How to I transfer my iTunes acct from old computer to new computer?

I have upgraded to a newer, faster computer but I used my old computer to backup everyone in my family's apple devices.  How do I locate the proper files and then transfer them to the new computer so that everyone can continue to backup their phones and ipads?

    how do i transfer my itunes credit from an old account to my new account? Curiously, my money did not follow me....

    Maybe he had a kid and wanted to give them the gift of his iTunes account?
    Yes, but he wants to take his money out of it first.  Nice Dad.
    It's freaking ridiculous that this can't be done.
    You can provide suggestions to Apple at the Feedback page.

  • How can i transfer my iTunes library from old computer to new with all artwork and tags intact?

    Is it possible to just copy the iTunes folder on my Windows PC from the old computer to a hard drive and then to the new Mac Book, and have the library look the same?  Importing the files using the "add folder to library" function results in many files coming up with "unknown artist" and/or "unknown album."  But I didn't think just copying the iTunes folder from one computer to the other would work, without somehow also using the "add folder to library" function.
    I know there are other questions on site (one by me, actually), but I was hoping for any more information.  Many thanks, in advance.

    FYI, just in case anyone sees this and has the same problem, I posted another question beginning with the words "How can I get all music "tags" to transfer . . . " which outlines a solution.  Good luck to anyone with the same issue - the transfer can be done!

  • How do I transfer my Itune songs from old PC to new PC

    I am in the process of purchasing a new Desktop with Windows Vista. My songs on my IPOD Classic 120 has been sync on my old computer with Windows XP.
    I was told my IPOD 120 will not sync into my new computer. So do I transfer my curent songs on my classic to my new computer?

    Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
    To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • Why can't I transfer my itunes kibrary from old computer to my new one?

    I am trying to get my old library onto my new computer and the best way for me to do that is take them off of my I Phone 3gs and "transfer purchases" but when I try it the "authorize this computer " shows up and it is already authorized! So I still give my info, and it tells me this computer is already authorized and then does nothing. It keeps going on like that, it's a frustrating circle!

    Why can't I transfer my itunes kibrary from old computer to my new one?
    You can very easily.
    Simply copy the entire /Music/iTUnes folder from old computer to new computer.

    You need to installed it in the same way as you did on old machine.
    If you like to save one instance of the license then please do de-activate while uninstalling.
    Or if you have already used your "Two" instances of installation then you must need to de-activate one of the machine while
    uninstalling so it will release the instance for new installation.

  • How do i transfer my itunes playlist from one computer to another

    how do i transfer my itunesw playlist from one computer to another

    Jolly Giant hasn't posted in around a year...
    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • After hard drive transfer of itunes folder from old computer, music not showing in itunes on new mac

    Hi,
    I have just used the external drive method to transfer my itunes library from the old mac to my new macbook pro. I moved the whole itnues folder into the music folder, as directed, having removed the empty itunes folder than was there by default on the new macbook. But when I open itunes, none of the music appears, even though it is now in the right place. I am just offered the splach screen to 'scan for media', the same as when I opened iTunes when the computer first arrived. If I do that, I'm worried it's going to pick up everyting on the computer, and I only want my old itunes library to work!
    As I understand it from the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    ... (which I followed meticulously), all my music should now appear in iTunes. But it doesn't... any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Try copying the iTunes folder from your old computer again. Then, open iTunes holding the Option (Alt) key, so it will ask you for the library. Just go to the folder where the iTunes library is, and select it, so the songs should load correctly
