Have itunes on seagate harddrive..want to transfer to windows 7 laptop

I transferred my itunes library to seagate hard drive when travelling - now want it all on a new laptop - running windows 7.
Tried drag & drop but it wont play the songs - only works with hard drive plugged in :-(
what do i need to do to get the songs to play??

Drag the entire library and not just the iTunes Media folder to the internal drive, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and point it to that instance of the library.

    Are  you sure your iPhone is signed into the same iTunes Store account as iTunes on your computer?

    So you have all you music on the iPhone, right? and you want to transfer FROM the iPhone TO the computer?
    You can't do that with iTunes as far as i know, but you could probably get by that going through "this computer" or something.. I'm not sure, but technically it should be possible.
    good luck!

    thanks again

    You can sync iOS apps from your compute's iTunes library to your iPod. An iPod will only run iOS apps/games. It will not run or even sync computer apps/games.

    Transferring does not work, you need to install using installation files. Downloadable versions can be found at the following linked pages...

  • I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download

    I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download again

    Thanks Dirk,
                         Tried your suggestion various ways but it had no effect the download button was still greyed out and the install button would not activate will keep trying to find a solution. I dont want to boot from the external hard drive that has Lion on mainly because it is a usb HD and the connection to my wireless modem slows the connection rate and downloading would take about ten hours

    hi,
    I just bought my first mini mac.  I been using a HP with windows 7.  I want to transfer my itunes on my mini mac.  How can I do this without the need of my iphone to transfer.
    Thank you,
    Debbie

    Organize the library, right-click any song in iTunes, show it in the Windows Explorer, navigate up to the iTunes folder, and move that folder over as you would any other. Alternatively, the Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant can migrate all your user data into a newly-created user account.
    The Mac will need to be separately authorized to play protected content, and any movies rented on the PC won't play on the Mac.

    I have an '09 macbook and want to select specific pictures to put on a disc that will play on my televisions dvd player.  How do I do that?

    OM gosh!  After working on this for 2 days, by golly, I got it!  I used Free App DVD Creator.  I had first tried to burn the disc in PAL Format.....wrong format for the good 'ol USA.  After a little research I learned that the USA format is NTS.....so I chose that and it worked!  I now have a disc I can play on our dvd player on the TV.  Thanks all for above assistance.  Problem now solved!

    Without serial number it is impossible to install it on another machine.  However, if the product is still installed on your old machine then I suggest you should register it with Adobe so that the serial number can be recorded on Adobe servers.  To register the product, you need to go to:
    Help >> Product Registration
    This way the system will get the product serial number from the old machine and put it on Adobe servers.  You can then login on Adobe servers using your AdobeID and retrieve it to use it when installing it on your new machine.
    You are aware that you can install Adobe products on two devices at any one time right?  Also, if you are not going to use your old machine then you could deactivate the product from that machine so that you don't waste your two installations unnecessarily.
    Good luck and please post back how did you get on.
