One ipod two different computers...

I have had my ipod classic for about 2 years now and I recently got a new lap top. All of my music and videos are on my desktop computer. I downloaded itunes to my lap top but when I plug in my ipod the itunes doesnt have any music in it. How do i get the music from my desktop computer,which is also on my ipod, to my lap top?

Click here and follow the instructions, or network the computers and move the songs over.

  • One iphone Two Different Computers

    I just bought the iphone and have a PC with my outlook contacts and my power book G4 for my music. I connected the iphone to the PC when I first openend it up, loaded the outlook contacts, activated the iphone and went throught the whole process. Then, later I connected the phone to my power book and tried to load my music and I can not get itunes on my power book to see my iphone? Any suggestions I would be grateful!!!

    I would first say ensure you have the latest iTunes on your Powerbook.
    But also note, you can only sync to 1 PC (just like with an iPOD). If you go to sync to another PC, it will remove all previous data from other sync first. You have to pick one to use.
    If all your contacts are just on one, either network and map the drive/share of the other to get access to music or bring contact info over to other.

  • Same ipod two different computers

    I need to start using my laptop for my itunes and ipod. Thing is, my ipod has never been used on the laptop. Is there a way to transport all of the music from my ipod to the laptop or would I be better off getting a personal media drive for all my music? - my ipod is a fifth generation 60GB video and i use windows xp

    Is all of your music on your iPod? If so, there really isn't a need to move your music library to your laptop unless you plan to start buying music or importing CDs on the laptop.
    I use my home PC to import and buy. At work, I connect the iPod to the work PC and use iTunes to play the music, podcasts, and audiobooks directly off the iPod. It's funny that my 60GB iPod has a larger HD than my work PC\.
    On weekends, I set my iPod to sync music and podcasts. During the week, I have the iPod set on manual sync yst still automatically sync podcasts. This works great for me. YMMV.
    Looks like I will buying a MacBook Pro in October. I plan to do the same with the MBP as with my work PC as for as iTunes is concerned.
    Enjoy life!

  • One iPod, Two different problems

    First off, the ipod's clickwheel doesn't work. Not uncommon. If somebody would help me fix this problem that would be great. More importantly though, I was trying to see if I could fix, and now, the iPod doesn't stay on unless I hold down a button. I push and hold any of the five buttons under the clickwheel, and it will boot up but need restoring. If at any time I let go of the button I am holding, the iPod will shut off. Very curious problem, haven't seen anything like it before. Perhaps the lack of a separate connection, or the grounding tape between the screen and the clickwheel board? Please help! Not entirely sure if this is iPod classic or 5th gen, if they are the same or not...

    Plz I need help.

  • Using a ipod with two different computers...

    I just bought a new laptop and had to download itunes again but when i hook up my ipod it tells me that that ipod is already synced with another computer (my main desktop comp.). Is there a way to use my ipod with two different computers, or can you just use one computer at a time?
    thanks!

    You can use more than one computer, but you'll have to load your iPod MANUALLY if you do, otherwise it will keep erasing things to match the library it's hooked up to.

  • HT1364 I used these instructions to move my i-tunes library to the external hard drive that two different home pc's access. My playlists do not show on both Is it possible to have one i-pod synch amid two different computers that use the same library?

    I have a sole i-pod and two pc's, used the instructions for "iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder" in the hope that I could synch my one i-pod between two different computers that are sharing the same library. Is it possible to have two seperate computers that only share an external hard drive (one wireless, one not) ? When I am looking at a shared library should it appear the same on both machines (ie: playlists/ purchased list etc)?

    If it is moved correctly, playlists will display on both computers and it should be possible.
    Close iTunes.
    Hold <SHIFT> and launch iTunes.
    When prompted to create a new or open an existing iTunes library point iTunes to the iTunesLibrary.itl file on the external drive.
    The entire library should now show up with all playlists and playcounts.
    Do this on both computers.
    Keep in mind that only one computer can access iTunes at a time, otherwise errors will occur when each computer attempts to write to or update the iTunesLibrary.itl file.
    Syncing may work seemlessly with both computers, but honestly syncing is designed to work with one and only one computer.

  • How can I use the same "I Tunes" on two different computers

    I’m using two different kinds of Personal Computer: One is Desktop PC And the other one is Notebook .
    In each computer there are the same songs and when I get the new ones to the Desktop I want them to be placed on the Notebook or reverse.
    Where does the I Tunes save the playlist on the hard drive ?
    I have prepared a playlist on my Notebook and want it to be seen on the Desktop but I dont want to fallow the steps File > Library > Export Playlist on the Notebook. Is there any other way to make this issue instead of the mentioned steps.
    How can I see the same Playlists and songs on two different computers ( notebook and desktop) including the updating processes.
    Operating systems of the computers:
    Desktop: XP Pro
    Notebook: Vista Bussiness

    I use SyncToy 2.0 to keep two instances of my library in sync. SyncToy's preview will show which files it is about to update giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the changed files will be copied saving lots of time.
    As long as I sync after making updates at one instance of the library before making any updates at the other then everything works just fine. I periodically run iTunes Folder Watch to check for any orphaned entries or new items that haven't been imported into the active library. If your machines are regularly networked together this process is fairly straightfoward. Mine are in disparate locations so I use one of the (physically) small WD My Passport host powered drives which I take between home & work, synchronising at either end. This gives me three complete copies of my library so I'm covering backup & synchronisation in the same operation.
    When connecting my iPod at either location iTunes recognises itself as the "home" library for the iPod so I'm able to use the sync with selected playlists option without getting warning messages about the iPod being synced with a different library.

