I have an Itune account but I use to different laptops how to I sync so all is on both

THIS IS THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING, I USE TWO LAP TOPS AND WHEN I SIGN INTO MY ITUNES IT ONLY SHOWS ME WHAT I HAVE DONE ON THAT LAPTOP AND SINCE I ALSO HAVE TWO I POD TOUCHES, I SOMETIMES WANT THE SAME MUSIC ON BOTH AND I CAN NOT USE MY IPOD ON MY OTHER LAPTOP SINCE IT SAYS IT WILL WIPE THE MUSIC I ALREADY HAVE FROM MY OTHER LAPTOP BUT IT IS MY ACCOUNT ON BOTH HOW DO I FIX THIS PROBLEM OR SYNC MY ACCOUNT ON BOTH LAPTOPS

home sharing can be configured to transfer purchases made on computer A automatically to computer B. however, home sharing is unable to transfer ratings, playcounts, and original "date added".
alternatively, you could use a 3rd party app such as TuneRanger.

  • I have one itunes account but I use it on a windows and on a mac.  If I buy a song on one, does it go to the other?

    Years ago, I bought an iPod Nano and I sync it with iTunes on my windows computer.  I have many songs on my windows iTunes account.  For work I received a MacBook Pro and an iPhone.  I sync my phone to the mac still using that same iTunes account.  There are some songs that I might want to put on both my nano and my phone.  Will I have to buy that song two times?  One for each computer?

    Thank you for your help.  My follow up question would be then, is there a way to keep them separate but linked?  In other words, I don't mind continuing to sync my nano to my windows computer and syncing my phone to my mac, but I don't want to pay for the same song twice.  How do I get a song that I purchase on one platform to be on the other platform?
    Thanks again for your help.

  • We have 6 ipods and 1 iphone in our house. We have different itunes accounts. We use one computer. How can we share each others music? I moved everybodies itunes media folder to the public folder but when I open itunes I only see that accounts music.

    We have 6 ipods and 1 iphone in our house. We have different itunes accounts. We use one computer. How can we share each others music? I moved everybodies itunes media folder to the public music folder but when I open itunes I only see that accounts music. We need different itunes accounts. We share 1 computer but we have different user accounts on the computer.

    Adding media directly to the media folder does not make it appear in the library.  iTunes doesn't really 'look' at that folder except to go to specific files when you call upon them from a library. You have to drag new content to each user's library, that is assuming each user has their own library.

    Please help

    Honestly, these are WAGs but they're all that I can think of.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

    I current have an iTunes account but need to change computers. Do I need to establish a new account on that computer?

    no.
    authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account and you're good to go.
    make sure you de-authorize iTunes on the old machine before retiring it.

  • I have a itunes account but i would like to transfer my app purchases onto my google play?

    I have a itunes account but i would like to transfer all my app purchases onto my google play or play store account how do i do that?..i already transfer my music too but i dont know how to transfer my app purchases at all please help!

    That's a question for Google. If Google wants to give you credit for purchases that you have made from Apple, then that is between you and Google. As far as Apple would be concerned, you don't have anything to transfer.

  • If I have an iTunes account but sinc my phone on someones computer if I make my own on my computer will I loose every thing I bought

    If I have an iTunes account but sinc my phone on someones computer if I make my own on my computer will I loose every thing I bought

    Yes. iTunes and iOS is setup to sync from one computer at a time. You would receive your friends content, but can get your apps back since they're associated with your Apple ID.
    I would look into a program that will transfer your iPhone content on the new computer, or transfer content from your computer's hard drive, if still salvageable.

  • I have one itunes account, but several itouch apparatus that belong to kids, how do I keep their cloud stuff separate, or does it all go into one cloud?

    I have one itunes account, but have several itouches that belong to the kids.  How do I keep the cloud's separate, or does it all go into one, because of the one acccount?

    All devices under the same Apple ID will have one iCloud. If they are over 13, they can create their own Apple IDs, or you can just turn everything off under Settings > iCloud on the iPods.

  • I have 2 itunes accounts and i need to cancel one, how do i do this?

    As Niel stated, you cannot merge them.
    You can keep the purchased items in your iTunes library and use them with no issues.
    Just pick one of the AppleIDs and stick with that one.

  • Forgot iPhone 4s password! I have tried everything. I'm using a different laptop because my old one got stolen.

    I recently changed my password and forgot it. I have tried everything. Pressing the home and power while conected and unconnected to iTunes. I am using a different laptop due to theft of my last one, would this make a difference . What can I do to unlock it! This is driving me crazy, I have been trying for a week now.
    Pllease! Someone help! My IPhone is to the point where it's saying conect to iTunes because I have disabled it. Help!!

    Check this apple doc out -> iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    If you can't remember the passcode and don't have access to the other computer, you'll have to restore it and setu it up as a new phone.
