Using iTunes on more than one computer?

iTunes: How to copy music between authorized computers
Though it refers to iTMS purchased music, it applies to all your tracks. And if you happen to also own an iPod:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
As to playlists, export them on your primary system and reimport on the new one.
As to sharing one iTunes library between accounts on a single system, see
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
Note that when it says "publicly accessible location", it needs to be a place where everyone has read and write access. The most common such place is the Shared folder in the Users folder.

Can I use itunes on more than one computer?

Hello all, hoping you can help me.
I have itunes on an old ( and therefore very slow!) laptop. Hoping to get a new laptop soon, but can I just install itunes on this new one and use it with my ipod?
My ipod is set to update manually so I think it should be ok. Just don't want to do it before asking just in case I lose my music!
Thanks.

You're welcome. One word of caution though if you are using an iPod that holds more than your computer and you want to fill it to capacity. If you delete songs from your PC and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up songs you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes. Take care.

Using photoshop on more than one computer

I purchased Photoshop CS6 for my home Mac several months ago. I am about to buy my daughter a Mac. Will I be able to install photoshop on her computer, too? Can I use it on more than one computer in the same household?

You can "install" it on two computers, but the End User License Agreement stipulates that you cannot run it on both at the same time.

Can I load my Itune on more than one computer?

Can I have ITunes installed on more than one computer, and sync with I-Phone and IPAD2? How do I keep the files the same on both computers?

you can authorize up to five computers you control for your iTunes store account.
you can use home sharing to keep the libraries on them in sync.
by design, iPhone and iPad can sync with only one library at a time.
however, you could consider Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod.

How to use ipod w/ more than one computer

I am new to ipod. I set it up on my laptop, and have all uploaded my cds to my ipod from there. I do nat have internet at home, so tried using my parents computer. How do you use the ipod with another computer that doesn't have all your songs on it? When I go to sync it, it ask if i want to delete all my ipod songa and replace with the ones on the other computer. I am trying to get album artwork. What am I not doing right?

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library. Even when manually managing an iPhone, you can only add content from one iTunes library.
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Syncing Music to 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: Safely Disconnect IPod
You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that way you can continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it.

Using Ipod on more than one computer

I have just purchased a new ipod after my old one broke down and when I hooked it up to my computer i got a message saying that this is the 5th computer my ipod is registered to... Being a new ipod i would think I should start again with this process... I have only hooked the new one up to one computer... can anyone help on this

"i got a message saying that this is the 5th computer my ipod is registered to."
Not sure why you would see that message, you can use an iPod with an unlimited amount of different computers.
See this.

Sure you're not confusing this with the maximum of 5 authorized computer for the purchase and playback of iTunes purchased music?

ITunes on more than one computer?

My boyfriend and I just got ipods. I had been using my home computer which unfortunately stopped working the other day (unrelated)
Anyways, I tried to use my ipod on my boyfriend's computer to charge and I thought I could load some of his songs to my ipod.
It ended up deleting all of the songs that were on mine and replaced them with his library. Is there any way that I can use more than one computer? Can I add songs from his library without losing the ones I have?
Thanks.

You will have to have the Touch set to manually manage to do this.

ITunes on more than one computer - how??

iTunes tells me I'm registered on more than one computer, but I'm not aware of it!
1) How do I find out which computers I'm on? I can't find where to go.
2) How do I delete them if I don't want them?

There is no way to tell what specific computers are authorized. Apple can't track them...only count them.
You say you were unaware that you had two authorized. Have you perhaps replaced the hard drive in your computer? If so, that would count as a second one if you didn't deauthorize it before the hard drive replacement.

Can I use iPod with more than one computer?

I have a 60gb iPod w/ color (4th Gen). On my laptop which is my home computer I also have all my music as well as on my iPod. I would like to know if I can put all my music on a second or even third computer so that I can access the music. Also, my girlfriend has a iPod nano. Would she be able to access my music if I put the music on her computer?

Using Lightroom on more than one computer

I recently bought Lightroom on the Apple App store for my mac mini. Is there a way to install it onto my PC desktop as well? Also, can I use it on more than one mac?

If you purchased from the Mac App Store, there is no serial number, so no, I'm afraid you can't. Anything in the Mac App Store is subject to Apple's terms rather than Adobe's. There's more information here: http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/05/lightroom-4-now-available-on-the-mac-app-s tore.html I believe the Mac App Store licensing usually allows installing on up to 5 Macs though.

Can you install itunes on more than one computer?

Hi all,
I want to install the software for my first-generation ipod mini on my friend's computer, but I heard somewhere that you can only install the software on one computer and obviously I also want to be able to use it with my own computer as well. Can you install itunes software that comes with your ipod mini on as many computers as you want or only one?
Many thanks,
Samantha

Sure you can. But instead of using the (more than likely) outdated CD, see the iTunes Download Page

USING POD ON MORE THAN ONE COMPUTER

I really need some help. I'm trying to use my pod on my home computer and everytime I connect it I get a message that says "The Pod is linked to another Itunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this Itunes music library and replace all existing songs on this Ipod with those from this libary?" The answer is No! I want to keep the stuff I downloaded from work and intergrate it with the music I have at home. My pod won't appear on the screen so I can change it to manually operate. I have already erased itunes and reloaded it - no luck. I'm at my wits end having spent 3 hours trying to figure out what to do? Can someone help me? I've been all over apples site trying to figure out what's wrong. Thanks!

Hi Leah,
Nothing is wrong with your shuffle. What you are describing is the intended, normal behabiour of the shuffle. All other iPod models have an option called "manual mode" where you can use it with multiple computers and transfer music from multiple libraries to the iPod. The shuffle does not and there's no way around this. You can only have one computer's songs on it at a time. Basically it is the least expensive iPod and therefore has the most limited feature set. I agree that Apple's site and documentation should be much more clear about this difference between the shuffle and the other iPods.
If you want both your home and work songs on your shuffle at the same time, you'll have to first transfer the songs from your work to your home (or vice versa) using the "disk mode" of the shuffle (coping using Windows explorer), and bringing them into iTunes on the other computer (using File->Add to Library). Once the songs are all in one library then you can transfer them to the shuffle.
Does that help?
Sara.
