How do I transfer itunes from PC to Mac?? I am new Mac user

Hi,
I have a Windows 7 laptop to which I have my ipad 2 and iPhone 4s connected/backed up to, I want to transfer the sync to Macbook Pro. Please could you advise how I could do this??
Thank You in advance...

Look in the Music folder on the laptop. You will find a folder named "iTunes". Copy this folder to the Music folder on the Macbook. Do this while iTunes is not running (very important). When you lauch iTunes on the Macbook after copying the folder you should see your entire music library and apps. Next Authorize iTunes on the Macbook to the same iTunes store account you had on the laptop.
Next connect the phone but do not sync. Go to the Info tab in iTunes for the phone and choose to sync Contacts with Address Book and Calendar with iCal.Alternatively, set them to sync with iCloud and also set the apps on your computer to sync with iCloud). Make sure there is at least on entry on the computer for iCal and for Address Book.
If you have photos on the iPhone also copy the photo library to the Macbook from the laptop and set the iPhone to sync to it on the Photo tab in iTunes.
After all of this if you sync you shouldn't lose anything.

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

How do I transfer iTunes from my PC to my Mac Laptop?

You can't transfer the application since they are for different operating systems.
You would have to download iTunes for your Mac.
To transfer your songs, videos etc, just copy all the files in your ITunes directory to a portable hard drive, and connect the hard drive to your mac.
In iTunes on your mac, make sure the preference (under advanced) for "keep itunes folder organized" is checked.
Then add the folder from your portable hard drive, and all songs will will transferred to your mac.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
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. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music (or wherever the equivalent is on Windows) then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

This really depends on how technical you want to get, and how much of the library data you want to retain. First, there is getting the actual song files over to your new computer. If both computers are on the same network and are on iTunes 9, you can use home sharing to transfer the song files to your new computer.
Once the files are transferred, now you have to get all of the metadata transferred, like Playlists and Song Ratings. There is a method for doing this that involves editing your Library.xml file to transfer Playlists, Playcounts, etc..
If all you want to transfer is your Playlists and song files, there are programs that will back up your playlists so you can transfer them to a new computer, but if you're able to do the above XML edits (which are pretty simple), that is preferred (and cheaper).

HT4527 how do I transfer itunes from old computer to a new computer

how do I transfer itunes from an old computer to a new computer

Unless you've moved away from the default iTunes settings simply copying the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source machine into <User's Music> on the target computer (over a network, or via an intermediate copy on a portable drive) will transfer the library.
See this migrate iTunes library post for more.
This gives you the same library, not a new library with the same content.

How do I transfer itunes from one library to another on two different PC's?

I have an ipod mini and have an itunes library on my home pc as well as my work pc. How can I transfer itunes from one to the other and keep them in synch?

There is no simple way to do it, as itunes wont let you use it on another computer without wiping the contents first.
However if you really want to transfer songs to another computer then you could try this;
* make sure that your ipod is accessible as a disk drive (ipod options)
* when you plug your ipod into the computer you want to transfer to make sure you select "no" or "cancel" when it asks to wipe the contents. Leave the ipod connected and quit from itunes.
* go to "my computer" and access the ipod directly. You probably have to select "view hidden files" from windows. You will see a lot of folders with odd names like ZX838aff with similar named files inside.
* copy these files to a folder on your computers hardrive. Now remove the ipod and start itunes.
* import the files from the folder you made in the last step.
* Now your music is on itunes, but with unrecogisable names.
This is the only way I have found to do it, but there may be another way, say with an application to do the hard work for you.

how do I transfer contents from my old mac back up disk

See this excellent write-up by Pondini ( a regular here, and resident Time Machine expert) on setting up a new Mac from a TM backup from an old machine.
Here.
It describes using Setup Assistant, a much better way than using Migration Assistant in creeating a seamless transition of your old applications, data files, and users. Normally you only have one opportunity to use it, upon first boot of your MacBook.

How do I transfer Notes from my Outlook Mac 2011 to my iPhone 4S (iOS 6)? I am using OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro

Hi,
I want to know how I can transfer Notes in my Outlook: Mac 2011 to my iPhone 4S.
Am using a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and my 4S is on iOS 6.

Finally figured it out...
1) Open mail/compose notes on your macbook...
2) copy and paste every note from Outlook to a new note in Mail.
3) Open iTunes. In Info/Advanced tick Notes. This will replace / copy all Notes from Mail to your iPhone...
4) Voila! Notes are on iPhone...
I must say in spite of all the fabulous advantages of a Macbook and an iPhone, syncing really does suck...
Transferring data from another smartphone to a Mac or an iPhone is tough...
Features like "one way / two way" sync for Phone / computer or allowing us to select which whose, phone or computer, will be considered more important so that you can choose whose data will overwrite the other, are not there in iTunes... This is something which really needs to be there...
Anyways... problem solved for now...
ciao...

How do you transfer music from iPhone to mac

How do I transfer music from my iPhone to my Mac Pro

Some of the information below has subsequently been summarized by turingtest2 in the post at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18842615
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
