How can I transfer iTunes from an old iMac with an outdated e-mail address to a newer mac book pro?

I can't transfer iTunes to a newer computer because I can't access the old e-mail I bought some songs under.
Phone support did not help or would not guarantee they could help.
Is there anybody who would know how to do this transfer?
Thanks,
Fred

  • Sharing--how can I transfer iTunes from Macbook to iMac?

    I use my iMac as my "main" machine and storage place, but occasionally download iTunes from my Mac Powerbook. I've set the the sharing settings so that my Powerbook says "share my entire library" and my iMac says "look for shared library" (I don't want a complete library on both machines). Both are on the same Airport wireless network in the same house.
    I'm not showing any of the Powerbook downloaded tunes on my iMac. Am I missing something? Do I need to insure that both machines are turned on?
    It's not a major issue, since for the six months I've been using a Passport storage drive to make the transfer. Still, it would be far more convenient if the two computers "conversed" as I assumed they would.
    Thank you for any suggestions,
    Cap

    I guess I meant do both programs have to be open simultaneously. I was running from one room to the other waiting to see additions to my iTunes library. But that clears it up. Not all bad news, because now it appears I can afford to have both computers in "search" mode without fear of cluttering up the storage space on the notebook.
    Thanks,

  • How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library is empty)?

    How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music on the old phone synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library on the laptop is empty) ?
    I tried the "Transfer Purchases" option - however this only worked for apps - not sure if I'm missing some sort of setting.
    I do not want to use iCloud as I do not have enough space for my music.
    Thanks!

    You cannot. The music must be in the iTunes library first. See these User Tips:

    How can I transfer music from my old iPad to my new MacBook ?
    My old MacBook was stolen and now I have all my music still on my IPad but like to get it back in my ITunes as well, is this possible ?

    If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, simply sign into your iTunes Store account on iTunes. From there, go to the main page of the store. Then, on the right, there should be a purchased button. Tap there, and walla! You can download all of your past purchases. If it wasn't from the iTunes Store, use a third party Mac app.

    I used the following method, which means that your contacts are permanently on your iPhone (the problem with syncing to Gmail in order to 'transfer' contacts is that you need the gmail account to be active all the time in order to see the contacts), take an example of transferring contacts from Sony to iPhone:
    1. Transfer all of your contacts to the Sony Experia's internal storage. It will create a vCard file.
    2. Connect your Sony Experia to a pc
    3. Ensure that you can see the Sony Experia's internal storage files, and identify the location of the vCard file (for me it was in system/PIM)
    4. Set up an email account on your iPhone
    5. Email the vCard file to the email account on your iPhone
    6. Open the vCard file attachment on your iPhone
    7. You should now see your contacts and automatically have the option (in the same screen) to 'Add all xxx Contacts' where xxx is the number of contacts in the vCard file
    Hope that helps.

    if you bought from Apple see this

    if from 3rd party you have to put songs on computer and sync from itunes.  Apple doesnt support syncing from ios to itunes so you will have to already have the songs on pc.

    How do I transfer files from my old iMac to my new Pro laptop?

    If you can get both computers on the Internet at the same time without re-cabling, you have the connection infrastructure needed to enable file sharing and share those files.
    That said, many users find it easier to use FireWire Target Disk mode to treat the old computer as a big Hard drive, and just drag and drop the files, or use Migration Assistant or Setup Assistent.
    There is a really good guide here:

  • I need to transfer files from my old power pc os x 10.2.8 to my new mac 2.7 i5 os x 10.7.5 how do I do it

    i need to transfer files from my old power pc os x 10.2.8 to my new mac 2.7 i5 os x 10.7.5 how do I do it?

    I have been asking this question to several people also.  I have used the program Super Duper to backup my old PowerPC G5 Mac to an external hard drive.  The answer I received is as follows: 
    When you first start the new Mac, you'll be asked if you want to "copy from another Mac". Point this at the old Mac, or at the backup volume created by a full "Backup - all files" of that Mac, made with Erase, then copy or Smart Update. That'll automatically bring in your applications, account information and data.
    Of course, any "copy protected" or "activated" applications will likely need to be reactivated: after all, it's a new Mac. Other than that, though, you should be ready to go on the new computer.
    I have an old computer at work and a new Mac at home.  I decided to test this by bringing my backup home to see if my new iMac computer would read it.  It worked!  I feel confident I can now transfer my old backup information to the new work computer.

    Are these photos you took with your old iPhone?  If so, import them to your computer (as they should have been in the first place).  Once on your computer, synch them to your new iPhone.
