Hello! trying to sync my itunes library

Hi! am trying to figure out how to sync itunes that is on my portable drive driven by my macbook retina. My macbook retina is the main PC. My wife and childrens also have Macbook and one macbook air. I know they can access from library. I also have a network drive I want Itunes to sync whit the network drive, In a way what am trying to do is if I add a song on my Retina portable drive I like that it sync as well on the Network drive.

Are you using iTunes 10.7?  (This is required to sync the iPhont 5.)  If so, what happens when you try to sync your phone?  Any error messages?

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

    iCloud has nothing to do with your iTunes library sync. iTunes handles that.

  • I just purchased a Macbook, iPad, and iPhone and I am trying to sync my iTunes library from my Windows laptop.  How can I sync my iTunes library to all devices?

    I just recently purchased a MacBook Pro (13 inch with Retina display), an iPad Air 2, and an iPhone 6 plus.  Before these purchases, I was using a Windows 7 laptop to manage my iTunes library and iTunes purchases.  I am in need of syncing my iTunes library on my iPod classic (160 GB) with all of my new Apple devices.  How can I sync my iTunes library with all of my new devices?

    Devices can only sync to one library at a time. You can, however, have multiple copies of libraries on different computers though it can be tricky making sure they are always synchronized.  You can put your Windows iTunes on your Mac.
    Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
    When this is to a new computer put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • HT1848 I'm trying to sync my iTunes library to my new iPod Classic.

    Most of the songs sync fine, but 70 of them won't. An error message says the computer isn't authorized. It is. I tried to de-authorize it and then re-authorize it, but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

  • How can I sync my iTunes library with Sansa Rhapsody?

    I'm trying to sync my iTunes library with a Sansa Rhapsody, but the music player is not being recognized by iTunes. Is there a way to use iTunes with the Sansa?

    Although I suppose it's possible that there are some third party plug-ins (about which I know nothing), iTunes "out of the box" will not recognize a Sansa. It's worth noting that the Sansa doesn't support even unprotected AAC.
    I have one myself and they're not bad, other than the AAC thing.

  • How do i sync my itunes library with ATV gen1?

    I am trying to sync my itunes library with my Generation 1 Apple TV.  The directions I found on the Apple site said to go to the Summary tab under Apple TV in Devices in itunes.  No such tab exists, only Setting and Photos.  Can anyone help?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I'm not sure where you are looking but the first step to sync your library is performed from the Apple TV. Settings/Computers/connect to iTunes and follow on screen instructions. You can then go to iTunes on your mac/pc, select the device and set up your sync options.

    When you say a new user ID, are you referring to your Apple ID that you use to make purchases in the iTunes Store, etc? Or are you talking about a new user account on the same Mac?

  • I found my old iPod shuffle and thought I would sync my iTunes library onto it, now my laptop no longer recognises my ipad! Very frustrating!

    I found my old iPod shuffle (3rd gen) and thought I would sync my iTunes library onto it, iTunes wouldn't recognise it at first so following forums on here I managed to find some apple software to reset and update the shuffle! This worked and the iPod shuffle was then recognised by iTunes but now my laptop no longer recognises my ipad! Very frustrating!
    Please can some one help! I've been searching on here for a few days now and have tried numerous suggestions from other people's questions but nothing has worked yet!

    You can try this:
    I am assuming you are running Windows:
    Plug in your iPad to the PC.
    Now go to "Start"   - "devices and printers"
    Is your iPad showing there ?   (you may have to scroll down)
    If you can see it - right click the iPad icon and select "Troubleshoot"
    If the USB driver is missing/incorrect it will tell you.

  • Syncing one itunes library / account to multiple comp. using home sharing.

    Hi guys, just have a quick question. I am setting up a home network and am using a western digital external drive for time machine ( because I have heard that the time capsules are unreliable) for the computers in my home. (which is working great)
    I have successfully synced my itunes library and account on the computers in the network via the "home sharing" option. I have it set up so any changes I make to my itunes library ( add songs, apps exc.) it will copy them to my other computers libraries. Thus my itunes libraries are identical.
    Is there any way to sync my iphone on more than one computer? Could I use home share or some other app to accomplish this. That way I can sync my phone on my macbook and my desktop.
    Also is there any to sync the pictures to all my computers. (other than using mobile me)
    P.s: I am also using mobile me if that makes any difference.
    Thanks for your time and help,
    Noah

    When using homeshare, I realized I CANNOT buy new media thru itunes.
    When buying music, apps or video, the purchase fails.
    Says "contact itunes support to complete transaction".
    Tried several times.
    Even changed credit cards on the acct. Still no go.
    Not a credit card issue
    iTunes tech was pretty much clueless. Told me to try the purchase
    after waiting 24 hours.
    Then I started thinking about homeshare and media rights, so I turned off
    homeshare on both mac's, and the purchase went thru.
    Apple added homeshare to the latest itunes update, or media share (what ever they call it), but looks like something is at issue as to media rights and homeshare and buying from itunes with share is enabled.
