Can you copy music to an iPhone from a shared library?

My main iTunes library is held on my iMac, but it's location means that it's not that convenient for me to use it as the primary computer to administer my iPhone with. I also have a Macbook Air which I'd like to use to administer the phone, but it's only a 128Gb model so don't want to fill it or waste storage by duplicating my music library.
The Macbook is connected to the iMac's music library using home sharing, but does anyone know that if I set the phone up on the Macbook, would I be able to copy music onto it from the shared library, or am I restricted to that which is on the local Macbook library.
Thanks in advance,

Are you both using different Apple ID on iTunes?

Import your music to iTunes then sync your iPhone to iTunes.

Hello weeshaza,
It sounds like you are wanting to sync more than 1 device to your iTunes Library. This article will help you do that:

Can't put music on my iphone from itunes after updating my phone.

I updated my iphone and now I can't put music from my itunes on to my phone. It also won't attomatically backup to the computer like it normally would before. How do you fix this?

Yes.

I recently downloaded music onto my iphone from another itunes library

but my own itunes library isn't letting my download it, how do I put the music onto my own library?

From another iTunes library of yours that is available on another computer that you own?
If so and the music was purchased from the iTunes store with the same iTunes account, iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was downloaded from the iTunes store only. The computer you are wanting to transfer the iTunes store purchased content to must be authorized with the same iTunes account with iTunes.
If not from your iTunes library and iTunes account on another computer that you own, what you are wanting to do amounts to stealing.

Can you add items to your iPad from your iTunes library through home sharing?

Sorry I'm a novice to this.
Say I have a video in my iTunes library and I would like to add it to my iPad so I can watch it when I'm not at home without hooking the iPad up to my PC and syncing.
Can I do this through home sharing?
Thanks

Sorry, I miss-typed in my previous post. I meant to say you can't use homesharing to transfer content. (dictation got it wrong, but I should have checked). In order to transfer content from your iTunes library to your iPad, you would need to connect it to your computer via USB or Wi-Fi if you have Wi-Fi syncing enabled.
To enable Wi-Fi syncing you must first connect your iPad to your computer with the USB cable and then turn Wi-Fi syncing on in the settings within iTunes.

How do I add music to my iPod from a shared library?

This used to be simple. Now with the new iTunes it is driving me bonkers. My music library is on my old G4. I share that music with my Macpro laptop. I used to move a song to my laptop library. Then I could drag it to my ipod.
My new iPOd touch needed the new iTunes. I upgraded the laptop. Now I can view/play my shared library. I can't drag music to the library of my laptop though.
HELP. What is the workaround?

Thanks for the info...sounds like it might work. So just to clarify because I am NOT a computer whiz...by changing the setting it will keep my old downloads on my ipod and now I can download new music with my new computer and add them to my ipod. My old stuff will not be lost. When I was on my new computer there was a button that said, "On this ipod"...I could see all of my old music, but wasn't able to make new playlists or manage them in any way. Will I be able to manage them? Or will they be "frozen" so to speak?
Also, where do I look for this setting?
Thanks so much for your time!

Can you copy music and apps from one iTunes account to another?

My nephew got an iPod touch for Christmas and for some reason my husband decided to add it as a new device to my iTunes account and purchased games and music and put these onto the iPod. So now he has access to my password, etc.
What I really want to do is set up a new iTunes account for my nephew, but will I be able to transfer his games and music purchased under my account onto his new account or will we lose them all?

This Apple article will walk you through changing the Apple ID -> iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store account
And this one will walk you through creating a new account -> iTunes: How to set up an iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
You won't be able to transfer the apps to the new account, you'll have to purchase them again with the new account.

Can't add music to my iphone from new computer

Thanks

What happens when you try?

Can you run 2 Apple TV's from one iTunes Library?

Is it possible to run two ATV's at the same time? If I bought a second ATV for my bedroom, will I be able to sync or stream it from the existing Itunes library? If yes, can can both ATV's be running at the same time?
Thanks.

If you are streaming from both pc's at the same time your network needs to shift twice as much information as before, the slowest network which would likely be an all wifi g network should easily cope with 2 tv's, but in circumstances where there is already quite a few other devices using the network, distances are quite large and interference might be a factor, the added throughput from a second tv might begin to push things to the limit.
Don't let me put you off, as I say 2 tv's shouldn't be a problem for most networks, I just didn't want you unaware that you should think about whether your network is already stretched or not.

How can I copy music from iTunes to a 2nd iPhone 5?

I have my own iPhone 5 that i have synced and set up with my itunes on my macbook pro. My wife recently got an iphone 5 (thru her work) that i want to copy music from my itunes library to her phone. We share the same itunes acct and she is able to make purchases with it and download songs that i have purchased via itunes to her phone. I would like to manage and copy over addiontal music (most of which i had bought on my own and imported into itunes) and copy playlists etc to her phone.
She has not synced her phone to my (or any) computer. When i hook up her iphone to my macbook and open itunes, it prompts me to "set up new iphone" either as a brand new phone or from a backup. can i get around this, so i can manage the music on her iphone without deleting and "setting up from scratch her phone"? I have read that i can manually manage everything on her phone separately from my phone... so her apps aren't on my phone and vice versa? I really just want to put my music on there.
I have heard of some other apps (ie songbird) but prefer to keep everything working under itunes.
Thanks

Not brand new... New to that Mac's iTunes. For registration if you will...
Setup the iPhone as a new device to get past the initial part. iTunes will know that the device is already set up and you can go from there.
