How can I transfer music from one computer to a mac without burning cds?

iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.0.x)  

Or, if you have a network established that both computers are on, you can transfer your "iTunes" folder from one computer to the other. That's what I just did, (from my PC to my new Mac), and it worked just fine. (I only lost the files that I haven't deauthorized on the PC yet.)

    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,

  • 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 can I transfer music from my iPad to my iPhone without using a computer/iTunes?

    Disclaimer:  I am actually asking this for a family member, but I don't have an answer for her either.
    My family member has an iPad with music on it currently.  This music is music bought from iTunes and music bought from other sources.
    Her computer died a few months ago and she does not intend on replacing it.
    She just bought an iPhone and would like to copy the music from her iPad to her new iPhone.
    I had originally thought that iTunes Match would work for this, but the Apple Support article regarding iTunes Match (iTunes Store: Subscribing to iTunes Match) suggests that it requires a computer w/ iTunes to do the initial update.
    I'm willing to consider approaches from either, Apple or third-party.
    If it helps, her iPad and iPhone are both running iOS 7.

    The answer is, "you don't".
    Music other than that purchased from the iTunes store had to be synced to the device using iTunes on a computer. The media should still exist on that computer. She can use the computer to sync the music to the new device.
    An iPad or iPhone is NOT a backup device. In order to set it up to sync to a new computer were she to replace hers, the media on the device would have to be erased before anything could be synced to it. Media synced to the device can not be synced back to a computer (without purchasing 3rd party software). Without a computer and iTunes, it's not possible to transfer media from one iDevice to another, even with 3rd party software.

  • HT1766 How can I transfer music from iphone 4 to iphone 4s without using computer syncying or icloud?

    I have an iphone 4 with music downloaded from my Macbook which was originally downloaded from CDs.  I now have an iphone 4s that will not sync with my old Macbook because it does not have the most recent version of itunes.  Macbook is too old for new itunes.  I want to transfer music on iphone 4 to iphone 4s.  icloud will only transfer music to 4s that was originally purchsed through itunes and will not transfer CD music from iphone 4.  How can I transfer this music to my new phone?

    The Mac version of the iPhone PC suite supports to backup iPhone music to PC and iTunes with ID3 Tag Info preserved. Try it.
