Transfering between 2 computers through my ipod

i want to transfer songs to one of my computers to another through my ipod. is there a way i can do this? i try to drag the songs i want to the library, but you can't do that. i would really like to know if there is any possible way for me to do that. i would just use a cd, but that is the entire reason for transfering the songs...to burn a cd, b/c this computer does not have a cd burner in it....any info would be GREATLY appreciated!

If the songs are in your iPods library there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

You can also transfer song files (or any type of file for that matter) between computers by using the iPod as a removable drive: Using your iPod as a storage drive

hello.im not experienced in computer .but i tried this method nd found it very funny.....i used a program in the window called hyper terminal ..you can reach to it through start up then programs then accessories then communication then hyperterminal .....throuh this program you can connect two compuers only by phone......you will adjust the sender computer to {call} and the reciever computer to {wait for call} these option is present inside the program.....
in the sender computer you will choose the phone number of the receiving computer ...and vice versa {in the sender cmputer{client} you will type the phone number of the recieving computer {server} } excuse me .is this what you want...or im not understanding what is in your mind .....with best wishes for you

Slow (stop/start) transfers between networked computers

When I transfer large files from my 2007 iMac to my networked windows computer the file transfer hangs(doesnt transfer any data) for a few minutes, several times during the transfer. A file that usually takes 30 seconds (on tiger) can take 5 minutes as a result. Can be a real pain.
This problems occurs via both WIFI and ethernet cable. It doesnt happen all the time but most of the time.
Any solutions to this?

I am not having stop/start trouble but file transfers between external FW 400 drives seems a lot slower than in Tiger.

HT203167 My iTunes files aren't transferring between my computer and my iPod. Help?

I currently have my iTunes library synced to two different computers plus my iPod. All 3 of my libraries have a different amount of music files and I can't seem to be able to get them to match each other even though they are all signed into the sampe Apple ID. I turned on home sharing but i still can't sync all three libraries. Can anyone help?

Hi,
When you use you Apple ID account you can enter and verfy a couple of addresses, but the first address that you setup and use on your Apple ID becomes the primary address. This is the address that you need to use when using Apple ID on your devices. You can use the other address' that you have supplied to loggin but you sometimes get limited functionality for internet services if you mix address'. Mail is seperate from Apple ID and should not effect you email accounts.

Sharing iTunes library between 2 computers and 2 iPods via network disk?

Hi,
Me and the missus each got a laptop -hers a PC and mine a MacBook.
We both use iTunes and we've both got an iPod.
Recently I bought an Aiport Express and hooked it up with a 1TB WD MyBook -is there any way that we can share our iTunes library via the network disk, so that we can 1. have full read/write access from both laptops and 2. both sync our iPods?
Furthermore, is there a way for iTunes to monitor the music folder, so instead of me dragging music into iTunes (e.g. CD's that were ripped with other software than iTunes) iTunes would just update every once in a while, to check for new mp3's (kinda like Picasa does with pictures)?
More questions most likely will pop up, but this is the most pressing ones.
Thanks in advance

*is there a way for iTunes to monitor the music folder, so instead of me dragging music into iTunes*
iTunes doesn't support folder watching, anything you add to a folder on your hard drive has to be manually added to the iTunes Library: Adding Content to iTunes
You could have a look at this Applescript for folder watching on a Mac: Doug's Applescripts - Folder Actions and iTunes or this program for Windows: iTunes Folder Watch for Windows
You'd need to do a deeper bit of research on both as I don't know if either would work from a folder that's effectively not on either computer

I have just got an iPad and I want the music to be transferred through my iPod touch using iCloud but I didn't get the music from iTunes so I don't think it will let me do it. Do you have any tips that could help me?

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

Transferring songs between family computers

My wife and I each have an imac. I have transferred all of our cd's to my computer. Is there a simple way to copy those imported cd's to her computer as well? Can I copy my purchased songs to her imac? Will itunes import duplicates or is there a setting when importing?
Thanks for the help.

*Can I copy my purchased songs to her imac*
Yes, you can authorise up to five computers at any one time to play your purchases:

How to sync Contacts and Calendars between 2 computers and ipod?

I'm having difficulty syncing contacts on 2 computers and an iPod. Although I'm able to sync contacts from an iBook (G4/OS10.4) to an iPod Classic, when I attempt to sync the iPod to an empty address book on an Mac Pro (Intel/OS10.4) the synch goes the wrong way (and deletes the contacts on the iPod. What gives? Is there any way to sync the contacts on all 3 devices (iPod and 2 computers)? If so, how?
Same questions for Calendar...
Thanks.

As Julian points out, the present means of synchronization under Mac OS X 10.4 and later involves an entirely different technology than that originally used. You can read a technology brief here.
It has nothing at all to do with your perceived 'greed' on the part of Apple. Your iPod is essentially a read-only device, and cannot push changes back to the framework.
As he points out, there are third-party alternatives to explore, including multiuser packages of BusySync and the use of individual Google calendar accounts as intermediaries for single-user remote cross-platform synchronization.

