  • Can you move iTunes music/playlist from one computer to another?

    I have 2 computers. My original computer is a desktop that I originally put iTunes on. It's an emachine with windows XP. Currently it is not hooked up to the internet because we have wireless in the house. I am currently using an Acer laptop so I can access the internet. I just bought an iPod and was going to sync my music from the other computer but my iTunes is not a 9 or greater so I can't sync it. So is there anyway to move the iTunes from one computer to the other? Or what would be the best way to sync the music I have.

    I have the same problem as DarkHorse08. I am in the course of moving to a new computer and I have lots of files on my old computer. Both use Windows XP Professional. I want to transfer all my I tunes files to the new computer prior to abandoning the old one. The obvious way to me would be to save a copy of the Library to an external backup drive and then import the files to the new computer. However the program will not allow you to do this - you can only copy to a cd/dvd drive and there is no command to allow you to substitute an external drive such as a backup disk. If you use instead the command Library - Export you can export to a named destination drive such as an external drive but all that is transferred is an XML document file called Library which only has in my own case 2.5mb of data - less than the Library contents.
    Apple's suggested route of Sharing is based on setting up a local network - not a serious proposition for most users.
    All in all very unsatisfactory.
    Unless I am missing something or have got something wrong....
    Suggestions welcome.

  • How do I get my playlist from my computer to my iPhone, it doesn't move over when I sync.

  • HT1296 I can't sync the whole playlist from my computer to my iPod touch. Songs which don't sync have a dotted circle in front of the title?

    I can't sync the complete playlist from my PC to my iPos touch. Songs which don't transfer have a dotted grey circle in front of the title?

    Hey, I had the exact same problem with my transferring a new album my friend bought on my Mac, to my iphone... It took me two days to figure it out, but it could be either of 2 things:
    1. You don't have the "manually manage music and videos" box checked. If you check it, then try to click and drag it over to your music on your device, it should then sync (on iTunes 11) This was my problem, and I checked that box, and it transferred and downloaded instantly
    2. You don't have enough memory space on your device to put the playlist on. This was the problem for a lot of other people, not me, but they said it worked once they cleared some space on their device.
    Hopes this helps!

  • Can't drag/drop music files from Itunes 10.5.2 to my new Ipod Touch

    Greetings!
    I I spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with an apple tech and really feel like we've tried everything! Switching from manually managing music to auto synch and back, reinstalled ITunes, etc and I still can't drag and drop music files on to my Ipod. I am able create a new playlist, but music files can't be dragged into there either... Could it be a conflict between Itunes 10.5.2 and Mac OS X 10.5.8 that I'm unaware about? Any ideas?! I'm stuck!

  • HT1349 How can I import my music library from my computer to my laptop or iPad, my computer is no longer working

    My computer is no longer working and I had hundreds of songs in my iTunes library, but when I tried to join on my laptop I couldn't get my songs, it asked me if I wanted to change computers but I'm scared in case they get deleted .

    These article reference using an iPod, but really they apply to almost any removable storage you want to use like an external hard drive or a USB thumb drive.

  • Can you drag and drop programs from 1 computer to the other??

    I have finalcut studio on my dual gig g4 but now I want to work off my laptop and sell the dual gig g4. Only problem is that I have my finalcut studio disks buried in a big stack of boxes in preparation for a move. Is there a way I can transfer the programs to my laptop without haveing to dig in all these boxes for the install disks?
    Thanks

    You do not want to drag and drop - it does copy the program, sure. But it does not bring over over ALL the necessary components and frameworks needed to run. So it no worky.
    Solution - clone off the whole OS, programs, et al to an ext fw drive and boot off that.
    You'll want a pcmcia adapter to give you 2 buses so that one fw disc can hold the media and the other fw disc to hook into the built in bus.
    For the OS fw disc you'll find that using the fw 400 port is fine.

  • Moving music library from on computer to another

    can i move my music library from one computer to another, and then move the library back to the original computer? if so, how is it done? please help!!!!!!!

    Hi Jessica, and welcome to discussions!
    ...and then move the library back to the original computer?
    No need to do so, if you just copy the library. [Edit]: But it would be possible if necessairy.
    Essentially you'll have to move (or copy) all your audio files to the new PC, then import them into iTunes and - if you want to keep your playcounts and ratings - copy the "iTunes Library.itl" from the old computer to the new one. This file is, and needs to be, located in the iTunes folder within "My Music". Make sure iTunes is not running while you manipulate the library file.
    The easiest way to accomplish this is via a local network between your computers, but you can also use your iPod. Click for further info: MacMuse, "Computer Crashed" #4, 11:49pm Feb 7, 2005 CDT
    Hope that helps, feel free to post back if you have any questions.

  • Can't drag&drop music from explorer into iTunes

    Hey everyone, I recently got a new computer and copied over my iTunes library from my old computer and installed a fresh copy of the latest iTunes onto my new computer. The problem is I can't drag and drop files from an Explorer window into iTunes like I used to. I can still copy and paste files in or add them manually from the file browser but that is less than ideal. When I attempt to drag any files in I just see the crossed out circle image. Keep in mind I am not adding them to a playlist, just straight into my library (but adding to a playlist doesn't work either) and there is nothing wrong with the files (the error occurs on any audio file I try to drag). I'm assuming this is some sort of permissions issue, I re-installed iTunes a few time and deleted my iTunes folder but no luck. Maybe it is a registry error? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'd love to drag and drop again.

  • Establishing a playlist from Itunes Music library from my computer.

    For some reason I can no longer make a playlist from my Itunes music on my computer. Every time I try to move a song or album to a playlist, I get the error sign. Anyone have a solution to this problem? This is a rather new development, and I have not changed any settings.

    When I bring up my music library and try to drag either an album, or an individual song, a exclamation mark appears after the track number. When I right click on the mark, I get an error message: "This song cannot be imported to playlist because it could not be located. would you like to try to locate?" After this, I can't locate anywhere on my computer.

    How can I transfer my iTunes library and playlists from one computer to another?

    Copy the iTunes folder (Mac: Home\Music or PC: My Music) to the same location on the new computer. If an iTunes folder already exists on the new computer (it will on a Mac) replace it with one you copied.

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library.  Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists.  Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

    Using Match as a backup for iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17039436#17039436
    In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.
