Upload songs from different computer
Anyone know how to upload songs from different computers? It will prompt a error it detect my ipod has songs from another library and ask me to link to current one, if i do so, it will erase all my existing songs. Anyone has solution to this?
By default the iPod is set to "automatically manage songs and playlists", which is why you get the iTunes warning telling you the iPod is linked to another library when you connect it to a computer it hasn't been on before. If you want to use it on more than one computer then connect your iPod to your main computer and change the update setting. Once it's connected and showing in iTunes go to Edit>Preferences>iPod and change the update method to to "manually manage songs and playlists":

Uploading songs from another computer
I am hoping that someone can help with with these - I can generally work stuff out, but can't find this anywhere.
I have a friend who has bought an ipod for their daughter, but their computer is not connected to the internet. I have offered to set up on my home computer, but can the child access music from a friends computer without losing their original content? and Can she use itunes on her computer to upload CD's without being connected to the net?
Any help appreciated
ThanksIf you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. In this mode you just drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
Note: When changing from automatic to manual, check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. "Don't" uncheck Sync Music in the Music tab, it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting, if you uncheck it without setting the iPod to manual first you'll erase all the songs from your iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod -
Can i upload music from different compute
so the last MP3 player i had wouldnt let me upload from more than one computer. so when? i got a new computer, i got screwed because it wouldnt let me upload any more music onto my player, unless i deleted everything that was already on my player. I just bought a Creative Zen V for my little brother for christmas, and i thought it would be cool if i uploaded some music on it for him so when he opens it, he can listen to it. but i didnt want to do that if he can only upload from one computer. if anyone knows, let me know! thanks!!

This is called illegal file sharing. -
My father has thousands of tracks in ipod nano uploaded from his desktop computer itunes, but he wants several tracks from my macbook pro laptop itunes. Is there a way to get my tracks into his nano without deleting the thousands of tracks. It seems ridiculous to delete all the tracks just to get a few more. By the way, he does not have a desktop computer anymore, and the only way to get tracks is from my laptop. Also some of the tracks in his nano, he does not own the CDs anymore that is why he does not want to automatically delete his thousands of tracks in his nano. When he had his desktop, he had his own itunes account, and i have my own itunes tracks. We want to share music although we have our own account. Please help. Thank you Apple.
No. If you have different iPod using a different iTunes acct. you have no choice but to delete the songs and upload your. itunes won't let you transfer songs from different iTunes acct.

How can I transfer some of my Itunes songs from my computer to my husband's iphone? He has a different apple ID and every time I do this, my IMac says it will erase and sync. I've checked the manual manage box but no luck.

It says that his computer is authorized, but as soon as I try to transfer anything, I get a message saying that my iphone is already synced with another iTunes library
What does the iPhone have to do with anything?
Don't plug yoru iPhone into his computer.
Do I need my iPhone to do it or can I do it from iMac to iMac? Thanks for any help.
So you have two different computers?
Just enable Home Sharing and he can copy the songs from you iTunes to his then he can sync his iPhone to his iTunes.

I have an iPod Classic and the latest version of iTunes. I make all my purchases on my computer, but when I try to click the "add to" option and transfer the songs to my iPod, it doesn't work. How can I get my songs from my computer to my iPod?

Is it possible to upload songs from your iPhone to iTunes?
Is it possible to upload songs from your iPhone to iTunes?
I have music on my phone which was previsouly on my itunes but I lost everything on my computer, is there anyway to get my music back onto iTunes? I did not purchase this music from iTunes.The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backuip device.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Have you failed to do this?
If so, then you may be able to purchase a third party program ( not supported by Apple) to get the songs. -
How do I find and delete unauthorized songs from my computer?
How do I find and delete unauthorized songs from my computer?
Terence,
Yes, the duplicates appear in the iPhoto window. I have folders with same name occuring two or even three times sometimes with exactly the same set of photos (ie photos with the same ID) and sometimes with a limited set of photos. Other folders appear only once.
I normally take my MacBook with me if I'm shooting a lot of photos, such as on holiday, and then want to transfer them to my iMac when i get home. Other times I transfer the camera's memory stick directly to my iMac.
I have great difficulty transferring the photos from my MacBook to my iMac. I don't want to store my photos on my iDisk due to the length of time it takes to upload them.
Thanks again.

Upload songs from multiple computers?
Has anyone figured out if there is a way to UPLOAD songs from multiple computers. Note, I don't want to sync. I want to be able to plug my iPhone in at my office and put mp3s which I buy at work onto the phone. This works on the iPod, but not the iPhone as far as I can tell.
I'm also having this issue and it seem to be a silly limitation to me. Using the same iTunes account, I was able to upload music and apps from my phone to my wife's computer. However, I can't put any of the music on her computer to my iPhone....strange that it works one way but not the other. Both computers authorized using the same iTunes account. Never thought that it would be an issue, since I'm able to do this with my various iPods.

hey, how do i upload songs from my ipod onto my computer? i got some songs from another comp on my ipod which i want on my comp, how do i do this? cheers joe
Normally all you need do is copy the entire iTunes folder from the music folder in your profile on the old computer into the music folder in your profile on the new one. If the library and media folders were split into separate locations then it is much the same, but the media folder should be restored to the same absolute path it previously occupied.
