How move iTunes content from old PC to new Mac?

I just bought as new Mac (woo hoo). The only data I need moved from my old PC is iTunes songs, movies, etc. How do I do this, please?
Thanks.

Hi rcook349;
I found this thread over in the iTunes forum that I think addresses your question.

  • How to move ALL musical content from old PC to new Mac

    Sorry if this has been asked a million times before, but since iTunes has been updated and processes get changed/revamped, etc., please let me know your opinion on this:
    I am getting my first-ever Mac. I want to move my approximately 2,600 songs from my HP Windows 7 laptop to the new MacBook. These songs consist of content ripped from CDs, Amazon MP3 purchases, and iTunes purchases. Will authorizing the new Mac in iTunes and turning on Homeshare be the best way to transfer ALL music or would it be better to do that with an iPod? How can I be sure that all content, including non-iTunes purchases, is transferred? Thanks.

    Your best bet is to use an external drive to transfer everything over.

  • How to Transfer iTunes content from old computer to new

    I have a new Windows 7 computer. I downloaded iTunes and now I want to transfer all my content from my old Windows Vista notebook to the new computer.
    How do I do it? I don't see any import/transfer solution.
    Thanks

    Because there is nothing in iTunes to deal with this, no need to be.
    Use the Windows Easy File Transfer utility to move all your data.
    Or simply copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

    How can I move my itunes library(including songs from CDs) from an old computer to a new computer?  I can only seem to find instructions to move purchases, but not all the songs I downloaded from CDs.

  • Can't get my iTunes music from old PC to new Mac through iCloud.  Can't I just log in to iCloud to see music?

    I mave iCloud set up through my new iPhone 4S.  Yesterday I got my new macbook and I can't get my iTunes to transfer to my new mac from my old PC using iCloud.  Are you supposed to be able to do this?

    From things you are saying, such as "shared folder" and having both machines on, it doesn't sound to me like you truly moved the whole iTunes collection.

    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • How to transfer metadata from old PC to new Mac?

    All,
    I would like to transfer my entire iTunes library from a PC to a MacBook Pro. The PC runs XP. My key question is how to import the metadata, i.e., play count and ratings?

    Hey JDelage,
    Thanks for the question. This sort of data is stored within the iTunes Library itself, so you’ll want to transfer the entire iTunes folder. The following resource outlines some techniques, of which external drive may be your best option:

  • Help moving itunes library from old PC to new mac

    Well, I followed the online directions for moving my ipod library from an old pc to my new mac. It says files have been copied and now I see all the song files in the music folder of my new mac, but they won't show up in i tunes....what's up?
    Afterwards, I also restored my ipod for a mac and erased everything...so hopefully I havn't screwed up and lost everything! If I had to do the process over, I guess now I can't go back to my old pc and re-do it, right?
    Help...

    Drag the folder of music into iTunes.

    There's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

  • Move iPhone Backup from Old PC to New Mac

    Hello--
    I currently use a PC to sync my iPhone but making the change to a Mac. What's the best way to switch the iPhone backup files, applications, etc from the PC to the Mac?
    Thanks!

    Your computer's backup external drive should have enough storage capacity to store your entire iTunes library along with all other important data such as documents, contacts, and photos.
    Copy the iTunes named folder in your Music folder to your external backup drive, or if you have a wireless network you can transfer data between the two computers via your wireless network or by networking the computers in some other fashion.
    With iTunes quit on your Mac, place the iTunes named folder from your PC in your Music folder on your Mac. You will need to authorize your Mac with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    Your iPhone's backup that is created and maintained by iTunes is not stored in the iTunes folder, and there is no need to copy this from one computer to another. ITunes on your Mac should create a new backup for your iPhone with the first sync or you can do this manually. Control-click on your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Back Up.

    Ok - guess the subject line covers most of it. I have 2650 songs in my iTunes. The power source on my computer is about dead, so I'll be moving to a new computer.
    How do I go about moving my iTunes and all the music???
    Thanks much for the help

    Follow the instructions in this article; they can be adjusted to operate on any hard or flash disk by skipping the ones which are specific to the iPod.

  • How to transfer apps from old pc to new mac

    I now have a brand new MacBook Pro laptop and have transferred everything except my apps from my old iTunes on PC to my new one using the home share function because there seems to be no option for the apps.  I've made sure the box is ticked in the General Tab of my Preferences on both computers but the apps still don't show up.  Am I missing something?  I have both firewire and USB cables for both computers.  Thanks for any input.

    Your answer would be useful is you could help this novice just a little bit more.  I'm only able to view the iTunes sidebar when I've selected Music under Library and there is no Quick Link option.  It seems that every option I find pertains to music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, etc, but never the apps where I paid for them or they were free downlods!  How might I do what you offered?  Thanks for your patience!
