+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted December 5, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted December 5, 2011 So you want to amalgamate the music onto your iPhone? I don't think that's possible. Why don't you just merge your iTunes libraries so you just have it on one Mac instead of two? Problem solved. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glassed Silver Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 This is a slippery path I wouldn't risk walking on. AFAIK it's not possible. Why not use a home server/DLNA certified NAS to hold the music and synch with one Mac? Or just synch both libraries? If that's not option, I don't know what I can tell you to be honest. I shall have a google ride for you in a few moments, so hold out! :D My guess is, one of the Macs is not your's right? Glassed Silver:mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifts Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I had the same requirement. Reason for having it on 2 systems is because you might want to keep them both in line with each other. Nothing worse than wanting to synch from mac 1 and it tells you it wants to delete all your music etc. It's possible with editing a XML file on both machines but at the moment I don't have the link. Soon as I find it I will post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glassed Silver:mac I googled before and all the articles about syncing in different macs are couple years old and dont think it works anymore. I was thinking copy the entire iTunes music folder and paste it into 1 mac and sync... i think thats the only way... damn apple... :/ I had the same requirement.
