Is there any way to sync my two macs iTunes libraries?

I have two Macs a Macbook Pro and an Imac.  I'd like to sync the iTunes libraries.  Is this possible?

A not-infrequent question and as yet the answer is pretty much no, there isn't an easy way to do it.  One way is to keep your library on an external drive and move it between computers so you are really using just one library.  Apple has, of course, come up with you being able to download media to various locations as long as you buy all your music from Apple, or you subscribe to Match.  Still, this is just downloading media. It isn't synchronizing the library since that involves more, such as ratings, playlists, playcount, etc.
There's: iTunes: How to share music and video - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2688 - about Music Sharing and Home Sharing.  Still, that just facilitates media transfer, it doesn't update the complete library which is more than just media.
PowerTunes - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/powertunes/ (commercial software)  - doesn't really look like it does what you want.  I have a link for sync-o-tunes which does, but that won't work on modern Macs.

  • I just bought a new iMac and now I am trying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don't have a Mini DisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don't have. Is there any way to connect this two mac's anyway??

    I just bought a new iMac and now I amtrying to use it as a screen for my Macbook pro, but it don’t have a MiniDisplayPort the new model only have Thunderbolt which my Macbook don’t have. Isthere any way to connect this two mac’s anyway??

    Screen sharing setup in 10.5, 10.6 are described by the links by operating system.  10.7 is fairly similar to 10.6.
    And if both Macs have Firewire, you can setup a Firewire over IP network for fast communication between machines.  Note if you have two different Firewire ports a 6 pin to 9 pin Firewire cable does exist.  There are no Firewire to USB cables.

  • Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

    Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

  • Is there any way of syncing mail on mac with mail on iphone so if you open an email on one it is marked as read on the other?

    The title speaks for itself. It's very anoying opening a message on the iphone and when you get to the mac all the messages you read allready on the iphone are not opened yet. Is there any way of syncing them so if you open a mail in iphone its marked 'read' in mac?
    Thanks in advance

    Such behavior requires an IMAP or Exchange account. Sounds like you have a POP account & that's the way that POP accounts work. POP was designed for an age when users had only one device...a computer, thus POP doesn't play well in the modern world where users have multiple devices.

  • Is there any way to sync ur iphone to itunes on a different computer

    I am deploying to afghanistan and i bought a new laptop to take with me the problem is my iphone is synced to my computer at hoe is there any way to download itunes to my laptop and sync my phone to it without losing all my songs and everything else

    Since all iTunes content on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on the computer that has been used for syncing your iPhone, transfer your iTunes library from that computer to your new computer along with all other important data from the existing computer that you will need or want to access on your new computer such as any documents, photos, etc. Transfer your iTunes library per the instructions included with this link.

  • Is there any way to sync to two computers?

    Here is my situation:
    I had an HP mini and I sold it. That computer had all my I tunes music saved to it. I did not back up old my computer and now have a new one. I know that I can sync purchases made through i tunes to my new computer, but not everything I have on my I phone was purchased from I tunes. So my question is, Is there anyway to sync items from my I phone to my new computer??

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • Is there any way to sync notes from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro?

    Is there any way to sync notes from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro?

    If the phone doesn't power on and isn't seen by the computer then you wouldn't be able to pull data off it with the USB connection to your computer.
    You could pursue data recovery if the notes are very valuable, but the cost can be similar to having data recovered from a failed computer drive(possibly prohibitively expensive).

  • Is there any way I can merge two accounts on my macbook?

    I have two accounts on my macbook (version 10.6.8), one that i created when i got the laptop and one i created a few years after because i couldn't remember my old password(which i know now). Is there any way to merge the two accounts into one? (itunes, iphoto, apps, etc.)

    Office for Mac or Office 365. I use it on my Mac and although not as polished or feature rich as the Windows version, serves my purpose perfectly. I also regularly switch between Windows at work and Mac editing the same document so cross-compatibility has been fine too: http://www.microsoft.com/uk/mac
    You could always try Open Office which is free: http://www.openoffice.org/porting/mac/

  • Is there any way to sync essbase heirarchy to MDM ?

    Hi Gurus,
    Is there any way to Sync essbase heirarchy to MDM ?
    I want to put essbase outline to MDM...the need is not to create a new heirarchy in MDM and use existing heirarchy/ outline from Essbase ..

    Sure. Install the latest version of iTunes on your PC, and just connect your iPod Touch to it, decline the prompt to autosync (the warning about losing your music), then go into the info tab, select sync contacts, and click apply. Your contacts will be transferred (both directions, i.e. the outlook contacts and your IPT contacts will be merged and the combined set will be present on both lists).
    Hope this helps...

  • Is there any way to identify the two classes are compiled by same vm

    Is there any way to identify the two classes are compiled by same vm?
    Thank's a lot.

    I think this is the better forum than java compiler. The answer to the question you asked is no.
    But that question is not the best way to address your problem.
    If this were me, I'd use a tool like ASM (http://asm.objectweb.org/) to read in that file, and replace the getToday() method, with one like this
    long getToday() {
        return 20080101;
    }and replace the class file with this new one. (keep the old one, they might be using a class loader that verifies class signatures or something)
    (They said the code you are looking at could have been changed by you - so take the hint and change it back).
    If they've ripped you off, this will restore justice much more cheaply and effectively than involving the lawyers. If they then sue you for breaching the license agreement, that would probably force them to disclose their underhand tactics.
    OTOH, if you're lying to us about the purchase, and needing to pay for upgrades to fix the performance issue, and instead are trying to crack some trial software, then I hope they are using a custom class loader that checks the integrity of the classes.
    If you are being ripped off, why are you not telling us the name of the company? I am not sure who is being ripped off here.

    Upgrade to 10.7.5. See:
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
