I've been having this question since I got my Ipod for Christmas last year. Hopefully this is the right place tht can help me.

Okay, my mom got her laptop a couple of months before last Christmas and she was only able to get internet on her user loggy thingy. Mine was not connected to the internet at the time and I didnt know how long it would take for it to work, so I downloaded Itunes and all my songs onto the conputer logged in under her.

Well when my user login thing started workin and I connected my Ipod to the computer the songs were not in the library like I had originally thought they would be. The songs did however play in my Ipod playlist window.

I was just wondering if there was a way where I can get my library logged in under my moms user to my library under myself. Or if I could just put the songs on my Ipod into my library under me. I asked a good friend who knows a lot about Ipods and she said I can't do that because Apple might think that thats pirating or something. But there is no such thing as pirating your own songs that you already paid for. I dont understand. I would deauthorize the Itunes underneath my mom's user but i think that would deauthorize the entire computer. I don't want to do that because it might deauthorize the Itunes under my user and my brothers user.

If anyone has any idea what to do, or if they know for a fact that I can't change my library let me know por favor!

Thanks so much!!

Are you saying. Windows different users under one computer?

Well you can have the administrator of that computer give all access to iTunes to your username. Or log in under your "moms" Go to File > Export Library

Then take that and upload it to your username. But make sure all the songs that are on your moms are on yours too.

Those are my suggestions. But I'm not sure of them.
