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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • IPhone - purchased applications on two different computers

    Hi guys, I hope you can help:
    I have an iPhone 3G, and I have two macs that I use every day - home and work.
    For reasons too boring to go into detail here, I have accidentally purchased iPhone applications on both of my computers.
    I was wondering since I use the same iTunes account, is there anyway to merge my applications onto one iTunes?
    I have found ways to do contacts from one and music from another, but not applications from both?
    Is it an iTunes issue or an iPhone one?
    Thanks in advance...

    Applications would fall under the same rules as itunes content, such as music. It can only be synced to one machine at a time. You may be able to move the application via a flash drive to another authorized computer, not sure. I think you can download the application again(for free) to the other computer, as long as the itunes account is the same.

  • Downloading songs from two different computers?

    Can you just download music from another computer on you iphone or would that just mess everything up?

    The iphone can only download music from one computer at a time.
    If you connect the iphone to a second computer and download music, it will erase all the music from the first computer.
    However, if you have music on 2 computers that you wont to combine into one itunes music library, this article might help out.

    Also, if the music you want to combine is purchased music from the itunes music store, this article might help out.

  • HT2688 How to play same song of two different computers at the same time

    Hi I have turned on Home Sharing. So one computer can play music on another.  Is there any way to have one computer play what the other computer is playing at the same time.  Other than just starting the same song as close in time as possible on each computer.

    create an album of all of the photos you want to order, open the album, select all and order - be sure teh photos are cropped to the print size so unexpected cropping does not occur during the printing process

  • 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.

  • How can I transfer songs from two different itunes?

    I want to transfer songs from my brother's itunes library to my shuffle, but when I plug it in his computer, a message saying that his library is not linked to my library (or something to that extent) and whether I would like to replace the songs. If I click yes, all my existing songs are replaced with HIS songs. If I click on NO, the Shuffle icon does not appear at all and I cannot transfer any of his songs to my shuffle. How can I transfer songs from two different computers into my shuffle without replacing any of my existing music?
    Shuffle   Windows XP

    You'll have to setup your iPod to manual instead of automatic update (I'm not sure, though, if it works with the Shuffle as well).

  • How do you sync an iPhone to two different computers?

    I just got my iPhone and was adding music to it, but I have my music on two different computers, both of which I have songs I want to add to my iPhone. I was just wondering if there is a way to sync music from two different computers without having to transfer all my music to one computer?

    iTunes includes a backup to disc feature with an option to backup content purchased from the iTunes Music Store only or all iTunes content - burned to CD.
    You can do this and then transfer your backed up iTunes data to the other computer.
    The iPhone was not designed nor intended to be a backup device or a transfer device of iTunes content from one computer to another as Ansuz82 provided to prevent music piracy.
    It is always the few that would abuse such a feature if available that spoils it for the majority that wouldn't.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Synch Songs on 2 Different Computers- How

    I understand that you have to delete songs from your iTunes library and re-synch to get songs off your phone. However, I have a couple of questions here
    1. What if my PC crashes and I loose all data/ have to reinstall the OS [a not-so-remote scenario on windows OS]. Would it mean the next time I synch with iTunes [after OS reinstall], I have to create a new playlist, and the existing song on iPhone will be deleted
    2. Lets say i have a Computer at home and another at my workshop, and both do not carry essentially the same songs. Will this mean if I try to synch with iTunes on two different computers [w/o the same songs/ playlist in both] - what gets saved on to the iPhone from one computer gets deleted when synched to the other one?!

    1. What if my PC crashes and I loose all data/ have to reinstall the OS a not-so-remote scenario on windows OS. Would it mean the next time I synch with iTunes after OS reinstall, I have to create a new playlist, and the existing song on iPhone will be deleted
    Correct, unless you maintain a backup of your iTunes library along with all other important data. This no-so-remote scenario is one of the reasons why maintaining a backup of all your important data is so important. There are several reasons why maintaining a backup is important regardless the platform, but even more so with a Windows PC due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns.
    iTunes includes a backup option stored on CD media, but there are other options available.
    2. Lets say i have a Computer at home and another at my workshop, and both do not carry essentially the same songs. Will this mean if I try to synch with iTunes on two different computers w/o the same songs/ playlist in both - what gets saved on to the iPhone from one computer gets deleted when synched to the other one?!
    In regards to iTunes content and for photos transferred to an iPhone, an iPhone can be synced with iTunes on a single computer only. Contact information, calendar events, and bookmarks can be synced with multiple computers.
