How do I use my iTunes on multiple devices?

I have an old, nearly unusable laptop. This has most if my iTunes on it, those downloaded from cd and purchased, and all my playlists. I also have an ipad which has iTunes but not the cd ones or my playlists. Anything that I have purchased from my ipad is not on my laptop. I'd like to get all the tunes in both places, plus my iPhone, then be able to use my iTunes on my husband's computer so that I don't have to use my laptop any more. My husband's computer has his iTunes on it. Am so confused that I'm thinking of getting my original Sony Walkman out and reverting to cassettes.... Help, please?

Hi wanttothrowmydeviceoutofthewindow!
I have a couple of articles here that will hopefully elucidate a little and stop you from wanting to throw your device out of the window. First, an article to help you get all of your iTunes information from your old computer to your husband's computer (as long as he is okay with it!):
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer

As far as the purchased items on the iPad go, you can get those items onto your computer either by downloading your past purchases from your iTunes Store account onto the computer, or you can transfer purchases directly from the iPad to the computer. I have two links for you to do those things, respectively:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

or

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • Music and Video on Nas in folders but how do i set up itunes on multiple computers to see and use these files and create libraries?

    Music and Video on Nas in folders but how do i set up itunes on multiple computers to see and use these files and create libraries?
    So i have had a itunes set up on my old PC, bought a NAS and copied the folders over to the NAS, i did this incorrectly and so then even when i told the old PC to use that folder it saw all the songs but wasnt able to play the songs as it was looking in the incorrect place.
    So now i want my Mac as well as my PC and others to all use the music, videos etc on the NAS they are in itunes friendly folders (as they were compiled this way by the itunes on the old PC.
    When i tell the mac to use the itunes library.itl file it sees the song list (about 100gb) but cant see any songs, so i have removed this file to another location for now with the hope to set up a new file and then get it to see the songs on the folder from the NAS.
    Can someone tell me how to do this for all the Mac's and PC's on my network as i really want one master library that all use and add too.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    I have the same question but I am using two pc's

  • How do i use my itunes gift card money and not my credit card

    How do i use my itunes gift card money and not my credit card
    My ipod told me that i had to put in a credit card and because of that i put in my moms wit her permission. but the thing is i do not want to use the money on her credit card. i hav a 10 dollar itunes gift card in it already and none of it is used up. i want to use that money
    how do i do it

    Open iTunes on your computer. In the iTunes Store log into your iTunes Store account and view your account. Select Edit Payment Information. In the credit card choices I would choose None. That will remove your Mom's CC info. Next under iTunes Gift Cards and Certificates click the little arrow to redeem your Gift Card. Then follow the instrction to redeem your GC.
    You can also do this on your iPod, but it is more complicated to describe how to do it and to actually do it. It is easier to do in the iTunes on your computer.

    Just to confirm, you are logged into the iTunes Store using the account in which the balance exists, and the balance is showing at the top of the iTunes Store window? And you're not trying to purchase gifts for someone else?

  • How can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    how can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    Here's a possible workaround:
    Create the slideshow in Iphoto and add a theme and music.
    Install Picasa  and it will include the slideshow on it's indexed list.
    Upload the slideshow to PicasaWebAlbums and send the link to anyone you wish.
    The music and theme is preserved.
    Caveat: My playback pictures appear darker than usual but that could be just lousy photography...:)

  • How can I use different iTunes accounts on one iPad?

    How can I use different iTunes accounts on one iPad?

    You can't, well not easily anyway.  The iPad is not meant as a multi account device. 
    You can Sign Out of your iTunes account in Settings->iTunes and App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out
    However if you sign in with another ID and then download past purchases with it you will lock out the previous ID for 90 days. Which means it will not be able to be used on the iPad for 90 days. 

  • How can I use same iTunes on iPad 64GB and iPhone 5 16 GB memory

    How can I use same iTunes account on iPad 64GB and iPhone 5 16 GB memory

    Just connect them your computer. iTunes will treat each device separately. Or if you mean iTunes Store account, you can choose what you download to each device, either directly from the iTunes Store or in synching from iTunes on your computer, as long as you don't have automatic downloads turned on.
    Regards.
    Forum Tip: This forum is for questions about using iPads in companies and organizations. Questions about the general use of iPads will normally best be posted in the Using iPad forum.

  • How Do I Use An iTunes Gift Card?

    I was given an iTunes gift card for Christmas.  It says: "Open iTunes and click on iTunes Store.  Click Redeem."  I am then instructed to scratch off the label and enter the gift code number.  I am then to download my content "and enjoy."
    I would like to "enjoy."  The only problem is, when I open iTunes and click on iTunes Store, there isn't any "Redeem" opton available anywhere.  I'm not going to list everthing that appears on the drop-down menu under iTunes Store, but "Redeem" isn't one of them, and I can't find "Redeem" anywhere else on the home page for the Store.
    So how do I use an iTunes gift card?

    Problem solved.  It seems I did not have the most recent version of iTunes.  Once I updated to the current version, the "Redeem" link appeared.  I'm not going to tell you how old my existing version was.  Let's just say I was a tad out of date.
    Thanks so much for your response.  Now I can "enjoy."
    I went in, clicked on Redeem, plugged in the gift card number and, voila! - my account has been credited with the amount of the card.  I am good to go.

  • HT2534 How do you use an iTunes card after you have redeemed it?? I have entered my code for redeem and when I click on purchase song it asks me for a credit card?!

    How do you use your iTunes card after you have redeemed it. I have entered my redeem code and my balance is $20.00 but when I go to buy a song it asks me for my credit card details...?!

    If you set up an Apple ID already and didn't enter credit card details because you were planning on using gift cards only, you probably set up the account incorrectly. If this is the case, you will have to enter the credit card details even if you want to use only gift cards and download free content only. Yoy will not have to use the card, but you can't use the ID without entering the card details now. You may be able to remove the card as well after the card is verified for use by Apple by editing your account details.
    There is a very specific manner in which you have to set up an ID without using a credit card. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    See this about changing iTunes account information.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918
    If you decide to create a new ID now, you will new another email address as wel, because the email address that you are currently using will already be associated with the ID that you just set up.
    I am making certain assumptions here and reading between the lines of your post, so if I am guessing incorrectly, post back with more details.

  • How do you use an iTunes gift card on ipad2

    How do you use an iTunes gift card on ipad2? If anyone could answer it would be greatly appreciated

    You just find an app you want to buy and buy it. The money should deduct from the card balance.
    If you're afraid of it going on your credit card delete your card. (I'm presuming that you can. I set up my iTunes before you had to have a credit card and all I use are gift cards)

  • When using Firefox Sync on multiple devices, I used to be able to 'send' a tab from one computer to another. Is this still possible? If so, how?

    When using Firefox Sync on multiple devices, I used to be able to 'send' a tab from one computer to another. Is this still possible? If so, how?
    I don't mean the ability to see what tabs are open on another device (I know how to do this). But if I am at work and find something that I want to read at home, it would be helpful to 'send' the tab to my home PC so that when I return home, it will automatically open that tab for me.

    Can anyone help?
