Can I move songs from one computers library to another?

Hi I have an Ipod that my husband originally set up on his computer. I have since set it up on my computer and I have a separater library. Can I plug in the Ipod to my computer and download the library that was on his computer. If so, how. Thank you for any suggestions and help.

Place the iPod in disk mode, drag songs from one computer to it's icon in the My Computer window, and on the other machine, drag the songs to the hard disk and then into the iTunes library.

Can I move "keepsakes" from one iPhoto library to another?

For one reason or another a specific "keepsake" photobook was created in an iPhoto library that only contained a subset of all my photos. Now I would like to integrate this specific photobook into the iPhoto library that contains ALL my photos, such that all keepsakes are together.
Is there a way, even a work-around or a round-about way that this specific keepsake photobook can be moved into the overall library?
Thanks for any pointers/suggestions/advice.
Cheers,
Veit

No, there is no way to move a keepsake from one Library to another.

How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another? My daughter has an iTouch, and I was managing it through my library. I have created an iTunes account for her, with a new iTouch, and would like to move the apps over. I tried to sync the old iTouch to the new library and it said it was already set up to sync with a different library. What is the best way to do this?

You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
To make the new computer the syncing computer you have to:
- Transfer iTunes purchases lIke I described above
- Make a backup of the iPod on that computer by connecting the iPod and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
- Restore the iPOd from that backup
She will have to continue to use your iTunes ID to update the apps prchased with your account. To use her account she will have to log into the computer with her account (iTunes>Store) and change the sign in on the iPod by going to Settings>Store.

Can I move music from one apple account to another?

Typically not. Consider the case where you used an Apple account (call it A1) to purchase songs from iTunes. Now you are interested in moving your music to account A2. Well A2 does not own the music - A1 does. So that's a problem.

How do I copy songs from one itunes library to another itunes library on the same computer?

I want to share some songs in my iTunes library with my granddaughter's iTunes library, both of which are located on the same computer. I managed to copy one of the songs through Finder to the location where the music resides, but it doesn't appear when I access her iTunes. Can someone tell me an easy way to copy only certain songs from one iTunes library to another iTunes library on the same computer?

Can ypou move songs from one ipod to another?

Is there a way to move songs from one way to another, if so can you tell me.

Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
More information is contained here.

HT2688 How can I "click and drag" songs from one shared library to another?

I have home sharing activated on my mom's computer and mine and before the newest version of itunes, we were able to click and drag songs from one users' library into the other. We are not able to do that now and I wanted to know if there was a way to do this in the newest version of itunes.

I am using a Windows computer first off, not sure if that makes a difference, When you say "click import" where is import. I can not find anything that says "import" to click.

How do I transfer songs from one iTunes library to another?

My husband and I each have our own iBook G4 and iPod mini's. I need to get songs from his itunes library (mostly downloaded from cd's) to mine so that I can put together a playlist for his surprise 50th birthday party. What's the easiest and quickest way of doing this?

Hi, Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I think that the fastest way is:
- connect the 2 iBooks using the Airport Extreme Card or the Ethernet
- open finder then select network and select the remote computer
- open iTunes, select your tracks and then drag them into the shared folder... that's it! You have just transfered your music to the other iBook and now you can create your playlist using iTunes.
If you don't know how to create a private network or something else, post another message... bye!

Digital movie download - can I move it from one iTunes file to another?

I have gotten several new Blu-ray and DVD sets for Christmas. Included is a digital copy which can be downloaded. Once I download and move it to iTunes, can I export that from one iTunes file on my Mac to another Mac which I own? I haven't been able to find a relevant post.

CWmain, this is something I'm keen to know too. I've got the new Star Trek and Transformers 2 Blu-ray discs with digital copies. I was hoping I could download the movies to my Mac Pro by redeeming the codes supplied with the discs and once downloaded just copy the resulting download files across to my MacBook Pro. I'm hoping that because both machines are authorised with my iTunes account it should just 'work'. Can anyone confirm this is correct before I go ahead?

Can I move system from one hard drive to another?

I am using 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro dual quad core. My hard drive is failing and I want to put the contents including applications and system components on the new drive. I think I have Lepord disks and thought I had Snow lepard disk, but cannot find those. What do I need to do???

Clean install? you need the DVD.
Clone the system: you are fine and you can break it up like most here - system on one drive, data on 2nd
And... you need backups. Clone the system. Use TimeMachine. Have a strategy and redundancy so more than one place and copy. And rotate and buy new drives before they go and have backup and spare on hand.
Consider an SSD for the system, best $104 investment with return on performance.
Clone
Disk utility has RESTORE which will also clone your system but not the Lion Recovery partition. Oddly Apple did not 'endorse' making bootable clone of the system which works too but most choose Carbon Copy Cloner - it works more consistently; it allows for smart update of the backup volume. Both can backup to a sparse disk image if desired.

Can I move Array from one Xserve RAID to another and keep the data

I'd like to move a set of disk with an existing Array from one Xserve RAID to another. Can I simply shutdown both Xserve RAIDs and move the disk over, assuming I put the disk back in the same order?

Yes, you should be able to do this.
BE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP FIRST.

How do I move photos from one aperture library to another?

How do I move photos from one library to another?
Currently I Export to a new temporary library which I import to the other library but It feels kind of a hackish way to do it.
Thanks

That is the way it is set-up to be done (at least for Projects as Libraries).
The only other option is to export master or version (depending on what you want) and then import to other library.

How can you move pages from one Muse site to another Muse site?

I am trying to move pages from one Muse sitemap page to another Muse sitemap. This is so I can have multiple people working on creating hundreds of project profile pages and then transfer them into the master file that will be the final site.

In this case your best bet would be to have the other people just provide content without the template and then you can just plug content in rather than doing a select all.
You can open up both your site and their site at the same time in Muse to help the copying process.

How to move pictures from one photo library to another

I really don't want all my daughter's iPhone selfies in our family Photo library, but I'd like to be able to move/copy some pictures from our family vacation from her library to mine. Can I do that with the new Photos? Is there a setting somewhere that will automatically import her iPhone pictures into her Photos library when her phone is plugged into our family Mac?

The app will import to the Library that's open, so make sure hers is open.
Currently there is no way rot move between libraries except by exporting from one and importing to the other.
