Import songs from home computer on shuffle to work computer

Hi,
Does anyone know if I can update my shuffle at home and then import the songs into my work computer? If so how do you do it??
Thanks,

Do NOT refer to this article; it doesn't apply to Shuffles. The first steps involve switching the iPod to Manual Mode, which the iPS does not have.
Short answer .... there is no way to do what you want to do in the normal, supported, iPod Shuffle iTunes way of doing things. Attempting to register the iPS to a different iTunes library will in fact erase the Shuffle if you proceed.
Longer answer .... there are various 3P apps and utilities which do allow you do do this. Use the Search window to locate threads discussing these, or just Google to find them.

Can't import songs from Home Share library

Hello,
According to "Tunes Mac 9.0 Help - Sharing your iTunes library across computers," I should be able...
"- To import items from another computer, select the computer (below Shared), and drag items from its library to yours.
- To automatically import iTunes Store items that are downloaded to a computer you’re Home Sharing with, select “Automatically import new purchases from [Computer Name].”
However, despite the fact that I performed all the right steps, and both computers see each other shared libraries, I can not drag items from one library to another, nor can I find where to select "Automatically import new purchases..."
The second computer is a Windows 7, hopefully this is not the problem.
Help! Massive searches did not bring more info.
Thanks,

I just noticed this problem for the first time today. I've never had trouble dragging and dropping items from my home shared libraries. Today - no way. For context, when I first accessed the shared library (on my PC) today from my Mac, there was the usual, togglable (entire library or just those not already on the importing computer) "import library" button at the bottom of the pane. But after I toggled to "not on my computer" (or whatever the option is called) and dragged a few new ones to the my Mac, I got a message saying "no can do, home sharing needs to be activated." This apparently was a casualty of a hard drive restoration yesterday, so I reactivated home sharing, and that's when the current problem reared its ugly head, both on my Mac and on my PC.

How do I import songs from different computers with home sharing?

I am trying to share music from my Macbook Pro to my father's Mac Desktop. I was able to get the 'home sharing' to work; I can see and play my father's music and he is able to play mine too. I was trying to import the songs but I am not able to copy & paste and I do not see an 'import' button at the bottom right of our windows when selecting songs. Am I missing a step or is there something else I do not know?

After researching through the forums, I figured it out. You have to make sure you are logged in under the same account on both computers. At first I was logged under my account on my computer and logged in under my father's account on my father's computer. You have to choose one account to log in under on both computers and then you will be abler to import songs from both computers. If you do not log in under the same account, you will be able to listen to both computers' music, but not import.

Computer crashed, how do i import songs from ipod to new computer?

I need to import songs from my ipod to my new computer. I know there are third party softwares to do this, but which software is free, and is COMPLETLY VIRUS FREE. please give me a specific name and where to download it. Thx

I can't recommend any of the free ones. They either wouldn't install, or had severe limits not present in the purchased version. My advice is to shell out the $20 bucks.

New Computer, is there any way to import songs from an ipod to a computer?

My computer doesn't have the songs from my old computer so I was wondering if there was a way to import songs from an iPod to a computer, because if I update my iPod now, all of my songs will be lost.

For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.

Can I import songs from two different Macs using home sharing?

I have two MacBooks and a IMAC G5.
I set up home sharing but can't seem to import songs from PC one to another.
I was able to do it but now 2 of my PCs are using Yosemite.
I want to move my music from, Macbook, to iPAD, to iPhone to iPOD.
Any help with this will be appreciated
Thanks
Chuck

You can't use home sharing to put music on your mobile devices from your iTunes library, you will need to sync them.

Computer crash importing songs from CD/Library to iTunes

I use Windows XP. For a while I have had a problem with my computer crashing completely every time I try to import songs from either a CD or the Library although it will let me import 1-3 songs at a time before it crashes so previously that is what I did. I was advised to wipe my hard drive and then reinstall iTunes which should resolve the issue. NO IT HASN'T.
I had to wipe my hard drive yesterday and reinstall everything because of other issues. Downloaded the new iTunes and guess what - YES - THE COMPUTER CRASHED while importing songs from a now very small library because I want to get this problem resolved BEFORE I connect my iPod to transfer songs back to the iTunes Library
Any help will be much appreciated
Packard Bell Windows XP

There are lots of things to try before wiping your hard drive again, because since you just did that yesterday, it wan't really effective, was it? So I think it won't be any better today.
I believe somethin's gone wrong with your CD drive, personally.
Desktop > right-click on My Computer > Manage >Device Manager
Over on the right, expand your CD/DVD ROM drives. Highlight each one right-click and choose uninstall
Do NOT restart your PC yet.
In the same Device MAnager list, find the IDE/ATA ATAPI controllers
right-click and uninstall both the primary and seconday IDE channels.
Now you will have to restart your PC. It will take a bit ,onger than usual to come up because it has to go find that hardware stuff and reinstall it.
Then restart your PC one more time when the message comes up.
Now can you rip CDs in iTunes?

