User account with sharing permissions to home iTunes library but I cannot add music to playlist created

I have created a new user account on my iMac and set up itunes which will allow me to see and play music from my "home" or main user's library.  I wanted to create a new playlist in the new user side however itunes is not allowing me to add music to this playlist.  I am getting the following message:
There was a problem downloading "Song Name".  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.  Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
How can I correct this problem?

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

    You can only sync with one ITunes library. It you switch iTunes library iTunes will erase the iPod and replace it contents with what is in the library of the new computer.

  • I have over 2000 tunes in my ITunes library but I cannot use them because their original files cannot be found. What can I do to correct this ?

    I have over 2000 tunes in my ITunes library but I cannot use most of them because their "Original files" cannot be found. What can I do to correct this ?

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

  • I've created new User account on my PC for separate itunes library/account. Have had to change apple id to do this. When I connect to pc, itunes opens with CDs I've already loaded, but it doesn't recognise ipod. No left panel opens with devices. Help!

    Can anyone help? Two ipods with originally one itunes library and (I think) same Apple id). Now need 2 Libraries with separate account for separate buying etc. Recommended I create new library on separate PC User account which I have done together with new apple id. I have added this apple id to the ipod needing separate account. When I hook up, I can't sync. No 'Devices' left panel appears at all. I'm at a loss here so any help woudl be great. Thanks.

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    If necessary:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • Dealing with Shared Libraries after moving iTunes library to new Computer

    I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch) with 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory. Previously, I had my iTunes on a Dell PC computer. Using an external hard drive, I transferred my iTunes library over to the Mac. After trying to sync my iPhone 4 (iOS 7.1.2), I discovered that I wasn't able to sync my music. In my attempt to fix this, I tried several things. I actually purchased iTunes Match, hoping that this would somehow fix this problem, but it didn't work. I tried restoring my iPhone to factory settings after completely a backup. Again, this did not work. I have tried to delete my library and add it back following the specific instructions found on the Apple Support site (How to move your iTunes library to a new computer  - Apple Support).
    When my iPhone is plugged in and I click under iPhone settings Music, the only option I have to work with is iTunes Match is On and syncing voice memos. There is not the option to sync music library.
    I feel that somehow I have created multiple libraries or messed smoothing up because I can't even transfer music on to my iPhone manually. It's like my iPhone won't recognize the library on my iTunes. I am using the 12.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
    Then launch iTunes.
    This is all you need to do.
    You do not need to add anything or import anything to iTunes.
    When you have iTunes Match turned on, you do not sync music via the computer or iTunes.
    You sync via iTunes Match.

  • If my iPhone is set up with a different apple ID than my itunes library, how do I add music onto my phone?

    I recently got an iPhone 4, and I set up an Apple ID of my own. I would like to put music on my phone, but all of my music is under another Apple ID and it won't let me add music from that account onto my phone. How do I add the music I would like?

    '...but all of my music is under another Apple ID ...'
    This is the confusing part from your Original Post...
    Please state Exactly who this Music you are trying to Sync belongs to.
    If it does Not belong to you... Then Yes you will need to Purchase it.

  • Multiple user accounts, multiple Ipods, One computer, One Itunes library

    Here's my problem, I have my main music library on my Mac Mini (Intel 1.5 solo) its too big to fit on the hard drive with everything else, so I added a Mini pal drive. This has my music, photos and all the other junk I cant fit on the mini's hard drive. I want to create multiple accounts so my kids can each have their own, but we all have Ipods that we want connected to our own accounts. I want to keep all the music in one library, and share it accross all the accounts. I dont want to have to log on when my kids want a song from my library. Itunes dosent seam to like the library being on the seperate drive. Mabe I am just dooing something wrong.
    Ps: I'm running Itunes 7.3 on all my machines

    Apple really doesn't quite do multi-user well yet, at least as far as the iPod goes (IMHO.)
    We've taken your approach. 3 users with iTunes for each pointing to a single library on an external storage device. That way there's no problem with having to go to other libraries to import (and not question about 'copying files'... big waste of space.)
    Our problem is having multiple iPods plugged into the same machine. I'm about to buy one of the new models for wife and daughter, but I'm not sure how we all can be plugged in (as I'm sure will happen.)
    Right now, when I plug in just my own Nano, it appears in iTunes for each of the other users. In fact I sometimes can't even eject because iTunes for another user thinks the iPod its attached to it.
    To expand this thread, anyone have pointers on use of multiple iPods on the same machine with multiple users? The existing links to Apple support articles are not relevant.

