Sharing music btwn two separate computers

hi i have a computer with my itunes library and the internet. my brother has a computer that is not connected on a network where he has his itunes for his nano. neither of us have burners. how would we share music?

I think you may need an internet connection to do this. The first time you try to play a protected Apple song file it will open a box asking if you want to authorize the computer. You can authorize up to five computers--so if you're only using your computer, you've got four more outlets available. If there's any way to get your brother's computer hooked up to the internet just to get it authorized, you will have to do this. If you can't authorize the computer, then you won't be able to play protected files (anything you download from iTunes). Any music you rip to the computer from your own CDs will work on both computers with no problem.

  • I have two separate iTunes libraries on two separate Computers. I need to consolidate them so I can play them on a brand new computer. How do I do this so I can play them off an External Hard Drive on my brand new computer?

    Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
    At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.

  • HT5177 How can two people edit the same FCPX file? One company, so both people/computers share the same license. Example: I work on revision A and my boss takes it and makes revision B and gives it back to me using two separate computers.

    Have the project, events and media on one drive which is common to both macs.
    You can download FCP X to both macs using the same Apple ID that it was purchased with.

  • Is it possible to use Time Machine with an external hard drive for two separate computers?

    I'm looking to purchase an external hard drive to use as with time machine as a backup for two separate computers.  I'm not sure if I should buy 2 EHDs and dedicate one to each computer, or if Time Machine has the capacity to back up both computers separately.  Anyone have any experience with this?
    Thanks!

    You can make two partitions on a single drive and dedicate one to each computer.
    The pic is of a single external usb drive with three partitions( a Time Machine and two image backups) for two computers

    Can I use two separate computers with the same adobe ID.  I want to update my kobo from either unit

    I doubt it is possible to run two instances of iTunes on the computer at the same time.  To do so would require two users to be signed in and running iTunes under each user.
    The better solution would be to either clean up and merge the two libraries or have iTunes running on a second computer.

  • Can two users on two separate computers share their screens?

    I often conduct training sessions and demos in a conference room with a large monitor mounted on the wall. I often have remote participants, so I use Lync or Live Meeting, along with a dial-in number for the audio.
    Lately I've been wanting to share not just my screen, but also another participant's screen, so I can demonstrate what's happening at both my end and at the participant's end.
    This is not the same thing as sharing two monitors connected to the same computer. This is sharing two separate monitors connected to two different computers, both of them using Lync.
    Is this possible? If so, how?

    Lync will use the MCU fro your conference. You will be able to show both screens but not at the same time.
    You can only show a screen from one presenter at the same time and you have to switch to the other presenter.

  • ITunes for Windows freezes when importing a library. I have a large but not huge library of mostly iTunes purchased music on two authorized computers and would like to sync the files, export the library as a playlist, and import it on the other computer.

    I am running iTunes for Windows 10.2.2 on Windows 7 Home. I have my iTunes library on both this computer and another authorized machine running Windows 7 Professional. I have a large but not enormous library, as I'm one of those people who doesn't pirate, use torrents, borrow from a dozen friends, or whatever other shades of gray you might imagine. It's mostly iTunes purchases with my old CD collection imported. I have started using the following technique to sync my libraries between my two authorized computers, an ability which you can probably all agree should one day be added to iTunes -- that would be different from Home Sharing, because the music would be stored locally and thus available on the road. With the added benefit of the entire library being backed up on the other machine in real-time. Anyway, when I switch from my desktop to laptop and vice versa, I use the following technique:
    Connect both machines to the home network. One machine is the "Active" machine, which has most recently been used for iTunes media, purchases, ratings, etc.
    On the "Active" machine, File-->Library-->Export. Save the file as "Library.xml" on the shared drive of the other machine.
    Right-click "Library.xml" where it's been saved, and open another file that has two lines in it: The root path of the iTunes library on one machine and the root path of the iTunes library on the other machine.
    Do a find/replace all in Notepad to make the library XML file point to where the files will be saved on the "Inactive" machine.
    Run Microsoft SyncToy to synchronize the files between both music libraries; the most recent files win. This avoids copying the entire multi-gigabyte library over the network.
    Open iTunes on the "Inactive" machine.
    Go to Music, Select All, Delete. Keep files.
    Do the same for Movies, Music Videos.
    Go down to Playlists, select the top one, hold down the delete button until they're all gone.
    File-->Library-->Import Playlist. Choose the "Library.xml" file you saved.
    First a status bar comes up that says, "Importing library." It has the continually-scrolling progress bar, not the one that starts on the left and steadily creeps right. Then after about 30 seconds, that clears out. Wait. Typically a few minutes. Eventually a status bar will pop up saying something like, "Evaluating gapless playback information," or something like that.
    The "Inactive" computer is now the "Active" computer. I can now play my library, it has all my playlists and metadata from the other machine.
    Delete all the duplicate playlists named "Music," "Genius," "Purchased," and "iTunes DJ."
    Well, I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2.2 a few days ago and tried to do this again like I've done it dozens of times before. Now, iTunes just goes unresponsive after the library import. It got through the "Importing library" bar to the long wait and stopped. I can still multiprocess and use other programs, but iTunes is hovering back there not responding to clicks. Task Manager doesn't seem to think iTunes is using my CPU, and I don't see my hard drive rattling. Any thoughts on why iTunes might hang up when importing a large library?
    ... Also, please help lobby Apple to come up with a network sync tool built into iTunes for a user with multiple authorized computers. Something different than Home Sharing so I can pull my laptop off the network and still have the synced library with me. And all my metadata changes will sync. The technique I use seems a little kludgey, don't you think?

    iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).

