Add music to my ipad from second iTunes library

Hi everyone
For syncing, backups, etc I use my iTunes library on my mac for my iPhone and ipad. This includes CDs I have ripped in mp3
I have been reripping my CDs using AIFF. I have these an external hard drive. I also have imported these into MY second iTunes library which is on an external hard drive. I use this second iTunes library just for these music files.
Is there any way I can sync or drag and drop these CDs from this second iTunes library of mine onto my ipad and iPhone without needing to import them into my regular iTunes library that I use?
Thanks in advance for any info
Peter
( by the way I tried posting this in iTunes for Mac section but my ipad air had problems publishing the post for some reason. Something came up about some previous reference when i started my post)

Having kept looking around I found this that APPEARS hopeful: (mind you some other threads disagree)

There is also this comment on another thread that is similar. Comment by paulie.phonic:

Can you add items to your iPad from your iTunes library through home sharing?

Sorry I'm a novice to this.
Say I have a video in my iTunes library and I would like to add it to my iPad so I can watch it when I'm not at home without hooking the iPad up to my PC and syncing.
Can I do this through home sharing?
Thanks

Sorry, I miss-typed in my previous post. I meant to say you can't use homesharing to transfer content. (dictation got it wrong, but I should have checked). In order to transfer content from your iTunes library to your iPad, you would need to connect it to your computer via USB or Wi-Fi if you have Wi-Fi syncing enabled.
To enable Wi-Fi syncing you must first connect your iPad to your computer with the USB cable and then turn Wi-Fi syncing on in the settings within iTunes.

I recently downloaded music onto my iphone from another itunes library

but my own itunes library isn't letting my download it, how do I put the music onto my own library?

From another iTunes library of yours that is available on another computer that you own?
If so and the music was purchased from the iTunes store with the same iTunes account, iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was downloaded from the iTunes store only. The computer you are wanting to transfer the iTunes store purchased content to must be authorized with the same iTunes account with iTunes.
If not from your iTunes library and iTunes account on another computer that you own, what you are wanting to do amounts to stealing.

How do i switch from automatic to manual download of songs to my iPad from my iTunes library

how do i switch from automatic to manual download of my songs to my ipad in my itunes library

You can still manually add songs to the iPad even if the option is not set. Just drag them to iPad same way as when the option is set.
Select the iPad, click the Summary tab and tick Manually manage music and videos.

How do I find and reload the music that is missing from my iTunes Library

I lost over 2000 tracks in my iTunes Library

What is "Other"
It’s generally a combination of local caches from apps, browsers, mail, Messages, Reading List, saved games, app-specific documents and data, notes, and voice memos.
You can backup and restore to reduce "other" but they will start building up over time.

HT203200 I'm trying to add music to my iphone from my itunes but it keeps saying there's an error, what can I do?

What can I do to fix this?

What error?
The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Have you failed to do this?

My music won't sync from my iTunes Library to my iPhone 5s

So my new iPhone 5s wasn't functioning and I needed to get a replacement. I forgot that I hadn't synced the phone to my computer since my old 4S, as I had collected much more music since then. Whenever I try to sync it, it says it is going through the syncing steps at the top, but only takes a few seconds, and then nothing has changed on my phone. Why I apply the changes in order to put the music on the phone, the bar at the bottom (which shows how much data is left and what data that is) that signifies music and gets larger and shows the correct amount of memory it should take up on my phone. After the supposed "syncing", the memory bar goes away.
There is plenty of room for the music to be put on, probably 20 GB or so... Please help, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jack

Hi rhiannon5SOS,
You may need to enable manual mode for your device in iTunes as detailed in the article linked below.

My music won't sync from my iTunes library to my Apple device

I have tried various suggestions and nothing has worked. I had 168 songs on my iPhone, but after trying to sync the new music (22 songs) all my music ended up being deleted. I have looked up many videos and I'm yet to find an answer. When I try to sync the music on my iTunes to my Apple device, it just quickly goes through the 4 steps and nothing happens. At the bottom were it says "audio", it will say 200 songs and then after it "syncs" it goes right back to 0. It's like I'm doing the right thing but there is something going wrong along the way. In trying to solve this problem please don't say "Click Music in settings and then click sync music" or "Go to summary and click the 'Sync only checked songs' tab" I have tried all that LoL. There is something actually wrong. Thanks.

Where ar eyou looking on your iPad to see your music. Many people mistakenly look in iTunes app when they should be looking in Music app.
If you are doing it correctly, you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Resync and try again to see if the problem persists.

How do I add music to my iPod from a shared library?

This used to be simple. Now with the new iTunes it is driving me bonkers. My music library is on my old G4. I share that music with my Macpro laptop. I used to move a song to my laptop library. Then I could drag it to my ipod.
My new iPOd touch needed the new iTunes. I upgraded the laptop. Now I can view/play my shared library. I can't drag music to the library of my laptop though.
HELP. What is the workaround?

Thanks for the info...sounds like it might work. So just to clarify because I am NOT a computer whiz...by changing the setting it will keep my old downloads on my ipod and now I can download new music with my new computer and add them to my ipod. My old stuff will not be lost. When I was on my new computer there was a button that said, "On this ipod"...I could see all of my old music, but wasn't able to make new playlists or manage them in any way. Will I be able to manage them? Or will they be "frozen" so to speak?
Also, where do I look for this setting?
Thanks so much for your time!

You should be able to copy iTunes purchases over to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) you will need a third-party program to copy them back from your iPad - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

How do I transfer music from my itunes library to my wife's on the same computer?

How do I transfer music from my itunes library to my wife's on the same computer? I am trying to put the music that is on my phone on her phone.

Has she transferred iTunes content to her iPhone from an iTunes library on another computer or from a different iTunes library on the same computer?
If not, you transfer music to her iPhone from your iTunes library in the same way the music was transferred to your iPhone. If she has any iTunes content on her iPhone that was transferred from a different iTunes library, all iTunes content on her iPhone will be erased first.

How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

icloud does not handle music, except for letting you download music you previously bought at the iTunes store. For music, get it into iTunes on your PC, then connect your devices to the PC and using iTunes to sync it to them. Not sure about Apple TV. I think that might require buying a subscription to iTunes Match.
