How do I share just one movie (not my entire library) from my itunes library with an authorized computer using home sharing?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)
Doublechecking ... are you trying to stream the movie, or transfer it to a different library?
Transfer it to another library that belongs to my 9 year old son. Some of the movies in my library are not suitable for his viewing. I s there way to select only ione movie or song from my library and share only my seections via homesharing, not my entire library?
🙂 many thanks.
That should be possible.
From his library connect to your library via Home Sharing.
Select the name of the shared library in the source pane of your itunes, and click on the wee disclosure triangle to the left of the name of the library. Does "Films" appear beneath the name of the library?
Here's a screenshot of what I mean.
Select "Films". In the right-hand pane you should see the item you want to transfer. Just select that item, and click "Import".
Use the same basic technique to get one or a few songs from your library transferred to his library. (The only difference is that you would have "Music" selected instead of "Films".
If you don't want him to have access to other items in your library, you could just switch Home Sharing off on his library after you've done the transfers.
BNoir - I think that will help me too .... my problem is that I don't want my book content showing on children's PC ... I will try to just import music and see if that works.
one possiblity is to share the entire thing, BUT enable Parental Preferences. This way if you really are just concerned with your kids seeing only some content that is a way to do it.
