HT1203 Two iTunes libraries, only one account!

My iTunes library on my PC is somehow different from my MAC library. How can this happen with only one iTunes account? How can I merge them?

1. The contents of the library are stored on the computers and are separate from what's recorded as associated with your Apple ID on Apple's servers.
2. Move the song files from one computer to the other.

    can you access and store two itunes libraries on one computer?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes but you may run into issues if you want them both to run iTunes Match or automatic downloads.

  • HT202213 Two Itunes libraries on one computer.  Any way to share content between the two libraries?

    We have 2 ITunes libraries on one computer.  Is there a way to share movies, music, etc. between the two libraries?

    To your second question, probably the easiest way is to set up another user account on your machine. Then when that user opens iTunes, it will be a new library (empty) that they can put anything they want into, and not corrupt your library.
    With another user account, they can also customize their own desktop photo, desktop icons, etc. so lots of benefits doing it that way. Works out great for me and my 13 year old daughter so I don't have to see the latest Emo band hearthrob's face on my desktop.

  • Can I put two Itunes libraries on one ipod

    Wondering if I can put my husband's itunes library onto my ipod, so that we won't need two ipods.

    to do this you need one itunes library. I understand you have two iPods are they both syncing with hte same itunes library. If so just sync the all content onto one iPod if you have enough space. Some peope have a lot of music and video.
    If you have two itunes libraries that you sync each ipod with then you need to merge them these are your options if itunes are on separate computers

    If they are on the same computer but different logons then copy the music foler from one account to the other.
    Once everything is in the same iTunes you may also need to Authorise the computer with the other persons Apple ID
    Then you should be good to go

  • HT1451 If I have two iTunes libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on the desktop?

    If I have two or more iTunes Libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on my desktop?

    You cannot.
    When you sync to a new library, it will erase the current content.
    Use your backup copy of the old computer to copy everything to the new one.

  • Combine two itunes libraries thatare one on computer

    I have two iTunes libraries that are on my computer (I use the shift button when opening to choose which one I want to open).  So since I have two (one for iPhone and one for iPod) the music in them is mismatched because I use my iPhone more often and downloaded songs get placed into that library.  My question is do I have to manually go through and find out which songs aren't in both libraries and import them or can I do this automatically? I don't want to merge them, I just want them to have the same music in them so I can just uncheck which ones I don't want to sync.  Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    Drag the larger library to the external drive normally, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, choose it, drag the media files from the second library into the open iTunes application window, and then import the playlists.

  • Having issues setting up the use of two iTunes libraries on one Apple TV.  I can set up my iTunes library as I can turn home sharing on from my own computer, however, my fiance only has an iPad with home sharing turned on and it does not find his account?

    I have a new Apple TV which I am struggling to set up with both mine and my fiances music.  I have a laptop, but my fiance only has an ipad and it only seems to sync my music library from my iTunes account.  He has homesharing turned on on his iPad but the Apple TV does not recognise his iPad.  It seems from the help that I have read online that homesharing works when you use the same itunes account, is not possible to be able to use two different itunes libraries with two different accounts (and only one computer)?
    Thanks

    Both libraries would need to have been setup to use home sharing with the same Apple ID in order for that to work.

  • One computer, two itunes libraries, ?one authorization

    I plan to buy a new iMac and will set up two user accounts on the one device. If each account has their own iTunes library, will that require one or two authorizations. I am concerned because I did not have a chance to deauthorize my other machines. Thank you for the information.

    An authorization is for an iTunes store account.
    If you have 2 (or more) user accounts on your computer and they all have individual libraries and all are authorized to use the one iTunes account, you will only have used one iTunes authorization.
    One machine uses one authorization, regardless of number of user accounts.

  • How can I consolidate two iTunes libraries onto one disc?

    OK... here's the deal...
    I am permanently in a nursing home and was only available to bring my MacBook Pro to my new "home"... however, I had a back-up of my Intel iMac's iTunes library on a small 250GB portable drive so what I would like to do is:
    1) re-direct my iTunes folder to my 'old' large 'main' iTunes library, and;
    2) somehow consolidate the 'new' library on my MBP to that library (about 12 gigs) without having to open each track to add it to the 'newest' library.
    I don't think that this is what "Consolidate Library,,," does, is it? I'm afraid to try as that "This cannot be undone." is rather daunting.
    Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated. Fortunately, this won't affect my iPod as there's no way (yet) to put 120GB on a 60GB iPod!

    Hey,
    I've been doing a similar thing recently. Have you tried importing either through home sharing on itunes or just transferring what you need by accessing the other MacBook if you mount it in your shared places? Takes a while wirelessly but should get it done..... I think!

  • Two itunes libraries and one apple TV

    Greetings, what I would like to do is to have my main iTunes library selected (certain movies, music, apps for ipad/iphone) which is located on my iMac. I would also like to have a second iTunes library where I keep a hundred gigs or so of video on an external hard drive that can be accessed by Apple TV. Any thoughts on the easiest way to accomplish this. I don't want to store my main iTunes library on an external but I don't want a hundred gigs of video that I may or may not watch sitting on my main hard drive. Thanks in advance.

    If you keep additional content on an external HDD, you can add it to your iTunes library using alt-drag without copying it to your laptop. Obviously when the drive is not connected you will not be able to play that content and will receive an error if you do, but you will be able to play it when the external drive is connected.

  • Two iTunes libraries one MacBook Pro account...

    How do you make two itunes libraries on one macbook account? I've heard it's possible for PC so it should be for a Mac... If this topic has already been discussed sorry for the inconvenience...

    Make sure iTunes is closed, then hold down the option key while clicking iTunes in the dock. Creating a new library should be an option in the window that pops up. To select a different library, just do exactly the same except you'll select the library you want to open instead of creating a new one.
