What does "Shared" mean in itunes

I see the "shared'' in my itunes with the libraries of others around me. When i click on 1 of libraries it just shows me what
another person had in their iTunes. Is another purpose to this that I'm not getting??

This means that the person has enabled Home Sharing on their iTunes. People usually use Home Sharing to transfer their purchases from one iTunes library to another computer's iTunes library. Just disregard it if it's not yours.

  • What does it mean on itunes when it says a movie will not be available on the cloud after purchase?

    what does it mean on itunes when it says a movie will not be available on the cloud after purchase?

    It means that you get only one download of the movie per purchase, so once it's downloaded, you'd be wise to make a backup. Otherwise, if something happens to delete the movie, you'll have to buy it again.

  • What does SHARED mean in FINDER

    What does SHARED mean in Finder ?

    Where are you seeing "Shared" in the Finder?
    Are you referring to the section in the Sidebar of the Finder window?
    That section will show you files on connected servers and "Public" folders of other users on other connected Macs. You can make your own "Public" folder visible in this way by enabling "File Sharing"  in the "System Preferences > Sharing" panel.

  • What does it mean when itunes requires 10.6.8?

    what does it mean when itunes requires 10.6.8?
    I accidently deleted my friend's itunes and it will not let me download it

    If the computer is running Mac OS X 10.5.8, you cannot install the most recent version of iTunes. You will have to download iTunes 10.6.3, the last version that will run on a Mac OS X 10.5.8 system:

    To reinstall Microsoft Word, you will need to use the installer disk for Microsoft Office. To reinstall PhotoBooth, you would need to reinstall Mac OS X itself.
    I presume you looked in the Trash on the computer, though, to see if the things you believe you deleted are perhaps still there? If they are, just drag them back to the Applications folder.
    Regards.

  • Red circle with red square inside- what does it mean in iTunes next to songs?

    I can't play songs on iTunes that have a red circle with a small red square inside it. What does the symbol mean and how do I get rid of it. I have one iPad 2, one iPhone 5 and one ip[hone 6 plus bit only one iTunes account and one computer where all the songs are stored. The same song will play on the phones but not the iPad!! I really don't want to keep upgrading the software cos really it just creates more problems!!

    ! = iTunes cannot find the file that contains the media associated with the entry in the iTunes database.  iTunes itself does not contain your music, it just uses a reference to play a file on your computer.  Something happened to break that link.  Many reasons. Your computer may be having directory problems (directory = computer's database of what files it thinks are on the drive).  You may have renamed a folder or file  or moved a folder or file related to iTunes.
    When you try to play the file iTunes will ask you if you want to associate a file with that entry.  You can answer yes and look for the file that you think it should play.  If the file is truly missing then you have bigger worries because who knows what else could be missing - the whole reason for computer backups and periodic maintenance.

  • What does ! mean in itunes library listing?

    I have updated my itunes version and really messed things up. All of my itunes songs have an exclamation mark in front of them and when I click on the song an error messages advises that the song cannot be found. However the song does indeed exist and can be played from windows explorer by clicking on it, at which time itunes pops up as the default media player and removes the exclamation mark. It also makes a duplicate listing of the song.

    It means that iTunes doesn't know wer the file has gone, it mite have moved or been deleted, so basically it's tellin u that it doesnt know wer it is. You can add all your songs agen to the library or tell iTunes where the file is.

  • HT1660 what does this mean: "the itunes library file cannot be saved.  you do not have enough access privileges for this operation"

    HELP PLEASE!  What does "The itunes library file cannot be saved.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."

    Hi, DickmoAZ.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder.  Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue.

  • What does this mean when iTUNES says this...

    "Songs on the iPOD cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist."

    When the iTunes library is larger than the iPod, iTunes creates a playlist at random that fits.
    You deleted this playlist.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.
    Click the Music tab.
    Select the playlists you want on the iPod.
