How to transfer and share songs between computers and IPhone 4

I have a few songs that were purchased on my laptop ITunes that are not on my iphone or desktop. When I tried to transfer them to my IPhone, I received the message that the songs on my Iphone would be replaced by the tunes on the laptop. How do I transfer or share tunes between computers so that each one has all of the songs in my library?

Simple - sync with iTunes as you are supposed to.

How to share files between computers and TC

What is the best way to share content/files between computers (iMac and MacBook Pro)?
I thought about using Time Capsule for this...is this NOT wise?
Thanks

What is the best way to share content/files between computers (iMac and MacBook Pro)?
The simplest way to do this would be to enable File Sharing on both Macs.
On each Mac....
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Sharing
Enter a check mark next to File Sharing
Now when you open the Finder or Macintosh HD, you will see the "other" Mac and you will be able to access files/folders, etc. on the other computer.
I thought about using Time Capsule for this...is this NOT wise?
The Time Capsule was designed to work with the Time Machine application to back up your Mac(s). As such, the TC will make a complete copy of each Mac on the first backup and backup any changes after that to keep a complete timeline of each Macs files. Each computer normally will only be able to access the backups for that given computer.
While it is possible to store normal files or folders on the Time Capsule disk, this is not generally recommended as there will eventually be a struggle between Time Machine and the files on the disk as the drive begins to fill up. The other thing to keep in mind is that access to the drive for "normal" files will be quite slow.

How do you share songs between accounts and different computers?

My mom and I both like a song. She bought it on iTunes and wants to give it to me to have as well but we don't know how to do that..... Any knowledge on this?

You can share an iCloud calendar with another iCloud user/ID either privately (which allows editing) or publically (which only allows viewing). This is explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a8694.

Can you share music between computers and seperate ipods?

I would like to know if I could share my itunes with someone on a different computer and with a seperate ipod. Me and my sister (who's in college) would like to continue sharing music because we usually split the cost of cds.
My main question is: Is it possible to share one itunes account with multiple ipods that can be accessed from any computer?
What we would like to do is continue sharing music without having to wait until both of our ipods are in the same location and using the same computer. It would be nice if I could get into the same account as her and when she adds music I also receive the music and when I add music she gets it as well.
This may be an impossible request but I have been searching the forums for hours trying to figure it out. If someone could please respond, even if it's not possible, that would be VERY helpful.
Thanks.

What you want is not supported with iTunes. You can both use the same account on different computers but what one downloads or adds will not be available to the other. If you are separated by location then CDs or DVDs recorded as data files are the best option. Record the files to disk then mail the disk. As long as you are both authorized to the same iTunes account I don't know of any issue with that.

How to transfer or share music from one iTunes iPhone to another iPhone with a different Apple ID?

When my son was younger he would get the music he wanted under my Apple ID on his iPod. Now he's older and has his own Apple ID. He still wants his music we paid for, which is tied to my Apple ID. Is there anyway to share or just transfer from one Apple ID to another on the device? I've read about sharing and authorizing on computers, but we don't have another computer to set up. Thank you all in advance!

You can't transfer music (nor any other content) from one account to another account, it will remain tied to the account that downloaded it. Also home sharing only works from a computer to a device (or to another computer), it doesn't work between iOS devices.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be redownloaded in all countries) then he could potentially log into your account on his iPod (I assume that it's an iPod Touch) and redownload his music on it, but that might tie his iPod to your account for 90 days : iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.

I'm having a problem with downloading multiple app updates and moving songs between iTunes and my external hard drive.

I'm having two problems with iTunes, but I'm not sure if they're related issues. First, when I try to click "Download All Updates" for apps, only one update will download and I will get successive error messages for all of the other updates. However, if I click update for each individual app, they download fine. Why am I not able to download all app updates simultaneously now.
My second issue is that I cannot move songs from iTunes to my external hard drive or vice versa. When I drag the files, the blue plus sign appears, but the file does not appear where I moved it to.
Both issues have been occuring for about month. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
The other issue doesn't ring any bells.

My husband and I use the same computer. He has his Itunes library that updates his ipod. I have my ITunes library that updates my ipod. How can we share songs between us?