Syncing iTunes libraries between 2 computers

Does anyone know how to sync iTunes between 2 computers? I have 2 macs in my home (one with an external drive that holds all of my music). I can get both computers to see and operate from the music files in a single location but I can't seem to figure out how to have any changes to my library, playlists, etc. made on one computer to automatically show up on the other in iTunes. Does this have something to do with the iTunes library.itl file?
If so, do I have to copy the iTunes library.itl file from the computer on which I have made the most recent changes and then delete this file from the other computer and drop the recently modified iTunes library.itl file into the music folder on the unmodified computer? Will this effectively sync both libraries? If so, is there a program that will automatically schedule this procedure for me. I am in the process of sorting through 5000+ duplicates (fun, I know) and I don't want to do it twice.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks guys. The shared music works fine but as noted in the second response, playlists, etc. are not available on both computers at the same time. I like jase's suggestion, but since I will only need to copy one iTunes library file & paste over another to keep both libraries in sync, I think that will be the way to go. I will give the alias library file a whirl because that may work fine since both computers can make changes. I do not have the concern of both computers using the files at the same time. Only one computer will every use it. My mac mini core duo is in with my theater rack stuff. Everything is played from there. My iMac G5 is at my desk. I just need them in sync because it is infinately easier to make changes sitting at a desk than it is with a keyboard and mouse on my lap on a couch from 15 feet away from the screen.
Thanks for the feedback.
Chris
P.S. - Has anyone heard of the bluetooth trackball called "The Ball" from Chwang Yi? I want to buy it, and the website claims to sell it - I just can't seem to find a single link leading to a purchase page of any kind. Any thoughts?

How to keep playlists in sync between two computers?

I have a MacBook Pro and a regular desktop Windows 7, and I have all of my music on both of them. However, I constantly keep adding new songs to different playlists all the time, and this makes it hard to keep everything in sync with both computers and my iPod because I usually sync from my Mac.
Right now I export the updated playlists on one of the computers and import it on the other, but it's quite the hassle just to keep some playlists in sync. I tried using home sharing, but it just keeps downloading duplicates everytime I try to import, I would've thought it was smarter by just adding the new songs but appearently it isn't.
So, anyways, is there any easy way for me to automatically keep playlists in sync between two computers?

I am indeed subscribed to iTunes Match. Are you saying that with Match, it will sync my playlists? I will have to check this when I get home. That would really be a nice surprise!
I sync my iPod to iTunes on my Windows 7 box, but use iTunes on my Mac for synching my iPhone 6 and iPad 2. Normally, I'd be modifying a playlist on the Win 7 box, adding or rearranging songs. However, occasionally, I might download a song to the iPhone while out and about. Then, when I'm back at the Mac, I'd do a sync and add that new song to one of the playlists. Should Match then be keeping the playlists on the two machines in sync?
As for the library replication, I had to do that when I first signed up for Match. I was WAY over the 25k song limit, so I made a copy of the library, and in that copy deleted enough songs to get me under the limit. Also discovered scripting and did some really neat things with that tool. Still have the option when I start iTunes to use the old library, just in case there's something there I need to copy to the smaller lib.

I just received an OEM copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 with my Canon Pixma Pro 100 Printer. What exactly is OEM. Is it a full version? Can I transfer files between different computers?

@

OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer", or in your case, Canon (not Adobe) is providing the software. It is identical to what you can buy from Adobe. It is the full version (that's the only version of Lightroom that exists)
Transfer files between different computers ... this is not a function of Lightroom. Lightroom neither helps nor prevents you from transferring files from one computer to another.

USB commnuication between two computers and air

Hey all,
I was wondering if usb communication between two computers is possible and what I would need to get started.
I want to connect two computers and send data through a usb cable. Prior app was using wifi however signal was not consistent and I need consistency.
THanks!

I see you found a solution, but for anyone else who drops in here, if it's an Android app you would need these permissions to be set in the app-descriptor XML:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"/>

Codec missing and moving projects between different computers

Hi,
Im a real rookie when it comes to premiere... and i have 2 problems.
First off i just want to know the best way to move a project between two computers... Usually when i move the folder and try open it all the links to the different movie files dont work, so i have to go through and select each one manually. There must be a way to get around this...
Second off i have a problem with importing my mac mov (i used iMovie to move the files from the video camera, which is a Sony HDR-HC3) files into premiere on the pc, it claims the codecs are missing. I have installed quicktime on the pc and i can play the movies fine, but they wont import into premiere because of the missing codec. Why?

I need step by step instructions to set up Remote Desktop between 2 computers on 2 different networks. Please dumb it down for me.

I need step by step instructions to set up Remote Desktop between 2 computers on 2 different networks. Please dumb it down for me.

I need to do the same, but with more than one computer behind a dynamic-IP NAT:
OS X Server A -|
               |
OS X Client 1 |- NAT Router Fixed IP ---|
               |                         |
OS X Client 2 -|                         |
                                         |

               |- NAT Router Dynamic IP -| Internet

               |- NAT Router Dynamic IP -|
OS X Client 6 -|
I have ARD installed on Client 1 and Client 3 (different locations where I'm at) and I need to manage Client 5 and 6 (and the others, but that amounts to the same problem). Since there are multiple computers behind the NAT, I cannot just patch a port through. I want a secure solution as the traffic goes via the internet.
I have been thinking about letting the users of Client 5 and 6 set up a VPN link to the NAT Router of Client 1 when they need assistance, but when I want to manage this from Client 3, all traffic goes over two VPNs, let alone if the router at Client 1 can manage this in a stable way.
Probably, two assignments in the router of client 5 & 6 would be nice, but can I tell ARD to use different ports for certain machines?
