Sync iTunes on two macs with iCloud

I have two iMacs, both with iTunes. How do I combine/sync both music libraries.
Both computers share the same account.
Thanks in advance.

iTunes: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
Though it refers to items purchased from the iTunes Store, it applies to all your tracks and videos. And if you happen to also own an iPod:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
To keep them synchronized in the future, you'll either have to copy the new tracks manually per the procedure above or use one the available synchronization utilities such as TuneRanger.

  • Syncing iTunes between two macs, possible?

    Hi,
    A feature I really miss is the possibility to sync my iTunes music between two computers.
    For instance, If I buy one song on Mac1 it syncs with Mac2, with just a few mouseclicks or so.
    Right now it can be quite chaotic to keep track of both libraries, and would be nice with a program or a feature that can update the libraries easy, not matter if i'm deleting songs, adding, changing location, and so on.
    Is this possible some how?
    Thanks in advance

    There are a few utilities specifically designed to help you sync iTunes across different computers. You could begin your research by having a look at these for instance:
    TuneRanger
    SuperSync
    syncOtunes

    Yes you can but they both must be running Lion v10.7.2 at the minimum and requires a Wi-Fi network.

    Why WiFi? it works with any internet connection, wired or wireless.

  • Sync itunes between two pcs with ethernet

    Is it possible to sync my ITunes library between two Win7 PCs with an ethernet cable ? I use this method to sync my files (share everything on my laptop, then use SyncBackSE).  I would be good if I could do this as it would avoid a lot of podcast duplicate downloading.
    Thanks

    C'mon guys, I'm talking about two PCs both authorized on the same Apple ID, not a separate unauthorized PC.

  • Syncronize two Macs with iTunes

    Hi people,
    anybody here, who knows if it is possible to synchronize the songs and playlists in iTunes on two Macs? I have a Power Mac G5 running in my office (sometimes downloading songs here) and an iBook G4 (sometimes downloading there) and it really annoys me, to make a TextEdit file or anything to copy the downloaded songs manually. Is there a feature who provides that kind of Synchronization?

    Dirk:
    Unfortunately, there isn't an automatic way to sync your two library.
    If it's just a matter of capturing music and playlists that you've added, you can always export either the specific playlists (iTunes>>File>>Export Song List) or the entire iTunes Library (iTunes>>File>>Export Library) to .xml files, then transfer them (by email or network connection) to the other computer, and bring them into iTunes via the Import command (iTunes>>File>>Import).
    If you want to sync up your metadata (playcounts, date played, etc), there isn't anything that will merge the contents of the two libraries into a single unified file.

  • Cannot sync mac with icloud

    I cannot sync my mac with icloud. I believe I should go to ical preferences and add an account, right? There is no "icloud" menu choice --  only mobilme which is dead.
    I have ical version 4.04 and Mac OS X 10.6.8. Everything I run tells me my software is up-to-date but I seem to see an updated version of ical out there -- 5.0.1 which I would think would have the choice to add an icloud account.
    What to do? If all it takes is updating ical, why doesn't it do that when the system is checking itself for updates? Where would I go to download the newest version of ical?

    Why would apple make Snow Leapord obselete for syncing information? I wanted to wait to upgrade to Lion until a later build, but now, my contacts, calender, mail, etc... will not sync?
    This is really disappointing.
    I've read about using gmail and outlook to link accounts, but why would apple send me to a third party? I want to use apple to sync everything.
    They left Snow Leapord behind, and it's sad.
    please let me know if there is a fix planned for this, or if Lion is the only way going forward that I can use icloud's glorious syncing capabilities.

  • How do I sync iCal on my mac with OS 8 devices

    How do I sync iCal on my mac with OS 8 devices

    Hi jgiolma,
    Since you do not mention what version of the Mac operating system you are running on your MacBook Pro it is a little hard to answer your question. For computers running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later one way to sync your calendars would be to use iCloud. See this article for minimum system requirements for iCloud -
    System requirements for iCloud
    Information on using iCloud for your calendars can be found here -
    iCloud: Calendar overview and
    iCloud: Using iCloud Calendars with Calendar and iCal
    More general information about iCloud is available here -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Does anyone know if my G3S Iphone will sync Itunes on my MAC Power PC G4, OSI0.4.11?  If it will, what operting system does the Iphone need?

    My apologies, I read your post the wrong way. I see now that the original poster was confused about the specs and you were simply responding with the appropriate info.
    I've gotten defensive after reading the forums. The forums are full of posters just looking to prove someone wrong or stupid, rather than being helpful. I shouldn't have assumed you were one of those people. Sorry.
    I did my homework and discovered that my PowerPC will run Leopard. It can be purchased for $129 by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. This is much cheaper than replacing my laptop.
    I hope to upgrade my Mac soon, though! Can't believe this thing is still ticking. I love Apple.

  • Can you just sync playlists across 2 macs with identical libraries

    can you just sync playlists across 2 macs with identical libraries. i have done a carbon copy of my home mac itunes library to a work mac.  i'll then switch itunes match on on the home mac, and i am assumign i won't need to redownload everything to my work mac.   my question is though, is it possibnle to use itunes match to just sync playlists as really i dont want to have to upload my contetn to the cloud as its nearly all not goign to be on itunes match in the cloud (obscure stuff).  so if i keep libraries in sync myself, can i jsut use match to sync my playlists?
    cheers

    No you can't. Match is an all or nothing service.
    However, depending on the size of your library and your upload speeds, you may be surprised at how quickly the match/upload process takes, and by the amount of stuff that does match.
    Depending on how big an issue the subscription fee is to you, it may be worth giving it a go. I use match mainly to keep my iTunes libraries in sync and it is the solution that I've been looking for for years.

  • There has GOT to be a way to sync Entourage on one mac with Entourage on...

    There has GOT to be a way to sync Entourage on one mac with Entourage on another mac! So far, the only way I can find to keep my mail synced on two macs using Entourage is to kill the Daemon on one machine and copy over the contents of the Microsoft directory to the other machine, but this is NOT a sync, it's a replacement. This will not work if email has been exchanged on both machines before the copy can be done. So what are we supposed to do? Thx for any help on this perplexing problem.
    coocoo

    Wait, I'm confused. Chronosync is just a fancy filecopy no? I think i tried it once moons ago just for folder syncing. it worked, but i did not see much advantage of that over just dragging the files. It still won't sync the individual emails right? (ie. add new, leave old alone). But u say using an imap server will help there? I don't even know what that is, but I guess I can install it on one of my macs right? Or do I have to pay to subscribe to one (like mac.com or whatever that thing is)? not an option here in Nepal. Well thanks for ur help so far!
