Music in a vault - using laptop and desktop for Itunes - how?

I keep all my music in a storage vault...
I want to be able to use my music on my laptop and on my desktop PC... but depending on which machine I am on when I add new tunes.... the other machine will not recognize the new music once I plug my vault in...
How do I get around this... I want both machines to recognize all the music on may vault whenever I plug it in.
Thanx
Steve

There is Apple's Remote app which will allow you to control iTunes on the computer. Remote will let you browse your iTunes Library and it's playlists as well as controlling the AirPlay speakers connected to it. This option would require you to pair up your Bluetooth speaker to your Mac.
Another option is using Home Sharing. Once turned on and set up your iTunes Library on the Mac should be selectable in Music's Shared section on the iPad found by tapping the More button. Once loaded your iTunes Library is displayed on the iPad including the playlists. This method will play through the iPad to a Bluetooth speaker paired to it.
Home Sharing works well although it can take some time to load up on the iPad depending on how big you library is. I prefer using Remote although I have Apple TVs and WiFi AirPlay speakers through out the house to stream content to.

Having problems transfering music to my Nano between laptop and desktop.

Recently my desk top PC broke down. I then got a Nano for my birthday (cool) so bought some podcasts and tracks from i-store and downloaded a small proportion of my cd collection using my laptop. For some reason it takes a couple of hours to download a cd into i-tunes. For that reason, now my PC is back with me I downloaded the rest of my cd collection onto the hard drive then transfered the music into the recently installed i-tunes.
Here's the problem, when I connected the nano to the PC for the first time I was asked if I wanted to replace the present library (laptop) with the new PC library. I want both as I don't see how to get the bought and paid for stuff off the laptop, onto my PC and then on to the Nano.
I can understand why this may of happened as you could just plug your i-pod/nano etc into someone elses laptop and bootleg their music but I don't want to have tp pay for my downloads twice. Can anyone help me out?

your iphone can only synce with one pc at a time, but when you want to add songs to your iphone for another pc, and you don't want to lose the data that you already have,
1- on your music store creat a new list(on your iphone)
2-press synce
3- the songs that are on the pc, drag them to the play list you created and synce.
that is what i always do

Using Laptop and Desktop

I have both a MacPro and MBP.
I keep my aperture managed library on the macpro.
2 questions:
1. If on the road and loading and editing pics on my laptop what is the best way to get these edited pics back into my library on macpro.
2. If at home can I work on my pics which are on my macpro from my MBP. I have both on airport network.
Thanks for the help.

1. Export the projects when you get home then import them on your Mac Pro when you get home.
2. Yes, but you'd be best off transferring the pics to the Mac Pro. Editing or working on files over a network will be slow. If you have a lot of photos booting the Macbook Pro into Target Disk mode then copying the projects over to the Mac Pro via a FW800 cable would probably be the easiest option.

Moving Music Videos between laptop and desktop

I have purchased 4 music videos from iTunes store. They are on my laptop. I was travelling on business and wanted to try out the new music videos.
Now that I am home and using my Dual G5 desktop, how do I move or share these videos off my laptop top to my desktop? Is there any way to sync two iTunes libraries to keep them the same. Since I own both laptop and desktop seems rather stupid to not be able to do this.
I really just started using iTunes when the video part was released, so I maybe overlooking something really easy to fix this issue.
I have turned on iTunes music library sharing on the laptop but only audio music is shown when viewing from my iTunes desktop. No videos are listed. I event made a playlist folder on my laptop called Videos and copied the videos into this list.
The list "Video" shows up when looking from my desktop, but no vidoes are listed in the playlist.
thanks

Bill,
"Is there any way to sync two iTunes libraries to keep them the same. Since I own both laptop and desktop seems rather stupid to not be able to do this."
I have the very same situation as many others do, so I've asked the very same question to an Apple Genius at the Manhattan Village Store in CA, and the answer is no. Why? You can have multiple iPods connected to a single computer, but not multiple computers connected to a single iPod. The reason for that is DRM.
Your best bet is to keep both libraries synched using apps like "You Synchronize" or "Folder Synchroniser", this way you'll have the same library across both Macs, and you can use any one as a Master for your iPod. Works for me!

