No obstacles. After he rips the CDs into audio files, copy the audio files from his PC to a flash drive or an external hard drive. From there, add them to your iTunes library on your Mac.
As long as he uses one of the "taggable" audio formats -- MP3, AAC, AIFF, or Apple Lossless -- they will come up correctly on your Mac. Just make sure he avoids WAV format.

If you have a computer with iTunes and you want to sync do you need your iTunes library opened on the computer?

For ios 5 I noticed that if I wanted to iTunes sync I had to have the the library opened and running on my computer plus it takes a long time to find my iPod. Do I need to have the iTunes library up in running on my computer to wifi sync or is there something wrong wIth my iPod or computer. I run on a pc

I, too, hoped that you could buy a film for less having rented it from iTunes. Like a "try-before-you-buy".
Do it Apple - I'd buy more movies!

I have an iphone4 and my husband merge his numbers with mine and i think it was deleted can you tell me how can he get his number back on his phone

Do you possibly mean the contacts have been merged?
If so, where are each of you syncing contacts? A supported application on the computer? iCloud or another cloud service? An Exchange server?
WIthout details, it's difficult to offer specific resolutions.

I recently downloaded the latest version of iTunes and now I cannot access my original music library

On or around 6/23 I plugged in my iPod for it's weekly sync with iTunes. The usual prompt to download an updated version came up and went throught the usual motions of updating and installing.
Once all was updated/installed I noticed that when I opened iTunes, my library did not open. When I plugged in my iPod my music came up but I could not edit anything. Then, I proceeded to download a couple new songs that did not sync to my device. I thought it was becuase the new software was a little different and I wasn't use to it then realized iTunes wasn't recognizing my device like it used to.
I have had the same iPod and computer since at least 2008. I only have the one iPod synced with iTunes and I'm not super tech savvy, but the only change I made was updating/installing iTunes software, as prompted.
Any help or suggestions woulb be greatly appreciated!

Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod.

I assume the podcasts you have are the mp3 or other audio files rather than a podcast feed in iTues or another rss reader? You can simply drag the audio files into iTunes, though they will appear in the 'Music' list since iTunes has know way of knowing that they come from a podcast.
You can change the 'Media Kind' in the get Info pane (menu File>Get Info>Options pane) to 'Podcast' but each file will appear as a podcast with no title, containing the single episode.

HT203167 I set up a pc with iTunes and have my library but cannot get to new purchases, I get a pop up that says "computer not authorized" How do I authourize?

I set up an PC with iTunes and have my library but cannot get it to transfer new purchases, I get a pop up that states "computer not authorized" how do I authorize computer? account originated on a Mac

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

My iTunes gave me the option to erase and sync with the library or just sync with iTunes purchases. Since I hadsongs from many different sources, but which were all in the library, I tried the erase and resync option. It wiped out all my songs and put in

My iTunes gave me the option to erase and sync with the library or just sync with Itunes purchases. Since I have songs from more than one source and all my music was in the library, I chose the erase and sync option. All my music was wiped off my iPod and a few recent iTunes purchases were synced onto the iPod. All my music is still in the library, but it won't sync to my iPod. Making me crazy.

Library gone, ipod freezes with sync, and won't save positions in videos

Wow. Three major issues with iTunes/my iPod in three days. Have I set some kind of a record here?
Well, first off... I went to charge my iPod with the usb cable as I always do. iTunes is configured to pop up and sync with the ipod each time it sees that the device is connected. All seemed well, until I saw a message telling me the library on my computer did not match the one on my iPod. Basically asked me if I wanted to wipe out the music/video collection on the iPod and replace it with, well, NOTHING which is what appears to be in my iTunes library right now. That's right, my library is all gone. No big deal, right? Just point iTunes back to my media folders! Not cool. I've pruned SO MANY horrible songs within itunes without deleting the actual song files. my iPod will be getting at least 250+ songs I do NOT want to bring to work, or on my commute. I don't have my library backed up. Why would I? This should not happen. I did nothing to cause it, there's no "iTunes virus" which wipes our your library, is there?
Next problem... This morning when I gave my iPod a quick charge before work... Hold switch on "hold," iTunes hadn't popped up during the 30 mins I left it in.. Guess what? The iPod is frozen. Reset it. This'll be the third or fourth time this has happened to me.
Lastly, I've noticed that the iPod simply WILL NOT save the position I was at before shutting down the iPod after a viewing "session." No, that's not true. It will revert to some random spot in the video I was watching, perhaps the first "bookmark" I'd made, the first time I'd quit in the middle of a video. Every time after that it won't continue where I'd left off, but rather at that first spot in the video. This isn't a problem for ALL of my videos, just some.
And a fourth bonus problem:: When am I going to be able to categorize my non-purchased videos properly? I complained about this like 2 months ago and iTunes still hasn't been "fixed." I'm limited to keeping non-purchased videos under "music videos" which is just stupid.
Homemade Windows XP Pro

