Switching home sharing between one apple ID and another

If I turn off home sharing with one apple id, will I lose all the music linked to it in my itunes library?

but I would like to be able to dowload content to the Ipad as well.
I'm afraid that you can't sync content to an iOS device via Home Sharing (you can only stream it to an iOS device via Home Sharing).

How do I actually use home sharing between my apple computer and apple tv?

I have current updates, have set up the computer and Itunes to share the music. I have the library and get to the point where I can select a song and it shows me how long it will play with a cursor. I cannot get the cursor to start the playing. Should the computer be on or off and should I try to play the song I want by using the computer some how.
Hope I have confused u enough.

You can set up "iCloud" on all of them and select there to sync your Documents. You must be running Mountain Lion on the MBA and iOS 6 on the iPhone and iPad in order to use iCloud:

HT4527 I tried home sharing between my desk top and my lap top. My desk top is the original computer with my iTunes library. On my lap top I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes. Is this all I should see? Not my entire library?

I have tried to install home sharing between my desk top and lap top. I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes on my lap top. Is this normal? I thought I would be able to see my entire library.

Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

Home Sharing between 2 Apple ID accounts on separate PCs...can our iOS devices access both?

Hi All
Hope someone can help. My wife and I have separate iTunes accounts with separate Apple IDs on separate PCs.
We both have HomeSharing turned on and can access each others music libraries from both PCs which is great. However when I try to access the home shared libraries from our devices (I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2, and my wife has an iPhone 5) when connected to the home network I can only see my own shared library on my devices and my wife can only see her own shared Library from her iPhone 5.
Just for background we are both running the latest iTunes and are on win7 PCs, my iPhone 4 is on iOS7, the iPad 2 and iPhone 5 are currently running iOS6
Is there a way to see each others shared libraries on all our devices when we connect to the home network through wifi?
Many thanks!
Chris

Hello Chris G Shirley,
In order to do this, you would need to switch between the two Apple IDs used on each system in Settings > Music.
On iPhone, go to Settings > Music, then log in to Home Sharing using the same Apple ID and password.

Ipad makes network/home sharing available for Apple TV2 and iphone

I've always had issues using home sharing on my Apple TV2; it would often tell me i needed to turn on home sharing on my desktop even though it was on. Ususally restting the router and restarting iTunes would resolve the issue. I would have to do this everytime i tried to play something on my Apple TV2 from my desktop. THen i got an iPad 1 and it could find the shared folder instantly, when it would find it, it would all of a sudden make the Apple TV2 find my desktop (sometimes the Appl TV2 would hang there for 15 minutes searching for the desktop, i would go to videos on the iPad, and then "bang" the Apple TV would work). I just got an iphone 3gs and upgraded to iOS 6 (had the following issue with iOS 5, too) and when i go to the video app it is blank and says there are no videos on my iphone with a button for the store at the bottom. One time i hit the header reading "Videos" at the top and all of a sudden it listed which libraries i wanted to access, iPhone or Shared. Couldn't get that to happen again until just now i started the trusty old iPad and pointed it to the shared folder and all of a sudden my iPhone showed me the shared location again. Is there a way to access the home sharing network consistently without having to bot up the iPad everytime, especially on tyhe iPhone where there isnt a real location for doing this as far a I can tell. Everyone always refers to the old "iPod" app before they switched it to "Music" and would say you go to "More" and selected "Shared" but those options arent avaiable anymore. Thanks.

Follow up: It appears to have been caused by the Bose system. We have multiple areas that can be controlled by the Bose console. Playing another area (outdoor speakers) via one source (satellite) was interfering with playing the Apple TV in the den on the television. Apparently.

I cannot log on to ITunes to set up Home sharing between my new IPAD and AppleTV. Therfe is not even the typical home screen for me to log on to my account at APlle Store or ITunes?

