Sharing iMail Accounts Between Multiple Computers

I have a Macbook Pro and an iMac and would like to know how to share the iMail account information between them so I do not have to setup the accounts from scratch. Does anyone know how to do this? Any help would be appreciated.

You need to have all the music stored in a shared folder.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
If you move all the files around with Win Explorer, itunes will lose the paths to the files. It might be best to move everything to the shared folder and have them start over with a blank library (new ratings, playcounts)
The last lines in that article state
+When another user of the computer has imported new music from CD, repeat steps 6 through 8 to add the music to your library.+
You might want to use a little program like "itunes folder watch" to do it automatically for you.

    Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

    You will need to find a third party solution for online storage in order to share things like photos with others. Some popular solutions to this are dropbox and sugarsync.
    You cannot sync non-iCloud email accounts across your iOS devices and computers unless they are IMAP accounts like iCloud. If they are IMAP accounts, you will do it in the same way as you have always done.

  • How can I sync my purchased audiobooks between multiple computers?

    How can I sync my purchased audiobooks between multiple computers? The new iCloud feature seems to make it possible to sync all my other content (purchased from iTunes) but there is no way/option for audiobooks. Any clues?

    Copy them to a disk/hard drive/flash drive/etc, then copy it to the other computer.

    What do you mean access?
    You can certainly sign into your account from any computer with itunes.
    Your content will only be where you put it.  You can put it/copy it wherever you like.
    In some countries you can redownload some itunes purchased content:

  • Question/Problem Sharing iTunes Library between multiple users

    Hello all,
    I have a question (potential problem) regarding sharing an iTunes Library between multiple users.
    In the past, I had placed the iTunes folder in /Users/Shared, and created an alias to it in the "Music" folder of each user, and it worked fine.  However, with a recent upgrade to Mac OS 10.5, only the Home user account can access the library. 
    I read the Apple Support Document http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203 uner Mac OS X which specifically states *not* to move the iTunes folder, just the iTunes Media folder (which I don't have, would that be iTunes Music?).
    Any recommendations?  Should I delete the different alias, move the iTunes folder back to the home user, and then follow the instructions in the support document?
    We're also looking to sync music purchsed on our iPod touches, as well as apps (which weren't supported in our privous Mac OS X version.
    Any advice is appreiciated.

    yes.
    specifically states *not* to move the iTunes folder
    *do* keep the entire iTunes folder in /users/shared, however, instead of creating aliases, launch iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, click choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder in /users/shared.
    obviously, only one iTunes at a time can access the library !

  • Syncing devices to multiple iTunes accounts on multiple computers.

    I have 3 computers in my house, 2 belong to my sister, 1 is mine. Mine is very old and failing so I am probably going to get a new one. Before I do that I would like to preform a complete system restore, I hear that sometimes helps fix the bugs computers accumulate as they age. The problem is I've never done this before and I worry that I might loose valuable information. I keep everything I own on a 500GB external harddrive, so the only things that are really at risk are my Google Chrome bookmarks and my iTunes Library. Everything else I can just recover from the E-HD, but those two... I am still not sure how I can back them up. For this thread I will focus specifically on my iTunes Library though, and leave the Chrome dilema for another day (and another discussion forum).
    I figured that if my old comp does go belly up I could always sync my stuff to one of my sister's computers. She mainly uses her laptop and she has told me I could use her tower to sync my iPod Touch and my iPad if I need to. I would be able to use her tower at least until I get myself a new one.
    I've found several guides on how to backup the iTunes Library and metadata, and I have tried to do so. I transfer my songs and the backed up library onto a flash drive and then plug them into the new computer (my sister's comp). I drag and drop it onto the desktop, and then plug in the Touch. Oh yea, I feel I should mention something here, I'm going to try and preform a transfer of the iTouche's data first, then continue with my iPad depending on how that goes. My iPad has become my agenda, I use it for everything. And accidentally loosing all my contact/agenda info because of a botched attempt at backing up it's library is NOT an option.
    So yea... I try first with the touch.
    All the files are there, but when I logged into iTunes he still asked me "You need to reset this device to it's factory parameters before you can sync into this computer." Basically he needs to nuke everything on it so I can't be synced on two computers at once...
    I declined the sync and tried to load up the Library I had brought over from my old comp. Problem is... he doesn't offer any option of importing a Library, in the usual spot there's only an option for exporting. Which is idiotic because this iTunes has nothing in it, it's a blank slate.
    Then I tried something else, not sure what prompted it, I went on the iTunes store and downloaded a free App. And he was able to put it on the Touch... he asked me for my iTunes account info and password, and then he seemed to indicate my Touch was synced on both computers (and that I had a total of 5 computers I could sync to). The Library still hadn't transfered, since the iTunes on this comp still had no songs, but my Touch still had all 250 songs. So it didn't get wiped...
    Basically my question is this. Can my devices (a 2G iPod Touch and a WiFi only 64GB iPad) be synced up to multiple computers, with my main library placed on each of these computers.
    And if so, can these Libraries be continually updated with regards to one another through the internet (or at least through my home network). By this I mean, if I make a purchase on one of them, will the other Libraries be updated and get this purchase.

