How do I transfer all music and videos from one computer to another?

I need to transfer my music and videos that are in itunes from my laptop to my new desktop, and I dont want to lose anything because when I update my ipod it will be takin off, right? Please tell me how I go about doing this, thanks a bunch!!

There are a number of things you could do. One would be to network the to computers and transfer your iTunes folder from one to another. You can also use your iPod as a hard drive and move the folder with it though that would be considerably slower than computer to computer. Here are a few links that may help you out:

This article describes moving your music to another drive on the same computer but could be adapted to moving between networked computers: Moving your iTunes Music Folder
Also If you are using the iPod in manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to iTunes on a different computer. Change the setting before connecting it to your new PC:

    lots of ways... you could use a thumb drive, you could drag files to the users public folder drop box, you could send it through email, you could use the internet servic called drop box (not to be confused with Apple's user public foldelr drop box).

    how do i migrate all my imovie projects from one computer to another

    You need to attach the computers to one another say with a firewire cable? Or use an external hard drive to copy the Events/Projects and then move the hard drive to the other computer. Are you able to do either one of these first?

  • How can I transfer all the apps purchased from one account to another?

    Good day,
    I'm just wonderin' can I transfer all the apps purchased from my old account to a newer one?

    No, apps (plus other content bought from Apple such as music and films) are tied to the account that bought / downloaded them and they can't be copied or transferred to a different account.

  • Transfer iphoto photos and videos from one mac to another and retain all the titles and face names

    Can I transfer an event of multiple photos that are in my iPhoto application on my macbook air (mid 2012) to my iPhoto application on my iMac ( mid 2011), and have the photos, after the transfer to the iMac, also retain all titles and other identifying data that had been added while on the macbook air?  Using 10.9.5 OSX on both.  Using iPhoto 9.5.1 on both.  I did try this: drag and drop this event to a new folder on the desktop of the macbook air, the using Airdrop, drop copy of this event folder into the iMac.  After the iMac displayed this file as completed received into the iMac, I then opened iPhoto to import this folder into iPhoto.  The photos were imported, but without any identifying info, only the usual tag, such as IMG_4368. (Incidentally, the event of photos on the macbook air includes photos and videos taken on an iPhone 5c, and photos and videos taken on a nikon D3100.  The photos that I transferred using Airdrop did show the camera meta data when Iclicked on the "info" button in iPhoto on the iMac) (Why did I do this in the first place? - While on a trip, I knew I would need to off-load photos and videos form my low capacity iPhone to the portable macbook air in order to free up space on the iPhone, and thought it would be easy enough to transfer to the high capacity iMac later.)  Thanks for any input.  Signed: No longer quite so "new-to-apple", but always trying to learn

    Moving photos from old iMac to memory stick
         Open Photos in iPhoto
         Select All photos (which happens to be 2193 at the moment in my case)
         Drag Photos on to the Memory Stick icon
    That is not moving an iPhoto Library. It will not retain Faces, Titles and lots of other metadata. That's moving the Previews (only) from one Library to a thumb drive and then importing them to another Library.
    To move a Library:
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    I'll ask the same question that I posed
    above - can you do this for Mail and iTunes?
    Most certainly not. You need to ask on those forums for the correct way to move those databases.

  • Transfering all tags and images from one computer to another

    I know this question has been answered before, but my problem is slightly different.
    I had all my photos on my computer (TAGGED), unfortunetaly I then got a virus, I immediately created a back-up and burnt all the photos to c.d. using the burn to c.d. feature.
    On the c.d. there is a file called filelist.xml with all my photos. When I load up the file filelist.xml, is list all my images as well has the tags, but my problem is restore it back to photo shop, I can add the photos back to the catalogue, but the tags don't come with, does anyone know how I can use the filelist.xml and restore the tags
    Thanks
    Martin

    Hi Martin,
    When you back up your files, can you confirm the version that you used.
    This version is a "light" version and does not provide the ability to
    back. For this function, I would recommend you either look at the full
    version of Photoshop Elements or a thirty party back up tool.
    To you next comment... how are you trying to restore?
    Thanks
