Help!!! Trouble moving iTunes from Vista 64-bit to Windows 7 64-bit???

I've got 64-bit iTunes installed and, seemingly, working just fine on my new laptop. But I can't figure out how to get iTunes to "see" my old library (currently running on my old Vista Ultimate 64-bit laptop), including playlists and info like date added.
Is there an installation or migration guide out there?

Never mind, I figured it out. The trick was to
1) Install
2) Start and let it open/create an empty library.
3) Exit.
4) Hold down shift and restart, then select my library.
Now all seems good, including iPhone sync.

    I've been having the same issue for the past few months. Try this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
    go through each step of the general installation troubleshooting completely then restart your computer and try to install it again. It worked for me on the first try so hopefully this helps!

  • Trouble moving music from my iTunes to my iPhone.

    I downloaded the new iTunes software very recently, but now I seem to be having trouble moving music from my iTunes library onto my iPhone. If I click and drag the track to the iPhone icon, the icon is completely unresponsive. If I right-click the track and hit "Add to iPhone" nothing happens either. My iPhone is synced to my laptop and 'Trusts' it, so I don't understand why I'm not getting any response from my phone when I try to move music into it.
    This is especially frustrating as when I tried to download the new software for my iPhone it suddenly and inexplicably went into recovery mode, and though I recovered the phone's data from backup all my music has been deleted from my phone and I can't get it back.
    Am I doing something wrong that I'm unaware of, or is there a problem with the software? Any feedback would be hugely appreciated.

  • I am having trouble moving files from iPhoto to a thumb drive.  Sometimes I can move 20 photos next time I can only move 2 photos or 0---this is during the same session.  I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.  Can someone please help?

    I am having trouble moving files from iphoto to a thumb drive.  During the same session sometime I can move 10 photos at a time, the next time I can only move one photo and sometime no photos will move.  I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.  I was using a MacBook Pro and had no problems like this.  I then upgraded to the MacBook Pro with Retina Vision and this is the computer I am having problems with.  Can anyone please give me a suggestion in how to fix this problem. THANK YOU.

    iPhoto problems should be posted in their forums.
    I also have trouble downloading photos to the internet.
    Needs clarification.  You upload from your computer to the internet & download from a website/internet to your computer.  So which are you trying to do?  Either way, sounds like a browser issue.  You need to post in the forum of whichever browser you are using.

  • Moving Itunes From one computer to another

    HI,
    Can anyone offer advice for moving Itunes from one laptop to another? The original laptop that has my itunes on it, has broke, it froze and will not operate. Rather that lose all my purchased music and playlists i would like to swap it to another laptop. Can anyone advise if this will be possible and how to do it? Both laptops have windows XP installed
    thanks
    Arlene

    Hi
    I am having a similar problem- when I record from Itunes to a cd it only works in "Data cd" format in the advanced tab. That's okay, but when I re-insert the cd and try to import it, it doesn't show anything- it plays in Itunes okay. There aren't any little boxes to check for selecting any songs and if I try to use the import function, it shows as blank.(file type shows as .txt) I am using Itunes 6- would Itunes 7 help this?
    thanks- I have a lot of music to transfer and this is a problem.

  • Upgrading Aspire E380 from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit - No device drivers were found

    I'm trying upgrade my Acer Aspire E380 from Vista 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit and getting an error that no device drivers were found. This happens after booting from the Windows 7 DVD.  The Acer support site only provides Vista 32 bit drivers for this machine.  Where can I find the drivers needed for Windows 7 64 bit?  

    I think you need to download this:http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/14875/en-us It seems that Windows 7 doesn't have a disk controller driver for this chpset so you need to unzip the above file and take out the disk controller driver and manually load it so that Windows 7 installer can access the hard drive during installation.

  • Hi.  I'm trying to download itunes on vista 32 bit.  I've uninstalled my previous version of itunes.  Each time I start downloading it stops at 12% - every time.  I've turned off my pop-up blocker.  Any ideas greatly appreciated

    After this frustrating event, just wanted to let others know how I solved it.  After fully deleting iTunes 8 - still no success.  Finally went to the Apple store in Perth WA.  Using their in store wireless, it downloaded fully.  I use wireless 3 and obviuosly the signal is not strong enough.  The Apple store is one amzing experience - worth the frustration with getting iTunes 10 downloaded.  Will have to take another visit to the store as my upgrades keep falling over.

  • T500, from Vista Home 32bit to Windows 7 64bit

    Hi All,
    Wanted to know if anyone can help me with upgrading my vista home 32bit to windows 7 64bit?  My t500 shipped with vista home 32, and I have a windows 7 64bit install cd.
    my first instint is to just do a straight upgrade, pop in the windows 7  cd, and go from there.  Is that the best way?  Or should I do a clean install, format and  find drivers.  I heard Lenovo doesn't have much bloatware, and that going the upgrade route would be fine. 
    has anyone tried this yet?
    Thanks!

    You can't  upgrade a Win 32bit OS to 64bit one.
    Best to back-up all your stuff (like to a network drive on another computer), boot the computer from the CD and format all your disks when prompted where you wish to install windows.
    Most drivers will be avalible off Windows Update only specific ones like the hard drive protection drivers need be aquired from  lenovo.

    Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

  • Need help moving iTunes library. 32 bit to 63 bit

    I am going to be moving my iTunes library. I have moved from a 32 bit OS to a 32 bit OS, and that is easy. Is there any difference when moving from a 32 bit to a 64 bit version of Windows, because I know that the install files are different.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Easiest way would be to download a utility that does it for you.
