How can I move my DRM-protected movies from one disk to another on the same computer without running afoul of the big movie houses?

I need to off-load my digital copies to another disk I just bought, located on the same computer, so I can have more room for other things; my collection is getting too big, I guess.  I'm afraid if I just move them and re-integrate them back into the iTunes library, it will mess up the DRM status and lock me out entirely.  I'm hoping it won't treat this exercise as one of my allocated copies and increment the counter counting device transfers.  Any ideas as to how to safely do this (without hacking, etc.)?
Thanks.

is this second library in a different account on the computer?

  • How can I transfer or make readable files from one user to another on the same iMac

    I have migrated files from a windows PC to my Imac. The transferred files have been saved successfully against a new user (which I can access). How can I make those files available to the all users of my Imac?

    In FINDER, drag and drop the files into the Public Folder.  All Users can then access those files.
    Hope this helps

    No, you cannot transfer apps from one account to another iTunes account. Apps are DRM protected and forever tied to the account used to originally obtain them.

  • How can I migrate my junk-mail settings from one Mac to another?

    I would like to move my junk mail settings from one Mac to another. I found this article (https://kb.siteground.com/how_to_synchronize_the_junk_email_settings_in_mac_mail /), but can't locate the file indicated in the article, so I suspect that the article is out of date (though it's not dated).
    Both machines - MacOS 10.9.5; Mail 7.3.
    Any insights much appreciated!
    Best,

    Make your user library visible and see if you can find it.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library.

  • How can I transfer my iTunes Media Library from one PC to another without losing files and making a mess of the file and album structure?

    I have imported a number of Café del Mar CD's to iTunes, and iTunes keeps scattering the tunes into several different folders in iTunes Media. It also has trouble finding album information, unless it has been downloaded from iTunes Store. Previous versions of iTunes I have tried didn't have this problem.
    I've tried to tidy the files manually in iTunes Media, but that usually results in duplicates, so I stopped messing with it. I actually wouldn't mind iTunes blowing up my albums into a nightmare file structure of hyper categorization in iTunes Media (Album, Album Artist, Artist, etc.) if only it recognised its own mess when I transfer the library from one iTunes library into another.
    An example: I downloaded Cafe del Mar - Essential Elements featuring 13 tunes, two of these can be found in the files Cafe del Mar/Cafe del Mar Essential Elements, iTunes also created the folder Cafe del Mar/Cafe del_Mar Essential Elements containing 0 tunes!?! and the rest of the tunes are found under Rue de Soleil in the root folder, indicating ONE of the artists as the criteria for creating a folder of tunes!?!
    I am trying with every fiber NOT to hate this program, and would appreciate it if someone could explain to me how I can move an iTunes Media library of aprox 54 gb from my desktop via an external harddisk onto my laptop. I have tried 4 times, and everytime the result varies. Sometime I transfer 3000 files, other times 4000. Which files follow and don't is random. I lose files tranferring to the external harddisk and lose even more files from the external disk to the new library on my Lap. Do I have to transfer song for song or can this genius program actually transfer a larger amount of files without losing half the files and duplicating the rest?
    Is there a limit of size or amount of files?

  • How can I transfer a pre-installed licence from one PC to another?

    I have an old laptop that was purchased pre-installed with Photoshop Elements (looks like both version 7 and 9) but the laptop is on it's last legs and is about to be consigned to the scrapheap.
    I have purchased a new replacement laptop and want to transfer the licence from the old one to the new one. I have searched the Adobe web site and have found and downloaded the installation files for both PE 7 and 9 but they naturally ask for serials during the install process. Because the original laptop had the software preinstalled there was no dvd or e-mail with the licence key. How can I interrogate the old laptop to find my key?
    Thanks

  • How can I transfer contents of hard drive from one iMac to another,

    Hi
    I have two iMacs (older G3 CRT) both are running OSX 10.2.8.
    I want to copy the contents of the hard drive on iMac "A' to the hard drive of iMac "B". Can I do this,,, How can this be accomplished ??

