Getting iTunes Movies into different iTunes library and Computer?

My older daughter has grown up and moved out. We have a bunch of movies that over the years we bought in iTunes together under my account. She would like to transfer/copy some of them into her own iTunes library / computer so she can load them on her own iPad and iPhone to enjoy. Is there a way to do this?

Authorize her computer to your account and just copy over the files.

Delete file from iTunes Library and Computer

I convert a lot of my own TV shows for playback on iPad/iPod touch. Once I have watched the show I delete it from my library.
It used to be that when I deleted from my library, I would get a message asking if I wanted to delete from library only or from library AND computer. It does not ask me this anymore.
I went into preferences and clicked on "reset all warnings" but that didn't fix the problem. Any tips on how to restore this functionality?

What I mean is I don't want an extra copy of the file made when I add something to my library. I already have the file where I want it.
I did try your suggestion, and just as I suspected, it made an extra copy in a different location on my computer, then when I deleted it, yes, it asked me if I wanted to move it to the recycle bin, but it only deleted the copy, not the original.
I'm marking your response as helpful, as I can use it as a workaround if I can't find a better solution, but I have never done it this way before. I've always had full control over which folders my shows were in, and only one copy. And when I've deleted, it has deleted the original file, not just a copy of it.

Deleting from iTunes Library and Computer

I have alot of music in my library that I would also like to remove from my computer. I know that when you select a song and press the delete key that i prompt pops up asking you if you want to delete the song from your computer as well as your library...for some reason i think i may have clicked the "don't show me this again tab" and now when i delete a song from my library it only gets deleted from the library. If I want to delete it from my computer I have to go and search for the file in the folder where it is stored...this is a royal pain in the butt because sometimes music files aren't labeled conveniently. So my question is : Is there some way that I can turn that prompt back on so that I can delete songs from my computer and iTunes library alot easier and faster? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Do you keep your songs in the iTunes Music folder or do you use another folder of your own making? iTunes will delete songs from the library and move them to Trash only if they are in the iTunes Music folder. (iTunes will ask if you want to trash the file if this is the case, it doesn't trash it automatically). If your songs are kept outside of this folder then deleting only removes the reference to the song from the library and you have to go to the folder they are located in to trash the file itself.

Switching iTunes library and computer

My itunes is taking too long making the switch to a new computer for my ipod touch. The message "waiting for changes to be applied" has been displaying in the status window for several hours. I've tried stopping and starting again. itunes just keeps making me wait each time for hours. Is this normal? Do I really have to wait this long to switch computers and authorize a new itunes library for syncing?

Removing item from iTunes library AND computer

Under the "Help" search for the topic on iTunes 11 it says:
"3. Do one of the following:
Remove the item only from your iTunes library: Click Keep File.
Delete the item from your computer: Click Move to Trash. The item is removed the next time you empty the Trash."
However, those options don't appear.
I'm trying to delete the items from my computer, not just my library, but when I press delete it only lets me delete them from my library not my computer as well.
What's up with this?
Basically, whenever I delete something, it just deletes it from my library but no longer gives me the option to delete it from my computer.
I reset my warning catches etc.
No luck.
Please let me know asap.
-David

The second question about "Keep File" only shows up if the file you are deleting is in the iTunes Media Folder. If the file is outside the iTunes Media Folder, you won't see that second question.

The camera must be plugged in to AC power (not batteries only). And generally, the camera should be set to Play mode, not recording mode.

DELETING MUSIC FROM YOUR ITUNES LIBRARY AND COMPUTER

I USED TO DELETE SONGS AND IT WOULD ASK ME IF I WANTED TO KEEP THE FILE OR MOVE TO TRASH, NOW IT DOESNT ASK ME THAT. WHEN I TRY TO DELETE IT JUST TELLS ME IF I DELETE IT WILL BE REMOVED FROM ALL IPODS, ETC. AND IF I DELETE IT IT DOESNT SHOW UP IN MY TRASHCAN. HOW CAN I MAKE THIS OPTION COME BACK OR HOW CAN I DELETE SONGS PERMANENTLY WITHOUT HAVING TO OPEN THE FILE AND DRAG IT TO TRASH

I figured it out. The music files must be in the correct iTunes Media folder (shown in Preferences/Advanced). If they aren't, you can play the tunes, but not move them to the trash.

HT1449 iTunes library and Computer Library

After I organize and delete my old iTunes media folder, can I delete my files on my computer that are not iTunes purchases? This would be to conserve space on my cmputer.

How are you organizing these files?
Why are you deleting the iTunes media folder? This is where your media is located.
And after you delete the iTunes media folder, what do you want to delete?

HT4436 I have now downloaded all of my CD's to my itunes library and have since only purchased new music using itunes Store. This itunes library is stored on an old Dell Desktop that I am getting ready to replace with an iMac; how can I move the music? 8

I have now downloaded all of my CD's to my itunes library and have since only purchased new music using itunes Store. This itunes library is stored on an old Dell Desktop that I am getting ready to replace with an iMac; how can I move the music? 86GB
Is the music I downloaded from my CD's already in the iCloud or only the music I purchased on itunes?

Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro, I did not transfer files from my old pc with migration assistant when I set up the MacBook. A few days later I did the transfer, now my Itunes library and everything else from my old pc is under a different user account

I've already setup the original user account and do not want to do it again, how do I merge the two user accounts into one so all of my stuff is under one user account?

They are the same Itunes account (mine), but since I transferred the 'user account' with my Itunes library and other files from old pc to my new MacBook, I now have two 'user accounts' on my MacBook. The original I setup when I got the MacBook and the one I transferred from my pc. I've already went thru most of my photos in Iphoto and named all the faces along with general setup of how I want all my settings on my MacBook under the first user account, I don't want to start over and do it all again with the transferred user account, I just want to move my Itunes library I transferred over to my original user account on my MacBook. Does this make any sense? lol

How do i get my TC to house my main itunes library and access it?

How do i get my TC to house my main itunes library and access it as if it was on my hardrive?

Have you considered that if you move your iTunes Library / Media Folder to the Time Capsule drive......you will have your "master" or "original" library on the Time Capsule drive?
When....not if.....you have an issue with the Time Capsule drive, you have no backup for iTunes Library / Media Folder.....and you lose everything in the library.
So, before you consider moving the Library to the Time Capsule disk, it would be a good idea to develop a backup plan for the library / media folder first.
To develop your backup plan.....(Time Machine will not work for this).....you will need to use another commercially available application that can copy data from a network drive.....like Carbon Copy Cloner or Chronosync....then you can move the iTunes Library / Media Folder from your Mac.
The following Apple Support Document provides the details on how to do this:
