How do I get all into ONE?

Here's my scenario: I have a Macbook and a PC. The iTunes on my Macbook has songs & playlist on it. The iTunes on my PC also has songs and library on an external hard drive. The size on the external hard drive is approximately 32GB.
Here's what I want to do and can it be done?
I want to take the songs & library off of my Mac and put them onto the external hard drive. I then want my PC and my Mac to see all of the songs and update each other so that my iPod & iPhone can sync the information.
Is this possible?
Also, if possible, can I create playlists on my PC and separate Playlists on my Macbook. Then would I be able to sync my iPod on the PC and my iPhone from my Macbook using the entire library?
Thanks for anyone's help.

Hello
I would like to add to this as I have a similar situation.
I have an iMac and a macbook. I am moving all my iTunes from my macbook to iMac which also has some iTunes. I want to merge into one as I am selling my macbook.
I have a play list on my macbook, but not on my iMac. how do I get this play list to show?
I see the iTunes Music Library.xml file but it also list my music on macbook right? so how do I merge with what is on my iMac?
thank you in advance!

  • Is Acrobat Pro right for us. We have an Employee Handbook that needs editing. Some is current pdf, some from an older version. Want to get all into one handbook, have the table of contents automatically adjust and link to specific pages from the ToC.

    You can download the trial version (http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html) to convert the PDF back to WORD if you do not have the original. The conversion may not be perfect, but it is typically better than starting from scratch. You may be lucky and get a good result. You might check the settings (in the save screen) to try retain format versus retain text flow. The format version can be a pain to edit since it creates a bunch of text boxes. The flow version may require you to reformat in WORD, but you likely would want to do that anyway.

  • How Do I Get Music into One Grouping?

    On my iTunes I have a lot of music. I also have a lot of groupings for one artist. I have two little boxes for Selena Gomez and the Scene under the Artists tab and a bunch of TobyMac. I have found that it makes one more little box for every song that has someone new features in it. With TobyMac's new album I had like, 5 little boxes for his name. I tried putting Feat. Blank in the comments box to see if it would put them all in one box but it only put them in two. What can I do> I have tried evrything.

    Hey livvie44445,
    Thanks for the follow up. The following resource provides information relating to your second question:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Edit song and CD information
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12160
    - Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking the Info button and selecting the “Part of a compilation” checkbox.
    - Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
    Thanks,

  • I migrated my files from my old PC to my new mac but it put everything in a separate user account. How do I get everything into one user account?

    I would like all my old files under the same account as all my news files so that I don't have to switch back and forth between user accounts

    Have a read here:

    Might be better/best to start the thing all over and using the Setup Assistant instead of the MIgration Assistant this time:

  • HT1473 When downloading a CD album, if it contains different artists, the album is split up into separate albums/icons. How do I get all songs into one album (just like the original CD)?

    When downloading a CD album, if it contains different artists, the album is split up into separate albums/icons. How do I get all songs into one album (just like the original CD)?

    Generally, in iTunes, all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist to keep things together. For older iPods each track from the same album should have the same artist, or be marked as a compilation where appropriate. For iOS devices you may need to go to Settings > Music > Group By Album Artist > On.
    For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • How do I get all the songs into one album when it's various artisits?

    I have several albums that are made up of various artists, not just one.  How do I get all the artists under the one heading of the album?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For compilations use Various Artists and also got the options tab and set Part of a compilation to Yes. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • How do I get music from multiple accounts all into one?

    I'm afraid of deleting music and not being able to get it again. My music that I listen to is very important to me. One account is already verified on 5 computers so I can't verify it anymore. I NEED to find out how to somehow get all my music that is on my current iphone into ONE account so that I can transfer it to a new iphone. Is there any way to do this without plugging it into a computer?
    By the way I think my music is all from like 4 or 5 accounts. (All mine.)

    Hello ithayne15
    Currently, there is not a way to put multiple purchases from different Apple ID’s onto one Apple ID. If you need to authorize another computer and our out of Authorizations because you do not have access to older computers that no longer work, you can do a deauthorize all and then start authorizing the computers that you currently have.

  • HT1660 i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?

    i have two independent itunes libraries on my computer right now. how do i consolidate them into one library? how do i get rid of duplicate files?

    Hello rmunsey,
    Thank you for the question.  It sounds like you have two separate iTunes Libraries but would like to add the music from one to the other to have one consolidated library.
    If you know where the files are for each library, I recommend opening one iTunes Library in iTunes and importing the files from the other library using the following steps:
    Open iTunes
    From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
    MacAdd to Library
    Windows
    Add File to Library
    Add Folder to Library
    Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
    Adding music and other content to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
    Next, you can search for duplicates:
    Choose View > Show Duplicate Items to show duplicate items (matches are based on the song name and artist). If you have multiple versions of the same song (for example, live and studio versions, or versions from different albums) you can hold the Alt or Option key (for Mac OS X) or the Shift key (for Windows) and choose View > Show Exact Duplicate Items. This will show only duplicate songs having the same name, artist, and album.
    How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2905
    This should help you identify the duplicates all at one time so that you can delete the extra versions of songs.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I have a new computer. i signed into itunes but my music isn't there.  How do i get all my music off my old iphone to the new computer

    I have a new computer. i signed into itunes but my music isn't there.  How do i get all my music off my old iphone to the new computer so i can put all the music on my new one.
    The guy at att told me that icloud would sync everything i had in my notes, calendar, and text messages to my new phone, but it only synced some of my notes, none of my messages, or calendar info.

    Your music will only be where you put it.  It will not magically appear on a new computer.
    Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    If for some reason you cannot do this, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an iphone:  Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases
    You can also redownload itunes purchases from icloud in some countires:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I just upgraded to LR4, how do I get all my LR2 images into LR4?

    I just upgraded to LR4, how do I get all my LR2 images into LR4?

    Images are not "in" Lightroom. Image files are on the hard drive, and the Lightroom edits are in the catalog.
    Lr creates a link between the catalog and the image files on the hard drive.
    So, there is no need to bring images from one version of Lr to the other.
    When you install Lr4 it will find your existing catalog and update it (in fact it updates a copy of the catalog); Lr4 will then "know" where your images are because their location is recorded in the catalog.
    It is the unfortunate choice of the word "import" that creates the impression that images are in Lr like eggs in a basket. Nope!

  • TS2972 I have 4 Apple TV's. All set up to Home share. One will not see the computer. It is also the only 720 I have. The other three are 1080's. How do I get the 4th one (the720) to recognize my Mac?

    Need more information to help you, but I am providing some suggestions.  Sorry if you are past these type of basic things.  But didnt really have much to start with and understand your technical level to start with. 
    Have you got into Settings > Computers > Turned on Home Sharing (Note: You must use the some Apple ID used by the iTunes library on your MAC for them to see one another)
    How is your MAC connected to the network vs the 720 ATV2?  Is one WiFi and the other Ethernet?  Have you tried switching the ATV2 to WiFi if Ethernet? 
    Has the MAC been restarted since this started happening?  Same with your Router and any other networking device being used?  Sometimes an IP conflict can arise in your networking and most consumer networking equipment does not know how to "self heal" without a reboot. 
    Make sure you have given those things a whirl and share back your results.  Any other information you can provide, such as how you connect to your network from each ATV and MAC.

  • I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

    I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location.  They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

    In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
    If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name
