do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in

Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

There are no known viruses for OS X. If you have to worry about a website putting some malware on your computer, then you should not visit it any longer. Find a legitimate site.

I just bought a new Mac and I want to transfer some data (not all) from my old Mac. Basically, I want to move my itunes library, iphoto library, and a few documents. I have not even turned on my new Mac yet. Is the best way by an external hard drive?

If both have Firewire ports then you can accomplish your goal by using Target Disk Mode. If this is not possible then you can do using an external drive or if you have a local network connect both to your network and use filesharing between the two computers.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

I just bought new ipod classic. I want to transfer my music library to new device. How do I do this?

I don't know how to transfer my music library to my new device. I have just purchased an iPod classic

"Transferring library" term is usually used with computers, If you still have old classic, you also should have computer that content came from. Once you connect your new classic to that computer- all your library will sync automatically (after registration). If you do not have computer, then it may present a bit of a problem, because as far as I know, Apple's way allows you to transfer only purchased in itunes store content - instructions in link below and you still going to need a computer. If you search these forums and Google, you will find multiple guides on using nonApple solutions. Please try to check references for those.

I want to transfer most of my photos from my iPhoto library to my external hard drive. I have been getting the message that my start up disk is almost full. I want to transfer and then remove them from my computer and have them only stored externally.

My start up disk needs more space and I have tons of photos on my computer that I want to transfer to my external hard drive and remove from my computer to free up space. How can I do this and make sure all my photos are still properly saved and transferred. I dont need to transfer my whole iPhoto library just some really old albums.

Here is some help.

After confirming that all your stuff is on the drive, delete the photos you have copied. You will need to empty the iPhototrash to free up the space.

HT1727 I have iTunes music on my iPhone and I want to transfer the music to my iPod. But my phone uses a different iTunes account than my old iPod. How can I move music on my phone to my iPod? Thank you.

I have an old iPod that has a different Apple ID than my iPhone. How can I put all the music on my iPod and get it off my phone? I'm not sure how to mix the music from two different apple id's.

Hi KathySA,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can sync songs to your iPod from your iTunes library on a computer. You may need to authorize the computer with both of your Apple IDs:

iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC

If some music from the iTunes Store is only on your iPhone, you can transfer purchases to the computer:

How do I sync my two iPhones to my iTunes account? One is my old 3GS I am using as an iPod, and I want to transfer new music on my 5 to the 3GS.

When I got my new phone, I did the initial sync to my existing iTunes profile. Now I'm afraid to sync the old phone (so I can get new music on it). Is there a way to sync two phones on the same iTunes account? Do I need to change the name of the old phone? And how do I do that if that's what I need to do? I've had the old phone in airplane mode since I got the new one because I'm afraid it will sync to the cloud and mess up my new phone.
Help! Thanks!!

Plug it in and sync it
