How can I move my music to my new iMac?

I've copied over all the music from my other computer to the new iMac, but iTunes doesn't see any of it, nor do any of the playlists show up.
I've gone into the prefs and properly assigned the folder containing all the music to it, but nothing shows up.
I've grabbed all the preferences I can see withing the Users Library, and still nothing.
What am I missing?

As I can see in this article, describes the option you have to export all your iTunes files to anther hard disk from where itunes app will read the files exists, that could be another internal hard drive or External drive, but not transferring all the files and the Playlists you have in your first computer to the iTunes of another computer.
I really didn't mean to use the Import option, that is another possibility. The other options I haven't use is the "Export" that is in the File Menu. You can export either you Music (without files) or "Export Library". Some of those two options must have the info of all your playlists. I am going to test one of those exports and import them in another iTunes that I have in my office and has all the same audio files that I have in my home computer. In the office I don't have all the playlists that in the original does.
If those don't do the trick, I guess there must be an option to achieve having all your files togehter with you Playlists.
Best regards!

    I have now downloaded all of my CD's to my itunes library and have since only purchased new music using itunes Store.  This itunes library is stored on an old Dell Desktop that I am getting ready to replace with an iMac; how can I move the music? 86GB
    Is the music I downloaded from my CD's already in the iCloud or only the music I purchased on itunes?

  • How can I move my contact list to new ID account and question about updating iOS

    How can I move my contact list to new ID account?
    And should I update my iOS system ?

    Hello Godde
    Lets start with checking out the articles below for setting up Family Sharing and more information about Apple ID’s. I will say that you will not be able to transfer any purchases to a different Apple ID, but you can rename the Apple ID. If you want to use Family Sharing, then you will need to just create a new iCloud account and then follow the steps in the second article to start sharing content between you to.

  • How Can I move my Photoshop into a new computer?

    My laptop broke down. I downloaded my Photoshop from web. How can I move my Photoshop into my new laptop? I have an electronic receipt and my serial number.

    Thanks for asking this, it will be great reference.
    I am curious though, because I know photoshop CC has a 2 computer installation limit. If my first computer broke down before I can attempt to deinstall photoshop and install it in a new computer, does that mean I have lost 1 installation limit for photoshop?

    My iPod Classic is synced with an old iTunes account.  How can I transfer this music to my new iTunes account?

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.

  • How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    How can I use Aperture 3 on my new iMac with Maverick?

    Do you own a copy of Aperture, perhaps bought for another Mac?
    If you have not bought Aperture, you need to buy it from the AppStore.
    But if you own Aperture and have it bought from the AppStore on another Mac, sign into theAppStore on your new iMac with the same AppleID you used to buy Aperure on your other Mac.  Then look at the "Purchased" tab of he AppStore. It show Aperture, with the "Install" button to the right. Simply press the "Install" button and download it to your new iMac.  Or if you have bought Aperture on a CD/DVD, run the installer from the CD/DVD on your new mac and immediately run software update to upgrade the Aperture 3. version to version that will run with Mavericks.

    Please, how can I download photoshop extended on my new iMac? I already have it downloaded and am using it on the old iMac

    if you follow all 7 steps, you can download a trial via one of the links on this page using a browser that accepts cookies:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-10-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a download problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem, but your browser must also allow cookies so that's (a restrictive browser setting) another potential source of problems.

  • How can I move the music on my IPOD onto a new computer if my old computer hard drive has crashed.

    Question. How can I get my music library from my IPOD onto ITUNES on a
    new computer, given that my old computer, which contained my ITUNES library crashed and has an unrecoverable hard drive?

    Have you not got a backup of your iTunes content on, for example, an external drive ? If not then depending on which country that you are in then you might be able to re-download past iTunes music purchases from the store. Otherwise you will need a third-party program to copy them off - this post mentions some that were around a couple of years ago, I don't know whether they still exist and/or work.

  • How can I move the music files back into my itunes library?

    Hi. I hope you can help. We bought a new computer and I was using my iPod as an external drive to move the music from one to another. This did not work, it said it ran out of room even though there was room on it...Anyway when i returned to my iTunes page the music was no longer in the library. When i check the files on my computer it is still there, yet it is not in the library. How can I get it back there? Whenever I plug in my iPod now it tries to sync it with the library which would wipe away all of the music.
    Thanks

    +"When i check the files on my computer it is still there, yet it is not in the library."+
    Putting the files on your computer does not cause them to be added to the library. To add them, use the command File > Add Folder to Library, and point it to My Music or whatever folder(s) all the music is in.
