How to Transfer iTunes Info into ID3?

Hi all,
I Have my itunes Library sorted to my liking, but I want all the information (Artist, Genre, Year, Album Art etc) to be transfered to the Mp3's ID3 Tag so all the info is portable. Does anyone know how to use this? I'm using 10.5.3 OS X w/ the latest version of itunes, thanks again!

I Jut found that it copied my library into another folder and all of those are tagged! (Though the originals I have Placed in the Library remain unchanged? Also, In that new folder it made with copies w/ ID3 tag, sometimes there are two of each in a folder, does anyone know why? Ie.
Artist - Song
Artist - Song 1
Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks for the quick reply!
EDIT:
Sorry for the confusion, but here's my overall problem. I have all my music sorted in a folder as I like it, though I didn't know an option was on to copy my music over to another folder. What I would like ultimately is to get rid of all the music that it created, and have it use the original files as the m=path to the MP3's, though I would like to transfer all the ID3 Tags (Genre, Artist, Albumart, etc) that I have currently set. Is this possible? Or do I have to clear the library and individually add them back album-by-album with the copy-to-another-folder option off? Thanks again!

You don't transfer balances to devices as the balance is on your account, not the device.

How to transfer iTunes library to an external drive (thats easy!) but keeping the playlists musics on the computer?

How to transfer iTunes library to an external drive (thats easy!) but keeping the playlists musics on the computer?
Many thanks!

Select a single song with a broken link, press CTRL+I to Get Info, cancel when asked to locate the track and take a look at the Summary tab. Post back where iTunes is looking for the file. It begins file://localhost
Where is it really?
Please post back both paths so that I can make suggestions. Full paths please, exact spellings, you can replace your user name with <User> if needed.

I have a great number of Hi8 video tapes and I would like to burn them onto CDs through MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A), but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend?

Hello everybody! My question is; my parents and I have a great number of video tapes (Hi8 and mini DV) and since I purchased a MacBook Pro (ME665LL/A) I would like to burn them onto CDs, but I do not know how to transfer those footage into Mac. What would you recommend(it can be a software, a hardware or combination of both)? By the way, I also purchased an external DVD-RW(Asus SDRW-08D2S) separately.

Just Google "convert hi8 to dvd" and you'll find a number of software/hardware combinations that will allow you to do what you want. One important piece of the puzzle is whether or not you still have access to the video recorder(s) that the movies were shot on.
Good luck,
Clinton

HT1329 My old computer crashed but still have my IPOd with old music. How to transfer the music into new computer which has already music in it?

My old computer crashed and I still have my music in an IPod. How to transfer the music/playlists into a new computer which has already music in it? (Not possible to copy ITunes of old computer in IPod)
Thanks

Lucky for you, I just found out how to get the music stored on your iPod by messing around with it. I'm not much of an Apple user (I only have a shuffle), so I'm not 100% sure it would work the same way as yours.. but it's worth a shot.
if your iTunes didn't sync with your iPod yet,... that would be great..
1, Make sure your iTunes does not automatically sync with your iPod (I don't know if this would help..)
2, Click on your iPod and go to settings, check "Enabe Disk Use"
Your iPod should now have a partition on My Computer called AFJCHAW's IPOD or whatever you named your iPod... If you go to that disk, you'll notice there's nothing in there.
3, Click on Organize at the top right part of Windows Explorer(Windows 7, don't know how in XP..), go th the Folder and search options, view tab, and click on show hidden files, folders, and drives.
If you go back to your disk, you should be able to find a folder
4, It'll be pretty straightforward then. Go to iPod_Control/Music. You'll find folders there. Inside the folders are each of your music files (they're renamed but the Details would still be about the same).
If you did get your music files back from this procedure, then, yay! it worked!!
If you didn't,.... it should've worked..

How to transfer iTunes playlists/setups to a new PC?

I have set up lots playlists in iTunes. How do I transfer this to a new PC I have brought? I appreciate I have to copy my MP3 files to same folders etc. but how do I get them into iTunes without re-creating all the playlists again?

iTunes itself will not transfer the file to your USB flash drive, but you can drag and drop a file right from iTunes to somewhere else on your computer.
So, just open browse to the drive with Windows Explorer and drag and drop from iTunes to the flash drive. If you're not sure how to do that, do a Google search.

New iMac- how to transfer iTunes?

hi everyone
i recently bought a new imac, but my itunes is stil on my old laptop. i have an ipad 2 and iphone 3gs which i sync with itunes on my laptop, i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to transfer all the content accross to my imace so that the itunes on there becomes my default itunes and my devices recognise it as the default itunes. at the moment it comes up "your device is synced with another libary, erasse and sync?" something like that. bu ti just want to know how to transfer all my conent accross and for it to then be my default itunes. i tried the home sharing thing but it cant always find my computer and when i go on to "check for available downloads" it says i have all the available downloads on my imac even though i don't as i have recently purchased songs on my iphone but itunes on my imac says i don't have any purchases to download.
would much apreciate any help as i am looking to get rid of my laptop.
thanks
Tom

You don't tell us what model laptop you have. You may be able to connect the two computers:

If you haven't done a lot of personal configuring of how iTunes manages your media you can go with the simple version here:

New computer...how to transfer itunes?

HI guys! I just got a new computer for college. Does anyone know how to transfer the itunes I have now into my new computer? Or would I have to re-download itunes onto my new computer and get ALL THOSE songs onto itunes again? Please help!

There are a few things you could do, from networking the two computers, using an external hard drive or even using your iPod to make the move. Have a look at this User Tip: Migrating iTunes for Windows to a new PC
If you can network the computers there is also this one: Copying songs over a network to use with iTunes for Windows
