Share and Sync same library from 2 computers wirelessly

Hello,
I am trying to have the same library between my laptop and desktop wirelessly. I want to be able to update my ipod w/ other song on the go, on the desktop at home, and share the same library. Is there another way besides just sharing the music and then not being able to have it in the actual library? Thanks for all the help!

If your photos and catalog file are on an external HD, then you would have to bring the external HD wherever you want and PSE will work, provided that the drive letters are the same on both computers. (Example, if the external HD is E:\ on your home computer, it would have to be E:\ on the other computer).
You can move the catalog file and everything else in that folder via Windows. If you need to move the photos, this must be done in PSE (Folder Location View).

How to stream video AND sync Music + iPhoto from the same iTunes library ?

Hi everybody, my iTunes library is full of Music and with movies "linked" outside itself (to a external hard disk connected to my iMac), I'd like to sync this iTunes library to my AppleTV as follows:
1) the video should be set in streaming mode hence itself not being copied to ATV hard disk;
2) the music and my iPhoto library should be sync'ed (hence copied!) to ATV hard disk.
How could I achieve that ?
Thanks a lot.

Custom sync with Photo set to sync preferentially and all music syncable checked in the device music tabs.

Can I access the same library from 2 computers?

I just purchased and installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my main computer at home. Awesome tool!
I just loaded up over 25,000 pictures taken over the last 12 years and am slowly going through the task of tagging them. My question is as follows:
If install on a second computer, how do I access the library from the main computer? I am thinking that I can tag come pics during my lunch hour and get through this faster at the office but how do I move the library from one computer to the next?
I don't think the library is actually "moveable". Does it not just sort what is already on my main computer?
All suggestions welcome!

If your photos and catalog file are on an external HD, then you would have to bring the external HD wherever you want and PSE will work, provided that the drive letters are the same on both computers.

Unable to manually manage music and videos on iPhone 4 without erase and sync, same computer!

Ok, so I know you all have heard this before but I do believe my case is rather unique, and quite frustrating.
I purchased an iPhone 4 and synced it to the same computer I am using now - created the playlist and used it to sync with phone. Worked great for awhile; but one day I contracted some nasty malware and had to wipe my computer and reinstall my OS (Windows 7). Albeit my music library was on my external HDD which survived the onslaught. I obviously had to reinstall iTunes afterwards. The playlist was gone on reinstall.
Afterwards I still didn't see an issue with my iPhone and iTunes: When I plug it in it syncs, everything seems to be working accordingly.
But I recently transferred some new music from a CD to my iTunes and wanted to throw those songs on my iPhone, the drag and drop method I was so very used to did not work and I noticed that "manually manage music and videos" was uncheck under my devices summary.
When I attempt to check this option in iTunes it gives me a popup notification telling me I need to erase and sync in order to use this option because my 'iPhone is synced with another library". Again, I DID have to reinstall iTunes after reinstalling my OS.
I have tried all the tricks that google could supply me with with no avail; authorizing, stopping the sync from automatically starting.... yada yada - none of these cookie cutter methods have worked for me.
Here's a too long didn't read:
>iPhone 4 was working fine - used playlist to sync with.
>Had to reinstall OS (Windows 7) Playlist gone.
>Reinstall iTunes.
>iPhone still syncs with library, no error messages on connect.
>Unable to manually manage music and videos without erase and sync.
>None of the usual methods work.

Hmm, I will say after posting this and looking at the related threads it seems I can only either use manually manage or sync.
I was using sync before but since the playlist disappeared I was syncing with I simply want to add music to my phone without deleting everything. Is this possible?
If I use "manually manage music and videos" will it delete everything or just the music and videos? It doesn't specify...
Could I just create a new playlist and sync it with that? If so how?
The bottom line is it isn't that big of a deal if I need to simply rebuild my iPhone music library but losing my configuration, contacts etc is not an option. Optimally I would just like to be able to add my new music to my iPhone without having to rebuild my library.

Yes but you will need to authorize your computer for purchases on the old iTunes account.

I restarted my Ipod Nano I'm trying to sync my library from my computer to my Ipod but I don't see the sync prompt

I grew impacient and since I couldn't transfer my Ipod Nano's songs to my computer and also I coudn't sync my existing library from my computer to my Ipod Nano, I decided to restore my Ipod, obviously in blanck. But I thoght that restoring my Ipod it would make easier to transfer the songs from my PC to my Ipod but I don't see any prompt o question to sync the library. I'm also wondering if when you restore the device you're also deleting the Operating System ?? (crap) I would really appreciate if somebody can help with this issue or I'm afraid I' need to buy a new one...
Thank You !!
BTW: My Ipod Nano is 5th Generation.

Unable to have same library from two different windows user accounts

I recently spent about a week organizing and getting info correct on all my "millions" of songs. All of my music is in my itunes music folder, and organized.
I went over to my wife's windows user profile, and on itunes the library was incomplete. so i used the "add folder to library" function, to update her library to include all of the songs in the itunes music folder. It worked fine. but when i went back to my windows user profile, i got the "original file could not be found" message, on the majority of my songs. as a quick fix I deleted my library and used the "add folder to library" function, to update.
now I get the "original file could not be found" message on her library.
the files don't move, the just are not recognized by itunes on more than one "side" of windows.
it goes back and forth like this.
how can i get itunes on both windows user profiles linked to the same library, or pointed in the same place?
thanks for the help

If I understand correctly, your library file is the good one.
The default path in XP is
C:\Documents and Settings\ username \My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Try this article about multiple libraries, and see if you can open your library in her account:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.6/en/15502.html
You will need to brwose to the path in your account. She needs enough windows privileges to read/write it.
She'll need full access if you're on Vista, and it will be a sightly different path.

Ok. Add me to the moron list. I guess I am an over zealous trash emptier. Can I retrieve those images from the vastness by entering my time machine and restore the library from a previous date (when I wasn't a moron?)

Masters is where you want to be. They'll be in there in folders based on the date and time they were imported.
