ITunes Music on different computers

I bought several songs from iTunes-Store. I changed two computers from windows to mac. Now i'm no more able to play the songs, because it's said, i have already saved the files on 5 computers. how can i clear from the others. i don't have the music on them anymore.

If you've reached your limit of 5 authorisations you have the option to deauthorise them all in one go from your iTunes Store account and start over again. *Just note that you can only use this option once a year*: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
To deauthorise all computers associated with your account:
1. Click iTunes Store in the Source pane.
2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
3. Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.

    How do I transfer music from different iTunes accounts on different computers?

    Move the song files to the desired computer and then either drag them into the library in the open iTunes application window or the Automatically Add to iTunes folder. If this would cause the single library to have content from more than five Apple IDs, you may not be able to sync it to an iPod or iOS device.

  • Put itunes downloaded from different computers on same ipod?

    Hello,
    I have downloaded itunes onto two different computers using the same account. How do I put these itunes onto my ipod without deleting any content? Thanks, Jake.

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer change the update setting on your iPod to manual. Connect your iPod to the computer you are using it on now an in iTunes go to Edit>Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing Your Songs Manually
    For info: iPod 101
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • Itunes in 2 different computers, syncing??

    Can I install Itunes in 2 different computers and sync my ipad and my iphone in both of them?
    also, my old compuer died... so the iphone and the ipad are not new, but the itunes will be newly downloaded.... will that affect the info?
    THX I am freaking out...

    Yes, but it is not trivial...
    Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
    Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
    I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
    As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
    When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.
    You should be able to transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any non-store purchased media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer, (skip this if you've already got all the media) then restore the device from the backup you just made. That should  preserve all your data and switch the assocation of the device to the new machine. I've had positive feedback on this method from other users but I've never had to test it personally.

  • Combining 2 itunes from 2 different computers

    I have two itunes on two different computers and i was wondering what would be the best and easiest way to combine them

    Hi, I have a suggestion, Try getting an external hard-drive or if your collection is small, get a USB drive.
    1-Find where your songs are stored or where iTunes is getting them from (to find out go into iTunes Prefs or settings under "advance tab"- it will say iTunes Media Folder Location).
    2- Go to that spec. fold location and copy or move you music to your USB/External Hard-drive
    3-Go to your new computer, put in USB/Hard drive, BUT!!!!... instead of Dragging music files to itunes directly to your iTunes Music Library, on left side of bar in Itunes, copy the music into the fold which the new computer's music is store, to find out repeat step 1&2
    4-Copy that music in THAT folder first, (because if not, you'll have to leave you USB/Hard drive plugged in all the time if you want to play/snyc music. iTunes remembers where the files are, it doesn't store them direct into the program itself, so if you ever have an "!" by your songs, that is why-FYI)
    5-From THAT folder on your NEW COMPUTER, import them into iTunes (File--Import into Library) OR Select and drag into "Music Library"
    6-iTunes will ask if you want them to be organize , I click yes, and depending on how many songs you are moving into your new computer's iTunes, you might want a cup of coffee--or do a cross word
    I hope that helps!!!

  • HT1473 I have two separate iTunes libraries on different computers and I would like to compact into one. But I cannot without completely erasing one of the libraries. How can I do this without deleting anything?

    Copy the content from one computer to another and import the media into iTunes.
    Any playlists, playcounts, etc on the computer the content is being moved from will be lost.

  • Can my wife and I share iTunes accounts on different computers?

    My wife uses an Apple Airbook, I work on a desktop PC. I've had an iTunes account for a long time and we share music, etc. So can we share the same iTunes account from our different computers?

    No. iOS is not designed at this time for multiple account logins. You would be synching over the top of each other.

  • Same iTunes library on different computers.

    I have two personal computers that both serve different functions (one is a Mac and another is a PC running Windows 7) and I would like to use the same iTunes library between them, using my external hard drive. On the mac, I have moved the default library to the external hard drive, and when the drive is connected it runs through there. I would like to do the same for the PC, but instead of creating a new library folder, how do I tell iTunes to use the one that is already there from the Mac? I would like to do this through the external hard drive, as I use the computers in different locations and Home Sharing is not an option. I would like to be able to use the external hard drive to access my library and sync my iPod from either laptop, because when I travel I leave the Mac at home.

