How can I add music from a shared library to my own library ?

I'm trying to add 4 songs, that were newly purchased, from my dad's computer to mine. the only problem i have with home sharing, is that i cannot drag the music over to my library or i dont know how to add it to my library. I have searched the iTunes Help Center and iTunes Support, but neither have helped me solve this issue.
If i cannot find a solution, i will resolve to add it through a memory stick. But i hope there is another way to fix this, as i wish it could add automatically.

Hello leendo
As long as you have Home Sharing setup with the same Apple ID, then you should see an option to import the tracks in when selecting the songs that you want. Check out the article below to get that sorted out.

    What have you tried, and do you receive an error message?
    In general, itunes has DRM (copy protection) so it will only work according to the license... and as far as I know, Apple's license does not allow use in a new product, only in the Apple player... new product being the video you want to create

  • With ios 7 how can I add videos from a shared photostream to my camera roll?

    When I am viewing a shared photostream that I subscribe to I am able to select photos and add them to my camera roll (essentially saving someone's shared photos to my device).  Now that you can add videos to shared photostreams with ios 7 I was hoping to be able to do the same with videos.  However, when I view a shared vieo and attempt to save it to my camera roll it is not an option.  Any ideas on how to do this?

    To save photos/video from the photo stream to your camera roll, select it, click the share button, and select "save to camera roll". It will remain in the photo stream as well, until you delete it.

  • How can I add music from my Itunes to a slideshow?

    I am having trouble adding music to a slideshow I created. When I click on the "add audio" it takes me to a screen where I can open my itunes but then it says the folder is empty.  Does it not recognize the itunes format?

      It’s always been a bit hit & miss. Often you need to remove Album Art in iTunes, from the music file.
     

  • How can I add music from my computer to iTunes 11.4?

    I have iTunes 11.4 (18)
    I have a Macbook Pro with OS X with 10.6.8
    I am trying to add 3 folders and 1 file of music to my iTunes.
    This music was downloaded from a PC that is obsolete now but had Windows XP on it.
    I have tried the standard answer to my question as follows:
    1 - I tried to drag one folder to the iTunes icon on the dock and then click on 'Add to Library', find the folder on my desktop, open it and nothing happened.
    2 - I tried to click on 'Add to Library', find the folder on my desktop and open it but nothing happened.  I tried to select all the tracks and could not add them.
    Is it possible that my files within my music folder have the wrong extension numbers?  The 'album' files are .jpg and the music files are .wma

  • How can I add music from my voice recorder to music player

    on samsung fascinate please? i don't want to have to connect with USB. thx

    Connecting via USB is the easiest way to get files onto your device (unless you have an SD card reader), and you can just drag and drop into a music file on your phone.  If you want to go the card reader route, unmount the card (menu>settings>storage>unmount SD card), insert it into the reader, and drag and drop.  Other wise, you would have to email the file to yourself, save it, and use a file explorer app to move it to the appropriate place. 
    There are some WiFi solutions, but I have no experience with those.

  • Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem.  When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music?

    Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer.  But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

    How can I put music from my computer on to my husband's Iphone without doing a backup of his phone on my computer?  All I want to do is add music to his iphone for him...not backup or sync his phone... thanks

    Does your husband have his own computer/iTunes account? If so, the easiest way is to turn on Home Sharing, transfer whatever you want from your library to his library & then sync it to his phone on his computer:

  • How can I get music from old mac to new mac?

    How can I get music from old mac to new mac please?
    Can't seem to make Migration Assistant work. Doesn't ask about or transfer files.

    I just migrated into a new MBP from an old one.
    It did not bring the music over.  Apple's instructions are to use the Home Sharing feature of iTunes.
    Open iTunes on your old Mac.  Select Home Sharing under the Advanced menu.  Sign in.  Do the same on your new computer.  Then when the library appears under Home Sharing on the left-hand panel on your new computer's iTunes, you can select all and Add To Library.
    That's what Apple says, anyway.
