How can I update my  music library on Windows and a library on Mac on netwo

I have music on my PC and music on my Mac, both systems running iTunes.The 2 systems are networked. Can iTunes update my music library on both computers so they have the same music library without deleting any songs?

iTunes cannot, no.

    Many thanks!

    Hi RaulRod,
    Are you pressing the Sync button to transfer music after connecting your iPhone or do you have the option checked to 'Automatically Sync when the iPhone is connected?'
    Have you tried manually dragging and dropping music from your library into your phone?

    Hi
    Thanks for the reply, not the answer I was hoping for, one last thing if I can get the music onto a computer can I then add it to the iTunes library.
    Really don't want to have to reload it all again

  • I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again?

    I recently had to completely restore my laptop, so I lost the music on my itunes. It's still on my iphone, but how can I keep the music I already have and continue to add more music from the newly set up itunes again? Is there actually a way to do this? I can't help but wonder what the stupid icloud is for if my music is still somewhere in the 'cloud' but it's zero help for restoring music when it's lost on a computer....any help even a site that get's around apple would be great!

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Have you failed to do this?
    If so, not good, you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to your computer.  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You can also redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

    Unfortunely, all movies and songs purchased in iTunes will be lost...you'll have to purchase them again! Any applications you've purchased, you can download again for free.
    Music Rescue is a program you can use to transfer any and all data (music, movies, pictures..) from your iPod to your computer, and iTunes.

    You should be able to copy your iTunes purchases back via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases

  • Hello, my iTunes dates are crashed on my mac, how can I download all my itunes match songs and save on my mac?

    Hello, my iTunes dates are crashed on my mac, how can I download all my itunes match songs and save on my mac?

    Hi mrmoo13!
    You have a couple of options for transferring your music library from one computer to another. First, you can download all of your music that is stored in the cloud on iTunes Match by following the instructions on this page:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Access all your music anytime, anywhere with iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12284
    You can follow steps listed in the section right here:
    Play or download songs from iCloud
    You can play songs directly from iCloud, or you can download songs so you can play them when you’re not connected to the Internet.
    If a song is available in iCloud, it has a Download button next to it.
    To play the song, double-click it.
    To download the song, click the Download button.
    After you download a song to a computer, it remains in the computer’s iTunes library, even if you turn off iTunes Match.
    To only display downloaded songs in your iTunes library, choose View > Hide Music in the Cloud. This also hides any previous iTunes Store purchases you haven’t downloaded.
    For information about downloading and playing songs on an iOS device, see the documentation for the device.
    In order to make it easier to download all of your music, you can highlight all of the songs in your iTunes Match section and then click download, as mentioned in these instructions.
    You can also choose to transfer the music from your old computer to the new one by following the steps in this article, whcih will give you some other options for doing this transfer:

  • I had iphone 3GS. How can I update iOS to 4.5.1 and NOT 6.0.1 (which made it stop working)?

    I'm not very tech savy im afraid.
    I'm not sure what OS i was using previously, but i made the mistake of letting itunes update to 6.0.1, the phone then restarted and got stuck in reactivate mode. I paid someone to sort it....ended up losing everything, contacts, apps and photos
    I didn't realise that the phone is now on iOS 4.1 and I can't seem to get any apps for it (line, skype etc).
    So, how can I update to a usable iOS like 4.5?
    thanks

    You can't.

  • How can I update my student version AF5.5 and Premier5.5 to use with Mavericks

    hello,
    I need to update my Production Suite apps 5.5 in order to be able to use them with Mavericks. There is no option to do it from the app. I have a student version, still in college.
    thank you

    Yes, i know it doesn't. My question is - how can I still be able to use Af and upgrade to Mavericks. Can I buy the AF6 upgrade, if I have a student version? Adobe customer support is non existent.
    Thank you,

  • HT204053 I have two Apple ids, how can I get all music I have purchased in one library?

    I have used two Apple IDs to purchase music. I want to consolidate the music to one library. How can I do this?

    Wooookay ..... I need to slow down some here.
    OK. Thanks for this. Yes I was confusing two things.
    Forget the Store.
    In my iTunes Library there are some songs I purchased (with ID2) along with those from ID1. There are a few songs with a "!" in the first column on the left of my songs listing. When I click on those songs I get a message which says "can't play this song as itunes cannot locate the file, then it gives me the option to locate it. Once I take that option I am in finder but cannot find the song. it is not in the location other "playable songs" are.
    somewhere in frogging around i did see a location that looked something like //file/xxxxx/xxxx/user/etc. but I cannot find this location. somehow a few songs from a specific download have been sent to this eroneous location which itunes cannot find. I want to get them moved to where itunes can find and play them.
    I can later deal with ordering music with two different IDs.
    Thanks for helping

  • How can I get my music off my nano and into my itunes library?

    We did an erase/install on our imac and forgot to back up the itunes library. Thankfully my music is on my ipod, but how do I get it back into my library?

    You can try some 3rd party utilities like those above. Your mileage may vary.
    Officially, there is no way to get music off your iPod and onto your computer. Sync is 1 way only.

  • How can I move the music files back into my itunes library?

    Hi. I hope you can help. We bought a new computer and I was using my iPod as an external drive to move the music from one to another. This did not work, it said it ran out of room even though there was room on it...Anyway when i returned to my iTunes page the music was no longer in the library. When i check the files on my computer it is still there, yet it is not in the library. How can I get it back there? Whenever I plug in my iPod now it tries to sync it with the library which would wipe away all of the music.
    Thanks

    +"When i check the files on my computer it is still there, yet it is not in the library."+
    Putting the files on your computer does not cause them to be added to the library. To add them, use the command File > Add Folder to Library, and point it to My Music or whatever folder(s) all the music is in.

  • How can I keep some music on laptop HD and bulk on EHD?

    I would like to keep some music on my laptop HD for portability but have a lot of other music that I want to keep on an external Hard Drive to to keep my internal a cleaner. How can I continue with the music I already have on my internal HD but connect and use the external too?

    Open the Advanced section of the iTunes preferences, verify that it isn't set to copy music to the iTunes Music folder when imported, place the other music files on the external drive outside of iTunes, and then drag them into the open iTunes window.

  • How can I get EVERY music file on my iPod onto my new Mac, not just the songs purchased off of the iTunes store?

    So I've got an iPod classic with songs on it from the iTunes store, from CDs of my own, from free online playlists, etc. and when I plug it into my new Mac laptop the only songs that show up on iTunes are the ones I actually purchased in the iTunes store with my old computer (not a Mac). How can I copy ALL the music on my iPod onto my new Mac?
