How can I transfer files from one pc the the other pc?

I've purchased another pc recently and want to transfer my items such as my music and film libraries to my new pc. I want to use HomeShare, and have enabled homeshare on the new pc, and verified it with my apple ID. However, I had to delete my other devices that were using the apple ID as I had reached the maximum of 5 devices.
I cannot find the homeshare icon on either pc now, and my files are not transfered. I have read the how-to guides from apple and have found them of little use (they seem to be instructions for the old version of itunes.)
If someone could help, i'd be very grateful!

Welcome to the Apple community Sophie.
I'm guessin' you are missing the menu bar...
Check both computers are authorised from the Store menu and that home sharing is turned on from the File menu.

  • How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)?  WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it.  Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

    How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)?  WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it.   Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed.  It says to backup files and restore.  But how do I backup files?  Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

    You may drag & drop between external hds. 
    Should you run into trouble.
    Take the exernal drive appart.  Take out the harddrive.  Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.

  • HT201236 I want to do something so simple that there are no instructions. I just need to have two windows open at the same time so I can transfer files from one to the other by drag

    I want to transfer files from one device (or page ) to another by drag and drop , so i need two windows ope   at the same time,
    I know this can be done but I have forgotten how

    Don't use any full screen options for any app that has them
    Mount your device and double click on it to open it. Drag this window to the upper right of your Desktop and resize it to a bit less than half of your Desktop.
    Open the next folder and position it on the lower left side and resize it so you can still see the previous window.

  • How can I transfer files from one user to another user?

    I have a Macbook Air with 10.9.5.
    I have two admin users.  I want to transfer all the files from User A to User B's profile so that I can get rid of User A and just use User B from now on.  So far I can access the files if I change sharing permissions but the files are not under the root User B's folder still.   Any ideas on how to do this?  I also have greyed out folders when I created User B in the root directory. 
    Root folder /UserA/  includes all the usual folder links like desktop, documents, etc,  including some created one for example "myoldphotos".   When i created UserB/ it has all the desktop, documents, etc folders (but with nothing in them since it's new) but also the myoldphotos folder, except it's greyed out and I can't do anything with it at all or open it or anything. it's just there?  

    Thank you, that worked to transfer files.  After I move it into my normal home folder, can I delete it from the Shared folder?
    Also if anyone has any ideas on the greyed out folders I would be thankful.  For example I moved the 'myoldphotos' folder from users/UserA to users/Shared then from there to users/UserB  and it worked.  HOWEVER, the greyed out mysterious folder is still there and i can't do anything about it.  It also affected my new copied folder, changing the name from myoldphotos to "myoldphotos 2"  like as if there IS a folder there with the same name already.   I can't click on the greyed out folder to open it or anything. 

  • How Can I Transfer Files From  One Computer To Another

    I was wondering if it is possible to connect two computers by an ethernet cable and share files between them. I have a wireless router but I don't want to set up a network and I am only going to use this once to put some iTunes songs on my laptop.

    Yes. Look in your Window Help for "file sharing", or search the web for "Windows XP file sharing" and you'll find information and instructions. You'll probably need a crossover Ethernet cable to get your two systems to communicate.

  • How can I transfer files from one person to another using iClouds?

    Good day to everyone. Prior to migrating to iCloud I enjoyed the use of iDisk that allowed me to perform the file share service with ease. I cannot find my way to doing the same with iCloud, can anyone help me?

    DropBox is good: my personal preference would be for Sugarsync as you can sync any number of nominated folders instead of being limited to a specific DropBox folder. There are more details of both in the page I linked to.
    I'll second Roger's recommendation for SugarSync, more flexibility, wider range of supported devices and more free storage than DropBox.

  • How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

    How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

    Welcome to the forum.
    I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
    Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
    Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
    Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
    Good luck,

  • How can I transfer information from one ipad to another?

    how can I transfer information from one ipad to another ?

    What kind of information? You can sync things like Contacts and Calendars by using iCloud. You can backup one iPad to iTunes on a computer and then sync the backup to the other iPad. You can configure your iTunes content and sync the same content to both iPads.
    It is based on what you want to do. Or are you looking for a way to send files from one iPad to another wirelessly? There are apps to do things like that, as well as cloud services, such as DropBox.

    Hi!
    You can use Migration Assistance, To open this go to Finder, Then Applications, Next go to a folder named Utilities. In There There Should Be An App Called Migration Assistance Open the app. Than go to your PC then go to http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1557 And Click Download. Then When Asked Choose the Files you want To Transfer.
    YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT YOUR MAC AND PC SCREEN TO SEE IF ITS ASKING YOU TO DO SOMETHING!!!
