Is there a way to have two iTunes music libraries: a library on my computer and a shared library on a NAS server (cloud box)?

I would like to know if I can have two iTunes music libraries: a library on my computer and a shared library on a NAS server (LaCie CloudBox). I want to have some music files on my computer and a larger collection of songs with cover art on a shared CloudBox (NAS server) so that also my family members can listen to the music on the Cloudbox. Is there a way to do this?
I know I could just copy the music files to the CloudBox, but that way only the songs are shared, not the cover art. I could also just keep the files on my computer and share the library via home sharing, but that way my computer would have to be always on. So is there a way to have a shared library on the cloudbox that works regardless of my computer being on or not?
Thanks,
Jay

Try homesharing. I am not sure if this will keep them seprate but this is really close to what you are looking for.http://www.apple.com/itunes/inside-itunes/2010/01/sharing-itunes-libraries-at-ho me.html

Two separate itunes music libraries. Can we share purchased music

My husband and I have separate itunes music libraries on the same computer.
How can we copy itunes purchased in one music library to the other library?

Refer to this article:

How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

How to combine two iTunes Music Libraries?

So,
I keep two different iTunes Music libraries on an external store like an Time Capsule's share.
The problem I have is that iTunes Helper constantly resets it's Music Location back to the home folder instead of the network path where the actual iTunes Music directory is. This is one of the more annoying features of iTunes.
What I find is that the actual Library stores the path to the files ie. /Volumes/TC/iTunes Music/Directory/filename.mp3
Well the problem is that occasionally the actual mount /Volumes/TC is claimed by a root process and the Finder or disk abritration creates /Volumes/TC-1 for the user with the users permissions and consequently the paths in the iTunes Music Library are no longer valid because iTunes cannot access the file thru /Volumes/TC
So how else can you combine or provide a single iTunes Music Library with the ability to access music that actually exists in multiple iTunes Music Location's without depending on the actual name of the mount point?

Sorry it's the next day, I had to get off of my computer. Yes, you will have to pick a location. I would put it in the iTunes folder, or wherever you need it.
But if you've got all of the music you want to show up in your iTunes library, export it and put it iTunes folder (under music). Hopefully that should do it.
I had a similar problem once, but I solved it by simply dragging all of my music from several different computers (via network connection) to the iTunes music folder. After that if they didn't show up in iTunes I simply hit import and brought them in.

Itunes music & photos on apple-tv not possible to re-synchronise with imac

I did buy in the last 2 year, a imac, macbook, apple-tv, copple of iphones, a lot of softwares, etc.... i did buy also in itunes a lot of music,, now my imac hard disk crashes just 1 month out of waranty, but i synchronized all my music and photo's to my apple-tv.
Now I did buy a new HD with installation (about 500 euro!!!) and I want to synchronise all my music and photo's again to my imac but at the support phone they say, oh but this is not allowed ! all the music and photo's on your apple-tv you can not synchronise anymore with your imac,
I was an enthousiastic apple user, great design, nice working, etc... but when apple decides how to use your own music and photos en how you're not can use it then I'm al lot demotivated to use apple materials.
If my harddisk crashes en there is no backup at all, I can understand it, when it's gone it's gone .
But on my apple tv there's still all my music and photos, I can see the photos on my TV an hear the music, only apple decides that I can not bring it back to my Imac, That's the problem!
I'm serious, If APPLE is not given any support for my problem I will sell all my apple materials and use DELL computers with SONOS or LOGITECH material for music and photos, My Iphones I change for HTC etc...
I will never use Itunes anymore, there are enough other ways to download music etc..
is there anybody who can help?

I understand that there is a sort of limit to use your music etc... because everybody could copy your hole music file (what you can do perfect with a PC), but I don't understand that in single cases when there is a malfunction like a crash on the main computer, in my case the music-files and photo's are still on the content of a apple-tv or ipod there is no possibility at all to use those files and copy it to the new HD, it's still the same computer, there is enough digital material to see it's the same main computer.
when I did not had the apple tv I would had it to a external HD, I realy thougt that it could be retrieved
When you have a logitech of sonos or other music system (like apple tv) you can always copy the files to a new hd of computer, because the files are a mirror of the computer).
the same thing like the ipod apple versus other MP3 players, the music you can free copy on different pc.
So it's realy apple who will decide, they want to be the little allmighty, thats wat make me angry,
I realy was an apple lover, but it's over!!, I don't give any little penny to the concern for downloads or new material.
I'm sure today or tomorrow they will delete this post because they don't want bad publicity
trust me!!

