Sharing music from laptop to Imac duplicates in library

Everytime my daughter or wife download music to laptop then I update library on Imac it duplicates the whole library again. I just got rid of exact duplicates on Imac, so now my question is how do I transfer between the two with out transfering the whole library again and duplicating files?
Thank you in advance

However, there may be some fixes in that latest
update mentioned by btabz that may help!
That's what I was thinking
Also, shouldn't shared music be an option even if there is no shared music available?

    drag them into itunes or chose file menu and add to lib and navigate to the songs
    and when in the itunes lib you sync them like any other itune media
    if you have problems syncing general media too then
    try google
    sync music to ipad it should give you tons of guides both youtube and text guides

    Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
    Start iTunes on your computer. Go to the view menu and select View > Show Sidebar.
    Connect your iPad to your computer.
    Select your iPad in the left column.
    Select Music in the right side of iTunes.
    Then make selections to either select all music or select the playlists you want on your iPad.
    Then click on Apply or Sync in the lower right corner of iTunes.

  • Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

    Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

    Thanks for the interest. Preferences are similar on both machines: screen sharing, file sharing, printer sharing & scanner sharing all ticked and radio button for Screen Sharing is ON.
    My confusion is that I can get a network connection to the iMac by selecting "go to server" on the PowerMac running 10.5.8 but am unable to make the iMac connect to the PowerMac using similar selections. When ethernet cable is plugged in the PowerMac shows up on the finder bar on the iMac, but it does not allow either screen sharing or connection to occur - a dialog box tells me to check System Prefs and Network connection.
    I'm hoping to export a large file of photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my wife's PowerMac and hoped to achieve this with an ethernet network connection.

  • READ THIS : WHY IN GODS NAME CAN I NOT TRANSFER MY MUSIC FROM IPAD TO MY NEW ITUNES LIBRARY? .

    My old laptop got a virus which im still annoyed enough about. So i obviously got a new laptop, which also meens a new itunes library with nothing on it. I now have 3000 songs on my ipad and as i have lost my old itunes library my new one has nothing on. ive been trying for some time now to transfer my music from my ipad to my itunes library with out loosing anything. i do not want to loose all my music as it will take absoloutly ages to put them all on my ipad again. IF YOU HAD A HEART YOU WOULD HELP

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just this reason.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipad.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • I got a new computer and some of my music apparently wasn't backed up to the external hard drive.  I have some of the music that didn't save on an iphone. How do I move the music from the iPhone into my iTunes library on the computer?

    I got a new computer and somehow have lost some of my more recently purchased and or imported music.  I have some of that music on an iphone and some on an ipad.  How do I get the music from those devices into my itunes library without losing everything else?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • It's no longer possible to add music from my computer to my iTunes library, It's no longer possible to add music from my computer to my iTunes library

    Problem: I can't add any music from my computer to my itunes library anymore!
    Hey there!
    As I explained above, I can't add any music from my computer to my itunes mediacentre since one week. There is no error indication or any other message in which it is mentioned that the music I tried to add has not been added. It is just not in my library.
    Even if I delete some music it is not possible to add music.
    I just downloaded the new itunes in hope that the problem would be solved, but there is no change.
    Perhaps you can help me!
    That would be great!
    Thanks..

    Ok so you are saying that if I had photos stored there, I would have had an account. By the fact the site said it cannot create one, means I could not have photos there. That is how you can say with certainty that people in that position have no photos stored.  It's that correct?  If so, thank you for the clarification.
    Also I originally sent this answer as a reply to your email above, but it came back as:
    <[email protected]>:

    even tho it said in the email that I could reply or post a response.  Just wanted you to know.

  • I cannot add music from my computer onto my itunes library.

    I cannot add music from my computer onto my itunes library. I have tried dragging the songs, importing them, going to Add files and Add folders, copy and pasting. They just won't turn up in my itunes library.

    You don't say where you are having problems.  The best answer will depend upon what exactly you are trying to do.  If you are trying to add one or two files, copy them to a flash drive, then drag them from the drive to an iTunes playlist.  If you are trying to move your whole library that requires a different answer.
    Note .wma files will work with iTunes on a PC but cannot be added to a Mac iTunes.  Convert them to another format on the PC first (but I don't think you can do that if they are protected format).
