HT3819 computers in 2 different countries, how to transfer library to new computer

Hi does anyone know if it is possible to transfer my library from a computer in Australia to my new computer in Uk??

Hi...
Purchases made from one country cannot be used in another.
And be aware for iTunes purchases, your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

How to transfer library when old computer gone and old iPod gone

I recently got a new iPod Nano (lost the old one). I transferred some songs from my library to the iPod but not all the ones I want now. Then my old laptop died completely--no access to library. I can SEE the old songs on iTunes. How do I transfer them to new computer if the old computer is gone? This is driving me crazy!

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?

New computer ?? on how to move library to new computer

I have done a search and followed some directions regarding this. But I'm a complete dummy when it comes to this. I'm hoping for some gently advice :-))
I have a new computer and want to move all my itunes to the new computer since it is faster. My new computer has Vista on it. I have read thru some searches regarding this, and this is what I've done so far.
I have made the new computer authorized under my account. And when I did that my music library did load on the new computer. None of my videos or movies moved to the new computer, is this supposed to be the case?? Also, when the music showed on the new computer, it did not show under the different playlist names that I have. Just the entire library. How do I get the new itunes to look like it does on the old computer (breaking down all the different playlists we have). We have 3 different ipods and different list for different family members.
I would appreciate any help..but please keep in mind. I really need an itunes
for dummy book! LOL Thanks in advance

I agree with that last statement, there does need to be an iTunes for Dummy's book. I could use it myself. Anyways...
To put your videos back in iTunes, you'll have to copy them from your old computer to the new one. Copy them onto a flash drive, and put them on the new PC. Then select: File/ Add File (Folder) to Library, and pick the File you want to add (folder of stuff you want to add).
You'll have to re-make the playlists yourself, sorry. Were they "Smart Playlists"? Because there is an option for these in the file menu. If your syncing iPods, watch out. Vista doesn't like iPods much. I've been having massive trouble putting mysic on my new Classic, and before that, updating my 30 GB Video. Good luck to you, and your family.

How to transfer library to new laptop

Hi all
I am hoping someone can help me!
I have bought a new laptop and installed iTunes onto it. My iTunes library however is on my husbands laptop and I cannot work out how to transfer it from his laptop to my new one. I've tried the "Export" option under File menu but it doesn't seem to work.
Can anyone please explain to me in simple steps (and non techie language!!) how I export my library? I do not have an exernal harddrive either, I only have a small capacity memory stick so if I need to put the music on the stick I may need to repeat the process a few times!
Thank you in advance for any help

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.
Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

How to transfer library to new PC after hardware failure

Help! My PC hard drive crashed and I had to purchase a new computer. However, iTunes won't sync the unpurchased music from my iPod Touch to the new computer. How can I get my library onto my new PC? Thank you in advance!!

I have a similar problem: PC with my original library died. 2nd library was set up on my work machine when I plugged in my iPod to recharge - but it sucked in all of the sound effects files from Windows Themes.
I want to create a new library, import all of the content already on my iPod, and then be able to purchase, download and install new files - what to do??

HOw to transfer Itunes to new computer so that existing Ipods linked to that account are recognized on new PC

Old PC Windows XP. Now Purchasing a new PC(Windows 7). Will need to transfer existing Itunes account/music/apps to the new PC. Once done, will existing Ipods be recognized on the new PC so that syncing and transfers are not an issue. I know that when I connect our Ipods to our second PC Iwe have limited options when it comes to syncing/transferring.

As long as you are syncing to the same library you were before then it should be a relatively seamless transition. To move the entire library:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

How to transfer license to new computer?

Hi. I have Photoshop Elements 7 and Adobe Premiere Elements 7 installed on my computer. I have bought a new computer. I won't be using the programs on my old one.
My question is how to transfer the license from the old computer to the new one? Any advice is much appreciated.
Angel

Angel,
You just need to uninstall PSE7 and PRE 7 from your old computer, this will delete the licensing information from the machine and then use the same serial keys to install PSE and PRE on your new machine. Works for me.

How to transfer music to new computer

My daughter wants to transfer all her music from an old macbook to her new MBP in college. She has already started a new iTunes library on the new laptop but it doesn't have much in it yet. She wants to consolidate all the content on the old MB into her MBP.

She could use her back up copy to do this. If she doesn't keep a back up, she needs to, as hard drives can and do fail.
You can transfer the files via migration assistant (comes with every mac). She can copy songs to a CD, DVD, flash drive, external drive, ipod,etc.
Go to the top of this page, click Support, type "move itunes library" or similar into the search support bar. You will get several helpful articles.

How to transfer Elements to new computer

I bought a new computer because the old one would not handle Elements in a speedy enough fashion after I upgraded to Elements 11. I don't have an installation disc, but got the program as a download directly from Adobe. If I copy the files from the old computer to the new, will I still have full functionality? Or do I need Adobe to send me a new download?

You need to keep your download for situations like this. You can either download the trial and enter your serial number into it, or go to the main page of adobe.com, look for My Adobe, and you should still have a download link in your adobe store account. Either way, this time save the .zip or .dmg for future reference.
