How do I use music from different ID's in iMovie

I am "upconverting" my old iMovie swim shows to HD, which means remastering and re-linking some of my videos and even some of my pix.
We have been using iMovie since 2008 so I know it's changed a lot but there's one thing that's become really aggravating and I'm hoping there's an answer.
When we first started, we bought songs under two different ID's (big mistake--never do that!) and used songs from both ID's in previous iMovies without a problem. But iMovie '10 refuses to let me use songs from a different ID, even though I have authorized this computer for songs from that ID, and I have the password to the account, etc. etc.
And here's the really aggravating part: It's only a few songs and at this point, it's not worth my time to figure it out. I'll just buy the music again and give the no-good record industry a little extra cash for something I presumably own. EXCEPT iTunes thinks I already own that song (I do) so it won't let me buy it again, even if I delete it.
Now I'm really stuck. iMovie won't let me use the music from another ID, but iTunes won't let me buy it on the new ID cuz it knows I own it from the old one. Arrrgggggh!

First of all if you havent done it yet i think u shold authorize the mac on both accounts on itunes. You also can switch the accounts on your Iphones at itunes while you are in the internet adn download the music.
This is just an idea you should think of. For sure there are other ways I dont know.

How can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

how can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

If you mean iTunes Store accounts, there's really nothing for you to do. Just add the tracks to the iTunes library and play them. Music purchased prior to late-2009 will been to be authorized, though. Pull down Store > Authorize... and type the credentials of the Apple ID used to buy the tracks.
If you mean something else, please describe in more detail.

How do I access music from different countries? My account is in Australia

How do I access music from different countries? My account is in Australia and I want to purchase music in Franch

In order to buy from another country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
This, BTW, is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice.

How do I transfer music from different iTunes accounts on different computers?

Move the song files to the desired computer and then either drag them into the library in the open iTunes application window or the Automatically Add to iTunes folder. If this would cause the single library to have content from more than five Apple IDs, you may not be able to sync it to an iPod or iOS device.

How do i inbed music from iTunes into video in iMovie

I have an imac 21.5 desktop and gopro 3+balck ? is how do I put music from my itunes into a video in imovie??? Thanks for any help as I'm new to mac / computers and sick of wasting time trying to teach myself something I have no idea about.

If your music is in iTunes own format, you'll need to convert it first. Elements works best with .wav files. Here is the Apple article on making conversions:

How can i sync music from different computer without losing pictures??

my phone randomly "deleted" all of my music. It all shows up in itunes when I plug it into a computer. The only problem is MY compuer is currently out of commision and wont be fixed for at least a month. What Im trying to do is plug it into my friends computer and get music from her iTunes but when i go to move over specific songs a little window pops up that says my iphone can only be synced with 1 itunes at a time and that the current content will be erased if i do this. Im just not sure if this means all of the music content or all of the content including apps, pictures, etc.
all i need to know is how can i put music onto my iphone from someone elses itunes without losing my pictures or affecting any other content on my phone?

Did they change that or is it just that way for iphone? because I know when i had an Ipod classic.. or whatever theyre called.. I could definitely get music from mulitple computers. I had music from at least 4 different itunes accounts when I had that ipod.

How do you transfer music from different computers to your ipod?

I have two computers that are configured to my ipod. Because one is usually in the shop being fixed I have a problem when I purchase music on the secondary computer and want to transfer it to the main computer. It will transfer to my main computer through a cd but it requires that locate on the harddrive. It will play on the computer once I locate it but it won't tranfer to the ipod when syncing. Any suggestions?

If the music you want to move from computer A to computer B is on your iPod the job is easy. There are free and shareware programs that transfer music from the iPod to your computer. Check out your favorite download site.

How can you use music from a different itunes account on the same iphone

i bought my iphone 4s and had an apple id. then changed my apple id, but lost my music on my phone. can i keep music on my phone from another apple id, itunes?

Paid content purchased from the itunes store is always assigned to a single apple id. You will be unable to use the purchased content on another apple id.
Next time you change your apple id instead of creating an entire new apple id just change the primary email address to the email you would like to use.
e.g. current apple id is [email protected] but you want to change it. what you do is:
- go to appleid.apple.com
- select manage apple id
- sign in
From here what you want to do is change/edit your current primary email which in this case is [email protected] Simply select edit and enter the new email you would like as your apple id. Lastly you will be sent a verification email to verify the email addres and TADA your done.

How do I share music from different itunes accounts in the same Mac, in different users account on that Mac with different iPhones?

Hi
My wife and I share the same Mac.
She has her session and I have mine thus each of us has our iTunes session with our own music and settings.
She has her iTunes account and I have mine too.
And..;)...she has her Iphone and of course I also have mine.
So, the big question:
Both like music that the other has bought but we do not want to buy it twice! (through her account and mine).
Is there a way to share music I purchase so she can have it in her iTunes session and therefore have it also on her iPhone when she syncs..and of course viceversa for me too?
It goes without saying that although we like music the other one has, we do not like all of the music, so basically we want to have the possibility to share those special songs we like so we can have them both in our phones and individual Itunes sessions.
Was that clear or I lost you???
Any answer will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

First of all if you havent done it yet i think u shold authorize the mac on both accounts on itunes. You also can switch the accounts on your Iphones at itunes while you are in the internet adn download the music.

How can i use projects from an external drive in iMovie 13?

In iMovie 11´you were able via a button to edit movies from an external hard drive without needing to install those in your computer´s internal hard drive, but in iMovie 13´ you are not able to do that anymore.
I love iMovie, because it simplicity to create and make movies and i love they added better performance for green/blue screening, but i found a problem, i have a hard drive of only 128 GB, and with my content the clips i have don´t fit in the internal hard drive so i can´t install those clips, please do something in iLife 13´and even in iWork 13´there aren´t all those options anymore that let you do your work, some people think apple is bad for work, but i always have been telling them that all Microsoft features are in Mac too but with simplicity but in the new lineup they aren´t, i love apple, i haven´t got any device that isn´t from apple even my mobiles.
Please do something! ;(

How can I transfer music from an USB drive to the iPod. I can see the music and play it on the computer, but the iPod tells me to use iTunes to sync. The music is not on iTunes. It has worked in the past.....tks

These are just playlists. The songs there are really not duplicates of the songs. They are just a different location for accessing them. Some playlists can be deleted, some cannot. Ones that are created by iTunes cannot be deleted. Ones that you create can be. The Recently Added and the 90's cannot.

how do i transfer music from one ipod to another using itunes

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There is more than one way, but to get it all on all devices, connect the first device to iTunes and choose to transfer the music from the device from the file menu. Once everything is in iTunes connect the second device, select the device in the device list, navigate to the music tab and check the content you wish to sync, click apply/sync.
