How to move music to new HDD

I added a new HDD on my Dell studio xps desktop. I moved my itunes folder to the new drive. Now when I start itunes it sets up a new itunes folder in the c: drive. I went into advance and said the path is now on the k: drive. But itunes doesn't see all my content.
Very frustrated.

Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, click on Choose Library, and point it to that drive.

I am having trouble learning how to move music from my PC to my iPOD via usb.

Hello, I have a new gen 4 16g ipod touch and I'm having trouble with the learning curve. I cannot figure out how to move music from my itunes to the ipod.

Itunes tells me I have the most updated ios for my ipod.
No wifi and would like to use usb.
I'd be happy to provide any information that can help you help me.
My thanks.

1. You connect your iPod to iTune (computer)
2. Select your device (iPod) on the right column
3. Select Music on the top of screen
4. Check Sync Music and select other options
5. Tap Sync on bottom right to complete the Task

Take your pick. You have several choices. The easiest, if your computers are networked, would be to drag and drop between the computers. Otherwise copying the files to a thumb drive or DVD then taking the thumb drive or DVD to the other computer is probably easiest. Although you could just upload the files to an online file transer site then download them to the other computer.

How to move music to correct user

One child downloaded Dad's CD's into child's user. Child later received his own mini. Have a total of 5 users and 3 have ipods so far.
Is it advisable to have separate libraries or to share music, or to create different playlists?
Advise appreciated in advance - am mom with no ipod whom everyone looks to to solve issue!

Hello,
I've gone over this page several times - It doesn't
indicate how to move music to another user. For
instance, would I copy the itunes folder to the
rightful user, or would I click File and Add a Folder
to the rightful user?
THANKS!
Doesn't really make any difference. If the user has access to the files where they are, then you can just add them to iTunes. If not, you can copy them to that user or give him access.
Simplest way is to just put all the files in one location on the computer where everybody will have access to them. Saves space and such. Then change each user's iTunes "Library Location" so that when they rip CD's, the music is put in that single location.
Every user has his own "library", but the library is more like a link to the files, not the files themselves. Follow me?

HOw to Move music from one iPod to a New iPod

Hi
Two questions actually;
1) My wife wants an iPod, and wants hers to have all the same music as mine, is that possible?
If not
2) Our current iPod is only 30G and I want to upgrade to a 120G. I have not been able to find any info about how to move all the songs to my new iPod.
I tried searching this site but a lot of unrelated 'stuff' comes up.
Thanx.

If you're both syncing from the same computer, on the same user account this will be incredibly easy. Just plug the iPod in, and it will automatically sync with the library, just make sure the preferences are alright.
If the songs are all on the computer, merely plugging in your new one and syncing will transfer all the songs.

Having difficulty using iPod mini to move music to new computer

I followed the article titled "How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer" and I am really stuck. I deleted all the music from my iPod (it's all still on iTunes on my old computer" but the music will not transfer to my iPod so that I can transfer it to the new computer. And, the iPod is not being recognized by the new computer.
Additionally, I cannot restore my iPod - there is some sort of error. Not sure what to do from here.
Help, please.

New computer ?? on how to move library to new computer

I have done a search and followed some directions regarding this. But I'm a complete dummy when it comes to this. I'm hoping for some gently advice :-))
I have a new computer and want to move all my itunes to the new computer since it is faster. My new computer has Vista on it. I have read thru some searches regarding this, and this is what I've done so far.
I have made the new computer authorized under my account. And when I did that my music library did load on the new computer. None of my videos or movies moved to the new computer, is this supposed to be the case?? Also, when the music showed on the new computer, it did not show under the different playlist names that I have. Just the entire library. How do I get the new itunes to look like it does on the old computer (breaking down all the different playlists we have). We have 3 different ipods and different list for different family members.
I would appreciate any help..but please keep in mind. I really need an itunes
for dummy book! LOL Thanks in advance

I agree with that last statement, there does need to be an iTunes for Dummy's book. I could use it myself. Anyways...
To put your videos back in iTunes, you'll have to copy them from your old computer to the new one. Copy them onto a flash drive, and put them on the new PC. Then select: File/ Add File (Folder) to Library, and pick the File you want to add (folder of stuff you want to add).
You'll have to re-make the playlists yourself, sorry. Were they "Smart Playlists"? Because there is an option for these in the file menu. If your syncing iPods, watch out. Vista doesn't like iPods much. I've been having massive trouble putting mysic on my new Classic, and before that, updating my 30 GB Video. Good luck to you, and your family.

How to move music in 3 locations to network drive

When I recently installed iTunes, I added music to my iTunes from 2 locations - My Music, My eMusic. I have also put music into the iTunes folder. So, my music is located in 3 different locations.
Now I would like to move everything to a new network drive and keep it all there instead of my laptop. I understand how to move just the iTunes folder and playlists but how do I go about changing the location of all my music and still maintain my library and playlists?
I appreciate your help!

It would be much easier if you would accept all your music being in in the iTunes Music folder on the network drive.
Then you just set the location of the new iTunes Music folder in your preferences and consolidate.
There is an article on moving iTunes music file this here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305451
If you must retain your folder arrangement outside the iTunes Music folder then you can't get all your meta data, but you can get some.
This involves manually editing iTunes Music Library.xml with WordPad. You can use search and replace to set new path values. It goes without saying that you should work on a copy of the xml file.
If you look in the xml file you will see that lines starting with:
<key>Location</key> contain paths. These are what have to be changed.
I would say that if you can't work how to do this your self, you should not attempt it.
Once you have all your music files where you want them, you recreate your iTunes Music folder from the edited version of the xml file according to this method:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313
I would recommend that you copy your files to the new location leaving everything intact where it is. This means you retain a working set up while you experiment. You can also use the shift key start mechanism to create a new library file to experiment on so you keep the original intact. Or at least make a backup copy of your original library file.
I should add that it if this fills you with horror and you can accept losing metadata, you just copy your music to the new locations, then with iTunes closed, drag iTunes Library.itl from the iTunes folder to your desktop. Then when you open iTunes an empty library is created. The you just use File>>Add folder to Library... to add your music folders. Also set the new location of the iTunes Music folder in preferences.
