How to import items from another iTunes library?

I have have home movies in my iTunes on my iMac which my wife wants to import into iTunes on her Macbook.  Both macs have Home Sharing turned on.  She has my library showing under Shared in her iTunes and she can see my entire library.  She selects the item she wants to import but there is no way to import it.  It cannot be dragged and there is no Show menu at the bottom of the iTunes window as iTunes Help says there should be.
She is using OSX 10.6.8 and I'm using  10.7.2.  We both are using iTunes 10.5.
Please explain how to do this import.

Here is a screen shot of what you should be seeing once Home Sharing is turned on and the remote shared library is select.
On the left-hand sidebar you should be seeing the remote iTunes Library with the house icon under the Shred category. When you select it, all the media from the remote shared library should be listed in the main iTunes windows. Along the bottom you should see the 'Show:' pull-down menu on the left side and the 'Settings…' and 'Import' buttons on the right side.

  • How do use home sharing to import items from other iTunes library?

    Okay - the help section in iTunes is not helpful.  I am trying to import items from my girlfriend's library and vice versa.  We have home sharing turned on.  I can see her library and she can see mine.  According to the HELP section, I should be able to choose a cateogry i.e. MUSIC.  Then there is supposed to be a "Show" menu at the bottom of the iTunes window and I should choose "items not in my library" then select the items I want to import and click import.
    PROBLEM:  I can choose a category but there is no SHOW Menu at the bottom of the iTunes window which allows me to select items and import them into my library.
    Suggestions???

    Well I guess I am not sure now that you asked. 
    In ITunes - under "Preferences" I have Sharing turned on so it says sharing my library on local network.
    AND
    In ITunes - under "File" I have Home Sharing turned on.
    Does this answer your question?

  • I recently downloaded music onto my iphone from another itunes library

    but my own itunes library isn't letting my download it, how do I put the music onto my own library?

    From another iTunes library of yours that is available on another computer that you own?
    If so and the music was purchased from the iTunes store with the same iTunes account, iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was downloaded from the iTunes store only. The computer you are wanting to transfer the iTunes store purchased content to must be authorized with the same iTunes account with iTunes.
    If not from your iTunes library and iTunes account on another computer that you own, what you are wanting to do amounts to stealing.

  • I need to transfer music from another itunes library to my current. my last computer crashed and i do not want to lose all of the music stored on my nano. Please help!

    I need to transfer music from another itunes library. My last compter hard drive failed. I have several hours of songs and I don't want to lose these. Is there a way to transfer music from another libray to current? I have recovered the purchased music but would like to transfer other. I have a mini without a disc drive so it makes loading the same music difficult. Please help.

  • Plz help ! how do i restore songs from another itunes library?

    Okay, yesterday i charged my ipod in my mac laptop and this morning my brother pulled it out. then my ipod would turn on and the wire icon just kept appearing on the screen of my ipod. once i put it in my laptop my ipod froze and the only way any songs or any information would appear on it is if i synced it to my laptop itunes library . The problem with this is all my songs were from my cousins itunes library and they all got erased . I tried restoring it but they wont come back. I want my songs from my cousins ipod back on my ipod because it was over 400 songs. I now only have 60 songs. PLZ HELP GET THEM BACK ! im not very educated in this stuff so please provide step by step plans thnx

    If the missing songs are neither on the laptop or the iPod they are gone.  You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library.  If you then sync it to another iTunes library the iPod will be erased and it contents replaced with what is in the other iTunes library.  However, one can manage music amont multible computers/libraries.  See:

  • Can I sync certain itmes from one itunes account and certain items from another itunes account on the same ipad?

    I was wondering if an individual would be able to sync certain items from one itunes account and and items from a different itunes account to the same ipad?

    You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
    If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.

  • How to transfer music from 1 itunes library to another

    hello, i need help both my dada and i have 30gb ipod videos. He has some music on his ipod that i want to put on mine. how do i do that. My teacher says to create a new playlist, and then drag the files into my library.
    tahnks

    Your teacher doesn't know all the complications (why would you ask your teacher?). If you have no music on your iPod at all, then just connect your iPod to his computer, check off the songs you want, connect your iPod, and change its settings so that it will only add checked songs (you may have to update it twice). If you do have music on your iPod, you'll have to add the songs of his you want on your iPod to your own iTunes library/playlist (considering all the songs already on your iPod are on that playlist). If you'd like to put his songs onto your PC via his iPod, you can use PodUtil (google it) to rip his songs, and put them on your PC. Good luck.

  • Sharing some library items with another itunes library on the same computer

    My daughter had pretty much taken over my ipod, and thankfully just received her own for her birthday. I'm not interested in much of her music choice, so I think she should have her own itunes library; however many of the songs in my itunes library are ones she'll want in her library. We share a computer, is there a way I can share some of my songs with her (send copies to her itunes library)?

    No need for a 2nd Itunes library. My daughter has many songs I don't like, however we share the same Itunes library. What I do is create seperate playlists. Go to FILE / new folder... folder can then be named (yours) make another for daughter. Then from main library /music will list all songs.
    Left click and hold on the song to drag it over to your playlist. once over selected playlist it will turn blue, release left mouse. When you plug in you
    IPod click on box sync only checked songs and videos only. From the music tab
    click on circle Selected Playlists, then check your playlist and only your songs will load to your Ipod.
    When adding new songs they will have to be dragged from main music library to your playlists. Songs can be removed from playlists by right clicking on song and selecting delete. the song will be removed from the playlist but remain in the library, a prompt will tell you this. Hope this helps