First off, you have to search the system for your purchased songs. There usually in the My Music/iTunes/iTUnes Music/(Artist name)/(Album Name)
If you can not find them there then search the system by going to start button>Search and type in the search m4p for audio and m4v for video. more on this here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301749
Its true apple doesn't offer redownloads BUT alot of people including me, have had success in emailing the music store, telling them what has happened, and getting an offer to "Redownload" all the songs paid for
Far as the malware goes, you have some type of malware on the system, if you didn't ewido wouldn't of sent off an alarm with a sound and you wouldn't have been removeing things with it. malware comes in many forms, sometimes installed by that "Free" program you get off the net, sometimes installed in the background when you goto a certain site. In some cases simply rolling the mouse pointer over an ad on a web page (Which is easy to do when its beside the scroll bar to the right) will have it install. I have 3 different adware scanners and still get one or 2 that gets thru now and then

Ripping Cd's for use with iTunes AND DJ Software

Hello, I have a lot of CD's I want to rip into my MAC. I want to store them on my external hard drive attached to my Time Capsule. I use iTunes, but here is the problem. I also use my MB Pro to DJ, and disconnect my external hard drive from the Time Capsule and take it with me (it has my music on it). How can I use both iTunes and my DJ software? Does iTunes rip the songs into a file that I can also use without iTunes playing it (in other words, a plain old mp3 or mp4?) Anyone have a best practices to pass along? Thanks!

Welcome to the forums DJEJay
in other words, a plain old mp3 or mp4?
Yes, in your Preferences > Importing, choose whichever format you want the music to be in - e.g. MP3 if you prefer - plus the bitrate you want it at. (This also works for converting tracks you already have in your iTunes Library - from the ADvanced menu).
Does iTunes rip the songs into a file that I can also use without iTunes playing it
Yes - all the tracks will be in the iTunes > Tunes Music folder on the drive (making sure you point iTunes to this drive the first time you run it), organised in separate folders by artist albums or Compilations. These all play in Finder Preview, and I assume can be read by your DJ software / hardware.
One word of warning - don't interfere with the folder structure or move files around or rename them or anything, as iTunes might get very confused next time you launch it.

HT5649 Our family has a shared computer with itune software. We have multiple apple devices and multiple itunes accounts. Can we share the computer and iTunes software to back up each apple device separately?

How do multiple users with multiple devices share one computer with iTunes software to back up multiple devices and individual iTune libraries?

Hi Goodguy147,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The easiest way to have multiple users with multiple devices share a single computer is to create a User Account on your Windows PC for each person. Each person should also have a unique Apple ID. That will keep each individual's iTunes Library separate from the others and each individual can associate and backup several devices to their iTunes library.
Using your Apple ID for Apple services

iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues

Follow the steps below to create a new user account in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
Choose Start > Control Panel.
Open "Add or remove user accounts." (If you're using the Classic view in Windows Vista, open "User Accounts," and then open "Manage another account.")
Select "Create a new account" and follow the instructions to set up the account.
Once you create the new account, choose Start > Log Off.
Log in to the new user account.

Can I Use My Music Library With itunes and ipod if it's Only Saved to an External Hard Drive?

I have very little space left on my internal hard drives. I have the same music library saved on an external drive. To get some space back, can I delete my music library from the internal drive C and just use the library on the external drive? Will it work in my itunes library and ipod? I want to download more music but I'm afraid to right now, because there is hardly any space left!

Rick,
For everything you should know about Time Machine, see http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html.
If your photos were on your internal drive then, yes, they are likely to have been backed up by Time Machine.
However, if Time Machine starts running out of space, it will delete old back ups and thus your photos aren't really 'safe' just on a Time Machine back up. What you really need to do is either:
Buy another external hard drive for storing your photos and other files, or;
Back up your photos to DVD's: there are a number of cataloging apps that you can use to catalog your files or, if you have named them something specific, use something like DiskTracker.
Either way, don't rely on your Time Machine back-up to store your photos.
Good luck - call back if you need more information,
Clinton

HELP-Cant sync ipod tocuh with itunes and has deleted all my itunes library

Hello,
My ipod touch wont sync with my itunes and it is supposed to do so every time i connect it, also it has deleted my entire itunes library, how can i sync it and how can i restore my library???
THNX U ALL,
Yamileth

It can not do that all by itself.
When you plugged it in, iTunes said 'Oh goody! You got a new phone! Would you like to make it just like your old phone?'...
You explicitly said 'Yes'.
You can't undo that.
No backup of the current state of the new phone was made. It was wiped and the last backup of your old phone was restored to it.
Anything you had on the new phone is gone.
