  • How do you import all songs from a shared library?

    I have 862 songs in my iTunes library on the family computer, and i would like to transfer them to my iTunes on my laptop. I already have home sharing on, and I can see the shared library on the iTunes on my laptop, but is there a way i can transfer all the songs from the shared library to the iTunes on my laptop without having to import each song on its own? Thank you in advance.

    what you want to see in iTunes is this (view from my iMac's iTunes seeing the library on my Mini)
    once the homeshared library has loaded, two buttons will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes window, being settings and import.
    now you should be able to import any content from any shared library by selecting (highlighting) it and clicking the import button.
    via settings, you can select which newly purchased content is transferred automatically to homeshared libraries

  • HT2688 How can I "click and drag" songs from one shared library to another?

    I have home sharing activated on my mom's computer and mine and before the newest version of itunes, we were able to click and drag songs from one users' library into the other. We are not able to do that now and I wanted to know if there was a way to do this in the newest version of itunes.

    I am using a Windows computer first off, not sure if that makes a difference,  When you say "click import" where is import.  I can not find anything that says "import" to click.

  • Can't import songs from Home Share library

    Hello,
    According to "Tunes Mac 9.0 Help - Sharing your iTunes library across computers," I should be able...
    "- To import items from another computer, select the computer (below Shared), and drag items from its library to yours.
    - To automatically import iTunes Store items that are downloaded to a computer you’re Home Sharing with, select “Automatically import new purchases from [Computer Name].”
    However, despite the fact that I performed all the right steps, and both computers see each other shared libraries, I can not drag items from one library to another, nor can I find where to select "Automatically import new purchases..."
    The second computer is a Windows 7, hopefully this is not the problem.
    Help! Massive searches did not bring more info.
    Thanks,
    -Dima

    I just noticed this problem for the first time today. I've never had trouble dragging and dropping items from my home shared libraries. Today - no way. For context, when I first accessed the shared library (on my PC) today from my Mac, there was the usual, togglable (entire library or just those not already on the importing computer) "import library" button at the bottom of the pane. But after I toggled to "not on my computer" (or whatever the option is called) and dragged a few new ones to the my Mac, I got a message saying "no can do, home sharing needs to be activated." This apparently was a casualty of a hard drive restoration yesterday, so I reactivated home sharing, and that's when the current problem reared its ugly head, both on my Mac and on my PC.

    How do I share a song from my library to a shared library?

    Ok looks like you can click add to, but I stand by the charge that this is a major step backwards because now I can't see what's in my ipod playlists while adding songs.

  • Can't import songs from iTunes

    I want to import songs from my iTunes library. When I click on the audio button, I can see my library of songs but I can't click and import them. I can drag the photo to desktop and then into iMovie but that feels like Windows.
    I am having similar issues when importing music for slideshows in iPhoto. Maybe it's an iTunes issue?
    Any sugestions?

    I have a similar problem ..but I know what it is . ( the original post here is very old )
    The tracks were deleted .. but the playlist in iMovie never updated to the new playlist.
    I can NOT figure out how to manually update the playlist to reflet the real iTunes library.
    Anybody know?

  • Inheriting windows from a shared library

    Hi,
    Does anyone know whether in rel 2D of Forte' there is a run time bug when
    you instantiate a window class which inherits from a window class that has
    been put into a shared library ?
    When we try to do this we always get the error:
    USER ERROR: Attempt to build a run-time class failed. The project
    'MySharedLibrary' does not have a class with id 0xbd.

I tried it, but using a shared library on another mac on my home network, and I could not drag any song from the shared library to my Music folder (the top item in the left panel of iTunes).
    Anyone have any thought on this?
    There are two kinds of sharing in iTunes.
    The one that has been there forever is "regular sharing," which allows you to look at and listen to the libraries of other iTunes users on the same network. This is the "read only" one you describe.
    iTunes Home Sharing is new in the last 1 or 2 releases. Home Sharing allows you to copy files across, and is possibly what your friend is using. Unlike regular sharing, Home Sharing only works on computers that are authorized to the same account. More information is here: iTunes: Understanding Home Sharing.

    iOS 6 (which runs on the iPhone 5) requires iTunes 10.7, which requires OS X 10.6.8 or higher.
    Upgrade OS X on your Mac.
