Can I import songs from two different Macs using home sharing?

I have two MacBooks and a IMAC G5.
I set up home sharing but can't seem to import songs from PC one to another.
I was able to do it but now 2 of my PCs are using Yosemite.
I want to move my music from, Macbook, to iPAD, to iPhone to iPOD.
Any help with this will be appreciated
Thanks
Chuck

You can't use home sharing to put music on your mobile devices from your iTunes library, you will need to sync them.

  • Trying to transfer songs from PC to Mac using home sharing.

    I just bought a new Mac and am trying to get my songs from the PC to the Mac. I managed to transfer the songs using Home Sharing, but, when I tried to add the songs to my Library in iTunes, any songs that were not purchased on iTunes (burned from a CD, etc) are greyed out, will not play, will not delete. What gives? Is Apple trying to make me buy my entire library on iTunes?
    I'm trying to get these songs to my Mac so I can wipe the music on my iPhone (which was linked to my PC) and manage the music on my Mac. It doesn't seem I'm able to do that either. Does this have something to do with the PC.
    THANKS!

    When using home sharing you must use the same Apple ID on both machines. It does not mattter what apple id the machine uses to login to iTunes with.
    Then you can click on the orange house icon in Shared in the left sidebar of itunes. Select what to import and click import at the bottom right

  • How can I transfer songs from two different itunes?

    I want to transfer songs from my brother's itunes library to my shuffle, but when I plug it in his computer, a message saying that his library is not linked to my library (or something to that extent) and whether I would like to replace the songs. If I click yes, all my existing songs are replaced with HIS songs. If I click on NO, the Shuffle icon does not appear at all and I cannot transfer any of his songs to my shuffle. How can I transfer songs from two different computers into my shuffle without replacing any of my existing music?

    You'll have to setup your iPod to manual instead of automatic update (I'm not sure, though, if it works with the Shuffle as well).

  • Can I import photos from iPad to Mac using WiFi?

    I know I can import photos from the iPad to the Mac using the USB cable, and importing them into iPhoto.  But is it possible to do this without plugging in the iPad - i.e. with WiFi?  I couldn't find a way to make it work.
    Better still, would it be possible to automatically 'sync' photos taken on the iPad to the Mac using iCloud, without also having photos from the Mac going back to the iPad?  My iPhoto archive is now quite large, and I don't want it on the iPad.
    Or are there any other approaches?
    I really want to be able to use the iPad to regularly "empty" my camera while travelling, and have the iPad transfer the pictures to my main photo archive (iPhoto on the Mac) whenever it gets a chance.  If this can happen automatically, that is best.  Manually initiating it via WiFi is next best.  Mnually initiating it via a USB cable is third best - still not difficult, but more steps.

    Can anybody confirm this one way or the other?
    If you have 800 photos on the iPad in the Photo Stream, those 800 photos will appear in the Photo Stream in iPhoto. However, if you have 7000 photos in albums in iPhoto, they will not appear in the Photo Stream on the iPad unless you place the photos into the Photo Stream. Photo Stream is its own album in iPhoto and your already imported photos in iPhoto will not appear in there unless you add them to the photo stream.
    Look at one of the WiFi photo transfer apps such as WiFi Transfer App. You can send the iPad photos to your Mac using Safari on the Mac and then Imprt them to iPhoto as you see fit. You cannot send the photos directly into iPhoto with these apps.

  • When importing files from desktop to laptop using home sharing, files fail to copy "An unexpected error occured (-50)"

    So I'm trying to copy my library from my desktop computer to my laptop. I'm using the import feature when browsing the other library through Home Sharing. Some files wil copy, anywhere from 6-150 songs then it will fail. I have 6000 songs to copy, so I really don't want to babysit my way through this. I'm having to use my wireless network (no external drive available), but it is pretty sturdy. It hasn't been giving me any grief to stream the music, just to copy Is there any fix for this?

    The following comes from the LaCie web site but is applicable to any other external drives whether home brew or commercial.
    Getting error -50 when copying data in OS X.
    Some drives ship out formatted FAT32 so they will be ready to use on either a Mac or a PC. If you are getting error -50 when copying to a drive formatted for PC, it is because of the following:
    Certain characters that can be used in a Mac OS X filename are not allowed in MS-DOS filenames. This can prevent the file from being copied, and can occur when a filename contains non-printing ASCII characters, or any of these characters: ? / \ < > " | > *.
    Either copy the data off of the drive and use Apple's Disk Utility to erase the drive in Mac OS Extended format, or change the filenames of the documents that cannot be copied.

  • Can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone?

    I want to buy some songs from a HK Apple ID and a JP Apple ID.
    I just hope the songs of two Apple ID can appear in one iPhone.
    But I don't want can I sync the songs from two different Apple IDs (HK and JP) into one iPhone.

    Are you currently in Japan or Hong Kong ? You have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to buy or download from its store, that is included in the store's terms.
    You can sync content from different accounts from your computer's iTunes library.

