How do I transfer my iTunes library from an old, slow pc laptop to a newer faster pc laptop? Do I have to take a copy of my iTunes library on the hard drive of the old(er) pc laptop and load it onto the hard drive of my new(er) pc laptop?

How do I transfer my iTunes library from an old, slow pc laptop to a new(er), faster pc laptop? Do I have to make a copy of the iTunes library on the old pc laptop and re-install it on the new(er) pc laptop? Is it something that can de done using the actual iPod itself?

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 all my bookmarks from my old firefox browswer bookmarks using Windows Vista onto my new Windows 7 desktop?

    I just purchased Windows 7 OS and replaced Windows Vista on my desktop PC.
    When I open a new firefox browser, none of my bookmarks from the older browser running under Vista is showing anymore.
    Can I still transfer all my old bookmarks fromVista onto a new browswer using Windows 7 then?

    Just a note about the difference between these two things:
    * "export" and "import" use an ancient HTML document format that all browsers can understand. When you import bookmarks, Firefox may place them into an Imported Bookmarks folder, or into Unsorted Bookmarks. This does not displace existing bookmarks, and Firefox does not automatically remove duplicates.
    * "backup" and "restore" use a more comprehensive JSON data file, which contains extra information about your bookmarks (such as tags) not contained in the traditional export file. HOWEVER, a restore completely replaces all existing bookmarks, so the restore feature cannot be used to merge in a set of additional bookmarks.

    Some users find the disk-based Windows Favorites folder a convenient way to organize bookmarks. If you do, too, and you do not need to preserve tags on your bookmarks, you could export each profile's bookmarks to HTML and import them all into IE11. Organize them in the Windows Favorites folder, then export from IE11 to HTML and import that file into each Firefox profile. See: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/add-view-organize-favorites].

    i-devices are intended to by synced with iTunes (iTunes --> device), not transfer things to iTunes.  For transferring songs from i-device to computer see commercial software utilities (with the exception of iTunes purchases).

  • How do I transfer back up data from my old time capsule to my new one easily.

    How do I transfer back up data from my old time capsule to my new one easily.

    Before you do this, do you really need all of the old backups that go back many weeks and months?  Most us only ever need to go back a week or two to pick up a file that was accidentally deleted, but that's about it.
    Sure, It is tough to think about deleting all the old backups, so a suggestion would be to keep the old Time Capsule around for a month or two....just in case....but start new backups on the new Time Capsule.  Once you have a month or two of backup history on the new Time Capsule, then you might decide to erase the old Time Capsule and sell it....or just keep it around as a spare hard drive.
    I've tranferred backups a few times in the past, and used up a lot of space on the "new" Time Capsule to do it, and have found that it is far more trouble than it is worth.
    But, you may disagree.

    You can use migration assitant which is located in the Utility Folder under Applications. The compters can be connected via ethernet, fire wire, or wifi. My recommendation is not to use wifi.
    You run migration assistant on both machines and you can choose to transfer everything or just data.
    Another way is to use migration assistant to restore from a time machine backup.

    If you want to transfer app dat you need to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old iPod.  Restoring from backup will result in your new iPod being just like your old iPOd except you will have to reenter keychain items like passwords since those only get restore to the same device upon a restore.

    You need to install the software on the new machine the same way you installed it on the old machine.  You are allowed to have two activated installations if you would like to retain the original installation as a backup.  If not, then you should deactivate it (Help -> Deactivate in any program),
    If you have a download link in your account online you can use that or you can download thru the page linked below...

    This is a question for my brother, and he has an iMac PPC (he calls it the "ball") from 2003, which has a FireWire port.  He wants to get a new iMac, which I see has the Thunderbolt port.
    The new iMacs also have a FireWire 800 port, so a FireWire cable will work.  The "ball" sounds like a G4 iMac, which has a FireWire 400 port, so either a cable with different plugs or an adapter would be needed.
    He has found your very detailed instructions about using Migration Asst
    For best results, use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up, not Migration Assistant later on.
    to set up the new Mac with everything he currently has on his old Mac.
    Since the old Mac is a PPC Mac, he/you probably should not transfer applications --  most 3rd-party apps that work on the old Mac won't work on the new one.
    I see the Apple store has a Thunderbolt-Fire Wire cable -- will this do the trick?
    It looks like it would, but it's F/W 800, so you'll still need a F/W 400-to-F/W 800 cable and an adapter.
    Or, use an Ethernet cable and transfer via network.

    You de-activate the software on the first machine. Then use the Installer DVD or downloaded installer file that you have archived for safe keeping on the second computer.
