How to sync the iTunes songs library with other two computers thru iPhone?

I have three Apple computers, the main being iMac 24", on which I usually purchase music from iTunes and import from my CDs. Thus, it has the biggest collection of songs, roughly about 1200. I also sync my iPhone 3GS 32 GB with this comp, and songs fill in slightly more than 6 GB on iPhone. But then when I sync my iPhone with the MacBook Air or my old PowerBook G4, about 2 GB of songs disappear, reducing the songs library to what is on the computers, while I'd like to transfer all songs (newly purchased and imported) from the iPhone to those comps, too, which are BTW, respectively authorized.
Seems to be a simple issue, and I read all Help content, and tried all iTunes Menu functions, but can't solve it! Any help from real Apple experts?

here are some reads that may be helpful:

  • How to download the same song(track) with different keys? iTunes seems to think I have already downloaded the song and will not download the song in a different key of the Demo Track

    How to download the same song(track) with different keys? iTunes seems to think I have already dowloaded the song and will not let me download the song in a different key or the Demo.

    Hello Jigz19,
    It sounds like you are unable to play a couple of songs from your library becuase you get a message that the computer is unauthorized to play, but other content purchased that same day works without issue. I would verify that the affected songs were purchased with the same Apple ID first:

    Open iTunes
    Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
    Choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab.
    The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
    If so, then delete the songs:

  • How to use the d3.js library with Apex Charting

    Hello.
    I am using Apex 4.1.0 with Oracle 11gR2 and Oracle App Server (mod_plsql).
    I'm trying to incorporate the d3.js library (a visulaization framework) in my Apex charts but am not having much success.
    I found this article in which David Mann uses the library within an Apex 4.x application:
    http://ba6.us/d3js_application_express_basic_dynamic_action
    I replicated his exact steps in my own application but without success. I do not see how he was able to get his application to work. Indeed, the tutorial does not even use a dynamic action despite what the article title says.
    Has any one used the d3.js library with their Apex application. If so, would you be willing to share how you went about it?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello fac586.
    Thank you very much for responding/helping.
    In the article I referenced I did note David's statement about using a "modern" browser with d3.js (one that recognizes css3 syntax); otherwise, the framework will not respond. And so, I was careful to run my Apex application in IE9.x as well in Firefox 16.x. But all I see is an empty region with a title. No chart. Nothing.
    I suspect my one of my problems here is in getting the chart to refresh every "n" seconds. For this, I think the dynamic action would be used, though I'm not sure how to go about doing so.That's included in the sample code (line 99). Strangely Dynamic Actions don't seem to include a native timer event...however there is a plug-in.
    More problematic, though, is that I am not seeing any chart whatsoever in the region. I would have expected to see some chart data, even if it is not automagically refreshing.
    I've created my example in my EEG workspace on apex.oracle.com:
    Workspace: EEG
    Username: [email protected]
    Password: galaxy (note: all lowercase)
    Please see application 27083 called Elie_Goodies, page 25. This page has an associated tab called, appropriately enough, "d3.js Library". The Safari console showed a couple of JavaScript errors.
    1. The URL used to include the d3 code in the blog article:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://mbostock.github.com/d3/d3.js"></script>is returning HTML, not JavaScript. Changing it to that given on the d3js.org site:
    <script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v2.js"></script>includes the correct script.
    2. There was a syntax error in a script in the Run Code region. I think there was some kind of issue arising from copying from the blog article: it looked like line endings hadn't been respected as the code wasn't formatted properly. Pasting it from the blog into Coda's editor and then into the APEX Region Source text area fixed the format, and it then ran first time.
    Thanks for the heads-up. I'll also be looking further into d3.

  • SYNC PURCHASED iTUNES SONGS & TV SHOWS ON TWO MACS

    I have a Mac Pro at home with a huge iTUNES library. I have authorized my MACBOOK PRO. I want to have a small selection of music and TV SHOWS from my MAC PRO to be on my MACBOOK PRO. What is the best way to have purchased material on two authorized computers?
    I use CHRONOSYNC to keep files in sync between the two computers. Can I also do this for iTUNES or will that mess things up?
    Thanks

    Then I must be doing something wrong. I have both computers on and they are connected through my home network. I have made the items I want on the MAC PRO to be SHARED, so I can see them as SHARED items on my MACBOOK PRO iTUNES. How do I move/copy them into the actual iTUNES on the laptop? I tried FILE>ADD TO LIBRARY but that does do anything.
    Thanks for your help.

  • New laptop, how do I transfer iTunes and library from other computer?

    I still have the original disk to install iTunes, but it won't install properly. My biggest worry is that I'm going to have to re-download all of my songs once I get iTunes onto my new commputer. Can someone tell me how I can transfer everything over, or if it's even possible?

    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your second computer is to network it with the first one and copy your iTunes folder across. Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
    Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). Everything has to be exactly the same on the new computer including the Windows user account name. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
    You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the first computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the second computer.
    If you have an iPod it can be used as an external drive and you can move the iTunes folder onto it: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • The Sync seem not working between my other two computers, one in the spare roon, one in the hall and one in the master bedroom.

    Previous version when I use sync for all these three computers it seem to work fine and also can I install Xmark.

    Hi!
    Before Firefox 7 the service used to take some time to upload the changes and then to download them. Make sure that you wait several hours to confirm that it's not something else.
    You can force them by using the "Sync Now" option in the Tools menu.
    Fortunately, the behavior have changed with Firefox 7 and now the bookmark changes are instant.

