How can I sync 2 computers with the same iTunes library?

I have an iMac and a MBP, and I want to keep my iTunes library the same on both machines.  Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks!

Home Sharing is the easiest way to do this.
It works automatically if your music has been bought from the iTunes store.
Here are some instructions on how to set it up: http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-Home-Sharing-in-iTunes

  • HT1495 If I have an IPHONE with my own Apple ID and my husband has his IPHONE with his Apple ID, can we sync them to the same ITUNES Library on the same PC??

    Confused....

    As long as you have iTunes logged in with your Apple ID, you can just plug your phone in and sync it, and all your music will appear as your Library (e.g. "Nolan's Music"). When your husband plugs his phone in, he'll probably have to log you out and login with his Apple ID, before he syncs his phone.
    The problem is that Apple IDs are accounts. Your phone is linked to your account, and his phone is linked to his account. I don't think you can sync them both while logged in to one of those accounts. Have you sync'd your phones before? What happens when you plug them in?

    I own three Apple devices, but my iPad remained associated with my old email address and password. How can I register it with the same new email and password?

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

    That's only a good idea if the semantics of sayHello
    as defined in MyInterface suggest that a
    RemoteException could occur. If not, then you're
    designing the interface to suit the way the
    implementing classes will be written, which smells.
    :-)But in practice you can't make a call which can be handled either remotely or locally without, at some point, dealing with the RemoteException.
    Therefore either RemoteException must be part of the interface or (an this is probably more satisfactory) you don't use the remote interface directly, but MyInterface is implemented by a wrapper class which deals with the exception.

  • Hi, does someone know if I can use two Apple tv's with the same iTunes library? Thanks

    Hi, does someone know if I can use two Apple tv's with the same iTunes library?
    Thanks

    Yes you can use two (or more) AppleTVs with one iTunes library. They can both stream from iTunes (or the internet) at the same time, as long as you have a good working LAN and internet connection.

  • Can I sync 2 iPhones with the same iTune library?

    I am currently using an iPhone 3GS and have no problems with it.  I also have an iPod Classic synshed to the same iTunes library with no issues.
    My question is: Can I also synch my old iPhone 3G so that my kids can use it to play some games, videos and music, synched from my library, with SIM card?

    Try it and see what happens. I don't see why it wouldn't work.
    If you DO have problems, put the phone in Airplane Mode. And see if that helps.

  • How can multiple Mac users have the same iTunes?

    I have a MacBook, and my wife and I have separate accounts on it. It's easier that way for separate Facebook accounts, email, etc. However, it's complicated when it comes to iTunes and applications. We both want to use the same iTunes library. We have iTunes Match, but I'd rather not re-download my entire library when it's already on my computer just so we both have access to it. I tried following the directions at this article, but it didn't work. So, how can both my wife and I, from different accounts on the same Mac (and using the same Apple ID) access the same iTunes library and have any changes reflected on both accounts?

    Obviously, if you just need to copy those iTunes folders, you don't need the ability to write; just the ability to read, which you already have.
    Besides, the /Users/Shared folder is indeed an excellent location for a shared iTunes library; I hadn't yet considered that. Ignore all the above instructions. First, make sure your two iTunes libraries are in sync. Use an external hard drive (or mess with permissions) to do what copying you need to. Then go into iTunes and iTunes>Preferences...>Advanced and change the iTunes Media folder location to /Users/Shared. All of your iTunes content should be copied (or moved) into /Users/Shared.
    After that, do the same thing in the other account, and both your iTunes libraries will now be pointed to the same location.

  • Two accounts with the same iTunes library (at same time!)

    Hi, on my iMac I setup my iTunes library (connected with ATV), guessing what happens if I move this library to the shared folder on my iMac and in the same time this is opened by the two accounts present on my iMac (me and my wife).
    Should I make the connection with ATV also on my wife's account ? What happens to other account ?
    Thanks.

    only one iTunes can access a library at a time.
    instead, you could try this:
    i assume both you and your wife have their own iTMS account. if that is so, you might want to try to cross-authorize iTunes on each account to play/use content purchased by the other. this works at least for an iPod Touch so i would be surprised if it didn't work for the TV.
    that's basically very easy. all you have to do is +log out+ of one account (click on the account name in the Store window and select sign out from the pop-up dialog) and into the other, and then they will both be authorized. (be sure to just *log out*, not de-authorize ).

