How do i get my library from one computer to another?

My iTunes library is on an older PC that I don't use anymore.
I want to move the files to my newer computer.
The older computer will NOT connect to the internet...
The two computers are close to each other.
I'm wondering if I can set up a network with the two computers and move them from drive to drive.
Thanks

Hey there productionassistance,
It sounds like you have an iTunes library on one computer you would like to move to another.

How do I get my music off one computer onto another?

I feel stupid for not knowing, but i need them off of my desktop onto my laptop

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

How do I transfer my music from one computer to another?

I just bought a new Mac. My iTunes library was on an external hard drive associated with my old Mac. When I import the music, it creates a large "unknown album" with music that was previously identified -- mostly WAV and AIFF files. How do I get iTunes to recognize the structure of my old library?

Note that WAV files are special in that the track information is not embedded in them as tags. When you move an individual WAV file the track data does not travel with it. Anyway, what you really want to do in your situation is:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
With the above method your library will appear exactly as it was on your old computer.

Can I move music from one computer to another using iTunes?

I have two computers, one I want to retire. Both computers are running iTunes. I want to move my music from the old PC to the new one. I turned on Sharing. I can play music from the old PC on the new one. Can I move the music files within iTunes or do I do a backup/restore of the music outside of iTunes?

The easiest way to do this is with File > Add to Library...
Navigate to the other computer's iTunes Music folder and select everything you want to copy.

How we can get the values from one screen to another screen?

hi guru's.
how we can get the values from one screen to another screen?
we get values where cusor is placed but in my requirement i want to get to field values from one screen to another screen.
regards.
satheesh.

Just think of dynpros as windows into the global memory of your program... so if you want the value of a field on dynpro 1234 to appear on dynpro 2345, then just pop the value into a global variable (i.e. one defined in your top include), and you will be able to see it in your second dynpro (assuming you make the field formats etc the same on both screens!).

If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.

Hey susanneyes,
Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.

Need to move music from one computer to another

Wondering how to move my music from one computer to another. My laptop is being replaced and need to move all my iTunes items from here to a desktop. What is the best/most cost effective way to do this? TY

It is very easy. First get something to transfer your itunes file to the laptop (network$, thumb drive$$ (depending the size), external hard drive$$$ with cost of drive and plus a case it can be costly). Those are in order of slowness! After all those files are on the desktop download itunes. DO NOT download itunes first you will be begging for trouble. Open itunes and it will take a few seconds and it should find the file on it's own. Now all you need to do is sign into itunes agree to all the fun stuff and there you go. I did mine with an external Sata hard drive via esata and it could not of been easier. To find the file you need go into music/my music and find the big file named itunes. just copy and past and let er rip.
Good luck

Can I transfer my music from one computer to another via home sharing?

So long as they are on the same wifi network, yes.
Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.
If there's a lot of stuff in the library you're transferring from, the transfer may take some time.

I want to transfer my music from one computer to another, however a large majority of my songs are already on the new computer, is there a way to transfer only the ones not there? or to see what songs are only on the one computer

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Homesharing gives you the option of seeing only the content in the shared library, that is not already in your own library.
