Use Same songs from other Apple laptop account

My mom and dad use a macbook pro for there computer. They both have individual accounts. But my father has some music on his that my mom wants. Instead of putting the same music on both accounts is there a way too use the music from his account on hers?

While we can have multiple authorizations, under version 7.0.1 we can't play songs or videos from one account when the other is logged in. In prior versions of iTunes it didn't matter. Plus we can't seem to play songs or videos from more than one account on our iPods, Nano, or Shuffle
We have two accounts, one for US purchases and one for French purchases. But I can also see unmarried couples with one computer having separate accounts and so on. So this is a big issue that should not have occured. It doesn't make sense to have one "household" account for all purchases vs. individual accounts with shared access from one computer.
I'd really like to see a resolution to this issue.

    Can anyone assist me with this issue?

    To downgrade, you'll need to download the previous software version here: ATV3 http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    ATV2: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    Next, plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
    After that, hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
    It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.
    I recently ran into a similar issue with a bunch of these things and after restoring them all to the previous software version they are working again.

  • TS3988 Help - How do I manage to remove an IOS device, in this case an IPhone 4S, from my Apple ID account? I want to use this account only for my IPAD

    Hi,
    I have managed to initially set up our two IOS devices - my wifes IPhone 4S and my IPAD 2 - in a not so smart way.
    I used the same Apple ID account for both devices.
    As such it worked, however after a few days we decided to have two different Apple ID accounts, one for each device.
    I made a new Apple ID account for my wifes Iphone, and kept the old account for my IPAD.
    This is as well working now with both these accounts, however I have found out that my wifes IPhone is still registered under my account.
    This I will like to have rectified and cleared, i.e. I want my wife's phone cleared from my Apple ID account, so that my Apple ID account only contain information related to my IPAD 2.
    My wife's Apple ID account for her IPhone 4S works fine and we do not need to change anything for this account.
    However, how can I clear/edit my own account, so that it only contain information about my IPAD?
    For example, when I use the Apps "Find My Iphone" I can see that the system is trying to locate both my IPAD and my wife's IPhone 4S, when I have logged on with my Apple ID account no. This show that one way or the other both devices are registered under my Apple ID account.
    I will appreciate some assistance to tell how to rectify this matter,
    Regards,
    Morten

  • HT1420 how do i move a purchased song from one apple account to another

    how do i move a purchased song from one apple account to another

    The short answer is that you can't.  Purchases are tied to the AppleID used to buy them.  AppleID's cannot be merged, and the content cannot be transferred.

  • HT201303 how can i get songs downloaded from other apple products on my shared apple id on to my ipod nano?

    how can i get songs downloaded from other apple products on my shared apple id on to my ipod nano? my daughter just got a new ipod nano for her birthday and we redeemed the shared apple account our family uses and when we went to go buy music it says we need to redeem another card for us to buy the music so i was wondering if i could just let my older daughter download the music onto her phone via itunes app and see if that music would go on my younger daughter's ipod nano but i am looking on the itunes and i don't see an option for that for ipod nanos. thanks so much.

    You should always make sure that you put all of your music on your computer.  From there you can sync it to whatever device you like

  • How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing?

    How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing. The program seems to be picking up the same songs from, for example, my user area and my public area in the C drive

    As above, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library, however it is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve/merge ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

  • Add new email from previous Apple ID account

    Dear Apple,
    I would like to associate my email address with another account but it keeps telling me I'm already associated with another account. I have deleted the email address in question from all Apple ID accounts but it still won't work. Please assist.
    Kind regards
    Dwayne

    You can't get the apps back. You can never transfer them to your account. He bought the apps with his ID and they never really belonged to you. That is not how the terms of the iTunes/App Store/iBookstore work. Purchases are tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
    If you sign into his ID on your iPad, in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID - you will be able to download them again at no charge since you are using his ID. But ... You will lock yourself out of your own ID for 90 days.
