Locate them in the Windows Explorer, move or copy those files as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window when the second library is loaded. If you're using two iTunes libraries on one user account, you only need to locate the files; otherwise, they need to be put in a shared area.

Can I transfer digital copies from one iTunes ID to another in the same household?
Within our family there are only two itunes accounts; mine and my wife's. Somehow we've managed to get some movies imported via digital copy redemption on her account instead of mine, the problem with this is the need to switch between user accounts all the time to see the whole movie library. Is there any way for us to transfer the movies from her account to mine- so they are all listed under the same user account? My thoughts are something like a homeshare for our music, where her purchases and mine both compile our collective library.
Anyone have any feedback?
thank youYou can "transfer" the files, but you'll probably have troubles playing them under the other ID. DRM is particular that way, and all downloaded movies have DRM.

I recently bought a new computer and my other one crashed. All my songs, apps, videos and moviesa are gone but they are still on my iPod Touch 4G. Is there any way I can transfer them to my iTunes Library? (Most of them haven't been purchased)
Use 3rd party software like:

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. -

Digital movie download - can I move it from one iTunes file to another?
I have gotten several new Blu-ray and DVD sets for Christmas. Included is a digital copy which can be downloaded. Once I download and move it to iTunes, can I export that from one iTunes file on my Mac to another Mac which I own? I haven't been able to find a relevant post.
CWmain, this is something I'm keen to know too. I've got the new Star Trek and Transformers 2 Blu-ray discs with digital copies. I was hoping I could download the movies to my Mac Pro by redeeming the codes supplied with the discs and once downloaded just copy the resulting download files across to my MacBook Pro. I'm hoping that because both machines are authorised with my iTunes account it should just 'work'. Can anyone confirm this is correct before I go ahead?

How do you transfer movies from one iTunes library to another?
I want to transfer my iTunes library from one user account to another on OS X Lion. I can't seem to do this without receiving a profuse of permission errors. I don't mind being unable to transfer the movies, apps, etc. because I can retreive those from iCloud, but I have a dozen movies that I don't want to lose.
Any ideas?You can use Home sharing

How do I move photos from one aperture library to another?
How do I move photos from one library to another?
Currently I Export to a new temporary library which I import to the other library but It feels kind of a hackish way to do it.
ThanksThat is the way it is set-up to be done (at least for Projects as Libraries).
The only other option is to export master or version (depending on what you want) and then import to other library. -
Move iPad from one iTunes acct to another w/o losing content?
I got a new iPad and my wife is taking over the older one. I have an iTunes account, in my name, on my computer. She has her own account on a separate machine, which she's previously used mostly to manage music on a shuffle -- in other words, there are no apps in that library. Is there any way she can associate this iPad with her account, on her computer, without forfeiting the apps that I've bought and installed? We'd hate to have to buy them again, but we really do prefer each having our separate account and library.
Bearskate,
As I (mis)understand it, from other tools to the Type Tool, you can just press the T key.
Unfortunately, you cannot press the relevant other key with any kind of Type object selected because that will just add that letter somewhere.
You can see the keystrokes for the different tools when you hover over them. -
How do I move a playlist from one library to another on the same computer?
I have two different libraries on the same computer (a Mac mini), one family library and my personal library. I want to move my music from the family library to my personal library, so I put it all in one playlist. I am trying to figure out how to move (or copy) this playlist with all my personal music into my personal library. I have tried copying all of the songs in that playlist and pasting in the new library but that didn't work, it just simply pasted nothing. Any ideas? The playlist is rather large (around 650 songs,) but it seems like apple could manage this without me having to make small playlists. Thanks for any help!
is this second library in a different account on the computer?

Can I move "keepsakes" from one iPhoto library to another?
For one reason or another a specific "keepsake" photobook was created in an iPhoto library that only contained a subset of all my photos. Now I would like to integrate this specific photobook into the iPhoto library that contains ALL my photos, such that all keepsakes are together.
Is there a way, even a work-around or a round-about way that this specific keepsake photobook can be moved into the overall library?
Thanks for any pointers/suggestions/advice.
Cheers,
VeitNo, there is no way to move a keepsake from one Library to another.

Can I move songs from one computers library to another?
Hi I have an Ipod that my husband originally set up on his computer. I have since set it up on my computer and I have a separater library. Can I plug in the Ipod to my computer and download the library that was on his computer. If so, how. Thank you for any suggestions and help.
Place the iPod in disk mode, drag songs from one computer to it's icon in the My Computer window, and on the other machine, drag the songs to the hard disk and then into the iTunes library.

How to move pictures from one photo library to another
I really don't want all my daughter's iPhone selfies in our family Photo library, but I'd like to be able to move/copy some pictures from our family vacation from her library to mine. Can I do that with the new Photos? Is there a setting somewhere that will automatically import her iPhone pictures into her Photos library when her phone is plugged into our family Mac?
The app will import to the Library that's open, so make sure hers is open.
Currently there is no way rot move between libraries except by exporting from one and importing to the other. -
Is there a way to transfer subtitles (text) from one iMovie file to another?
Hi,
I spent literally hours of my life using iMovie 09 to add subtitles to a video before realising that I'd added them to the wrong one! You see, when I imported the video that I actually wanted to add subtitles to, instead of showing up at the top of the "Last Import" screen which would have made sense, it showed up at the bottom - below another version of the same video that I had imported into iMovie a month earlier. I didn't even remember doing this so didn't think twice about spending hours meticulously adding subtitles to this file. It's only when I got to the end of it that I saw the other video and nearly passed out from disbelief and anger....
Anyway, before I go through the whole painful process again, I just wanted to make sure that there's not a way to transfer the subtitles I did for the wrong video onto the right video? If there is, and someone could tell me how, I will love you forever.
Thanks!
P.S. Why is iMovie 09 not an option in the dropdown menu?You should be keeping them all on your computer. You can just sync them to your new idevice
You can also redownload them.

MOVE music from default iTunes library to another?
I'm new to itunes/ipod use. Cannot figure out how to MOVE SOME of the music I've already imported into the default iTunes library to a separate library I created to hold JUST Christmas music. I can create the "Christmas" library and can switch between it and the default library in iTunes but am unable to move music between them. I have the ipod set to manually manage music and to use as a hard drive (I think).
iTunes has to be the most frustrating system I've ever used!!!Not sure what you've tried. Do you want to move the actual holiday music files? Or just temporarily add the holiday music to your main library?
I just have it all in my main library, and all properly tagged with genre=Holiday. Then I have a smart playlist where Genre=Holiday. Now that I don't want to hear any of that stuff anymore, I went into the smart playlist for HOliday, and control-checkmarked it.
Now, none of that stuff will play - it is unchecked, so will get skipped during playback and shuffle.

I have been reading the posts about using IMOVIE09 and then using IDVD. I understand the quality is not great because of IMOVIE09 and the way it does the import. IS the quality better if I skip IMOVIE and use the One Step DVD option in IDVD directly?
