Choose Consolidate Library from the Advanced menu or the Library section of the File menu in iTunes, find the iTunes library location from the iTunes preferences, and move the folder to the new computer using any method necessary, such as an external drive, optical disks, or a network connection.

  • I got a new macbook. How can I transfer my old songs on my iphone onto the new itunes

    I dont want my music deleted but I do want my new songs on my iphone. How can i do that?

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

    David.  Thank you very much.   The problem was not with the canvas but rather the Viewer.  But the solution was the same.  Somehow, the Viewer window was re-set to Alpha.  I changed it back to RGB.... and the picture is back.   These issues are often very simple.... but they can drive you bats if you don't know the answer.   Very grateful.  Tim

    iCloud does not store messages for you to see/access at icloud.com.  It does back up messages so you can restore your iPhone if it ever needs to be reset to factory default.  A backup is an image of all your data on the iPhone, and if you delete some messages, then they won't be part of any further backups.
    If two people use the same iCloud account, then their devices are kept in sync, just like a single user's multiple devices are kept in sync.  It's usually a good idea to have separate accounts for two people, since it's rarely the case that they want each phone to be an exact replica of the other.
    Your iphone syncs contacts, events, camera roll, and many other things without the use of a computer.

  • How can I transfer my old Apple ID purchases into new one?

    Dear All,
    Recently I decided to change my email address for some security reasons. Now I need to change my apple ID but there is a problem:
    I have purchased a lot of things by my ID  ( OSX as well as iTunes) and really don't want to pay for them again.
    Here is the question: How can I transfer all those purchases to the new ID and how can I close ( deactivate) that old Apple ID ?
    Thanks

    You can't. Apple will not merge IDs and Apple will not move content from one ID to another.
    There is no need for a new ID, just change the primary email address in the current ID and change your password if you are concerned about security.

    I no longer have access to an old e-mail address (iTunes ID) and can't get hold of some musics purchased. How can I transfer them to my new ID?

    You cannot.  Why did you start a new account?  Just change the e-mail address associated with the old one.

  • HT201269 How can I transfer my old iTunes library to a new computer?

    I just got a MacBook Pro and I'd like to be able to access the iTunes library from my old computer on it. I've tried Home Sharing but it doesn't allow me to transfer my old library to my new computer, it just allows me to listen to the songs from it. I'd like to be able to sync my iPhone with my current computer without the "Erase and Sync" message popping up. I've authorized my new computer to access my iPhone and I don't understand why I'm not allowed to transfer my old library to my new computer.

    Have you tried the Migration Assistant that came with your new MBP?

  • How can I move my old songs to my new itunes?

    When I open my iTunes store, a blank screen comes up with 'iTunes Store' and the top bar says 'Accessing iTunes Store' but it never loads and the internet connection is fine. Alot of discussions I've seen just say to reinstall iTunes but I don't know if I can have my old music on there. Can I just copy and paste the old songs into my new library?
    Thanks.

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
    Launch iTunes.
    THhat is all you need to do.