    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.

  • Can Atv1 and Atv2 sync with the same itunes library?

    I have imac running snow leopard.It was working perfectly well wit my Atv1. I decided to buy Atv2 for airplay function. Since I installed Atv2 icannot find my Atv1. What is more after resetting my Atv1 I cannot find it under 'Devices' in Itunes. It connects to the internet and my network. I can login to the itunes shop and download and watch movies etc. But I cannot register it with my itunes library and imac. Atv1 annAtv2 with same itunes library is it possible or is it uncompatible.?

    Quite possible.
    You may need to disconnect the 'connection' and reconnect on AppleTV1 in Settings>Computers.
    If a sync (content in My Music not My Shared Music etc) connection AppleTV will be wiped clean of media in preparation for a new sync library.
    There may be other factors at play (securtiy software, firewalls, corrupt iTunes/other software installation).
    Also worth restarting router, computer, itunes and AppleTV.

    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer

  • How do I sync apps from the same iTunes account to an iPhone 3G and an iPhone 4S and keep correct version for each iOS?

    I have an old 3G as well as a 4S. Initially I set up a separate iTunes account for the 4S as I was worried I'd lose my old apps for 3G (as older, compatible versions aren't kept in the iTunes store so once they're gone, they're gone...). 3G is set up to sync with iTunes, 4S is inly syncing mail and conatcts through Exchange but hasn't been synced with an iTunes library for the reason above.
    Is there a way to sync both phones off the same iTunes account, so I can set up each phone with some music, as well as apps, without iOS 5 versions overwriting the exisitng apps for the 3G?
    To complicate things further, I don't want to sync photos, contacts, messages, etc. I just want to avoid having to duplicate all my music and pay for all the apps all over again. Suggestions?
    Cheers

    Hi gail,
    Thanks for the quick reply! The music part makes sense, good to know I don't have to duplicate the lot. The big question stillr emains as to whether iTunes can cope with two different iPhones, running different versions of the iOS, and therefore different app versions.
    Currently all the apps in iTunes are years old, and many haven't updated in months (years?) because the 3G is running iOS 4.2.1 (and can't be upgraded). Many of these have since been updated in the iTunes store (for the various incarnations of iPhone since) and the old versions that my 3G requires have been replaced.
    I'm worried that syncing the 4S running iOS 5, and running the most recent updates for same apps, will cause iTunes to overwrite the old 3G compatible ones when I sync. Unless iTunes is smart enough to know which version of the app is for which OS, without updating the legacy version when I update the apps on the 4S?
    You guys shouldn't face that problem, as iPad and iPhone apps don't replace each other (I believe? Not sure about this) as new updates are released for each app, you'd have a copy for each device (for example Evernote for iPad, and Evernote for iPhone). I can't figure out if iTunes can handle keeping separate iPhone versions for Evernote iOS 4.2.1 and Evernote for iOS 5. My gut feeling is no, but I want to amke sure before I lose the legacy versions of each app.
    Of course, maybe I'm just paranoid and iTunes is in fact perfectly capable of keeping old and new apps in the same library?
    Cheers

  • Can iPhone be synced on 2 computers with the same iTunes account

    I have a 3G and am running OS 3.0. I've only had my phone for about a month so I am still learning. But when I got my phone, it synced to my computer fine then when i did the 3.0 update that it wanted me to do, the phone froze, had to get it restored on my mom's computer, get her iTunes acct off and mine back on, etc. Well needless to say I am scared of upgrading to 3.1 since there are so many problems right now, I also haven't put the MMS on there either yet cause its apparently not working right.
    My computer is about 5 years old and has been having issues and I think that might be the problem when I updated to 3.0. (my mom's new computer restored my phone and got 3.0 on there perfectly)
    I really would like to try the 3.1 upadate, my computer at work is tons better, runs perfectly, I already have iTunes on it. So now to the question, if I plug my iPhone into my work computer, logged into my iTunes account, will it sync there too, so I can do my updates or will it tell me it can't because its already synced to another computer (even though its the same account?)
    Message was edited by: nrau

    We have had no issues with the update, nor has anyone we know. Most people never have an issue of any kind.
    MMS is working fine for me and everyone I know.
    Iphone will sync itunes content with ONE computer at a time.
