How to sync two computers with iTunes?
On my laptop, I have iTunes and I use it to sync my iPod and iPhone's music, it's taken me a long time and money to collect my music library. My sister also has a laptop and recently got an iPod for her birthday. I want to have the same music I have in my iTunes library on my sisters laptop. But when I downloaded iTunes to my sisters laptop, I couldn't find an option to sync two computers, how do I make my laptop and my sisters laptop have the same library all the time wirelessly and hence be able to sync my iPhone, iPod and my sisters iPod with either my or my sisters laptop.
Thanks for all answers, they are much appreciated.
This is an easy one. Ready, get a memory stick large enough to put all your musician on it, open your documents and look for the iTunes folder, left click to highlight it then right click and scroll down to send to, look for your memory stick that you should have connected to your laptop and send the entire folder to the memory stick, it might take some time depending how much music you have on it. When finished put stick in your sisters laptop and load it on there, all your music will now be on both laptops, hope you can understand instructions, good luck
Kellie is right, you can also turn on home sharing on both computers in iTunes and share the songs that way

You are only allowed to sync devices with one computer

- Two different computers, two different iTunes.can I use the same Apple ID? I have iTunes on my computer that I use for my iPhone, and my mon just got an iPod Touch and wants me to fill it for her. I'm going to use her computer to do this, which currently does not have iTunes. Once I download iTunes, can I use my own Apple ID to download songs and apps onto her iPod? Is it possible to do that without disturbing what's on my phone, or do I have to make a whole new iTunes account for her?
- Songs in itunes won't sync to ipod but will sync to iphone? So i have over a 1000 songs in my itunes library and they will all sync to my iphone no problem. But when i try to sync to my ipad (which has enough memory available) it will not.
- Same Itunes playlist on different computers? I've got a detailed iTunes playlist on a PC. Now, I want the exact same playlist on my IMac. I can copy the songs over--that's easy enough, but do I now have to go through and re-create all those playlists? Can I sync my IPhone from the PC and then get that somehow onto the IMac (an exact copy, all songs in the same lists, etc)?
- Music won't sync to iphone when i sync itunes? I plug my iphone 4 into my computer, and sync my itunes stuff. It syncs the contacts, calendars, apps, everything except my music.
