How do i transfer my music lib from one computer to another

hello,
Can someone suggest how I transfer my music lib from one computer?

anything you have PURCHASED with itunes you will be able to move simply by plugging your phone/ipad/ipod into the new computer, and selecting "transfer purchases" with itunes.
Everything else, you will need a thumb drive or SD card for.

    Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
    Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive.  This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
    You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files.

    How do I transfer Adobe X1 Pro from one computer to another?

    Transferring between machines will not work.  You need to install using installation files and your serial number.  Here is a download link...
    Acrobat XI, X - http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
    Find your serial number quickly
    You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations, so you can keep the original installation intact if you prefer.  If not, be sure to deactivate it (choose Help -> Deactivate from the main menubar)

  • How do I transfer keywords in Lightroom from one computer to another?

    How do I transfer keywords in Lightroom from one computer to another?

    You know, in the one screen capture, from the old computer, we can see that the photo has the keyword "bees"
    In the other screen capture, from the new computer, we cannot see the keyword "bees"
    And better yet, show us the Keywording Panel instead of the Keyword List Panel
    I am also concerned that you are showing us the original catalog on the new computer that you created via importing the photos. That's not what we want to see.
    So please confirm  that you are using the catalog file that was copied from the old computer, and when placed on the new computer, you double-clicked on that exact catalog file, and then created the screen capture. Please confirm that you are NOT looking at the catalog you created by importing the photos.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    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.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How do I transfer my bookmark toolbar from one computer to another? Not the bookmarks in general, but the toolbar...

    How do I transfer my firefox bookmark TOOLBAR from one computer to another? I have transferred the bookmarks, but the toolbar did not get transferred with it...

    Here's what I do when transferring from one profile to another, on the same computer.
    Go to "organize bookmarks", click on "bookmark toolbar", click on any bookmark in that category, click on menu "organize", click "select all", click on "organize" again, click "copy".
    Then close firefox, start it again with the other profile, go to "organize bookmarks", click on "bookmark toolbar", click "organize", click "paste".
    Now if you are moving to another computer, try save the copied content to a text file and move that text file to the other computer, then use "paste" inside firefox.
    Good luck.

  • How can I transfer my itunes library from one computer to another?

    I have my itunes on my laptop which is dying. The cdrw drive is broken so I cannot make a backup copy of itunes. Therefore, I would like to transfer my itunes into my new desktop computer which has a DVD-RW drive. This way I will be able to backup my itunes once it is transferred onto the desktop. I have a 1GB flash USB drive. Could I use this to transport the itunes data from the laptop to the desktop? Any other suggestions? I have about 2GB of songs on my itunes on the laptop. I also have about 1GB of podcasts and video podcasts. Will this transfer also? THank

    These article reference using an iPod, but really they apply to almost any removable storage you want to use like an external hard drive or a USB thumb drive.

  • How can I transfer my iTunes data from one computer to another? PS. My old computer won't turn on

    I Recently bought a new computer and I need to transfer all my iTunes data from my old computer to the new one, how can I do that? And by the way, my old computer won't turn on

    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.

  • How do I transfer an address book from one computer to another?

    I'm trying to transfer an address book from my G4 to my Imac G5 and can't seem to figure out how to do it. I've tried exporting out of one, but the other doesn't read it. These computers are not connected so I'm transferring via cd.
    Thanks,
    Dick Skover

    Hi Dick
    If they are both running Tiger
    Use "Backup Address Book" in Address Book > File to make a copy then
    "Revert to Address Book Backup" on the iMac
    I use this for backing up both Address Book and iCal as a matter of course (it is the Apple recommended way in the Help files) I put them into a folder in my "Documents" and clear old copies once a month. If you use .Mac I would certainly recommend it seeing the problems with data loss some folks have had.
