Two Computers two itunes libraries... 1 Iphone

I have two computers - 1 iphone and 2 itunes libraries... is there an easy way to make the two Itunes libraries sync, so i don't have to constanly make sure both libraries match, so it doesn't delete the stuff i want, and so podcasts etc don't download twice?

I know what you mean. At home, we have 4 iPods, but only one PC. It was very difficult to manage so many ipods from only one itunes library. My Dad look on the internet and found out this. Actually, this is a pretty cool tool because you can create your own library, add or delete the music you want, without affecting the other's libraries. What I like the most is that I don't have my brother's music on my ipod anymore!!!!
Hope it helps

  • My iPhone has two computers in (iTunes wifi sync), how can I remove one of them without using it ?

    Hello everyone.
    My iPhone has two computers in (iTunes wifi sync) how can I remove one of them without using that computer?
    because that PC stopped working so I had to recover it. Now everything is gone on that PC.
    Also I bought a new computer (MacBook Pro) and I use iTunes on it in the mean time. Now I want to remove the old computer!
    here is a photo of my (iTunes WiFi sync)
    is there any way that I can use to do that?
    Thanks

    Hello,

    I have the same issue and i dont know how to fix it.

  • I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.

    I am experiencing two problems with iTunes on my iPhone 5s.
    Issue 1: iTunes Match
    Some song playback is merging songs. I select “Song A” to be played and midway through the song it begins playing “Song B” however when I look at my phone it indicates that “Song A” is still playing even though the actual music is not “Song A”. I searched the Apple Support Community as well as the internet and this seems to be an ongoing issue back to 2012 that has not been resolved. All of the “fixes” that are provided do not work. For example, update/sync iTunes Match, delete the song from your iPhone and re-download from the cloud or delete the song from your iTunes including the iCloud and re-download. None of which worked. I even tried to complete erase the song from my computer hard drive and restarted my computer and then re-downloaded the song and it was still not working.
    Issue 2: iTunes Preview Track
    I am unable to preview any music on iTunes through the iTunes app on my phone. I have signed out of my user ID and restarted my phone and then logged back in and it did not fix the problem. My iTunes Match and iTunes radio are allowing me to play music. My software is up-to-date.

    Same problem here, Im running the latest version of iOS 7 on my iphone 5S (ipod 5S) bricked lol. It was working fine and then a mates baby grabbed my phone and dropped it (not very high) then it went off so i turned it on and BAM i got the grey backround with the apple logo on it so, I waited, Then it went to BSOD and got stuck in that loop, I then done a manual reset I was able to turn it off thats all. I tried restore in recovery mode with the latest itunes it come up with Unknown Error, error code (14) (something to do with unreconizable USB) tried many diffrent USB ports but sadly nothing, I then tried DFU mode with itunes still not working. Im really stuck on this one I need some assitance PLEASE! HELP!
    No aftermarket apps on iphone 5s
    Latest iOS 7 on iphone 5s

  • Two computers, two itunes libraries, want to consolidate to 1

    I have two computers both with itunes, both with songs loaded and I want to consolidate or move everything to one computer using one itunes library. Both computers are running windows xp.

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

  • Two Iphones, two Computers, two itunes

    I am sure this was posted I just can find it.
    I have two computers and two i phones. My wife has all the music on her computer. Can set it up that I can get her music on my i tunes to sync to my iphone or do I just need to get the music from her computer and the rest from mine, like my contacts and such.

    I have a similar issue - 2 computers, 2 iPhones, 2 iPods, one each for myself and my wife. We have a 115 gig library on a NAS but we don't seem to be able to use it the way I'd like. It seems pointless to duplicate the library on both machines, or even more bizarre - duplicate it on the NAS itself. Is there no way to have one location for the actual music files with separate library files for each of us? I'm happy to "import" the listing into my .itl file, but I don't want to have to create a physical copy of each imported track - that's a waste of space.

  • One iTunes, two computers, two iPods help?

    I have one iTunes account shared between two computers. An iPod touch is on each computer. How can I separate the account but yet have the same one? I hope that this makes sense to everyone wanting to answer. I also found that if I purchase a song on one iPod, it goes to the other one as well. How do I stop that? Thank you for your time.

    To allow sharing of purchases but not automatically download when the other person makes a purchase:
    - On the iPods go to Settings>iTunes and App stores and turn off Automatic Downloads
    - On the computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Store and turn off Automtic Downloads
    To allow separate Messages, FaceTime and iCloud (calendars, contacts etc,
    - Create one NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    - On one iPod use that for
    Settings>iCloud
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive

  • Two computers, one iTune library

    If I was to burn a back up cd of my iTunes library from my desktop and then install/restore that same back up cd on a different computer that has the iTunes program, will the iTunes library work on that computer?
    If it does work, then would the iTunes library still work on the computer that a burned the back up cd from?
    These two computers are not on a network.

    Yes.

  • Can Apple TV connect to two different Macs (iTune Libraries)?

    My wife and I each have our own MacBook and our own separate iTune Libraries. How do we both connect to our only Apple TV. Currently, it appears that only one of our Macs iTune Libraries can connect.

  • Two computers with different libraries in the iCloud Photos.

    I'm thinking about switching to iCloud Photos. However I have one iMac and one MacBook Pro. And the pictures in the MacBook Pro (in iPhoto) and the pictures in the iMac (Aperture Library) are maybe 30-40% different pictures (70-60% are the same pictures thanks to Photo Stream).
    I was wondering if I enable iCloud Photos on both the computers, will those libraries merge? Is there a chance that I can lose pictures? (Or have duplicates?)
    Did anybody do this? What was your experience?
    Thanks!

