Can I get someone to move my iTunes library for me?

Old PC, new laptop. Tried to move iTunes library of 3200 songs to new laptop. Followed the procedure for doing so by using my 30 GB iPod as the transfer device. Have now failed twice at it. Always end up with an empty iTunes library on new laptop AND empty iPod.
I am no longer looking for advice on doing this. It would be WAY too easy for me to do something permanent and bad.
My question is: Can I pay someone to do this for me? If so, where? Apple, Best Buy, Circuit City? Does anyone have experience in paying for this service?
I am located in the Northern VA/DC area and can certainly bring everything TO somebody.
Thank you,
Eric

Eric, welcome to discussions! I'm assuming your laptop is a PC, if so try iPodAgent for Windows, you should be able to find it on versiontracker.com. It's probably freeware. If your laptop should happen to be a Mac, then check for iPodRip on versiontracker. I have personal experience with iPodRip moving everything from my iPod to a new iMac back in October, it was extremely easy & recovered everything. Post back if you have any questions.
If your not comfortable trying any of these 3rd party apps, I assume Best Buy in your area has the "Geek Squad", you might try them.

    Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.

  • How can I get my music from my Itunes library after I replaced my hard drive?

    How can I get my music from my Itunes library (purchased and downloaded (CD)) after I replaced my hard drive?  Same account name.  My other computer see's old and new music.  Can purchace new songs.  They show up by themselves.  Can connect IPOD and old songs show up.  Seem's like they are defined as different accounts.

    They will only be where you put them.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • How can I get an HD movie from iTunes store to play on original iPad

    I recently purchased an HD movie--Brave--from the iTunes store.  I'm trying to play on my original iPad (iPad 1), but iTunes refuses to synch it because it says it is an unsupported format.  The movie is in 1080p format.  I typically get both HD and SD formats when I purchase movies, but iTunes no longer downloads the SD version automatically when I purchase the HD version.  I attempted to get an SD version from the store, but it said I already purchased the movie and instructed me to check the downloads.  There is no SD download pending and a check for new downloads was fruitless.
    Can someone confirm that the original iPad is unable to play HD video?  I imagine it is the 1080p that's the problem.  Can anyone confirm that 720p would work?  Is there no longer a means to get both HD and SD when purchasing a movie from the iTunes store?  If there is, how?
    Thanks for your help.
    Jamie

    You can get the SD or 720p version by:
    Open iTunes 11
    Click iTunes in menu bar > select Preferences...
    Click on the Store tab
    Change When downloading High Definition videos, prefer dropdown to 720p > click OK
    Click on the iTunes Store button
    Click Purchased link
    Click Movies tab
    You should now see a download icon for the movies you already have 1080p version of.
    Click on this download icon to download the 720p version.
    This will put a 720p version in the same folder on your hard drive as the 1080p version.  If you have iTunes setup to play 1080p when available, it will play the 1080p version.  When you connect your iPad 1, it will sync the 720p version.
    Don't forget to change your preference back to 1080p so you can continue to get the higher quality version.

  • Itunes 12 can't import shared home movie to iTunes library

    HI. I am trying to import, or add to my desktop iTunes library, a shared home movie. I have file sharing turned on with both my laptop and desktop. I can see, from my desktop, the shared home movies, and I can even play them, but I cannot find an option to import them into the desktop library. I use my desktop to sync my iPad and ultimately I want to add the movies to my iPad. How do I import a shared home movie from my laptop to desktop, not just see it and play it from sharing?

    Join the crowd. If you search this and other forums on the web, you'll find that Home Sharing has limited functionality on PC and Mixed PC-Mac networks. It works fine, Mac to Mac, it appears, but PC's seem unable to talk to Macs or one another on many, many, many people's home shared networks. I hope that Apple finds a way to improve this aspect of iTunes or at least expands its troubleshooting recommendations in the support database.

  • Can't get rid of movie in Itunes

    Recently purchase macbook pro off friend.
    On my itunes, the movie tab shows that I have one movie file in it. When I click onto it, it says zero items.
    On the itunes Media folder, there is also no movie file as well.
    However when I sync my iphone with Itunes, on the sync movie section I can see the file.
    How to get rid of the file without having to restart/re-download Itunes?

    If it is showing in smart playlist then the file is still there. Right click and get info for the file. Look up the location of the file to find it.

  • HT1143 i can't get my rented movie from itunes to play on my t.v through Apple t.v.

    Why won't the movie that I rented from itunes play on my t.v.?

    Try this. Swipe to the right from your home screen to bring up the search feature. Type in the name of one of the movies. If the move appears in the search - tap it to begin playing. Let it play for a few minutes. Then hit done. Go to the videos app and see if the movies are there now.
    You can also look in the iPod app and see if the movies show up there. If so, tap on the movie to play.

  • I just purchased music on apple TV and can't get it synched to my iTunes library on laptop..help?

    Any help here would be appreciated

    In iTunes go to the store Home Page section with the little house icon.
    On far right in Quicklinks section go to Purchased and you should be able to download purchases.
    AppleTV 2/3 don't sync as such nor do they store 'downloads'.

  • Can I import (MUSIC.wma) in my iTunes Library, for my iPod?

    Can I import (MUSIC.wma) into iTunes for an iPod Touch? I know somethinig about formating that may just ignore the import, see my grandmother had got an iPod, and she not only want's her CD's on it, she just wan'ts to know if she can play her windows music collection, with the extention .wma  into iTunes . . . if any of you all know if it's possible without having to use any particular third party application please feel free to answer . . 

    I think so.  iTunes' help says that iTunes can convert WMA files to other formats. The iPod supports:
    Audio formats supported: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV
