HT4796 how to transfer my i tunes account from a computer to a new computer

how to transfer my i tune accout from one computer to another as i am repaceing the old one.

When you first boot the new Mac you will be in Setup Assistant. After you fill in some info, it will prompt you to migrate. Just choose to migrate all.
But you must do this the first time it presents itself.

How can I transfer my i tunes account from my PC to my family computer (Macbook)? My husbands account is already there but we would like to see both accounts on the same computer.

Copy the whole iTunes folder from the My Music directory to the Music folder in the Home directory on the Mac.
The easiest way to do this is to create another user with the second library.
If you want both libraries on the same user account then you will need to choose which library iTunes opens everytime you launch (hold down the OPTION key while launching) it as itunes can only read one library at a time. If you do not choose on launch it will open the last library it was connected to. You will also need to rename the iTunes folder when you move it (eg: iTunes2) because your husband's library will already be in the Music directory in a folder named iTunes.
You can also leave your library on the PC and turn on Home Sharing. As long as you leave the PC running with iTunes open, you will be able to access it from any Mac, Apple TV or iOS devices on the network that is signed in to Home Sharing with the same Apple ID.

Hey, I had the exact same issue. The way that Apple explains to do it is change your iPod into hardrive mode by messing with the preferences. While your iPod is hooked up to your old compuer, go into preferences and check the box saying enable disk use. Then your iPod will appear on the desktop and you can drag the song files into it. I don't know if you can transfer them all at once or not. Anyway, then you hook up the iPod into the new computer and drag the songs into iTunes. I had trouble doing this and it erased all my songs one time but I think it was an error on my part. Another way to do it is to send the song files through AIM. Have someone on the old computer and you on the new one and send them in large bunches to the new computer. Yet another way is to e-mail them to yourself and download them on to the new computer. The sure-fire way (and the way I finally succumbed to but it worked!) is to download the program iPodCopy on the new computer and follow the instructions to have your music quickly and easily copied. It does cost $17.00 dollars to download but I was willing to pay the price to have my music transferred hassle-free. Just type iPodCopy into google and it should come up. After months of trying and searching how to transfer my music to the new computer, this was my last resort and it was well worth it!
I hope my suggestions help you out in your iPod escapades!
Let me know if they work. Buenas Suerte.

How do transfer my songs AND playlists from iPOD classic to a NEW laptop

How do you transfer both songs AND playlists from an iPOD to a new laptop? I have read a few posts about this, but none seem to talk about transfering the PLAYLISTS. I understand there is a manual method since the iPOD is essentially viewed as a hard drive by a windows based machine/PC and there are third party applications to provide a more automated process.
So can playlists be transferred? If so how? Or will i need to recreate all my playlists? It is not the end of world, rather just tedious. Are there any "gotchas"?
Thanx

I also have a similar problem. Lap top crashed - new lap top have VISTA (I know...).
Using my ipod as a external hard drive - I have loaded all the tunes onto a new folder on the desk top. I then loaded all the files into the itunes library and have upload them on the new itunes on the new lap top - all good. They are now on the new itunes library and my ipod
However NONE of my purchased items have been transfered. Issue is that the files on the Desktop folder will not show which are purchesed and which are imported from CD - how do I find and then transfer my purchased songs...
Thanks

How do I move DVD digital copies from my iphone to a new computer's itunes account, same Apple ID?

I just got a MacBook Pro and I also have an iphone. My current main itunes is on a PC that I will not use any longer. I have several movies on my iphone which came with DVD's as digital copies, not purchased through itunes store.
In the past, I've lost these kinds of movie digital copies through syncing my phone on a new computer. I don't want this to happen again but I am totally lost since these are not itunes purchases.
How can I sync my iphone on my new mac's itunes and not "erase and replace" all the movies currently on my phone? Or how can I get them onto my Mac's itunes account so when I do sync my iphone, they'll still be there?
Thanks!

It's best to copy from your old computer to your new computer before syncing your phone with your new computer for the first time:

If everything were from the iTunes Store, you could do this:

Since it's not all from the iTunes Store, you should copy your library from your old computer to your new one, as noted above. If that's not possible and you can use only your phone as the file source, you will need to use a third-party utility such as Senuti:

There are many similar utilities. Some work just as well as Senuti and are even free.

How do I copy Ipod games downloaded from ITunes Store to my new computer?

I've a new computer, backup of music library already on ext. hardrive, but what about my Ipod games? How can I copy my purchases on my new computer? Please help my step by step.Tks

Are the games still on your old computer? Do you still have access to this? Are you using iTunes version 8 or 9?
Have a look at this article which tells you how iTunes media is organized for both iTunes 8 and iTunes 9. It's just a matter of copying the relevant folder from one computer to another.
You can use you iPod as an external disc to do this.
See: How to use your iPod to move music and media to a new computer.

HT4796 How do I migrate two user accounts from the PC and create the two new user accounts on the mac?

I am migrating from a PC to a new Mac. The PC has two user accounts. I want to migrate those two accounts from the PC to the Mac, keeping everything separate as it is on the PC. How can I do this?

When you have set up migration assistant on your pc, it gives you options on what you want to migrate. Chose one account and migrate it, then choose the other account, and do the same. Two accounts will automatically be set up on the Mac.

How do I transfer my iTunes account from my HP to my new Mack Pro?

How do I transfer my I Tunes account from my old lap top HP, to my new Mack Book Pro?

On the old laptop, open iTunes, and go to the Store menu, then "Deauthorize this Computer".
You can then use Migration Assistant on your new Mac to help you transfer any files and information. You can also just log into the iTunes Store from iTunes on the Mac, and re-download any music from there.

How can I transfer my I-tunes account to a new PC

How can I transfer my I-tunes account to a new PC?

If you copy the entire iTunes folder to the new computer (with iTunes not running) you don't need to readd anything. The content will be there when you launch iTunes on the new computer.

How do I transfer my pics and videos to my I-tunes account from my LG Dare?

How do I transfer my pics and videos to my I-tunes account from my LG Dare?

Downloading previously purchsed music from iCloud is based on your iTunes ID, not your iCloud ID. (It uses "iTunes in the Cloud", which has nothing to do with your iCloud account, just your iTunes ID.)
If you are using a different iTunes ID on your iOS devices than the one you used to purchase the music, you'll have to sync the music to your devices using iTunes. If they are using the same iTunes ID, you can download the music to your devices as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

How do I transfer my i-tunes ect from my old 3GS handset to my new i-phone 5 handset?

Thinking of upgrading to i-phone 5 can anyone tell me how I'd transfer my i-tunes ect from my 3GS?

If you purchased it through the Play Store (formerly Android Market), you just need to sign into the new phone with the same Google account. The game would then be available for download without needing to repurchase the game.
Your game progress however is another story and you might need another application that can save game progress to the SD card and can be transferred to the new phone.

How do I transfer music from an iPod to a new computer, with an existing iTunes account that is not mine, or to an iPad??

My computer crashed and I lost my iTunes library and music. The music is however on my iPod 5th Generation. How do I move my music to my husbands computer, where he has his own music....or how do I transfer or add my music from my iPod to my iPad?
I also lost all my gift card money on my iTunes account. Can I add my iTunes account to a computer that already has an iTunes account?

I have read this, but it does not help. My crashed computer had my iTunes library with MY iTunes ID. The new computer and iPad that i want to transfer my music to, that is on my iPod, is under a different iTunes account. Can I still transfer my music from my iPod to a new computer that has a different ID?
