Can I put music from 2 libraries on one device?

My mom has a ton of music on her own iTunes library. I recently made my own iTunes library and I have a lot of music on that I also like. Can I take some of my moms music an some of mine and put them all on my phone and ipod? Maybe with home sharing. Different computers also.

Hello Lmboyer04,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
In order to be able to add content from multiple iTunes Libraries to your device, you will need to manage the content manually. See the following article for more information on this process:

How can I put music from my itunes on to my husband's phone but NOT backup his phone on my computer

How can I put music from my computer on to my husband's Iphone without doing a backup of his phone on my computer? All I want to do is add music to his iphone for him...not backup or sync his phone... thanks

Does your husband have his own computer/iTunes account? If so, the easiest way is to turn on Home Sharing, transfer whatever you want from your library to his library & then sync it to his phone on his computer:

HT1386 Hi the question I have is. Can I put music from my IPad to my iPod?

Hi the question I have is. Can I put music from my IPad to my iPod?

Not directly no, you will need to sync it via your computer's iTunes. If they are iTunes purchases which are not yet on your computer's iTunes then you should be able to copy them over your computer via File > Transfer Purhcases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes on your computer)

Can I put music from iPod Shuffle, synced to computer A, onto iPhone4, synced to computer B?

Can I put music from old iPod Shuffle, synced to computer A, onto new iPhone4, synced to computer B? Both devices and both computers belong to me. Computers are not on same LAN.

You can if the music was puchased with the same AppleID.
Synch the iPod Shuffle with computer B to get it's songs onto that computer. Then resynch the iPhone4 to computer B.

Can I access music from multiple accounts on one cpu

Here's one option: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12366
But frankly you'd be better off creating unique user accounts on the computer and having seperate iTunes libraries for each user as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495

We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

There is no "adding" a device. Simply plug the iDevice into the computer. iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

Leave the music in iTunes.
I put the music from a file of my computer in the library in itunes...then I organize all the musci by artist, year,etc.
What do you mean you organized it? iTunes does all the for you.
Did you mess with the folders after you added to the iTunes library? If so, iTunes will lose track of it.
the thing is that I want to put the music of my computer in the library of itunes because all the musci files are organized
Then why did you delete all the music?

If you are using 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.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), 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 can be messy.
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 and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.

How can I put music from Itunes on my MP3 player?

The format that downloads from Itunes is not working when I try to add music to my MP3 Player instead of my Ipod. Is there a way to add music to an MP3 Player?
I am assuming the format that downloads to ITunes isn't compatable. Any way to change this? Thanks!!!

I have this question as well, I would like to transfer my music from itunes to an SD card so I can listen to it in my new car. Can anyone help?

I can't put music from my iphone into itunes

After having to restore my library there are songs that are on my iphone that aren't on the library, and whenever I plug my iphone into itunes it wants to do a restore which would make me lose all the music and my data. Is there a way I can get the music onto my computer and into itunes without having to restore the iphone? Is it a problem with the phone?

Not necessrily, you just need to find a 3rd party program to transfer content that is ripped or purchased outside of iTunes.

I need to clear space on my mac and have 2 other devices I need space on- IpHone and Ipad. I have Itunes match. If I delete the library from my computer, how can I play music from the cloud on all devices. S

I am almost out of space on my mac and Ipad. Need to clear songs off, but afraid I won't be able to listen without going to my external hard drive. I have Itunes match but don't know how they are accessed from the cloud. Thoroughly confused and frustrated. Hope someone can help.
Another question is my Iphotos are taking up tons of space and I don't know if they are in cloud or best way to back up. Any thoughts?

If you have iTunes Match, and your music is in your Match library, you can access it from iCloud on all your devices, provided they are signed into your iTunes Match account. Make sure you keep a backup of your music somewhere though as the match process isnt' perfect and you may find that some of your iTunes Match music isn't exactly the same as the original (see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112).
The best way to back up your photos is to import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. If you are out of room on your Mac, get an inexpensive external drive to save your photos on.

Can I share music from my home computer (one apple id) to my kids computer (different apple id)?

My kids just got new iphones and had to create their own apple ids. Is there a way for them to be able to share my music from my main computer in the house which is under a different apple id?

Yes you can do that, it doesn't matter what ID's are used for the iTunes Store, you just need to use the same ID for home sharing on all devices.
