Can i transfer my library from one computer to another

Have two different computers with two different accounts how do I make them one?

Hello Suzy,
It sounds like you have different iTunes Libraries on two computers and you would like to merge them.  I recommend using the Home Sharing option in the article below to have both computers import each other's music.
You will have to perform step 11 on both computers.  You can find the steps in the section titled "Home Sharing" in the following article:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer

I also recommend reviewing this article for additional information about Home Sharing:
iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

    How do I transfer itunes library/playlists from one computer to another

    See this User Tip for a suggested technique for backing up the library. You can use the same tool to "restore" the library into a new computer and then maintain an ongoing backup.

  • Can I transfer rented movies from one computer to another?

    I am posting this message as every time I try to transfer rented movies from my PowerBook to my iPod get the following message.
    Attempting to copy to the disk "Michael Graham's iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
    I have gotten this message with an iPod Classic, as well as an iPod Touch, so don't think it is the iPod, but can not be sure of that. Also have posted a message about this in past, but none of the suggestions seemed to help. In addition Apple seems to be no help. In any event if I use my dad's Mac Mini to transfer the rented movie I do not get this message. In any event I just wonder if their is any way to transfer rented movies from one my laptop to his desktop, so I then came transfer to my iPod Touch.
    Thanks in advance

  • Can I use my iPhone to transfer my library from one computer to another?

    I would like to transfer my iTunes library from my desktop to my laptop. Is there an easy way to do this by using my iPhone? I found instructions for how to do it with an iPod but I wasn't sure if that would be the same for iPhone.

    Here's an article that may help. As roaminggnome said, you cannot use the iPhone for this.

  • How can I transfer an iPhone from one computer to another?

    Hi all!
    So, I got my boyfriend an iPhone 4 last year and his computer was so outdated that he could not sync it with his computer.  We recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (no Lion for us yet) for both his and my computer and now he can sync his phone with his own computer.  Before, he could not back up his contacts in his address book, or his calendar, etc.  So anyway, when I plug in his phone to the computer, it recognizes it, but will not allow me to create a backup in his iTunes.  It will also not let me "assign" the phone to the computer.  Any suggestions?  Also, even if I do a complete restore, how can I add the stuff backed up to his iCloud once it's restored?  Any help would be great.  Thanks!

    Unless you moved the Domain file, that's its default location. Make sure you're looking in the Library folder in your Home folder rather than Macintosh HD. See also THIS recent post.

  • Transfer iPhoto library from one computer to another

    I have many photos in my PowerBook G4 library. They are arranged in many folders. I have recently acquired another Mac using the same OS X 3.9. I have not been succesful in tgransfering my iPhoto library to the new computer. I did copy the entire library to an external drive and then copied it into the Pictures folder of the new computer. When I start iPhoto the new computer does not recognize the library.
    Could somebody please tell me if there is a way around this?
    Thanks,
    Pierre

    Hello EWW:
    Before telling you more about my problem, allow me to make three comments:
    1) I have never been a member of a discussion forum and am amazed that somebody (you) took an interest in my problem. Thanks a lot!
    2) I have been a PC person all my life. The reason I now have 2 Macs is that I inherired them when my son was killed in an airplane accident a short while ago. Although I have learned a lot about the Macs I will need a lot of TLC to get up to speed.
    3) I use the notebook primarily for internet access and I intend to use the desk top unit for photography. I just acquired a copy of Photoshop CS2 for it.
    Here is the background you requested about:
    1) Both computers run iPhoto 2.0.1. {Is it worthwhile upgrading?}
    2) On the laptop the file “Pictures” contains a single file which is called “iPhoto Library”. {Can I have several library files? How do I do that?}
    3) I copied the iPhoto Library file to an external hard drive and then transferred it to the new computer.
    4) The new computer also had an iPhoto Library file in the Pictures folder. I deleted this file and replaced it with the newly transferred file.
    5) When I double-click on the iPhoto icon (in the dock) it tells me that the “Photo library”, the “Last Import” and the “Trash” are all empty.
    6) When I open the iPhoto Library using Finder>>Pictures>iPhoto Library I find that my pictures are there, but there are no Albums.
    Question: Is there a way that I can connect the two computers directly and use Import?
    Thanks for your help

  • HT4527 I completed all of the steps to transfer my library from one computer to another through home sharing, but the "Import" button is faded like I cannot use it and it won't let me import and complete the final step. How do I fix this?

    Its in the title.

    Nothing in the instructions about transferring via "HomeSharing" states to use the Import button.
    Have you actually read the instructions?
    What specific step are you having an issue with?
    The article from which your question was posted provides details on how to transfer the iTunes library multiple ways, did you try one of the other methods?

  • Can I transfer an application from one computer to another?

    My school uses InDesign CS4 to do newspaper layout in journalism class, and my teacher (an old ****) just upgraded his home desktop from Mac 9 to Snow Leopard. Before this year's much-needed upgrade, all of the computers in the class were running Mac 9, and layout was done on some archaic version of PageMaker. Any work on the layout that wasn't finished in class was finished by my teacher on his home computer.
    Anyway, now that we've upgraded the layout process, he also needs to catch up at home, so is there a way I can simply copy (or drag and drop) the InDesign application from the school computer to an external and then reinstall it on his new home computer? Can that be done with any application?
    Thanks for any/all input!

    That is an issue that you should take up with Adobe. Aside from the piracy issues involved with copying a legal installation to a possible illegal installation, I believe that Adobe uses serial codes unique to each of their apps that you need in order to activate a legal installation of their software. Their apps are very complicated as well and usually need to be installed by their proprietary installer app from their installation DVD to make sure that you have all of the pieces in their correct location.
    Welcome to the 21st Century by the way with Snow Leopard.

    Lisa,
    Just get copies of the song files and add them to your iTunes library.  With the exception of any DRM-protected files (purchased before mid-2009 and never upgraded) they will play fine, even though they are technically associated with the original account.

I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer. If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.

    Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.
