Thread: Several users - one library
Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by monica MF
We have one itunes library were we like to keep all our music together, but as we are several users, we like to have different user accounts to enable parental control on kids and more freedom of surfing for parents. Now, when my son opens the Mac with his account, he does not find any music in iTunes. How can we share the same library between several users?...
