Why is the "Import" button grey when I'm trying to transfer music from one computer to another using Home Sharing?

Hi lexipuppy,
I dont know if you have your music on your other computer was on itunes, but if it was, make sure that you signed into your itunes account on your other computer. If you are signed in then your music should show up in your library.

Hi, what is the name of the software that iTunes uses to enable you to transfer music from one computer to another that has already been purchased? I know that it costs money and its not iCloud. Any help would be great. Thanks

How to transfer music from one computer to another when they are at 2 diffe

yes hi I was wondering how do i get music off of my one computer to another when they are in two different homes. they are both authorized to my account but i have music on one that i want on my other. can anyone please help.

Hello!
To have same library on both of your authorized machines, you need first locate, on both of them, the iTunes Media Folder location (Preferences > Advanced) then you need make them syncronized. How to do this, will exists some tools, I will not go further about that stuff, you can google them... back to topic:
After you do any change to the files content of one library, you can just drag and drop the media folder on iTunes, it will rescan the library itself and update all changes you made.
Be aware if your machines are authorized on multiple accounts, you need be logged on store with the account used to purchase any drm-enabled song you want to listen.

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.

TS2972 why is the import button not showing at the button right hand corner of iTunes?

The iphone is not a storage/backup device.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to purchase a third partyn program to get the rest ( not supported by Apple)

Asking if I want to locate the original file I just clicked on. I did move my music from one computer to another and am now getting this error on about 50% of my music. HELP! Suggestions?

ERROR when I click on newly moved music files.
"The song ______ can not be used because the original file can not be found. Do you want to locate it?"
Help!
I moved my itunes files from one computer to the other and now I'm getting this error on about 50% of my songs when I click on them.

Moving a library from machine to another can require some preparation if it is to go smoothly.
As long as the files are organized within a media folder in a way that is vaguley consistent with iTunes, i.e. folders for artists, with subfolders for albums, then my FindTracks script might be able to relink the files.

Can you transfer music from one iPod to another (that having one of them set up as a NEW iPod and not signed in with the first) through iTunes on the computer?

My mom has an iPod 2nd gen. I have been using it this whole time until Christmas. I got an iPod 5th gen. We listen to the same type of music and hers is on iTunes on the computer. I want to have my own iPod (set up as new) not set up with her account. But I do not want to re-buy all of the music that is already on her iPod. Is there a way that I can transfer all of her music from iTunes on the computer to my iPod (using the computer). If so, then how? and if not, is there another way that is possible other than logging my iPod in with her account?

Copy the music for the old iPod to his computer by:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
Then sync the new iPod to that computer.

How do you transfer PSE from one computer to another when the original purchase was on line without a disc?

I have PSE10 on a WindowsXP machine that I upgraded from PSE8. The upgrade was done with a download; no disc. The only disc I have is the PSE8 version. I now have a new Windows 8 machine. How can I get the PSE10 program onto the new Windows 8 machine? I will also need to transfer the organizer information. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Hi there,
              I see that you have informed 2 things:
              1. Upgraded OS WindowsXP to Windows8
              2. Do not have installation media Disc for PSE10 as you purchsed as download.
              1. Please note: PSE10 is not compatible with Windows8, it's not tested on this OS, however you can try working on this, in case if you face any issue it will be extremely hard to get it resolved,
              so I would still suggest you go with Windows 7 in case if you have it. For Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 System Requirement visit [ System requirements | Adobe Photoshop Elements ]
              2. Mostly downloads are provided by directly Adobe, so you can directly login to your adobe.com account and download the software from there, you only need to have the installation media of current version software,
                  When you try to activate the PSE10, you need to enter the serial number of PSE10, as it's an upgrade, you will be asked for it's previous qualifying serial number of PSE8.
                  ......................If you need help in finding serial number, please visit [ Find your serial number quickly ]
                -> In case if it's purchased from a reseller, you may not get the download now, for that you have have [ Other downloads ]

How do I transfer bookmarks from one computer to another without using the sync feature?

I have used the Belkin transfer cable which did not transfer the bookmarks. I can't find them on my C Drive. I'd like to transfer them manually using a thumb drive but can't without locating the file with the bookmarks.
Firefox and its bookmarks are on the original computer. At this time I can't use the synch function, but must manually transfer the bookmarks. How do I recognize in the files and copy on an external device and then transfer

Ctrl+Shift+B will open the show all bookmarks window
and on the top of that it has an import/export menu using this you can export all your bookmarks into a file either as html or as a json
you can then do the reverse on another PC
does that help?

It says 'autorisation is need to access...' when I transfer music from one laptop to another using Home Sharing

When I go to transfer my library from my old netbook running XP to my new one running Windows 7, I get a message after all the library is transfered saying 'autorisation is need to access...' on all the transfered files. I managed to successfully transfer a few hundred files but my laptop restarted when my anti-virus updated and since then I havnt been able to transfer anything else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't bother with HomeSharing.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
