How do I move ITunes from one computer to another

I am trying to move my ITunes from one computer to another. I downloaded ITunes on my new computer and loged in with my account information. Then I pluged my IPod into the comuter and imported all my songs. I thought that everything would come over but none of my apps did. I want to synce my IPod up with my new computer how do I do it?

Backup everything to an external hard drive with this User Tip.
Use the same process to clone the library into a new empty iTunes folder on the new computer.
Deauthorise the old box if you don't need to access protected content on it any more.
Use SyncToy from time to time, and in particular before every iTunes update, to keep the backup up-to-date.

Move Itunes from one computer to another

does anyone know how I can move my Itunes from one computer to another with out losing any of my library content. Also, is it possible to copy music from Ipod to Itunes library?

Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and Hudgie's User Tip . Post back if you need any clarification.

Copy/Move Itunes from one computer to another

Greetings,
I need help...I purchased a new Sony Vaio laptop and wanted to copy all my music (itunes, walmart purchases, and music ripped from CDs). I read all I could online, including this site and consulted a local college student. All said I could just copy the entire My Music folder from one computer to the other. I did (making sure I placed the itunes song in the Media folder) and then added folder to the Library. Everything works fine except I do not have the ability to looked at my purchased songs. (1) How do I recreate the purchased songs log? (2)Is there a legal issue of leaving the songs on the old computer (desktop)? (3) Are there any problems/issues I need to know before I get too far down this path? Thanks for your help. BTW, I have made backups of my itunes account.

You're welcome!
+First, if there is an easier method of copying the library,+
There is, and the method you tried at first should have worked. Are both PCs running the same version of itunes? If they are both at the latest version 9, did the old PC ever have itunes 8 on it before?
+All said I could just copy the entire My Music folder from one computer to the other. I did (making sure I placed the itunes song in the Media folder) and then added folder to the Library.+
There shouldn't have bee any placing itunes song in the Media folder - they should have already been there. And you shouldn't have had to add the folder to the library. Copying the entire folder over should have been as easy as opening itunes and seeing the complete library as it looked on the old PC. Sounds like you started with a blank library on the new PC and added songs - that's adding some steps that changed the desired result.
Second, I do not have a Green "Purchased" icon under the STORE
When you start with a blank library and haven't made any new purchases, that's normal. If you get a free single of the week it will show up. Then you can add your previous purchases like I posted with the smart playlists.
Or you can go back and do the move from the old PC correctly, and it will all be there.
Let's get all that sorted before talking artwork - you're right, WMP gets artwork from AMG and itunes locks you into the itunes store. But that is another thread!
oops, I meant to ask if you have read this iLounge article and understand the difference between itunes library content vs itunes library database

Move itunes from one computer to another computer

I have load 100's of CD's to my itunes. I have now purchased a new computer and would like to know how I can move these from the old to the new computer. When I attach my IPOD it requests if I would like to load those file purchased from ITUNES only. Therefore I need to understand how this can be done from CD's I purchased and loaded?

Move the iTunes library to a shared area and then into the desired location. If this isn’t the default one, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose that library.

Moving Movie Rentals from one computer to another

Is there a way to transfer an iTunes movie rental from one computer to another. I purchased it on one laptop but wish to play the movie on another laptop. It does not show up in the list on the other computer even though it is a shared laptop

Sorry, but transferring a rental from one computer to another is not possible, at least not directly. It might be possible by transferring the rental to an iPod/iPhone and then transferring back to the second computer, though I don't know for sure.

HT1657 how do you move a movie rental from one computer to another computer

I rented a movie from iTunes and downloaded it to my Macbook Air.
I now want to watch it on my iMac, but it tells me its authorized to play on another computer.
FAQ says I need to move it from one computer to another.
How do I do this?

You may be able to move it by syncing it to an iPod or iOS device capable of playing it and then using the Transfer Purchases function; it won't play on the destination computer if moved in the normal way.
If it can't be moved that way, no.
If the MacBook Air isn't usable, ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault?

Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault? I use an external hard drive as a vault for my Imac and I want to import photos to my Macbook pro. I have aperture 3 on both units. Can I just plug the ext. drive into the laptop and import from the vault?

You can't import from the vault but you can restore that vault onto the MBP. This will restore the complete library that is contained in the vault.

I want to move ebooks from one computer to another.

I want to move ebooks from one computer to another. Both have Digital Editions installed. Older one 2.0 ver has books installed. Newer one has ver 3.0 no books installed. Both are authorized with the same user id. Do I have to upload from older machine to cloud first? How do I do that? Do I have to manually transfer files? How do I do that? Can I get pointed to online directions someplace?

Figured it out. Copy files to new computer and add to library from digital additions. duh. Why was it some much easier to figure out answer once I posted the question?

How do I transfer iTunes from one computer to another?

How do I transfer iTunes from one computer to another?

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).

Can I transfer an iTunes movie rental from one computer to another?

A movie I rented on one PC with iTunes Windows won't transfer to my main PC. I'm using the latest version of iTunes and Windows 7.
I also have an iPhone 4s with iOS 6. I can't transfer the movie rental there either.
(I want the movie on my main PC, because only that PC will show it on my TV. Both PC's are suthorized.
Help!

Sorry, but rentals cannot be transferred from one computer to another. Unless someone's found a trick I haven't seen, if you want the rental on your main PC, you'll have to pay to rent it again. As to transferring the rental to your iPhone, see:
