    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You have to transfer the iTunes library.
    1. On your old PC, open Music folder and copy "iTunes" folder to an external disk.
    2. Connect that external disk to your new PC and copy "iTunes" folder to Music folder.
    3. Open iTunes and all the data will be there

  • HT4527 How can I move my iTunes library to my new laptop?

    My old computer crashed, and all that's left of it is the hardrive. I didn't get to deactivate the iTunes account on the old pc, and I don't have a backup of the library.  All I have is my nano which has some songs from library, but not all.  Please tell me I have options to recover my library...

    You may well be able to recover your library and media from your old drive if you place it in an external drive bay and connect it to your new computer. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I have purchased a new laptop with Windows 8, how do I move my itunes account from my old laptop to my new one.. not very PC literate unfortunately so I would appreciate simple instructions..

    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

  • How do I move my itunes account from one country to another?

    How do I move my itunes account from one country to another?  I set up my itunes account in the United States and now I live in England.  I would like to transfer my purchases from my US account to my British account and then download them onto my new ipod.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and I have updated my Windows 7 operating system.  I have tried to get in touch with apple and the advisor said he could not help me.  Ideas? 

    Before you change the country, note the following:
    - you must use any remaining store credit on your account
    - download all purchased content
    - ensure you have no current rentals(if you do, you'll have to wait for them to expire)
    - provide a new payment(such as a credit or debit card) associated with a valid billing address in the UK or an iTunes Gift Card purchased in the UK
    - content purchased from the iTunes Store is country-specific. If you wish to upgrade any of your iTunes Store content to iTunes Plus, you'll need to do this before you change countries. The content you purchased while your account was set to the previous country will not be eligible for upgrade once you've changed countries.
    - after you change countries, you will no longer receive application update notifications in iTunes for the apps you purchased in your original country. However, you'll still receive update notifications on your iOS device for any applications installed on it. In addition, you'll be able to download previously purchased applications again for free if they are available on your new country's store. You will not be charged and the download will not appear on your Purchased page. If a previously purchased application is not available in your new country, you will not be able to download it again for free.
    - If you have an iTunes Match subscription, you can't change countries until the subscription has expired.
    - If you have purchased a Season Pass, you cannot change the country associated with your account until that season is done airing and the last episode of the season has been added to the iTunes Store.
    Taking the above into consideration, here's how to change your country:
    1. Open iTunes and click Sign In.
    2. Enter your iTunes Store account name and password, then click Account Info.
    3. On the Apple Account Information page, click Change Country or Region.
    4. Enter the updated information and save your changes.

  • How can I move my iTunes library from one Mac to another?

    I recently purchased a new 13" MacBook Air to replace my older 17" MacBook Pro. 
    How can I move my iTunes library to my new MBA? 
    I also plan on purchasing a new iPhone in the next month or so.  Can I move my songs from my iPod to that too?

    Easy. Copy it from the old Mac to the new one.
    There are a variety of techniques including Setup Assistant (as soon as you get your new MacBook Air, it will ask you if you want to transfer information from another computer), Migration Assistant (if you elect to transfer information later), enabling file sharing between the two computers, or copying your music to a flash drive or other storage device followed by importing it to iTunes.
    iTunes: How to move your music from one computer to another
    Once your music library and everything else you want to transfer from the MacBook Pro resides on the new MBA, sync your iPod to the MBA. Sync the iPhone too when you get it, and they will both have identical iTunes music libraries.

    How do I move my iTunes library from my iPod Classic to my new laptop without ;osong a;; my music in the synch process?

    Hi FWFFP,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below will explain how to get music onto your new computer.  I'd personally recommend the option of copying the iTunes library from your current computer to an external drive, because it creates a backup for you as well:

  • How do i move my itunes image to a new PC? Without losing my Data

    How do i move my itunes image to a new PC? Without losing my Data

    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.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    Connect an external disk, go to My Music folder and copy iTunes folder to your external disk. Then, connect the external drive to your new computer, copy iTunes to My Music and open iTunes. If your library doesn't appear after opening the application, open iTunes holding Shift key and go to the folder with your library

  • How can I  move the 'Itune music file' to another disk

    Hello
    I am using ITUNE in a Winfow XP environnement. I am running out of space on my C disk. How can I move my ITUNE music file
    C:\Documents and Settings\Yves\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    to another bigger partition on the same computer?
    Sorry if that question as been answered before I may have missed it.
    Thanks Yves.

    Sorry, there is no way to move that file out of the Profile folder, or specify a different location for it, built into Firefox.
    One extension that might be able to help you do that is Pike's Bookmark Backup extension. BB allows you to specify which files are backed-up and where those backup files are saved. It also has a backup interval setting, IIRC. <br />

  • HT1473 How can I move my iTunes software from one computer to another?

    I purchased a new PC.  I tried copying my iTunes software to the new computer, but it wouldn't open.  So I downloaded a new copy of iTunes to the new computer.  When I tried to sync my iPhone to the new iTunes, it wouldn't allow me to put the music on my iPhone into the iTunes library because my new PC wasn't "Authorized".
    How to I move the iTunes software from my old PC to the new PC so I won't have this sync problem?

    See this migrate iTunes library post for moving your library across.
    You don't generally copy installed programs, but rather use their installers on each machine.
    You can authorize the new computer from the Store menu. The menu bar is initially hidden but can be revealed with CTRL+B.
