Hi,

Thanks

1.  You can follow the instructions in this article:  http://www.macworld.com/article/146958/2010/03/move_itunes_windows_mac.html
2.  Or you can turn on home sharing on both computers and simply drag music between computer libraries.

  • How do I copy some music from my itunes library to a MP3 player?

    I have a Sandisk clip sport MP3 player and would like to download files from my iTunes library.  Do I have to use the sync?  If so, how do I enable sync on my Mac?

    Drag the songs from the iTunes library or iTunes Music folder to the device in the Finder. If it doesn't show up there or that doesn't work, check the device's documentation.

  • How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

    How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?  I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them.   Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs?   The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • How can I get my music from my Itunes library after I replaced my hard drive?

    How can I get my music from my Itunes library (purchased and downloaded (CD)) after I replaced my hard drive?  Same account name.  My other computer see's old and new music.  Can purchace new songs.  They show up by themselves.  Can connect IPOD and old songs show up.  Seem's like they are defined as different accounts.

    They will only be where you put them.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

    ive got a laptop from a friend, she cleared everything off it. ive downloaded itunes and for some reason all her music has appeared in the library. How do i delete her music from the itunes libary so i can add my own music?

    In iTunes, select the music you want to delete (⌘+a to select all) and hit Delete on your keyboard.
    Also delete the music files in Finder. Also make sure you have your own Apple ID and iTunes account and logged in.

  • How to I put the music from my itunes library onto my iphone 4s using icloud?

    We just got the new iphone 4s and are having trouble put the music on. When we have homesharing on it shows up on the iphone but we can't get it to stay on the phone. As soon as we close itunes it disappears from the phone. Can I use icloud to do it or do I have to plug in my phone to the computer or is it even possible. We did it on our ipad and it seemed to work fine. Do i have to get that imatch?

    You can make a playlist in iTunes to and fill it with the music you want on your phone. Then when you sync your phone you can select the playlist to sync. Creating a playlist will allow you to choose the songs you want.
    Create a playlist by selecting
    1. File
    2. New
    3. Playlist
    4. Name the Playlist
    Adding Music to the Playlist
    1. Select song
    2. Right Click
    3. Add to Playlist
    4. Select the PlayList you created
