How to transfer one itunes library to another itunes already synced with some other device?

i have two laptops. both are authorized for use with my ios devices. one is authorized for use with my ipod nano 5th generation and the other one is authorized with my ipad3 and iphone 5. i am manually managing the itunes in my 2nd laptop in case of my iphone. now what i want is to transfer my ipod library from the 1st laptop to the 2nd laptops itunes and deauthorize the 1st laptop. is that possible? please help, as it is getting harder for me to manage two itunes in two different laptops.

See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, particularly if you want to change the library the iOS devices sync with. If you already have all the media in both libraries but want to recover playlists, ratings and play counts from a device into the "wrong" library my scripts ImportDevicePlaylists and SyncStats may be useful.

  • How do I copy songs from one itunes library to another itunes library on the same computer?

    I want to share some songs in my iTunes library with my granddaughter's iTunes library, both of which are located on the same computer.  I managed to copy one of the songs through Finder to the location where the music resides, but it doesn't appear when I access her iTunes.  Can someone tell me an easy way to copy only certain songs from one iTunes library to another iTunes library on the same computer?

  • Hey!  I recently had to reboot my computer and reinstall itunes.  I now want to update my iPad but it is not allowing me to save my apps in my itunes library because it is already connected with my old library from before I rebooted.  What do I do?

    The solution is fairly easy IF the items that you are concerned about are all items that have been obtained from the iTunes Store AND they were all purchased using the same Apple ID.  First, with the iPad disconnected from the computer, fire up iTunes.  Look to the right side top and confirm that that Apple ID is displayed.  If it is not, go to "Account" and log into that ID.  Then, connect the iPad.  Say "yes" to the "Transfer Purchases" choice.  Everything on the iPad will be transferred to the computer's iTunes library.
    If anything goes wrong, you can download all purchased items again with no charge (except movies) provided that you use the same Apple ID.
    If you have been using multiple Apple IDs, it's a bit more complicated.  Post back and we'll go from there.

  • How do I delete Apple TV from syncing with my other devices

    How do I delete Apple TV from syncing with my other devices?

    What do you mean syncing?  The ATV does not sync with other devices.

  • Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

    Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

    Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
    Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

  • I have two ipods that cannot sync to my macbook because i had to replace the hard drive in the mac.  the ipods say they are synced to another itunes library and can't be synced with my new itunes account.  help!

    i have two ipods that are synced to my previous itunes account that was on my macbook before the hard drive crashed.  i can't sync with the new itunes on the new hard drive - help!

    Why did you start a new account?
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your computer to your new hard drive.
    Ipod will sync to one itunes library at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content from the ipod.

  • How to transfer itunes library to another iTunes library on my external HD

    Previously I created a duplicate iTunes library on a external HD that I partitioned.
    Recently I redid my music from ACC to AIFF as I got a larger HD with a new iMac.
    I created a new library to store the AIFF files and I completed the entries and them merged them into my regular iTunes library.
    It went without any problems.
    Now I want to transfer the songs to the EXternal HD iTunes library.
    I have additional songs on the external HD so I would like to keep that library OR merge the two into a new library on my external HD.
    How do I accomplish this.
    Sorry if it is a simple question but I just want to make sure I do not lose anything.
    MY External HD is a backup to the iMAC so I have the the iTunes main account on a separate partition.
    Greg

    Let me try and ask this another way as perhaps this is not doable.
    Can I transfer the external HD iTunes library to my iMAC library ?
    This way I have the full library and then I can transfer the iMAC main library back to the external HD (partitioned side) library.
    I just want to ensure that I do not lose my songs from the external HD and not have to reenter them from CD's.
    Thanks, Greg

  • When i try and sync my phone with itunes Manually it says it already synced with another library "Admin" and will erase all content and replace with contrent from Itunes library

    When I try to sync my Iphone with Itunes i am getting the error message about it being synced to another I tunes library.  I switched to manually manage music and now the eroor says i am synced to another itunes library "Admin" and all existing content on the phone will be replaced with content from the Itunes library.

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Help!  Can't sync due to itunes says my ipod is already synced with another

    I deleted and reinstalled i-tunes. Now, when I try to sync, it says my i-pod is synced with another computer. How do I get it to recognize this as the only computer that it is synced with?

    Assuming that everything on the iPod is still in your iTunes library, just go ahead and let it re-sync the iPod and now it will be associated with the new library.
    Is there anything on the iPod that you do not have safely stored on your computer?

  • Can I burn my iTunes library to DVD or back it up some other way?

    Hi, I'm about to do a system upgrade, so I wanted to burn my I-tunes library to DVD for back-up.  I have over 600 songs, so using CDs would not be practical.  I also don't have an external storage device and all my other backed up stuff on DVD, so the I-tunes library would be the last thing I'd still need to back up.
    If using a DVD isn't possible, is there a way to upload the songs into I-cloud perhaps?  I have an Ipad with I-cloud, but my old computer doesn't have it (2008 Imac, Leopard, using Itunes version 10.6).  It's about 3.6 GB worth of songs and one 50 min TV-show.

  • Ipod nano does not sync with itunes library, ipod nano does not sync with itunes library

    bought an ipod nano, upgraded Itunes to version 11 running on Windows 8.
    My nano is set  up with a different apple ID than my main account, but it won't sync with my Itunes Library, When I plug it in via USB, the IPOD nano icon shows up in Itunes, but when I do File>Devices>Sync,  the Snyc is grayed out.
    does the differenct apple ID on the nano have anything to do with the fact that it is different from my Itunes Apple ID, is that causing a problem? Most of the music in my library is uploads from CDs I had already owned, not Itunes purchases. 
    Solutions?

    Automatic syncing is set up on the iPod's Music tab in iTunes, which is where you tell iTunes how to sync your iPod.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Music there.
    To use automatic syncing, the checkbox for Sync Music is checked.  Below that, you can choose to sync Entire music library, if it fits on iPod.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.
    With the latter choice, you can create a selection of songs to sync to the iPod by selecting (checkmarking) playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres on the Music tab.  For example (if you want to keep it simple), you can create a new playlist in iTunes and add all songs you want on the iPod to that playlist.  Back on the Music tab, checkmark that playlist.  There are many ways to set it up...
    When you Apply the change, your selection of songs syncs to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, any changes in the iTunes Music library that are related to your selection of songs on the Music tab sync automatically to the iPod when you connect it, or when you click Sync.
    Therefore, if you create that playlist with songs you want on the iPod, and select it on the iPod's Music tab, you can simply update that playlist in iTunes (add and remove songs) whenever you want, and those changes sync to the iPod automatically at the next opportunity.

  • ITunes hangs when I try to sync with my apple devices

    Hello,
    I have followed troubleshooting article iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch  but this hasn't help me fix the issue.
    I am running OS/X 10.9.4 and iOS 7.1.2
    When I create a new user account on my MAC  the devices connect fine.  If I create another  iTunes Library on my original user account then iTunes still hangs when I connect the devices. The article doesn't describe what to do next.  What other configuration information is there that is common across both iTunes Libraries?
    Thank you,

    Back up all data.

  • HT5312 how to transfer redeems payment to my another iTunes account?

    I bought a gift card and put it in one of my itune account.
    But when it ask me to ans my security question, i realize iforgot them.
    I also noticed i forgot to add a rescue email address when i create it that time.
    So, i want to transfer my redeems to another account.
    Can anyone help, please?

    An account's balance can't be transferred to another account - all of its purchases will also remain tied to the account.
    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use.

    Hi Ankur, there are different ways to handle this depending upon your need. One way wud be to create a new BP and select the same in both the BP under payment consolidation , or what you can do is, first make payments for your old BP so that the open invoices are closed and then pass a JE..