I have a new IPAD and just bought APple TV. Need to set up home sharing on my account and have followed Support options wherein you log into ITunes, choose advanced, then allow Home sharing. There is no place to even sign in to ITunes as i have always seen before. Cannot start ITunes on Laptop (linked to IPAD) at all but can from Browser. Trying to share content from my IPAD and APple TV.
I had no problem doing so on my home PC and APple TV but not IPAD?

WHat happens?
Have your tried removing and reinstalling iTunes?

What does "can from browser" mean?
Trying to share content from my IPAD and APple TV.
You don't share content from AppleTV (as it contains no content) and you can AirpPlay from iPad to AppleTV, not share content.
To turn on Home Sharing on the iPad, Settings > Store.
THis allow soyu to view the content of the iTune slibrary on your comnoputer.

Home Sharing between two Apple ID's

I set up my Itunes account when I purchased my Ipod. Then my husband set up a separate account when he purchased our Ipad. I have downloaded some music on my account using my computer, but I would like to be able to dowload content to the Ipad as well. I have been trying to understand the whole concept of homesharing but feel totally lost. I know I have to pick one ID and use it for my purchases, but how do I get that content on to our Ipad using my ID. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

but I would like to be able to dowload content to the Ipad as well.
I'm afraid that you can't sync content to an iOS device via Home Sharing (you can only stream it to an iOS device via Home Sharing).

Home sharing between windows 7 laptop and iPad not working

I have looked everywhere for an answer but haven't been able to come up with a solution yet.
So my problem is that I had to get my Samsung laptop (Win7) rebooted after a virus. Before doing so, I connected by iPad by USB to transfer my music. I couldn't use home sharing because my Win7 laptop was infected with a virus that wouldn't let me access the internet.
After the reboot, I connected home sharing to try and retrieve my music on my main computer.
I am very familiar with home sharing and have used it previously with other computers.
My iPad recognizes my laptop and I am able to access the library through my iPad; but on my laptop, the ipad doesn't show up on home sharing.
I cannot transfer back my music via USB either, it treats it like an iPod and won't let me put it back.
I have restarted EVERYTHING, restarted both devices, and relogged in - and no luck.
My laptop is my main computer and I'm dying to get my music back on it!
Does anyone have any solution to this problem?
Especially if I don't have to download something

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It isn't homesharing that allows iTunes on your PC to see your iPad when connected. You will likely get better answers to your questions in the iTunes for windows community.

Home sharing between 2 Apple IDs

My wife has her library on her Macbook Air & recently purchased an album from iTunes that I'd like also. My library is on my MBP & we both have our own Apple IDs. Is it possible for her to share this album with me?

That depends on what you have used her new ID for.
If you've used it for iCloud she can now keep her mail, contacts etc private, but if you keep using the same ID as she has done previously for iTunes and homesharing, your music, apps etc can still be used by both of you.

How do I switch my iphone 4s from one apple id to another apple id?

How can I switch my phone from one Apple ID to another Apple ID and keep all my apps/information?
I want to use the same ID between my ipod and iphone.
Is this possible?

I'm assuming each device uses its own icloud account and you want them both to use the same account, but not lose data from the device you will do the switch on. If this is the case you need to copy the data from the "old" account to the other account ....
When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.
When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.
After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account.
Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc. Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there. These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
NOTE: Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account. It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch.

HT3819 Home Share between different apple accounts?

We have one computer, iPads, and iPhones some with separate accounts. How might you go about home sharing between, say an iPad and computer? And it isn't clear if you can home share between different accounts.

Continuity only works with devices signed into the same iCloud account. It won't work across different accounts. There's more information on this here: Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity.

Are you sure that if I use my windows log in rather than my husbands, then open itunes it won't delete all his hundreds of songs and overwrite with mine?
I want to maintain my own apple ID login and he wants his but without losing his songs.....
how do i transfer the content of my itunes including apps and songs to the new computer. There doesn't seem to be an easy explanation on here. Do I just plug my iPhone in and it will all transfer?
