How do I combine two libraries from two different computers?

My wife and I have two libraries on two windows computers. She wants to add my songs to her library. I do not wish to add her songs to mine. Can we do this? How is it done?
All songs on my iPod have been purchased from iTunes. Her library is half purchased from iTunes, using the same iTunes account, and half from CDs that she's loaded.
OK, rookie question. But we're headed on vacation and I want my iPod back for the trip.
Thx!

You can transfer the iTunes songs from your iPod to her computer, just remember two things.
1) Set your iPod to manual management before connecting to another computer so you don't accidentally erase it. You can change it back to auto-syncing on your own computer when you are finished:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
2) Authorise your wife's computer to play songs from your iTunes Store account:

Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

    How do you combine 3 different itunes libraries from 3 different computers to 1 computer?
    Can you keep it from creating duplicates?  These libraries have some duplicates.
    How do you deal with duplicates? 
    I'm talking 50GB. 
    All computers are authorized. 
    THANKS for any suggestions.

    You can't.
    If accounts could be merged, then everybody could merge their accounts with everybody and there would be no need for anyone to buy anything.

    Can you create a BI publisher report with two data models that have the Answers Request as a data source and then generate the xml and use the concatenated data set for the BI publisher report? or are there issues that prevent you from doing so?
    I believe in your scenario, it is not possible to have a combined Answers request..

  • Combining 2 itunes from 2 different computers

    I have two itunes on two different computers and i was wondering what would be the best and easiest way to combine them

    Hi, I have a suggestion, Try getting an external hard-drive or if your collection is small, get a USB drive.
    1-Find where your songs are stored or where iTunes is getting them from (to find out go into iTunes Prefs or settings under "advance tab"- it will say iTunes Media Folder Location).
    2- Go to that spec. fold location and copy or move you music to your USB/External Hard-drive
    3-Go to your new computer, put in USB/Hard drive, BUT!!!!... instead of Dragging music files to itunes directly to your iTunes Music Library, on left side of bar in Itunes, copy the music into the fold which the new computer's music is store, to find out repeat step 1&2
    4-Copy that music in THAT folder first, (because if not, you'll have to leave you USB/Hard drive plugged in all the time if you want to play/snyc music. iTunes remembers where the files are, it doesn't store them direct into the program itself, so if you ever have an "!" by your songs, that is why-FYI)
    5-From THAT folder on your NEW COMPUTER, import them into iTunes (File--Import into Library) OR Select and drag into "Music Library"
    6-iTunes will ask if you want them to be organize , I click yes, and depending on how many songs you are moving into your new computer's iTunes, you might want a cup of coffee--or do a cross word
    I hope that helps!!!

  • How do I combine two different libraries into one?

    I have three devices, one iphone and two ipods. How can I combine all three libraries into one single library. Is this possible?

    Choose the library connected to the iPhone, import the media content from the other one/two libraries. DeDupe.
    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help with the last bit. See this  thread for background.

  • How do I combine two different itunes accounts, one from an iphone 5 and the other from a macbook running 10.6.8?

    Hello community,
    Recently purchased an apple tv and as we were setting it up we came to the realization that wifey's itunes on her iphone has a different apple id - hence different account BUT she was able to download her original itunes account content to the iphone. Anyways we just want to merge the two libraries - actually since most of the music is on the macbook, we really just want to load the iphone content back to her orginal itunes account. Lots of posts out there but frankly Im a bit lost and nervous about losing anything(especially the playlists) so thanks in advance for any super simple and safe steps to take.

    You can't.
    If accounts could be merged, then everybody could merge their accounts with everybody and there would be no need for anyone to buy anything.

  • How to install on two different computers with two different people

    i purchased lightroom and was told i can use it on my associate's computer which is also a Mac. i have the product key. how do we install it on my associate's computer?

    You install it the same way you installed it on any other machine.  In the event you misunderstood what you were told, you are allowed to have two working installations, but only one can be in use at any given time.

  • We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

    We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

    There is no "adding" a device.  Simply plug the iDevice into the computer.  iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
    iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

  • How can I combine two databases, from two computers, to have one combined database of messages?

    My old XP computer recently died and I had to build a new Windows 8.1 machine. While I was down I used a laptop as a temporary replacement. Now my new machine is running fine and receiving e-mail, but I now have two databases--one on the new machine and one on the laptop. Both are based on a recent backup, so they are lengthy--except that the new machine's database has a hole in it for the period I was on the laptop and the laptop's database also has gaps. How can I combine two databases into one that includes the messages from both machines?
    Thanks in advance,

    Thanks for your reply. My profile folder did not contain any MBOX files. I found them in another folder on another drive. The Import-Export tools simply transferred each folder to the current one as a sub-folder. Then I had to use ctrl-a to select everything in the folder and move them manually to the current folder (such as inbox). Then I could use the other utility you mentioned to remove the duplicates. This had to be done, one folder at a time, to combine each folder. It worked, but I had about thirty-five folders to deal with. The whole process took most of two days to complete. I wish there was a simple way to blend everything together in one action, but I could not find an add-on that would do this.

  • How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    Items purchased from the iTunes Store are permanently associated with the account from which they were originally purchased.  Apple provides no way to change this.
    However, if you wish to put content from two accounts into a single iTunes library, you can easily do so.  Use the command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.

  • How do i combine two folders with some of the same music?

    How do I combine two music folders (one is on my pc, the other is on my external HD). The external HD is for back up, but I have since added 7gb of music on my PC. I want to add the 7gb to my external HD, but not sure exactly what songs/artist I need to move. Short of going folder by folder to copy and drag, is there an easier way to combine the folders with out doubling up what is in both spots?

    IF you are going from PC to external then drag the whole library to the external drive and andwer no when asked if you want to copy over existing files. That's how I do it. No duplication and only the new songs actually copy.

  • How do I combine two iTunes accounts to one.?

    How do I combine two iTunes accounts into one?

    iTunes Account = Apple ID...
    From Here   http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
    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.

  • How do I combine two or more pictures into one?

    How do I combine two or more pictures into one?

    I found out how to do what I wanted and I'm giving my steps in hopes that it might help someone else.  I wanted to put several photos from a file onto a new blank image.  This is what I did.
    1.  Create a blank page.    File/New/ Blank File.   Put in the size.  I used 8x10.
    2.  Bring the photo  you want to use into Elements as you always do. It will list along the top next to the blank sheet.
    3.  Choose SELECT (top of screen)/ Select All.
    4.  Choose Edit/Copy   or Command "C"
    5.  Click on the Blank File.   Chose Edit/Paste  or Command "V"
    6.  Click on Image/ Transform or Command "T".  There should be a dotted line around your pasted image.  You can then move and adjust the image to how you want it.  When finished, press the check-mark on lower right of photo.
    7.   Repeat this with all the photos you want on the new blank file.
    8.  You will see on lower right of Elements,  the background layer and as many layers as you have photos.  These layers need to be permanently placed on the background layer. Go to Layers and press Merge Visible.  This will merge all layers to the background.
    9.  Save as and you are done.