  • Downloading songs from two different computers, and not recognizing songs

    On my home computer, I downloaded about 40 songs onto my IPod from CDs. Then, I installed the program on my work computer, and purchased four songs from ITunes. When I plug my IPod into my work computer, it is not recognizing the songs I downloaded from my home computer. However, if I plug my IPod into my work computer, I can listen to these four purchased songs, but once I try to listen to them without having it plugged into my work computer, only the songs I downloaded from home are on the IPod.
    Has this happened to anyone else who has tried to put songs from two different computers onto their IPod?

    Just to elaborate a bit, you need to copy the purchased files and put them on your home computer.
    Don't burn them as an audio CD as you will lose quality when you re-import them.
    You can use the Shuffle (instead of a CD) to do this

  • Home Sharing from two different Macs to a Media Center

    I am using an old G5 iMac as a Media Center in my basement. I have Home Sharing setup on my daughter's Macbook so that when she buys new music, movies or TV shows they automatically transfer to the Media Center iTunes Library. Is it possible to get my iMac iTunes to do the same thing at the same time? It seems like the Media Center will only Home Share with my daughter's Library and will not let me Home Share my Library. Can anyone tell if it it's possible to have two different accounts / libraries Home Sharing to a central iTunes Library?

    The simplest way is for you to select the entire listing in iTunes and drag all the songs out to a folder. This will copy them, not remove them from iTunes. Do the same on the other iTunes.
    Transfer the folder over to the new Mac, over a network, or burn them to a DVD.
    Now duplicate one of the folders (for safety reasons before proceeding).
    Open this duplicate folder. Open the other folder. Select all the tracks in this other folder and drag them to the new folder: When asked if you want to overwrite files of the same name choose 'Skip' and check 'Apply to all'.
    This will then move all files over except where there is already a file with that song title. If you have recordings of the same song by more than one artist you will have to sort that out manually.
    This done, open iTunes on the new computer, select all the files in the merged folder and drag them to the Music list.

  • Can I download songs from a different itunes account onto my ipod?

    Can I download songs from a different ipod account onto my ipod without affecting anything?

    Different account or different computer?  It is two completely seperate things.
    While it is possible to have media on the device from multiple accounts it is not possible to sync with multiple computers.

  • How can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing model? plss help

    how can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing relational/logical model? plss help
    note; I already have the relational/logical model ready from one schema... and I need to add few more tables to this relational/logical model
    can I import the same way as I did previously??
    but even if I do the same how can I add it in the model?? as the logical model has already been engineered..
    please help ...
    thanks

    Hi,
    Before you start, you should probably take a backup copy of your design (the .dmd file and associated folder), in case the update does not work out as you had hoped.
    You need to use Import > Data Dictionary again, to start the Data Dictionary Import Wizard.
    In step 1 use a suitable database connection that can access the relevant table definitions.
    In step 2 select the schema (or schemas) to import.  The "Import to" field in the lower left part of the main panel allows you to select which existing Relational Model to import into (or to specify that a new Relational Model is to be created).
    In step 3 select the tables to import.  (Note that if there are an Foreign Key constraints between the new tables and any tables you had previously imported, you should also include the previous tables, otherwise the Foreign Key constraints will not be imported.)
    After the import itself has completed, the "Compare Models" dialog is displayed.  This shows the differences between the model being imported and the previous state of the model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
    Just selecting the Merge button should apply all the additions and changes in the new import.
    Having updated your Relational Model, you can then update your Logical Model.  To do this you repeat the "Engineer to Logical Model".  This displays the "Engineer to Logical Model" dialog, which shows the changes which will be applied to the Logical Model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
    Just selecting the Engineer button should apply all the additions and changes.
    I hope this helps you achieve what you want.

  • I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers.

    I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers. and both are on a stable wireless connection

    Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
    For Home Sharing to work you need to
    File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
    You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
    Home sharing will then work

  • 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.

  • Using (Gmail) IMAP account from 2 different Macs using Mail ?

    Would it be feasible/useful to access an (Gmail) IMAP mail account from 2 different Macs using Mail on each Mac?
    My current situation:
    - My main computer is an iMac in my bedroom on which I use Mail for my Gmail IMAP account.
    - Sometimes (ex: late at night) I can't work from the bedroom and use a PowerBook and the web interface of Gmail. However, I don't like the threaded view for managing emails and therefore prefer the Apple Mail interface.
    Question:
    Would it make sense that I use Apple Mail on the PowerBook to access the Gmail account instead of using the web interface?
    What would be the inconveniences?

    Doing so is pretty easy, and standard. That is what IMAP accounts are for, and many computers can access the same account, and what email client they choose doesn't matter.

  • I want to transfer purchased song from mac to mac using home sharing but retain all the song modifications I have done

    I want to transfer purchased song from mac to mac using home sharing but retain all the song modifications I have done.  I am finding this very difficult

    If your intention is to copy a just documents and data (word processing files and music for example) then yes, you can use drag and drop. If you want to transfer data and applications and permissions, it would actually be easiest to connect the drive to your old computer and turn on TimeMachine. Once TM is finished, connect the drive to your new computer and restart it holding the option key to get into Recovery mode. Then you can use the restore from TM option to transfer your data and programs to the new computer.