  • Confused about sharing music between two ipods

    I have a 30GB ipod video, and I bought my husband an 8GB nano for Christmas. I have been searching the threads trying to figure out how we can share music, but I seem to get conflicting information. I understand how to create separate libraries and I think I understand how to allow him access to my library (move itunes music folder into public folder?) but am still unclear about sharing music between ipods. Because in some of the posts, I have read that while you can share music and listen to it via multiple itunes libraries, you can ONLY listen to it on the computer--you cannot get it onto another ipod due to anti-piracy measures.
    I know I could create a playlist for him in my library, but I like to autosync my ipod and I don't really want his music on mine, because the songs we BOTH like I've already imported into my itunes library. I was hoping to set up a separate library for him, import my music files into it, then let him delete the artists he's not interested in and add the music he wants that I don't. But I don't want to go through all that if he won't be able to play the shared songs on his own ipod.
    I hope all this makes sense. Can someone who shares songs in this way give me some advice? Again, I would like for us to maintain separate libraries but I would like to make mine available to him so he doesn't have to reimport all the CDs I've already imported (and I don't want to waste computer space by having multiple copies of the same songs).
    Any help would be appreciated!

    I know I could create a playlist for him in my library, but I like to autosync my ipod and I don't really want his music on mine, because the songs we BOTH like I've already imported into my itunes library.
    Ver easy to accomplish.
    I have one library, two 4GB iPods and ~20GB of music.
    Rather than duplicating libraries or creating separate user accounts/sharing music you can't load, etc. which simply takes up space on the disk drive, use the same library and use sync only what you want.
    Create playlist(s) of your own music from the library.
    Add/remove from those playlists as you want.
    Connect your iPod, select it in iTunes and select the Music tab.
    Select Sync music, Sync selected playlists and choose what you want.
    The way I do it is I create a main playlist (Chris's Music) of music in the library that I like.
    I also create a smart playlist (Not Chris's Music) and set it to Match Rule - Playlist is not Chris's Music.
    This helps to manage my music by showing all music not in main playlist so I can browse for music I may have missed or now want to add.
    I do the same for my daughters iPod except she gets to pick her own stuff.
    This way whenever any music is added by either of us, it is available to the other with no problems.

  • Sharing music from two different iTunes accounts

    I have an iTunes account with purchased music which is shared across two users on my home iMac.  We can download music to various ipods with our own playlists because each user has their own login on the iMac.
    With a new iPad mini, one user will be adding apps and potentially new music choices and will pay for it separately.  With a separate iTunes account, how will those purchases syncronize back to the iMac?
    Will (or can) new music purchased on the mini be loaded into the Shared Music folder upon syncing?

    If you mean iTunes Store accounts, there's really nothing for you to do. Just add the tracks to the iTunes library and play them. Music purchased prior to late-2009 will been to be authorized, though. Pull down Store > Authorize... and type the credentials of the Apple ID used to buy the tracks.
    If you mean something else, please describe in more detail.

  • I bought iTunes music on two separate iTunes accounts. How do I merge them into the SAME library?

    I just got a new computer, so I am setting up my iTunes. The problem is, I have purchased music from iTunes on two separate accounts. I remember there was a reason why I created the second account several years ago, but I can't remember what the reason was.
    Anyway, I would like to merge these two accounts into ONE library. I know on the old iTunes I just signed in to one account, it automatically loaded my music into the library, I signed out of that account, signed into the OTHER account, and then it automatically loaded the music from THAT account into the library, so I had both. However, it doesn't seem as if you can do this on the new iTunes.
    Is there any way I can merge the two accounts or am I screwed?

    Where is all of the music now?
    Just copy it all to the same computer.

  • Sharing data between two separate user sessions

    Hi all!
    I have been trawling my brain for a solution to this - any help will be appreciated!
    I would like to create a single instance of a class but share that instance over more than one user session (two separate users but both running concurrently).
    Just as you can pass data between sessions using ABAP memory - I would like to pass data (specifically an object reference) between two separate users that could even be logged in to two separate application servers...
    Even a mini Client/server solution would suffice but I cannot figure one out!
    Is this possible?
    Many thanks for your thoughts in advance...
    N

    Hello N K,
    sorry thats not possible. Sharing a data item / object instance requires at least a common physical memory. As this is not guaranteed between different app. server this is technical not possible.
    With release 640 ABAP offers the new feature Shared Objects. These mechanism allows access by different users and some propagation to differnt servers.There is an interesting article on the ABAP SDN homepage
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/abap.sdn
    For relases below more or less the database is the only chance to store data accross application servers (known to me). One exception might be the ENQUEUES which might (mis)used to store some Flags.
    Kind Regards
    Klaus

  • How do I Sync my itunes music between two different computers

    Can anyone tell me the step-by-step instructions for how to Sync my itunes music between two different computer.... one Mac at work and a second at home. I want to bring over all my work music onto my home Mac, some of which is the same but much of it is different.

    Are you able to connect the two computers in any way? For instance is the work computer a laptop that you can bring home and network with your personal one? If the two devices are connected in some away there are a few utilities that can help you sync iTunes across different computers. You could begin your research by having a look at these for instance:
    TuneRanger
    SuperSync
    syncOtunes