    Hi Everyone
    Ok,,, here is my update, I was able to download finally Carbon Copy Cloner, but it will not even launch because the BSD module is missing on my iMac #1, it seems that I need to install this file from the original OSX disk which happens to be at work. OK, then I tried SuperDuper, it installed fine, then I read the instruction PDF, but when I went to make the copy onto the iMac #2, ( I did start it in Firewire mode, connected it via firewire to iMac #1
    and the drive mounted fine on the desktop) BUT for some reason Super Duper won't allow the copying of files.
    SO< then I stupidly just copied the entire contents of the hard drive on iMac #1 to the hard drive of iMac #2, which was mounted on the desktop of iMac #1. Then when all the files copied, I ejected the mounted drive, disconnected the Firewire cable and started imac #2, But iMac #2 would not boot up, I repaired it's disk permissions by once again starting in Firewire wire mode and using the disk utility on iMac #1 to repair the mounted drive of iMac #2), Then I disconneted the cable and started iMac #2, but still no boot up, just the little flashing file icon.. I also reset the PRAM on startup but still nothing. Any ideas, I can wait until Monday and do a clean install of OSX from my original disk, but was hoping there was something I can until then. And, of course, I;m still seeking a solution to getting all the programs, dats amd files from the hard drive on iMac #1 copied over to iMac #2,,, Any other ideas would be appreciated.<br>

  • How can I transfer some books and music from one ipad to another without having to sync and erase the lot?

    I am trying to transfer some music and books from my ipad to my mothers ipad.   I am using a laptop that I have had to install itunes onto.  When I sselect the music I want to put onto my mothers ipad I get the message 'are you sure want to sync this ipad to this computer as it will erase all date on the ipad and replace it with this'...well something to that effect anyway.
    When I plug my ipad into it it also states that syncing will erase all data and replace it with what is on itunes as my ipad is linked to another computer (im in Hobart and my usual computer is in brisbane)
    Is there a simple way for me to add music and books on a usb stick to mothers ipad without having to lose everything taht she currently has on there?
    Any advice is greatly appreciated
    Cheers

  • How can I transfer my playlists, ratings, etc. from one pc to another?

    After scouring the posts here for a couple of hours, I'm not sure I have the answer I need for my situation.
    I just purchased a 300 GB external HDD on which I have been extracting my CD collection. I want to share this drive between my main desktop pc, for everyday use, and my laptop, for entertaining.
    The problem is, while I can easily share the songs between my two computers, I can't seem to share the playlists, ratings, classifications, etc. that I so scrupulously work on.
    Is there a way of doing this?

    If you cannot see the ‘My Music’ folder within
    the
    TweakUI drop-down selection, proceed on to the
    following:
    1 On the start menu go to ‘Run’
    2 Type in RegEdit
    3 Navigate in RegEdit to
    HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe
    rsion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
    4 Delete any entry for ‘My Music’
    Curiously, there is no entry for My Music in this
    panel. I don't know why. Maybe that's the problem?
    5 Navigate up the tree to
    HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe
    rsion\Explorer\Shell Folders
    6 Make sure there is an entry for ‘My Music’ and
    is
    pointing to C:\Documents and
    Settings\[username]\My
    Documents\My Music (you can edit the value by
    double
    clicking it)
    7 Close RegEdit
    8 Reboot
    iTunes &/or TweakUI should now be able to find the
    folder.
    Don't know if it will work on Win2000. But it's
    the
    only thing I have in my 'bag-o-tricks'.
    Best of Luck
    I will try this perhaps tomorrow. I'm a little afraid
    of screwing it up. For now, the workaround seems to
    work. Thank you so much for your help. I'll try
    tomorrow and let you know if I succeed.
    Hi Buegi,
    This procedure didn't seem to work. I think the level of tinkering is a little beyond me. In any case, the workaround solution of copying the .itl and .xml library files and placing them in my laptop each time a change is made is an effective and fairly easy solution. It's only downfall is that it's not "automatic." However, this is a small inconvenience in exchange for the great benefit of transporting my customized library data between computers.
    So, I will consider this issue resolved.
    Many, many thanks.
