Sorting Music from 2 different Itune accounts in 1 Library??

I have music from 2 different i-tunes accounts co-mingled in one library on one of my laptops - I'm not exactly sure how that happened - maybe trying to synch the wrong ipod to the wrong computer? Is there easy way to sort a library by user-account name so I can delete the tracks the computer is not authorized to play? It's tedious to go through the library album-by-album/song-by-song and delete them individually. Thanks!!

My mac mini has more music on than will fit onto my macbook, I do loads of audio editing for post production and have a big part of my sound library on there. And yes, I know the other solution would be to put all of my music on the mac mini, but that's at my office so then I can't use the iPhone with the macbook at home.  And, I don't want to have to take one of my computers to work or vice-versa just to solve this problem.  Anyway, the question is not 'how do I get the music onto my iPhone'.  I just wanted to know if there was any way I could use my iPhone with both of my macs but it seems the answer is no.  As I said, I'll be returning to an android phone as soon as someone buys this crappy iPhone 5c on ebay and then I won't have the problem anymore
As for anti-piracy?????  It is so ridiculously easy to pirate music despite this bizarre system where you can't use 3 bits of technology made by the same company, together?  I would have thought it's more to do with encouraging people to buy their music from the iTunes store rather than other sources.  Maybe I'm just a cynic.....
Have you considered an external hard drive?  Also, if you don't like the Apple procedure, then tell Apple: https://www.apple.com/feedback/

    How do I transfer music from different iTunes accounts on different computers?

    Move the song files to the desired computer and then either drag them into the library in the open iTunes application window or the Automatically Add to iTunes folder. If this would cause the single library to have content from more than five Apple IDs, you may not be able to sync it to an iPod or iOS device.

  • Transfering music from different itunes accounts with different ids...

    I am trying to transfer music from one itunes account, set up on old computer to a new itunes account set up on new computer. The problem is it is two different ids.  How can I transfer all of my older music to this new account?

    You cannot transfer music from one acount to another.
    However you can authorise the 2nd computer to play the other id music
    Ctrl B to show top menu
    Store > Authorise this computer...
    Then you can copy the music over to your itunes and it will play on your machine

  • How do I share music from different itunes accounts in the same Mac, in different users account on that Mac with different iPhones?

    Hi
    My wife and I share the same Mac.
    She has her session and I have mine thus each of us has our iTunes session with our own music and settings.
    She has her iTunes account and I have mine too.
    And..;)...she has her Iphone and of course I also have mine.
    So, the big question:
    Both like music that the other has bought but we do not want to buy it twice! (through her account and mine).
    Is there a way to share music I purchase so she can have it in her iTunes session and therefore have it also on her iPhone when she syncs..and of course viceversa for me too?
    It goes without saying that although we like music the other one has, we do not like all of the music, so basically we want to have the possibility to share those special songs we like so we can have them both in our phones and individual Itunes sessions.
    Was that clear or I lost you???
    Any answer will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    First of all if you havent done it yet i think u shold authorize the mac on both accounts on itunes. You also can switch the accounts on your Iphones at itunes while you are in the internet adn download the music.
    This is just an idea you should think of. For sure there are other ways I dont know.

  • HT2688 how to transfer music from my itunes account to my husbands new iphone

    I have an existing itunes account which my husband had purchased music on and now he has a new iphone and, of course, his own itunes account.  I have synced but have only managed to download all his apps to my computer...but he still has no music.  I have turned on the home share but still hasn't worked.  when I've looked online for assistance it says to "turn on the settings for iphone>settings>ipod... well has has no ipod (other than nike + ipod), so I went to settings>music>and signed in to home sharing with his own account ID and PW.... any body have a solution?

    I'm confused.
    You don't transfer music from an iTunes account. You transfer it from an iTunes library. Plug in the phone and sync it.

    Okay.
    I have synced but have only managed to download all his apps to my computer...but he still has no music.
    You have sync'd your iPhone or his iPhone?
    I have turned on the home share but still hasn't worked
    Are you trying to Home Share between different computers?
    Or between iTunes libraries on the same computer?
    Are you using the same computer? Different computers?
    Are you using the same computer login or do you each have your own?
    If he purchased music previously on your account, is this music in your iTunes library? His iTunes library? Is there only one iTunes library?

  • Hi - I've brought the new iphone 5 but can't download my music from my itunes account even though I have the latest version (10.7). All i can see is that my account is not showing the iphone 5 as a 'managed device' and i dont know how to get this added ?

    Hi - I've brought my iphone 5 but cant seem to download my music from my itunes account onto it. I've downloaded the latest version of itunes as i heard this could be a problem but still no joy. The phone tries to sync when i plug it all in to the pc and even has the capacity bar showing about 12gb of audio but there is still nothing downloaded onto the phone.
    The only thing i can see that might be causing the problem is that when i go into my itunes account it doesn't show that the iphone 5 is an option is the 'managed device' section but i dont know how i can add the new iphone 5 to this....
    Can anyone please advise me on what to do ?
    Many thanks !

    How do I delete music from my iTunes account?

    Hello tadjellis,
    It sounds like you have purchases in your iTunes library you no longer want or want to see. You can hide the purchases with your iTunes account settings, and this article will help you:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4919
    Use iTunes on a Mac or PC to hide or unhide your purchases.
    To hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking on Music, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from top.
    Hover your cursor over the item you want to hide.
    You will see an "X" either to the right or left top corner of the item.
    Click the "X" to hide that item. A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the "X."
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

    Iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time.  If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

  • How do i upload music from my itunes account to my iphone ?

    how do i upload music from my itunes account to my iphone ?

    Hi viper1997,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    There are two ways to get music onto your iPhone.  If you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, you can setup manual syncing so that you transfer the playlists, artists or albums that you want on your iPhone.
    You can also download music you've already purchased from the iTunes store to your iPhone at any time.
    The following links will provide additional information to get you started.   You don't mention what computer you are using, so I'll assume a Mac for now, as the basics are the same.
    The iPhone User Guide is a good place to start:
