HT4889 how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air

how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air?

thanks but exactly how do I do this.  I tried setting the new macair up using migration assistant but for some reason not everything has come through.  I bought a thunderbolt cable to improve the transfer rate.
Now my question is how do I transfer the iTunes folder.  I have authorised the new macair for iTunes and am within the 5 computer limit.

  • How do I switch my iTunes account (with all my music) from my PC to my new Mac?

    I originally opened an iTunes account on my PC.  I have a little over 1,000 pieces of music on it.  I now own a Mac, but don't know how to get my music onto my iTunes account from my Mac.  I also own an iPhone and the classic iPod if that helps.

    "Not sure when Apple started charging to swap your library, but i guess there is a price for everything.
    Yes homesharing will allow you to move the apps as well.
    Im not sure how tech savvy or computer literate you or someone in the house is, but if you follow the directions its pretty easy, provided you are somewhat familiar with itunes."
    I went to our local Apple Store and asked this questions and they told me I could bring in both computers and they would do it and it would cost $100.00.  I thought that was rediculous.
    Anyway, I turned on the homesharing for both computers and got everything to show up on my Mac, but it isn't in the "Library" it is in the middle of the left column as more of a file.
    So I wonder, do I have to always be hooked up to the wifi here at home in order to get the file?  If I'm out of the house using my computer will the file show up with all my music?  I want to have my music permanently on my Mac.  I don't want to use my PC for my iphone and music anymore.  I've had too many problems trying to sync my iphone and keeping iTunes working correctly from my PC.  This is why I finally bought a Mac.
    Thanks again for the help.

    No it is not possible.  Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

  • I recently purchased an iMac and used migration assistant to get all files from my emac, but now I have three user accounts.  I only want one (perhaps two) accounts.  I want all my music, photos and word docs from old computer in one user name

    I recently purchased a mac and used a firewire to transfer my files onto my new imac with migration assistant.  Now I have 3 users.  I want one with all my main files (pictures, music, files from my old computer).
    I don't mind having an additional "family" account so my younger daughter can't mess us things, but I can't figure out how to get files from one to the next and then delete the one user name.
    Thanks,

    In order to delete other accounts you must be logged into an admin account. You cannot delete the account into which you are currently logged.
    When you started the new computer you were in the Setup Assistant. You created a new admin account before finishing the setup. You need to log into that account because it is an admin account. You can then delete the account you migrated from the old computer (and any other accounts you don't need or want.)
    Then create a temporary new user account with admin status - name it, Temp. Log out of the current account and log into the new account, Temp. Now delete the initial account you created in Setup Assistant. You now have one account, Temp. Now re-migrate your data from the old computer. When that is completed log into the migrated account, which should be an admin account, and delete the temporary account, Temp.

  • How do i transfer an itunes account from my old computer to another computer which already has an itunes account registered to someone else

    how do i transfer an itunes account from one computer to another which already has another account on it which is registered with someone else

    There is no account stored on any computer, the library however is stored.
    To move the iTunes library from one computer to another, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another.

    I am a bit of a computer/Internet/iTunes dummy....
    I am concerned about the health of my current computer but have not yet made the commitment to a new one, but:
    1) How can I transfer my iTunes account to a new computer when I get one...
    and
    2) What can I do if my current computer suddenly implodes and I have not yet 'copied/'saved'/otherwise protected my account, as is? -- I have already had my computer crash once and had one of your people help me restore all of the paid for songs (none of the uploaded from my own collection of CD songs, of course, so I had to spend a long time rebuilding that) -- and I believe I was told you could only help me recover that material one or two times altogether, no?
    WithOUT purchasing a Mach or iCloud (I actually think I have one of the later, but rarely have checked it) account, is there anything I can do to responsibly protect my account?
    Thanks for any time taken on this!!!

    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.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data 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 then 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 iTunes account from a PC to a Mac?

    There's a couple of things you can do. First, on your Mac, log in to iTunes with your Apple ID. This will allow you to download the songs you've already purchased on iTunes. Transferring the files manually can be tideous, so I would reccommend calling Apple Support and they will guide your through it, or you can schedule an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, and they will help take care of it for you.
    Hope this helps,
