You need to explain what you are doing more clearly.
If you want to use the same music library on two PCs, you need to have iTunes installed on both PCs, the same "iTunes Library.itl" file on both PCs and the same music files in the "iTunes music" folder.
This article form Apple gives a method of copying music between two PCs using your iPod:

Both PCs must also be authorised in order to play music purchased from the iTunes store.

How do i transfer itunes library to another computer

Have an ipod 06 era, trying to transfer music to another pc, and create a library for it in the itunes account on that pc. Any tips?

Not totally clear if you have a current PC with an existing library, or want to extract from your iPod.
Migrate library:
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.

Open iTunes Library on another computer

My entire music library is on my external hard drive. I'm going away for the summber and obviously I can't take my iMac with me. But I've got PB. And, I'd like to open my music library in my PB exactly like I do on my iMac, i.e. same play count, same import date, etc... The reason I ask this is because the only way I know how to open the music library on another computer, is to import the entire library again, which will not retain all that information (play count, etc). So, how do I do that?

Here's the trick. On your PB, Rename your user/music/iTunes folder (something like iTunesb or anything similar). When you launch iTunes, it will freak out and tell you that it can't find your music library and ask you to "point to" the correct location. From there simply navigate to your iTunes folder on your ext. drive and bingo..... Of course, this means that you must have the drive mounted whenever you launch iTunes. Also, you will have to "authorize" the PB to play your purchased music.

How to copy backup of iTunes library onto another computer?

My primary laptop with my music library just crashed. I have a older laptop that I plan to use while I get the other repaired. I have a complete backup of my music library on external drive. After installing iTunes on the spare laptop I copied the backup music library to the iTunes music folder. However, when I start itunes, nothing shows up in iTunes. This has probably been discussed but several searches have not found how to recover this. Does anyone know what the process is?
Thanks

If you want to backup your iPod onto another computer you can download a program called "iPod to computer transfer" at the following URL:

How to use a Itunes Library between multiple computers

Hi all,
I have never posted a question to this apple forum, so forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask.
My situation is as follows:
I have a Synology DS214play NAS, also attached to my network is a wired Imac (late 2013 model) running the latest software and wireless connected macbook pro.
What I want to achieve is to manage my music on both my Imac and my Macbook, the itunes library file(s) and music are stored on my NAS.
What Im able to do is to manually select the Library file on one devices and it retrieves all the contents and I can start listing and adding music.
However if I want to also listing to my music on another device at the same time, Where I also select the library file its giving me this message:
What this message is telling:
"The File 'iTunes Library Extras.itdb' is locked, this file is located is located on a secure disk or you don't have the privilege to write to this file.
Sorry for the bad translation.
I have tryed everything so far but it doesn't help,
I hope you guys and girls can help me with this.
Regards Jordy from the Netherlands

I want to also listing to my music on another device at the same time
A library file can only be opened by one running copy of iTunes at a time. You have to quit iTunes on the other computer.
You can have two library files sharing the same media, but then you have to keep two libraries up to date with each other.

How to merge existing itunes library with another time machine volume?

hope to hear some valuable pointers. Thank you!

i have never attempted such an operation, so no step-by-step guide !
you will be able to restore the other Mac's library to the iMac. go here and follow the instructions: http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/17.html. restore whatever you need to a temporary location, i.e. the desktop.
if you only want the media files, just restore the iTunes music folder. when restored, use +add to library+ from the file menu or just drag the folder you restored to the +automatically add to iTunes+ folder inside the iTunes folder.
if you also want playlists, playcounts, and ratings, you should restore the entire iTunes folder.
take a look @ PowerTunes. this app should enable you to merge the two libraries.
good luck !

How to transfer one itunes library to another itunes already synced with some other device?

i have two laptops. both are authorized for use with my ios devices. one is authorized for use with my ipod nano 5th generation and the other one is authorized with my ipad3 and iphone 5. i am manually managing the itunes in my 2nd laptop in case of my iphone. now what i want is to transfer my ipod library from the 1st laptop to the 2nd laptops itunes and deauthorize the 1st laptop. is that possible? please help, as it is getting harder for me to manage two itunes in two different laptops.

See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, particularly if you want to change the library the iOS devices sync with. If you already have all the media in both libraries but want to recover playlists, ratings and play counts from a device into the "wrong" library my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may be useful.
