How do I remove my Itunes content and put it on another computer?

How do I remove my itunes content from one computer and put it on another?

This is not a massively difficult process and there are several ways to do this.
In fact you can keep iTunes on more than one computer (up to a max of five computers) and sync them via iCloud/iTunes Match providing you pay the annual subscription fee.
Also you can transfer files between computers by enabling Home Sharing on both PC's and drag and drop files via your iTunes side panel or alternatively you can copy the iTunes folders/library from one PC to the Other over a network and import the files manually via "FILE... add folder or add files"...
Easiest way I think is to ensure that both librarys are on the same drive (ie C Drive) and in the same folder (ie C:\Music) .. you can however use one PC's only to sync your iphone/ipad/ipod to ... otherwise you have to delete and resync and backup/restore your devices each time you switch between the PC's.
Hope that helps

Can I save an iTunes playlist and put it on another computer?

I have an old windows PC with a GREAT playlist of 300 songs. I would really like that whole list on my Macbook, but I don't want to have to sit here like an idiot and drag and drop 300 files into a new playlist. How can I transfer my windows playlist to my macbook?
p.s. i have these same music files on my macbook as i do on my PC. that should help - right?

I'm not certain this will work, but it won't hurt to try.
Select the playlist and choose File > Export as .xml file. (I think xml files are PC compatible???) Save that xml file on a thumb drive. Insert thumb drive into Mac and go to iTunes. Import the xml file.
See if that will do it. And this only work because you do have the same songs in both libraries. The xml file only contains the data on what songs are in the playlist, not the actual songs themselves.

A friend gave me her VAIO laptop.How can I remove her ITUNES library and use mine which I want to sync with my Ipad and Iphone?

A Friend gave me her VAIO laptop.How can I remove her ITUNES library and use my library. Want to sync my Ipad and Iphone to My library.

I believe when you plug her old iPhone in to your computer it will notify you that the phone is synced with another library and ask if you want to register it with your library. At least this is how iPods work. I'm not sure about iPhones. If you want to actually use the phone as your own you may need to go through AT&T.
If you're just looking to use the iPhone as an iPod (without the phone portion of it) you may run in to some problems. The iPhone really wants to be on a cell network all the time. I think you'd have to jailbreak it to get it to work properly as an iPod.
Let us know what happens when you plug the phone in to your computer.

If by "iTunes logo" you mean the image below, you need to connect your phone to iTunes and follow that directions that appear (which will probably tell you that you need to restore your phone).

How do I move both my contents and playlists to my new computer?

How do I move both my contents and playlists to my new computer? I have tried the suggestions in previous posts of copying the library and music folders into the itunes folder on my new pc. I don't have the option to file>library>import anything. The only thing that transfers, even on home sharing is purchased music. No music loaded from CD's and no playlists.

My old laptop is not working. How do I get my itunes account and library on my new computer with out wiping out my ibrary?

my old laptop is not working. How do I get my itunes account and library on my new computer with out wiping out my ibrary?

Hi 1Donald,
To answer your question, ''"How can my new desktop have a KEY when it is not even part of the sync yet?"''
You need to get the key from the new device and enter it into the old device. So on the old device select "Pair a device" and the place to enter the key will show up.
I hope this helps.

I am giving my niece my old ipad. how do i delete my itunes account and put hers on?

I am giving my niece my old ipad - ipad 2 - 3 G. I have reset everything, but I cannot change my itunes account from me to put hers on. How do I do this, please.
Thanks

I suggest Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings
Then your niece will receive an iPad which, software- and content-wise, will appear as if it's fresh out-of-the-box. It will have no ties whatsoever to any devices, iCloud, etc. that you had been using.
The above will be enough if the iPad is running iOS 7. If it's on an earlier version, there is some more to clear out.

How do you Take songs from one iTunes library and put them on another(Mac)

Well i have some songs that i don't really listen to anymore so i don't want them on my library or any of my ipods but i don't want to delete them because i bought them so i want to put them on another itunes library i created but i cant figure out how to take them out of my library and put them on the other one
how do you do that?

Open your other library, go to File>Add to library and navigate to the folder containing the files you want to add. Once they are in your new library delete them from the other library making sure that when you get the prompt to move them to trash say no. You should also back your purchases up to disc or to an external drive so you don't lose them of anything happens to your hard drive:

How would I take money from one iTunes account and put it on another iTunes account?

Trying to swap money from one iTunes account to another iTunes account so I can make in app purchases in a certain game. Can anyone help me out please?

You can't do this yourself. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

How can I transfer all my mail and mail boxes to another computer using the same Mac OS 10.7.5?

I have 2 computers with the same OS 10.7.5. How can I transfer all my Mail & Mail boxes from one to the other?

Hello Gene,
It sounds like you would like to transfer your mail and mailboxes from one computer to another. I recommend exporting the mailboxes from one Mac and then importing them to the destination Mac. You can find steps in the following articles:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another?

Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another computer?

Yes. You have to deactivate it on one computer and then you can install it and activate it on another. Technically, your license allows you to have Photoshop CS6 installed and activated on two computers, you just can't use both at the same time.