  • How can I authorize itunes songs purchased with ID that no longer exists?

    I bought an Macbook Pro and am transferring all the songs I bought from
    my old laptop to the Macbook. Some of the songs were purchased from
    itunes using two different apple IDs that don't exist anymore. I tried to
    authorize the Macbook to play these songs using the old ID and password but it
    doesn't work (I'm pretty certain I have the correct passwords but it is possible they are wrong). Please don't tell me I can't listen to these songs
    anymore. Is there anything I can do?
    Joseph

    I have exactly the same problem! When I try to play a song purchased under an old Apple ID (before I moved to Japan), I get: "This computer is not authorized to play "(song title)". Would you like to authorize it? To play this song you must authorize this computer to play songs purchased using the account "(my OLD Apple ID)". You may authorize up to 5 computers for each account."
    I tried to authorize the song using my OLD Apple ID and password, but it didn't work because that Apple ID no longer exists. The weird thing is that after trying to authorize a song with my NEW Apple ID, the computer tells me I have successfully authorized it but then the song won't play and I get the same Authorize Computer dialogue box popping up again when I click the play button or double-click the song title.
    It's VERY frustrating!

  • How do I share one Iphoto library with other User accounts on the same iMac

    I have created a shared Iphoto Library. When I add this to one of the user accounts, it copies all the pictures instead of sharing the same library. The result is that it uses memory.
    Is it possible to create a shared library that is shared by all the users without actually copy all the pictures to each users Iphoto library?

    Hi MikaelK,
    SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
    Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
    You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
    Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
    -both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
    -both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
    -Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.

    SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
    You can try one of these three methods:
    1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
    The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
    2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
    3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
    4- I have also read about ShareAlike
    There is no other info on the site about how it works.
    I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.

  • How to sync the changes in Crsytal With repsect to changes in BVM?

    Hi,
    I made some changes in Business View, but dont know how to reflect those changes in the respective Crystal report without restarting application.
    I tried with Refesh, Log On/Off Server in Repository Explorer but the changes did not reflected in report.
    Could any one please help on this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ashish B.

    As far as I can tell the only way for Crystal Reports to accept changes in the Business Views, Elements or Foundations is to exit and reopen Crystal Reports.  If you go to verify database before restarting, it does not register the changes, but if you restart and then go to verify database (or run the report) then the changes are picked up.  Not sure if this will be fixed in BOER3 or CR2008, but I hope so.

  • Upgraded to Mavericks but now I can't work out how to share my iPhoto 11 library with other computers on our home network?

    Any tips? There doesn't seem to be a sharing option under Preferences > General anymore?

    That feature has been removed from iPhoto.  They want you to use Shared Photo Streams to share with the other Macs. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • How to access the whole iTunes iCloud Library with an Android phone?

    Hello all,
    I am a newbie here, so please forgive me if I'm not following protocol here.  I searched for the word "Android" in all of the support docs. and got 0 hits!  Is there a corporate policy at work here?
    I know that Google and Apple (and by extension Android and iOS) are competing hard for all of us techie music lovers out there who use both ecosytems.  Well, Google Play wants to have my entire music library, Apple's ever at the ready with iTunes/iCloud/Match, and now I've even gotten solicitations from Amazon which has a "Cloud MP3 Player" with purchases ready to download that I made from Amazon in 2010, before I ever dreamed of getting MP3 files instead of a physical CD.  I mean the liner notes had the lyrics to the songs right?  Well, I enjoy looking at lyrics.  Anyways, . . .
    What are the best recommendations for how to access my iCloud music library with my Android phone? 
    Yes, one solution is to use both Google's and Apple's services and just duplicate everything everywhere.  But, I'd just like to settle on iTunes/iCloud solution, but I have a brand new Android phone that I want to use.  The iPhone 5 screen doesn't come close to my Motorola Droid RAZR Max HD!  :-)  Sorry, all you iPhone folks.  You have all the app's., so I have to latch on to somethine for a reason why I stayed with Android! 
    Thanks,

    Apple is pretty much the only one who does not support other platforms and it will be their downfall in the future. I have bought a few hundred tracks (and one movie) from iTunes before the competition started to catch up. Their Cloud service just came into Finland but I've already moved on to others. I've also bought music from Spotify, Nokia Music and Xbox Music. I've been a subscriber of Nokia Music, Xbox Music and now Google Music. I'm also a Netflix subscriber and I have a local IPTV service that also provides movie rentals from various providers - and guess what, they also work on all platforms.
    The reality is that today was the first time in a long long time that I've actually even bothered to open iTunes. Lack of platform support will destroy iTunes in the long run. Apple is starting to look like Microsoft once did. Today you can even get Office for almost every platform - even mobile devices.
    Limited access and/or features is also one of the biggest reasons that turn people away from legit services. DRM protected music was the reason I had over 20,000 MP3s before it was removed from iTunes. When that happened I deleted all the old files and became a honest, paying customer.

    How do I get the Itunes Music Library to stop showing and asking me to purchase the songs I have drug in for playlist?

    If I make a playlist of my favorite Sax players by dragging there songs from their homepage into my playlist not purchasing them.  Those songs appear along side my regular songs in my overall music library with option to buy them.  The only way to get rid of them in my Music library seems to be to delete the playlist.
