How do you transfer movies from one iTunes library to another?

I want to transfer my iTunes library from one user account to another on OS X Lion. I can't seem to do this without receiving a profuse of permission errors. I don't mind being unable to transfer the movies, apps, etc. because I can retreive those from iCloud, but I have a dozen movies that I don't want to lose.
Any ideas?

  • How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another?

    How can I transfer apps from one iTunes library to another? My daughter has an iTouch, and I was managing it through my library. I have created an iTunes account for her, with a new iTouch, and would like to move the apps over. I tried to sync the old iTouch to the new library and it said it was already set up to sync with a different library. What is the best way to do this?

    You can transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    To make the new computer the syncing computer you have to:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases lIke I described above
    - Make a backup of the iPod on that computer by connecting the iPod and then right-clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPOd from that backup
    She will have to continue to use your iTunes ID to update the apps prchased with your account. To use her account she will have to log into the computer with her account (iTunes>Store) and change the sign in on the iPod by going to Settings>Store.

  • How do I transfer songs from one iTunes library to another?

    My husband and I each have our own iBook G4 and iPod mini's. I need to get songs from his itunes library (mostly downloaded from cd's) to mine so that I can put together a playlist for his surprise 50th birthday party. What's the easiest and quickest way of doing this?

    Hi, Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I think that the fastest way is:
    - connect the 2 iBooks using the Airport Extreme Card or the Ethernet
    - open finder then select network and select the remote computer
    - open iTunes, select your tracks and then drag them into the shared folder... that's it! You have just transfered your music to the other iBook and now you can create your playlist using iTunes.
    If you don't know how to create a private network or something else, post another message... bye!

  • How do I transfer songs from one ITunes library to another using an Ipad

    I recently synced music to my Ipad from someone else's laptop. Now I am wanting to transfer the music to my own computer , how do I do this?

    You can't without a third party app. If you didn't purchase the Music with your Apple ID or if the music was imported from CD's on your friends iTunes library, syncing will not work ....nor will transferring purchases.
    Look at this app .... TouchCopy

  • How do I transfer music from one iTunes library to another?

    Whilst out of the country and therefore not connected to the internet, using my laptop to play iTunes, then suddenly the library seemed to disappear!  When back in the UK and internet-connected again, found solution to locating previous libraries so, thankfully, all songs retrieved!  However ........... my latest Adele 21 CD was loaded during the interim period, so how do I get this file from one library to another, without using the CD, as my son has now taken this with him for his 7 month naval deployment to the Carribean!

    My mother's father's brother's daughter contacted me two years ago. I have never seen them, but they are "family".  Can I copy their CDs?
    You would have to take this up with a lawyer.  Apple Discussions isn't the place to get legal advice.  You can read some takes here (in particular "Copying CDs" at the very bottom where it mentions "personal use" which I don't think means distributing copies to family members not in your immediate physical location).

    Is there a way I can move movies from one itunes library to another on the same computer?

    Locate them in the Windows Explorer, move or copy those files as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window when the second library is loaded. If you're using two iTunes libraries on one user account, you only need to locate the files; otherwise, they need to be put in a shared area.

    I want to share some songs in my iTunes library with my granddaughter's iTunes library, both of which are located on the same computer.  I managed to copy one of the songs through Finder to the location where the music resides, but it doesn't appear when I access her iTunes.  Can someone tell me an easy way to copy only certain songs from one iTunes library to another iTunes library on the same computer?

  • How do you Take songs from one iTunes library and put them on another(Mac)

    Well i have some songs that i don't really listen to anymore so i don't want them on my library or any of my ipods but i don't want to delete them because i bought them so i want to put them on another itunes library i created but i cant figure out how to take them out of my library and put them on the other one
    how do you do that?

    Open your other library, go to File>Add to library and navigate to the folder containing the files you want to add. Once they are in your new library delete them from the other library making sure that when you get the prompt to move them to trash say no. You should also back your purchases up to disc or to an external drive so you don't lose them of anything happens to your hard drive:
