bought a new pc window 7
now i want to move my itune library to the new pc
old is infected with virus
show me how to move only itune library?

First Get a big flash drive or external Hard Drive, depending on the size of your library. Then, go to where your music library is located on your old PC and copy the itunes folder and paste it in that external hard drive or flash drive. Take that to your new computer, and on itunes go to file and press add to library and select the folder with all of your music in it from that external hard drive or flash drive you saved it to. Make sure under itunes preferences, in the advanced section that the "copy files to itunes media" button is checked.

I have 75Gb in ITunes and a 60Gb Ipod and want to move Itunes to a new PC!

Dear All
Apologies to all if this is an easy question and I am clogging up the forum, but I cant seem to find help anywhere for this scenario!
I have 75Gb in Itunes on an old Win XP Pro PC, and want to move it to my new Win XP Pro PC. However, I only have a 60gb Ipod. How do I move it(other than spending the next 2 weeks burining it to discs!!)?
Thanks for your help and patience in advance!
Regards
Chris

There are a few things you could do, networking the two computers is probably the most straightforward. Have a look at this User Tip: Migrating iTunes for Windows to a new PC
If you can network the computers there is also this one: Copying songs over a network to use with iTunes for Windows

New MacBook Pro User wanting to move iTunes Music Only over from PC

Hi All,
This weekend I purchased my first MacBook Pro and loving every minute of it... Makes me wonder why I hadn't moved to Mac's a long time aago, and really seeing the difference between Windows and its slugishness to Mac and its "PERFORMANCE"!
However, with that asside what I am trying to find out is how do I move my purhcased only iTunes files from my PC to my MacBook Pro?
For example, I have some iTunes purchases like Celine Dion's last CD with digital artwork album and stuff in my iTunes on my PC. But because my iTunes library is so old it also has some songs which are in MP3 format from my earlier Creative Labs Zen device. What I want to really do is move those iTunes only purchases with artwork and movies from my PC to my MacBook to enjoy (which include movies as well).
Can anyone advise how this can be done without replacing my entire iTunes folder on the MacBook? I really don't want to have to purchase all of these songs again, but again would like to keep the artwork and movies all attached as they should be on the Mac world.
Basically I'm trying to keep the MacBook as the master owner of my digital iTunes purchases from here on out!
While I know I might be a little "AR" (the last word is retentive, you can figure out what the A stands for)... This would be my ultimate goal...
I've seen some articles on how to do this with iTunes 7, but again know some things have changed and modified with the 8 versions.
Thanks in advance

Take a look here; it should help:
iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
Though it refers to items purchased from the iTunes Store, it applies to all your iTunes content. And if you happen to also own an iPod:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
Once you have the tracks on some removable medium, you can mount that on your new computer and then just drag the content to the iTunes window. Make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced -> General preferences before you do. Alternatively, you can use the Add To Library command and select each track (or folder of tracks).
If you won't be using that Windows system once you move the content, don't forget to deauthorize the system from your iTunes Store account before you dispose of the computer.
Regards.

Want to Move iTunes library to external drive & access from home & work

I want to move my Windows iTunes library to my new external drive and be able to access my music library from my work computer and my home computer. I have read some discussions here about move libraries and I have some concerns:
1. What is the best solution to the problems people reported about iTunes Helper changing the drive letter back to C: if they booted the computer without the external drive connected?
2. Can I buy music and make playlists from both computers and not run into problems?
3. Any other advice to avoid gotchas?
Thanks,
Mark

If the drive is formatted NTFS, the Mc will not write to it. You need a driver installed to write to NTFS.
Or refomrat the drive to FAT32/MSDOS and it'll work fine.
If you have the entire iTunes folder on the external, connect it to your Mac, hold Option, launch iTunes and select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
Note that the iTunes versions need to be the same between computers.

Want to move Itunes and Ipod to other Mavc

Hi
I Love my Macbook pro, but I'm filling it to the brim with stuff for my 80G Ipod. I need to get back the space.
I have a nice G5 with a lot of hard drive space, I use it just to make DVD's of home movies. I originally stored songs on the laptop, because when I travelled I wanted my music library. Then I got my Ipod, so thats not neccessary. The Library could stay at home.
The content I want to move is all MP3's ripped from my own CD library, and some podcasts, and a few IPOD games.
I do have external USB drives I could use.
Thank you,
Joe

ITunes Windows XP, want to move music to my Window mobile 6.1 HTC Ozone

I purchased a gift card so I could download music and ringtones and put them on my phone. I am using iTunes on my Windows XP PC.
It appears there is no itunes application for Windows Mobile and from what I am reading I cannot play them on another application because of a proprietary format. Am I missing something? Did I waste my money?

C drive full - want to move itunes to D drive

Hi,
my daughters C drive on her laptop is nearly full (only 5gb free). She would like to move her itunes library to the D drive, which is still practically empty.
Can anyone please advise how to go about moving her itunes from C to D drive, as seamlessly as possible.
We are depending on you geniuses out there.

