Transfer music from work computer to home computer

I have dial up (dsl unavailable) on my system at home. It takes 15+ minutes to download one song purchased on iTunes. I can download a song in 10 - 15 seconds at work. Is it possible to put the songs I've purchased and downloaded at work onto a flash drive and transfer them back to my home computer. I've tried the share file between networks, but I work for a very well known company who's firewall protection doesn't allow any network sharing between non company computers. Am I simply stuck with the slow downloads? Thanks in advance.

sure, if i understand the question right. this is the only question i really know how to answer. if you have an ipod (which this whole plan hangs on), update it at work. then go home and download one small program: yamipod (google search it.) close itunes at home, attach your ipod, and open yamipod. the program can take the music from your ipod and put it onto your itunes library or your hardrive wheresoever you please. you can also do the flashdrive thing, if you don't have an ipod, but depending on how much music you have, that might take a while. if you know where your music is stored on the computer, just go to that folder. if not, do start, search, and type a song name. once it's found, right click the name and select "open containing folder." then open "my computer" on the desktop or start menu, select the flashdrive, and copy the music files, which should all be in that one location, to the flashdrive.
in terms of the ipod thing, though, you have to download the program, because itunes tries to block sharing of music through ipods.
hope that's helpful

  • How do I transfer music from work computer to Home?

    My main iTunes library is located at home. Every day I go to work, plug my Nano into my work computer connect to iTunes and listen to music from my Nano.
    Here's my problem. I like to download free songs of the week from iTunes to my computer at work. How do I move these downloaded songs to my computer at home? Thanks.

    You could try to take them off your Nano--it's a little harder to move files from an iPod onto a computer but it can be done. I can't help you with this, I don't know how to do it, but if you search these forums there are lots of threads about how to do this.
    To put a song file on a jump drive, open your iTunes folder (I assume this is where the file will be located) find the file folder for the artist you downloaded, then the album the song was on, and finally the song. Copy this to the jump drive.
    Then, you'll need to copy this file to your home computer. Just reverse the steps. In your iTunes folder, make a folder for the artist, then one for the album, finally copy the song into this folder. Next, in iTunes, go to File > Add File to Library and navigate to this song file. When you click on the song for the first time to play it, you'll get a popup box asking if you want to authorize your computer to play the song. (You can authorize up to five computers to play downloaded songs--so make sure you're under this limit.)
    That should do it.

  • Im trying to transfer music from my computer itunes to my iphone

    Im trying to transfer music from my computer itunes to my iphone and ipod touch. i enabled home sharing but still cant figure it out.

    Homesharing has nothing to do with syncing content to devices.
    Connect the device to the computer.
    Select the content desired to sync.
    Then sync.
    This is covered in the User's Guide, might be a good idea to read it.

  • Can I transfer music from my computer to ipad?

    Before I buy an iPad, I have some questions. Sorry if I sound dumb, but I've not had a tablet before.
    Can I transfer music from my computer to my ipad? I do not plan to purchase itunes.
    Can I download apps like kindle and nook to get books from my local library and other sources?
    Can I get a pdf reader app so I can download them to my ipad?
    Can I put movies on my ipad from my computer?
    Thanks.

    You can sync music and other content to an iPad via your computer's iTunes (a free download from here) - you don't have to purchase anything in order to use the program. You can buy music from Apple, from other sites and/or copy your own CDs via iTunes, and then sync them to the iPad via iTunes.

    I don't know what country that you are in, but there is a Kindle app available for the iPad in a number of countries (the app is free) which can be linked to your Amazon account so you can download your kindle ebooks into it. There are also Nook and Kobo ereader apps.
    There are also a number of PDF reader apps for the iPad, some of them free like Apple's iBooks and Adobe Reader, and some which are paid-for which are more powerful e.g. GoodReader.
    Films can be purchased from Apple, or there are other sites such as Netflix with their own apps. The iPad natively supports a number of video formats (they are listed on this page).
    There is a manual for the iPad here which has some info on it's built-in apps (plus iBooks which is a free download) : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/
