Sharing libraries from different computers

i have two computers. i originally had itunes only on one pc. when i downloaded the program onto my other computer the only option i had is to completely erase my ipod to update it with the new library on the second computer. can anyone tell me how to combine the songs from my ipod to this new library so i can have all of my songs on both computers?

well, there is a way to take songs off an ipod and on to a computer but its tedious. I've done this with my 2nd generation but not with my 5th so it might not work anymore. You have to open the ipod for my computer and show hidden files. This allows you to see every song file on the ipod but..... they aren't in any specific order. On my old ipod, i had over 50 different folders housing nearly 1600 randomly placed songs. If you can find the one you want, just copy it to your computer.

  • Combining 4 iPods/libraries from different computers on 1 computer

    I need help! My wife and I purchased 2 iPod minis some time ago, and I set hers up on her laptop. I set mine up on my work computer. Now our two children have an iPod mini and a nano. I want to move everything (all libraries/songs) to one central computer in our house, so we all can share the library. All music in our respective libraries is our own (off of CDs), and we haven't downloaded any songs. Again, I need to be able to have all 4 iPods hooked up to 1 library on 1 computer! Thanks for any help.

    One way would be to use the actual iPods and remove the tracks from them to build one central iTunes. There are a number of third party utilities you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod. This is just a selection.

    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive posted in this thread: iPod to iTunes
    Keep your iPods in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return them to auto-sync if you wish.

  • Combining iPhoto libraries from different computers?

    Hi all!
    I have a question I could use some help on --
    I would like to import an iPhoto library from a friend's computer into my iPhoto library. Specifically, I want to add a iPhoto folder of hers containing a bunch of photos that are already labeled. Is that possible to do? I would normally just import the photos directly, except for the fact that she painstakingly already labeled/dated the photos in her iPhoto library and would hate to have to re-label everything.
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    A.P.

    Hi alexandra,
    I need to know more info about the folder of images.
    Is it just a folder of images she exported from her library? When you double click the folder to open it, what are the names of the images?
    Or is it instead a CD that mounts within iPhoto?

  • HT1473 I have two separate iTunes libraries on different computers and I would like to compact into one. But I cannot without completely erasing one of the libraries. How can I do this without deleting anything?

    Copy the content from one computer to another and import the media into iTunes.
    Any playlists, playcounts, etc on the computer the content is being moved from will be lost.

    As much as I hate to admit it, YOU ARE RIGHT!
    I will tread lightly on this project.

    No, Lightroom catalogs cannot be on a networked (shared) drive, and they do not support simultaneous multi-user access

  • How do i transmit shared libraries from one computer to apple tv?

    how do i transmit shared libraries from one computer to my apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The same way you share a non-shared library. If it isn't working check that you have the content checked in iTunes Preferences > general > Show.

  • Gathering documents from different computers?

    Im writing a project on about 100 pages, we are seven students writing it, and we are all contributim by writing from different computers using different writing programs. This means that I have to gather documents with different margins, spacings etc. when im finnishing the projekt.
    How can I make all margins, spacing etc. the same? And exactly what should I remember to change, in order to get the document to look like it was written from one computer?

    Well my first initial thought would be close to what you are describing, to gather all documents in one document, mark it all and start changeing, but what I want to make sure is to what settings I need to be aware of, are there other than margins, font, spacings? There are different spacings from when you hit enter to a new line to when you press the tabulator to indent a new line. Just clicking on the i button and then the T, alot of different settings comes up concerning different spacings, linings etc.

    Shared libraries from other people's libraries showing up permanently on MacBook Pro. And a lot of purchased and ripped songs vanished... Anyone...please help...?!?!

    Please any help would be greatly appreciated and any more questions welcome. Thanks

    Basically anything not purchased from iTunes that is on my iPhone 6 will not sync over to my MacBook. I have tried to just manually back it up but only the purchased music will sync over to iTunes.

  • Adobe Presenter: working from different computers transferring files

    I am using Adobe presenter. I need to work from home, so have copied my powerpoint and all its associated adobe presenter audio files from one location to another. I used to be able to do this without problems. However, it seems I'm no longer able to do it: I open powerpoint and go to the adobe presenter toolbar and try to record more audio and clearly the system shows no audio is associated with this file. Getting out of adobe presenter makes the system delete the folder with associated audio files (it seems it is not linking them properly, but still recognising them as adobe presenter audio files and deleting them as if to start recording from scratch).
    Can anyone help? how can I work on the same files from different computers without losing the data (or the links) in between? 
    Regards,
    Gabriel

    Hi folks
    One way to achieve this easily is by using DropBox. This will create a folder that you sync to the cloud. Then you create a Dropbox on the second computer and whatever you change and save is automatically updated and transferred to the other computer keeping them in sync. Works really well.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Sharing & Managing iTunes libraries from different countries

    Hi Everyone,
    I would like some help on sharing and managing content from different iTunes libraries from two difference countries please.
    I have:
    1 x iPod and its library from the UK (and its UK Apple ID)
    2 x iPhone 5's and their libraries from the US (and their US Apple ID's)
    I appreciate there are restrictions due to each country's laws so what I want may not work, however, ideally I want it so I can have all three of our libraries in one iTunes library and then both my wife and I can choose which songs we want on our iPhones and iPods.
    Does anyone know if this is possible?
    Any help much appreciated - cheers!

    Thanks Guys.
    What you said worked - cheers!
    The only thing that didn't was transferring my UK music to USA iPhone. Unless you know otherwise, I assume because I paid for UK music in UK, trying to then play it on a USA iPhone won't work......or is there a workaround?
    The fact I've paid for it legally in one country surely shouldn't be a problem playing it on a device?
    Or should I create a brand new Apple ID and library - would that help?
    Your help is much appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Y2J,
    The problem is much more likely to be the multiple Apple IDs than the multiple countries.  Do not start yet one more.
    If all the music is in one library located on your computer, but certain songs won't sync, pls post details of the problem and maybe someone here can help troubleshoot.
