How do I transfer ITunes library from old hard drive to new hard drive
I got a new computer and trying to transfer my ITunes library ( Apps, Music, video's). How do I go about this. I copied the library to my backup drive. I can't transfer the files. What am I missing ?
This is the method I would normally recommend:
Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
You can use your iPod classic to move your library to a new computer but if you don't already have a backup copy of the library (and your other important data) now is the time to think about it.

How can I transfer itunes library from old pc to new imac?
I just got a new iMac and am trying to transfer iTunes library from old PC (barely running) to new iMac. I tried through Home Sharing but couldn't find how to sync. Is it necessary to get Firewire? Or should I sync it from my iPad? I'd like to avoid the middleman. Thanks!

Transfer iTunes Library from old PC to a new MBP
My daughter purchased a new MBP recently. What is the easiest way to transfer her iTunes library from her old PC to the new MBP? Can she do this simply by syncing her iphone with the new computer?
The easiest way is to have the Apple Store do it.
You can also call Apple support and they will wlak you through it.
You can also type "move itunes library from pc to mac" into the google search bar.
"Can she do this simply by syncing her iphone with the new computer?"
No. It will erase the iphone if you sync it to a blank computer. The iphone is not a storage/backup device. -

We have an old computer that is broken so no internet connection possible, but now want to transfer our iTunes Library from old computer to our new computer. Can it be done and if so how?
You will have to use a storage device to do so, such as a hard drive or media disk(DVD).

Trying to transfer iTunes library from old windows 7 pc to new windows 8.1. Used home sharing, but not what I wanted, I want everything on the new so I can discard the old pc - so now all I have is my music library on new pc thru the cloud none of my Audible audiobooks came over - My question is do I need to delete iTunes off my new pc before I load it in from a external hard drive?
You might need to make sure neither is going to sleep (System Prefs > Energy Saver)
Also check your settings under System Prefs > Security. My sisters new laptop kept logging off due to some setting there.

My mac hard drive crashed, and had to be replaced. Can I restore my iTunes library from my iPod to my new hard drive? About 2500 songs, some from iTunes store, most from other online sources or my own CDs.
To restore non-purchased music on the iTunes Store to iTunes from the iPod, you need a third-party application as Senuti > http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/ You can use others, but this has worked perfectly for me

How to I transfer my music from my ipod to the new hard drive?
My windows laptop crashed two months ago and I lost everything on it. I was able to get the hard drive replaced but all of my music is on my ipod (nano - 2nd edition, I think). Only a small percentage is purchased via itunes.
I have been googling how to now move my music from my ipod to my new hard drive but most solutions assume that I still have the old laptop/hard drive. I know I was able to do this previously when the hard drive crashed, but I can't seem to remember now as it was about 5 years ago. I'm afraid to do anything just now as I don't want it syncing to an empty library and have my ipod wiped clean.
Is there any way of moving the music from my ipod to my itunes library on the new hard drive?? Please help as I don't want to have to reload over 100 cd'sSee this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