Merging iTunes music libraries.

I have an iTunes music library on my MacBook.
I also have a music library on my IPod which was created on an IMac which is no longer operational.
Does anyone know how I can combine the two lots of music by downloading the music from my iPod to my MacBook?
Thanks.
Nick.

Hi Jolly Giant,
Thanks a lot for that.
I ended up down-loading Music Liberator from Zelek Software and it worked perfectly.

Itunes music libraries under same apple id but different mac products

I have many apple products that registered under one apple id. One of our mac computers has been the main music library. However I have purchased music from itunes on a separate mac computer and started a small music library there. I've recent purchased yet another ipod nano and I'm wondering why i can't connect the nano to both computers to download the music without having to delete one as the main mac computer music source? Is there a way for me to download selected music from both mac computers to the nano?

What do you mean the PC won't let you transfer the music? Save your entire iTunes folder (this is assuming that you have all your music stored in your iTunes folder) to an external hard drive. Connect that hard drive to your Mac. Copy the iTunes folder to your computer. Hold down the option key while launching iTunes on your Mac. Select the library you just copied when it ask you to select which library you want to open.

Two iTunes music libraries on one computer

Currently my iTunes library is on my work computer. I want to switch to my home computer, which already has my son's iTunes account and library that he synchs his iPod to. Can I add my account/library separate from his so our music and content don't mix? How?

Itunes music from 2 apple IDs on 1 iPhone

Hi -
I have two separate Apple IDs and while I understand I can't merge them, can I get the music from both into one itunes library and then sync my iphone with this library. I just want to be able to listen to music from my new and older account on the same iphone.
Is there any way to do this?
Thank you,
Shosho

Just add the songs to iTunes then sync the iPhone.

How do I listen to my iTunes music on my Apple TV??

I have an iPhone 5 with lots of music and I want to access it through Apple TV, do I have to subscribe to match??

Use the AirPlay icon in the bottom right corner.

Can't access itunes music on Apple TV anymore

I used to have access to itunes music in my apple TV, but the menu's are gonr now, although stil there for TV shows and movies.

Same here, lost my left couple menus related to the Apple Store, so I can only watch from my own Library, and the internet menu. Airplay works well though
I logged out, logged into the store, it says I'm logged in. unplugged and restarted, no luck either. doesn't seem like a great revenue-generating idea from Apple LOL! hopefully this will be fixed soon! (or somebody comes up with a solution!!)

Apple TV, iTunes match and multiple apple IDs

My husband and I recently got Apple TV and also converted from MobileMe to iCloud. We each have our own unique Apple IDs that we each use to purchase from iTunes. We also set up a shared Apple ID to create Home Sharing so that we could access our music libraries in Apple TV (so three separate, unique Apple IDs). And we each signed up for iTunes Match, but on our individual Apple IDs (not the shared Apple ID). Now I'm trying to turn on iTunes Match in Apple TV and am running into an issue. It seems that since Apple TV is set up with the shared Apple ID (so that we can access things via Home Sharing and also charge purchases on Apple TV to the joint account), we may not be able to turn on iTunes Match in Apple TV because that shared Apple ID hasn't turned on iTunes Match.
My question is: should we spend an additional $25 to turn on iTunes Match on the shared Apple ID and will doing so prevent us from accessing iTunes Match on one of our individual IDs on our laptop (which is how I personally acces iTunes and sync all my devices - iPhone, iPad, etc. - my husband does his syncing on his work computer) - due to the 90 day error message? I'm trying to figure out the best, most practical approach for accessing all of our music and other iTunes downloaded content as well as photos, etc. and I'm struggling a bit here. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

Have you tried the simple signout and try to sign back in with the other username and password? You may need to reduce the number of device sharing on the account you wish to access , I believe there are limits look at apple.com

How can I sync music libraries between our 3 MacBooks

How can I sync the iTunes music libraries between our 3 MacBooks?

Whenever you update one iTunes Library be sure to copy it to the other two computers. It goes in the /Home/Music/ folder. You can probably does this easily over your local network using File Sharing.
Copy the most recently changed iTunes Library folder to a USB flash drive. Use the flash drive to copy that library onto the other two computers.
Use a backup/sync utility to update each computer over your local network.

HT1473 My girlfriend and I both have iTunes account with our own music libraries and we want to combine our two libraries into one icloude accounts so can both then access our one shared libary at anytime in the cloud. How do we do this?

No it is not possible. Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.
