  • How to transfer iTunes music from old computer to new laptop

    I just got a new laptop and I want to know if its possible to transfer my music from my old computer to my new laptop. I have already bought so much music, and I don't think I should be required to buy it again. How do I transfer the music to my new laptop from my old computer?

  • How can i copy music from old laptop to new without everything downloading via cloud?

    I tried to back up my songs to an external drive and then import them to the new laptop.  It worked for about the first day, but then it wouldn't play my songs.  I kept trying and now it plays, but it shows every song i ever purchased since 6th grade!  There is a cloud symbol next to some.  I don't want to download every single song from icloud (over 2,000 songs).  I just want to copy the 800+ songs on my old laptop before i get rid of it.  PLEASE Help.

  • How to get itunes library from external drive to new computer

    i recently purchased a new computer w/the windows vista platform. there were posts regarding how to transfer the library w/playlists on this board, which i followed to the point of hitting shift while opening itunes, and choosing a library. however, when selecting such from my external drive, which has the itl and xml on it as well as the itunes music folder, it gives me an error noting it is locked or that i dont have write permission to use it. my external drive on my old computer was the G drive, now it is the F drive on new one. can anyone please advise what to do other than copy all music over and have to completely recreate all playlists?

    polydorus, this was the response/post that i found and it was posted by sweepea on 9/4/2007. and all my music is now from the external drive to the itunes music folder on my laptop and it let me keep all my playlists. thank you again for your help!
    I had that problem too. I tried to remove iTunes from my computer and then download it again, but that did not make any difference. Then I tried polydorus' answer ("starting iTunes with the shift key held down, when asked to choose a library, navigate to your iTunes folder and choose iTunes Library.itl"), but that did not work either and that same message about the library being locked appeared again.
    Then I had a brainwave. I deleted that iTunes library.itl file. (To find it, go to My documents, then My Music, then iTunes, and there is the itunes library file). I now tried to open iTunes by clicking on the iTunes icon on my desktop, nothing happened, as if I had not clicked on it at all. I restored the file from the recycling bin to where it was before. But that also returned me to where I had been before, i.e. I got that locked-library message again. So I deleted that file again. Then I tried right-clicking on the iTunes icon. On the little menu that appeared, I clicked 'Open' and hey presto, suddenly the iTunes set-up assistant appeared and everything went smooth from then on. When I checked, there was a file called iTunes library.itl again and this one worked OK.
    By the way, I did not lose any of my music downloads or podcasts when I deleted that file, so it's definitely worth a try.

  • How to transfer itunes music from old computer to new computer

    I am sure someone has asked this question before but darned if I can find it anywhere...I have a new computer and want to transfer my music (which was loaded from CDs) from my old computer to my new one. I also want to keep my playlists that I spent time setting up. But when I plug my ipod touch into my new computer it simply asks me if I want to wipe all the music on it and replace it with what is in itunes on the new computer ie. nothing.
    Help!

    Quit iTunes and click over to your My Documents folder. Inside this folder, go to My Music. Inside My Music is your iTunes music folder. Now, copy this to a flash drive (if its big enough), an external hard drive, online using backup services like Mozy, or burned onto a CD-R or a DVD. You can even enable Disk Use on your iPod and move it there.
    After you copy the iTunes library, disconnect whatever you used and take it to your new computer.

  • How do i sync music from old imac to new iphone?

    I synced Handels music cd to old imac and nano. Then I bought new imac and new iphone. Never did migration. The new iphone is synced with new imac. I lost the Handel cd and I wanted to get the Handels music onto my new iphone. I want to transfer handels music from old imac (or old nano) to new imac or new iphone. Is this possible?
    Thanks for any input.

    You cannot transfer it directly to the iPhone, but you can copy the music to the new Mac. If they are on the same network you can drag the folder containing the music from the old iMac to the desktop on the new Mac. Then on the new mac drag and drop that folder onto iTunes in the dock bar. If they are not on the same network copy the folder to a data CD on the old Mac, then put the CD in the new Mac and drag the folder from the CD to iTunes.

  • How to transfer iTunes library from Mac Mini to New Macbook Pro?

    I have my wife's iPad and iPhone synced to our Mac Mini.  I purchased a new Macbook Pro for her.  I want to have her iPhone and iPad now sync to the Macbook Pro and not lose any apps or data along the way.  Both machines are running iTunes 11.2.1.  I have read other tutorials about transfering but they are off old versions of iTunes.  The new iTunes doesn't allow you to right click the device and "Transfer Purchases" manually any more.  I have home share turned on and have already transfered all the music to the new Macbook.
    Can someone write up a quick step by step that would allow me to sync to her new Pro without losing her app data and contacts?
    I also manually sync devices on all machines instead of auto sync on plugin.
    Thanks.

    I think the method for transferring libraries hasn't changed since the very first version of iTunes.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • I can't transfer my iTunes music from iCloud to my new iPhone

    Help.  We've been trying for days.  The phone was backed up to the cloud then when apple replaced the old phone with the new 4s I can't get my songs on my phone.  They r on my iPad and other phones in the house

    If the "new PC" is not an Apple, then your Apple Apps will not be compatible with the PC.  So you are NOT able to transfer them.
    Hope this helps

    Hello and welcome to the support community
    As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5.
