How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

How do I copy purchases between 2 itunes libraries on the same computer with different log ins and separate apple user ids?

Load the library which doesn't contain the songs and drag them into the open iTunes application window. If you need to move them between different computer user accounts, put them into /Users/Shared/.

    They can, but not at the same time.
    If one user left iTunes running, and another user tries to use iTunes from a different Windows user ID, that second user will get an error message.  If they really want to use iTunes, they either have to beg the first user to log in and close iTunes, or else they have to restart the computer.
    If you are asking the technical reason why, it is something about context switching.

    If you mean iTunes Store accounts, yes, you can authorize your system to up to five different accounts.

  • Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer

    Can you share music between iTunes accounts on the same computer? My kids iPods are under my account now with all of our shared music but they want their own iTunes accounts. I would like to transfer the music and apps that they purchased under my account to their new accounts... Is this posible?

    Did you enable the display of system files and hidden files and folders?
    by the way, how can i stop this from happening another time.
    Make a backup!
    i had music there for over 6 years.
    Well you must have updated iTunes once or twice in that time. Do you have some sort of "tidying" app that is supposed to clean "unnecessary" files. If so perhaps it is too aggressive.

  • Can you put two iTunes libraries on the same computer? what is the best way?

    Is it possible to put two iTunes libraries on the same computer?  What is the best way to do it so the two libraries are not connected?

    give them distinct names. launch iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder of the desired library.
    FWIW, there are 3rd party apps that help with managing multiple libraries, notably:
    PowerTunes
    iTunes Library Manager

  • TS2972 I have multiple libraries on the "same computer" with two different desktops, can't I share between two libraries on the same computer?

    I'm trying to use home sharing to share content between libraries so some of the combined content in a given library, can be synced to an ipad.   Instad of having mulitple computers, i have multiple libraries on the same computer using two desktops.  How do I share within the same computer?

    iTunes must be running for home sharing to work.  There is no way to have home sharing running simultaniously for two users on the same computer.
    Simply add the media files using File > Add File/Folder option in iTunes.

  • Multiple iTunes libraries on the same computer?

    How do I get music from all three accounts on my computer? My iPhone says i can only have music from one library. How can I get my music from all three accounts on the same computer?

    I have the same questions - I am on a WIndows system.
    Are the multiple libraries in different Windows user accounts on the PC? If so, the following document should be of some help with taking music from one account and importing it into another:

  • How do I import music from other libraries on the same computer?

    We have four separate accounts created on our iMac for four different users. Each of these accounts has an iTunes library associated with it. I would like to be able to import music from one iTunes library to another. I would be grateful for any help!

    To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

  • Is it possible to store seperates iTunes libraries on the same computer

    My partner and I both have iPhones, iPads etc but enjoy different music. We only have 1 pc. Is it possible to have 2 seperates iTunes libraries run by the same computer? Our library is currently on an external hard drive but I would also like to know if it would be possible to run an additional library from the computers in built hard drive?

    Yes, you can have multiple libraries on a computer.  A neat route is to create an account for each library, that way the standard locations can be maintained.
    By default a new library will be created on your computer internal drive - you can treat the external hard drive as a source and copy the Song files to the new iTunes Music folder, once copy is complete use Add Folder from the file menu to load the Songs into the new iTunes library.

  • Can I transfer songs between two libraries on the same computer?

    I have two libraries on my computer, was wondering if any one knows a simple painless way to transfer music from one to the other.
    The reason is my music collection has gotten unfathomably large over the years, and I no longer want it to be that way. I was thinking maybe I could just find someway to "hide" a majority of the songs most of the time, and just show the ones i'm into at the moment. Since i couldn't find a way to do that, i made another entire library (both under the same user), thinking i would keep the bulk in one and the songs i was into for the moment in another, but have them linking to the same folder containing all the music files. This is working fine, but i would love an easier way to transfer the songs over to the favourites library, especially someway to do all the songs in a play list.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
    Thank you!

  • Can I access two different libraries on the same computer with the remote app?

    I am in the process of upgrading our home network. There is going to be an airport express in each of the main rooms of our house all running to a switch connected to our AirPort Extreme. The reason for this is so we can stream our music in any or all of the rooms we choose.  I'm going to have a Windows 7 PC running iTunes constantly also connected so that we will have access to the entire library on any of our devices.  My entire library will be housed on an external hard drive that will be connected to the Extreme. Here is where it gets tricky. My wife has a separate library that we want to have access to as well. It is going to be housed on a separate external hard drive connected to the Extreme via a USB hub. I don't want to combine our libraries because hers is absolute chaos and mine is very well organized. Without having to have a second  computer running iTunes constantly, is there a way we can access both libraries simultaneously with the remote app? Either by running two instances of iTunes on one computer or some other way I'm not realizing. As it works right now, if we're both running iTunes on our laptops, then I can go onto my iPad and see both full libraries on the remote app. I want to do that, but with just one computer.

    I doubt it is possible to run two instances of iTunes on the computer at the same time.  To do so would require two users to be signed in and running iTunes under each user.
    The better solution would be to either clean up and merge the two libraries or have iTunes running on a second computer.
