2 different computers??

For xmas I got a nano and set it up on my computer at home. Now that I'm back at school, can I hook it up to my computer here without losing all of the songs on it from my home computer?
Any help would be much appreciated

Using iPod with Multiple Computers

  • Downloading on same account, different computers

    I have two computers in my house. Different family members have their iPods registered to the different computers, but use the same Apple Account for iTunes. Do I have to download songs and videos and pay for them again if i'm downloading them on the same account but a different computer?

  • Time Machine: Backup folder changing size when connected to different computers

    Can someone please help me wrap my head around why the size of my Time Machine backup folder changes when connected to different computers? I tried to be as thorough as possible.  Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.
    I made a backup of my one laptop (MacBook Pro running 10.6.8) before installing Mavericks.  The backup folder size is 258.56 GB and it is on a 1TB WD external.  There are no other computers backed up in this folder.
    Last night, I tried to copy the backup folder to another 1TB WD external and ran into the “you can’t do that” message.  After some researching, I came across articles explaining how Time Machine handles HDs and, in order for me to copy my backup folder, the drive I want to copy the folder to needs to have the “Ignore ownership on this volume” deselected.
    Okay, so here is my situation: I have the “Ignore ownership on this volume” deselected and journaling is correct on the drive I want to copy the backup folder to.  So I can continue working on my laptop, I want to use a different computer to copy the backup folder from one HD to the other.  The problem I’m having is each computer I own is showing me a different backup folder size O.o.
    (1) The computer I want to use – a Power Mac G5 Quad running 10.4.11 (non intel) – is showing a backup folder size of 592.7 MB, but the HD shows there is 258 GB being used.  When I drag copy, I only get a 592.7 MB backup folder.  For some reason, the backup folder is the only folder acting this way. I compared other folders from the same and different externals and all the sizes match up perfectly no matter the computer they were connected to. How is this possible?
    (2) My second option - Mac Pro (early 2009) running 10.9.4 – is showing a 256.15 GB backup folder size.  Very close, but not 258.56 GB.
    (3) My last option is to use the computer I’m trying to stay away from, the MacBook Pro running 10.6.8.  This is the computer I backed up and is showing me the correct folder size = 258.56GB.  As I mentioned, I'd like to work on my laptop while copying the backup folder using one of my other computers.
    I am able to drag and drop from each computer, but the folder size depends on the computer I’m using.  I don’t understand why I can't do a simple drag and drop of a 258 GB folder.
    Many thanks!!

    The directory files that you are seeing are not real. They are links to the actual backup files that are stored in a hidden directory on the drive. If you were to look at the same drive on a pc, you would see the folders and you would a list files that are in the folders but the files would all be 0 byte files and Windows will tell you the file is empty because there is nothing there but a link which Windows does not understand.
    So the point is you can't just copy the backupd files. The best solution that I know of (and maybe someone else will chime in) for copying them is to mirror the drive with something like Carbon Copy or some other program.

  • Different accounts in different computers

    Me and my wife have different acounts, in different computers (with differente ios devices), in the past we share of music and books bought from itunes without problems, but know I found the restriction of 90 days to change de AppleID
    ¿How can now share our content bouth between our two accounts?

    Hi Dongoyo79,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below explains how your Apple ID can be used for different services.  If the majority of your iTunes purchases are on one of your Apple ID's -- you can sign out of the iTunes Store and sign back in using that Apple ID and password.  You can continue to use your other Apple ID to keep all of your data separate for iCloud, etc.
    The other option is to use your own Apple ID for iTunes AND iCloud.  If you have separate User accounts on your computer, then you could each build your own iTunes library.  Review the article below and decide which option is best for you.
    Using your Apple ID for Apple services
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
    An Apple ID is the email address you use as a login for just about everything you do with Apple, including using iCloud to store your content, buying songs from the iTunes Store, and downloading apps from the App Store.
    When you set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can use the same Apple ID for iCloud services and purchases on the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. You can also use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You will get all the benefits of iCloud whether you use the same Apple ID for iCloud and store purchases, or different IDs for each.
    The following section explains these two approaches.
    Using the same Apple ID for Store purchases and iCloud (recommended)
    Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases
    Frequently Asked Questions
    I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device?

    First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
    Mac:  iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
    PC:  iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
    Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. 
    I hope this information helps ....

  • How do multiple users on different computers work on an Indesign file?

    Do we work on it on the Cloud and only one license is needed for same project? Do we need multiple licenses for different computers working on the same file? If I buy Indesign, will I be the only person who can access the software from my computer?

    thank you so much! I wouldn't be giving the copy to anyone but yes would
    need to access the project from two computers. If this is only a seasonal
    project (primary school yearbook), I guess I'm better off just paying
    monthly until we need it.

