  • How can I transfer my itunes library from one computer to another?

    I have my itunes on my laptop which is dying. The cdrw drive is broken so I cannot make a backup copy of itunes. Therefore, I would like to transfer my itunes into my new desktop computer which has a DVD-RW drive. This way I will be able to backup my itunes once it is transferred onto the desktop. I have a 1GB flash USB drive. Could I use this to transport the itunes data from the laptop to the desktop? Any other suggestions? I have about 2GB of songs on my itunes on the laptop. I also have about 1GB of podcasts and video podcasts. Will this transfer also? THank

    These article reference using an iPod, but really they apply to almost any removable storage you want to use like an external hard drive or a USB thumb drive.

  • 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.)
    Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):

  • 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 Do I Transfer my iTunes Library from One TC to another TC?

    I just bought one of the new Time Capsules and when it gets here I will have to do some work to transfer files from my existing TC. I ran out of room on my hard disk, so in iTunes I put my movies and TV shows on the TC and have my music on my hard disk.
    So when I get my new TC, I know about setting up backups on it. And I know about telling iTunes to point to a new location. But how do I get iTunes to transfer those existing movies and TV shows from the old TC to the new TC? Just transfer them by hand in the FInder?

    You should use the Finder to copy your iTunes data from one shared disk to the other.
    Did you know that Apple does not recommend storing any other data on a Time Machine backup disk? Time Machine will gradually fill up the disk and then automatically purge old backups, so you will eventually run out of space. It may also confuse Time Machine to have its available space suddenly disappear.

    Hello Nousernamebrah
    Well get get your music from your old computer to your new computer, the old computer would have to work and turn on to access the files to be copied over.

  • How Do I Transfer my iTunes Library from one computer to another?

    I am getting a new computer and want to transfer my iTunes. How do I do this?
    Also, do I need to do something to tell my iPod that this new computer is now its "home" computer?
    Last, will this affect my licensing agreement? (It should not count as one of the 5 computer transfers, since it is still my computer (eg not transfering to someone else))
    Thank you
