Cannot get my songs on second computer

Help. I downloaded itunes on my work computer, and thought it would open up and show all my downloads in the library. cannot get it to do so. any ideas? i only have one working computer at home with my library on it.

You iTunes library is only on the computer you put it on.
You need to copy \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ folder from your home computer to your work computer.

You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

HT1725 I currently have 57 songs listed under downloads and all have been in the processing stage. I have already been charged but cannot get the song to finish. Any suggestions?

Hi Little Orchard,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Are you downloading to a computer or an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch? I would first suggest signing out of the iTunes Store and restarting your computer or device. Then log in and look for your purchases again. If you are still not able to access your content the article below will get you connected with the iTunes Store Support.

Hi Dennis!
I have a couple of steps for you to try in order to get those songs transferred to your iPod touch. First, make sure all of your software is updated with the latest versions. If the songs were downloaded from iTunes, you will also want to delete the songs from your library and then download them again from the list of past purchases on your iTunes account. An article about doing that can be found here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you try a sync after those two steps and are still seeing the issue, then I would like you to try syncing the iPod by setting it to manually manage. An article outlining more information on manually managing your iPod sync can be found here:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
If you are still having issues after that, I have another article that can outline some other reasons why your songs may not transfer to your iPod, and it can be found here:

I have the iphone 5s. I cannot get the playlists from my computer to sync to iphone5s but it works just fine with my 4s. I have done everything, it has even deleted my playlists that I have had to re-do 3 times. UGH!!!! Please help!

Hey there rmflint,
It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

I have an iPod Classic and the latest version of iTunes. I make all my purchases on my computer, but when I try to click the "add to" option and transfer the songs to my iPod, it doesn't work. How can I get my songs from my computer to my iPod?

HT1386 We have more than one computer at home. How do we get the songs from each computer onto one I-Pod?

Copy the songs to a computer that is running iTunes, add those new tracks to the current library, and then synch those tracts to the iPod.
You might take a look at iTunes Help....

Cannot get old songs from my ipod onto my new computer. My old one crashed and now I only have these songs on this particular ipod.

Cannot get my ols songs off ipod onto new computer

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

I cannot get any sound on my computer

please tell me how to get sound back on for my laptop in clear, easy directions thank you

First, make sure it is not on mute
Do you get any error messages? What are you attempting to play? how long have you had the issue for?, did you recently add headphones or another audio output to your computer? What is the make and model?
Try this step first, well after checking mute
Sometimes it is necessary to do a hard reset to erase all of the information in the temporary memory and regain functionality of your PC when it stops responding. For example, doing a hard reset is helpful if your keyboard quits responding, you cannot get your PC to come out of hibernation or sleep mode, or if a software program causes the PC to freeze.
The hard reset will not delete saved files on the hard drive.
Performing a hard reset
To perform a hard reset, follow the steps below.
1-Unplug the AC adapter from the notebook PC and remove from any port replicator or docking station.
2-Remove the battery from the notebook battery compartment.
3-Press and hold down the power button for about 20 seconds.
NOTE: Holding down the power button while the computer is turned off drains any residual charge in the capacitors.
4-Insert the battery and plug the AC adapter back into the notebook PC.
5-Press the power button to turn the notebook PC back on.

Downloading songs from second computer

I have purchased and downloaded songs on my authorized cottage computer but cannot sync them to my ipod without losing all my songs. How do I get these songs onto my ipod and home computer. Home sharing is turned on and I have authorized both computers.(I have just figured out that for home sharing to work both computers need to be in the same house.) Am out of luck?

Not really, the Shuffle works differently from other iPods and is designed to be linked to only one computer. What is wrong with your CD drive?

Cant drag and drop songs on second computer

Hi all
I'm sure I've been throught the settings enough, but I cant seem to get this going. How do I drag and drop mp3's into my iphone from a second computer?
I'm travelling for a few weeks and can't seem to pull any of my music onto my iphone, its really annoying me!

Concur - just tested it.
It was never in doubt...
OK, so I have the same problem. I flush all the songs out so the shuffle is empty, click and drag a song to the ipod icone in the source pane, and as soon as the songgets on top of the ipod, the green arrow disappears and I am not allowed to add the song, either singly or in groups. Have all the latest software. Did the 5 R's.
Also, can't "Autofill from" anything but "MUSIC". It doesn't recognize any of my playlists, and nothing but "MUSIC" appears in the pop-up menu.
Now what?

I have music on my phone that will not show in my iTunes library, so I cannot play those songs from my computer.

I am having a list of problems with my phone. First, my music keeps starting and stopping and I can't get a song to play through. I went to the apple store and they told me I have some kind of damage so my dock connector thinks it's connected or something. In any case, I have a lot of trouble playing music through my iHome since it is connected by bluetooth and my phone no longer likes to play music. So I've resorted to playing music off my computer through my iTunes library until my phone upgrade is available. Today, I ran into the issue where I noticed I was missing songs from my iTunes library. I checked on my phone and they were on there, so I'm confused why they are not in my library. Shouldn't they be synced?? I'm absolutely perplexed, and I just keep running into problem after problem. Can anyone help as I can't get phone support without giving Apple more money?? Thanks!

You probably purchased those songs on your iPhone and never transferred them to your computer. You can do so by following these instructions:
