How do I move my itunes data from my old home computer to my new home computer?

How do I move all the songs in my library and playlists from my old home computer to the new one just purchased?

if you have a backup of your entire itunes library on like a cd,dvd or an external hard drive which i use you can put your entire itunes library on your new machine be finding the itunes folder on your new machine and look for a folder in the itunes folder called "automatically add to itunes" move your library into that folder and the next time your start up itunes wait a few mintues and all the content that you put in the itunes library folder will be there music, tv episodes, books, etc. now there is the icloud but it is in beta right now and you can redownload all of the music, apps, and books you have allready purchased but for right now you can not redownload movies or tv episodes

  • How do I transfer back up data from my old time capsule to my new one easily.

    How do I transfer back up data from my old time capsule to my new one easily.

    Before you do this, do you really need all of the old backups that go back many weeks and months?  Most us only ever need to go back a week or two to pick up a file that was accidentally deleted, but that's about it.
    Sure, It is tough to think about deleting all the old backups, so a suggestion would be to keep the old Time Capsule around for a month or two....just in case....but start new backups on the new Time Capsule.  Once you have a month or two of backup history on the new Time Capsule, then you might decide to erase the old Time Capsule and sell it....or just keep it around as a spare hard drive.
    I've tranferred backups a few times in the past, and used up a lot of space on the "new" Time Capsule to do it, and have found that it is far more trouble than it is worth.
    But, you may disagree.

  • How do I move my iTunes files from an old computer (Windows XP) to a new one (Windows 7 Professional)?

    Can anyone tell me how to move my iTunes music and book files from an old computer running Windows XP to my new one running Windows 7 Professional?  Do I download and install iTunes on the new system then use the backup and restore functions?  If so, it looks like the backup only goes to CDs or DVDs; there are so many files that using a USB drive would make more sense, but that does not appear to be an option.  Would it work to simply copy the iTunes folder under My Music to the new computer and assume that iTunes would find it?  Thank you, very much, for any help and guidance.

  • How do I move my iTunes library from an external hard drive to my new Time Capsule?

    I stored my 77GB of iTunes library on my six year old 1TB Time Capsule. I just bought a 2TB Time Capsule and moved the iTunes associated folders onto a WD My Passport HD. Now, I can't figure out how to get them onto my new Time Capsule. Can someone please help me?
    I have a MBP that doesn't have enough hard drive space to move them from the WD hard drive onto the MBP and then onto the Time Capsule.
    Isn't there a way to move the files directly from the external HD to the Time Capsule?
    Thanks.

    You could plug the WD drive straight into the TC but it will be much faster to do it with the WD drive plugged into the computer.. and just mount the TC hard disk in Finder.
    To move itunes library you must follow the Apple instructions.. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
    You may need to reconnect itunes to the library before you try to move it.. !!

  • How do I move my Itunes library from my old pc to my new laptop?

    Hi,
    I have most of my music on my cronky old PC which is about to die! How do I transfer the music on my itunes onto my shiny new laptop? Please can you make it really easy???
    Thanks
    Helen

    Easy way, if you don't have a time-capsule machine or something is to connect an SD card to the PC, move all songs onto it, then connect the SD card to the other computer and move the songs off of it onto the computer.

  • How can I move Camera Roll photos from my old iPhone 3G to my new iPhone 4?

    Hi,
    I have just got my new iPhone 4 and I'm very happy with it, really a great step-up from my old 3G. I do have one question though, in my old iPhone 3G I have about 300 photos in the camera and I would like to export them and then import them to the camera roll in my new iPhone 4...is this possible?
    Thanks in advance for your input guys!
    //Richard

    Only if you restore your new phone from the backup of your old phone. Camera roll photos are included in your iphone backup. However, its not wise to keep photos in your camera roll. They should be imported to your computer on a regular basis. From there, you can then sync them back to your phone, but not back to your camera roll.

  • How can I move my iTunes data from my C: Drive to my D:Drive

    My C: is nearly full, while my D: has plenty of space. I am afraid to un-install and re-install it as it will lose all my iPhone data next time I synch. Also, even if I do install it to my D: won't it still place it's data on my C:???
    NOTE: It's not my music that is the problem, it is my POSCASTS. I have a lot of video podcasts, movies and I see no way to re-locate them to another drive
    thanks,
    JIM

    iTunes prefs -> Advanced. Set the iTunes muiusci folder location to where you want on the D: drive.
    Then go to iTunes menu Advanced -> Consolidate library.
    This will copy (not move) the songs to the D: drive in the folder you specifed. iTunes will use this folder for everything in your iTunes library and also for all new addition to iTunes.
    Once finished, you can delete \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\*iTunes music* folder and free up the space on yoryour u C: drive.
