  • How do I put my iTunes library from one computer to another?

    My old computer is infected with spyware and is no longer usable. My question is: how do I get the iTunes library from that computer to my new computer that I have now? Is this even possible?

    Yes, connect them on a network (I use my home's wireless netowrk) and set up windows file sharing

  • How do I move my iTunes library from one computer to another?

    Is it accessaible online or how do I do it?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you do it properly there is no need to "import" anything on the new computer, you connect iTunes to a copy of the original library and it just works.

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

  • 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 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
