  • Can I use the same iTunes library on 2 macs?

    I have 2 macbooks. The audio files are stored on the external harddrive.
    Does each macbook has to have its own library or can they be using the same library -- and always display the same playlists, etc.?
    How do I do that?
    Thanks,
    Sasi

    Keep all the files for the library on the ext HD. This includes the Album Art, iTunes Library file, .xml files etc.
    This way any time you are opening the library it will have all the files available. Hold down the 'option' key when launching iTunes and direct the Mac to the ext HD.

  • HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

    If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

    She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
    Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.

  • Can I sync the same iTunes library on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro?

    Can I sync the same iTunes library on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro?  I've been connecting my iPhone to each and it's causing problems for me with them being different, despite my purchases always being under the same Apple ID.

    The easy way to do this is to keep the library on an external drive which you can plug into either computer.  Of course this isn't always the desirable solution.  You can try routinely copying the library from computer to computer though this gets tiresome.

  • How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's Imac?  I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works!

    How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's iMac?  I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works!  I know his email, but that account has been cancelled for security purposes, so we can't just request a new one.  I tried his security questions to no avail.
    Thanks

    Since that password is tied to his Apple ID, you will need to contact Apple; as far as I know, it will be a somewhat lengthy procedure and you will  need to furnish necessary paperwork (including a death certificate as far as I know). Best to either stop at an Apple store or call them to find out exactly what it is you need to do.

  • How can I get the same candy crush level on my phone and iPad?

    How can I get the same candy crush level on my phone and iPad?

    The only way to synchronize is connecting to FaceBook. I just set up my girl friend's iPhone to connect with FaceBook, which then updated the phone's level; then I downloaded the app (again) on her iPad and selected connect to Facebook. I'm not sure what the downfall of synchronizing through FaceBook is.... all I can tell you is it worked and now her iPad shows the same level as her iPhone. Good luck!

  • How can I get the same session with jdbc?

    HI
    After I create or use a JDBC connection,
    i do a query.
    How can I get the same session next time?
    thanks a lot!

    Hi qin,
    Unless I have misunderstood your question, a 'connection' and a 'session' are the same thing. When you obtain a database connection, you have created a database session. Once you close that connection, the session dies -- it no longer exists. You cannot obtain the same 'session' when you get another database 'connection' (after you closed the first one).
    Hope this answers your question.
    Good Luck,
    Avi.

  • How can I get my entire itunes library onto my PC laptop?

    I had an ipod touch, where I bought and stored most of my music. I only have a few songs on my PC laptop. Unfortunately my ipod has litterally fallen apart, to the point where it can't be used (pieces of the screen, wiring, and the outside have fallen off.) How can I get the entirety of the songs I have purchased using my apple id, including those that were on my ipod, onto my laptop? I have itunes 10.7 currently, but can install a newer version of itunes if need be. (As you may have noticed) I'm not a particurally tech savvy person, and I thank you greatly for your help.

  • How can I sync the same iTunes 11 library between 2 users on the same Mac?

    With iTunes 10 I was able to have one main iTunes library under one user and have a second user (on the same Mac) access it by putting an alias of the iTunes Libray.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml files in the second user's iTunes folder.  This ensured that the library remained synced regardless of which user added or made changes to it.  With iTunes 11, I am no longer able to do this.  If I try I get the following error pop up:  'The iTunes application could not be opened.  An unknown error occured (13014)'.  If I delete the aliases in the second user's account the error message goes away but nothing shows up in the main iTunes window.
    I've been able to at least access the iTunes library (which is stored on an external drive) with the second user by changing the iTunes media folder location in advanced preferences to the main iTunes library and then selecting file/add to library and selecting the iTunes media file which (eventually) pulls up all the song/movie/apps etc. information.  However, the 2 libraries do not remain synced (i.e. a change in one does not show up in the other).
    Anyone know of a way to get one library to remain synced between 2 user accounts on the same machine with iTunes 11 or am I going to be forced to delete and recreate the second user's iTunes info frequently to 'catch up' with the original?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm surprised the alias method worked, and it certainly isn't the prescribed method.

  • How can I get back my itunes library settings?

    My dad recently created a new profile and my library got lost with the old profile. I was able to move all my music from the old profile to my new library but i lost all my settings. I have the music but it doesn't show any of my ratings for any songs, no play counts, the date added is wrong, no playlists, and I had selected specific songs I wanted on my ipod but now it has all of them selected again. I still have all my old settings on my nano if I can get them off there somehow. If anyone knows how i can get my settings back please help.

    It sounds to me like the original iTunes Library file got replaced. If so, transferring from the nano will be your only possibility. If you search VersionTracker for "iPod", you'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your playlists from your iPod back to your Mac. One or more of those utilities might also be able to transfer playcounts and ratings.

  • How can I have the same Itunes on 2 computers?

    I used to do everything from work so I use my itunes there. 
    But when I want to do some changes/backups during the week-end, I can't since it's not the same itunes on my laptop.
    I use the same Apple ID though.   How can I make it the same ??
    The one on my laptop is older and I only update the one from work.  I wish that all my purchases and everything were reflected on my laptop one.
    I now just switched and am fully in Apple mode : Iphone4s, ipod, ipad2...  but can't seem to have all of them working on the same itune on 2 computers.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to AD!
    Yes, you can do this. It takes a little setting up. Here is a CNET video that I thnk explains it very well:

  • How can I use the same domain.sites2 on two macs?

    I know iWeb is no longer supported but I still find it ok to manage my web site.
    I would like to work on the site from two macs. I thought I could just use the same Domain.sites2 on both macs but: if I move Domain.sites2 to dropbox folder, when I launch iWeb it does not know about it and creates a new empty Domain.sites2 in the Library/iWeb folder
    I do not want to have to manually make a copy of Domain.sites2 to Dropbox and then to the other mac's Library every time I switch computer.

    You may want to use :
    http://wyodor.byethost8.com/iwebsites/iWebSites.html
    Select "Choose new folder" from the File menu to select the folder on Dropbox where your domain file is.
    If that does not work, use:
    http://wyodor.byethost8.com/iwebsites/iWebDrop.zip
    (Unzip the file and drop the domain file on top of it)
    After that, you can open iWeb with your currently used domain file.

  • I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, but my husband has his own itunes acct, how can he use the main itunes library and get out music on his phone also

    I have 2 iphones in the family and want to use itunes match on both devices, unfortunately my husband has his own itunes acct and when i change on his phone to my itunes acct it states that the email is already in use, any help on how to get the itunes match to go onto both devices, thanks

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

  • HT2731 The appleID on my phone is not the same as on my itunes account. How can I get the same on both my iphone and itunes?

    How can I match my apple ID for itunes and my apple ID on my cellphone?

    Do you have multiple accounts or have you updated your account on your computer's iTunes and the update hasn't copied over to your iPhone ? If you've updated your account then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your phone and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version.
    If you have multiple accounts then you can log out of your account on your phone as above, or your computer's iTunes via the Store > Sign Out menu option, and you can then log in with the other account. But all content is tied to the account that downloaded it.

  • Can I have the same iTunes library on two computers?

    I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro with two different iTunes libraries. I want to have the same library on both computers with playlist and all, so that if I do anything on the iMac, the macbook will sync. Anybody who can tell me if this is possible and how to do it? I also have a timecapsule if that matters?