Should I use a macbook pro as my laptop and desktop, or have a macbook pro and an iMac?

Just look at how many posts are on this forum, let alone the Boot Camp forum, about Windows on a Mac.
Got to any of the virtual machine software forums and take a look. Why do you thing there are 3 different virtual machine program available for the Mac to run Windows, let alone Apple's own Boot Camp system.
If it wasn't needed do you think Apple would have there own system for installing and running Windows on all Mac computers.
I personally don't know of any Mac users, and I know quit a few, that do not have a version of Windows installed on there Mac computers. Either in a boot camp partition or in one of the virtual machine programs.
There is some software that has just Windows versions. If you need that software and you own a Mac you need Windows to run it.

I have iTunes installed on a laptop that I use for work, but it's owned by my employer. A new policy my have them deleting iTunes from the machine. If that happens, will I lose all my music? I am an iCloud user and pay for iTunes match.

If they just delete iTunes, the music files should still be there. I suggest making a backup of them though. Locate your iTunes folder (The one that contains your library file) and just copy the whole thing to your Documents folder or wherever you like (Just not in the same directory of the original folder otherwise the computer will get confused and could confuse your iTunes library). Then you will have a backup of all your music, plus if you purchased it from iTunes, you will still have it linked to your Apple ID so you can re-download them to any computer with iTunes on it when you feel like it.

Can I install Adobe Photoshop on my laptop and desktop using the same license?

Can I install Adobe Photoshop on my Laptop and Desktop using the same License?
Thanks!

For Photoshop CC:
You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers. You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.

Using FF7; Syncing my data between laptop and desktop; everything syncs fine, but for the tabs. I have no history of the open tabs of the other device, nor can I find an option to let start a session the latest session of the other device

solution to start session with latest session of synced device?

Good instinct not to shut down!
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Copy all sessionstore files (e.g., sessionstore.bak, sessionstore.js) to a safe location (e.g., your Documents folder). Whatever was saved before is in one or both of those files.
This problem of a window sometimes loading the correct number of tabs but the tabs not being navigated to the corresponding pages has been mentioned before, but I do not recall anyone identifying what causes it or how to solve it. If Firefox saved the URLs of those pages, they will be in one or both of those sessionstore files.
These threads have suggestions on how to "mine" the old file to extract the URLs:

Synching Itunes Account Content on HP Laptop and Desktop

In my home office I use an HP desktop and when travelling use my HP laptop. I have one Apple account that has all my music on as well as purchased movies from iTunes. I also have a load of "Home Movies" that are from my DVD collection. Some of the Home Movies do not appear when I am in my account on my laptop and the others do not appear on my desktop. I don't understand why this is as i have uploaded Videos using both laptop and desktop? Any clues how to synch the two? I have also now purchased Apple TV and when I go to Home Share, two separate accounts are shown with the same name? Surely there has to be a way to sync?

You can have a maximum of two installs. Can be PC/PC, Mac/PC or Mac/Mac; any combo.
Should be no need to register as long as you've signed in with your Adobe ID? (Best way to do all this is via the Creative Cloud Desktop app.)

My parents and I share itunes and their music keeps downlaoding onto my laptop and phone, is there any way to prevent this from happening?

My parents were too lazy and didnt know how to create their own itunes account. so I was wondering if either 1)there was a way to stop their music from geting on my laptop and phone,or 2) a way to transfer my perchases to a new itunes account. If anyone has any ideas besides burning everything to discs I'd love to hear it.

Hey there 79usma79!
I have a couple of articles for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are seeing with iTunes on Windows XP. The first is a general troubleshooting article, which can be found right here:
iTunes for Windows XP: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1421
This article can help you find out if there are any conflicts between your copy of Windows XP and iTunes, and can tell you what to do if there are. Before going down the troubleshooting route though, you should take a look at this article, which can help you back up your entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, so if this issue is recurring, you will be able to restore from that backup and will not have to worry about losing your playlists or music again:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