  • How can I subscribe to different podcasts on different computers?

    Up until recenlty, I could susbcribe to different casts on two different computers. I sync my iPod with my iMac at home, and use this for most of my podcast listening. At work, I had a different set of podcasts I listened to at my desk.  Now, I get both sets of casts on both computers. I don't want this!  Seems like it came with an upgrade to iOS7, and or something to do with iCloud, but I cannot figure this out.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Exact same issue. I subscribe to Podcasts on my computer and my husband subscribes to different Podcasts on his computer, but we use the same Apple account. If I delete Podcasts from one computer it deletes them from the other. This wasn't the case until the recent upgrade to iTunes. I don't use the Cloud for any type of syncing, everything is done manually through iTunes.

  • Can my wife and I share iTunes accounts on different computers?

    My wife uses an Apple Airbook, I work on a desktop PC. I've had an iTunes account for a long time and we share music, etc. So can we share the same iTunes account from our different computers?

    No. iOS is not designed at this time for multiple account logins. You would be synching over the top of each other.

  • How can I use the same "I Tunes" on two different computers

    I’m using two different kinds of Personal Computer: One is Desktop PC And the other one is Notebook .
    In each computer there are the same songs and when I get the new ones to the Desktop I want them to be placed on the Notebook or reverse.
    Where does the I Tunes save the playlist on the hard drive ?
    I have prepared a playlist on my Notebook and want it to be seen on the Desktop but I dont want to fallow the steps File > Library > Export Playlist on the Notebook. Is there any other way to make this issue instead of the mentioned steps.
    How can I see the same Playlists and songs on two different computers ( notebook and desktop) including the updating processes.
    Operating systems of the computers:
    Desktop: XP Pro
    Notebook: Vista Bussiness

    I use SyncToy 2.0 to keep two instances of my library in sync. SyncToy's preview will show which files it is about to update giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the changed files will be copied saving lots of time.
    As long as I sync after making updates at one instance of the library before making any updates at the other then everything works just fine. I periodically run iTunes Folder Watch to check for any orphaned entries or new items that haven't been imported into the active library. If your machines are regularly networked together this process is fairly straightfoward. Mine are in disparate locations so I use one of the (physically) small WD My Passport host powered drives which I take between home & work, synchronising at either end. This gives me three complete copies of my library so I'm covering backup & synchronisation in the same operation.
    When connecting my iPod at either location iTunes recognises itself as the "home" library for the iPod so I'm able to use the sync with selected playlists option without getting warning messages about the iPod being synced with a different library.

  • HT4759 how do I sync my iTunes purchases made through the same Apple ID but on different computers?

    I want to sync all my iTunes music and video so I can play it on the laptop I am currently using. How do I sync them? I have made iTunes purchases from the same account using 4 different computers (2 macs and 2 pcs

    Setup then Use Home Share feature on both PCs just like you would for music
    After setting up home share on both computers, on one computer (say "A) ...from the pull down menu on the upper left of iTunes, select the Library/Apps from the other computer("B").
    Next, at the bottom left, from the pull down menu select "Items not in my library"
    Next select (highlite) all of those items not in your "A" library, then choose import from the bottom right of iTunes.
    When done importing on the first computer (import B to =>A)...go to the second computer ("B") and import from "A" to=> "B"
    Now you can sync your iPhone or iPad on the computer you normally use and all apps will sync.

  • How do you combine 3 different itunes libraries from 3 different computers to one computer?

    How do you combine 3 different itunes libraries from 3 different computers to 1 computer?
    Can you keep it from creating duplicates?  These libraries have some duplicates.
    How do you deal with duplicates? 
    I'm talking 50GB. 
    All computers are authorized. 
    THANKS for any suggestions.

    You can't.
    If accounts could be merged, then everybody could merge their accounts with everybody and there would be no need for anyone to buy anything.

  • I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?

    I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?

    You can transfer iTunes content from an iTunes library on a single computer only.
    Since these songs were purchased with the same iTunes account, you can download the song that is not in your iTunes library on the computer you will be syncing your iPhone with. Or you can download the song or songs direct on your iPhone.

  • How many different computers can i sync my ipod to and transfur music from?

    how many different computers can i sync my ipod to and transfur music from? i am trying to sync my ipod to another laptop and add my music to that computer but i was wondering if there was a limit on how many computers you can do that with. thanks all.

    You can authorize up to five computers for your iTunes purchases.
    If manually managing your device you can add content from any library.
    If automactially syncing content is managed from one library.
    Purchased content can be transfered from a device into an authorised library, otherwise iTunes only transfers content to the device.

    How many different computers can I sync my iPod with?  My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer when I sync my iPod.

    You can sync with onee at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
