How do I keep my iTunes library at home in sync with my iTunes at work?

Hi,
I have my music library on my iMac at home and my MacBook at work. I use an iPhone4s to listen to music or watch videos whilst on the train or during lunch breaks.
I have a smart folder set up to remove tracks that have been played and TV Shows that have been played.
I would like to be able to have my iTunes library the same at home and at work. So when I go to work and I listen to music or TV Shows on the way then when I connect to iTunes at work, these songs are then removed and the TV Shows removed and replaced with the next episode. Then the same happening when I go home and connect to the iTunes at home.
I have a dropbox account and was wondering if that can be used.

There is other options like http://supersync.com that I've tried but it is a headache.
Another option: http://lifehacker.com/5715126/how-to-sync-itunes-across-all-your-computers-with- dropbox
I prefer iTunes Match.
Good luck

  • How do i keep 2 iTunes libraries in sync

    Hi
    I am sure this must have been asked before BUT, how do I keep 2 iTunes libraries in sync?
    Some of the music is is purchased from Applestore but most is ripped from my CD's.
    Some of my films are purchased from Applestore but most are ripped from my DVD's or digital downloads.
    Most of my books are from audible.co.uk, CD rips and a very few from Applestore.
    I need/want to keep my primary iMac (which syncs with my iPad and iPhone) in sync with my home media server which is a Mac Mini.
    Andy and all help would be hugely appreciated.
    Regards.
    Robin
    PS I have tried MyTuneSync but this duplicates lots of files and does not handle deletions at all well.
    I have also tried SuperSync, this is hugely confusing, does not seem to wrok very well and has ZERO support.

    What did you copy over?
    I keep my iTunes library on an external hard disk on both machines as it is over 1.5Tb in size.
    But you still have the 'management' part of iTunes in the local iTunes folder and this does not get updated when you add sometthing from one machine onto the other?
    I do actually owned Synk but am sure I saw somewhere they do not suggest using it for iTunes?

  • I plan to loan my iPod Touch to a friend for one month to use in Europe.  How can I keep my iTunes account private, but enable him to create his own iTunes account to use on my iPod Touch?

    I plan to loan my iPod Touch to a friend here in the USA for one month to use on his trip to Europe.  How can I keep my iTunes content and my account private, but enable him to create his own iTunes account to use on my iPod Touch?  Also, do I need to de-register my iPod Touch for all of this to happen--and have him register my iPod Touch in his name for that month he is using it in Europe?

    The suggested advice in this support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478 wasn't a help at all, because the option "enable disc use" in the summary window of itunes doesn't appear.
    *From the article*:
    Products Affected
    iTunes 7 for Mac, iTunes 7 for Windows, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, iPod mini, iPod, iTunes 8 for >Windows, iTunes 8 for Mac
    No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
    I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
    Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb. These can be retrieved, again using a 3rd party application on your computer, such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy> but you will not get back original quality images.
    Good luck,

  • When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

    When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

    Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
    I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
    My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
    You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
    Hope this helps.

    how can i delete the photo library in my iphone 4 with ios6

    go to settings > general > usage > music app under the storage section > slide across the bar that says 'photo library' and a red delete button will appear
    you can also plug the device into your computer with itunes, go to the photos tab at the top center and uncheck where it says 'sync photos.' then press 'apply' in the bottom right corner. this will erase the photos that were synced to your phone from the computer

  • How can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my new macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my  last laptop.

    Hi, I have changed from an old laptop to a macbook air. how can i keep my music from my iPhone and sync it my macbook? Only purchased music seems to be available to sync, even though the rest of the music was uploaded from CD's on my  last laptop.
    As I can't upload CD's onto the Macbook Air, how do I keep the existing music on my iphone syn onto my new macbook without deleting all the cds on the iphone??
    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?

  • How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?

    How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?
    I used to store my pictures on an external hard drive using the latest version of Aperture. Now I tried migrating my Aperture library to Photos. However, after a short moment an error message popped up telling me that "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. Photos does not have the necessary permissions...".
    My external HDD doesn't need any permission repairs nor is the system prohibited to read from or write to it.
    Thanks for any advice in advance!

    My guess is that the encryption is the problem for the new app.

  • I Have trouble redownloading my purchase because it keeps staying itunes stop working or boujour is disabled

    I have trouble Re Downloading purchase on ITunes and it keeps saying ITunes stops working What should I do?
    Why Does it say Boujour is Disabled?

    Hello Caramel89,
    Lets start with fixing one issue at a time. First, lets try and get iTunes from crashing on you by checking out the article below. It will walk you through opening up in Safe Mode, trying to open iTunes in another user, and even remove iTunes and its associating software and reinstalling it. Once that is done, test to see if you can download any past purchases and if you are still having issues, let me know what you are experiencing and I will come back with some more troubleshooting for you.

Another option is that convert first your movie to mpeg4 by using any converter software, then after converted drga the file (movie) to itunes library. Next thing you will do is to click your account (your ipad device) then look movie tabs then check sync movies.

  • How do I get my calendar on my ipad to sync with my calendar on my iphone 4s?

    How do I get my calendar on my ipad to sync with my calendar on my iphone 4s?

    I've done all of these things, and nothing is working. I understand how the cloud is supposed to work, and I understand how to sync via itunes. For some reason, the calendar is the only thing that isn't syncing.
    I have support on the phone now. We've figured out that if I make a calendar entry on icloud from my PC, it follows through on my phone and ipad. Same if I make the entry on my iphone - it follows to icloud on my PC and ipad. But when I make the entry on the ipad, it doesn't follow through to my iphone or icloud on my PC.
    I've had a tech walking me through all of this for about a half hour now. Can't figure it out. He's checking with his senior tech, has me on hold right now. It's looking like I may have to make a trip to my nearest Apple store, 45 minutes away.

    Hmm.. Thank you for the response.
    Have you tried using the iPod with another user account or computer, to help narrow down whether the problem lies with the computer, account, or the iPod itself?
    Maybe try reformatting it, using the tools provided by Windows. Instructions on how to reformat your iPod can be found in this article.
