Why can't I share songs I bought with my husband?

I use to be able to buy a song from iTunes and my husband would be able to take it from my library and listen to it or put it on his iPhone, iPod ect...but now we can't share music only listen to it in the library. Why???  Shouldn't have to buy a song twice if we are in the same household.

  • Why can't I share a Quicken file with another user on my mac?

    I have a new mac. Used to have a pc  with ms money. it was set so that both my wife and I could open Money and work on the same file (our checkbook).
    I get a "can't open file....no permission" message from Quicken if I try to open from my wife's login.
    I have the file in the Shared folder and I manually went into File Sharing and set her up to read& write on that folder and file but I still get "no permission"
    There has to be a way for 2 people to work on the same file, yes?

    I found the answer on the Quicken Support site. Unbelievable!!!!

    Unable to Share a Data File Between Multiple Users on the Same System
    Cause The Quicken Essentials data is a data package that contains multiple files.  Each item in the package has permission set based on the current users profile.  When the Package is moved to a shared folder, the permission in the data package are not changed, therefore cannot be accessed by another user.
    You can change the permissions for each individual file within the data package to be accessed by other users.  However, the first user who opens the file after the permissions have been changed, will take ownership of the data package, and it will no longer be accessible by the other party again.
    SolutionThis issue is currently a product limitation and is expected to be resolved in a future version of Quicken Essentials for Mac.

  • Can't play the songs I bought from iStore

    I can't play the songs I bought from iStore.
    It complain about the autorization, but how much I try it seems like I can't get this computer to get authorized.
    I login to iStore with my only login account, buy the song, and it gets downloaded. Then when I try to play the song, I asks me again about the authorization. I use the same accout login, and it reply that this computer is now authorized... again. But the songs stil can't be played.
    If I click again on the song the same loop above repeats itself.
    Frustrastion = I can't play the songs I have bought.
    Anyone?
    M.

    I, also, have that authorization nonsense (I am the administrator, and only user of the computer). But, still, I cannot make any changes. You will have to report to someone at iTunes, if you try to play the downloaded songs from iTunes.
    Which version, has it always been that way?
    Also, did you change your username/password, if things were working fine, at one time?
    I had your problem when I, originally, signed up with my AOL address. When I quite AOL, I got an Apple id, and I could not access my songs from AOL days for over three months. Eventually, someone at Apple helped me.

  • Why can't i sync songs from other sources in my library into my iPhone?

    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

  • Why can't I share my project? None of the options in the share dropdown menu is available.

    why can't I share my project? None of the options in the share dropdown menu is available.

    Your project is already saved in an iMovie Library on your hard drive. Re-installing iMovie will not affect your project or event files.
    To reinstall iMovie, just drag the iMovie application from the Applications folder to the trash.
    Reboot your Mac.
    Go to the Mac App Store and look under Purchases for iMovie and click Install.
    You cannot edit your iMovie 10 project in iMovie 9.
    iMovie 10 is so stripped down that one really needs to either go back to 9 or, if they can afford it, move up to Final Cut Pro X. If you're strapped for cash at the moment, you can download a trial version of the new Final Cut Pro X 10.1 and get 30 days of free usage out of it, even if you've already been using a free trial of 10.0.9.

  • Why can't I share my iCal diary anymore with my work colleagues? I used to be able to send a link so the calendar could be viewed in any browser be it PC or Mac platform??

    Why can't I share my iCal diary anymore with my work colleagues? I used to be able to send a link so the calendar could be viewed in any browser be it PC or Mac platform??

    Ordinary webspace won't do - what you get is a text file: this is the problem - MobileMe took the file published by iCal and formatted it as a calendar. Presumably if you were running your own server as indicated in the help page it would do the same; but unless 1&1 can speficially provide you with a CalDAV server it's not going to work.
    Do your colleagues have Macs? For those who do, they can subscribed to a shared calendar in iCal and it couldn't be simpler. Presumably Windows owners could do the same thing in a suitable calendar program; and this is a lot simpler solution.
    Another route: according to this site:
    http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/publish-ical-calendars-mobileme-os-server-mac/
    box.net can do this for you. I seem to remember that this arose a while back, but I have a feeling that the poster then couldn't get it to work. I can't advise on that, but you might want to investigate it as an option.

  • Why can't I sort songs with !'s next to titles??

    Why can't I sort songs with !'s next to titles (meaning these songs don't exist in Library but actually do)? I really don't want to scroll through 5,000 titles to remove these items.

    Hi mitzlet,
    When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

  • Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option

    Why can't i delete songs from older i-pod touch, delete feature greyed out and right click or holding control and clicking do not offer delete option in I-tunes. I've tried using both a Mac Book and PC with newer and older versions of I-tunes.

    It sounds like you are try to delete the songs by connecting the iPod to other than the computer from which the songs were synced. You can only delete songs synced to an an older iPod (pre iOS 5) by connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and unsync them.
    If you want to change syncing computers see:

    Why can I not share/email my iPhotos on my iMac? My email account is working fine, yet it will not send. HELP please!!

    Because you have a problem you need to fix - no mind readers here - exactly whyat happens? Why can't you e-mail photos? How are you doing it? What e-mail client are you using?
    The general answer for iPhoto '11 is
    in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
    OR
    IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

    I am guessing you are using an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. This is the forum for MacBooks, the computer, so the mail works differently.
    You will want to ask your question in the correct forum.
