From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
Also... have a look at these 2 Videos...

  • HT4914 Can I use iTunes Match to transfer music from an iPhone4 to a new iPhone5s? I'm traveling without my laptop!

    Can I use iTunes Match to transfer music from an iPhone4 to a new iPhone5s? I'm traveling without my laptop!
    - Music was purchased outside of iTunes store
    - On a vacation
    - iPhone 4 has all my music
    - No access to iTunes
    - Want to buy a new iPhone 5s on vacation but this is holding me back

    Honestly, I've never used iTunes Match.
    Keep in mind that iTunes Match is only for music, any other media content would not be affected.
    Also, pictures synced to the device from a computer will not be moved over unless the new device is restored from a backup on that computer.
    Personaly, unless the current iPhone was damaged or otherwise acting as if on it's last leg, I'd wait.  There may be better options in 3 months.

  • Using 6G mini to transfer 21GB library to new computer

    My mini is only 6G but my library is 22GB. How do I use the mini to transfer the entire library to a new computer?

    Delete all the songs off of the iPod and then enable for disk use, copy the first 6GB of music files (make sure files) to the iPod then connect to the other computer. Once connected drag and drop the music files to new desktop or make a folder for them. after doing this until all 22GB are over then in Itunes select import and choose the folder you made that you dumped the 22GB of music files into.

    To completely ensure your ipod is empty, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
    This completely erases the iPod hard drive.

  • Can I use my iPhone to transfer my library from one computer to another?

    I would like to transfer my iTunes library from my desktop to my laptop. Is there an easy way to do this by using my iPhone? I found instructions for how to do it with an iPod but I wasn't sure if that would be the same for iPhone.

    Here's an article that may help. As roaminggnome said, you cannot use the iPhone for this.

  • How can I use iTunes Match on two different accounts on same computer?

    What happens if I enable iTunes Match in a different account on my Mac Pro.  I am already set up with iTunes Match because I was travelling and I wanted to use my iPhone on the road but not fill up the storage.  I turned off iTunes Match in my primary account (user of course) becuase I have all the "original" music in that library. I have another account though that I would also like to be able to use just some of the music at different times.  I have a separate account for using Final Cut Pro X.
    So, would ITunes Match be the solution I am looking for?  iCloud status gives me all of the music I have purchased but it is short about 800 music files.

    I know that.  When I talk of accounts I mean user accounts on the Mac Pro.  I am looking for a solution that wil keep iTunes libraries, playlist, etc insync between two user accounts on the computer.

  • Help; Using iTunes match to transfer from iPad to new PC

    Regarding iTunes match. My PC crashed and the only other place I have my library is on my iPad (shame on me). I bought iTunes match last night to upload my library from my iPad so I could get it onto my new PC, but when I went to turn Match on in my iPad, it said it will delete over my existing library and replace it with songs in the cloud.  I DO NOT WANT THIS to happen! The iPad is the place I want to transfer FROM.  Of course my purchases are there in the cloud, but Match is for sharing/transferring all music, including burned cd collections, which is the majority of what I have. I don't dare turn on Match unless I know that my music library (and burned cd collection) on the iPad will FIRST be uploaded to the cloud and THEN written over.  It says this nowhere on Apple pages.  Please please help.

    Hi,
    iiTunes match scans your library on your computer not your ipad. So you will need to transfer your music from your ipad to your computer. If your music has not been added to your computers library, you are likely to lose music on your ipad.
    You will need an app to do the transfer. This doc may help Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

  • Hi I can not use my photo shop, since I bought my new computer, can you help

    Hi, can some one help me ? Thank you

    Sure we can help you but you need to tell us more what exactly you are doing.  To use Photoshop Elements is all about using mouse clicks on the right icons.  You are talking about Photoshop Elements right?
    Good luck.

  • Can I use itunes to put album artwork on the Zen

    I use itunes to play music on my comp and I was wondering if the artwork I have saved in itunes will work on the Zen M.

    I know I can't use itunes as a transfer program. Ok let me reword it. I have been using itunes for like 3 years now, and I just get all of my album artwork from that. Will the artwork be on the Zen after I put the music on it using their software?

