How to transfer music from one computer to another when they are at 2 diffe

yes hi I was wondering how do i get music off of my one computer to another when they are in two different homes. they are both authorized to my account but i have music on one that i want on my other. can anyone please help.

Hello!
To have same library on both of your authorized machines, you need first locate, on both of them, the iTunes Media Folder location (Preferences > Advanced) then you need make them syncronized. How to do this, will exists some tools, I will not go further about that stuff, you can google them... back to topic:
After you do any change to the files content of one library, you can just drag and drop the media folder on iTunes, it will rescan the library itself and update all changes you made.
Be aware if your machines are authorized on multiple accounts, you need be logged on store with the account used to purchase any drm-enabled song you want to listen.

    Hi lexipuppy,
    I dont know if you have your music on your other computer was on itunes, but if it was, make sure that you signed into your itunes account on your other computer. If you are signed in then your music should show up in your library.

  • HT3819 Can I transfer music from one computer to another via home sharing?

    Can I transfer my music from one computer to another via home sharing?

    So long as they are on the same wifi network, yes.
    Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
    Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
    Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
    If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.
    If there's a lot of stuff in the library you're transferring from, the transfer may take some time.

  • How to transfer music from one iphone to another without paying

    how do you transfer music from one iphone to another without paying?

    It depends on who owns the phones.  If you are just upgrading from one iPhone to another, you can use iTunes.
    If you're talking about "giving" the music to someone else with a different Apple ID, that's a whole different question.

  • How to transfer music from one account to another through an iphone?

    Recently, I was able to get a brand new laptop. I was excited to finally be able to purchase my own music from my own iTunes account, but over the past few years, I'd been buying songs off of my family's shared iTunes account. How can I transfer the songs I purchased from there onto my new iTunes library with my individual account?

    I'm afraid you cannot transfer purchased items from one account to another: this is a limitation imposed by the copyright owners. However recent purchases from the iTunes Store are not DRM-protected so you may be able to play them anyway if you manually copy them across. You will need to drag the out of the original iTunes to a folder on the desktop, and then transfer that to your new Mac and drag them into iTunes there. Try it with a few there and see if it works.
    Should you have any movies, though, these cannot  be transferred.

  • HELP!!!  Cannot transfer music from one computer to another?

    I have an older computer with itunes 7 and several purchased and music from CD's burned. The issue is that the older computer's cd-rw drive is broke. I just purchased a new computer. How do I get the music from my old computer into itunes on my new computer. I am using the 5th Gen 30GB ipod and have all of my music and podcasts on the ipod.

    I'm sorry i've been the only one replying you, i myself am waiting for replies on my own question.
    My advice is that there is no fail-safe device that can protect your files safely forever. The safest way is still to have more than 1 backup. You have your ipod and an external drive so thats 2 options, provided there's enough space. Remember the link i gave you in my 1st post? I just read about a 'Consolidate library' option and i felt it can be useful.
    Let me give you an example using Windows PC:
    I have 'Song A' on my desktop and 'Song B' in \My Documents\My Music. Assuming my itunes library is empty with no songs, by dragging these two songs into your itunes' music page, they will be added to your library. You should also know that unless you delete Song A from your desktop or move it to another location in that same PC, Song A will always play when u double-click it on itunes, this is basic information.....Ok, now i have 2 songs in my library, but they are in 2 diff directories of my PC. Go to the Advanced tab in iTunes and click 'Consolidate Library', this will create 1 new copy of Song A and B each in your \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music folder. Now connect your back-up device, it can be your ipod or an external drive, *copy the whole iTunes folder in the 'My Music' folder into your back-up device and back up is done,* according to the webpage.
    Just give it a try. Provided:
    1) you have enough disk space in your PC
    2) the original song file is still in your PC, somewhere. If an '!' appears next to a song name in iTunes, this means the original song file has either been deleted or moved to a new location within the PC, you'll need to find the song file so that iTunes can update its brain as to where the file has ended up in.
    3) you have enough disk space in your back-up device,
    you should be able to do a back-up. Connect the back-up device into your new PC and copy the iTunes folder into the new PC's 'My Music' folder. Open iTunes in your new PC and it should extract the Music Library from the iTunes folder you just pasted from the back-up device.
    Do you have songs in your new PC? Try the 'Consolidate Library' option on that PC first or any PC that has lesser songs cos by using this option, additional disk space is taken up to create the copies in the \My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music folder. Try to understand how this option works so that if you eventually do backup you won't accidently delete songs from either PC. It may be complicated, but do read up the link i provided earlier for more info...Cheers!

    I created a new apple id account and I want to transfer my music from my previous account to my new one. How do I do that?

    Navsamm, 
    You can't.  Music purchased from iTunes is associated in perpetuity (like, forever) to the account from which it was originally purchased.  There is not a way to change it. 
    It is possible, but clumsy, to manage music from multiple accounts.  Unless you have some unusual requirement, it is best to use just a single account.
