Purchased Songs on Two Computers

Hey, this may be simple but I have itunes at home on my Dell desktop and have no problems with all my purchases and everything being there. I decided to download itunes at work on my desktop and it was fine and my already purchased music showed up. But when I purchased music either at home or at work from there on out, none of the new stuff showed up on the other computer and I could only put it on my ipod at home. The purchase history shows up right in my account. I've authorized the computers. Why won't the new music show up in the others purchased music?Do I need to log out completely because it only lets me log out of the store.

You have to copy the purchase music from one computer to the other. Your purchases are downloaded to the computer you are using at the time you make the purchase, they aren't simultaneously downloaded to multiple locations. You can transfer purchases from one authorised computer to another using your iPod:

    Please help
    Songs that you purchase from the iTunes Store are simply files.  They only sit on the computer where you purchase them, until you copy them to another computer.
    That is how it works.  There is no web site where you can play all your files.  It's primitive I know, but there may be changes coming.

  • "purchased" tunes on two computers??

    I have a laptop which I use for iTunes and my Nano but also have a PC. Is there any way to get my purchased tunes on my PC when I have purchased them from my laptop? My problem is that for some reason Adobe Reader doesn't work on my laptop which prevents me from viewing the digital booklets that come with some purchased albums.
    I'm new to iTunes so any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Jerry

    You are authorized to play your purchased songs on five computers. Probably the easiest way to get the songs from your laptop to your PC is to copy them to a flash drive or CD. Once done, have your PC connected to the internet, play those songs, itunes will ask you to authorize, then you will be okay.

  • Purchased Songs on Two Different Computers

    I have two computers, one at home and one in my office. I have purchase about 30 songs on the computer in my office using the same itunes account I use at home. When I open itunes at home, I only see the two songs I have purchased at home. Once I buy a song, shouldn't I be able to access it on both computers? Do the songs get saved to my account on only the computer used to make the purchase? Thank You for your help...not crazy about itunes support. Danielle C.

    To transfer, I would just save the songs to a folder and send them to my other computer for download?
    Right-click an item, locate it, copy that file as well as any others in the same area of the hard disk to the new computer, and then drag them into the open iTunes window. Alternatively, back up the library to CDs or DVDs and restore the backup on the other computer.

  • Duplicating purchased music on two computers?

    I use two computers and sometimes I purchase music from the iTunes Store using one or the other. But, the music I purchased on one computer doesn't show up on the other computer and visa a versa. Is there a method of showing all the music I've purchased on both computers no matter what computer it was originally purchased on?

    Downloaded music will only appear on the computer used for the download. To get these files on your other computer you have to physically install the files on the computer (unless you have a shared network storage drive). To move the songs between computers, I would use an USB flash drive, copy the file to this drive and then copy it into iTunes on the other computer (Edit > Add File). Make sure you physically copy the file to the other computer and not just the path to the song on the flash drive. You can then authorize the computer to play these songs. (iTunes allows you to authorize up to five computers to play your purchased music.)
    If you'd prefer to import an unprotected file, you can burn the purchased music to a CD and then just rip it into iTunes on your other computer.

  • Having Purchased Music on two Computers?

    ****,
    I have a Toshiba laptop, running WinXP, I use for work and a Dell XPS desktop, running WinXP, I use at home.
    All of my purchased music is on the desktop. Is there an easy way to export my library to the laptop? I would like both computers to have the identical library.
    Thanks

    The simplest thing to do would be to network the two computers and transfer your iTunes folder from one to another. Here are a few links that may help you out:

  • Sync purchased content between two computers

    Is there an easy way to sync the purchased content between 2 computers. I have a MacBookPro that I travel with, and I buy music and videos to travel. Desktop has all of my music, how do I get the purchased content to show in the purchased tab of my desktops itunes.

    Hey there!
    You can sync your items from one computer to the other by going to System Preferences > .Mac > and from then do all the processing involved that the Mac tells you to do.
    You can select some specific data to sync to your other computer (if for some reason you did not want your computers to share the same data). For your music to sync, check "Music" in the list of sync-able data (with the green old version of the iTunes logo).
    Once you have completed everything, go to your other computer and allow your music to transfer. Just remember that you can only do that sync-allow process with five other computers, it's a rule.

  • HT1325 Problems with purchased songs and new computers

    I have a new computer; my first mac. I am an apple convert, previously owning a toshiba. Some of the songs from an album I purchased through itunes will not play. What do I do? They have an ! with a circle around it next to them. I do not have a hardcopy or backup to revert back to. I just want to know how to be able to play these songs and listen to them as I have purchased the right to do so.

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be redownloaded in all countries) then you might be able to redownoad it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
    If it shows there but doesn't have the cloud symbol against it then try deleting it from the Music part of your library (where you are getting the exclamation mark) and it should then get the cloud symbol in Purchased for redownloading.
    If music shows there but not that album then is it still in your country's store ? If it is then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    If you aren't in a country where music can be redownloaded or if it'sno longer in your country's store then you won't be able to redownload it.
    But you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your downloads, an item can be removed from the store at any time - you are only guaranteed one download of each item.

  • Play my songs on two computers using remote

    Here is the skinny. I have music (public domain) for my students (K teacher) plus my own music in my library at home. It all syncs with my iphone. Works well.
    Now school is starting. And with the new version 2.0 software I've found and LOVE the REMOTE program.
    I'd like to be able to play my music at school through a workstation in the corner of the room, using REMOTE.
    Questions:
    1) I put itunes on a computer in my classroom. When I put my iphone on the computer it synced my photos to teh computer but said if I continued it would erase my library on the phone and replace it with the blank library. It appears to be saying I can have my library only on one computer. I think.
    2) I don't care if the info is duplicated. I don't need it to be although that would be nice. The real questions are ...
    2a) Can I have a library at school with the music for my kids and a separate one at home for me, and then sync to the separate libraries?
    2b) Can I control the speakers on my school computer thru itunes there as well as the speakers on my home computer thru itunes there? I'm assuming the music that REMOTE plays must reside on teh computer it is syncing to and it isn't just sent from the iphone thru a 'feed'.
    I suppose a more round-about way fo asking this might be this. If I came to your house and turned on remote would it allow me to play your itunes music through your speakers (assuming you put my access code into your puter)?
    Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if this was too much info. I'm a newbie and this my first post. I've searched for hours but found nothing. It might be that REMOTE is just that new. Or I'm looking in the wrong place. I'm not sure. I can't imagine there aren't thousands of people who want to play their music thru speakers both at home and work .... so????

  • Music on two computers

    Hi there! My daughter has the nano, and has purchased songs on two different computers. The problem is that when she uses one of the computers, it deletes the songs from the other computer. Is there a way to stop that, or better, just load the songs onto both computers? Can I backup the songs to a disc and bring it over? I just don't want to delete any purchased songs. Thanks for the help!!!!

  • Syncing podcasts on two computers

    Is there anyway to sync podcasts on two computers without download them twice? I have an iMac, a Macbook, and an iPhone. I'd like to be able to download recent podcasts to either computer and have them show up on both computers so I don't have to worry about which computer I sync my iPhone with. I have 'Home Sharing' turned on, but it doesn't seem to help.
    Sorry for the convoluted question. I hope it makes sense.

    If they are purchased songs and both computers are the same i.e. both Mac or both PC, then you should be able to hook up the iPod to one, turn off auto sync and manually manage music. Add the purchased songs to the iPod and next time you hook the iPod up to the first computer it will ask if you want to transfer purchased music not on that computer. Do that, then you can turn auto sync back on without losing everything.
    Another way to go is to make a CD/DVD back up of your purchases and then use that to transfer everything to one computer. You might want to do this anyway so there is less a chance of losing all your purchases.

  • HT201272 My computer is authorized, my database was corrupted, I went to download previous purchased songs. I can find them, under the purchased link, it will not let me download,  To the right it says downloaded in grey and does not give me a choice. Wha

    Can't DL previous purchased songs on authorized computer

    If you still have the entries for the songs in your iTunes library (even if the actual music files no longer exist), then iTunes assumes that you already have them and that there is no need to re-download them - try deleting the entry for one of them from iTunes and then try re-downloading it, and if it works then do the same for the others

  • 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

  • Sync songs & videos on two computers?

    All of my iTunes songs are currently on my desktop computer (Windows XP). I'd like to be able to play them on my laptop computer (Windows Vista) also. Is there a way to sync the songs on the two computers? I'd like to avoid having to burn a lot of CDs if at all possible - I have a lot of songs! I'd like to be able to view my videos on my laptop also...
    Thanks in advance!

    I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?

    You can transfer iTunes content from an iTunes library on a single computer only.
    Since these songs were purchased with the same iTunes account, you can download the song that is not in your iTunes library on the computer you will be syncing your iPhone with. Or you can download the song or songs direct on your iPhone.
