I have my I-tune library on one computer and want to move it to another, these computers are not Mac

I have my iTune library in one computer and want to move it to anoher computer. I can use home-share, but that works only when the original computer is online. So that is really not a solution. My question is how do I move from my old to my new computer? Both these computer have Windows and operating system.

Hello Mettefromswe,
It sounds like you are trying to move your iTunes Library from one computer to another. I recommend following the steps in the article below to transfer your library from your previous computer to your new computer:

I downloaded a song on one computer and wanted to move it to another computer, How?

How do I move a song to my shared home computers?

You can use home share:
iTunes: Setting up Home Sharing on your computer
You can copy the song to a cd,dvd, flash drive, external drive,etc, then copy to the other computer.
You can e-mail it to yourself.
Your pick.

HT4463 i have aperture on one computer and want to download it onto another, how do I do this?

I understand that if I buy apple software, I can load it on to other compters. I have loaded it onto my computer and want to load it onto my husbands computer...

Different ways to do this. You could log into the MAS on that computer, and install it through your purchases list.

CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

The problem with making separate accounts is that this is a laptop, so likely not a huge hard drive, and if the three iTunes libraries need to have a lot of the same music (because everyone or two or three like some of the same stuff) you end up with double or triplicate copies of the music on the hard drive eating up drive space. Since they don't use his laptop normally, creating more accounts (with all the associated files and drive space usage each account would eat up) it probably isn't worth it.
Instead, the best approach is like Chris said, to make playlists for the girls in the main library and then set up the various iPod to either sync everything (if big enough) or sync only specific playlists (if not big enough).
Alternatively, they can set their iPods to manual syncing and then when Dad is visiting they can hook up their iPods and "shop" the library and drag in whatever they want to add to the iPods and delete what they no longer want.

I have a new computer and want to move my Itunes libriarys to this new PC. How do I do this .

I have a new computer and want to move my Itunes libriarys to this new PC. How do I do this?

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.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information 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 of it, 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. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

Have you copied your iTunes library over to your new computer? Either way, you'll need to restore the iPod using the new iTunes library in order to sync it with the new library.

i have been using an iPhone 4 till date and now migrated to a iPhone 4s.The contacts are not copied in total from the other phone what should i do

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Please try the following…
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Can I have my I tunes library on my iMac and my new MacBook Pro

I have just purchased a new MacBook pro retina display however my iTunes library is on my desktop IMac. Is its possible for me to see the same library on the 2 devices and if so how can I do this?
Thanks

Hi,
That is correct.
You can download your music on to your MacBook but if hard drive space is an issue, you may wish to consider iTunes Match. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4914.
You set up match on your main computer and once this has been done you can sign into iTunes and match on your MacBook. You will be able to stream music anywhere you have a wifi connection.

Can I download iTunes on one computer and then install/update it on another

Hi. My home computer (where I use iTunes) is connected to Satellite Internet, which limits my daily bandwidth. This means I can't download large update files (like iTunes) unless I do it during the middle of the night.
So, is it possible to download iTunes on my office PC, burn the file to CD, copy it to my home computer, and then run it to install the update?
I want to be sure it will simply UPDATE iTunes versus doing a clean install where I'd lose all my songs/settings/etc. My fear is that the version I download on my office PC would be a full install, whereas the version I would download through iTunes Update would be an different "update version."
Thanks for any help on this.

I was about to post the *same exact* question. I cannot connect to the internet, but I need to update iTunes to use my new iPod. I have downloaded the iTunes 8 install, and uploaded it into my computer. However, I want to make sure it UPDATES iTunes, versus a clean install.
I have a question regarding Niel's answer: you say the library and settings will remain the same: will I lose my PLAYLISTS from my iTunes 7?? I am worried about losing my songs, but I also REALLY don't want to have to rebuild all of my playlists from scratch~!
Thanks~

Installed new motherboard/cpu; now when I open Adobe XI I get a popup stating I have program loaded on more than one computer and I should input a new code????

Can anyone provide help? Thanks.

This is normal if you change the motherboard or CPU. A lot of software uses the CPU serial number or similar to work out whether this is a new computer install. So just input the code as required.
If this is a volume license, contact your license coordinator.
If this doesn't help please let us know the exact message.

I have many very old songs on my PC and want to move them to my new IPOD Nano 7th. How do I do this?

I want to put all of my real old songs in my PC library onto my new IPOD Nano 7th generation. How do I do this?

Import them into an iTunes library if needed, and then sync the iPod with that library.

Question: I have the os x software on my computer and want to upgrade. how do i go about that I have the 10.5.8 version?

Question
I have the os x 10.5.8 software on my couputer and I want to upgrade. How do I go about that?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it's already running the newest OS it can.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