Importing songs from cd to iphone

After importing songs from cd's I can not get them to show on my iphone5 playlist, they only show up on the playlist on my computer at home. I have tried syncing. I do not have this issue if I purchase a song from itues...it goes directly to my phone's playslist.

Hi sadielexus1,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your imported music never syncs to your iPhone, you may want to try un-checking and then re-checking the "Sync music" checkbox in iTunes by following the steps in the article below:

Can't import songs from music library to itunes!

I have no problems importing songs from audio cds into itunes, but it won't recognize any of the files that i have in other folders of my computers (in mp3 format). and when i select 'import' and these songs, it just doesn't do anything. any suggestions to help??? thanks!
dell inspiron 4100 Windows XP

Most of them are files burned from an audio CD onto another computer, and then saved onto a USB device and then transferred onto my computer (I no longer have the original CDs, hence the roundabout procedure). some of the files however, are simply from 'my music' folder that i had previously burned onto my computer before installing itunes. i've checked the status of all the files--and none are protected. any suggestions? thanks!
Reknath, where did these files come from? If there
were downloads from other websites, they are probably
protected & that's why you can't get them into iTunes.

Importing songs from a protected CD

Is there any way to import songs from copyright protected physical CDs into my itunes library? The songs will upload to Windows Media Player, but will not convert to AAC in itunes. Sometimes, when I insert a copyright protected CD into my drive, nothing happens at all.
I have heard of a way to do it that involves ripping the songs to WMP, burning them onto a new CD, and then uploading them to itunes, but I have not tried it yet, and this seems like a lot of extra work. Is there an easier way to do it?
Thanks so much for the advice.

You can take an output directly from your hi-fi's tape out socket to your computer. You can then save and edit this output using audio editing software like the open source program Audacity: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
In addition to the software you'll need an RCA to 3.5 mm audio plug cable to connect the Tape Out sockets of your amplifier to the audio input of your computer.
You can use this method on LP, Cassette and also on Copy Protected CDs that won't play on your computer.

Need to Import songs from Ipod to Itunes

Hey, so yeah my comp fried itself the other day [hard disk corrupt files issues] and i managed to get it fixed, with a new copy of windows installed. problem is i didnt wipe the hard disk [because many files are ones id rather not lose] and so the other account which was on 'dont share my files' [windows is ******** that way] is completely unaccessable. This means i lose access to documents, settings, and everything on the desktop / user-related files. They're still on my computer, but completely unaccessable , and windows pretends they arent there, because im a 'different user' now. Itunes was part of that. along with my songs folder. So i reinstall itunes, and the ipod registers, though saying it is registered to another itunes library, and i can change it to this one [if i want to wipe all my songs for the nothing that the current library has in it].
So clearly what i need to do is import songs from the ipod to the itunes library that i have now. This option doesnt seem to exist, ive been looking for it for some time. Any ideas?

Welcome to discussions! See the instructions from MacMuse on the following link. Once you have recovered your music, I would strongly suggest you institute some type of regualr backup program for your music library.

Import song FROM Zen TO Compu

Hi!
I'd like to know if it's possible to import songs from the Creative Zen to any computer?Or are there any restrictions, such as the one that exists with the Sony Minidisc?
Is there a maximum times a song can be import and export?
Tell me everythings :-)
Thanks
yannick
ps: sorry for my bad english, I'm frenchspeaker :-)

All right,sorry, I'm asking a lot of questions, that might be details, but since the zen micro is not that cheap, I wanna be sure ;-)
So, with the Creative ZEN Micro, I can import from the device TO the PC any song pr?viously transfered from any computer? I'm not talking about the UMS function, only with the regular use of this mp3 device (not as a harddri've!)...
It is possible through the usual sotware given with ZEN MICRO?
Thanks a lot!!
