Switching iTunes from PC to Mac

I copied my iTunes Library.itl file to my Mac's iTunes folder and deleted the other files in that were in that folder. I had been saving all my songs and movies to an external hard drive, so I just unplugged my external drive from the PC and plugged it into the Mac. (Since then, the Mac can read the hard drive, but if I try to move my external drive back to the PC, the PC can't find it. But that's another story.) At first nothing happened when I turned on iTunes. None of my old playlists popped out. I kept trying though by signing into iTunes and connecting (but not syncing) my iPhone. Then this window started popping up saying "The iTunes Library locked, on a locked disk or you do not have written permission for this file." I tried playing with it again by copying the .itl file on a disk from my old PC and replacing the file I had copied into the iTunes folder on the Mac, but the window keeps popping up. The only way I can start iTunes is by deleting that file. Please help. All I want to do is transfer my old songs, movies, and playlists to my iMac.

Hi BMcCrae,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If all of your devices were tied to the same Apple ID account before switching from the PC to the iMac, you do not need to create a new iTunes Store account.
The articles below will explain how to sign out of the iTunes Store account and sign in with the Apple ID you've been using.

Having problems syncing iTunes from mac to iPhone. Help?

Trying to a sync an itunes genius playlist from mac to iphone. Message appears on iphone that says"88 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more info." Any advice?
There were 95 songs in playlist, some did transfer while others didn't. Not sure where to look at "itunes for more info".

Are you syncing contacts direct with the Address Book on your Mac via the iTunes sync process, or over the air with MM on your iPhone?
If you are doing the former, this has nothing to do with a problem with your MM online address book.
If you are doing the former, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
Quit iTunes and launch iSync.
At iSync preferences, select reset sync history.
Restart your Mac and try syncing with iTunes again.

Having problem with printing from xp to mac shared printer (HP LJ M1005).

I have 2 printers - HP LaserJet M1005 MFP, HP DeskJet 3845.
Both are connected via USB to MacPro and shared.
I have 3 laptops - MacBookPro, IBM ThinkPad T42 (winxp) and HP Compaq nw8000 (winxp).
All these computers are connected via router.
I'm able to print from MacBookPro on both printers.
On IBM and HP I installed Bonjour service and added both printers.
Printing to HP DeskJet 3845 works fine, but HP LaserJet M1005 MFP doesn't.
What happens - When I print from IBM or HP, the job shows up in MacPro, but after 1sec status is changed to "Stopped".
I really don't understand where is problem...
I tried different drivers - Generic driver, HP LaserJet m1005 driver, some other LaserJet drivers. Nothing works...
When I connect HP LaserJet M1005 MFP directly to PC and install drivers, it works fine.

Two possible solutions.

Switching itunes from PC to Mac, need a little help

Whats the best way to move my library in itunes without using an external hard drive (other then the ipod) anyone know how to do this with the ethernet cable?

If you are able to network the machines and use file sharing, technically you should be able to move the iTunes Music folder from one machine to the other

Switching iTunes from PC to Mac guidance needed

I'm new to the world of Apple computers with the exception of the iPhone. Just two weeks ago I purchased a new 27" iMac, and now I need to transfer my iTunes music and library from my old WinXP computer.
I plan to locate my music on an external 500GB drive connected via USB 2.0. The library I need to transfer from the WinXP computer currently contains 60,349 mp3 and podcast files in approximately 416GB of space. From what I have learned on my own so far has indicated that I need to format the external drive on the iMac since NTFS will not work properly. I can transfer the files via my LAN.
Almost 70% of my library is rare vinyl and tracks that I manually added the album artwork for. I need to know how to transfer this entire library from the PC to this iMAc so I maintain my album artwork, my playlists, my iPhone apps, and my podcast structure.
Any recommendations for this process, or should I call support to have them help me do this?
Thanks in advance,
Al

Problem switching iTunes from sterling to euro

I started out with a UK iTunes account and have moved to Dublin. I have 54pence remaining on my account. I don't have a credit card and use vouchers to make purchases. I now only have euro vouchers but can't switch country unless the balance is zero but can't spend the remaining 54 pence as there isn't a song or app for this amount.

There is no way to do it yourself. To get rid of that little balance, you have to contact iTunes Customer Service.

" 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.

Hello, i am having problems with itunes store. it wont connect almost as if its hanging, any ideas how to fix this problem

BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Mobile Device Support entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Having problems Updating iTunes 10.6.3, iT wont update when I click the update button. How do i fix this problem? And does anyone esle have this same issue?

Having Problems Updating iTunes 10.6.3, it wont update when I click the download button to update the itunes. What should I do to fix the issue? And does Anyone esle have this problem?

Just want to update the problem everybody is having downloading the new update. If you waited, and didn't try to reinstall or anything, it looks like a "fix" is coming to you. My previous ITunes was working fine so I decided to just wait it out and see if Apple would fix it. Knew it wasn't my computer because of all the same questions in this forum. And I want to let all to know that when I signed on to my computer today an Apple Software Update window popped up on my desktop. (Not the little one we've all been clicking on from the ITunes screen.). This came up right on my desktop. I clicked on it to download and it worked like a charm. After it was done downloading I pulled up ITunes and all looked great, all my purchases, songs were still there. I then plugged in my IPod and then my IPad and they both synced, etc., ....all is well again! So it you didn't try to re-install or anything, and have just been waiting and using your current version of ITunes, be patient. Looks like the fix will be coming to you, too.
