How to transfer music from old computer to new one

The logic board is shot on my old iBook. I bought a new one. I can access the old one through target disk mode. I replaced the iTunes folder on the new one with the iTunes folder from the old one but the music doesn't show up in the library. If I go to the iTunes music folder and click on a song it gets added to the new library, but I have 4000 songs. My admin user name is the same on both computers. What's the secret?

Where the article talks about using an iPod you simply transfer directly between the old hard drive and the new hard drive.

  • Transfer music from old computer to new.

    Seems I cannot figure out how to transfer my songs from my old computer to new. I am on ITunes 7 on the old and new machine. I have tried export but it fails when the 2nd CD is asked for during Export. I have tried back-up but the new machine will not accept the CD. Any suggestions to an ITunes user who is suffering enough with switching computers?

    Hi yo-dt,
    You can also use a portable Hard Drive, or an iPod to move your library successfully. Read the articles bellow:

  • How to transfer word from old computer to new computer

    how can I transfer/load microsoft word program from old computer to macbook

    Was your old computer a Mac?  If not, I believe Microsoft Word for Mac is a separate product than Microsoft Word for Windows, requiring a separate purchase.
    If your old computer was a Mac, then you can use Migration Assistant (in your Applications > Utilities folder) to move it.

  • Help needed in how to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer

    Hello!
    I'm really struggling in how to work a way to transfer the music from my iTunes on my old computer to my new computer without wiping all of the music from my iPod... does anyone have any ideas?
    Cheers muchly,
    Sarahjk

    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
    To use your iPod on two computers without accidentally erasing it, change it to manual update on your old computer before connecting it to the new one. Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have loaded iTunes on your new computer and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    Another way to load iTunes on your new PC is to copy the songs directly from the iPod. There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. As iTunes 7 is just out some of these may not have caught up with it yet though I haven't experienced any problems with the Mac software I use.

  • How to transfer music from old ipod to newer ipod

    When I attempt to transfer, itunes sync would only allow to transfer if you clear ipod to allow transfer from another computer. unfortunately it cleared the external hardrive that had all the music not the ipod itself. is there a step by step way tutorial to do this correctly?

    Go to iTunes, sync new iPad and all your music should be there.

  • How to i transfer actions from old computer to new one?

    Hi!
    I bought a new computer and installed Adobe Photosho 4 on it. But as i had tons of actions on my old computer, is it maybe possible to transfer those to my new comp?
    Regards,
    Hanno

    I presume you mean Photoshop CS4?
    Save the actions in sets (very important) on the old computer and then copy the saved *.atn files across to the new computer.
    They belong in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Presets\Actions

  • Need to transfer songs from old computer to new one..??

    I have a laptop that I was using while my main computer was in the shop for repair. In that time I got an Ipod 30 Gig. I connected it to the laptop and downloaded quite a few songs. After I got my main 'puter back, I installed all the relevent software and so on for the Ipod. I downloaded some new songs and videos to this computer, but it will not go on to my Ipod. I plug in and it asks if I want to overwrite my old library? Well heck no! I want to merge them..so to speak. Well, I let it overwrite but it didn't put any new songs or video on it. Said I was using another library at this time. !!! This is getting very aggrevating. Does anyone know how to get all my songs/video's on one computer and all of them on the Ipod as well???

    The iPods will not auto sync betten mulitiple computers. You will have to set it to sync manually. Search for iPod multiple computers there are lots of posts telling you how to do this.

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

    How can i get all my music off my old windows xp version with itunes to my new vista with itunes

    I wonder if you might know how to answer this somewhat related question: I, unfortunately, copied my iTunes music library onto an external hard drive before I read about the consolidating option. Stupidly, I then did the consolidation. Now I have each song listed twice in my library and one of each is an orphan, so I have to manually locate each one. That's a lot of music! Is there a way to undo my stupidity?

  • How to sync music from old computer to new and add music

    I can see all my music in the library, but since I got a new computer,  can't add the new music I just bought and download to my shuffle.

    Hi clcaldwell46,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have signed into your Apple ID and are seeing all of your purchases on your new Windows 8 computer. The reason you may not be able to sync is because although you can see the music and stream it, it may not actually be located locally on your computer. Please use the attached article as a reference and for steps to download all of your purchased music to your iTunes library.
    Download past purchases
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    Download previous purchases on Mac or PC
    Make sure your Mac or PC meets these system requirements:
    iTunes 10.3 or later
    You need iTunes 10.6 or later to download previously purchased movies and TV shows.
    iTunes account in a country where iTunes in the Cloud is available
    iTunes Store
         1.  Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store.
         2.  Click Purchased in the Quick Links section.
         3.  Select the content type that you want to download (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books).
         4.  Select Not in My Library to view purchased content that isn't on your computer.
         5.  Find the item that you want to download. You can browse using the menu to the left. If you have more than 2,000 songs, you will see Recent Purchases instead of All Songs or Albums.
         6.  Click the Download icon next to the item you want to download.
    If an item is already in your library, the Download icon won't appear.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Cannot transfer Library from old computer to new one.

    We got a new computer, and tried to export the Library via 1g Flash drives, but all that got us was a list of the names of the songs. Then tried to copy the songs to the flash drives, and then copy them into the new computer's Itunes program, but the songs would not play, nor would they transfer to the Ipod. Please help.
