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

    You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
    You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
    There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

  • I have the computer with my itunes library on it but no longer have access to the email account the library was set up with. How can I transfer the library to a new appleid/email?

    I have the computer that holds my itunes library. However, I no longer have access to the email account (and therefore apple account) it was set up with so can't sync/update etc. How can I transfer the library to my new apple id? Any help gratefully received as searched the internet but can't find the answer!
    Have ipod touch 4th gen, ipod touch 5th gen and ipod nano 7th gen all to sync to library.

    Hi Stillme,
    You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another. You need to go into the old Apple ID and change it to the new email address instead of using a new Apple ID altogether.
    Apple - My Apple ID
    If you can't remember the password to the old ID, then click on Reset your Password, and answer the Security Questions. If you can't remember the Security Questions, contact iTunes Support and have them reset:
    APPLE ID SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
    Once you get into your old account, Edit the Apple ID to your new email address. Before you will be able to do that you are going to have to change the email address on the new Apple ID to something else.
    Cheers,

  • After the latest upgrade, I can't transfer my library audiobook cd's from my computer to my iPod so I can listen to the book. The book shows up on my computer, but not on my iPod.

    After the last upgrade, I can't transfer my library audiobook cd's from my computer to my iPod so that I can listen to the book. It seems to be transferring but
    doesn't show up on my iPod. How do I find the transferred files on my iPod Classic 60GB? Help! I've done this thousands of times before, and this is the 1st
    time I've had a problem, so I'm suspecting the upgrade.

    For non-purchased music like CD ripped songs, you need some third party software like sharepod, yamipod or iPod file manager to copy them from iPod back to computer. if you need details, here is a guide about how to copy iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • Can't open shared library .../libnmemso.sl

    Hi,
    I have RAC with 2 nodes of 10.2.0.3 on ASM, platform is HP-UX 11.11.
    On both nodes I've installed EM agent (version 10.2.0.3) by entering command
    ./agentDownload.hpunix -b /opt/oracle -c "node1,node2" -n CLUSTER_NAME -l
    EM shows only some part of information about both instances and no information about OS and platform. Also I see message "java.lang.Exception: No such metric" on page of this cluster.
    Also there are errors in emagent.trc of agents on both nodes:
    fetchlets: Could not load library '/opt/oracle/agent10g/lib32/libnmefos.sl' for reason 'Can't open shared library: /opt/oracle/agent10g/lib32//libnmemso.sl'
    Both libraries are exist and available for reading.
    Is there any workaround or fix about this?
    Thanks in advance.

    can you paste the installaction log

  • ITunes can't access shared library when Vista parental controls are on

    I started a thread back on March 1 2008, but it got archived before it could be answered, see:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1420673&tstart=0
    I'm using 64 bit Vista with iTunes version of 8.0.2.20, but I don't believe this issue has anything to do with the 64 bit versus 32 bit iTunes versions.
    The exact message is:
    "The shared library "libraryname" is not responding. (-39)
    Check that any firewall software running on either the shared computer or this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689."
    But if I turn off Parental Controls, the shared library is accessible, it all works fine. This has nothing to do with the iTunes store (and potential web site blocking), I just want to allow shared library access while leaving parental controls on.
    Any ideas?

    This question has been around for almost two years now with no answer...very frustrating and disappointing that no one from Apple can step in and assist. I have set up the port number on my firewalls, both Windows and McAfee, as per the iTunes message and it still does not work...so I am now at a loss.
    Turn off parental conrols and it all works perfectly...turn it on and library is visible but not accessible...PLEASE can someone help with this!!!
    Thanks.

  • Can't access shared library to import.  Why?

    When trying to access sharing, library will not come up in iTunes so that it can be imported.  Can anyone tell me why?

    Rebel,
    iTunes has two kinds of sharing:  regular sharing, which allows listening but not copying, and Home Sharing, which does allow copying. 
    Make sure you are using Home Sharing, and that both computers are authorized to the relevant account.

  • Itunes 11, can't find shared library

    Have to say.... so far I'm not very happy with itunes 11. A lot of what used to be intuitive is now cryptic.
    I guess along that line...
    I have a sizable library of music & vids on my main system that used to be easily accessible from my macbook's itunes. It simply showed up in the sidebar as a shared library. Nothing on the main system has changed. It's still set up for sharing....
    How can I get itunes on my macbook to do what it used to do... to display shared libraries??????
    Thanks.

  • How can I transfer iTunes library to a new Apple ID?

    I have a substantial quantity of music in iTunes on a old lap top. All the music has been put on to my iPod. None of it was purchased from iTunes but was uploaded from CD's. I have since moved from the UK to France with a new lap top and now have a new e-mail address. The old email address which is now defunct, was assigned to the iTunes account on the old laptop. I downloaded iTunes on to my new laptop and assigned a Frecnh email to it. I want to get rid of the old lap top, but need to transfer the library to the new Apple ID. I have tried to change my Apple ID on the old laptop to match the one I am currently using but do not appear to be able to do so as Apple will not permit me to used the email address assigned to the new account. Is there any way to transfer the library over?

  • HT1589 how can i transfer my library to a new computer? old computer is not working

    how can i transfer my i-tunes library to a new computer? my old computer is not working.

    It has alwasy been very basic to always maintain a backup copy.  Have you failed to do this?  not good.
    You would have to take the hard drive out of your old computer and connect it to your new and transfer the info.
