Importing music from different computer

I want to import music from a friend's computer (both her and my computer are macs). How do i a) do this without erasing all my music already on my ipod b) just select a few of her songs.
Thanks,
corinne

Set the iPod to manage music manually, and then drag the songs from the second computer to the iPod; you can drag individual songs. You will then need to keep the iPod in manual mode to keep all the music from both machines on it.

    if the copy files ... when adding option is checkmarked in iTunes > preferences > advanced, files you transfer via homesharing are copied permanently to the other library.

  • I can't import music from my computer into Itunes

    I've been trying to import music from my computer into Itunes, And it isnt working
    I have the latest version of Itunes
    When I try adding the files by clicking add file in Itunes or by dragging, it does nothing
    I know it means that the file is incompatible with Itunes, But I have put the same type of file into Itunes before with no issues (MP3)

    Hey Haley.1182,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble importing music into iTunes. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article should help get the music imported. The second article shows what formats are compatible with iTunes.

  • How can i sync music from different computer without losing pictures??

    my phone randomly "deleted" all of my music. It all shows up in itunes when I plug it into a computer. The only problem is MY compuer is currently out of commision and wont be fixed for at least a month. What Im trying to do is plug it into my friends computer and get music from her iTunes but when i go to move over specific songs a little window pops up that says my iphone can only be synced with 1 itunes at a time and that the current content will be erased if i do this. Im just not sure if this means all of the music content or all of the content including apps, pictures, etc. 
    all i need to know is how can i put music onto my iphone from someone elses itunes without losing my pictures or affecting any other content on my phone?

    Did they change that or is it just that way for iphone? because I know when i had an Ipod classic.. or whatever theyre called.. I could definitely get music from mulitple computers. I had music from at least 4 different itunes accounts when I had that ipod.

  • Can i upload music from different compute

    so the last MP3 player i had wouldnt let me upload from more than one computer. so when? i got a new computer, i got screwed because it wouldnt let me upload any more music onto my player, unless i deleted everything that was already on my player. I just bought a Creative Zen V for my little brother for christmas, and i thought it would be cool if i uploaded some music on it for him so when he opens it, he can listen to it. but i didnt want to do that if he can only upload from one computer. if anyone knows, let me know! thanks!!

    This is called illegal file sharing.

  • Exporting and Importing music from one compute to another

    I have just downloaded i-tunes onto my Dell notebook. I want to get the same music library from my HP computer on to my Dell so I have the same music. How do I go about that? I can't seem to get the info I need. Hopefully someone out there and help me.
    Thanks, Sami

    Yes I am trying to do the same thing via Home Sharing.
    Just bought a new macbook for my son, who ofcourse wants certain songs from my itunes, he can see and play my songs via home sharing aslong as my MBP is open and on, but as soon as its off, he loses the itunes.
    I have tried to drag my music via homesharing onto his music folder in itunes but it won't drag.
    is there a simple setting, it won't do that, I have to do it the old fashioned way, or something else ?

  • How to import music from my computer into iTunes 12

    I tried "Add To ->" then My iPhone, but it didn't add it. Help?

    There are various programs that can convert wma files.  I have a couple, but they are specifically windows programs, so I run them with parallels.  Switch is a basic one, but it doesn't preserve the tags.  The newest one I got was dbpoweramp....this program preserved all the tags and saves a LOT of work.

  • How do I import music from other libraries on the same computer?

    We have four separate accounts created on our iMac for four different users. Each of these accounts has an iTunes library associated with it. I would like to be able to import music from one iTunes library to another. I would be grateful for any help!

    To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

  • Is there a way to import music from my ipod to the computer?

    is there a way to import music from my ipod to the camputer?
    I have music from all over the world and i want to import all of it to my computer..

    Sorry for insulting Apple. This whole thing has me frustrated. You would think that this is an easy thing...which it is after downloading the third party software and all.
    I am just a bit edgy after talking to 3 customer support folks for almost 2 hours, who I could barely understand and then having them just tell me to download the files again. 3500+ songs...jumping out the window was looking more pleasant (jk). Now I have to explain to the wife why the phone is busted in-two...lol.
    Anyway, I was able to get hooked up with some software and it seems to be downloading fine. I am using iPodCopy. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction and putting up with a bit of attitude. I am sure they have their reasons for not making this an easier operation.

  • Can you import music from an itunes from one computer to another?

    can you import music from itunes on one computer to another?

    There are a number of things you could do. One would be to network the to computers and transfer your iTunes folder from one to another. You can also use your iPod as a hard drive and move the folder with it though that would be considerably slower than computer to computer. Here are a few links that may help you out:

    Why is the "Import" button grey when I'm trying to transfer music from one computer to another using Home Sharing?

    Hi lexipuppy,
    I dont know if you have your music on your other computer was on itunes, but if it was, make sure that you signed into your itunes account on your other computer. If you are signed in then your music should show up in your library.