    I guess I'm pretty alone in this problem.

  • Help with two computers, two accounts on one apple tv

    I'm about ready to pull the trigger on an apple tv to add to my building home theater system. My biggest desire in getting the apple tv is mainly for music streaming to my speaker system. So here is my question. My wife and I both have our own separate itunes accounts, separate itunes libraries on our own macbooks. My question is if it will be a problem to access both of those itunes libraries through the apple tv. I have the remote app for my iphone and can control both of our libraries with that, and can switch between both easily on the iphone, but will the apple tv be able to play different libraries without difficulty? I don't know if i need to set up home sharing because both libraries are currently on different accounts, so i don't even know if it's possible.
    Any help, suggestions, or ideas would be appreciated.

    JKStraw - but you understand that when you use the appleTV you can stream from a computer without "taking over" the iTunes on that computer?
    there are two mode for streaming to an appleTV..
    1) you can stream what is being played on a computer's iTunes Library through airPlay and remote control the iTunes on the computer with the remote app
    OR
    2) you can just access the files in a computers iTunes Library from the appleTV without affecting the computer at all.. you could be playing a song on iTunes or not on the computer and be playing a completely different song on your appleTV.. you just enable home sharing on the appleTV and computer.. from appleTV you just go computers > +the name of the iTunes Library+ and you can access all your songs, video etc on that computer without affecting that computer at all..
    on the remote app you can link to an appleTV and 1) just use gestures to navigate the appleTV or 2) skip the appleTV GUI altogether and view what's available directly from the remote app.. click on something and it plays.. again this in no way affects what's happening on the computers the appleTV is linked to..

  • One iPod, Two Computers, Two Countries.

    So, I'm sure this has been hashed to death elsewhere, and this will either turn into a rant, or there will be a solution. So, here we go.
    I'm an exchange student in Finland, and about 2 months after I got here, my iPod was hooked up my laptop, which then froze and completely wiped out my entire iPod of music. Absolutely blank. So, I've since gotten more music for the stupid thing. Now I'm just worried about when I go home and having that +stupid as ****+ message about "already sync'd with one library, delete everything to continue". I've gotten it here with my boyfriend's computer.
    See, thing is, I'm not staying home. I will only be there for about a month and a half. And I cannot put all the music that I had on my home computer onto my laptop, because there is simply not enough room (I had over 12,000 songs, about 47 GB).
    Now, if there's a way to have music for my library on an external drive and never have it actually taking up space on my laptop, then I suppose I could live. Please, dear god, tell me that is a viable option. I've been going nuts without my music.

    I have two computers and one iPod.
    I know I can use both of them with my iPod, as long
    as I add files manually.
    Just wanted to know if there is a way to update it
    automatically in a way that the files that came from
    the other computer aren't erased.
    Thanks
    I also have two computers and one iPod. I have set up one computer to update library/playlists automatically, and have set up the iPod on the other computer for manual updates. Although the songs appear in iTunes, the playlists don't, and I can't move any songs to/from the computer/iPod. The manual says it can be done, but it isn't working. Have you been able to move songs to/from your iPod/computer since you set it up like that?

  • Two Computers & Two OS

    I have an older iMacG5 (Power PC) running on Leopard and a newer MacBook (PC & Intel) running on Snow Leopard. I have been using the TM and Time Capsule on the iMac for about a year. Can I now add the MacBook to the TM/TC configuration so it gets backed up, as well ? The data on the two computers are similar but not identical.
    Would appreciate some advice.

    Yes, probably, if it's large enough (see #1 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum). All you have to do is, on the MacBook, go to TM Preferences and set it up normally, selecting the TC.
    If the TC is already near full, there may not be room for many, if any, backups of the MacBook. If that happens, post back and we'll show you a very tedious workaround.
    Otherwise, TM will keep the two sets of backups completely separate. Each will have it's own sparse bundle, identified internally by each Mac's +Ethernet address,+ a unique number embedded in the hardware on the logic board.
    If you're running Windoze on the MacBook via BootCamp, TM will not back-up the Windoze partition.
    But if you're running it via a virtualization app, be sure to exclude the virtual machine file from TM (TM Preferences > Options, or see #10 in the FAQ Tip.) If you don't, TM will back-up the entire virtual machine every time anything at all is changed on it, quickly filling-up the TC. You'll need another way to back it up.

  • Two computers, two modems?

    Hi,
    A short time ago, I finally got high speed internet (DSL) for my iMac G3 (400 MHz). I was prompted to do this because my modem was a dud and dial-up became impossible for me. Now I have an external modem and after ironing out a few wrinkles with my ISP, everything is good. However, a housemate has a PC that is not connected to this great system. Can anyone tell me how to get the second computer connected? Is it possible to have both a mac and a pc connected to the same modem? Are there ethernet cable splitters that will do this job? Or do I need to get a whole second modem and if so, can the two computers be online at the same time?
    Sorry if this is basic; I am still learning.
    Thank you in advance.

    Buy an inexpensive wired router. The router will use the single IP address given to you by your ISP and create multiple local IP addresses. It will support both the Mac and PC.

  • Two computers, two iphones.....can we share one itune account?

    Sorry in advance if I sound alittle confused...
    I have an itunes account and have purchased a number of apps that my husband would like to sync to his new 3G phone using his computer.
    It would also be easier to have both our charges billed to the same credit card.
    We also have very different tastes in music so I would prefer not to mix libraries.
    How can we do this?
    (He downloaded itunes to his computer but I stopped him before he registered his phone)
    Thanks,
    Kathy

    Use the single iTunes account on both computers, and only download content on the computer you want that content to be on.
