Transfer music on macbook pro

I have a main account (JohnC) and admin rights on my macbook pro (running 10.7.5). On this macbook pro, Ive created a new user account (CharlieC) for another family member.
Is it possible for me to copy the iTunes library from JohnC account to the newly created CharlieC account?
Many thanks in advance for help with this.
JohnC

Ok
I copied everything from Music>iTunes in to 'Public'. So in the JohnC account there is a folder in 'Public' with (apparently) my iTunes Library.
Following some blurb I found on a Apple Support site I did following:
I went into the new account (CharlieC) and opened iTunes.
I clicked on Preferences then Advanced
I deselect the option to "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library file." Then clicked OK
From the File menu, I chose Add to Library
I navigated to the Public folder and found the Music folder, but it had a red circle on it and would not let me open it.
What am I doing wrong?
JohnC

    I have a new iphone 6. How do I transfer my music library from my MacBook Pro to my Iphone 6. I connected the Iphone6 to my computer and under file chose sync. That didn't do it. I recently updated to Yosemite.

    Open iTunes then login to your account and make sure the computer is authorized. Next go to the music tab and choose artists, songs or albums you want to sync. Click sync at the bottom of the page. At the top of the iTunes screen you should see the sync actions take place.

  • Unable to transfer music from MacBook Pro iTunes to iPod iTunes

    After syncing my iPod to my computer through iTunes, I have always had my music transfer over without any problems.  Yet this time, after trying to transfer all the songs from my computer to my iPod (which was just a single album), it did not work, meaning I couldn't locate the album anywhere in my iPod.  It might be because I downloaded the album on my iPhone, then synced it to my computer (which was successful), and that could be part of the problem, but I'm not sure. 

    I figured it out! Here's what I did:
    1. Hook up your iPod to your computer using an HDMI cable (the same way you would when syncing your music)
    2. In your iTunes library, locate the album that you would like to transfer, then click on it.
    3. When you see the black box open with all of the album's songs in it, you will also see a PLAY button, a SHUFFLE button, and an arrow in a circle button next to the title of the album. Click the arrow in the circle button (I don't know what else to call it)
    4. Click ADD TO, then select the device you would like to add the album to, or the playlist you would like to add it to.
    5. Your iTunes will then process the data (transfer the album) from your iTunes library to your iPod.
    HOPE THIS HELPS TO ALL THOSE IN NEED!!!

    how to transfer data from macbook pro to an external hard drive, im using (WD 1TB 3.0) ???. I cannot copy anything from my mac to it not a single file.

    ok - since you'll be sharing it with a PC - connect it to your windows pc - then format from there - instead of NTFS format - choose exFAT.
    or, you can read the link below on how to do it in dos mode.

    once you've formatted it - you can now use it in both your macbook and windows computer.

    Hi hjmdsalleh,
    You typically use iTunes to sync your content to your iPhone.
    iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
    If you are having problems syncing some videos, they may not be in the correct format.
    iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

  • I currently use iCloud on a MacBook Pro. I opened my iBook G4 that I haven't used in several years and am unable to access my MobileMe account with many stored emails that I would like to transfer to the MacBook Pro. I have tried all of the passwords.

    I currently use iCloud on a MacBook Pro. I opened my iBook G4 that hasn't been used in years. I have many email messages that i would like to transfer to the MacBook Pro, but every password I use to access MobileMe is not accepted. Any suggestions on retrieving or transferring the emails?

    MobileMe was discontinued around 2 years ago.  Anything on the MMe servers are long gone. The MMe passwords are uselsess because MMe is no more.
    Unless you created an iCloud account back before MMe was taken off line you won't be able to recover any emails.

    For transferring videos you could use 'Video Transfer App'. I'm the developer of this universal application (iPhone/iPad) that let's you transfer videos from your iPad or computer directly to another iPhone or iPad.
    The app is currently in the Top 25 iPad apps in the photography category.
    Here are couple of videos that show how the app works:
