HT3819 Can I transfer music from one computer to another via home sharing?

Can I transfer my music from one computer to another via home sharing?

So long as they are on the same wifi network, yes.
Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.
If there's a lot of stuff in the library you're transferring from, the transfer may take some time.

  • How do I transfer music from one PC to another using Home Sharing?

    I've read the article but I'm having some issues.
    I've set up home sharing on both of my computers, but on both of them, when I click on the home sharing button on the sidebar, it is completely blank. I see no music and I don't see any "Import" button. Can someone tell me what is going on?
    Thank you.

    Don't bother with HomeSharing.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • It says 'autorisation is need to access...' when I transfer music from one laptop to another using Home Sharing

    When I go to transfer my library from my old netbook running XP to my new one running Windows 7, I get a message after all the library is transfered saying 'autorisation is need to access...' on all the transfered files. I managed to successfully transfer a few hundred files but my laptop restarted when my anti-virus updated and since then I havnt been able to transfer anything else.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi lexipuppy,
    I dont know if you have your music on your other computer was on itunes, but if it was, make sure that you signed into your itunes account on your other computer. If you are signed in then your music should show up in your library.

  • How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

    How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

    Welcome to the forum.
    I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
    Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
    Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
    Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How can I transfer music from one computer to a mac without burning cds?

    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.0.x)  

    Or, if you have a network established that both computers are on, you can transfer your "iTunes" folder from one computer to the other. That's what I just did, (from my PC to my new Mac), and it worked just fine. (I only lost the files that I haven't deauthorized on the PC yet.)

  • Can't Transfer email from one computer to another

    I am trying to transfer email accounts from a 17" Power PC iMac to a 20" Intel iMac. The two computers are connected with a firewire cable. I have archived the mailboxes into the public folder on the 17" iMac and am able to see the 17" public folder from the 20" iMac but they (the mbox files) have a little red minus that looks like a stop sign on top of them. Each one has nothing in it whereas the archived mbox files o the old computer are large files. I gone crazy trying to change all the permissions and I should be able to access everything but can't. Can anyone help me figure this out?
    Carol

    I think you are going about this all wrong. If you simply want to copy the Mail files from one computer to the other then copy the /Home/Library/Mail/ folder's content from the PPC computer to the /Home/Library/Mail/ folder on the Intel computer. Then locate the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file on the PPC computer and copy it to the same location on the Intel computer.
    Do not change any permissions, do not archive anything. After you have copied everything you can launch Mail on the Intel computer. It should then have all your mailboxes as well as your email account information.
    If you are trying to move all your essential data from the PPC computer to the Intel one, then you may wish to review the following:
    Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
    From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
    Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
    For FireFox:
    /Home/Library/Applications Support/FireFox
    /Home/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist

  • How can i transfer apps from one computer to another?

    My i-pod touch was on one computer and i would like to change my apps from that computer to another.

    The simplest solution is to copy the iTunes folder from the other computer to the new one. This will transfer everything including music, apps, etc. The folder is /Home/Music/iTunes/.