    It can be done, however you will need the appropriate drivers or disk format so that both operating systems can read & write to the drive, your library needs to be in the standard nested format of an iTunes library folder containing the database files and an iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder with all your media. The library also needs to be in the newer layout as shown on the right in this image.
    If it isn't use the option Library > Organize Library >  Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder>".
    If it isn't in nested folders see this post.

  • Music on different computers

    I have two different computers with iTunes on them. Currently I cannot access the internet with my computer that my iPod is installed on. Is it possible to download music on my other computer and put it on my iPod without burning it to a CD and importing it on the first computer?
    iPod Mini   Windows XP  

    After connecting your iPod to the 'other computer' set it to manual manage. (This is done in iPod preferences which is the first thing you see in iTunes 7.) Now that the iPod is set to manually manage you can drag music from the computer to any iPod playlist and it will be added.
    Note - to add music drag songs to the playlist you want them in. To erase songs from the iPod you must drag it from the iPod's main catalog, not a playlist.

  • ITunes music for different family members

    Hello
    I have just purchased my first Mac, a standard 27" iMac (seems strange to call this wonderful - so far - Mac 'standard'!), I have transferred my iTunes music from my Sony Viao Laptop. This music, with one exception, is from my own CD's, with only one album purchased through iTunes so far.
    There are also quite a few Apps for the iPhone, and the synced address book and calander.
    Now what I want to do, if it it possible, is to have my iTunes music files on an external HD, and that the three iTune accounts that I want to have, one for each member of the family with their own account on the iMac, can see all the music files, and can each create their own Playlists and sync their iPhone/iPod.
    Is this possible? Seems silly to have to have three complete copies of the music file.
    Probably this has been gone over umpteen times already.
    Thanks
    Adam

    The ideal would be to have different Apple IDs for each member. This will allow them to set up their accounts as they like and be able to use iCloud without worrying about the possibility that other members can see their personal data. However, if you want to purchase an app for all the members, you will have to purchase it for each account

  • Syncing iphone to iTunes on two different computers...

    Hello everyone.
    So I have been wrestling with these trying to find a solution for my issue.
    I think this is a two part question.
    I have iPhone that I use for both home and work. I have some music, apps and such on it. Basically, when at work, I plug it in to let it charge and do the same at home.
    Now, the problem is, I cannot sync my iphone correctly. Seems like my home is different from work and I always end up having to reinstall my apps, download pics and music.
    Is there a way to get around this, so I can plug in my iPhone into either iTunes location and it will be the same? I cant seem to figure it out.
    The other thing I was hoping to get answered is, I subscribe to a lot of podcasts through iTunes. I usually do this at work on my Mac there. Is there anyway to get the podcasts that I subscribe to at work, to show up on my Mac at home?
    Appreciate the help.
    Jas

    I'm pretty certain you can't have your podcasts show up on your iTunes from a different library but there are some third-party softwares that will allow to you transfer music etc. back to your mac.
    I'm not too familiar with the iPhone but there are a few similarities with the iPod.
    Unless you 'manually manage' your iPhone then you can put music (and am assuming applications) on it from different libraries. You should be able to listen to your music from other sources when your iPhone is connected.
    If at any point you revert to automatically syncing you iPhone it will only sync the contents of the library you've synced it to.

  • ITune account of different computers

    I am unable to pull up my iTunes account when logged in on my husband's side: we've found that if we dial up on his side(log in name/side) the computer runs faster however I do not know how to access iTunes on his side. Nor do I know how to access my acct on other computers as well

    You can log into your account on other computers, and purchase and download music on other computers. However, if you're expecting to log into iTunes and see your previous purchases on that computer, you're unable to do so. When you download something from the iTunes store, and download it, a file is downloaded onto your computer's hard drive, which is where it stays (and, usually copied onto the iPod). For this reason, the songs cannot be accessed from another computer, as they were never saved on that computer.

  • ITunes music on two computers

    We recently acquired a new laptop for my daughter to take to college. If we install iTunes on her laptop and I copy our iTunes music folder over to her machine, can she have access to this same list of purchased music? In otherwords can we have our iTunes music library on two computers at the same time? Would it make a difference if she gets an iPod of her own some day? This is all music we have bought and paid for. Thanks to anyone who can help.

    hi dave she will have access to the music, however you will have to 'authorize' the computer to play purchased music, this is set in the 'advanced' menu in itunes.
