  • How can I transfer my whole iTunes library from a PC to another without losing any information?

    Hi, I have a very large iTunes library which is the result of so many years of listening to music. Although my computer is pretty old and slow and I would like to buy me another one. However, I cannot risk losing all the playcounts, ratings and information that I've been adding through all these years and the "Home Sharing" feature doesn't keep it (more specifically, erases all the ratings and playcounts). So, I would appreciate any advice on how could you do it.
    I've read that if you click on "Export library" and then modify it with a text editor changing the location of the main folders it would be a way, but as I said my computer is pretty old and ran out of memory a couple of years ago, and I have like thousands of songs that with this system I should change it manually one by one, and that would take me weeks to do it. There has to be an easier way!
    Thank you in advance!

  • How can I send a whole ITunes library from one computer to another? AIM

    Okay, I am trying to send a whole library of roughly 800 songs using Aol Instant Messenger. I have tried many different ways, sending the ITL file, the itunes 4 music library. When I tried these and replaced the library with it, it worked, but didn't know the original locations of the songs. the whole itunes folder would of taken too long. Is there any easier way to do this? Thanks.

    The files that you are sending are only database files that tell Itunes where the songs are and your ratings playcounts etc - that is why on the 2nd computer it cannot find the song files.
    You need to actually send the song files themselves which as you all ready have pointed out are probably too big to do via AIM.

    assuming all your media files are in the default location, copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music to the USB stick.

  • How to move my iTunes library from Windows PC to new Mac

    I have been using a PC running Microsoft Windows 7 64 bit for the last 12 months or so. I have now purchased a Mac. I want to move my iTunes library from the PC to the Mac.
    The PC setup is running the latest version of iTunes for Windows, however, the music etc. is not stored in the default location, instead it is stored on an external HDD (it's approximately 700GB, so too large to have on the internal HDD).
    Anyone know the best/easiest way to make the switch and in doing so maintain all my playlists etc.?

    So, what I have done so far to try to achieve this is:
    I have my Windows PC with it's NTFS formatted external HDD containing the music etc.
    I have my Mac with a new external HDD formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    On the Windows PC:
    * I opened up iTunes.
    * Went into Preferences, and then under the Advanced tab I checked both 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised' and 'Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library', so that all the files would be in the main iTunes Media folder when I copy it over.
    * Then File, Library, Organise Library and ticked the 'Consolidate Files' so that it moves any files that aren't in the right folder.
    Next I copied the files over. So I copied the updated media folder from the NTFS (Windows) external HDD onto the Mac external HDD.
    And I copied the files from in My Documents/Music/iTunes on the Windows PC to User/Music on the Mac.
    But this doesn't seem to have done it.

  • Can I drag and drop a copy of my iTunes library from a portable hard drive more than once?

    Can I drag and drop a copy of my iTunes library from a portable hard drive more than once?  Not copy it, but actually drag and drop it into my music folder on my computer more than once if needed?

    Nothing is going to stop you from dragging it in multiple times, but what exactly are you trying to do?  Are you trying to get iTunes to look through the folder and pick up newly added song files?

  • HT1918 Is there a way to transfer iTunes Store purchases or an iTunes library from one user to another?

    Is there a way to transfer iTunes Store purchases or an iTunes library from one user to another?
    Historically, I have my own laptop and my 8 year old daughter has a laptop as well.  I also have an iPad and iPhone.  In the past, I have managed all devices with the same apple ID, and used my laptop as the main library, storing all music, apps, video, etc.  I then  just selectively copied things to the other authorized devices, so my daughter's laptop has a copy of her music under my apple ID.  Now she has her own iPod touch, so I would live to move her music and apps to her own iTunes library with a name I create for her on her laptop and iPod.
    Is this possible without having to repurchase all of her media?

    You can try these Apple directions

    Or buy a 3rd-party ipod manager such as CopyTrans.
