The newest version of Apple's iTunes multimedia program lets you wirelessly transfer music and videos from one computer to another.
1. Make sure all computers have the latest version of iTunes. To check, open up the iTunes menu on a Mac or the Help menu on a PC to see if an update is available.
2. On all computers, click on "Home Sharing" on the left side of the iTunes window. Enter your account username and password, and click "Create Home Share." Make sure you use the same iTunes account on all computers. You may have to click "Authorize Computer" under "Store."
3. Once you have enabled Home Sharing, click on "Shared" to view the contents of another computer.
4. To transfer a video, song, or podcast to another computer, highlight that item and then click "Import" at the bottom of the iTunes window to add it to that computer's iTunes library. You can import multiple items by holding the Apple key on a Mac or the Ctrl key on PC and clicking on the items.