  • TS2972 can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

    can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

    You are trying to use home sharing, you are logged into the same account for sharing on both computers (and they are connected to the same wifi network), and what happens when you try to copy your library ? Can you update your iTunes so that they are the same on both ?

  • Using iTunes *just* to transfer music to the iPod?

    More iTunes frustrations...
    As my original hard disk is nearly full, I've installed a second hard drive (let's call it G:); this is where I intend to keep my music files for use by my Squeezebox.
    Before installing iTunes, I copied the contents of My Music to G:\My Music. The idea was to let iTunes loose on the original set, doing whatever it has to; then transfer the results to the iPod; then delete the original set and (somehow!) persuade iTunes to leave them on the iPod. After this, I would put files onto the iPod by transcoding FLAC files in G: to mp3 files somewhere else, then dragging them onto the iPod; then deleting them from the hard disk. (I'm not bothered about having anything in sync with the iPod.)
    This is now beginning to look like a forlorn dream .
    First problem: when I installed iTunes, I am pretty **** sure I told it only to look in My Documents\My Music; yet it seems to be full of references to files on G:. Curiously, only a selective set, not even all tracks from some albums; it's as if it populated itself by reading playlists rather than folders. (Yet I've checked: none of my playlists under My Documents refers to G:) So why on earth did it add files from G: to its library?
    Second problem: I told iTunes not to convert my WMA files during setup. This would create AAC copies in my iTunes folder, and my disc is nearly full. But iTunes still added the WMA files to its library; and now whenever I sync with the iPod, iTunes hangs for about 10 minutes while it works out that it can't transfer all these WMA files. Is there an easy way to delete them from iTunes? I do NOT want to have to go through track-by-track, as there are several thousand of them.
    Third problem: for use with the Squeezebox, I've added artwork to each album as a JPEG file in the album folder. For the many albums I have that are not found in the iStore, all I seem to be able to do is to select all the tracks of each album, do Get Info, then drag the JPEG into the Artwork box. Again, this isn't something I want to have to do for several hundred albums. Is there really no way to tell iTunes to get the artwork for each album from a file in the album folder?
    Fourth problem: I thought that I could select a large number of tracks and do "Get Artwork" from the iStore, so at least some of the above tedium could be avoided. But if I select more than a screenful or two of tracks (in the with-artwork view), then Get Artwork just hangs after 5 albums or so. I can still use iTunes for other things, but now Get Artwork won't work until I quit iTunes and restart.
    Fifth problem: trying to switch the iPod to "manually managed" has resulted in its entire contents being replaced with one album when I dragged-and-dropped it onto the iPod icon. (See my earlier post on this.)
    Sixth problem: if - as it looks - iTunes did populate itself by reading my .m3u playlists, why didn't it recreate the playlists themselves? I've built up a large number of playlists for use with both the Squeezebox and our Zens, so it'll be a pain to have to recreate those by hand in iTunes. Can it really not do this?
    I'm seriously considering uninstalling iTunes, wiping its library, then doing whatever it takes to make sure that it only finds music when I want it to! But I thought I was already doing that; and I don't plan to go through very many wipe-and-restart iterations!
    Yes, this looks like a bit of a moaning list; but I need to decide fairly quickly whether I'm going to return my iPod because it doesn't fit in with how I want to organise and use my music. (I also need to test the iPod itself to see if it fits my requirements as a player; there are some surprising shortcomings compared to my old Zen Touch, but it's possible I just haven't learned the interface yet.)
    Perhaps I should consider trying something other than iTunes, such as Anapod; might it be a better match for my requirements? (My wife and I already use Notmad for our Zens, and think it's far better than Creative's own tools.)

    Second problem: I told iTunes not to convert my WMA
    files during setup. This would create AAC copies in
    my iTunes folder, and my disc is nearly full. But
    iTunes still added the WMA files to its library; and
    now whenever I sync with the iPod, iTunes hangs for
    about 10 minutes while it works out that it can't
    transfer all these WMA files. Is there an easy way
    to delete them from iTunes? I do NOT want to have to
    go through track-by-track, as there are several
    thousand of them.
    OK, answering one of my own questions: I realised that I can add a "Kind" column to the tracks view, then order on that. This puts all the WMA tracks together, so I can select them all and then hit Delete.
    If only the remainder didn't look so few.
    I've yet to see what will happen when I sync my iPod...