    What if that 500Gb drive fails? You need at least two copies on different drives of anything that matters, one just isn't enough.
    I use SyncToy 2.1 (free) to keep my backup copies of my iTunes library and other important folders up-to-date. If there's room for the library on the internal then a single external backup is fine, but if your external holds the only copy then you should look to getting a second external drive as backup.

  • Sharing aperture library between two computers in same house

    How do I go about sharing the same library between two computers in the same house? I would like to take some or all photos around with me on my laptop and be able to have them also at home for use by my family. Will I have trouble with changes and keeping things in sync? Would I locate the library on a portable drive on our home network? Thanks,
    Todd

    cut and dry ???
    are you wanting to constantly move the external around from machine to machine ??? or are you looking for simultaneous access ???
    if you had a library on an external and moved it between computers, it could work ... just be careful to always have the external connected before starting aperture, else it will create a new null library for you ...
    you could have db issues if you tried to have two people access it at once ... i dont believe that the aperture db could handle multi access at once ... not robust enough ... no locking of records, etc ...

  • How can I sync Bridge between multiple computers at work with keywords/collections/search?

    We've been trying to find a digital asset management platform at work for a while now and I recently came across Bridge (we have the Creative Cloud). It's perfect! Except we're all on a bunch of different computers and would need to be able to search the same keywords/collections all from the same server (the photos are in many different folders though). Is there a way to be able to sync all keywords etc on multiple computers? Or if someone opens Bridge and can search right away without having to make all the keywords persistent by finding each photo and clicking on it? We're all on the same Creative Cloud team.

    I actually did already create a book with all the files in it, but I couldn't figure out how that was helpful. The hyperlink panel doesn't seem to have any "book" options (unless I'm looking in the wrong place?) and just linking to the different files (after creating the book) didn't have any different results than linking to the files before I created the book.
    I thought maybe linking to the different files in the book would work if I could export the whole book to pdf at once (which would be super-helpful in and of itself), but that doesn't seem to be an option either.
    I guess what I'm asking is for you to elaborate on what to do after creating the book.
    Thanks!

  • Sharing Music Playlists between multiple Itunes ID's

    Hi there
    As I was the first member of our family to get an Ipod, the Apple & Itunes ID has always been mine. When my daughter got her Ipod, she just logged on using my apple credentials and the playlists were obviously available. With my wife and daughter now moving onto Iphones, they have set up their devices using new Apple ID's and Itunes ID's, and I just wondered if it's possible that I can still share my playlists?
    Obviously we don't want to purchase music twice etc, but all 3 of us require the unique id's for Facetime etc
    Can anyone help, I can't seem to find a solution to what I hoped was an easy question

    To copy music between two computers follow these instructions.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93063
    To copy playlists works similar:
    On Computer #A select the playlist you want to transfer
    From iTunes Menu - File select "Export Song List ..."
    Transfer the resulting xml file
    On the target computer from iTunes Menu - File select "Import" and select the above mentioned xml file

  • Sharing a library between multiple user accounts on the same PC

    I have an XP pc setup for the kids and each has their own login so they can have their own bookmarks, shortcuts, desktop, etc. They each have an iPod and use iTunes. I want them to share the same music library so that when one downloads or rips a song, It's available to each of them. Using the default installation, it is currently not working the way I want it to. Is what I'm describing possible? If so, how do I configure it?

  • Why does one tag out of four not appear for users accessing a single Thunderbird account via multiple computers?

    Four users share a single Thunderbird email account (version 24.5.0) on their four respective computers. Each user is represented by a tag color to designate which emails they are responsible for. One user is having trouble seeing when their tag is used by the other three users, the email appears untagged. However, the other three users see it as tagged. Likewise, when that one person uses the tag, the other three cannot see the email as being tagged. This is not an issue when the other three tags are used between the four people.
    We have checked that we are all using the exact same color to represent the tag, and that we are all using the same IMAP settings. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

    Are you sure the odd one out is IMAP? sounds like it is pop to me.

  • How to sync podcasts between multiple computers

    I'd like to be able to keep my podcasts in sync (last played position, downloads, subscriptions) between my home Macbook, my work Macbook, and my iPhone 5. Any suggestions of how to do so? It would seem the two computers need to share the same iTunes library database file, which could perhaps be done via Dropbox? But I don't need all my music to be shared between the two computers (and don't want the library on Dropbox).

    Actually I have tried export/import but it has not worked properly. The ict files either don't all tranfer right, one time I had duplicate events, etc. Setting up a LAN is not really an option.
    It looks like from all other information I've read that doing it through .mac it simplest, I may have to go that route. Thank you.

  • 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.
