How would I sync up my iTunes account across all my computers?

As you can see from my spec list I have an iMac and an iBook, I want to sync up all my iMac's iTunes tracks onto the iBook, which has a fraction of the tracks the iMac has which I transferred over via USB drive. iTunes lets us keep our tracks across 5 machines, so how can I just make all my tracks available in my iBook's playlist? I don't think it would be a problem, just the USB method was tedious which is why I'm looking for a more comprehensive way.

Never mind, I looked through the help menu in Finder and it just said to hook them up with an Ethernet cable, I did that and they went over to the other computer no problem.

    Now that iCloud has done away with galleries, how can we share as I did with MobileMe? How can we sync non-Apple email accounts across multiple computers?

    You will need to find a third party solution for online storage in order to share things like photos with others. Some popular solutions to this are dropbox and sugarsync.
    You cannot sync non-iCloud email accounts across your iOS devices and computers unless they are IMAP accounts like iCloud. If they are IMAP accounts, you will do it in the same way as you have always done.

  • I am trying to figure out how I can have a "main" itunes account for all purchases, but have seperate accounts for my children so they can use iMessage and other features of iPod touch. Also, they would be able to download free items.

    Can you have one install of iTunes on a PC or Mac, but have multiple Apple IDs tied to it?

    You can't have multiple IDs associated with an itunes account, but you can have one ID one 1 device and another one, but currently its impossible to merge accounts.

  • Have gone through my quota of computers with my itunes account.  All previous computers have been scrapped.  Don't know how to deauthorize previous computers so I can use the latest with itunes.

    Tried to install itunes and my latest ipod nano on my latest computer.  First  itunes wants me to delete everything on this ipod to sync with itunes.  Then I attempted to get into my itunes account and am told that I have my maximum number of computers connected to my account and would have to deauthorize one to authorize my current computer.  I don't have any of the previous five computers to be able to deauthorize one... they have all been scrapped.   What do I do now?

    Deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.

  • How to automatically sync a shared itunes library between all accounts?

    Hi Guys
    I have my itunes library on a separate drive in my desktop computer. My account points on this desktop to this library. I have another account on my laptop, set to automount this drive. iTunes on the laptop points to this library also. Both have admin rights to the iTunes library drive. I can add music or files from either account.
    In order to sync what each account sees in iTunes, the iTunes Library file and the xml file in each accounts' iTunes folder needs to be the same in both accounts.
    This is a pain whenever I have added to the library, eg downloaded a podcast, or ripped a CD. I know I can either manually drag the added files into the window of the iTunes that needs updating, or I can copy the iTunes Library file and the xml file from the most recently modified iTunes, or I can export the added playlist from the newer iTunes then add it to the older iTunes. All of these manual methods are not ideal.
    Now, my question is, has anyone achieved an automated way of doing this with the minimum degree of fuss? I'm thinking along the lines of Automator perhaps, or using a backup program on either computer to sync the library files say every night. Or is there another way. Or is my method of sharing one library not the best way. (I know I can use iTunes sharing, but it means I can't modify the library from all accounts.)
    Any comments?
    Thanks
    Michael

  • TS4223 how do i sync from i tunes account for purchased and rented movies on to my ipad

    How do i sync from my itunes account to my ipad for rented and movies i have purchased

    Yes you can do that. The problem comes from the fact that you both used the same Apple ID to purchase or download Apps. Purchased apps are associated with the Apple ID used to purchase them.
    I would just go ahead and back up all info on the old iPad to your computer. Then restore and erase the old iPad and set it up as new. Get a separate Apple ID for your wife and enter only her email settings. She might have to repurchase those non free apps that she might want but to me this is a small price to pay.

  • HT204053 How do I delete my existing iCloud account (on ALL my apple devices), and start over from scratch??

    How do I delete my existing iCloud account (across ALL my apple devices), and start over from scratch??
    (cant seem to get calendars to ever sync right, on my devices, and across to my wifes'....so want to start with a "clean installation")

    Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
    If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen.
    I also strongly suggest that you and your wife use different icloud accounts, otherwise all your devices will have the same data on them, same emails, reminders, etc.  Most likely not what you want.

  • I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that are not synced with my iTunes account on my computer.  How can I sync my phone and iTunes on my computer without losing what is on my iPhone?  (original computer was stolen)

    I have some music from CDs and recent purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4 that I would like to sync with my iTunes account on my computer.  The CDs were on my original laptap also, but it was stolen and I set up the iTunes on my new computer.
    When I try to sync I get a message indicating that the iPhone iTunes will be replaced with the computer iTunes.
    How can I sync and retain both iTunes?

    Music is designed to sync in one way only, and that is from iTunes to the phone. There is the expectation that you would backup the computer to save this data. There are 3rd party solutions to try and recover music from the phone to put back into a blank iTunes library.

  • I am sharing a account with my mother. I would like to change my itune account to a separate account. How can I do that without affecting her itune account?

    I share a itune account with my mother.  I would like to set up my own itune account keeping all my info and library from my itune account.  How do I go about setting up my own account without affecting her account and her itunes?  It seems if she gets a new app it appears on my phone and visa versa.  After I change my account will there be a problem syncing it with my phone and ipad?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
    Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

    But how many ipod can I sync with only one iunes store account?
    None.
    iPod don't sync with an iTunes account.
    iPods sync with iTunes on a computer.
    You can have 5 computers authorized to play songs/movies from one iTunes account.
    Each computer can have 5 iTunes accounts authorized.
    An iPod can have music/movies from 5 different iTunes accounts.
    Note that this only applies to iTunes purchases with DRM, which is movies, tv shows and older iTunes music. All music now purcahsed is DRM free.

    How do I get my old contacts that were last synced on my ITunes account through my laptop (USB) to my new iPad ? I no longer have a laptop just my iPad mini.

    So the contacts were synced to the computer you no longer have?  You could use a free app like MCBackup and email the contacts from the ipad to yourself and open the email on your  phone and then import the contacts from the email to the phone
