Loaded music on two computers - how do I get both libraries in my ipod?

loaded music on two computers - how do I get both libraries in my ipod?
Started Itunes on my home computer and added some CDs that were made from old albums and I had to manually inpt titles..then took a stack on a trip and did the same on my laptop. But when I tried to update my Ipod with the laptop it asked did I want to replace the library.
Can't my Ipod be updated from more than one source?
Maybe 50 yrs old is too old for an ipod:)
Thanks,

  • ITunes Match music videos are ineligible, how can I get them back onto my iPod?

    Hi,
    I subscribed to iTunes Match earlier today, turned it on and did the same on my ipod touch but have now discovered all my music videos are ineligible and can't be tansfered via iCloud. It wont allow me to sync my iPod via USB cable. Is there anyway I can get my videos back onto my iPod? Thanks

    I'm looking into this as well. Most of my videos were purchased from apple and showed up originally. But, I had a lot of problems with the tags in my regular music and had to more or less purge my iCloud library. Afterwards, I had the same problem as you. iTunes would no longer match the iTunes purchased music videos.
    Anyhow, there is a quick way to get them transfered to your iPod.
    Right click on the videos and use "Get Info" to change them to a "TV Show."
    You can also set the "Show" to something like "Music Videos."
    I also set all then music videos grouping to "Music Video."
    Created a smart playlist that just listed all things grouped as such.
    Make sure Sync TV Shows is checked.
    I may have left a step or two out. But, you should be able to handle the rest from there.
    This is what I'm doing at least until I find a better solution.

  • CAN I LOAD MUSIC FROM TWO COMPUTERS

    I use my laptop for 99% of my itunes library and update my ipod on it as well. I recently downloaded a few albums to a desktop -- when I try to load the music onto my ipod, it asks me if I want to REPLACE all my music with the few albums in this new library. How do I keep all my existing music on my ipod and add just a few albums from a new, previously unused libary on the desktop.

    If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer change the update preference to "manually manage songs and playlists:

  • I have an iTunes account with music. My wife has an iTunes account with apps. How do I get both on our iPad2? Without syncing to just one account?

    I have an iTunes with music and videos. My wife has an iPhone with music and apps. How do I get both on our iPad2?
    Without syncing to just one account?
    We each have our own laptops.

    Hmm.
    Probably easier for me to put all my stuff on my wife's computer I suppose.
    Rebuilding all those iTunes playlists is not very fun though.
    And of course anything new that I want on my laptop I will have to duplicate on her laptop in the future.
    Not sure how iCloud works just yet.
    So you can't have two laptops and manually sync both people's stuff to one iPad?

  • HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account.  An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
    If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state).  If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
    Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

  • I have an Iphone 4S and two computers, can I sync with both computers? When I click on manual manage it says I have to delete songs from phone

    I have two computers, my desktop has much more music on it, but my laptop is 10 times faster.  I originally sync'd my iphone 4s with the desktop to try and keep the hard drive on the laptop from bogging down.  My desktop is on it's way out and I'm trying to sync with the laptop but itunes won't let me.  When I go into my iphone on the computer I check off to manual manage music and when I hit apply it tells me that the iphone can only be sync'd to one computer and requires the contents of the phone being deleted.  Is there anyway around this or am I going to have to delete everything and go through my laptop?

    This is from article on device with multiple computers:
    iPod shuffle and iPhone are intended for use with a single computer. You cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle and iPhone like you can with other devices.

  • If I purchased a movie, from a computer a LONG time ago like 3 years but recently I changed computers how can I get that movie back? p.s. I bought the movie from iTunes

    If I purchased a movie, from a computer a LONG time ago like 3 years but recently I changed computers how can I get that movie back? p.s. I bought the movie from iTunes

    If you don't have the movie on the old computer and you don't have the movie backed up on a disc somewhere, your only choice is to purchase the movie again. Currently, movie downloads are a one time deal andit is your responsibility to have a backup copy.
    If you have the movie on the other computer still, you can burn it to a DVD and then copy it over to the new computer.
    Personally, I have two computers and when I make a purchase on one, iTunes automatically copies it to the other and I have never lost videos or music in this manner.

  • HT1451 Hi All, I have 2 users on my desktop, 1 i-tunes account and log-in but both users have different music contents i.e. one has the full iTunes library and the other only has some songs. How do i get both users to have the same music content?

    I Have 2 users on my computer and both access i-tunes using same password etc. however 1 library has the full content of music but the other one has only partial playlists. How do I get both users to have the same full library?

    The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the  "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

  • I downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    i downloaded an album on itunes using my new itouch; but it's only allowing me to put three songs at any one time into the music app...how can i get it to just move them all in there?

    hi philly, thanks for getting back to me, especially on such a busy day.
    I don't think that's quite the issue though. I bought an album and it appears in 'my purchases' within the itunes app. Yet, in order to listen to the music, i must use the 'music' app and in this application, there are only three tracks displayed at any one time from my downloaded album.
    I can 'download all' from the 'my purchases' section but that still doesn't help, it just keeps the last three tracks downloaded in the music app.
    I have the 'icloud' enabled and wondered if it had anything to do with that.
    i have successfully downloaded another full album totally into the music app, but this first album is causing me problems.

  • I have ical on two computers. Can't get ical (vers. 4) with OS 10.6 to copy to older desk top with OS 10.4 with ical vers 2. Is there a way to do this?

    No. iCal isn't just the program you open to see the calendars, there are other things going on beneath the surface, and it's hooked into the System. 10.4 doesn't have the facilities to run iCal intended for 10.6.

  • After buying a new Macbook pro and opening an iTunes Match account most of my music is grayed out on my Mac and iPhone. I have not turned on iTunes match on my iPad and all my music is fine.  How do I get my music back????

    The most efficacious way to get your music and other personal data onto your new Mac is to restore it from the backup you made of your old computer. Once that is done you can re-enable iTM on the new Mac and your iPhone.

    By any chance, did you have the Find My iPhone app installed prior to it being stolen?

    Hopefully you had your iTunes purchases backed up to an external source such as an external drive or CD's?
