Itunes on sepparate computers

We have two computers in the household. Both are windows machines. I have used both computers to purchase games from itunes. I find that I am not able to load the games from both computers onto my ipod. It appears to me that the only way to move a game from itunes to an ipod is through the "sync" function under the Games tab. By syncing with itunes on one computer I delete the game that I loaded by syncing with the other computer.
Is there another means, apart from the "sync" function, by which I can move games from itunes to my ipod?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Wayne

Use the Transfer Purchases option on one computer so that that computer has all of the games on it, and then sync the games from that computer to the iPod.

Music and Video on Nas in folders but how do i set up itunes on multiple computers to see and use these files and create libraries?

Music and Video on Nas in folders but how do i set up itunes on multiple computers to see and use these files and create libraries?
So i have had a itunes set up on my old PC, bought a NAS and copied the folders over to the NAS, i did this incorrectly and so then even when i told the old PC to use that folder it saw all the songs but wasnt able to play the songs as it was looking in the incorrect place.
So now i want my Mac as well as my PC and others to all use the music, videos etc on the NAS they are in itunes friendly folders (as they were compiled this way by the itunes on the old PC.
When i tell the mac to use the itunes library.itl file it sees the song list (about 100gb) but cant see any songs, so i have removed this file to another location for now with the hope to set up a new file and then get it to see the songs on the folder from the NAS.
Can someone tell me how to do this for all the Mac's and PC's on my network as i really want one master library that all use and add too.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I have the same question but I am using two pc's

How can I have the same Itunes on 2 computers?

I used to do everything from work so I use my itunes there.
But when I want to do some changes/backups during the week-end, I can't since it's not the same itunes on my laptop.
I use the same Apple ID though. How can I make it the same ??
The one on my laptop is older and I only update the one from work. I wish that all my purchases and everything were reflected on my laptop one.
I now just switched and am fully in Apple mode : Iphone4s, ipod, ipad2... but can't seem to have all of them working on the same itune on 2 computers.
Thanks!

Welcome to AD!
Yes, you can do this. It takes a little setting up. Here is a CNET video that I thnk explains it very well:

Itunes on multiple computers and icloud

I have itunes 10.4.1 on my home computer and on my work computer (both on same account). Is it possible to transfer downloads on one computer to the other using icloud?

is it possible to use icloud to sync my itunes on multiple computers (imac and macbook air)?
Yes. On both Macs open System Preferences > Store. Make sure Music is switched on.
And for "sharing" read here > iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer

My IPad is not being recognized by iTunes on my computers (IMac and MacBook Air)

My IPad is not appearing in ITunes on my computers (IMac and MacBook Air). Troubleshooting didn't help. USB works fine. Cord works when I am charging. IPad is not showing on my computer and not charging from it.

Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.

Trouble using itunes on different computers at home

How can I get all my music from one computer on to another. Any time I try to sync my ipod it wants to wipe wants currently on my file.

Make sure that both computers are connected to the same network. Launch iTunes on both computers.
From the Advanced menu turn on Home Sharing using the same Apple ID on both computers.
At the computer that you want to move your music too select the shared library of the computer that currently holds the music. You will find the remote computer listed on the sidebar under the heading Shared. This should load the list of music from the remote computer. Select all the tracks from the remote computer and then click on the Import button in the bottom-right corner of the iTunes window.

Issue with access to itunes on other computers

i have itunes on 3 computers in my home wireless network. i wish to share the music in itunes from my main pc to my childrens computers in their bedrooms. When itunes is accessed, i can see the "library" appear in the left hand menu, but when "clicked" on to access i get an error box with the following message
"The share music library is not accessible for an unknown reason (-3258)
Check that any firewall software running as on either teh shared computer or this computer has been set to allow commuincation on port 3689"
I have done all sorts of checks and have even disinstalled and reinstalled on the childrens PCs but this still hasn't worked. Can anyone help please?

I am unable to drag songs from a shared music library between computers. This was working until about a month ago. I have updated to the newest versions of Itunes on both computers (a macbook and an older Toshiba satellite). I have also rebooted both.

I am unable to drage songs from a shared music library between computers.   This used to work perfectly until a month ago.   I have installed the newest version of Itunes on both computers and have rebooted them, but nothing happens when I try to drag a song to another playlist or another shared folder. Any ideas how to fix this?

Have you:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If a PC
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or

ITunes on two computers, how can I sync from both

I guess what I want to do is sync Itunes amongst two computers.
When I got my Ipod for Christmas, at the outset I set up Itunes on my son's laptop. And up to this point I have been syncing from this computer.
Now I want to start to sync from my own laptop (actually I want to be able to sync from both computers) and not loose any content.
I do have the January software update and it was installed from my son's computer. I don't want to loose this update if I sync with my computer.
To date, my Ipod has worked flawlessly. I am hoping not to create a problem by introducting my Ipod to my laptop and trying to sync the Ipod from both computers.
I am not too technically inclinded, so I would appreciate any response to take this into account when replying. Thanks.

There is also an option in iTunes. Go to File>Back up to disc. It will then give you some options of what type of back up you want to do. And don't forget hat if you have music on your iPod that is a form of a back up as well. If it is purchased music from the iTunes store, and you loose your music from system crash or whatever. You can re-install iTunes and then connect you iPod and go to Store >Authorize Computer > enter password and then go to File> Transfer Purchases. Now if you have ripped music and loose it you can use any search engine and search for Ipod Ripper programs. These are third party softwares, so basically it means that they work but Apple does not endorse or support them. But trust me when I tell you if you get one that you have to pay a fee for they work.

Sharing iTunes library across computers

Step 5 of the Help file says "select 'Automatically import new purchases from [Computer Name].'" Where is that selection found?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd be happy to elaborate. In iTunes Help, enter "home sharing" as the search term, and select the top topic, "Sharing your iTunes library across computers." The five items are under the heading, "To import items from other libraries using Home Sharing."
I have gone over the steps again and found my problem. I was signed onto the Store under different names (different Mobile Me email address, both mine) on the two computers. I switched to the same name, then turned Home Sharing off and then on on both computers. When each opened the other's library, the other library window has a Settings button in the lower right hand window. That button produces a pane with setting for automatic transfer.
The Help file could be improved. Or iTunes could recognize multiple email addresses for one Mobile Me account. Thanks again.

This has probably come up a million times - iTunes and multiple computers

I have a desktop game machine and a laptop I use primarily for school work and web browsing. Currently, I simply add music to one computer, then remember to add it to another. Is there some program or iTunes extension out there to keep the two libraries perfectly synchronized (including album art)? I'm really picky about having my album art set up perfectly...
Thins which are NOT Options
1. Network drive. I don't always have access to the big desktop via network (when I'm at home, in the car, on the road somewhere else).
2. External drive. I don't want to have to tote an external around. I do have a program to fix an external's drive letter (USB Drive Letter Manager, freeware), but I usually leave the external plugged into my desktop for extra storage.
3. iTunes sharing. Same issue as network drive, no guaranteed access.
Am I doomed to have to keep syncing manually? If there are programs out there, I am not necessarily averse to a commercial (i.e. paid) solution, but freeware (NOT Demoware) is preferred.

There are a few utilities that can help you sync iTunes across different computers. You could begin your research by having a look at these for instance:
TuneRanger
SuperSync

How do i link itunes between two computers with different Apple ID's

how do I link itunes between two computers with different Apple ID

You need to set up two user accounts on the mac. System Preferences>Users & Groups. Then each user can set up apple IDs for itunes and icloud any way they want.
