How can I import an iTunes folder from another Mac?

I realize now I could've used the Migration Assistant and it would've been a lot easier. However, all I currently have is the copied "iTunes" folder from the "Music" folder of the other Mac. Is there any way that I can import this into my current Music folder and still retain set lists, etc.?

  • How can I move my iTunes library from one Mac to another?

    I recently purchased a new 13" MacBook Air to replace my older 17" MacBook Pro. 
    How can I move my iTunes library to my new MBA? 
    I also plan on purchasing a new iPhone in the next month or so.  Can I move my songs from my iPod to that too?

    Easy. Copy it from the old Mac to the new one.
    There are a variety of techniques including Setup Assistant (as soon as you get your new MacBook Air, it will ask you if you want to transfer information from another computer), Migration Assistant (if you elect to transfer information later), enabling file sharing between the two computers, or copying your music to a flash drive or other storage device followed by importing it to iTunes.

    Once your music library and everything else you want to transfer from the MacBook Pro resides on the new MBA, sync your iPod to the MBA. Sync the iPhone too when you get it, and they will both have identical iTunes music libraries.

  • How can i transfer my itunes account from one mac to another?

    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.

  • How can I transfer my iTunes library from one Mac to another Mac?

    I have an old Mac book and purchased an air.

    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) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • How can I keep my iTunes folder from changing from my external hard drive?

    I have an external hard drive connected to my Time Capsule.  I have changed my iTunes preferences to store my media on the external hard drive.  Whenever I shut down iTunes and restart it, the preferences revert back to my hard drive.
    Any suggestions?  Is this normal?
    Any information is much appreciated.

    Well - first, I shut down iTunes and restarted it, the external drive was still in the Preferences.  I shut down the computer, and restarted it, the Preferences reverted.
    From what I can tell, the hard drive never shut off - I don't know what the deal is - I've contacted Apple support and scheduled time to see if there is something in the set up I am missing.  Will let you know.

  • How can I import my iTunes library from my iPod classic to my new computer?

    I have just purchased a Macbook Air and would like  to transfer the iTunes music files from my iPod classic into iTunes on the new computer. I can't access my old windows computer.

    You will need a third-party utility such as Phone to Mac

  • How can I import address book info from old mac to new one?

    Just got a macbook, and migrated all the info as per instructions. Now I need to get all the info from my old address book to the new one. Spent about 6 hours today trying to figure this out, and an hour of that was spent on the phone with a friendly but clueless customer service rep. Managed to get all the vcards transferred, but no group info. Since this is for my business, I need to get this taken care of ASAP--- help, anyone? Thanks!!!

    Exporting vCards from Address Book partially preserves group information - it puts it in the notes field as Categories, which is not very useful. I suggest you export one group at a time. I don't think you can import directly into a group, so create a group, import the cards for that group, then select all the cards in the "Last Import" pseudo-group and drag them to the appropriate group.
    If some of your contacts are in multiple groups the duplicates will be spotted on import. Unless you have hundreds of groups it should not be to much of a pain. Otherwise look at Gwenhiver.net - Applications - Address Book Exporter - it may preserve groups on re-import (but I don't know).

  • How do I import a bookmarks folder from another computer and add it to my existing list of bookmarks folders?

    I have two computers. One contains a folder of bookmarks that I want to transfer to the other computer and add it in. I don't want to replace all my bookmarks on the second computer with those from the first computer. How do I do this?

    Which kind of backup did you do? A backup from the Bookmarks Organizer or a backup using the program MozBackup?
    If you used MozBackup, you need to install it on the new computer to decode the backup. http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/
    If you used the Bookmarks Organizer, you might just need to add .json to the end of the file name.

  • How can I import a backing track from itunes to garageband? thanks!

    how can I import a backing track from itunes to garageband? Just trying to record over it. thanks!

    Reveal  iTunes in GarageBand in the Media Browser like this:
    Use the search field to find your song in iTunes, and drag the song from the m
    Media Browser to a real instrument track or an empty space on the Time Line.
    Or drag the song from the iTunes Application window to the desktop, and from the Desktop into the Time Line in GarageBand. Unfortunately you cannot drag directly from iTunes to Garageband.
