.
part 1
1. on itunes software under bootcamp windows 7, go to edit > perferences.
2. go to under advance tab, look at itunes media folder location.
3. change it to: e:\users\username\music\itunes\itunes media.
4. uncheck keep itunes media folder organized.
5. uncheck copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library.
6. hit ok.
part 1 easily completed!
final part =D
7. on itunes software under bootcamp windows 7, go to file > library > import playlist
8. point your default itunes software under snowleapord playlist: e:\users\username\music\itunes\itunes music library.xml
9. now just sit back and wait while it imports the library!
final part easily completed!
enjoy!

  • ITunes - Possible to share iTunes Library between accounts?

    Hello all,
    I'm an experienced Mac user but am currently setting up a new iMac for my family. I've never had more than one user account because I'm the only one who uses my macbook but now my family wants 3 different user accounts for the new iMac in their home.
    Because I only use my one user account at home, I never thought about the fact that different user accounts would also split up iTunes music libraries. If I import music from a CD, I would like that to be accessible and available when using any 1 of the 3 user accounts. Is this possible?
    For example, my mother and father purchase CDs together...so they both own the same albums. They want to share music on the iMac, but if I import discs twice it takes up twice the amount of time and much more importantly twice the amount of space. How can I get around this??? Can one user access another users iTunes library and make that the default folder?
    Thanks for your help as always!!

    Try this thread.
    Bottom post, should work.

  • How to share iTunes library between accounts

    Lots of various ways have been sugested but none kinda work the easy way i was looking for. So, here's what i did and it works great... so far. (sorry if this is a repeat of something somebody has already said, if so I didn't find it):
    1- moved the iTunes music folder to the shared folder (probably not neccessary anymore but it will stay there...)
    2- changed the pref in iTunes under advance to find this new path. (in both accounts)
    3- downloaded BatChmod
    4- draged both user folders over the utility icone (one at a time) and checked marked all settings to give max permissions to both accounts. also checked both autor/owner and unlock then applied. (now all I have and all my wife has under each accounts are totaly accessible by both)
    5- Since my account had the latest version of the iTunes library file I alt/command draged an alias into the other acount. Deleted the existing iTunes library file.
    Tested and works great... if i make a change it's noticible in both accounts and vice versa.
    Hope this helps

    Cubi,
    I apologize in advance for bothering you, but I am having problems. These are the steps I followed:
    1. Moved Itunes Music Folder to shared folder and changed location of music folder in Itunes Preferences to point to the shared folder in both user accounts. My library is the only one currently on the system.
    2. Downloaded and ran BatChmod on entire user (house icon) for both me (User 1) and then logged into User 2 and ran BatChmod on entire User 2 house icon. As suggested I checked every box on the BatChmod utility including auto/owner and unlock and then applied.
    3. Created Alias of Itune Library file in User 1 (my) directory and copied it into User 2's ITunes Music Directory, removed Alias extension and deleted existing ITunes Library file in User 2's account.
    The files are currently organized as:
    - User 1 (seth) ITunes Account contains:
    - ITunes Library data file
    - ITunes Music Folder
    - ITunes Music Library.xml
    - Shared ITunes Folder contains:
    - ITunes Music Folder
    - User 2 ITunes Account contains:
    - ITunes Library data file (former ALIAS - arrow indicates still alias)
    - ITunes Music Library.xml
    When I (User 1) open ITunes, everything works fine and I see my playlists and library. However, when I try to open Itunes logged in as User 2, I get the following error message: "ITunes music library file is locked, on a locked disk or you don't have permission to access it."
    I already ran BatChmod so I followed your suggestion and went to Command-I and insured that all Ownership, Permissions and Details state that Owner, Group and Others all have "Read & Write" permissions. Its still not working.
    Any suggestion what I am doing wrong? Did I make it overly complex? Sorry to bother but your instructions make it seem really easy.

  • Sharing itunes library among multiple computers?

    Hey all,
    We are a Mac family. We have an iMac and a Powerbook, and I recently bought an iBook for my wife. We'd love to be able to share our iTunes library among the computers. Is there an easy way to set this up? Any help would be greatly appreciated......
    I'm betting this has been talked about elsewhere but wasn't sure if there was a simple solution I'm missing.
    Thanks in advance.....
    jon

    It depends on what you mean exactly. If you want to simply be able to play stuff out of each other's libraries, you can turn on Sharing in the iTunes preferences. Any computers on the same network with iTunes open and with sharing turned on, will see each other's libraries (they show up in the left side column like a playlist sort of). But this method of sharing only allows you to play their stuff. You will not be able to add the songs to your own library, add the songs to your own playlist, or burn a CD of songs from their library.
    If your question was how to have a SINGLE central library serving all the computers, I don't think it can be done, at least not easily.

  • Unable to share iTunes library between multiple users on one Mac

    I've got an iMac (running Snow Leopard) and I'm trying to share a single iTunes library among three users (Admin, and two others), but I simply cannot get it to work.  I have followed the instructions in this Apple KB article "to a tee", checked and doublechecked permissions (read/write for everyone) on the iTunes Music folder (moved to /Users/Shared), and it just won't take.  The original library owner (Admin) can still access all music as normal, but no other user can.  I've tried deleting everything from each users' ~/Music/iTunes folder and the iTunes plists, so I could start each user fresh, but NOTHING has worked.  iTunes for the other users simply does not recognize any media.  Like I said, I've followed all of the instructions in the KB article linked above.
    Since that seems to be the "official" method that every other thread on this subject references, I'm looking for some troubleshooting tips to help me discover what exactly is wrong here.
    Thanks in advance!

    Chris, thanks for the reply.  Are you telling me that I should move the iTunes folder itself, and not merely the iTunes Media folder, as instructed by the KB article?  At this point, I'd be willing to try just about anything, but the KB article specifically states:
    Important: Do not move the iTunes folder, the iTunes Library file or the iTunes Library.xml file.
    As I stated above, I did exactly what the KB article said to, which is to move the iTunes Media folder (called iTunes Music on my iMac, since the library has been around since pre-iTunes 8 or so) to /Users/Shared, and then go into iTunes Prefs for each user, and under the advanced tab, choose the location of the library for each user.  I know that this method does NOT share iTunes library (.itl or .xml, or the other associated files), and doing what you suggest would, but I'm curious if that would cause any problems.
    And yes, like I said in the OP, I did check/change all file permissions on that folder appropriately.
    Thanks again for the help!  Please let me know if I'm reading your suggestion right!

  • How can I share itunes library across 5 users on a single iMac?

    I have a new iMac and have set up 5 user accounts for each member of the family.  My account is the administrator account.  All of the iTunes music is in the Music folder of my user area.  I would like all users to have access to this library.  I have tried making the music folder a shared one and selecting it when in iTunes from other user areas but can't make it work.  Any advice?

  • How To Share An iTunes Library Among Several Users

    I want to migrate my iTunes library to an external HD, to free some space in the iMac, and be able to share and add files in the same library among the family members in my iMac.

    Niel's instructions don't cover you 100%.  You want to keep things on a different drive and there won't be a "shared" folder there. That's only on your main drive.  You also have to migrate media and/or your library to a different drive using a special process or you will end up breaking all your music links.
    You need to clearly state what you want to share.  You can share just media or you can share your whole library structure.  Sharing only media is safest but if you share a common media pool you will all have to keep each other appraised of additions (and deletions, because those too will affect everybody) from the pool.  You have to be pretty trusting and coordinated on this.  Alternatively you can make it so others can copy your media but you will each have your own copy of the file so if somebody else wants to change the name on a track it doesn't do it to the copy you use too.  Of course this takes up the most space but is the safest.  Which migration procedure to do will depend upon your answers to this section.
    Finally, I hope you have a backup plan implemented on this.  Nobody will be happy when that external drive fails and it all disappears.

  • Best way to share iTunes library with two user accounts?

    I have a single iTunes library on my Macbook Pro.  I would like to share between to user accounts, each with Apple ID's.  What's the best way to do so?  Right now, I've given the second user rights to read/write to the first users "Music" folder.  But when one user adds song files, the other must "Add Folder" in order to see the new purchases.  It's kind of putsy.  Is there a better way?  Thanks!

    Hello again,
    Have the iTunes Library located in the Shared Folder for instance and then launch iTunes in both users while holding option (or alt) on your keyboard. Choose the iTunes library file wherever it may be located. You can keep it in the same spot if you want (i.e. your Music folder). Many people have their's on a local network hard drive and do this.
    The benefit is that when one user updates the iTunes library file, the next user will open an updated version that has all songs that the other user added.
    Since you have one computer shared, this should be fine. I am unsure what happens when multiple computers/users access the library file at the same time.

  • Can i share itunes library between separate user accounts?

    i bought a new imac and i am in the process of migrating from my pc. I have transferred my itunes library into my user account on my imac from my old windows computer. I have 3 other user accounts on my imac that i would like to be able to access the same library. I have selected the option to share libraries, but i cannot seem to access the itunes library on any of the other user accounts. Since the music files are on the hard drive, it seems like i should be able to access those files on all accounts. any suggestions?

  • How to share iTunes library between 2 accounts on 1 Mac

    I want to share my library with my son on his account. Both accounts are on the same computer. What steps do I need to take to do this? Thank you in advance.

    My wife and I share the same iTunes library on the same Mac but have separate user accounts.
    To do this:
    1. Make a folder called ‘Music’ in Users/Shared and move your iTunes library to this new folder.
    2. Ctrl + click on the ‘Music’ folder and select ‘Get Info’.
    3. Click on the padlock icon at the bottom of the ‘Get Info’ window and enter your password.
    4. Set the permissions as follows:
    Your user name (Me) = Read & Write
    Wheel = Read & Write
    Everyone = Read & Write
    5. Click on the gear icon to the left of the padlock and choose ‘Apply to enclosed items’.
    6. Click OK.
    7. Close the ‘Get Info’ window.
    8. Log into each user account and create an alias to the new shared iTunes library in their User/Home/Music folder (the default location for the iTunes library).
    Note: If an iTunes library already exists in the users ‘Music’ folder you will need to delete this first and don’t forget to backup just in case something goes wrong.
    Each account will now be able to access the same shared music library.
    One final thing which usually catches people out. You will need to tell iTunes to ‘Keep iTunes Music folder organised’ and ‘Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to library’.
    To do this:
    1. Open iTunes
    2. From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences
    3. Click Advanced
    4. Select the ‘Keep iTunes Music folder organised’ option
    5. Select the ‘Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library file’ option
    6. Click OK
    Note: This needs to be done in both user accounts.
    The only slight down side of this method is that if I add any new music to the shared iTunes library in my account, my wife has access but she isn’t able to change the info (artist name, album, track number etc…) as I am the owner of that music (the files have standard permissions applied when added so I have Read & Write access but my wife has read only access). The same applies if my wife adds some music through her user account. This isn’t a problem for me as I’m the one who manages the library and adds music, my wife simply wants to be able to access it.
    If you want to manually change the permissions so that both users can change info, simply navigate to the ‘iTunes Music’ folder which is located in Users/Shared/Music/iTunes/ and Change the permissions using the same method above, making sure you ‘Apply to enclosed items’.
    This will need to be repeated each time any new music is added. If you want to know how to set things up so both users can change info on tracks without having to manually change permissions each time then this can be done, but it will require delving into ACL permissions.

  • How do i share my itunes library across accounts on my Mac mini server?

    got the new server for the holidays and I migrated my entire itunes library from my old PC.  It was my expectation that the accounts on the server would all have access to the same library, however, that does not appear to be the case.  When my son logged in and we opened iTunes, the library was empty.
    clearly the default is that each user would have their own library.  What do I need to do for the library to be visible to all of the accounts?  And what, if anything do I need to do so that additional accounts automatically have the correct iTunes library loaded?
    Thanks

    Is this 10.8 Server?

  • Syncing the same iTunes library among multiple computers

    I have two computers, a Windows 7 laptop and a new iMac. iTunes on both computers are signed into the same Apple ID. I currently have my iTunes library on my laptop, but I would like to also have the exact same library on my iMac. For instance, if I download a new podcast to my laptop, it should be placed on my iMac as well. When I delete the podcast, it should be deleted on the iMac too. When song metadata is updated on my laptop (play count, lyrics, etc), I want it updated on the iMac automatically.
    I have not had much experience with Home Sharing, but would that do all of this automatically? I know I could manually transfer songs from one computer to the other using Home Sharing, but what about updated metadata or deleting files?
    iCloud has made this situation more interesting. I know iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match will keep music files in sync among various devices (including metadata?), but what about podcasts or movies or files not purchased via iTunes? I know there are plenty of details that are yet to be released concerning iCloud, but do you think it will solve this problem entirely, or will manual labor be required to obtain the exact same library among multiple computers?
    I have considered only using my iMac to maintain my library, since it is always on and I could use Home Sharing to listen to music on my laptop since they are on the same Wifi network. However, I feel it would be best to keep the same library on two computers for when I take my laptop on vacation away from my home network.
    What would you suggest for this situation?
    Thanks!

    sorry about the slight irrelevence of this post on this thread....i saw this much older post you had in my explorations and it is almost to a "T" my issue currently and i was wondering if you ever came to a conclusion or had any tips or resolution paths i could explore. your original message:
         I have 2 computers I'd like to set up Home Sharing on. One is Windows XP and the other is Windows 7.
         I set it all up but then the libraries never show up. Nothing happens.
         The computers are on the same network and I can successfully share files and a printer. Both computers are      authorized using the same account. Both are signed into that account.
         I don't know why it's not working. Can you please help?
              Thanks!!
    is EXACTLY my problem with the only variable being that both of my computers run 7. furthermore, you went on to say you were experiencing issues with the "remote" app. that was the initial objective for me in my system that got me here with a deeper problem with home share. i want to home share my itunes library and control it from my iPod touch 4g. is that such an unreasonable request?!?!? lol. i'm incredibly frustrated and was hoping that since you had such specifically similar circumstances....have you found a solution? PLEASE HELP!!! thank you so much for your time.

  • How do I share iTunes Library and Playlists

    I had a desktop mac with 2 login accounts, we enjoy having our own spaces, mail, desktops, prefs, etc.. but we do not wish to duplicate nor keep either one out of our digital assests, ie music, photos, etc..
    I used to have an alias to the other users itunes library and all was fine. He is the predominant music purchaser in the house and I have full access to even his latest purchases.
    Upon buying a new machine, 1.66GHz duo core mini we seem to have lost this ability. If I make an alias now, when I launch itunes it says cannot find the folder itunes, it seems to now know its a folder it must find and not an alias to one. I have read ideas about sharing and fast user switching, not really the solution I am looking for or used to have. I think many couples find themselves in a similar situation. Seems silly that we now have to be logged in one side to play/stream music in the house and make sure we are logged into the other side whenever we connect the digital camera.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
