My husband recently gave me his old apple mac. I currently use a windows laptop but want to transfer itunes to my donated apple mac. I have copied the library xml to the apple mac and the library shows up as "Shared" and will not sync to my iphone 4. How can I change the shared library on the mac to be the main music library that will sync with my iphone?
iPhone 4
The music has to be on the computer.
Copy everything from the windows computer to the mac and then sync the iphone.
The contents of the iphone will be erased and replaced with the selected content of the new computer.
Transferring the library xml to another computer is not enough.
Transfer your iTunes library from the Windows laptop to the Mac per the instructions included with this link.

Which OS X version is the Mac running and which iOS version is your iPhone 4 running?
