HT3819 Is it OK for me to use home sharing just as a way of getting my music from my old laptop to my new one before I go off to uni?

I literally just need to move all my music and TV shows that are on the itunes on my old laptop onto my new one before I go to uni next week, is this the quickest way? Or will homesharing get really confusing as my little brother is then nabbing my old laptop for himself and will be doing his ipod on there for him?

It is not the fastest way, but you can do this.
Just copy from one machine to the other.
Type " move itunes library" into the google search bar.

  • I cannot find my original disks for Adobe Web Premium CS4.  How do I move the software from my old laptop to a new one?

    I purchased a new laptop and am in the process of installing all my software.  Due to a recent move, I cannot find my installation disks for Web Premium CS4.  Is there a way to move the software from the old laptop to the new one?  I am a casual user of the software and do not want to upgrade to a new version.

  • I recently bought a macbook pro and i made a new apple id. my last macbook had a different id as well and i was wondering if there's a way of transferring all my music from the other laptop to the new one without having to use my old apple id?

    i recently bought a macbook pro and i made a new apple id. my last macbook had a different id as well and i was wondering if there's a way of transferring all my music from the other laptop to the new one without having to use my old apple id? if it makes any type of difference i have an iphone 5 so i tried transfering the music but it only transfered certain things and not my entire album.

    Making a new Apple ID was the worst thing you could of done. This is very bad to do. Not sure why people do that. Your Apple ID is Your Apple ID. You only need one and it is best to only have one Apple ID for all apple devices.
    Sorry I don't have any suggestions for you.

    I can't deauthorise my daughter's last computer from iTunes because it has crashed. We have three computers in the house but I can't authorise my new MacbookPro for iTunes or homesharing because it says I have 5 computers authorised (I don't). I can't even get my music from the iTunes library on my old Macbook onto my new one, because it won't let me sync my iPhone 5 with my old Macbook, as I can't update the iTunes software. So I have a new MacbookPro and a new iPhone 5 and I can't get any of my music on either of them. I feel singularly depressed.

    As you have more than 1 computer authorised then you should be able to log into your account on your computer's iTunes (Store > View My Account) and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need : authorising and deauthorising.

  • How do I transfer music from my old shuffle to the new one?  Can't find my old user ID.  Is that music I paid for still available to me?  Thank you so much.

    It sounds like you want to transfer music from your iPod shuffle to iTunes, so that you can it to your new iPod shuffle. These articles will walk you through transferring your music to iTunes or downloading the past purchases.

  • I transferred all my Itunes music from an old PC to my new one with Windows 7.  Now I cannot edit "artist" or anything else for the songs.  It is all greyed out and I cannot enter information. Is there any way to correct this problem?

    I transferred all of my music from an older PC to my new one with Windows 7.  Now I cannot edit selected songs.  The information is greyed out and I can't type over it (on all my music except NEW downloads).  Can anyone help?  I even have a few songs with NO artist tag and I can't write anything in them either.

    It's a permissions problem. Try this: right click on your iTunes icon and choose "run as administrator" that might fix it.

  • How do I get my pictures from my old mac to my new one using CDs?

    I had an old mac desktop that I had all my pictures on, so when I got the newest desktop i downloaded all my pictures on to CDs but my new mac wont open the pictures up in iphoto. I think it's because iphoto has bean updated alot since my old mac. So when I put it in an old mac laptop it worked. and I could download my pictures to iphoto. But I really need them on my desktop and im not going to spend days and days emailing picture by picture to my desktop (because there is a lot of pictures) someone please help me!

    details are critical
    What version of iPHoto did you have? What version now? how did you make the CDs (share burn? export? what?) How are you trying to "open" the pictures? Exactly what happens? what error messages? anything else that might help?

  • How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
    If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

  • HT3819 how do i get my iTunes library from my old laptop to my new mac (my purchases have moved across but not my own music files)

    How do I get my itunes library from my old laptop to my new imac? My purchases are showing on the new imac but not my own music files.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    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 iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
