Can I have the same itunes on two computers?

I want to have the same info on one computer, mine as i do on my husbands. He doesn't use itunes & sometimes we only take one computer with us. I would like for them to be able to sync together with mine & his laptops.

Welcome to AD!
Yes, you can do this. It takes a little setting up. Here is a CNET video that I thnk explains it very well:

  • How can I have the same Itunes on 2 computers?

    I used to do everything from work so I use my itunes there. 
    But when I want to do some changes/backups during the week-end, I can't since it's not the same itunes on my laptop.
    I use the same Apple ID though.   How can I make it the same ??
    The one on my laptop is older and I only update the one from work.  I wish that all my purchases and everything were reflected on my laptop one.
    I now just switched and am fully in Apple mode : Iphone4s, ipod, ipad2...  but can't seem to have all of them working on the same itune on 2 computers.
    Thanks!

  • Can I have the same library on two computers?

    I would like to run iTunes off two computers..work and home with my same library. Can I? How?
    Thank you much

    I have seen the same info in a few different threads, but I'm still confused. My daughter has ITunes on an older computer, and wants to back up all the info for a new computer. I have ITunes on my computer, and tried to save her files on a flash drive (1 GB) and here's what happened: When I save either or both the .xml or .itl files, and tried to import them to my itunes, I got folders but no songs. When I saved the ITunes Music folder, that gave me the songs, but its more than 1 GB, so I guess I need more flash drives. [However, I was able to import a song that had been downloaded from a CD onto my daughter's computer while the drive was in place on my computer, but when the drive was gone, so was the song......is that always the case?] Do I need to copy the entire ITunes folder (including the .xml, .itl and Music) to the flash drive, and then copy that to the hard drive on the new computer? Help!

  • How can I have the same environment on two macs on is a macbook pro and the other a Mac mini

    How can I have the same environment on two macs on is a macbook pro and the other a Mac mini ?

    Forget trying to use iCloud for this - it won't do what you want.  iCloud syncs certain data like contacts and events, but it doesn't sync "environments" on computers.

  • Can I have the same iTunes library on two computers?

    I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro with two different iTunes libraries. I want to have the same library on both computers with playlist and all, so that if I do anything on the iMac, the macbook will sync. Anybody who can tell me if this is possible and how to do it? I also have a timecapsule if that matters?

    Hello henrik100,

  • Can I have the same iTunes and iPhoto on different users?

    I have 2 user accounts on my Laptop. Mine is the main one with all the music on iTunes and the photos on iPhoto. I was wondering if there is anyway, I can add these photos and music to the other user on my laptop.
    It is a macbook running on - Version 10.8.2 and a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Many thanks for any help.
    Ollivia

    Yes-
    To do this you need to get an external Hard-drive with enough storage space to hold your entire iTunes/iPhoto library. Then go to Finder and open your home folder, then locate music and find the iTunes folder.
    From here copy the folder onto you external drive. Then, locate the itunes folder in the other user, and replace the iTunes folder on your external drive with the folder in the music folder. Do the same with the iPhoto library. Then, you should have the same iTunes library and iPhoto library on both. You could then delete the itunes folder off of the external drive and use it for time-machine if you wanted.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can I have the same iTunes library on 2 computers?

    I have iTunes on my desktop PC, but now I want to use it on my laptop.
    I've downloaded iTunes on the laptop, but when I log in to my account, none of my music appears.
    I have my library backed up on my desktop hard drive, so do I have to import all of that music onto my laptop?
    I guess I assumed that my account could go with me where ever I signed in.

