    What "ipod registration"? 
    Plug it in and sync.
    It will erase your content form the ipod and replace with content from the new computer.  Make sure you have copied everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one first.

  • 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!

  • Using Home Sharing to transfer itunes library from old computer to new but connection keeps timing out...anyone have a solution?

    Hello everyone,
    I am attempting to use Home Sharing to import my itunes library from my old computer to new (as per instructions on this site), but the connection keeps "timing out" and so the import gets cut short.
    Both computers have the new itunes (I updated them last night), but only seem to get about 5 minutes (or 100 songs in) before the connection error occurs.
    I have an external hard drive and would use it to transfer my library (which is ~45GB) however my old computer isn't recognizing the hard drive so I thought Home Sharing was a good option...perhaps I was wrong?
    Help Please!
    Thanks

    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.

  • 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

  • How do I transfer Photoshop Elements from old computer to new?

    I used Belkin Easy Transfer cable and it pulled over some Adobe files and I uninstalled from old HP Windows XP but I can't find a way to reinstalled on my new Dell Windows 7.  Photoshop 2.0 came preloaded on my HP and I can't find a product key or other ID number.

    Hi,
    If you registered you photoshop 2.0 then you may go to adobe.com website and log in using your email address and password and look at your registered products. If not then you may need to contact HP if it came in bundle with your computer. However even you will have access to that serial number if you you're intending to install photoshop 2.0 on a fresh windows 7 OS I don't think you will be successful since it is not compatible. I would recommend you purchase the full version of photoshop CS5 since version 2.0 is not applicable for upgrade anymore.

  • How best to transfer iPhoto Library from old Mac to new Mac

    I've just taken delivery of a gleaming new 17inch iMac. (I'm very proud!)
    I have an old G3 iMac with approx 1000 photo's on iPhoto. (Not sure which version but that Mac is still running OSX 10.1.5 so it's a fairly early version).
    What is the best way to transfer the photo's across? I'd like to keep the album structure in place if possible.
    I'm fairly sure I can do this by connecting the macs with an ethernet cable but I haven't got a clue how to do it!
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Given that you've already started using the iPhoto on the new machine then yes, copying the iPhoto Library Folder from the external HD will certainly affect things. If you copy it to the default location in your Pictures Folder it will overwrite the new one.
    So, now you now have two libraries and you want to merge them. How much effort have you put into the new one? If it's only a roll or two you could simply take the rolls out of the NEW iPhoto Library Folder / Originals, then copy the OLD one over - letting it over write, then import the NEW photos.
    If you have a lot of work, you can merge the two libraries. For that, you'll need iPhoto Library Manager
    Regards

    ps - it is quite easy to do... until you create a second library.

  • Using iphone 3GS to transfer itunes library from old computer to new comp.

    I am following all instructions provided at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329 but when I attempt to drag the itunes library into my iphone (which is listed under my computer) I am not able to. I have double checked and my itunes is set to "manually manage music". Is there another way to set my iphone so that it will accept the library folder? (I have already freed up enough space on my iphone to put my entire library).

    Possible, yes... but that doesn't mean it is the ideal way of doing it.

    Sorry, no the iPhone is not capable of being used as a disk, it does not support disk mode.
    You can sync all of your media to the iPhone, then using 3rd party software extract the media from your iPhone to the new computer. That will work, but it realistically does not make sense.
    Either use a USB external drive to move your iTunes library or set up both computers on your network and transfer the iTunes library via the network.
    Why do you want to make this more complicated and involved than it has to be?
