How do I access my iTunes Library from old HDD?

I have iTunes on the HDD from my now dead laptop. That version of iTunes is 10.1.2.17. The HDD now lives in a SATA enclosure, and I've looked at the music library, it appears to be intact. However, how do I import that music library into iTunes on my new (new to me) computer? Or is there a better way to get at this library? Also, FYI my iPod is MIA for about 3 months, reluctantly we've abandoned the search. The old laptop OS was Vista, this machine is XP. If that even matters... I'm no specialist. Please help.

You can transfer it from your old computer via Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant. You can also get it from your old computer's backups.

    You have asked two different questions?
    Your account is just a user name and password.  You can access that to buy content from any computer with itunes, just sign it.
    Your library wil only be where your put it. Yo can copy it from one computer to another, or from your backup copy of your computer ot another computer. In some countries you can download some past itunes purchases.

  • Permissions error when restoring itunes library from old hdd's TM backup to new SSD OS X Music folder...

    Hello,
    I got my self a new SSD and installed Lion in it from the internet. I tried copy pasting the itunes library from the most current backup in the TM drive that was used to backup the old hdd. I keep on getting "not enough permission" error for every single file. This same happens when I restore using Time Machine by navigating to the foler using the option "Browse Other Backup Disks"
    Note: There is no encryption problem here AFAIK cause i never used encryption on any of my drives.
    Please help me restore iTunes library and iPhoto library form the backup. Thanks.

    Don't copy & paste.
    Just use TM to restore it.

  • How do I access an iTunes library from different computers?

    Hi
    I have my iTunes Media on a NAS but the library files on my local disk (WIndows 7). Is there any way I can allow my wife to access the same Media folder on the NAS from her laptop (also Windows 7 and on the same network)? Using iTunes server will not allow her to copy the files on to her iPod or into playlists.
    I have tried changing the location of the media to the NAS folder on iTunes in the laptop but it only displays the music that was there on the laptop originally and not the files on the NAS.
    Is there a way around this? I would like to avoid having 2 copies of the files on the NAS - defeats the purpose of having one in the first place.
    Thanks for the help.

  • How can i transfer my iTunes library from old computer to new with all artwork and tags intact?

    Is it possible to just copy the iTunes folder on my Windows PC from the old computer to a hard drive and then to the new Mac Book, and have the library look the same?  Importing the files using the "add folder to library" function results in many files coming up with "unknown artist" and/or "unknown album."  But I didn't think just copying the iTunes folder from one computer to the other would work, without somehow also using the "add folder to library" function.
    I know there are other questions on site (one by me, actually), but I was hoping for any more information.  Many thanks, in advance.

    FYI, just in case anyone sees this and has the same problem, I posted another question beginning with the words "How can I get all music "tags" to transfer . . . " which outlines a solution.  Good luck to anyone with the same issue - the transfer can be done!