I just moved my entire music folder to my c drive from my external using apples recommended method and this one worked much better. (thank you)Instead of just importing the xml file and the itl file, I moved the entire folder previously and even though I kept setting the itunes new location, as soon as the external drive was removed the tunes were not found. By coping the *.itl file and the *.xml file to the itunes folder ie; my music\itunes music folder
itunes actually found all the music and re-pointed to it using your hold down the shift key method. I renamed the previous itl and xml files to bakitl and bakitl just incase I wanted to revert. Thanks again for tip. cc

Want to move itunes libary files

Is there no way to move the itunes library files, "iTunes Library.itl" and "iTunes Music Library.xml"? They are in a very stupid location on my computer, (a folder that should be used exclusively for work). I would really like to get the iTunes library files moved to a more appropriate folder, (the library itself is located on a removeable hard disk).

Using TweakUI to Move or Create Your Library/My Music Location
Use TweakUI (See: ’Disk is locked’ or ‘iTunes folder cannot be found’ when installing or opening iTunes ) to create a 'My Music' folder in a spot where you desire. iTunes should then find this location and deposit its Library files there, and the 'iTunes' folder and sub-folders as well (if you direct it to).
First, see this Article for some background information: What are the iTunes Library files?
If you cannot see the ‘My Music’ folder within the TweakUI drop-down selection, proceed on to the following:
1 On the start menu go to ‘Run’
2 Type in RegEdit
3 Navigate in RegEdit to HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
4 Delete any entry for ‘My Music’
5 Navigate up the tree to HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
6 Make sure there is an entry for ‘My Music’ and is pointing to C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\My Music (you can edit the value by double clicking it)
7 Close RegEdit
8 Reboot
iTunes &/or TweakUI should now be able to find the folder.

New windows 8 laptop, old xp laptop want to move to new computer.

Popular question over the years.
Want to move itunes program (or does it require a new install?) and all music, podcasts and video from xp to windows 8 computer.
Old information in multiple threads is sometimes conflicting and contradictory.
Can I and do I move the program and all the contents at one time or does it require making a new program install on the win8 machine and then moving contents from xp machine to win8 machine?
What about deauthorizing the xp machine? Necessary?
If it is necessary, at what time in the process is this done?
How is it done?
Thanks all.

Create a new program install, click here, pick the option which best fits your situation, and deauthorize the old computer.

Move Itunes, Music and Podcast to a new PC

I want to move ITunes software, Music and Podcast from a Windows XP to a Windows 7 PC and keep the Podcast and Music? I don't want the IPod Shuffle to be resync. It wants to clear the Podcast and Music that's on the IPod Shuffle.

This document describes some methods.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
The most precise and efficient method is the one named External drive. If you are proficient in networking Windows computers, you can use the same method and transfer the files over a network connection, instead of using an external drive. NOTE: Depending on network speed, using an external drive may still be faster.
Although there are many steps in the document, I'll summarize how it works.
There is a folder called iTunes in your computer's user data Music folder. By default, they are located here (for Windows)
Win XP - \Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Win 7 - \Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
If you are using the standard (default) iTunes settings, that is good, because ALL of your iTunes data is in that iTunes folder. You are copying that complete iTunes folder to an external drive.
On the new computer, after you install iTunes and run it at least once, it also has an iTunes folder. From the external drive, (with iTunes NOT running) you are replacing that new iTunes folder with the existing iTunes folder from your old PC. The next time you run iTunes on your new PC, it uses the iTunes folder from your old PC and iTunes should look like it did on your old PC, with all the content. Since it's the same iTunes library, the iPod should not need a "resync."
When you read the long detailed procedure in the document, you can keep my summary in mind so that you "see the big picture." If you are not using the default iTunes settings, the document covers what to do. You can post back with any specific questions.

How do I move iTunes to a new external drive?

I just got an external hard drive and want to move iTunes and all associated files (music, TV shows, movies, etc) to the new drive which is labeled as my F:\ drive. How do I do this?

I have changed the path as per the article, as well as consolidated the library. I also deleted the original copies of the music files off the C:\ drive. I also found in that same folder "Previous iTunes Library" - about 6 of them - all .itl files and dated going back to 2004. I'm assuming they are from previous versions of iTunes as I've upgraded to newer version. Do I need these Previous Libraries? Or can they be deleted as well?

How do I move ITunes from my old PC to new laptop

I have a very old PC and want to move ITunes to a new laptop

Copy the iTunes Folder (not the iTunes Music Library folder) to an external drive then copy that folder to the new computer after you set up iTunes on it.

How do you move iTunes and songs from old PC to new PC?

I currently have iTunes installed on my work PC with Windows XP Pro. I want to move iTunes and all my songs to my home PC which is running Windows Vista Home Edition. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes to my home PC and need to figure out a way to move all my music from my work PC to my home PC. I tried backing up all my music to 2 CD-RW discs and then drag and drop them into iTunes on my home PC. The music shows up in iTunes but I am not able to play it in iTunes. Any ideas why? Is there a better way to move my music from one PC to another?

Have you seen this article about using your iPod to trnasfer your music:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
The same basic method works whatever storage device you use.
As for the CD Problem, do the tracks have excamation marks next to them in iTunes?
If So you may not have iTunes set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library" checked.
See Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced.
If this option was not checked, the files stayed on the CDS.
