How can I get music from one computer to another? Can't understand home sharing

I can't get home sharing to work for some reason.  Any tips?

Copy it to a flash drive, cd, dvd, external drive, etc then copy to your other computer.
To move the entire library, type "move itunes library" or similar into the google search bar

  • In plain English - How can I get music from one computer to another?

    Honestly guys, I havent a clue! I have purchased music from my work PC, but cant access it from my Home PC. I have read the manuals, but it dosent make sense to me! So, in ordinary, basic, plain English, how do I access it from home?!

    If you are using iTunes 7 I think this section from the Apple article is pretty straightforward.
    To transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod:
    Connect your iPod to the computer on which you bought the items you want to transfer.
    Copy the iTunes Store purchases to your iPod.
    Disconnect your iPod (click the Eject button next to its icon) and then connect it to the computer you want to transfer the purchases to.
    Choose File > Transfer Purchases From iPod.
    You could also burn the song files to a data CD or DVD. Once you've burned the disc, take it to your other computer and import the songs into iTunes. Don't forget that regardless of which method you use, both computers have to be authorised to play the songs: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • When I use Home sharing, I can see the library I want to copy, but when I highlight the library, the import button does not show up. Also, it will not let me drop and drag. How do I get music from one computer to the other computer?

    When I use Home Sharing, I can see the library I want to copy under Shared, but I can't get it save on the computer under the regular library. I go to edit and "select all" but there is no import button that is in the right hand corner. Also, it will not let me click and drag the music. How do I get it from one computer to the other?

    Since both computers are connected via the network, you could simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from one computer to another via the network.
    If both computers are running Windows, use the Easy File Transfer Utility built into Windows to move iTunes and all other user media/data.

  • HT3819 Can I transfer music from one computer to another via home sharing?

    Can I transfer my music from one computer to another via home sharing?

    So long as they are on the same wifi network, yes.
    Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
    Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
    Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
    If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.
    If there's a lot of stuff in the library you're transferring from, the transfer may take some time.

  • How do I get songs from one computer to another?

      I had found it once on apple support, but I'm having trouble finding it again. Can someone tell me how you get your songs from one computer to another? I'm consolidating all the songs from my wife's laptop on to mine so we can share the same library, but I don't know how to get her songs on my computer, and as a result, my iTunes.

    Go to the itunes folder and copy all of the songs on to an external hard drive.  Then copy them from the hard drive to the other computer
    You could also use home sharing which will send the songs over your wireless.

  • How do i get music from one computer to a different computer??????

    i downloaded a lot of music and video's off of limewire and now can't get them to my other computer (my other computer has itunes) HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You could enalbe your iPod as a disk using iTunes. Also, I found a helpful program when my powerbook deleted all my music from my computer. If you have iTunes on the computer you downloaded the stuff on to, search google for Music Rescue, download it to the computer that you are transferring the music to and, with the iPod updated with everything you downloaded, us Music rescue to transfer it from the iPod to iTunes. If specified, the program will also rebuild playlists etc... but if they were smart playlists they will not be transferred as smart playlists. If the computer with iTunes is not on the internet, using your iPod as a disk, transfer the installer to the other computer and install it.

  • Can I move music from one computer to another using iTunes?

    I have two computers, one I want to retire.  Both computers are running iTunes.  I want to move my music from the old PC to the new one.  I turned on Sharing.  I can play music from the old PC on the new one.  Can I move the music files within iTunes or do I do a backup/restore of the music outside of iTunes?

    The easiest way to do this is with File > Add to Library...
    Navigate to the other computer's iTunes Music folder and select everything you want to copy.

  • How do I transfer music from one computer to another??

    I have 700 songs on an outdated laptop that I cannot update with Service Pack 2, thus it does not recognize my new ipod. However, I have iTunes 7.6 on my new desktop and want to get all that music over to that PC. Any idea how???

    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your second computer is to network it with the first one and copy your iTunes folder across. Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
    Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\. Everything has to be exactly the same on the new computer including the Windows user account name. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
    You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the first computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the second computer.
    Your iPod can also be used as an external drive and you can move the iTunes folder onto it: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • I have an iPod touch, how do I transfer music from one computer to another?

    I have an iPod touch.  I just got a new computer and need to transfer my music to the new computer.  Not all of my music is from iTunes, some is from CDs, so how to I transfer it over without loosing my music?

    Since this isn't something officially approved by Apple, Im hesitant to give any detailed advice.
    However, a quick Google search will surely yield plenty of information.
