How do I transfer music from my pc to my mac book pro?

There are different ways of transferring the songs, but as you just want to transfer songs, the best way is to use an external drive to transfer them to the Mac.
If you haven't got an external drive, get one. Then, connect it to your PC and copy all your songs to it.
After that, connect it to the Mac. To access to the external drive, open a Finder window and choose the external drive in the sidebar, under "Devices". Finally, you just have to put the songs in the folder you want, for example, Music

  • HT4796 How do I transfer music from a PC to a Mac using an external hard drive?

    I just purchased a MacBook Pro and have all my music and pictures saved to an external harddrive but I can not figure out how to transfer my music over from the hard drive without issues.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    To transfer the music from the external drive to your Mac, it depends if you want to save your music in a folder or in iTunes.
    To copy your music to your iTunes library, simply open iTunes and open a Finder window with your external drive open. Then, just drag your music to the iTunes window, so your music will be transferred to your computer.
    The process is the same if you want to copy your music to another folder, but instead of opening iTunes, open a Finder window with the folder where you want to copy your music

  • How can i transfer music from my iPad to my mac

    So my ipad is full and I'm trying to make some space to download some movies. I'd like to download the music I have from my Ipad to my mac since most of my music is on my ipad vs my mac. Most of my music wad not purchased on itunes so i can not sync the ipad and download it. Any good suggestions on a software transfer for me to try?
    Thanks

    The best method to accomplish what you want to do is to transfer the music from the original computer to the new Mac, or re-download purchases from the iTunes Store. These Apple KB articles will help you:

  • How do I transfer music from my iPhone to my mac air

    I am trying to transfer my music on my phone to my mac air. All my files were deleted and I dont want to loose all my music on my phone when I plug my phone into my computer!! Please help me!!! Thank you!!

    Generally speaking, music transfers from a computer to an iPhone, not the other way around.  Apple only provides a way to transfer music you purchased in the iTunes Store from the iPhone to a computer.  To do that, connect your iPhone to iTunes, and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from iTunes' menu.
    In general, the way to restore music that is no longer on your computer is from your computer's backup.

  • How can I transfer music from one computer to a mac without burning cds?

    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.0.x)  

    Or, if you have a network established that both computers are on, you can transfer your "iTunes" folder from one computer to the other. That's what I just did, (from my PC to my new Mac), and it worked just fine. (I only lost the files that I haven't deauthorized on the PC yet.)

  • How can I transfer music from my ipod to a mac?

    I have just over 1000 songs on my 4th generation ipod touch. When I try transfering my ipod purchases onto my mac, it says I need to authorize my computer. So I authorize it, and then transfer the purchases. An error comes up saying there are 91 problems that I can not upload to my computer because my computer is not authorized...and so I cannot transfer any purchases. So I was wondering if there was anything i can do to get my songs on my ipod touch to my mac? Or am i left to just deal with not having my music?

    You need to authorize the computer for the accounts that purchased the music.

  • How do I transfer music from my iPod to my computer which was not purchased on iTunes?

    I just downloaded iTunes Match to my MacBook Air. Now, how do I transfer music from my iPod to my Mac which I did not purchase on iTunes? When I downloaded iTunes Match, it did its thing, but none of the music that I burned from CDs showed up on my Mac. Is there something else I should do? (I still have my old computer with my entire iTunes library on it, but I haven't used in in a while. Should I do something with that, as well?)
    Thanks!

    I'm actually currently serving in the Peace Corps in the Eastern European country of the Republic of Georgia, so I'm not always able to get back to posts as quickly as I would like. So I'm glad you were able to get it sorted out by searching the support communities. But as I tell my students (who are learning English as a second language) pronouncing and using words correctly is important to them being understood by native English speakers. The same goes for technology terms. If the correct terms aren't used (for example "import" and "rip") then misunderstandings can occur and it can take longer to get your problem solved.

    How do I transfer music from my iphone to a mac?

    The iTunes content sync is one-way: Computer to phone. For purchased iTunes content, your phone connected, iTunes running, right-click the phone in the left device pane & select: Transfer Purchases. Or, you can simply use the quick link: Purchased, in iTunes, and re-download it. For music, not purchased through iTunes, requires third-party software to extract it from your phone, like this:

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
