I know this belongs in the tech section, but I always get a faster response here. My husband recently purchased an IPhone. I have an Itunes account and so does he on the same computer. Is there a quick way for him to "drag and drop" music from my Itunes library to his without using a flash drive. The computer is a MAC.

    Hey. A PJ fan in the 'neck.....

    Now you say you both have an iTunes account on the same computer.
    Do you login to the computer with separate accounts or just iTunes?
    Is the music you want to move bought on iTunes or just imported cds?

    'neck as in Fredneck?

    Yes, we both have an ITunes account on the same computer.
    We log in to the computer with separate accounts
    The music is a mixture, Itunes and imported Cds.

    Well, you both are technically using the same library. You would have to set up separate playlists and he can add what songs he wants. You/he would then synch his iPhone to his corresponding playlist. Hope this helps.

    **In iTunes on the bottom left you will see a "+" (plus) button. Click it and it will create a new playlist category. Name it whatever you want. Any other questions let me know.

    So does that mean if we have completely different music tastes, when I synch my device, I will get any music he added whether I want it or not.

    Yes. I mean Fredneck......

    When you sync with iTunes, you pick what music you want to sync. It does not need to be his.
    If you want to copy some of his music to yours.

    Open Finder.
    Navigate to his music library and drag what you want into your running iTunes.
    Macintosh HD-->Users-->"His account"-->Music-->iTunes-->iTunes Media-->Music

    It may not allow you to copy his music purchased on iTunes due to DRM.

    Ok, then Cheers to a fellow Fredneck. Where abouts in Frederick do you live? I live outside of Gambrill State Park in the mountains. We may be the only 2.
