Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

Can I copy my iTunes from one Mac to another to a distant location?

I have 2 homes one in NYC and the other in upstate NY. I have multiple Macs at both locations all using Snow Leopard and the latest version of iTunes(9). I only have 1 iTunes library I maintain at the upstate location and have to bring my iPod to the NYC location to play my music. Can I not copy my iTunes library to the NYC location using Home Sharing or using some other method? I often forget to bring my iPod and am left without my music.

Since I had a problem with my Mac's drive that suddenly failed (I am able to read ONLY), I replaced the internal HD with my emergency HD that I had backedup a few months before. I would like to know if there's a way to copy my settings from one mac to another? Is there a specific folder for all apps or do I have to find out each and every single file for each app?
I need the settings for
System (view, font, color,)
Finder (view, etc)
iTunes (that include all library, playlists, etc),
Firefox (Bookmarks, settings & plug-ins),
Safari (Bookmarks, settings & plug-ins),
Address Book (contacts)
Thuderbird (emails accounts, contacts, passwords, etc)
Stickies (stickies on the dock - i have info on there unsaved)
Filezilla (FTP infos)
Would appreciate.
Thnx.
All that info is found in your user/library folder, I just did a 60 machine rollout and copied all those settings from user/library, just be forewarned that if you upgrade software those setting will not take on the machine, for example Adobe CS 3,4 will not usable by CS5. let us know if you need more help. Also make sure you copy most of your preferences in the user/library/prefences folder.
Note: If you are using an identical backup with all apps and user settings, you can just copy all folders from user to your new home folder. Remember that only if the image or backup is identical to your production OS.

Can I use TM to copy my iTunes from old Mac to new Mac ?

I just bought a MB Air and I have 30 GB of music on my MB Pro. Can I use the TM backup from the MBP to transfer the data to my MB Air ?
Unfortunately Migration Assistant doesnt allow you to be too specific regarding files etc.
Thanks

Yes I understood that from your first post. I thought I was missing something in Migration that would allow me to specify the files to transfer.
No, it doesn't.
Where does the plist file go and whats it for ?
it goes to the same place on the new computer as it was on the old one. It's the preference file for itunes. with it once you copy your itunes folder and start itunes, itunes will look exactly as it did on the old computer.

Is there any way to transfer itunes from a mac running 10.4 to an iphone 5

Is there any way to transfer itunes from a mac running 10.4 to an iphone 5?

Nope. Very least is to have Snow Leopard and the latest iTunes on the Mac.

You have to update to 10.6.8 first.
Then, if your machine qualifies, this explains how to get Mavericks:

Can I sync 2 iphones with a single copy of iTunes on my Mac?

Can I sync 2 phones (mine and my husband's) to a single copy of iTunes on our Mac?

You can sync as many as you like with one itunes/computer

After installing the latest of iTunes the original files for almost 300 songs cannot be found for syncing to my iPod. The files are songs that were bought from iTunes, and copied into iTunes from CDs.

Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

HT3819 I have Yamaha a/v receiver connected to network but it does not pickup my itunes from my Mac computer. My os is snow leopard.

I have a Yamaha RX-A2010 A/V receiver which is connected to internt but it does not receive my itunes from my Mac computer.

Well, I see a few things that can be in the way:
1. MAC address filtering is really not a security measure since the MAC addresses are sent in the clear (unencrypted) and many devices can have their MAC addresses changed easily with software. I'd recommend losing the MAC filtering and just use WPA2 and be even more secure than you are currently.
2. If you disabled the firewalls during the install, that may have been a bad thing. The installer is supposed to create ports through the firewalls during install, so if they are disabled and later enabled, the ports are not there.
3. Does your printer show up if you type its IP into a browser?

Just got new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now whenAudio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do?

Just got brand new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now when I p/back a track in logic I get audio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do? Its the same version of logic and all other functions seem fine!

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

how do i copy photo's from my mac to my iPad

With the iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs on which you can specify the content that you want to sync to the iPad - one of those tabs should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.

How can I transfer music and iTunes from my mac to my iPhone?

I have a macbook air and need to transfer some of my music and itunes from my mac to my newly updates iphone4. Previously I used to drag what I wanted from my itunes to my phone but now it doesn't work. Any ideas?

First step, of course, is to plug your iPhone into your Macbooks Air. Then, you need to set up syncing how you want it in iTunes (on the MBA). If you want to be able to drag and drop music, select "manually manage music" on the Summary pane in iTunes.
