Handling content associated with content identifiers
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
- cause a content identifier associated with content to be displayed;
cause at least a first indicator and a second indicator to be displayed simultaneously and in association with the content identifier, the first indicator indicating whether or not the associated content is stored on a first memory, and the second indicator indicating whether or not the associated content is stored on a second memory, wherein the first memory and the second memory are comprised by separate user devices;
in response to a selection of the first indicator, and in an instance in which a) the first indicator indicates the associated content is not stored on the first memory and b) the second indicator indicates the associated content is stored on the second memory, cause the associated content to be copied from the second memory into the first memory;
in response to a selection of the second indicator, and in an instance in which a) the second indicator indicates the associated content is not stored on the second memory and b) the first indicator indicates the associated content is stored on the first memory, cause the associated content to be copied from the first memory into the second memory;
in an instance the associated content is available from at least one of the first memory or the second memory, enable access to the associated content via at least one of the separate user devices; and
in response to a selection of the content identifier, and in an instance in which the first and second indicators indicate the associated content is not stored on either of the separate user devices, enable access to the associated content via a source external to both of the separate user devices.

Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for managing content on at least two devices. An interface provides a listing of content, such as multimedia files, stored on devices such as a personal computer and/or mobile device. Indicators associated with a content item indicate whether or not associated content is stored on the respective devices. Selection of an indicator may result in copying of files from one device to another, deletion of a media file from a respective device, and/or downloading a file from a location remote from either or both devices to a respective device. Indicators may be updated to reflect the completion of copying, deletion, and/or downloading.

1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
-
cause a content identifier associated with content to be displayed; cause at least a first indicator and a second indicator to be displayed simultaneously and in association with the content identifier, the first indicator indicating whether or not the associated content is stored on a first memory, and the second indicator indicating whether or not the associated content is stored on a second memory, wherein the first memory and the second memory are comprised by separate user devices; in response to a selection of the first indicator, and in an instance in which a) the first indicator indicates the associated content is not stored on the first memory and b) the second indicator indicates the associated content is stored on the second memory, cause the associated content to be copied from the second memory into the first memory; in response to a selection of the second indicator, and in an instance in which a) the second indicator indicates the associated content is not stored on the second memory and b) the first indicator indicates the associated content is stored on the first memory, cause the associated content to be copied from the first memory into the second memory; in an instance the associated content is available from at least one of the first memory or the second memory, enable access to the associated content via at least one of the separate user devices; and in response to a selection of the content identifier, and in an instance in which the first and second indicators indicate the associated content is not stored on either of the separate user devices, enable access to the associated content via a source external to both of the separate user devices. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code instructions comprising program code instructions to:
-
cause a content identifier associated with content to be displayed; cause at least a first indicator and a second indicator to be displayed simultaneously and in association with the content identifier, the first indicator indicating whether or not the associated content is stored on a first memory, and the second indicator indicating whether or not the associated content is stored on a second memory, wherein the first memory and the second memory are comprised by separate user devices; in response to a selection of the first indicator, and in an instance in which a) the first indicator indicates the associated content is not stored on the first memory and b) the second indicator indicates the associated content is stored on the second memory, cause the associated content to be copied from the second memory into the first memory; in response to a selection of the second indicator, and in an instance in which a) the second indicator indicates the associated content is not stored on the second memory and b) the first indicator indicates the associated content is stored on the first memory, cause the associated content to be copied from the first memory into the second memory; in an instance the associated content is available from at least one of the first memory or the second memory, enable access to the associated content via at least one of the separate user devices; and in response to a selection of the content identifier, and in an instance in which the first and second indicators indicate the associated content is not stored on either of the separate user devices, enable access to the associated content via a source external to both of the separate user devices.

14. A method comprising:
-
causing a content identifier associated with content to be displayed; causing at least a first indicator and a second indicator to be displayed simultaneously and in association with the content identifier, the first indicator indicating whether or not the associated content is stored on a first memory, and the second indicator indicating whether or not the associated content is stored on a second memory, wherein the first memory and the second memory are comprised by separate user devices; with a processor, in response to a selection of the first indicator, and in an instance in which a) the first indicator indicates the associated content is not stored on the first memory and b) the second indicator indicates the associated content is stored on the second memory, causing the associated content to be copied from the second memory into the first memory; in response to a selection of the second indicator, and in an instance in which a) the second indicator indicates the associated content is not stored on the second memory and b) the first indicator indicates the associated content is stored on the first memory, causing the associated content to be copied from the first memory into the second memory; in an instance the associated content is available from at least one of the first memory or the second memory, enabling access to the associated content via at least one of the separate user devices; and in response to a selection of the content identifier, and in an instance in which the first and second indicators indicate the associated content is not stored on either of the separate user devices, enabling access to the associated content via a source external to both of the separate user devices. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
