  • Is it possible to Sync an iPod (or iPhone) with a Shared Library?

    I know this is a silly, basic question, but 6:30 AM is just too early for me to keep digging for the answer.
    So, I have several computers at home. ONE of them is used to purchase and store all of my iTunes music. This same computer is used to sync several iPods. The entire library on this computer is shared. Two other computers in the house are Authorized on the same account and regularly play music stored on the "first" computer.
    So here's the rub.
    My duaghter just got a new iPhone. She has her own MAC. I'd like her to begin using her own computer to sync her iPod and iPhone.
    Is it possible to sync her iPod and iPhone using HER computer (that is authorized on my account) and MY shared library?

    I don't think it is possible to sync an ipod to a shared library for copyright reasons. Sharing is great and simple for accessing and listening to other computer's music over a network, but to sync your ipod - I believe can only be done from that particular itune's music library. But here's how I work around this so that I don't have to have my 90 GB Music Folder copied on multiple computers:
    Copy these files from your main computer (the one that has and controls your master itunes library) into the same location on any other computer on your network (say your daughter's computer): user/music/itunes/iTunes Music Library.xml & iTunes Library. Before copying them over to daughter's computer, remove the old files (maybe keep somewhere else just in case) and have itunes shut down. Then start up itunes on your daughter's computer and it should look identical to the main computer's itunes (and the same as the shared library). What you've esentially done is created a separate itunes library data base that can be managed on your daughter's computer but one that accesses the same actual music files that are on the main computer's Music Folder. To check go to Preferences/Advanced and you'll see that the Music Folder location is pointing to the same file as on the main computer (whose Music Folder is now being used as a sort of network music despository). You'll notice that when your daughter's computer starts itunes and plays a song, the main computer's hard drive where the Music Folder is stored will mount on her computer. So the main computer obviously has to be turned on, or more accurately, the location of the Music Folder (could be on an external hard drive) must be accessible over the network. Your duaghter can now create her own spearate playlists and sync her ipod to her own library which is accessing the same song files (Music Folder) as the main computer. And both of you can be playing from itunes at the same time independantly.
    Here's the tricky part that takes some coordintation: Since you'll both be accessing and adding to the same huge Music Folder, you'll need to coordinate with eachother if you want to be able to have each computer's itunes database "see" any music that the other person has added or purchased. For purchasing or adding music to the music folder, both of you should have in Preferences/Advanced the "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library" selection checked when purchasing music or adding music via burning. If your daughter, for example, buys an album and has this preference selected, then it will go to the Music Folder and she will have access to it. But the other computer doesn't know that this was added to the music folder and it won't show up in that computer's itunes. For itunes to knwo a song is in it's Music Library it has to add it to it. SO, from this other computer, go to File/Add to Library and navigate to the location within the Music Folder and then select the newly purchased album and it will now show up in this itunes as well - BUT before you do this you should UNcheck the "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library" preference so that the album is not duplicated in the Music Folder. Then if this computer wants to purchase an album, you need to have this checked again. Basically if your doing the original adding you have to have the "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library" checked. If your simply letting your itunes know that something was added then have the "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to Library" unchecked before you add it to your library. And if someone creates a playlist that the other wants, you can still share eachother's libraries (even though your accessing the same Music Folder) or even export the playlist and import it into the other computer.
    Sounds tricky but it's actually pretty easy and allows each person to sort of control his/her itunes and sync their own ipods/iphones all from the same Music Folder.

  • Is it possible to sync an Ipod touch 2nd generation to itunes to download music?

    I have been trying to sync my Ipod touch 2nd generation to itunes and it says its completed, but then the music doesn't transfer to the device and I know I can't upgrade to IOS 5  so is it impossible to download music to it?  I just bought it today used to $54  so I am growing incredibly frustrated.

    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Hello Queen131,
    The iPod Touch can be set to 'manual mode,' which will allow for specific control over which songs are synced to the device, and allows for specific tracks to be removed.

    The latest version of iTunes may hide the sidebar.  To show the sidebar, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
    With the sidebar visible, does the shuffle appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?  If it does, you can refer to this document for general information about loading content to the shuffle.

  • HT1386 I have a new computer and when I tried to sync my iPod Touch with the new iTunes, it has lost all of my music and videos from my iPod/old iTunes library: including all but 4 songs of my bought songs, videos and audeobooks!

    I have recently updated my computer since my old one broke and therefore had to download a new iTunes. When I came to add my iPod to this new iTunes, I was given no option to transfer the contents of my iPod library to this new iTunes and was forced to try 'sync'; when my old computer was repaired once we lost all of our data so I had to download a new iTunes then,all of my iPod downloads were transferred and I could easily reburn my CDs so I didn't think the wiping of my iPod would be a problem. When I clicked 'sync' it warned me that it would replace the contents of my iPod with the new iTunes library, as I said I didn't think this would be a problembut then it asked if it should transfer my recent iTunes downloads so I said 'yes'. The sync was completed but now I only have 4 downloaded songs and 5 albums which I burned to my new iTunes! I have lost all the music I bought, all the videos I bought and all the audiobooks I bought! (Luckily I still have my apps.) I tried to restore backup but realised that only covers calendars, contacts E.T.C and I checked my iTunes account and that shows all my downloads but I can't see a way to restore them or anything like that!
    Please help! I am in despair as you can imagine how much moneys worth I have lost and am losing faith in Apple

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • Is it possible to sync an iPod Touch with a mac and a pc?

    Is it possible to sync an iPod Touch with a mac and a pc?

    You can only sync an iPod touch to one computer for music, videos, movies and apps. You could, however, sync to the Mac for media content and the Windows system for contacts.

  • Syncing from Ipod back to Itures

    is they are a way to sync my ipod information, back to my itures, as I would like to see what music I am lissing, so I can delete the ones I do like, and add more over time
    I know you can sync from Itures to Ipod back I would like to do it the other way.
    I only want to do the Information, and not the music.

    I inserted the ipod and set automatic syncing, expecting the full contents of the ipod to copy into the iTunes library
    iTunes is a one way street, from iTunes to iPod only. The only music you can copy back from an iPod to a computer via iTunes is music purchased from the iTunes store.
    There are however many 3rd party utilities that copy from the iPod to computer, one such being iPodDisk.
    Similar programs are Expod, Yamipod, Senuti and Music Rescue.
    Does this mean I cannot sync between two computers.
    You cannot use the iPod and auto sync to more than one computer at a time. If you need to use the iPod on multiple computers you must use manual transfer and this article explains how.
