Media sharing is one of the perks of having your own home network, and Apple makes it easy. Once you’ve shared your music and video content, you can access it from Macs, Windows PCs, iPhones, iPads, and Apple TVs on the network.
媒体共享是拥有自己的家庭网络的好处之一,而Apple使其变得容易。 共享音乐和视频内容后,就可以从网络上的Mac,Windows PC,iPhone,iPad和Apple TV对其进行访问。
(What Media Can You Share Using macOS?)
macOS comes with everything you need to start sharing both audio and video media. In macOS Mojave and earlier, you only needed to share your “iTunes media library. Now, as of macOS Catalina, iTunes has been officially retired.
macOS随附了开始共享音频和视频媒体所需的一切。 在macOS Mojave和更早版本中,您只需要共享“ iTunes媒体库”。 现在,从macOS Catalina开始,iTunes已正式退休。
This has led to some confusion about where the feature is now found, as Apple has shuffled the various iTunes features around. In addition to sharing music and video libraries, macOS also includes basic file sharing, printer sharing, internet connection sharing, and a handy screen sharing feature for getting tech support.
由于Apple改变了iTunes周围的各种功能 ,因此使人们对该功能的发现位置感到困惑。 除了共享音乐和视频库外,macOS还包括基本文件共享,打印机共享,Internet连接共享以及方便的屏幕共享功能,以获取技术支持。
All of these sharing features are now accessible from the Sharing panel within System Preferences.
现在,可以从“系统偏好设置”中的“共享”面板访问所有这些共享功能。
(Enable Media Sharing for Music and Video)
Before you can access your media over the network, you will need to enable media sharing.
您需要先启用媒体共享,然后才能通过网络访问媒体。
To do this on macOS Catalina or later:
要在macOS Catalina或更高版本上执行此操作:
- Launch System Preferences and click “Sharing.”
- Click “Media Sharing” and make sure the “On” box to its left is checked.
- Enable Home Sharing and authorize with your Apple ID and password.
- Set whether or not you want remote plays to update your play count and whether you want photos accessible to any Apple TVs on the network.
- Click “Options” and set a password if you want to keep other users out of your library.
The choice to set a password is up to you, but it will make accessing your shares a little trickier over the network. Remember that sharing will not allow other users to change or damage your library, and only provides read-only access.
设置密码的选择取决于您,但是这将使通过网络访问共享变得更加棘手。 请记住,共享将不允许其他用户更改或损坏您的媒体库,而仅提供只读访问权限。
(If You Can’t Enable Media Sharing)
A common complaint from Mac users is that they cannot enable media sharing because they are unable to check the relevant box in the Sharing preferences. If you are having this issue, then you should try deauthorizing and reauthorizing your Mac inside the respective apps.
Mac用户的普遍抱怨是,由于无法选中“共享”首选项中的相关复选框,因此无法启用媒体共享。 如果遇到此问题,则应尝试在相应的应用程序内取消对Mac的授权和重新授权。
To do this on macOS Catalina or later:
要在macOS Catalina或更高版本上执行此操作:
- Launch the Music and TV apps.
- At the top of the screen, click Account > Authorizations > Deauthorize this computer (do this in both apps).
- Now click Account > Authorizations > Authorize This Computer (do this in both apps)
- Try sharing your media library again using the instructions above.
(Are You Still Running macOS Mojave or Earlier?)
If you haven’t upgraded to macOS Catalina, you can still share your library. You’ll have to do it the old fashioned way:
如果您尚未升级到macOS Catalina,则仍然可以共享您的库。 您必须采用老式的方法:
- Launch iTunes and wait for it to load.
- At the top of the screen, click on iTunes > Preferences.
- Under the Sharing tab, enable “Share my library on my local network” and indicate whether you want to share everything or just specific playlists.
- Set password requirements and whether or not remote plays update play counts.
(How to Access Shared Media Over the Network)
Now that you’ve shared your media over the network, you can access it from your other devices. Bear in mind that devices can’t access your Mac’s media library when it’s powered off.
现在,您已经通过网络共享了媒体,您可以从其他设备访问它了。 请记住,关闭电源后,设备将无法访问Mac的媒体库。

(If You’re Already Using iCloud Music Library)
If you are subscribed to Apple Music, and you use iCloud Music Library to keep your library in sync between devices, you won’t need to do this. Your library should be the same regardless of which device you are using.
如果您订阅了Apple Music,并且使用iCloud音乐库来使音乐库在设备之间保持同步 ,则无需执行此操作。 无论使用哪种设备,您的库都应该相同。
Similarly, TV shows and movies you’ve purchased will always be available for download again under the “Purchases” section of the app you are using.
同样,您购买的电视节目和电影将始终可以在您使用的应用程序的“购买”部分下再次下载。
