Can my ipod download music from both a windows and mac based computer.

My son and I have new video ipods. He works on a Mac and I have a windows computer. He would like to load some music from my computer (windows) itune file onto his (Mac based) ipod. Can he do this? If so, how?

Not sure what you are saying. You can install and activate on 2 systems, but generally standalone installs have platform-specific serials and can only be installed eitehr on Windows or Mac, not both. However, your description seems to indicate a TLP volume license, so that would be possible.

  • HT4557 question! do you have to actually be at home, like using the same wi-fi network as the computer? or can you stream this music from somewhere else? and does the computer need to be one?

    for example, can you be using another wi-fi network, for example in another country? and still stream music from my mac to ipad for free? and does the mac have to be on?

    You could use something like Splashtop Remote Desktop on your Mac and iPad. This streams your Mac's desktop to your iPad so you can have full access to everything on your Mac anywhere in the world, as long as your Mac is turned on and connected to a network and your iPad has a data connection. It can stream full audio and video from your Mac. It is not exactly home sharing but it does what you want fairly well, with the added bonus of being able to use your Mac from anywhere. Search for Splashtop on the App store for more information. It normally sells for around $10 but is frequently on sale for as low as 99c, so have a look and see if it's for you while you wait for it to go on sale. I can confirm this works as I use it daily to work on my Mac from my iPad while at work.

  • 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?

    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.

  • HT1725 I can no longer download music from itunes store.  Happened when I was Downloading from songs dragged from itunes store to a playlist.  I tried to downloaad more than one at a time.  The download stopped.  Now I can not download at all.

    I can no longer download music from itunes store.  It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist.  I tried to download more than one at a time.  It stopped.  Now I cant download at all.  Even rebooted my machine. 

    OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
    Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
    The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

  • HT5318 i just got the new iphone 5 and i can't download music from my 10.5.8 mac HELP!

    i just got the new iphone 5 and i can't download music from my 10.5.8 mac HELP!

    You would need to buy a new operating system (Snow leopard 10.6.x, or higher).
    Before doing that, it would be best to check to see if your Mac can run the higher operating system.
    Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information into a reply here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

  • I downloaded music from iTunes years ago, and haven't accessed it since. How do I get back into my old account? Thanks

    I downloaded music from iTunes years ago and haven't accessed it since. How do I get back into my account? Thanks.

    If you are logged in with the same account that you bought them with, and they are still in your country's store and you haven't moved countries since buying them, then they might show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app for redownloading, and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes. If not all show there then check to see if you've hidden any of them : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    If they are no longer in the store or you've moved countries then do you have a copy of them anywhere ? If you still have the iPod with them on then you can connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to your iTunes library so that you can take a backup copy and sync them to your iPad.

  • Can I have my registered CS6 software installed on both a windows and mac simultaneously?

    How many computers can I have my registered CS6 software simultaneously installed on? If it is just one computer and I wish to install it on another one, I assume I need to uninstall on the original first and simply repeat the installation process?
    One more question: Since the software came with two installation discs, (windows and mac), does that mean I can simultaneously use the software on a windows computer and mac computer?
    Thank you.

  • Help please with ipods dock windows and mac based

    Hello everyone,
    I have an ipod but want to upload from two different locations. I found out from a reply from a previous question that I can do that but my problem seems to be that I have a windows based laptop at home but at my other location in my office I am using a Mac. From what I read I can not do this from one location to the other without reformating my ipod everytime which would be useless to me sense I do not have the same music or do all of my purchases from one location. Is this possible to upload from a windows and mac computer from two different locations or is this impossible? Thanks in advance!!!

    Probably the easiest way to use an iPod on both Mac and Windows computers is to format the iPod (using iPod Updater) using the PC. This will force your iPod to use the Windows file system (FAT32) which both the Mac and PC can read from and write to without the help of additional software. Of course then all your software updates for the iPod will have to be done on Windows.

If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.
    Then see this.

  • Can I re download music from Itunes even thought I didn't back up my stuff?

    I can redownload stuff I have purchased yet I didn't no backed it up. Is this true?
    Let's say there is no back up and I have purchased stuff like music and I restore my Ipod touch. Even thought on my itunes account I have purchased them.

    Most items can be downloaded repeatedly at no charge.  I believe that the only items that can not be downloaded again are audio books.
    Found the link.  Read this.

  • How can i get my music from my itunes onto my mac itunes

    is there a way where i can get my music from my old pc's onto my macbook pro itunes?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library, though you'll need to find a different tool such as Carbon Copy Cloner for the Mac.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • Can i import my music from my iphone to my Mac?

    Hey Guys,
    Struggling a bit here, have tried to search other posts but with no luck. Basically, i recently spilt a pint of water over my PC, completely ruining it. Luckily insurance paid out and I used the money to put towards a new Mac. Basically, I want transfer the music I have on my iPhone to my new iTunes Library..
    is there anyway of doing this? Every time i go near the sync button i get warned that my iPhone will be replaced with the Mac's library (which is nothing).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    The question is in regards to your computer's backup - for the PC that was ruined, which should include your iTunes library along with all other important data such as photos, documents, etc.
    Did you lose all data that was stored on your PC's hard drive, or you have a backup for your computer but it doesn't include your iTunes library?
    The iPhone's backup that is created and maintained by iTunes does not include all data stored on your iPhone. It doesn't include any iTunes content including 3rd party apps, which should remain in your iTunes library on your computer which should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data.
    The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device.
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so. With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    If a 3rd party app does not transfer, you can re-download the app with iTunes on your new computer and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.
    Photos that are transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process. The original resolution of these photos is reduced, which is why transferring these photos in the opposite direction is not supported by Apple. Photos on your computer's hard drive should be included with your computer's backup.
    There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring iTunes content that was not purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store and for photos that were transferred from your computer, but such utilities are not supported by Apple, and the original resolution of the photos that were transferred from your computer to your iPhone will be lost in the process.
    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos that were transferred from a different computer will be erased from your iPhone first.
    Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your Mac, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on your Mac. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. Syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • I want to synchronise music I have between ipnone 3g and macbook pro - I am told if I synchronise I will only have the music from my macbook and will lose my iPhone music of which there is much more.  How do I get all my music on both my iPhone and mac bo

    I want to have all my music on my iphone and macbook (and pc if possible) but when I try to synchronise I am told I will lose any music from my iphone which is not on my macbook (there is much more on my iphone than my macbooK).  How do I keep all my downloaded and copied music and have it available on both machines (plus pc if possible)?

    The music sync is one way only - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases: Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purcahses
    The iphone will sync with only one copmptuer at a time.  Sycning with another will erase the current content of the iphone and replace it with content from the new computer.

  • How can i get my music from my android to my mac iTunes

    i have an android phone and i have gotten some music from the google play store and i want to know how do i get it to download to my iTunes on my mac...... can anyone help?

    Well, it won't involve iTunes until you actually have gotten the files off the device.  iTunes will only sync Apple devices.  Presumably there is some way to get files off an Android but you'd be better off asking on an Android forum on their support web site, or maybe asking in the OSX forum for the version you run.  What happens if you plug it into  computer?  Do you see a lit of files you can copy onto the computer?
