I have a computer at home and at work. I want the itunes I have at home to be the same as I have at work so I only have to load songs at home put them on my phone and they will be on my itunes at work. How do I do that?
I have my computer at home that has itunes on it. It is the one that I sync to my iphone. I have a computer at work that I would like to have the same itunes on it. How do I go about doing that?
iOS devices are designed to sync with a single computer and iTunes library. If you attempt to change iTunes libraries, iTunes will delete all iTunes media from your device prior to syncing with the new library.
If your goal is to get your iTunes music library on your work computer, you can copy your music to an external drive, then import it to your iTunes library at work. Another option would be to subscribe to iTunes Match, which would then allow you to sign into your iTunes Match library on your work computer and access your entire music library (up to 25,000 songs, not including songs purchased from the iTunes store) from iCloud.

How can you transfer the current iTunes account from a "dying" computer to a new one. Mine is slowly dying and I need to get another computer, but do not want to loose the content of our iTunes account. Thanks
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.

I bought songs on my laptop which synced to my iphone and iPad. But I can't find them on itunes library on my home computer. However, when I click download for the same song it says it has already been purchased. How do I find it on home computer?
Is your "home computer" the same as your laptop or are these two different machines?

i have downloaded new ringtones for my iphone but my itunes dashboard does not show ringtones on it , so i can't put them on my phone.Am i doing something wrong.The ringtones were bought from i tunes.
Tones is the new name for Ringtones. If the entry is missing in the left-hand column of iTunes then enable it from Edit > Preferences > General tab.
If your existing tones are not syncing properly to your iOS device then uncheck the option to Sync Tones from the Tones tab when the device is connected, sync the device, check the option and sync again.

I have the iPhone 5s. I synced it with my Mac and got all the old apps from my old phone. I was not able to update any of the apps on the old phone and they will not update on the new iPhone 5s either! What can I do?
Hey there rmflint,
It sounds like you are wanting to update the Apps that were synced over from your computer to your new iPhone 5s. If you are clicking Updates in the App Store in the bottom right corner, would you mind clarifying what happens when you are trying to update them?

my pc crashed and erased my itunes songs purchased from the itunes store. How do i get that content back without having to purchase them again?
I have somewhat of a similar problem. After iTunes last update, I am missing some of my purchased files of music,ringtones, and TV shows. Possibly movies, but just thought of that and did not look yet. Seems everytime there is an iTunes update, something happens, but usually an easy fix by just deleting music files from CD's that I loaded onto iTunes and no longer recognized after an update and reload from the hard drive. This time I do not have a current back up of all the music, ringtones, and tv shows I have purchased.
So I am also wondering how can I redownload purchases without being charged when there is no file left on the hard drive. It just stays listed in iTunes though. -
My wife and I have both synced our iphones to the same desktop computer. She recently synced her ipad to the same computer. Now we cannot send messages to each other anymore. any ideas?
By signing up for an apple ID it means she will be able to download her own apps and music and in future redownload if required for free. Ideally it should be the primary email address she uses as you can't transfer purchases etc to another ID.
Photos shouldn't disappear but back them up before hand. These days everyone gets an iCloud.com address so she could use this as her ID. You would need to go to www.apple.com/iCloud from a computer to sign up for this. Bearing in mind you need a mac with lion or mountain lion or a pc with windows vista onward to take advantage of all services like calendar sync and find my iPhone etc.
Otherwise sign up for an apple id with any other email address. You can do this at https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
AND Click on create an apple ID.
the applications linked to your existing apple ID will have to be redownloaded on the other ID but you won't lose them on yours. -

I have rented two movies on my laptop and they will not completely download..it shows that they are theere but when i try to watch them on my laptop or my ipad it wont open up???? help
Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals. -

All my PC's and computer(both Apple and Microsoft) will conect to internet except appleTV I have exhausted all resets, It did work yesterday now no connection Has anyone had same problem ?
Resets are not a solution. Have you done any actual trouble shooting? What is the actual symptom you are experiencing? If you are using WiFi have you tried directly connecting it using a wired connection.
