iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder
But, before you do this, you might want to think about how you will backup the iTunes library that will be moved to the Time Capsule. (Time Machine cannot do this).
Since you will need another hard drive as the target for the backup of the iTunes library, it might make more sense to move your iTunes library to a hard drive attached directly to your Mac.
Then, Time Machine will back up both your Mac...and....the attached hard drive to your Time Capsule using Time Machine.

  • How do I move my iTunes library to my Time Capsule?

    I referred to apple's support HT1449 and followed each step carefully. I then opened iTunes using the option button.
    I'm getting a message saying the files cannot be found on the Time Capsule and iTunes is opening up and showing I have no content when I try to access the internal drive.
    I'm very frustrated. I have tried this several times! What am I missing?

    HT1449 support article is for moving the iTunes media folder not the iTunes library.
    I then opened iTunes using the option button.
    That article does not mention anything about Option button.
    Option is when you move the iTunes library.
    Do you still have the entire iTunes folder on the internal?
    If so...
    Quit iTunes.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to the external.
    Hold the Option key, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external.
    That is all you need to do.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my MacBook Pro?

    How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my MacBook Pro?

    Just copy the entire Music folder from the old Mac to the new Mac, then click on the folder and Get Info and change the permisisons and click the spoke to "apply to enclosed items"
    Ideally it's best to use the same user name on the new machine, this way all your iTunes playlists work and there is no need to change permissions.
    You can create the same named user by creating another account in System Preferences >accounts
    If the old computer is a PC then just copy the old Music folder to the Mac onto the desktop, then use iTunes to import the music files.
    If the old comptuer is dead, then you can extract the hard drive(if it's still working) and use a IDE/SATA to USB adapter cable to access the internal drive.
    Mac's should be able to read NTFS format of PC's, just not write to it. But if it's not working there is software to install to allow the Mac to read that NTFS drive format, just search online.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library from an old, slow pc laptop to a newer faster pc laptop? Do I have to take a copy of my iTunes library on the hard drive of the old(er) pc laptop and load it onto the hard drive of my new(er) pc laptop?

    How do I transfer my iTunes library from an old, slow pc laptop to a new(er), faster pc laptop? Do I have to make a copy of the iTunes library on the old pc laptop and re-install it on the new(er) pc laptop? Is it something that can de done using the actual iPod itself?

    This is the method I would normally recommend:
    Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
    You can use your iPod classic to move your library to a new computer but if you don't already have a backup copy of the library (and your other important data) now is the time to think about it.

  • How do I transfer my itunes library to a new computer?

    How do I transfer my itunes library from my old computer to my new computer?  My current computer is crashing and I need to buy a new one.  I have all of the libraries backed up on each of my devices, but I don't think I can simply sync the devices to my new computer's blank itunes' library, correct?  Thanks in advance for any help.

    You need to copy iTunes folder from your old computer to the new one.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes library to a new computer?  I have transferred purchased music but wish to transfer the rest of my library.  Home sharing isn't responding and the computers are going to be in different locations.

    How do I transfer my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one?  I have successfully transferred purchased music but not my library of CDs.  Home sharing will not work, and isn't working in fact, as the computers will be in different countries.

    Assuming your library is in the default location and all of the media is stored within the library's media folder then this is what you need to do:
    Copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target computer.
    You can do this directly over a network (making use of shared network folders) or by making a copy on an external drive, moving the drive between computers, and copying again. Any way that works is good. However if you say that you cannot use Home Sharing (doesn't work properly anyway) because the source and target are not on the same network then method 2 as I describe it won't work either.
    Your playlists, play counts, ratings etc. are stored inside the database iTunes Library.itl which is inside the iTunes folder and a successful migration includes all of this information, not just the media files. I recommend method 1 from the earlier link as it sets you up with a backup mechanism to use in future. All hard drives fail eventually and often without warning, or at least a warning that is noticed and then heeded.
    If the initial assumption is wrong, or you need help checking, just ask.