    How to Copy and Move your Music Files from One Computer to Another
    This is the conceptual framework with related and important links. Apply and adapt it to your specific situation and equipment resources.
    The safest, quickest, and most optimal method to move your Library to a new computer is to actually clone the entire ‘iTunes’ folder (directory) structure, rather than just copying just the song files. By copying the entire ‘iTunes’ folder and all sub-folders, you capture not only the music files, but the all-important ‘iTunes Library.itl’ database file (usually located in the ‘iTunes’ folder), which contains all the data about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). See: What are the iTunes Library files?
    Install iTunes on the new computer. Then go back to your old computer and move (copy) the "iTunes" folder which usually resides inside your "…\My Documents\My Music" folder from the old computer to the exact same place (both Drive Letter and complete Path) on the new computer. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will look and behave exactly the same way it did on the old, Play Counts, Ratings, Comments and all!
    NOTE: It is usually safer moving files between computers with the same version of iTunes!!
    Here's a list of methods to copy and move your music files from one computer to another:
    1) Use an External Hard Drive (ExHD) to move the complete files and Folder structures from one computer to another (my preferred option). You can clone’ the entire ‘iTunes’ folder structure in one very easy step. Also great to have available for complete backups of your Library. External hard drives now run less than $100 for 200-250GBs of storage. See This Link
    2) Directly connect the two computers....
    - 2a) Connect them through a Router &/or Network
    - 2b) Directly connect using an Ethernet cable: Straight for using at least one Mac; or Crossover for PC/PC Instructions here.
    - 2c) Connect them via a USB-to-USB Network Bridge. Example here. There are various types out there (use Google).
    ....Then copy the files from one computer to the other.
    3) Use the iPod as a transfer device, as this extensive Apple link explains. It will be a bit easier if your iPod has a larger capacity than your music collection, otherwise you will need to perform multiple copy/move transfers. This well written process also works fine while using any other data transfer medium (ExHD, Flash Drive, DVD, CD, Zipp, Jazz, etc.).
    4) Burn several DVDs (at 4.7GBs each) with your music data files and folder structure, and load them onto the new computer. Re-writable DVDs are more cost effective (if your DVD drive can manage these types).
    5) Burn 6x more on CDs (at 700MB each) than in #4 above and load the files and folders on the new computer. Re-writable CDs are more cost effective (if your CD drive can manage these types).
    6) Use a larger USB Flash drive (1GB - 4GB) to move the files and folders. Best if the flash drive is larger than your Library, otherwise you will need multiple copy/move transfers.
    These are links to various additional instructions on performing the transfer (read them all, but some listed steps may not be required depending on your specific situation):

  • Can i have the same itunes acct for two ipods (one nano and one shuffle)?  the shuffle is new and i want to duplicate the music. how do i do this?

    I have a nano that's a couple years old with an itunes acct.  Just got a shuffle and want to duplicate the playlist on the shuffle.  When I plug in the shuffle to the existing acct nothing happens.  How do I copy that music onto my shuffle.  thanks.

    Yes.
    You can sync as many ipods/iphone/ipads as you like to one computer/library.  This has nothing to do with your issue.

  • Can I have the same library on two different computers

    I have my iTunes library on a external drive linked to my work computer. Can I link it to my home computer too?

    If it is only the media files that are on the external drive, with the library files in the default location of User's Music\iTunes then see Make a split library portable.

  • Can i have the same application in two different oc4j containers?

    Hi,
    I have developed one J2EE application and still the updation is going on. So i wanted to to deploy the application in two different oc4j containers. so that one will be having the working version of my application and the users can use that application. I want to use the second container as my test application, in that i can modify and test. The deployment of my application in two different containers went fine. But when i try to access the web application with the context, it is serving from the latest deployment for my request.
    My question is :
    1) Can i use both applications with different Oracle HTTP server port numbers??
    2) All the HTTP requests are passed to the oc4j containers by AJP13 protocol through AJP port to the OC4J containers. where is the mapping between the OHS and AJP protocol defined ??? ie., the requests from this http port have to be transferred by AJP protocol through AJP port to this OC4J container ???
    3) Or i have to have two different installations of Oracle9iAS ???
    Please help me to solve my issues...
    Robert D

    Different ohs port numbers would not help as there is only 1
    $iashome/Apache/Apache/conf/mod_oc4j.conf
    You can pick a different context_root name for your test app.

  • Can i have the same Apple-Id-Account to two iPhone?

    If I create a new iTunes account for the German itunes store, what happened with my previous purchases? Do they remain on my iPhone and my Mac's iTunes?
    Nothing will happen to your existing purchases. Your computer will remain authorized - you can authorize a single computer to up to five iTunes Store accounts - and the apps and content will remain in place.
    Can I switch from one acount to the other every time I want to update an application or purchase a new one?
    As long as you're in the relevant country, yes. Again, the terms of use say that you agree not to even attempt to use an iTunes Store from outside of its country.
    Regards.

  • I have a Verizon and At&t Iphone 4 can I use the same Itunes account for both phones?

    I have a Verizon Iphone 4 though my job.  I also have a At&t Iphone 4 for my personal phone.  Can I use the same Itunes account for both phone or will I need a separate account for Verizon Iphone?

    I dont live in US, live in Japan.. but I do have 2 iPhones, one 3GS and one 4. I use same iTunes Account on both.
    You might have a little "problem" if your payment were by Credit Card, everytime you try to buy something (I mean, try to download something on your iphone, not from your computer) , your going to need to verify your payment... but if u use iTunes Gift Card, you wont have any problem with that
