I added a new iTunes account. Wanted new library, did it, but now my old library dissappeared and I can't retrieve it on my laptop. How do I find it. Is it possible to have two different accounts with 2 different libraries and go from one to the other?
I added a second account to my iTunes on my laptop. I wanted to give 2nd acct. its own library. I did by holding down shift key and going to start menu, choosing all programs then iTunes, then iTunes again. It asked me: choose library or create another iTunes library. I chose the later. I renamed it and saved in My Music. It automatically started up iTunes and brought me to the new library, but I cant get back to the old library with all my purchases, etc... What do I do to get the old library back? Computer illiterate, so please be kind. Thanks
You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

just bought a new laptop but dont know how to transfer my itunes libary from one to the other i have signed in my my new laptop but still no music help please !!!!!!
Signing into the iTunes account has never made content magically appear... it still amazes me that people think this will actually work.
Type "move itunes library" into the search bar or your favorite search engine. You'll find multiple results for how to move the iTunes library. -
I have two macs in my house. One is newer and came with the os x mountain lion software and the other one needs to be upgraded. I was wondering if there is a way to take upgrade from one to the other? Should not have to buy this software again.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Buy it for the other computer. Mountain Lion is preinstalled on the new Mac, but you can only use it in the new one -
I have an iMac (OSX 10.9.2) and a Macbook (same). I want to copy photos from one to the other. how?
I have an iMac (OSX 10.9.2) and a Macbook (same). I want to copy photos from one to the other. how?
I'm sorry. I got a little off-the-wall there.
I want to have the same iPhoto files on both machines. A few days ago I spent several hours swapping photos back and forth until I had one event with identical picture files on both. Yesterday I scanned some old photos into the Macbook. Today I wanted to copy them to the iMac. I could not remember what I had done a few days ago, so I spent a couple of frustrating hours trying to either remember or find another way, to no avail. I have no idea what I did right before; I only recall that it was pretty easy.
I didn't write anything down. I used to do that, but what I do is so intermittent that by the time I want to copy pictures again either (a) the app has been updated and the old way doesn't work (b) I've lost the paper with the notes on it or (everything seems fine but it just doesn't work. So I gave that up.
Yes, I do want both iPhoto libraries to be the same. The Macbook is the one with the scanner and I download from my camera on the iMac, so I need to be able to move photos from one to the other, I think. -
how do I share movies/music between my computers. I have opened shared on both computers and both are on, but i am not able to drag anything from one to the other. Does anyone know where the settings button is on the bottom of the itunes screen?
Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)

I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.
See the following thread on the same topic:
2 Thunderbolt displays MBP = sound coming from both displays? -

i just bought my first imac i have 2 seperate drives on it. how do i move photos and documents from one to the other.
This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
You can move your iPhoto Library to an external or secondary internal disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space. -
I have two iPad 2 with separate iCloud accounts. I want to copy folders of weblinks from one iPad to the other. Email solution? Answer needs to be written for a user who doesn't know how to select a folder or a number of icons and email or copy them to something that can be emailed. I know how to do it one at a time by opening weblink and then emailing the link from safari.
Good idea. I've already used the feedback for my general suggestions to improve the way Apple handles bug reports (and tried sending it to Steve Jobs too), but I'll send a specific suggestion for a bug app on the iPhone.
However, my question is whether there is a simple way to send bug reports from the iPhone now that I have overlooked. -

I gave my 2yr old my 16gb ipad 2 when I upgraded to a 64gb ipad 3. They are on the same account so that I can share certain apps between them, but because they consider themselves one in the same I can't use airplay or face chat with my daughters ipad. How do I do these things?
Airplay doesn't work between two iPads so you don't need to worry about that, however, you can change the name of an iPad in Settings > General > About > Name.

Possible to have two login setups for different languages
Am wondering if I can have my Imac have two login/startups, one in English and one in Chinese. Is this feasible?
I think the answer is no. You can, of course, have the input menu showing at login so different users can use different keyboard layouts or IM's when they log in.

I have two users on my iMac, i want to transfer the font book from one to the other ?
I downloaded a bunch of fonts on my first User profile, now I don't use it because of problems and I now use a new profile.
How can I get the font book from one user to over ride the other one ??
thanks in advanceFont Book is an application available to all accounts.
There are three Font folders (provided by OS X)
/System/Library/Fonts
Contains fonts essential to the proper working of the OS and various included applications.
/Library/Fonts
Contains the standard set of fonts provided with the OS version, and is where you should put any fonts that you want to be shared by all accounts
~/Library/Fonts
Is the folder in each account. Fonts in here will be available only to that account.
Log into your old account and transfer the fonts from
~/Library/Fonts to /Library/Fonts
"/" indicates the root (Macintosh HD), "~/" is shorthand for your user folder.
