How do you move music from one computer to another

I have ripped my entire CD collection to an old laptop, basically turning it into a jukebox.  I would like to move the music to my new laptop as well.  I have tried to copy the music folder to an external hard drive and then copying it to the music folder on the new laptop, but this does not seem to work, as the music does not show up in iTunes. I have tried opening and closing iTunes, to see if this would work, but it has not.  Please help. Thanks.

    How do I move music from one ipod to another ipod?

    The music that is on the one iPod must be stored in an iTunes library first before it can be synced/added to the other one.  You cannot transfer content directly from one iDevice to another.

    how do you move pictures from one album to another?

    Pictures can appear in any number of albums.
    To move from one album to another, add the picture to the new album and then right click on the picture, select Remove from album and then select the album you want to remove it from.
    If you need further help, please let us know which version of Photoshop Elements you are using and which operating system you are running on.

  • How do you move pictures from one catalog to another?

    How do you move pictures from one catalog to another?  I have just got the program and have moved pictures into the default catalog. I have now created several new catalogs and want to move pics from the default into the new catalogs. I don't see this answer in the general help or my "dummies" book.

    It's not a good idea to create multiple catalogs. For one thing, this defeats the purpose of the Organizer as a way to search for and find your photos; the search can only operate within a single catalog. Also, there are no functions in PSE that work across multiple catalogs. And even though you can "manually" combine the catalogs if you so desire, you lose information such as collection/album membership, stacks, version sets, creations and a few other things.

  • Need to move music from one computer to another

    Wondering how to move my music from one computer to another. My laptop is being replaced and need to move all my iTunes items from here to a desktop. What is the best/most cost effective way to do this? TY

    It is very easy. First get something to transfer your itunes file to the laptop (network$, thumb drive$$ (depending the size), external hard drive$$$ with cost of drive and plus a case it can be costly). Those are in order of slowness! After all those files are on the desktop download itunes. DO NOT download itunes first you will be begging for trouble. Open itunes and it will take a few seconds and it should find the file on it's own. Now all you need to do is sign into itunes agree to all the fun stuff and there you go. I did mine with an external Sata hard drive via esata and it could not of been easier. To find the file you need go into music/my music and find the big file named itunes. just copy and past and let er rip.
    Good luck

  • How do I move ITunes from one computer to another

    I am trying to move my ITunes from one computer to another. I downloaded ITunes on my new computer and loged in with my account information. Then I pluged my IPod into the comuter and imported all my songs. I thought that everything would come over but none of my apps did. I want to synce my IPod up with my new computer how do I do it?

    Backup everything to an external hard drive with this User Tip.
    Use the same process to clone the library into a new empty iTunes folder on the new computer.
    Deauthorise the old box if you don't need to access protected content on it any more.
    Use SyncToy from time to time, and in particular before every iTunes update, to keep the backup up-to-date.

  • How do you transfer music from one iPod to another?

    How do you transfer all of your music from one iPod to another DIRECTLY from that iPod? Not all of the music on my iPod is in my library so I'm not sure how to transfer it, if it's even possible.

    Search for an app that may utilize BlueTooth to do that.

  • HT4527 how do you move music from one library to a new library

    I need to move my music from one itues library to a new library. How do I do this without having to re download all my music CDs?

    Open old library.
    Drag files from iTunes window to a folder on desktop then delete from iTunes.
    Open the new library.
    File > Add file/folder to library and select file/folders you want to move.
    May I ask why you are creating a new library?

  • How do I move music from one iPhone to another?

    All my music is stored on my iPhone 3G; the computer with it stored on it in iTunes crashed & I can't get the music off.  I'd like to move the music from my iPhone 3G to my new iPhone 4, but I can't figure out how to do it.

    Photos in the Camera Roll are included with the iPhone's backup. You can transfer the backup from one iPhone to another which will include all data included with the backup.
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer. After importing from one iPhone, the photos can be transferred to another iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
    Photos in the PhotoStream on one iPhone running iOS 6 can be made available on another iPhone running iOS 6 by creating a shared PhotoStream album, or if the same iCloud account is accessed on both iPhones, the PhotoStream album will be identical on each iPhone.
