How do i get my itunes of my old pc to my new mac mini?

hi, i just got a mac mini to replace a pc...how do i transfer my itunes, itunes u ect to my new mac? thanks

The easiest way is to transfer the whole iTunes library using an external drive. Just follow these steps > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751
You have to do the "Restoring your iTunes Library backup" step on your Mac mini. After restoring your iTunes library, open iTunes and you will see that your iTunes files are exactly the same as on the PC

How do I get my iTunes library off old PC & on my new Mac

Brand new Mac user--this is my second day. Have had an iPod Nano for about 8 months and want to move my iTunes Library to the new Mac and de-authorize (is that the right word?) the iTunes library on old PC once I pull everything off of it--it's going to be wiped and given to a charity!
The songs on the iTunes library and the songs on iPod not all the same--there is only a subset of songs from the library on the iPod. Suggestions?

You basically just have to transfer the iTunes folder from the PC to the Mac.
Apple has some instruction for using your iPod as an external disk drive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US
Or you can use file sharing if the Mac and PC are both connected to a network.
There are also several sites on the web that have instructions for migrating, such as this one:

And you should de-authorize the PC by choosing Deauthorize Computer from the Store menu.

How do I get my itunes from my old PC to my new Mac?

I just switched from a PC to a Mac. When I plugged in my iphone my itunes account did not come up. How can I fix that?

Consider moving everything from your Windows PC to your Mac in a single move, including your iTunes library: About Windows Migration Assistant - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4796 - Learn about how to use Windows Migration Assistant to migrate your files from a Windows PC to a Mac.
Quick answer for just iTunes 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.)

How can i sync my iTunes library from my iPhone with my new mac mini

Recently my hard drive failed on my mac mini. I had burned a bunch of CDs on the old mac mini and then sync'd it with my iphone. Now the CDs are on my iphone but not on the new mac mini. How can I sync my itunes library from my iphone to my new mac mini?

The iphone is not a backup device.
You need to copy everything from the backup copy of your computer computer to your new one.

How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?

How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?

The new mini has a Firewire 800 port. Likely the PPC version only has Firewire 400. The OP will need a converter cable which is why I was asking first about what hardware is available and how much is being copied.
Probably go with using the external hard drive if you decide all you want are data files.

     I have a new computer and want my iphone to sync with this computer.
     I am not interested in any music syncing
     I do not want to overwrite anything on my iphone
     I want the information eg apps that appear when I sync on my old computer to work exactly the same on the new computer.
     I do not want a new library.
2. I have tried to backup my phone on my old computer and i receive the message."iTunes could not back up the iPhone "Bronwyn's iphone" because the backup could not be saved on the computer."

How do i get apps i purchased from my iPad to my new mac mini

i have been using my iPad and iPhone for a little over a year and have many many apps on both that I can easily update from device to device...I recently added the Mac Mini desk top to my work and want to sync some of the apps plus the info they contain on my desk top but can not figure out how to please help

You can't. iOS apps don't run on a Mac. Some, such as iWork apps, have Mac equivalents with which they can share data.

What version of iTunes are you running on your computer? You need to update to the current version.

Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

- Transfer your iTunes' purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Try making a backup of the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup.
- Connect your new iPod and restore the iPod from that backup if you wish.
