  • How do I transfer my iTune to another computer?

    Usually for Apple products, it can only sync to one library at a time. If you tried to sync it to another library, it would only allow you if you erase all the contents on your item (iPhone in my case) to replace it with the contents on the other iTunes. I got a new laptop today and I wanted to let my Phone sync with my laptop instead, or even both is better. How can I sync my iPhone with my laptop and not let it delete everything on my phone?

    A simple search of the Apple site of forums would have answered the question, without another post about the same issue.
    Type "move itunes library" into the search bar or your favorite search engine.

  • How can I transfer my itunes to another computer

    I need to transfer my Ipad Itunes data to my laptop from my PC so I can take BOTH into the apple store to get some hlep from the people that know a lot more than I do. I've got videos and music plus apps.

    there might be something better now, but a few years ago i downloaded a free application called tinkertool, using that with your ipod plugged in check the "show hidden folders" box in the finder tab, hit refresh finder and then your ipod should show up on your desktop and you should be able to open the folder up and transfer all your data from the ipod. hopes this helps as a starting point at least

    How do i transfer my itunes on another computer to the one i have now.

    Hello Nousernamebrah
    Well get get your music from your old computer to your new computer, the old computer would have to work and turn on to access the files to be copied over. You also can access any previous purchased music and download it to your new computer as well. Check out the articles below for more information.

    If you are just trying to bring over your music, can just take the iTunes folder located in your USER Music Folder and copy that to the same place on your new computer.  run iTunes and your music will be there. 

  • How can I transfer purchased itunes from my computer to my iPod without losing/erasing the current songs on my iPod?

    How can I transfer purchased iTunes from my computer to my iPod without losing all the songs I currently have on my iPod?  I've already burned the purchased songs onto DVDs, but they still aren't recognized as authorized songs that I can copy onto my iPod.  One other note:  The songs I purchased were done so with iTune versions much earlier than 10.0, does that matter?  I couldn't tell you what version though.   

    Not sure what you are saying.
    What is stopping you from adding the songs?
    Are you getting an error message?
    What does it say?

  • How do I transfer my library to another computer

    I have a new laptop and want to move my library over to the new laptop.  How can I do that?

    Hello Jeff,
    Congratulations on your new laptop!  The article below outlines several methods to transfer your music from your previous computer to your new computer.
    Home Sharing is the easiest way to transfer your music from one computer to another, but I recommend reviewing the options available in the table to decide which method would work best for you:
    The following table compares the methods to move music from your old computer to your new computer.
    Method
    Considerations
    Home Sharing
    The easiest option, as long as your new computer is already connected to the Internet.
    External drive
    Requires additional hardware but backs up your iTunes library.
    Transferring purchases
    Fastest, but only moves the content you purchased from the iTunes Store. Also requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod with the content on it.
    Windows Migration Assistant
    Works best for migrating from an old PC to a new Mac, and transfers more than iTunes.
    You can find the steps for each of these methods in the following article:

  • How do i transfer my edits to another computer

    i have transferred my music by copying and pasting the entire itunes folder onto the hard drive of another computer and importing it into itunes there
    how do i transfer the edits in comments and groupings, playlists, ratings, etc
    or is there another way to pick up all the songs and tranfer them with edits ?

    First, when you say "Store" you mean the "Store" option on the menu bar not the iTunes Store in the source menu. And if you want to transfer music from computer to computer its harder than just authorising the new computer. You have to transfer the files manually. I do hope you have an external HDD or a FireWire 400 cable (if you have two Macs). Basically copy and paste the iTunes folder (not the iTunes Music folder) onto the external HDD and from the HDD to the other computer. If its a Mac make sure that its in the Music folder. Open iTunes with the option key down and click Choose Library. Navigate to the Music folder and select the iTunes folder.

  • How do I transfer my music to another computer?

    How do I transfer my music from my ipod nano to another computer; keep getting message "ipod is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time."?

    You cannot transfer music from an iPod directly in iTunes, you would have to use a third party application.
    As for the message, it's because you have it set to automatically sync whatever's in the library. You'd want to check "Manually manage music and videos" under the Device tab.

  • How can I use my itunes on another computer?

    I am visiting my parents, who have itunes, and I want to access my itunes on their computer. How can I do this without disturbing their account.
    I'm also scared that if I plug my ipod in that it will sync with my Dad's itunes (that would be awful).

    You can't access your iTunes from their computer because your library is at home on your computer. You can only access there library.
    To plus an iPod into another computer, be sure to set your iPod (at your house before you leave) to Manual updating rather than automatic updating. This will allow the iPod to mount and iTunes will not do anything to what it on the iPod or in the iTunes library.

  • I have an iPhoto event on my computer that I have photo-edited, named, key-worded, and place and dated. How to I transfer that event to another computer in a way that includes ALL the information?

    I have iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2. I have an event in the Library whose photos have all been edited, faces named, keywords added, and place and dated. How do I transfer the event intact (with ALL the editing, names, dates, places, etc) to another computer? Exporting does not include all the information (no dates or face names), nor does burning a DVD (it shows the location pinned on the map, but doesn't write out the name of the place).

    File -> Export:
    Kind: Jpeg
    Check the boxes at Include...
    This will get everything you mention except the Faces data. There is no way to share that on any system.
    Note that this information including the dates is written to the IPTC and Exif metadata. So you'll need an app that understands these things as the Finder doesn't - a Photo app for insstance.
    There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider  jpeg or other image file.
    One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
    The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
    Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
    Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
    When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export. However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
    The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
    So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

  • How do i transfer my itunes from old computer to new computer?

    Got myself a new PC (windows) and don't know how to transfer my itunes over from my old computer to my new computer - any ideas?

    Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your second computer is to network it with the first one and copy your iTunes folder across. Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
    Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the default location on the new computer. On a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
    You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the first computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the second computer.
    If you have and iPod, some iPods can be used as an external drive and you can use them to move your iTunes (this option isn't available with the iPod Touch): How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
    If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation
