Can you move all songs from external into itunes for a new comp?

I'm trying to get my whole library moved from an old computer onto the new computer. If i copy everything into the external drive, can I just copy it from the external into the itunes folders on the new computer? If so..which files should i be copying and where do I put them?

Jade did you get this worked out? My internal hardrive crashed so I lost all of itunes. But I have all my music copied on an external HD.

  • Can you Download all Songs from ITunes Match onto Computer without having to click every cloud

    I am preparing to cancel my iTunes match service as I have moved from Australia to the UK and want the UK iTunes store but I cannot transfer over untill ITunes Match is canceled and before I do this I want to put all cloud music onto my ITunes and wondered if there was a quick way to do this. I don't want to click on every cloud icon.
    iTunes is the PC version

    Go to Edit > Select All. This will select all the songs in your library. Then right-click and select "Download."

  • How can I get my songs from my old itunes to my new one?

    I've recently changed computers. I installed iTunes on my new laptop and I plugged my iPod into it, the songs I bought from iTunes were transferred but the others originally from CDs were not transferred. I don't know how to fix this and I have over a thousand songs so don't really want to install the all manually again.
    Thank you,
    Cherry.

  • HT1373 Why can't I transfer all the songs from iPad into iTune on my new Macbook Air?

    I've recently purchased the new Mackbook Air 2013 model , OSX MT 10.8.4 , iTunes 11.0.5
    And here's my problem, I connected my iPad to iTunes and thought all the songs
    would be transfered automatically to iTunes library, but appearantly only haf of them did with iCloud icons next to the song's name.
    Another thing that I noticed is that all the songs in the library are the ones I purchased on iPhone quite a while ago (I share iTunes account on both devices)
    but for those recently I purchased on iPad are just not there.
    So I'd like to ask you guys how to figure out this problem.
    Many thanks.

    It works, thank you so much

  • HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

    An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account.  An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
    If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state).  If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
    Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

  • I have transferred my itunes library to an external drive. I then attached the external disk to a new computer. I can now access all songs from the new computer. But I can't access playlists. I can still  access all songs and playlists on the old computer

    If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
    Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.
    You can request a new password here http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/

  • Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

    You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
    If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.

  • Can  you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    Can you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

    You can do this a couple ways.  If you are using MobileMe, notes is one of the options for synchronization and that would be automatic.  Another way is to backup your iphone to iTunes, this backs up essentially all the information on your phone (except for music) and if you restore the other iphone to the image of the original your notes will be transfered.

  • Can't copy a song from library into playlist. Screen message says "song can't be found." I know it's there, how do I access it?.

    Can't copy a song from library into playlist. Screen message says "song can't be found." I know it's there, how do I access it?.

    I fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
    After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
    OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
    Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
    OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file.   This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
    Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
    There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings.  Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus.   That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
    Good luck!  The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.

  • Can't move all contacts from phone memory to sim i...

    Please i need help. I can't move all contacts from my Nokia 6600 phone memory to SIM or from SIM to phone memory at a time like i used to do with my former Nokia 6810. Does anybody know how to do this?
    Thanks.
    Darry.

    hmmmm....*strokes beard*
    I'm assuming you want to transfer all your contacts between sim and phone memory all at once.
    to do this, go to contacts on your phone then select "options", then select "Mark\Unmark". You then get a little side menu. in this side menu select "Mark All". all you phone contact should now have ticks next to them. Now Press "Options" again and now you should have the option to "Copy to sim Directory". and from sim to phone do this in reverse.
    Peace out

  • HT5557 how can you remove all books from books purchased file

    how can you remove all ibook from purchased file

    When I connected my iPhone, it automatically synced right away. I did click on the iPhone button and saw the contents of my iPhone including the Books. When I clicked that 'Books' button. But since the book in question was not on my iPhone, it did not show up in the list so I could not select it like you suggested. Therefore I could not sync that book to my iPhone. Thanks for the help though.
    The good news is I did manage to get the book on to my iPhone.
    When her book came out for preorder about a year or two ago, I looked for it in the iTunes store and preordered it. About a week after it came out, I found what was basically the same book for a dollar more. ($7.99 and $8.99) I figured there must be something additional (features) in the $8.99 book. So I bought it too. As far as I could tell though, they were exactly the same. So I decided to hide one of them so they would not both show up in my Library. Anyway, I went to my iTunes/iBooks account and managed the hidden books area. I unhid the Demi book and then it showed up in my iCloud to download on my iPhone. Now they are both on my computer so I need to figure out which one is the other one and hide it. So then I can delete it from my computer just have the one that is on my iPhone on both systems. But at least I found a way to get a copy on my iPhone.

  • How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?

    How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?

    The new mini has a Firewire 800 port. Likely the PPC version only has Firewire 400.  The OP will need a converter cable which is why I was asking first about what hardware is available and how much is being copied.
    Probably go with using the external hard drive if you decide all you want are data files.
