Buy songs on one Mac and then transfer to another Mac/iTunes Lib?

Hi,
I have my main machine at home and usually use iTunes there to shop the store. Now recently I have to be on the road a lot and when I check into the hotel, I use my Macbook to occasionally browse the iTunes store. And sometimes I want to buy something. What happens to those songs? They will end up in the iTunes library on my Macbook. Is it easily posible to transfer them over to my main library on my other Mac?
Thanks
Sascha

So I just copy them over? That's it?
Yes.
What about the DRM?
The DRM doesn't prevent copying of the files, but it requires authorization before the files can be played or otherwise used, and only five computers can be simultaneously authorized.

  • Buying songs on one computer and transferring them to another computer

    I have a couple of computers with iTunes 7.0 loaded and authorized for use. Can I make purchases on any of the computers and sync my ipod to get the new download and then download the new stuff to my other libraries?
    If yes, HOW?
    Thanks

  • Can we buy iphone from one country and then change the service provider

    Hi,
    I wanted to know if I buy an iphone from india today can I change the service provider when i come to U.S.A. for my studies in Jan

    It seems to depend on the country where you bought your phone.
    In Australia, with a post-paid account I can have my carrier unlock the phone for free so I can use the phone on a pre-paid account in the States when I am there.
    My carrier here gets paid regardless as I am on a 24-month contract.

  • Exporting video from one machine and then importing into another not working...

    Here is my situation:
    I wanted to import some videoes into iMovie on my Mac (OSX Lion) that my wife shot on her iPhone 4S (ios 5.x). I first synched her photos and video with iTunes/iPhoto on her machine (OSX Snow Leopard), then exported them from iPhoto onto a thumb drive. Then I imported them into iPhoto on my machine.
    The pics are fine. But the videos are not playing. iPhoto sees they are videos, but each one is like a still: there is no duration to the video when you hit the play arrow. They also will not play by clicking on them directly in a Finder window from the thumb drive. The are showing up (for example) as IMG_0133.mov, with the proper "Quicktime movie" in the "Kind" column, but each one is 1 to 1.5 MB or less, so something is up.
    Anyone know what has happened? Perhaps they don't export correctly?

    Yes, I do, and I will do that when I re-do the process tonight.
    Do I need to (or is it advisable) to export the .mov files separately?
    I admit I was in a hurry and never having done this before, I did not look closely at the options.

    Hello,
    If you just do a normal time machine backup on your macbook pro and then plug that harddrive into your new air; you should be able to just use migration assistant to transfer all your files. You wouldnt need to upgrade to mountain lion on your macbook pro.
    Hope it helps,

    I had an HP laptop with Itunes on it and kept my library on an external hard drive. I had a 160gb classic Ipod.
    My computer died and i am buying a new one (mac is out of budget)
    When I get my new computer, obviously I will download Itunes. My Ipod still has all the music on it and the external hard drive is ok.
    I don't want to "erase" or lose any information when I sync with a new itunes that is "empty"
    What are the steps? After I download Itunes and set the folder location to my external harddrive what is next? Will Itunes recognize my IPOD? Will it load the music/list from my ipd or external into itunes?
    Thanks in advance

  • I want to order photos on iPhoto. I have logged in one photo, and then my choices are cancel and buy now. How do I order more than one photo at a time?

    I would like to order more than one photo on iPhoto. I have downloaded one picture, and then my choices are cancel and buy now. I would like to download other photos to have them printed, too. How do I do that?

    Wich version of iPhoto do you have? You need iPhoto '09 or '11 to order prints.
    Make an album of all photos you want to order in the same order.
    Then select all photos at once, when you use Share > order prints.
    You should see a panel like this, where you can mark the quantities. The screenshot is from iPhoto 9.6:

  • How can I get my iPad to play just one song from my playlist and then stop automatically?

    I am a music teacher and I use the iPod on my iPad to play songs in class.  I have a long playlist of songs to choose from in each class, and I want to play just one song at a time.  I want to be able to start one song from my playlist and then walk away from my iPad and have it stop automatically when that song is over.  (I know how to make it repeat the same song over and over, but tha'ts not what I need.  I also know how to push "pause," but I don't want to have to walk away from the children to do it.) How can I make it play one song from a playlist at a time?

    I don't believe that there is a way to do that except, perhaps, creating a separate Playlist for each song.

    You can do it. This article from Macworld will be helpful to you:

    I recommend the "brute-force" method.
    Just make sure you have your data backed up properly!

  • HT1473 how can I download an more than one audio cd to itunes, scramble all and then transfer all back to a R/W cd?

    how can I download an more than one audio cd to itunes, scramble all and then transfer all back to a R/W cd?

    Import the CDs to iTunes one at a time, following these instructions.
    Once the tracks are in your iTunes library, put them into a playlist, and get them into the order you want.  Or if you by "scramble" you mean a randomly shuffled order, use the crossing arrows at the lower left to do so.
    When you are ready, insert a blank CD, use the command File > Burn Playlist to Disc, and create an audio CD.  I strongly suggest using CD-Rs rather than CD-RWs, since the latter often have trouble in normal CD players.

  • I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window.  Can you help?

    I downloaded an album from iTunes on my iPad and then i synced it with iTunes it doesn't show the individual songs in my library just the album which opens another window.  One of the albums won't even play the music.  Will only open the "booklet" for the cd but not the music.  Can you help?

    Hello dannugget
    Normally, if the songs showed that it is purchased then it is probably already in your library. If not check out the article below to walk you through downloading your past purchases. You may also want to check to see if you have Automatic Downloads turned on so that way next time you can get your tracks without having to plug in and sync.
