How-to sync my Macbook pro with my main iTunes library on another computer?

I bet that question came up already, but I can't easily find any reference to it. Anyways, here I go.
I have a desktop @ home with 1TB of disk space, and I'm using a Macbook Pro as my work laptop. I'd like to be able to sync up my Macbook Pro as if it was an iPod or appletv, so I can bring my music at work and even sync my movies when I travel.
Is that possible using iTunes and if not, does Apple have any plans to implement that feature? I don't want to use a 3rd party software or start playing with rsync to do that. iTunes should be able to support it.
Thanks!
David

He wants to take his laptop to work away from his home network so the itunes sharing won't work with that.
There are some streaming server options you can setup such as slimserver http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_features.html
I've used that and it gives you access to your library. Gotta have an internet connection but its easier than copying songs back and forth all the time.

  • How to sync my macbook pro with my imac?

  • How to sync new Macbook Pro with 2011 iMAC on Snow Leapord

    Hello,
    This is my first post so hello!
    My small business has an office iMAC and a Macbook Air both running 10.6.8. The two aren't synced in any way other than that the Air can access files from the iMAC's hard drive via the network. I have 2 email accounts on the iMAC's mail and just one of them set up on the Air.
    I've just bought a new 15" Macbook Pro running Lion.
    I'd like to be able to sync some folders (but definitely not all), bookmarks, iTunes and mail accounts between the iMAC and the new Macbook Pro. Ideally I'd like to be able to access the shared/synced folders when I don't have an internet connection
    What's the best method?
    Snow Leapord doesn't have iCloud does it? If not, why the **** not?
    Is it just easiest to set up the email accounts on the new MBP as normal and then use dropbox for the folders I want to share? Can I access the with no internet connection?
    One other question, can i link a gmail account to my Apple mail?
    Thanks for any help.
    Best wishes
    Dave.

    No.  It was a feature that was introduced with the release of 10.7.2.  I do not know why it was not introduced on earlier versions.  Probably the same reasons why some features will be introduced in later versions of OS X that will not be found on older versions.

  • I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro.  My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook.  They are all associated with the same Apple ID.  How do I get all of my music on the laptop?

    I have an iMac, an iPhone, and a MacBook Pro.  My full iTunes library is on the iMac and iPhone, but only a handful of songs are on my MacBook.  They are all associated with the same Apple ID.  When I try to sync, I get a warning message stating that I will lose songs on my phone which aren't on the laptop.  How transfer my music from my phone to the laptop?

    Hey kbert73
    I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.

    Restore from backup if you have one.
    You can also transfer stuff from your iPod if you have one:

    If you are in the US or Canada you can download purchased music from the Purchased link in the iTunes store.
    Otherwise if the disk drive is OK in your Old PC you can remove it and put it in a USB drive enclosure and then use it as an external disk on your new PC, then you copy the muisc from there.

  • How to slave a Macbook pro with no OS

    Helping a friend who just got a (Macbook pro 2) secondhand without any OS installed (HD wiped clean).
    He is replacing his current MB Pro that is running 10.4.11.
    I hoped a USB to USB would allow the new computer to be recognized as a HD on the desktop of the old one, but that's not working.
    How do I get the old one (MB Pro) to recognize the new OS-less one (Macbook pro 2) so that I can clone the old computer to the new. He cannot find any disks in his house after version 9 (!!), so I cannot install another copy of the OS on the new computer and slave it directly.
    Any ideas how to accomplish this? Seems like it ought to be easy, but I'm doing this long distance without the computers in front of me, and I'm at a loss.
    Thanks for your help.

    Connect them with a Firewire cable then Boot the old MacBook Pro with 'T' held down to force Target disc mode (will appear as a Volume on the other Desktop) then you should be able to clone over.

  • How to buy a MacBook Pro with a Swedish keyboard?

    Hello,
    I work at a University, we have a new researcher here that wants us to purchase a MacBook Pro with a Swedish keyboard. For three weeks we have been unable to get anywhere. We have a University account manager, but she hasn't made any progress. We are willing to pay the retail price of a MacBook Pro in Sweden, we just can't get anyone to take our money.
    We can't be the only University in America that has a need for foreign language support.
    Thanks for listening.
