I have new computer, how do I transfer my old library over , thought Homesharing would work but I cant figure out how to transfer. Thanks

I have a new laptop and have installed iTunes. How do I transfer my library from my old computer over? I thought Homesharing would do it but I cant figure it out. I got to the point of it showing that I have homesharing on each computer but how do I download the old into the new? Thanks

I tried this with apps and it worked flawlessly!!
You can do the same with music, playlists etc
I did it on Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
You should have same Itunes version on both systems!!
Here are the methods to follow:
Just for safety, on your new PC go to Edit > Preferences > Devices - and check "Prevent Ipods, Iphones and Ipad from syncing automatically.
From your old computer,
1) Open itunes
2) Go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced
3) here you may see a location under heading "itunes media folder location"
4) Go to that location and open "mobile applications" folder. Copy the entire files/apps inside it and paste it to any removable device supporting the size.
On your new computer:
a) Repeat steps 1 to 3.
b) Go to the location you have found in your new computer. You'll find same folders. Now, copy apps/files from your removable device to "Automatically Add to Itunes folder" DO NOT COPY it in Mobile applications folder because it won't sync that way!
This completely restored all my apps that I had to transfer from my PC to laptop!! You can try to do same with music... This should work!
HOPE THIS HELPS!

My boyfriend purchased the new operating system for the mac book pro it was send to his email but we cant figure out how to get it and download it from the email

how do we download our operating system purchase from our email it was sent to?

You should have received a redemption code via email if you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion that would allow you to download the OS via the Mac App Store. If you purchased an earlier version it would come on discs, usually model-specific.
Call back with some more information...

TS2446 i cant remember the answers to my security questions. i have reset my password and added the recovery email account but still cant figure out how to purchase new content. it asks me the same security questions. how do i fix this?

If you've just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your security questions. If you already had one on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email addressthen you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

HT1491 I have ten dollars in my account but i cant figure out how to use it to buy a cd?

I have ten dollars in my account but i cant figure out how to use it to buy a cd?

You can't. The iTunes Store does not sell CDs. The music it sells comes as downloadable music files.
If that is what you want, just search in the Store for what you want, and then click Buy. Note that the Store will collect sales tax. The amount depends on where you live, but in most places, you cannot buy a $9.99 album for $10 since the sales tax will put you over.

If it's music purchased from the iTunes store you should be able to download it from your purchased list, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.

HT1351 Got a used 4th gen nano, but i need to sync it. i can see it but i cant figure out how to authorize it

Got a used 4th gen nano and I need to sync it with my library on my computer. I can see the ipod but i cant figure out how to authorize it

You don't need to "authorize" it, unless you are trying to sync content that uses DRM (copy protection). You probably just need to set up syncing.
First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.
Select the iPod in the sidebar. The iPod's Summary screen is shown to the right. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music to the right of Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. If your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on the iPop's storage, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. From the lists below, select what you want to sync the iPod. One convenient way to set this up is to create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, and put ALL of the songs you want on the iPod on those playlists. (Or you can use existing playlists.) Back on the iPod's Music screen, select (checkmark) those playlists under Playlists. You can also select other items on those lists, as desired.
When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selections to the iPod. Going forward, to update the iPod, just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes automatically.

Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

Not true at all.
You only buy the right to your own personal use.
You do NOT have the right to distribute to others.
This is illegal. There is no doubt about it

HT1212 hi my name is ari and i have an ipod touch newest gen that was disabled and it was given to me disabled ..i downloaded i tunes to my computer but i cant figure out how to reset the ipod to factory settings

hi i have an ipod touch that was given to me that was disabled and it belongs to a kristien but she no longer lives here and my apple id doesnt work for this ipod and i wasnt to reset the ipod to factory settings so it can be my ipod and i dont know how to go about that

You can restore from backup since the screen-lock passcode is not restored.
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I have new computer, how do I transfer my old library over , thought Homesharing would work but I cant figure out how to transfer. Thanks
