  • How can I transfer itunes library from old pc to new imac?

    I just got a new iMac and am trying to transfer iTunes library from old PC (barely running) to new iMac.  I tried through Home Sharing but couldn't find how to sync.  Is it necessary to get Firewire?  Or should I sync it from my iPad?  I'd like to avoid the middleman.  Thanks!

  • Can you stream iTunes library from Time Capsule to a MacBook if you're connected to the internet anywhere in the world?

    I want to buy a MacBook Air but the flash storage means not enough space for all my movies and music. Instead of carrying around an extra harddrive, I'd rather make the Time Capsule my external harddrive. Most of the time when I access it it will be from my house, but say I'm just out and about and connected to the internet...assuming my Time Capsule is on, can I use it as basically a cloud device and stream my iTunes movies and music to my computer?

    Probably not unless you have a super speed internet connection.. most people on adsl have 1mbit upload connection or less. you cannot stream movies over 1mbit.. I doubt you can even stream music. Actual throughput is only 800kbit/s...
    That is why you store things in the cloud.. you download speed from cloud is much high than upload to it.
    That is unless you have a super high speed, fibre connection to your home??
    It is certainly possible.. if you have enough bandwidth.. 99.999% of people don't.

  • Tried to use home sharing to transfer itunes library from old pc to new -- however it only brings over the music, did not bring audiobooks- My question is do I need to delete itunes from my new pc when I redo using external hard drive

    Trying to transfer iTunes library from old windows 7 pc to new windows 8.1.  Used home sharing, but not what I wanted, I want everything on the new so I can discard the old pc -  so now all I have is my music library on new pc thru the cloud none of my Audible audiobooks came over - My question is do I need to delete iTunes off my new pc before I load it in from a external hard drive?

    You might need to make sure neither is going to sleep (System Prefs > Energy Saver)
    Also check your settings under System Prefs > Security. My sisters new laptop kept logging off due to some setting there.

  • Can i transfer itunes purchase from one of my accounts to another of my accounts?

    can i transfer itunes purchases from one of my accounts to another of my accounts?

    No, all iTunes purchases will remain tied to the account that downloaded them, they can't be transferred to a different account (nor can accounts be merged).

  • Just got an imac and am trying to transfer itunes library from Dell pc via home share method. All goes well but directions say to click the import button.  I don't see an import button anywhere. If I close itunes on pc it also disappears from imac.

    Just got an imac and am trying to transfer itunes library from dell pc using home share method.  All goes well until the end when directions say to click import button.  I don't see one anywhere.  If I shut down itunes in the pc the library also disappears from the imac.  Am I doing something wrong?

    check the lower right corner of the iTunes window
    if you don't see this while the homeshared library is loaded, home sharing hasn't been set up properly.

    no.
    that's expected behavior.

  • Can I transfer the photos from mac to external hard disc which is used for pc too

    can I transfer the photos from mac to external hard disc which is used for pc too

    A FAT32 drive can't store files which are 4GB or larger. You need to reformat or repartition the drive to include an exFAT, NTFS, or Mac OS Extended volume, or use a different drive, or use a way other than an external drive to transfer it.

  • Can I transfer itunes library to mac from Windows PC via Home Sharing?

    I'm trying to transfer my itunes library from my Windows PC to my Macbook via Home Sharing. I followed all the steps in the KB and everything was looking fine, but I can't get the import button to enable, if there something that won't allow this from a Windows PC?

    Yes, no.  You can transfer your media files with Home Sharing but your library is more than media files.  It's your playlists, ratings, playcount, etc.  To transfer that:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168 
    Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
    If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • How can I transfer iTunes backup from my external hard drive to a USB thumb drive via my MacBook Air?

    I sold my MacBook Pro to downsize to a more managable MacBook Air. I backed up iTunes to my external HD before selling my Pro, but don't have room for my whole library to the Air until I upgrade the size of my SSD. I want to see if I can transfer just the iTunes library from my external HD to a thumb drive using my MacBook.
    Also, is there a way to manage and edit my iTunes library on my external HD so I can at least download some of the library to my Air?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    Regards.

  • Transfer iTunes library from Windows 7 PC to new Macbook Pro

    Had a Dell computer that had a failed video card. So I purchased a 13-inch Macbook Pro as a replacement. How do I transfer my iTunes purchases from my Windows 7 x64 PC to an OS X Lion Macbook Pro? Will need to move my entire iTunes library as well (ripped music as well as iTunes purchased music and Apps). I also have several iPods and iPads that I'll need to authorize on the Macbook that used to be authorized on the Windows 7 PC. I guess I'll have to deauthorize my old Dell computer in order for my iTunes purchases to be recognized on the Macbook (can still access the computer, just the resolution is bad)?
    On my Dell, I've had to reinstall the OS a few times (upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 x32 then Windows 7 x64, and a few OS crashes, etc.) so not sure how many times I've had to authorize my purchases (think the limit is 5 times?).
