HT1473 How can I move my iTunes software from one computer to another?

I purchased a new PC.  I tried copying my iTunes software to the new computer, but it wouldn't open.  So I downloaded a new copy of iTunes to the new computer.  When I tried to sync my iPhone to the new iTunes, it wouldn't allow me to put the music on my iPhone into the iTunes library because my new PC wasn't "Authorized".
How to I move the iTunes software from my old PC to the new PC so I won't have this sync problem?

See this migrate iTunes library post for moving your library across.
You don't generally copy installed programs, but rather use their installers on each machine.
You can authorize the new computer from the Store menu. The menu bar is initially hidden but can be revealed with CTRL+B.

    I also plan on purchasing a new iPhone in the next month or so.  Can I move my songs from my iPod to that too?

    Easy. Copy it from the old Mac to the new one.
    There are a variety of techniques including Setup Assistant (as soon as you get your new MacBook Air, it will ask you if you want to transfer information from another computer), Migration Assistant (if you elect to transfer information later), enabling file sharing between the two computers, or copying your music to a flash drive or other storage device followed by importing it to iTunes.

    Once your music library and everything else you want to transfer from the MacBook Pro resides on the new MBA, sync your iPod to the MBA. Sync the iPhone too when you get it, and they will both have identical iTunes music libraries.

  • Can I move my itunes collection from one computer to another?

    Can I move an internal hard drive which has my itunes library (music transferred from my cd collection as well as music purchased from itunes) from one computer to another?  The second computer already has itunes on it but no sopied music from cd's.

    Yes, you can move the hard drive physically from one machine to another provided you are placing it as a secondary drive in the new machine. You can connect to the transferred library by holding down shift as you start iTunes, then browsing to the relevant folder and opening the iTunes Library.itl file inside. You may however want to reorgnize the drive if you're disposing of the old machine as its system files etc. will be redunant. In this case I suggest you move the iTunes folder to the root of the drive before you connect to the library. You should also deauthorise the old machine before you dismantle it.
    Ideally you should take a backup of your library before you start just in case something goes wrong. See this User Tip.for a suggested technique. Works with external drive or network shares.

  • How can I move PSE 7.0 from one computer to another without a disc?

    I had PSE 7.0 on an old laptop. I bought a new one and cannot find my old installation disc. How can I move it from one PC to another? I have not been able to get to the Adobr support center.

    You do not want to move Adobe applications between machines.  Download and install the application.

  • How can I transfer my iTunes data from one computer to another? PS. My old computer won't turn on

    I Recently bought a new computer and I need to transfer all my iTunes data from my old computer to the new one, how can I do that? And by the way, my old computer won't turn on

    Hello Nousernamebrah
    Well get get your music from your old computer to your new computer, the old computer would have to work and turn on to access the files to be copied over. You also can access any previous purchased music and download it to your new computer as well. Check out the articles below for more information.

    My computer that has my itunes account is about to die. I need to move the entire account to my new computer. How do I do this without losing all my itunes library? I have several different ipods that access this account.

    One way is to Drag and Drop your  Entire iTunes Folder   from your Old Computer, to an External Hard Drive...
    Then Drag and Drop it to your New Computer...

  • How can I transfer my itunes library from one computer to another?

    I have my itunes on my laptop which is dying. The cdrw drive is broken so I cannot make a backup copy of itunes. Therefore, I would like to transfer my itunes into my new desktop computer which has a DVD-RW drive. This way I will be able to backup my itunes once it is transferred onto the desktop. I have a 1GB flash USB drive. Could I use this to transport the itunes data from the laptop to the desktop? Any other suggestions? I have about 2GB of songs on my itunes on the laptop. I also have about 1GB of podcasts and video podcasts. Will this transfer also? THank

    These article reference using an iPod, but really they apply to almost any removable storage you want to use like an external hard drive or a USB thumb drive.

  • How do I move my iTunes library from one computer to another?

    Is it accessaible online or how do I do it?

    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.
    If you do it properly there is no need to "import" anything on the new computer, you connect iTunes to a copy of the original library and it just works.

  • How do I move my itunes account from one country to another?

    How do I move my itunes account from one country to another?  I set up my itunes account in the United States and now I live in England.  I would like to transfer my purchases from my US account to my British account and then download them onto my new ipod.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes and I have updated my Windows 7 operating system.  I have tried to get in touch with apple and the advisor said he could not help me.  Ideas? 

    Before you change the country, note the following:
    - you must use any remaining store credit on your account
    - download all purchased content
    - ensure you have no current rentals(if you do, you'll have to wait for them to expire)
    - provide a new payment(such as a credit or debit card) associated with a valid billing address in the UK or an iTunes Gift Card purchased in the UK
    - content purchased from the iTunes Store is country-specific. If you wish to upgrade any of your iTunes Store content to iTunes Plus, you'll need to do this before you change countries. The content you purchased while your account was set to the previous country will not be eligible for upgrade once you've changed countries.
    - after you change countries, you will no longer receive application update notifications in iTunes for the apps you purchased in your original country. However, you'll still receive update notifications on your iOS device for any applications installed on it. In addition, you'll be able to download previously purchased applications again for free if they are available on your new country's store. You will not be charged and the download will not appear on your Purchased page. If a previously purchased application is not available in your new country, you will not be able to download it again for free.
    - If you have an iTunes Match subscription, you can't change countries until the subscription has expired.
    - If you have purchased a Season Pass, you cannot change the country associated with your account until that season is done airing and the last episode of the season has been added to the iTunes Store.
    Taking the above into consideration, here's how to change your country:
    1. Open iTunes and click Sign In.
    2. Enter your iTunes Store account name and password, then click Account Info.
    3. On the Apple Account Information page, click Change Country or Region.
    4. Enter the updated information and save your changes.

    Open picture B, the one you wish to select the hair from to add to the picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the hair. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the hair to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position the hair from picture B.
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and the hair (B) on a separate layer.
