  • Can someone tell me how to transfer the infor from my iPad 1 to my new ipad2

    Help I do not understand this

    You can backup your current iPad, and then restore the new iPad from that backup (a list of what is included in a backup is in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079 - it excludes music, videos, photos synced from your computer).
    As the backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their settings and content, for the restore to work completely you'll need all the relevant apps in your computer's iTunes library - otherwise the restore won't be able to install the apps and therefore their content. With your current iPad connected to your computer's iTunes, File > Transfer Purchases should copy any content from that iPad to your computer that isn't already on there so that the restore can then copy them onto the new iPad - if Transfer Purchases doesn't copy the apps to your computer then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    Restoring a backup onto a different device won't copy over passwords, so on the new iPad you will need to re-enter your wifi network password, emal account passwords, and any passwords saved on websites.

  • 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!

  • 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?

    Also check your settings under System Prefs > Security. My sisters new laptop kept logging off due to some setting there.

  • HT4796 how to transfer itunes library from a crashed pc to a new macbook pro

    i bought a brand new macbook pro for school and the day after i ordered it, my old pc crahes. my entire itunes library was on that computer as well as some other things for my phone. I dont know how to switch all my music and what not from my old pc now that i cant turn it on anymore.

    Without having access to that hard drive, it's not possible to migrate the iTunes library.
    phone?  An iPhone ??
    If it's an iPhone, you can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPhone to the Mac using iTunes.
    You probably have to authorize the Mac before doing so.

  • How to transfer Itunes library from Windows XP to new Imac?

    I have just purchased a new Imac and want to transfer my Itunes library from my Windows XP pc to new Imac. I have both computers on an Airport wireless home network. If this proves to be difficult, can I use a jump drive? Thanks
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I just got a shiny new Mac, and don't want to lose my music library!
    No need! iTunes for Windows is almost exactly identical to iTunes for Mac, and switching over is actually very easy.
    First thing you're going to have to do is figure out a data route. Although you can technically use CDs or DVDs, in order to best transfer all data, including playlists and ratings, you'll want another method.
    If you have a network set up, you're good to go.
    An external hard drive will work as well, just remember that Windows won't read a Mac formatted disk. The iPod is also an external hard drive, and can be used in the same way.
    <hr>
    Once you have the method set up, you're going to have to prepare iTunes.
    Open iTunes for Windows, and hit Edit>Preferences>Advanced, and make sure that the folder listed is \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music.
    Next, hit Consolidate Music Library. This action is irreversible, and it will make sure that all of your music is put in the aforementioned 'iTunes Music' folder. Shut iTunes, and move on.
    Now you're going to have to move the info to the Mac. If you have an external hard drive, drag the iTunes folder, located within My Documents\My Music onto it. If you have a network set up, copy the iTunes folder to a location that can be accessed by the Mac.
    Now, on the Mac, open either the external HDD, or the network folder, and copy the folder iTunes to the Home/Music folder.
    Start up iTunes on the Mac, and everything should be in place.
    Cleaning up
    If you have music purchased from the iTunes Music Store, you're going to have to authorize your Mac. If you're not going to be using your Windows machine for iTMS songs anymore, you may want to deauthorize it. Either way, this article has all of the information you need: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93014
    If you're not going to be using the Windows machine for music, you can safely delete the music from it, as it is now on the Mac. However, unless it is actually bothering you there, there's no reason to do so. Redundancy is great for data.
    About an iPod:
    First, Apple has a doc about using the iPod to switch. It has some great info about moving your documents, emails, etc. However, the method of music transfer there doesn't save most of your library data.
    Second, you may want to reformat your iPod for the Mac. The advantage, basically, is some transfer speed. The disadvantage is Windows' inability to read Mac disks without 3rd party software. Either way, the doc on formatting (restoring) is here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983#One
    That's it! Your music collection should be up and running in iTunes for Mac. A couple of places to check out, both showing the 'extras' of the Mac version of iTunes vs. Windows:

  • Using Home Sharing to transfer itunes library from old computer to new but connection keeps timing out...anyone have a solution?

    Hello everyone,
    I am attempting to use Home Sharing to import my itunes library from my old computer to new (as per instructions on this site), but the connection keeps "timing out" and so the import gets cut short.
    Both computers have the new itunes (I updated them last night), but only seem to get about 5 minutes (or 100 songs in) before the connection error occurs.
    I have an external hard drive and would use it to transfer my library (which is ~45GB) however my old computer isn't recognizing the hard drive so I thought Home Sharing was a good option...perhaps I was wrong?
    Help Please!
    Thanks

  • How to Transfer iTunes Library from Windows to Mac

    I'm having some trouble moving my iTunes library from my old Windows XP Dell to my new MacBook Pro. I used my iPod video on the Dell, but now that I have a Mac, I want all my songs to be moved over there. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do this. I looked at the Apple Support pages, but none of them address this particular issue. Can someone guide me on how to do transfer my library?
    Thanks!

    the ipod now showing up in my computer or wherever is probably because the ipod is not set for disk use. go to the ipod settings in itunes and fink the check box where it says "enable disk use" this should make the ipod show up. now you should be able to put the songs onto the ipod as a music file to transfer them. other methods of transfer could be an external hard drive, a travel drive, a usb cable, or the most convenient but frustrating way is to open the ipod folder in my computer... and nvm i cant remember how to do it and dont have a working ipod at the moment to find out. ill post that solution later. i will say it involves opening the folder where the music is saved on the ipod, copying them onto the computer and renaming every single file. this is convienient only because it doesnt require modification or movement of any songs to the ipod because it uses the ones on there. all the files renamed with random letters and numbers when put on the ipod so youll have to reorganize all songs

  • Transfer iTunes Library from old PC to a new MBP

    My daughter purchased a new MBP recently. What is the easiest way to transfer her iTunes library from her old PC to the new MBP? Can she do this simply by syncing her iphone with the new computer?

    The easiest way is to have the Apple Store do it.
    You can also call Apple support and they will wlak you through it.
    You can also type "move itunes library from pc to mac" into the google search bar.
    "Can she do this simply by syncing her iphone with the new computer?"
    No.  It will erase the iphone if you sync it to a blank computer.  The iphone is not a storage/backup device.

  • Can someone tell me how to stop itunes from saving my media to two files?

    I know the answer is simple...but I can't seem to find it in plain english!
    So i bought a new used computer (lol) and took all my backed up music from my external drive and dumped it right into my computer. Put the whole MUSIC file into finder, under the "Music" section...then when that was done I dragged it into iTunes.
    Well lo and behold my 500G hard drive is almost full! AGH! So i tediously went through files on my itunes, deleting all I could. Everytime it asked me if I wanted to move the files to the trash and I said YES!
    Ok...so after hours of that, i look in my Music file in Finder (which now has a new folder from my external called MUSIC) and lo and behold...every file i deleted is still there!
    So, I'm no dummy. I guess iTunes makes a new folder of iTunes media, something like that? Doubling everything?
    I will gladly delete everything and start over if I must, but can someone please tell me how I can put music files on my computer without them doubling, or how to delete them and have them actually delete?  Settings?!
    help! Thank you!

    Adding music to iTunes will copy it into the iTunes mdia folder.
    Put it into /Music/iTunes/iTunes media/Automatically add to iTunes older.
    This will move (not copy) the media.
    You can delete the files you originally copied into the Music folder.
