How can I copy my ITunes sync files for my iPhone, iPad and iPod from my now discontinued PC to my new Mac?

I want to be able to use my Macbook Pro to sync my IOS devices with I Tunes, but I think I need the files from the PC that I was using to sync them. Or maybe not !!  Perhaps if I just connect them to the Mac, ITunes will do the rest???? Or does it need the sync history?
Or perhaps the Cloud can do it all and I don't need ITunes anymore. I have been using it also to back up the IOS devices and that's important too.
Help will be appreciated very much.

The Apple Store will do this for you.
You can call Apple support and they will walk you through it.
You can type "Move itunes library from pc to mac" into the google search bar.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • How can I change my iTunes home library for my iPhone?

    I initially synced my iPhone with my desktop computer's iTunes, and thus that becomes its "home library", and it won't let me sync with any other computer (which is understandable). However, what if I want to change the "home library"? Like if I buy a laptop, and then I want to only sync with my new laptop (I don't want to sync with my old computer anymore). I'm hoping there is an easy way to do this without deleting any data. Thanks!

  • How can I locate my iTunes library files. When I click on my itunes icon the message appears, "The file iTunes Library.itl." cannot be found because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."

    How can I locate my iTunes library files?  When I click on my iTunes icon rather than my iTunes files I receive, " The file iTunes Library.itl." cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."  I have already tried to update my iTunes program.

    Had same problem and solved it without having to reinstore any music or movies:
    1. Delete old Library file
    2. Go to the 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder and copy one of the earlier files - note, they have a date extension, e.g. 'iTunes Library 2011-11-01'.
    3. Paste this file in your iTuners folder and rename file by removing the date extension -  'iTunes Library'
    You should have all your music and paylists in tact, unless it was a really old previous file.

  • How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?

    How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • How can I  move the 'Itune music file' to another disk

    Hello
    I am using ITUNE in a Winfow XP environnement. I am running out of space on my C disk. How can I move my ITUNE music file
    C:\Documents and Settings\Yves\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    to another bigger partition on the same computer?
    Sorry if that question as been answered before I may have missed it.
    Thanks Yves.

    Sorry, there is no way to move that file out of the Profile folder, or specify a different location for it, built into Firefox.
    One extension that might be able to help you do that is Pike's Bookmark Backup extension. BB allows you to specify which files are backed-up and where those backup files are saved. It also has a backup interval setting, IIRC. <br />

  • How can I copy/transfer iTunes content ?

    How can I copy/transfer iTunes content from my old computer to the new one, considering that for some reason Target Mode and Migration Assistant doesn't work for me ?
    I don't need the application itself (it comes with the new computer) but just the content.
    I want to transfer my collection of CD in iTunes. they are all CD that I physically have in my living room, listen to them on my stereo and have copy them in my computer (which is in the Den) so I can listen while working on my computer.
    The iTunes is version 9.0.2
    Can I drag it to the external drive or perhaps just the songs, then copy/drag them to my new computer ?

    Hi-
    Can I drag it to the external drive or perhaps just the songs, then copy/drag them to my new computer ?
    Pretty much, Yes.
    If you wish to keep the formatting, notes, ratings, etc. that are with the library, you should allow the iTunes software to "discover" the library.
    If the iTunes Library from one machine is placed on an external drive, the iTunes software on the other machine can be directed to the library of the external drive when connected.
    Allowing "Copy to Home folder/music" will provide for copying of the library to the new machine.
    Alternatively, if the library is loaded onto an iPod, the iPod can be used to transfer the music.

    How can I play my itunes music files on my internet radio? Is there an App for iPad or iMac?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion. I subsequently realized that my Airplay settings on ITunes are ok. The problem is with the settings on Pure Music. I still havent figured this out. When i stream using just ITunes, it works fine, but when I play music using ITunes / Pure Magic, I still have an issue with Apple TV.

  • How long do I have to wait till I can access Aperture? I have files to deliver to clients and they want them NOW!

    I went to open Aperture and got the message that "Aperture can not be opened while it is being updated"..... I have thousands of photos in there and as soon as I can get access I will be dumping Aperture and moving to Lightroom. I used Aperture for all my photography work and only rarely used Photoshop. Aperture could handle just about everything I needed and now I can’t even access my OWN FILES? Bad move Apple, it looks like the last time I’ll ever buy Apple software.
    How long do I have to wait till I can access Aperture? I have files to deliver to clients and they want them NOW!
    Aperture Version 3
    iMac (27-inch Mid 2011
    OSX version 10.9.3
    Processor 3.4 GHZ Intel Corei7
    Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

    I spent the best part of a day moving Aperture files onto a Glyph 6TB StudioRaid in the hope that I could open the files I need on my MacBook Pro. I get set up and then find that I can’t open any of the files because they are all Aperture 3.4.5 or thereabouts and the copy of Aperture that I have on the Mac book Pro is 3.2.4. It cannot open the newer version of the files. The MacBook Pro is running OSX 10.6.8 I can't upgrade Aperture on there apparently.
    I then go back to the iMac and dump the latest copy of Aperture, re-install Aperture Version 3 and it tells me " You can't use this version of the application " Aperture.app" 3.0 with this version OSX. I'm using OSX 10.9.4 on the iMac.  I have NEVER had problems with Aperture until this last incident.
    Now I am in big trouble. I'll set up an appointment at the local Apple Genius bar and see if I can talk to someone tonight.

  • HT1541 I live in Canada and have a Canadian iTunes account. How can I purchase an iTunes gift card for a relative who lives in another country?

    I live in Canada and have a Canadian iTunes account. How can I buy an iTunes gift card for a relative who lives in another country?

    Sorry, but it's quite possible that you can't. If there's an Apple Store in the country to which you want to give the gift, you can call them ask ask if they'll accept a Canadian credit card for a gift card purchase to be shipped to an address in the relative's country. If they won't, then you'd have to find an independent reseller in that country that carries iTunes gift cards who could accept your credit card, and there may be none.
    Regards.
