How do i transfer itunes to a new pc?

How do I transfer iTunes to a new pc?  All of my music files are on an external drive.

a) are you transfering from the ipod to the new computer, or through a hard drive? I am not getting the question.
If you are using the ipod use a program called ipod to folder to extract the music.
b) make sure you use your old itunes account from your old computer and not a new one.

  • Just bought a new computer--how do I transfer itunes to the new computer?

    Just bought a new computer(windows 7).  How do I transfer itunes to windows 7 from windows xp?

    You don't have to transfer from your iphone5 to itunes on your computer.
    Log into itunes store on your computer using the same appleId you used to purchase those music, go to music library, and you should see all your previously purchased music with a cloud and down arrow symbol next to them.
    Click on the cloud, and that song will be downloaded to your computer. Try to look around to see if there's any way to do all downloads at one command.
    You should also go back to your old computer and deauthorize that computer from your itunes account, then authorize your new computer as one of the 5 allowed to playback itunes content.
    The behavior of itunes may have changed with recent updates. In the past, when I plugged in my iphone to a new computer, I do remember being asked by itunes if I wanted to transfer purchases over. Give it a try and see what happens.
    But whatever you do, if your current itunes library is still empty, DO NOT say yes to sync with iphone. It would wipe out your itunes library on your iphone because you would be syncing a blank libary over to the iphone. Sync iphone with your computer itunes library only after the computer's library has more content than your iphone's library. That's just to play it safe.

    I bought a new laptop.  How do i transfer my itunes to this new computer with an external hard drive?

    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.

  • How do I transfer iTunes to a new Windows 7 computer?

    How do I transfer my ITunes to a new Windows 7 computer?  Do I download iTunes and then transfer files, or transfer files before dowloading program?

    More on iTunes library files and what they do - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes#Media_management
    What are all those iTunes files? - http://www.macworld.com/article/139974/2009/04/itunes_files.html
    Your playlists are part of the library.itl file which controls everything you see when you open iTunes.  That is why it is essential you move the whole iTtunes folder and everything it contains, especially the library.itl file.  iTunes library is a bunch of files and folders working together and if you omit some then it breaks.
    Stating simply, "This did not work for me," offers the presumption you are content with that status.

  • How do I transfer itunes library to new hard drive running lion os

    I have a Mac Pro with 2 hard drives in it.
    Hard drive #1 has Leopard OS and my iTunes library on it
    Hard drive #2 has Lion 10.7.4 OS and this is where I want to move my iTunes library to from hard drive #1.
    How can I due this insuring that all playlists, etc. transfer seamlessly.  I will then only be using the new Lion OS
    to run iTunes (and this will also communicate with Apple TV, etc.)
    Thanks!

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old hard drive to /Music/ on new hard drive.
    Start iTunes.
    That is all.
    You can also leave it where it it, hold Option, launch iTunes.
    Slect Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the Leopard drive.
    This will be your iTunes for both OS, whichever you boot into.

    I have just received a new macbook pro (Merry Christmas) and am trying to figure out how to transfer my music from my iPhone to the MBP.

    You can copy only your User folder using Migration Assistant.
    This will bring over all your user data (emails, application settings, bookmarks, Music, Movies, Documents, etc.)
    Copying the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder will copy the entire iTunes library.
    This is done when using Migration Assistantl to copy your user folder.

  • HT4527 how do I transfer itunes from old computer to a new computer

    how do I transfer itunes from an old computer to a new computer

    Unless you've moved away from the default iTunes settings simply copying the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source machine into <User's Music> on the target computer (over a network, or via an intermediate copy on a portable drive) will transfer the library.
    See this migrate iTunes library post for more.
    This gives you the same library, not a new library with the same content.
