Importing Itunes library to another ipod

Can I import songs from my itunes library to my son's ipod. If so, how?

Just connect the iPod to your computer, if it is set to update automatically then they will load on without you having to do anything. If you want to be more precise about what goes on then set it to either manual update or to sync a selected playlist. In manual mode you can drag and drop what you want from the library to the iPod. Syncing selected playlists is just like syncing your whole library only on a smaller scale and more "selectively". When your iPod is is set to sync selected playlists it automatically picks up any changes you made to the playlist(s) you have set up in iTunes since you last connected. Anything you added to the playlist(s) will be added to the iPod, anything you deleted from it will be deleted from the iPod. In other words the iTunes playlist and the iPod are kept "in sync":
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Managing content manually on iPod

Importing itunes library from another computer

I copied my itunes library to an external hard drive so I could put on a new computer. When I try to open that library, itunes doesn't seem to be seeing the library. Any ideas on what I have done wrong?

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Windows forums.

Hey Hup42,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, the best option may be to operate multiple user accounts on your Wife’s computer. The following article outlines this solution, along with another solution of having multiple iTunes libraries:
How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
Create multiple user accounts
Do you share your computer with someone who has different tastes in music and media? You can create separate user accounts for each person who uses the computer. You can maintain separate, personalized iTunes libraries and customize each devices' sync settings accordingly.
Mac OS X users
Learn how to set up other user accounts.
- OS X Mountain Lion v10.8
- OS X Lion v10.7
- Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard
Windows users
Look in your computer's Help documentation to learn how to set up other user accounts. To find this information:
1. Click the Start Menu and click Help or Help and Support.
2. Enter "new user" in the Search field.
3. Press Return.
If you create multiple user accounts on one computer but want the same media to be available in iTunes for all users, you can share music between different accounts on a single computer.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

Importing Itunes Library - Itunes crash

Hi, I received an "Importing iTunes Library" pop-up when opening iTunes. It does it's stuff for awhile, and then replies with "iTunes library is corrupt." I replaced it with my latest backup (from last night) It is a regular computer backup, not an iTunes backup, and I still get the same response. I replaced the entire iTunes folder in Windows (not the music itself) I have the latest iTunes software
Please help! Thanks

How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another?

How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another? My daughter has an iTouch, and I was managing it through my library. I have created an iTunes account for her, with a new iTouch, and would like to move the apps over. I tried to sync the old iTouch to the new library and it said it was already set up to sync with a different library. What is the best way to do this?

You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
To make the new computer the syncing computer you have to:
- Transfer iTunes purchases lIke I described above
- Make a backup of the iPod on that computer by connecting the iPod and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
- Restore the iPOd from that backup
She will have to continue to use your iTunes ID to update the apps prchased with your account. To use her account she will have to log into the computer with her account (iTunes>Store) and change the sign in on the iPod by going to Settings>Store.

How Do You Transfer an iTunes Library to Another User on your Computer??

I am trying to transfer my iTunes library to another user on my computer so that I won't have to download all over again the dozens of CDs that I have already downloaded onto my computer. It is for someone else in my family who just got their own iPod. I have WindowsXP. Does anyone know how to do this?

Moving iTunes library to another hard drive

I followed the directions on the Apple website
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748
to move my iTunes library to another hard drive. the instructions say to delete the original iTunes folder ...
now the library has been moved (the files are in the folder on the new hard drive) but iTunes has completely lost its catalog of my music (the screen is empty when I select library in iTunes) - what happened and how can I get the catalog back without importing everything?

You missed 'Point 14':
After the folder has been copied, locate your original iTunes Music folder, and drag it to the Trash or Recycle Bin. Note: Don't remove the iTunes 4 Music Library files that may be in the same location as the iTunes Music folder.
If you deleted the 'iTunes Library.itl' file from that folder, then you deleted the iTunes database file that keeps track of all your song references, Playlists and some attributes. See:What are the iTunes Library files?
Can you recover this file from the ExHD? Or maybe the Recycle Bin? Place it back into the 'iTunes' folder under the 'My Music' folder.
If not, you'll have to 'Rebuild' your Library from the ExHD's music files. It's a simple 'File=>Add Folder' from within iTunes, but you will lose your Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts and Last Played attributes.

Importing iTunes library onto a third computer?

Hello,
I've got my iTunes on my original PC and work laptop. I am trying to import my iTunes library onto another PC, but I am unable to import my library, even though everything else is okay (Store, etc).
Please advise.
Thank you.

All you need to do is set your iTunes folder [on your laptop] in
iTunes->Edit->Preferences->Advanced to the folder on the external drive which contains your library on the external drive, making sure to
a) Set iTunes to keep your music and folders arranged
b) Set iTunes to Add files when importing music or other files into iTunes library
Now, if you choose not to carry the portable drive around with you, here's how to add those files to your iTunes installtion on the laptop:
a) Copy the ENTIRE folder containing the media files on the portable drive into your iTunes\My Music folder on the laptop.
b) You will then have to recreate the library. To do this, add the folder to iTunes using "File->Add Folder". This will recreate the Library on your laptop. MAKE SURE you have enough machines activated to play your iTunes purchases. You may only activate 5 machines at any one time, so if iTunes says all 5 are used, make sure to deactivate all five, then go to your Account and reactiavate one machine on each machine you own which has an iTunes library. If you have more than 5, I don't know what to do, except create a new account for subsequent machines.
Just add the new laptop to the sync schedule and all libraries should remained synched.

Can I transfer my itunes library from my ipod to my new imac? If so how is it done?

Can I transfer my itunes library from my ipod to my new imac? If so how is it done?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Of course. The best would be to transfer the iTunes library from your old Mac or PC to the new Mac, so you will keep everything and you won't have to use any third-party app.
Anyway, if you don't have access to the old PC or Mac, you can transfer songs from the iPod to your Mac. If you purchased all the songs on the iTunes Store, just open iTunes, connect the iPod and transfer the songs. If you are using an iPod touch, you will lose everything if you sync it with iTunes on the new iMac.
Another method is to use an app like Senuti to transfer the songs to iTunes, being a safer way to transfer them if you aren't sure that you will lose your songs

I would like to purchase an ipod for my husband. Can I download songs from my itunes library to his ipod without disturbing my itunes?

Yes Deborah,
Actually it's as smiple as plugging in the iPod and registering it, this will be done by a step by step dialog box when you first plug it in. After that it will show up in your device list on the left side. Just drag the song from the music library in iTunes to the iPod device that is his. You can drag single songs, complete albums or even complete genres. If it is a iTouch you get him, you can also click the music tab on the iTouch device in iTunes when you plug it in and you can just check off artist names or just certain albums. Also on a iTouch on the summary screen you can click the sync with iTouch over Wi-Fi check box and you will no longer have to plug it to the computer to sync. Also, since they are two different devices the music on one will not affect the music on another. This goes for any iOS device, iPods, iTouches, iPhones, and iPads.
Hope that helps.
