I am trying to move my library and playlists to a new computer by burning to CD's. However, I followed the directions by going to File and then Library - then they said to go to burn CD(s) - I DO NOT have that option for some reason. How do I do this? I have done the library sharing thing but I am getting rid of my primary computer and am afraid I will lose the library.

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

    Please advise.

  • How do I move both my contents and playlists to my new computer?

    How do I move both my contents and playlists to my new computer?  I have tried the suggestions in previous posts of copying the library and music folders into the itunes folder on my new pc.  I don't have the option to file>library>import anything.  The only thing that transfers, even on home sharing is purchased music.  No music loaded from CD's and no playlists.

    Hello Kayaks2,

    You can try to repair the permissions for the Firefox application files and folders.
    You can also do this:
    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded.

  • I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states that i do not have enough space for encoding disk. how do i free up space and from where?

    I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states I do not have enough space for encoding. how do i free up space and from where?

    iDVD can only use your startup hard disk for the "scratch space" it needs for calculations during the encoding process.  25 GB is a good average requirement, but a large project (3 or 4 hours of content) might require more.
    To free up space, you will have to move items to an external hard drive and/or delete items you no longer want.
    Please note that iDVD can't use and external hard drive for this "scratch space".

  • HT4527 Pb with Home share moving music and playlist transfers to new computer

    I am trying to move my music library and playlists from my old computer (which I want to get rid of once I get my files transfered) to my new computer.  After searching and reading, it seemed Home Sharing would be easiest method.  I shared my library between my old and new computer.  The help screen indicated you had to then save the shared list to the new computer if you want to deactivate the sharing feature (and not use other computer).
    When I tried to copy music I'd shared onto new computer, it appears to work until I go to play the music on the computer.  Then all the songs cut off about a minute from the end.  How do I fix this problem?
    Playlists: With the playlists, I followed the directions and exported my playlists to a memory stick and then imported them onto the new computer via itunes.  The playlists all show up, but when I play music from the playlist it only plays the first 15 seconds of the song and then moves onto the next song.  How do I fix this problem?
    Thanks for any insight, directions anyone can share.  I have a PC with Windows 7

    With a Mac, you'd connect the iPhone to the Mac using the USB cable and then launch iPhoto or whatever other photo/movie application you like, and then import the videos from the phone. You should be able to do the same with your PC; use whatever video importer you like, it should treat the iPhone like any other camera.
    You can also use this iOS app, but it will only work pictures and with fairly short videos.

  • Moving library and playlists to a new computer?

    Is there an easier way to transfer everything to a new computer? Purchases from iTunes are easy enough, but I've also got all of the music that I've burned from discs, and gotten from Napster (From when they were subscription music site, not when they were a file sharing site! ). All in all thats 700+ songs I need to transfer, not to mention the 50+ playlists I have.... Any help would be very much appreciated!

    The easiest way is to backup your library to an external drive, then restore that backup to the new machine.
    See this User Tip for a suitable backup tool. As long as all the media is inside the iTunes Media folder which in turn is inside the main iTunes folder then the library can be restored to any location with enough room. If the media has been split out into one or more alternate locations then to successfully restore the library all the media must be restored to identical paths to those it was backed up from. You can use the same tool to restore the library to the new machine.
    After confirming that your library is working properly on your new machine you should deauthorize the old one if you no longer need to access protected content on it.

  • I want to transfer my library and all of the settings and playlists to my new computer

    I am interested in moving my entire library from one PC to another.  I want to keep all of my playlists and settings (ratings) so I don't have to do them again.  I have an external drive and have followed all of the steps from itunes four seperate times.  I can move the library, but none of the settings or playlist transfer.

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Windows forums.

  • HT1657 Once I rent a movie, I thought you had 24 hours (in the US) to watch it multiple times.  We used to see that but for some reason, we don't see the "rented" status to re-watch. Has that policy changed?

    After watching a rented movie from Apple TV, it appears to disappear not giving us the option to re-watch again.  Has the policy changed?  We used to be able to see the "rented" status for 24 hours, indicating how much rental time we had left.

    The 24 hour limit for the US hasn't changed, you should still be able to watch it as many times as you like within those 24 hours (and the 30 day limit from renting it, whichever ends the soonest). You should also be able to see the remaining time - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
    On your device, the time remaining for you to finish watching the movie appears near the movie title.
