How do i get my library from one computer to another?

My iTunes library is on an older PC that I don't use anymore.
I want to move the files to my newer computer.
The older computer will NOT connect to the internet...
The two computers are close to each other.
I'm wondering if I can set up a network with the two computers and move them from drive to drive.
Thanks

Getting iTunes Library from one computer to another

I recently got s a new computer so my sister was given my old one. I'd like to know teh easiest way to transfer iTunes from one computer to another. I have to do this twice, once from my old to my new, and from her old to my old.
thanks for the help

WHat you need to do, so everything is easy, is first consolidate the library in iTunes. What this does is takes every song currently listed in iTunes and COPY"S it to the My Mucis/iTUnes/iTunes Music folder.
Once this is done you will copy the "iTUnes" folder to an external harddrive. this folder contains the important
"iTunes Library" file with the rating, playcount, playlist and the "iTunes Music" folder with your songs.
This is all covered at this link using an iPod to transfer (You can still use this artical for an external drive) http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173

How we can get the values from one screen to another screen?

hi guru's.
how we can get the values from one screen to another screen?
we get values where cusor is placed but in my requirement i want to get to field values from one screen to another screen.
regards.
satheesh.

Just think of dynpros as windows into the global memory of your program... so if you want the value of a field on dynpro 1234 to appear on dynpro 2345, then just pop the value into a global variable (i.e. one defined in your top include), and you will be able to see it in your second dynpro (assuming you make the field formats etc the same on both screens!).

If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.

Hey susanneyes,
Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.

Moving Library from one computer to another

Hi,
I know I can share my library from one computer to another via a network, which I am doing. My issue is that I cannot do anything with the music on the computer that is sharing. I am wondering if there is a way to get the entire library from one computer to another. I have a Mac and a PC. I would like my library on both systems instead of just one. I need to be able to update ipods, create playlists, burn music etc... from both computers. Is that possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got the same type question. Is it possible to transfer my purchased songs from a computer at work via a flash drive? The firewall at work will not allow me to share files with my home computer, however, the computers at work download the songs I buy in about 15 seconds, my slow a** dial up at home takes over 15 minutes per song. I think this is still considered stealing, but I'm not sharing the songs with anyone, I just want to download them at work, then transfer them to my main home computer iTunes library.

The playlists are contained in the iTunesLIbrary.itl file.
If you are moving your library from one computer to another, simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

Transferring external iTune library from one computer to another

I am having great difficulty in changing my external iTunes library from my old MBP laptop to my new iMac 5k.
My entire iTunes library is stored on an external drive and can be accessed directly with my MBP. When I started up iTunes on my new iMac, it created a new empty library in the MUSIC folder. What I want to do is connect my new iMac to the external library directly. I can see it when I turn on HOME SHARING but only when iTunes is running on my MBP, which is useless since my MBP will now be seldom used. I have of course on the iMac, changed the library location in the advanced preferences to the external location, to no avail. I do not want to keep any media files on the iMac for capacity reasons.
To compound the problem, I cannot seem to sync my new iPhone 6+ to the original external library, only the new empty one!
Surely this ought to be a simple job, transferring an external iTunes library from one computer to another! Am I missing something obvious here?

Wow, what a quick response! Thanks, Limnos. I guess it was bleeding' obvious, and I should have thought of it before. Such a simple solution!
On a related matter, I also have just realised that the iTunes iOS backups are saved on the internal computer drive in a folder called MOBILESYNC rather than on an external drive, thus chewing up a lot of capacity on my SSD. Others reading this response may be interested to know that it is easy to have iTunes save the iOS backups to any external drive using a symbolic link in this directory. Go to

However, note that iBooks will NOT let you use this work-around, pathetic app that it is.
