How do i move my music from my old pc to my new one.

I bought a new pc. I have the hard drive from my old pc connected to the new one to move my files. I've looked at the instructions on this web site but can't figure out how to move my music. I'm an idiot. Can some one please help me.

You can add the contents of the media folders from the other drive into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder, then dedupe. After importing, hold down the shift key and press File > Display Exact Duplicates. Sort the resulting list on Date Added, then select those files added today, delete, and move to the recycle bin.
This will bring in the media from your old library, but not ratings, play counts, playlists etc. Gathering up that extra data would be techincally feasible but not trivial. If, however, it was really important to you then you'd need to take a different approach and do some preparation before importing the media into your current library.

How do I move my ichat from my old computer to my macbook pro?

Hi,
I have come back to review this as the title included reference to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5224
From AIM you may also see this:-
The basic premise seems to be that AIM are no longer going to support (accept) the three types of Apple Issued IDs and leave @icloud.com ones as the only ones.
The Messages appearing in Mavericks seems ot override the implication in the article that moving to a later version of Lion (later iChat 6) and higher will be one resolution.
The article finishes with suggesting Maverick OR changing to an AIM Name - apparently missing that you need either an AIM name for older iChats if you ar not going to Upgrade OR needing an AIM or @icloud.com ID if using you are upgrading.
Solution.
Create a new Buddy list. (whilst keeping the old one active). It does not matter if you are upgraded or Not at this point.
Make the Screen Name an AIM registered one if you are going to be still using iChat 5 or lower or an early version of iChat 6 in Lion.
Now highlight every single Buddy in your old Buddy list (Display Off LIne Buddies as well).
Click the the top one and hold Shift whilst clicking the bottom one.
Click and Drag to new Buddy List.

How do I transfer my music from my old iPad to my new one?

How do I transfer my music from one iPad to my new one? Photos are easy my music is the pain. iTunes won't
See my music. I dislike putting a ton of CDs all over again when I did it once. I would like to empty
My old one to give it to is relative and I need my songs.

I'm sorry but I still do not understand what you are saying.
The songs are playable in the music app, so there's no problem there. You didn't download the songs using iTunes on the iPad, you synced the songs from iTunes - that is the way I read your statement.
iTunes on the iPad doesn't see the songs? This is what doesn't make sense to me. Why would iTunes need to see the songs. The songs are in the music app. There is no need for iTunes to see the songs. You imported the songs from CD into iTunes - correct? The songs are in your iTunes library on the computer. Once again, there is no need for iTunes on the iPad to see the songs.
Are you talking about iTunes Match? If not, why does iTunes need to see the songs? The songs are in the Music app.

How do you move iTunes music from an old computer to a new computer?

Advice and options would be greatly appreciated.

are we talking Mac or that other OS ?
Mac:
the simplest way, assuming all your media files are in the default location, would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
winsloth:
copy the entire iTunes folder from the old to the exact same location on the new machine. you can use an external HD or your network to do that.

How do I move my iPad from an old PC to a new one?

I am replacing my windows PC with a new one. I have an iPhone and iPad (and an iPod). I have copied the complete contents of the Apple folder to the new PC (as well as all the Outlook and IE details so I can use the new PC), and now I want to sync on that computer. What do I have to do to make sure that I keep all my purchases and all my settings, plus all the photos, contacts etc etc which I previously synced for both iPhone and iPad with the old computer.
If thsi has been previously covered in another thread, please just point me in the correct direction.

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 have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your devices sync with a photos folder you will need to copy this over and update the settings on the photo tab to point to the new location.
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 of it, 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.

How do I move Flash CS6 from an old computer to a new one?

I installed CC and CS6 on my computer when it was first introduced years ago. Now I need to upgrade to a new computer. The CC on the new computer does not show Flash CS6 support. I require AS2 since I have created many apps with it for my customers and need to continue to support them. I do not intend to switch to AS3 because I have too many old apps to change over.
How do I install Flash CS6 on my new computer so I can remove it from my old one and get rid of it?
Thanks!

You can install Flash CS6 on your new machine with your Creative Cloud subscription.
Sign in with your Adobe ID on the page https://creative.adobe.com/products/flash. You can then toggle the version from CC to CS6 and click the blue Download button. This will make the Creative Cloud app download and install the CS6 version.
