Copying music between my devices

My iTunes library on my MacBook is made up of my CD's that I copied to it. I synced them successfully with my iPhone. Now I want to sync them with my iMac. How do I do this?

You can't "sync" them to your iMac in the same way you sync them to your phone. You will have to copy them there. There are many ways to do this, but the easiest way is with Home Sharing:

Copying them from your iPod is possible, but it requires third party software that costs money.

Sharing music between two devices, iPhone & iPod Touch

I have a company iPhone with all of my music bought through iTunes. I just bought an iPod touch and need to know if I can share my music and apps between both devices. I want my iPod to use my yahoo account as the default mail app and the iPhone needs to keep my company Outlook mail. How do I set this up? If I go into an apple store, will they help me/

- For this:
Thank you very much! I just need to be sure my texts from my work iPhone don't show up on the iPod. I can turn off the iMessage app
Go to Settings>Messages>Send and receive and make sure you emaill address and phone number do not appear. Delete them if necessary. You can then add her own email address so you can message her.
- The iPod will only use a phone number for Messages if the Account used to set up the iPod includes an iPhone and the iPod has iOS 6. You can't add non-iPhone number to Messages on an iPod.

Why did only some songs transfer and how can I get the songs missing from both my iPod and Mac on both of the devices? Thank you!

Unable to copy music between PC's using homesharing

I have been trying to copy my iTunes library from my desktop PC to my new laptop using home sharing. I can see my laptop library on my old PC but cannot see my PC library on the laptop which is where I am trying to transfer the music to. Some of the music has been transfered earlier however using home sharing.

Can't copy music between Mac and Windows

Here's my configuration:
PC: Windows 7, Itunes 10.7
Mac: 10.6.8, Itunes 10.7
Both are on the same minor release, 21
The behavior I'm observing:
I use Home Sharing from both computers, using the same Apple ID on both.
On the PC, I can see the Mac's music library, and I can copy items from that library to the PC. I cannot copy an item from the PC to the Mac
On the Mac, I can see the PCs library listed, but when I click on it, it acts as though it's making a connection, but the connection never completes.
I have attempted to do this with two separate Apple IDs. This worked just fine before the iTunes 10.7 installation.
Any thoughts on what might be going on?

Yes, both are authorized.
I tried exporting the "Library" on the PC (that's where 95% of the tunes are) and imported them onto the Mac and only the tunes that are resident on the Mac show up in the imported list. It does show ALL the playlists but like I said, only those songs that are already resident on the Mac show up.

How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

Assuming you are not manually managing your music, verify the following:
You are using the latest version of iTunes
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct, sync your phone.

HT1386 How do I copy music from an old iPod? Why do you have to make things so difficult? These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them. I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems.

How do I copy music from an old iPod? Why do you have to make things so difficult? These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them. I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems. I used to be able to do this until you "improved" things.

Thanks, Deggie. I thought Apple would see my feedback. I would just like to know if there is a simple way to copy just a few music files from an old iPod. I saw instructions on how to copy all of them from the iPod but it was complicated and I really didn't want to copy all the songs. I guess I could delete all the songs but the ones I want to copy then go through that process again. Do you know how to back up music to my computer? I don't want to have to go through this again and possibly lose music.

E51 can not copy music to device with Ovi Suite

I have music files on my computer and I'm trying to copy them to my phone using Ovi Suite.
According to Ovi Suite's instructions, to do this manually I have to choose the music file and select Tools - Copy to device. But this option can not be chosen after selecting a music file (it stays gray) Why is that?
The E51 should have enough memory left for the music, but it does not have a memory card. Is that the problem?

Hi Seimussier,
Yes you are right, you cant copy music files to the phone memory through the OVi suite. It need a memory card for that purpose.
In case if you want an alternative you can go through your explorer, open your device memory and paste your music files.
Once you finish transfering your music files, disconnect your device, open your music player and update your Music library. Now you should be able to see your music files.
Note: Through this method you can only transfer your music files, but cant convert the same in case if it is not supported by the phone

I want to copy music from my iTunes library to a usb device for playing in radio with a usb input?

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) Processor 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 I would like to copy music from my iTunes library to a usb device (Transcend 8GB) for playing in my Kenwood KDC - 258U. I am having trouble with the radio recognizing music on the Transcend usb. Suggestions?

Thank you for your reply. I finally figured out that I needed to use the disk utility and erase using the MS-DOS (FAT) option and making sure there were no other partitions. Then I simply used finder to tag music in my iTunes library and drag them to my USB drive. Most of my music is MP3 although my Kenwood will read several formats.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue.

iTunes content can be commingled in the iTunes library on a computer and synced to iOS devices. The computer must be authorized to use the content from the respective Apple IDs in the iTunes Store menu.

Can I Sharing Music Between I-tunes Libraries

Hope someone can help.........
I recently copied our itunes music from our desktop to our laptop. Kids can used the desktop and we will use the laptop. I have "authorized" the new laptop to purchase and play itunes music. If our daughter purchases a song on her account using the desktop, can I then also pull that new song from her library onto our ipod?
In other words, if I merely plug our ipod into her desktop, can I pull that song out for me since I paid for it? Can ipods accept music from more than one computer? Hope this makes sense.
Thank you.

*if I merely plug our ipod into her desktop, can I pull that song out for me since I paid for it?*
Yes you can. You can also copy purchases from one computer to another (you can authorise up to 5 computers to play your purchases). iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
*Can ipods accept music from more than one computer?*
If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod
