Importing old iTunes folder to new computer

I would appreciate any help with this you can give.
I have a MacBook Pro that I had four multi-user accounts on. One of them got corrupted, so that one was deleted and another account was opened. I want to get all the old iTunes songs out of the corrupted user folder and put them in the new account iTunes folder. Do I just drag the whole old iTunes folder into the Music folder of new user? ... letting it overwrite the existing iTunes folder?
If I overwrite the new iTunes folder with the old iTunes folder, will it delete whatever I downloaded in the new iTunes since, or meld the old and new together? How do I keep from deleting newer songs and still keep the iTunes library or directories, or whatever, intact?
Thanks,
Michael

Just copy entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

Problems switching iTunes catalogue to new PC

Hi,
Please help! I've a new laptop and am using the following instructions to transfer my iTunes catalogue to the new laptop:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329:
I've carefully followed all these instructions. All seems fine in that when I look in the 'My Music' folder in My Computer my full music catalogue is in there and I can play the music on my laptop. The problem is when I open iTunes it is empty, contrary to what the instruction say should happen.
Can anybody help?

Forgive me if this is too obvious, but did you add your music collection back in to iTunes. Go to File> Add Folder to Library. Navigate to your 'My Music' folder and click OK.

Still having problems with loading cs6 onto new computer. adobe won't contact me?

I have posted this before and I did what was suggested, but have not had any luck with adobe support.
Problem: Mac laptop died. I have cs3 and upgrade to cs6 on the laptop, backed up to external hard drive. i'm trying to install now onto my new computer, but can't load it from the external hard drive, so downloaded cs6 upgrade from adobe from my products. i know i purchased and downloaded cs3 from adobe website, but it doesn't show up on my page. so when i download cs6 and it asks for my serial number, i put it in, but then it won't unlock the software because it's not detecting any other software (cs3) on my new computer. i was told that i had to contact adobe tech support, which i have done multiple times, but have not gotten any response back.
any suggestions?

Oh that's awesome!
Yeah, I have done similar things, that's why it came to mind lol
You're welcome, even though I wasn't a whole lot of help on this issue...
Have a great evening and feel free to return to the forums if you need any other assistance.

Having problems installing Itunes to Windows 7 Computer

Hello, Can someone please help me!
I've tried installling Itunes to my Windows computer since I've now got an Iphone. However, When I go to install It reaches the end of the installation but never allows me to click "Next", the Cancel button is still highlighted.
If I click the cancel button, the update will not cancel. The box will just stay on the screen.
I then noticed that on the "All Programs" section, it said "Apple software updater" - When clicking on it, it said something about the "parameter incorrect." So it couldn't perform the action. I think this is the problem but I dont know how to get round it.
Could someone please give me a simple soloution!

This hasn't seemed to work
here are some visuals to help - it remains like this
and when trying to click on the apple software update

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

Switching iTunes (older version) from an old latptop with mechanical issues to iTunes on a new computer. The hard drive, issue free, was placed in external drive enclosure. How do I recover iTunes?

I'm trying to moves iTunes (older version) from an old latptop with mechanical issues (non working screen, keyboard, and battery) to iTunes on a new computer. The hard drive, issue free, was placed in external drive enclosure. This was a cost effective way instead of dumping lots of money in an outdated old laptop while I can invest it into a new laptop. How do I recover iTunes?
I'm switching from a 3G phone to a blank 4GS in the process. I would like to have everything that was on my 3G phone and iTunes on my new phone and computer.
Thanks

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

Had to remove itunes from my computer to reset the computer. Now I'm having problems syncing my iphone with the computer. Computer is saying it wants to download updates to the phone but that will delete things I downloaded straight from the phone. Help!

iTunes thinks you have a new computer because you restored the OS. Open iTunes and authorize it to the same account you have on the iPhone. Did you restore your iTunes content from a backup after resetting your computer? Have you been syncing regularly with the computer, and does the iTunes library on the computer contain your apps, music and videos? If so just sync and your content will be removed then restored.
If you have not hopefully you have now learned something. You can recover apps and purchased songs by connecting the phone, without syncing, and choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu.

I'm in the process of switching computers. Is it necessary for me to back up my itunes music library somehow, or will my library come up when I install itunes on my new computer?
