10.3: Make iTunes available to all in multiple users mode
One reason why apple disallowed it could be the iPod. When two people have iTunes open and an iPod is mounted, both iTunes might try to open the library which can result in data loss. It's possible that one is in read-only mode, but I haven't tried it. Another issue is Rendezvous sharing.
10.3: Make iTunes available to all in multiple users mode
While this may work for playing music (read-only) it's hard to tell what might happen when the second user adds a song to the libarary. Does the first iTunes have a file open that the second instance will change on the fly.
It's not about sharing a library, it's about accessing your own library
It's not about sharing a library, it's about every user accessing its own library. At least, that's how I understand the hint.
10.3: Make iTunes available to all in multiple users mode
When I first encountered it, I realized it was disabled for sharing purposes. Each instance is a separate process which will attempt to bind to the port used for sharing. Only the first process will be bound, and the remaining ones will be unable to be shared. |