  • Same iTunes Account on Two Different Computers

    Is there any way for someone to create an iTunes that allows a person to access the same iTunes account on two different computers? Like if my mom wanted the same songs on her computer as the ones on my dad's computer, but she doesn't want to go through the trouble of using a flash drive. They both want to have access to the same account on two different computers.

    if the computer cannot be turned on, one option would be to remove the hard drive and put it in an external enclosure that can be connected to the working computer.

  • Downloading songs from two different computers, and not recognizing songs

    On my home computer, I downloaded about 40 songs onto my IPod from CDs. Then, I installed the program on my work computer, and purchased four songs from ITunes. When I plug my IPod into my work computer, it is not recognizing the songs I downloaded from my home computer. However, if I plug my IPod into my work computer, I can listen to these four purchased songs, but once I try to listen to them without having it plugged into my work computer, only the songs I downloaded from home are on the IPod.
    Has this happened to anyone else who has tried to put songs from two different computers onto their IPod?

    Just to elaborate a bit, you need to copy the purchased files and put them on your home computer.
    Don't burn them as an audio CD as you will lose quality when you re-import them.
    You can use the Shuffle (instead of a CD) to do this

  • When I set (on two different computers) the Location Bar to "Nothing" it resets to "History and bookmarks" as soon as I close and reopen Firefox.

    When I set (on two different computers) the Location Bar option: When using the location bar suggest: to "Nothing" it resets to "History and bookmarks" as soon as I close and reopen Firefox. I am using the latest vesion on Win8 on both computers. One has Bitdefender the othe McKafee. I have no obvious Addware, I use Iobit Uninstaller Advanced Care and and Driver manager on both computers. Until now I have always used Firefox as I refuse to use Explorer and I do not want to have to use Opera or another browser instead.
    Can you please help?

    Have you seen this general article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]?
    Also, this might be a glitch with using automatic private browsing mode. Some settings changes might not be saved in that mode.
    If all else fails, do you want to try a manual hack?
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window (Windows Explorer window) showing your current settings files.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then open '''prefs.js''' in a text editor by right-clicking it and choosing Edit or Open With. (Double-clicking leads to Windows attempting to execute it, so I do not recommend that.)
    Paste this at the end of the file on its own line:
    user_pref("browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled", false);
    Then save the file and close your editor.
    Start Firefox back up again. Did the manual change work?

  • Can I run two applications at once from two different computers?

    Good Evening,
    I would like to use the cloud service. I have read over the FAQs and they were quite clear, however I did not seem to find something to the effect of what I need answered.
    If I were to download the apps on a backup computer and my personal computer, can I run for example a photoshop application on one computer, while running an encore application on the other computer at the same time?
    The FAQs state that I can pick and choose which apps I want on a computer. Will I be able to download a portion of the apps on my personal computer and the remaining on a backup computer, while being able to use a portion on computer and another portion on another computer at the same time?

    You could be working in two different applications on two different computers, going back and forth between them.
    You can install any of the applications that you wanted to use on either of the computers but still only on two computers overall.
    Hope that helps,
    -Dave

  • Premiere Pro CS5 Not exportting to tape on TWO different Computers!!! HELP

    I had a prior post in january with a new desktop having problems exporting to tape. when it would export a blue screen would come up at random times breaking up the recording. almost like the camera was losing signal with the computer.
    Im capturing and exporting using a Canon XHG1 HDV camera.
    Both the Laptop (sony vpcf11x) and Desktop (custom with intel sandybridge motherboard) can CAPTURE tapes fine. but export causes problems on BOTH machines.
    Both of my computers (a laptop and desktop use the Intel i7 chipset.
    I have a Third desktop (gateway something or other) that ive been using Sony Vegas to Export to tape and it WORKS EVERYTIME! with the same Camera and Firewire Cable.
    Itried installing Sony Vegas onto the new Desktop to export and I get the SAME problem that I get with Exporting with Premiere.
    has anyone else heard of these problems? it is really starting to irritate me. with everything ive done, it has to be something with Adobe. how can i have the same problem on two different computers?

    Here are more specific information with my system and settings for you to see. I also included a video of my workflow and showing you what exactly is happening on export.
    Project Settings:
    Capture Format DV
    Video Rendering and Playback: Mercury Playback Engine Software only
    Sequence Settings:
    DV NTSC
    29.97 fps
    720x480
    Aspect Ratio 16:9
    30fps Drop-Frame Timecode
    Playback Settings:
    Desktop Video Display during playback checked box
    External Device: DV_29.97 720x480i
    Aspect Ration Conversion: Hardware Only
    External Device Audio
    Export: external device DV: 29.97 720x480i
    Disable video output when in the background is not checked
    Export to tape settings:
    Activate recording device is checked
    assemble timecode, delay movie start, and preroll _ frames (none are checked)
    abort after _ dropped frames (not checked)
    report dropped frames (not checked)
    render audio before video (is checked)
    I render out the video to one file (on my desktop).
    then import the clip into a new sequence with the above settings.
    file>export>tape>
    then it begins recording and drops out like the camera loses signal.
    this is really frusterating.
