Hi all

I turned on home sharing on my computer, and used the same user/pass details on my other halves PC. He can copy and use the apps that I purchased. However, although I can see the content of his iTunes library, I can't use any of it because it says my computer isn't authorised.

Do I need to get him to authorise my computer (on my computer) or do I need to turn off home sharing and start again, but using his Apple ID to do it? I had assumed that all computers on the same home sharing network could freely share content, but this doesn't appear to be the case!

Many thanks

M.