My husband and I use the same home computer. He has his ITunes library that links to his Ipod. I have my ITunes library that links to my Ipod. How can we share songs between our libraries? (Windows - Vista)

No. Its not possible.
Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.

How do I drag and drop files between computers when using Home Sharing in ITunes?

How can I drag music files between computers while using Home Sharing? An older version of ITunes had a Home Sharing icon in the column browser near the playlist so it was easy to drag and drop.

Hello cacalenni,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you wish to learn how to import songs using Home Sharing in the new iTunes. The following resource should assist you in doing so:

How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

Turn on File Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing, then you should be able to see them in the other Macs' Finder sidebars (under Shared). Click on them, click Connect As, and log in with the user credentials you're sharing from.

Is it possible to share a sequence between computers and different projects?

Is it possible to share a sequence between computers and different projects without copying the sequence, closing the project, opening the new project and pasting in the sequence. This workflow is to slow when it takes 40 minutes for Premierer Pro CC to load a 4tb project. Just this simple thing would take 80 minutes.

Okey, I found out how to import the seaquens, it is actually possible to make that choice after you click to import seaquence. But the problem is i do not want to import the media again. I already have that media in the other projekt. And once importingit it is offline and when I want to delete it it want to remove things from the timeline defeting the purpus. Is there a way to get aroun the fact that the program wants to import the media with the timeline.
The thing is that I want to editing on two computer. On the second computer I will edit just a few scenes that I will later bring back in to the big project that has all the material. I have been copying the material for a few scenes to another external drive and also copied the big projekt and then opened this on my laptop. Then I made all the missing material offline while the projekt found the existing material. I editid the material. Copied the projekt and opened it on my stationary editing computer and copied the timeline with the scene that I had been working on while the media was loading, then shut down the project and opend the old big projekt and pasted the timeline in to the project.
Is there an easier way?
It would be nice to be able to import the timeline (without importing the media) when I have the program opened. Since it takes 40 minutes for my media to load.

How to share files between pc and mac via external hard drive

how can i share my files(mp3,mp4,documents) from my harddisk with mac. i am a new mac user and i have a harddisk of NTFS format(as i was a pc user).I learned that mac supports FAT32 format and therefore i can't write data on my external hard drive.
but, reading a section of OSX yosemite(under compatibility) it is said that now we can easily share files between pc and mac.
So please suggest me easier way that how can i share files between macs and pc as my friends uses pc and in future i really want to share my data with them without any hustle and i dont wanna loose my data in future

You can format the HDD to a common one like ExFAT or Fat32 but a reformat will delete all data off of the HDD.
Your other option is to use a third party software such as Paragon or Tuxera that will allow you to write to a NFTS formatted HDD.
Ciao.

How to transfer camara roll videos between ipods for working on iMovie?

I would like to share homemade videos between 6 ipods. We are using them for a school project. I have already tried using Itunes, dropbox... and it doesn't work.
I know how to copy videos to my computer and I also know how to add them using iTunes.
The point is that I need to share videos between ipods, and be able to work on iMovie using those videos. For example, I´m working on a project using 6 different iPod. When we are finish recording the videos, we want to transfer all of them to one Device. Is that possible? How?
Thank you,

Share catalogue between computers

I need some advice for how to arrange my Elements catalogue when I have several computers.
How should I set up Photoshop Elements 7?
Alt1. I have a desktop with enough harddisk space for the whole catalogue (which is now on a network disk (server)), problem is I almost never use the desktop, only the laptops) (I don't dare the setup any more as I've had major problems with it )
Alt2. I have 2 laptops with not enough room for the pics, but I can perhaps put them on an external drive and share them between the different computers - is that risky?
My consern is that I might have problems accessing the pics if they are corrupted again, if sharing between computers, but on the other hand I want easy access to them as well.
What setup would you advice?
How do I most safely move the catalogue from the server to the computer/drive I will use?
Thanks in advance

It seems that the new version of iPhoto will no longer share photos between computers on the same network. Can anyone confirm this?

I have "automatically create previews" in the preferences UNCHECKED. Why is Aperture creating previews? For the screen image?
You might also need to turn Preview generation off for any existing Projects. Select the Project in the Projects pane and use the cog button at the top of the pane to uncheck 'Maintain Previews For Project'.