  • Sharing a single, networked itunes library?

    hello --
    to make a long story short, i might have to buy a mac mini (frequent flyer points about to expire, might as well use them) and i'd like to use my unraid nas to store my itunes library instead of loading up the mini's hard drive. the mac would be placed in the music room, feeding my hi-fi rig's dac via a 25' fibre optic cable, with amarra / pure music / whatever dishing out high-res music.
    up to now, there's nothing special. others have done it, surely.
    but here's the twist. my itunes library is currently located on a windows box. since a recent scare (mother of all bsod, a few music files got corrupted), i've been thinking about storing all of my music on more robust storage. in this case, my nas (unraid v4.5.6, fwiw).
    the nas would only provide "dumb" storage, it would not be an itunes server.
    the actual twist is that i'd like to have this one library shared by two different boxes: one windows, one a mac. what i have read up until now is not encouraging. two macs or two pcs should be ok sharing a network-stored itunes library, but a mac and a pc do not look as if they would "play nice". but who knows, maybe it can be made to work.
    anyone else done this? am i alone with such a crazy idea?
    thanks in advance.

    Dear Jolly,
    Do you know if either program will allow you to direct where each individual "library" is located so I can spread them among different drives?
    i believe both can, at least PowerTunes offers that feature -> http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/powertunes/Help/creating%20a%20new%20library.html
    Also, can you generate the new libraries in the new locations by selecting playlists or large groups of files to from the master library?

  • ITunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created! What to do?

    After downloading the latest iTunes version 7.4, I cannot access the program anymore nor open any of my music files. Each time I try, I receive a persistent message saying that the "iTunes Library.itl file cannot not be found or created".
    Can someone please advise me what to do?
    Many thanks,
    Guido
    E-mail: [email protected]

    Hi Guido - I saw in the other post that you tried using the old library file and it didn't work. I think from what you described you do still have the .itl file - the icon on mine is the itunes logo (disc w/ blue music notes) with the word 'DATA' below that, and it's named 'itunes library.' If you just see little icons it will be the blue music notes on a little piece of paper with the same title. Then when you right-click and go to 'properties' it says the type of file is 'iTunes Music Database File.'
    When you renamed the old library file, did you add the .itl at the end? If you did, try erasing the .itl part and just leaving it named as 'itunes library' and try opening itunes again. If you didn't add the .itl at the end, try adding it and see if it will open.
    Also try the other suggestion above and see if you can open that file and/or the file in the 'previous itunes library' folder.
    Another option of you still can't get it to work is to just move that database file out of the itunes folder onto your desktop, then try opening itunes again and see if it will at least open. Again, leave the 'itunes music library' file (the .xml one) in the itunes folder (by the way, the icon for that looks like a piece of paper with a little ball or globe between these: < and >)
    If itunes opens and your music files show up, cool! If it opens and you don't see your music files, try going to File>Import... and try to import the 'itunes music library' file. Just be aware that if you have a lot of music it will take awhile; don't hit 'stop' but let it do it's thing.
    Let us know if you got it to work or not - there may still be other things to try.

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • New iMac 21.5". How can I set up a new user account with access to all the files of the original user account?

    Running Mavericks on a 2013 iMac 21.5". I want to set up a second user account with different settings that meet the requirements of specific software. I need the files to be accessible by both users. I have made both the main and secondary accounts administrators. I have also enabled file sharing for both. Neither account can see the other's files in Finder.
    How can I make all files accessible to both accounts? I read that administrator accounts automatically can see all files on the computer, but it is not working out that way. I have restarted the computer, to no avail.

    Comcast only offers POP accounts, and one way to set up the account and enter all the settings before it connects to the mail server, might be to do it Offline:
