How to view purchased music on another computer

I am trying to login to my iTunes account on a computer other than the one I usually use and listen to my purchased music. Supposedly, I am authorized to play purchased music on 5 machines simultaneously. however, I cannot view or find my purchased music when I logon to the second machine. Only the purchased music from the normal iTunes user on the second machine shows up. Is there a way to accomplish what I am trying?

Charles, we often see posts here from folks who mistakenly think that their iTunes library is on a central server somewhere, and that they can log in from anywhere and see it. It is not. Your iTunes library is right there on your PC.
If you want to see (or listen to) your songs on another PC, you have to copy the song files from your PC onto the other PC, perhaps using a flash (USB) drive, and add them to the iTunes library on the second machine. If any of the songs are protected, you will need to authorize that computer to your account.

  • Plyaing purchased music on another computer

    How do you play your purchased music on another computer?... I downloaded an album on to my other computer, is there any way where i can get it onto this cmoputer without purchasing it again?

    You'll need to physically move the files any way you like (email, usb key, CD, etc...). The other computer will have to have iTunes installed. You bring the files into iTunes by dragging into iTunes' window or doing File->add to library from iTunes. When you play the song it will ask you for your iTunes account and password.
    You can authorize up to 5 computers to play your iTunes purchased songs.

    How do I purchase music from another country?
    For example I'm from Canada and I wanted to purchase music only available from itunes in England.
    itunes will not let me buy music only available in other countries.
    Is there a way around this? can I change my profile somehow?
    I really wanted to get the Nicola Roberts album.
    Thank you

  • How can I download music from another computer's music library to my Ipod without losing my own music?

    How can I download music from another computer's music library to my ipod without losing my own music?

    You'll want to enable Manually Manage Music and Videos. Once you do that you'll be able to drag and drop the music from the computer to the iPod.

  • How to view aperture library from another computer on network?

    Hi,
    I'd like to simply view (not edit) my aperture library from another computer on my home network. The aperture library resides on a mac pro, and I'd like to see the images on a macbook pro to show family members. On the surface, this seems like a simple concept - as Apple TV can do this with home sharing. Further, itunes can share it's library in this manner.  Is this possible?
    thank you,
    T

    You don't mention which OS you're using and I understand that Lion has changed some of the sharing features but  what you are looking to do is doable.
    Be warned that accessing an Aperture library over a network is slow and definitely not something you want to do if editing except in an emergency and you want to make triple sure that only one user is accessing the library at a time.  But I regularly access libraries over wireless when I'm to lazy to walk across the house and need to check somthing out.
    If you are using Snow Leopard go into System preferences->Sharing and tune on file sharing on the the Mac Pro. If you have the same user name on both systems you should have no problem accessing the library from the MBP.
    If you're on Lion, you'l need to lok up how to enable file sharing. I haven't swithced so I can;r help you there.
    good luck

  • How to download purchased music onto new computer (please)?

    How can I get my purchased music back onto a new computer? Old one crashed, only had some of my music on the ipod. I've followed some posts to get the ipod music back to the computer, but I see songs in itunes purchase history that are not showing up anywhere (that I can see). Is there any way to get these back? I tried the option that iTunes lists for downloading purchased music, but these didn't seem to download. Can anyone help? I'm not real computer savvy so please explain it "for dummies." thanks

    JustMeAndYou,
    For what it's worth ...
    Apple's policy is clear: iTS purchases can be downloaded only once. It is your responsibility to make back-ups . (For most people, this will involve either CD's/DVD's or an external drive .)
    That being said, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can ask for an exception by submitting the form on this page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
    Good Luck! But whatever the response from Apple, remember:
    Your music is valuable - please back it up!

  • Seeing purchased music on another computer

    I purchased music on my home computer and I want to be able to see it on my work computer. Is this possible? Sharing doesn't work, because it is two different networks. I was thinking that since both computers are authorized I would be able to see my purchased music list, but that's not so.

    Tom,
    Burn your purchased files to an iTunes "Data CD" (Preferences -> Advanced -> Burning) and take the files to work. Copy them onto your PC and then into iTunes. When you start playback on one of them, it should ask for your iTunes account password to complete the authorization process on that computer. At that point, all songs bought under that account and copied onto that computer will then playback.
    You cannot redownload the tracks directly from Apple, you have to get them to the other computers on your own.

  • How Do I Get Music From Another Computer That Already Has ITunes/Ipod insta

    Here's the story - I have a Video Ipod. I have music on it from my ITunes that I installed on my computer (PC). My sister has her own computer with her own itunes and her own ipod installed on it (same model Ipod and same version Itunes and also a PC). I want her music. I want it on my Ipod. How do I do this?
    When I connected my ipod to her computer it said that another user was using Ipod software and that they had to log off before it would recognize my ipod. How do I do this without affecting her Itunes/Ipod settings? Help? Thank you....

    what you are asking is illegal.. sharing music is illegal.

  • How do I download my music onto another computer, when I no longer have the music on another computer, ipod, or any other storage device?

    Just as it says: How can I download music again that I have already bought and downloaded once on another computer?
    I no longer have the music on another computer (I no longer have the original computer) and the only other place I put the music was my Ipod that I lost. (Im sure its somewhere in my house, but can't seem to find it)

    Whether you can re-download your past music purchases will depend upon what country that you are in. On the iTunes store home page on your computer there should be a Puchased option under Quick Links on the right-hand side of it - go into that and see if music is an option for re-downloading
