I recently had to switch with my sister from Mac to PC, and I have all my songs, apps, movies,etc. on my iTunes on my mac. How do I transfer the contents of the other library to my new computer?

I really want to transfer all my content of my iTunes library like apps for my iPhone and also music to my new library on my new PC computer. Is there any way that I can do this?

Copy the entire iTunes Media folder in My Documents>My Music>iTunes and put it in the same location on your new computer. Then open iTunes and go to File>Add to library, and select all the stuff there that you want to add to your iTunes.

HT4527 if i were to home share the contents of my current library to my new computer could i then sync my iphone to the new one?

I need to transfer my music, movies, apps etc. to my new laptop because my old one is almost unusable however i dont know if syncing it will work if i do what was suggested.

Homesharing is sharing a computers iTunes library to other devices on the network.
It is streaming, not downloading.
You can't share items on an iOS device.

Help! I recently upgraded to OS 10.9.4 from 10.6.8, and now when I want to send an email to a group in my contacts I am no longer able to select the group as a whole. I have to select each address individually. This can't be right.

Help! I recently upgraded to OS 10.9.4 from 10.6.8, and now when I want to send an email to a group in my contacts I am no longer able to select the group as a whole. I have to select each address individually. This can't be right. With 10.6.8 I used to be able to double click on the name of the group and they would all be selected. I've also noticed that my address book is now called "contacts." Thanks in advance for your help.

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
     Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).

HT1296 How can I sync the content on my iPad 1 to my new computer without losing anything?

My old computer (a PC) is crashed and is no longer usable. I hadn't synced my iPad to that computer in several months. Now, I have a Mac Air and when I plug my iPad 1 into it, I get a message that states the iPad is synced with another iTunes library. I'm given the option to Erase and Sync, but that will mean that I'll lose what's currently on my iPad. Is there a way to avoid that?

This will work with all purchased content on the iPad.
If you have synced photos on the iPad that you want to transfer to the Mac, you will need a third party app like Photo Transfer - or an application like TouchCopy, that will transfer everything into the new iTunes library - if you care to check that out.
1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your MBA and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new MBA, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

Why Apple does not offer software to copy the content of my iPod Touch to my new computer?

Hi, I got a new laptop. And I want the content of my iPod to copy to iTune on my new laptop. Is there Apple software to perform this function? I do find many third party software to do this function, but I have to pay that software. Can you help?

You don't need to purchase additional software. This link may help you: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

Laptop brokre, managed to recover files onto harddrive, how do i transfer the music files into my library on a new computer, Laptop brokre, managed to recover files onto harddrive, how do i transfer the music files into my library on a new computer

ok so to cut a long story short my itunes account was on a laptop that broke, managed to get photo and music file backed up onto hard drive.
Can i just log into my itunes account on a new pc to sync andbackup my iphone? or do i need to transfer my music file into the account?
Really need some help!
I have an iphone, Ipod and the account on the old laptop.

"I don't have the old computer. It overheated and literally melteddown!"
This is why it has alwasy been very basic to always maintain a backup copy.
Did you fail to do this?
"I have been talked through a back up process of the itouch music on to the new laptop before, but can't remember how to do it. Any ideas on this process."
Again.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. the only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to buy a 3rd party program to get non-itunes purchased music from the ipod.

How do I transfer a downloaded version of CS5 photoshop to a new computer?

Please assist.
Thanks.

How do I transfer my adobe photoshop starter edition3.2 to my new computer?

How do I transfer my current adobe photoshop starter edition 3.2 to a new computer?

I wouldn't recommend transferring Starter Edition over to your new computer. It's age, and the fact that it is no longer supported, makes it too risky to trust your valuable photos at this time.
If you are interested in using similar software on your new computer, you could look into Google Picasa, or simply use the built-in solution (both Mac and windows include apps that help you handle your photo collections).
The important part is that you do need to locate the files that Starter Edition had been tracking; they are usually in your My Pictures/Starter Edition folder, but the program doesn't require them to be there, and you should do a thorough check across your drive for all photos. If they are jpeg files, you might be able to do a search for '*.jpg' files to get a list that can be easily copied to a single folder, then copied to a thumb drive or somesuch for moving to your new system.

HOw can I transfer my old photoshop cs version 8 onto my new computer?

I have an older mac computer (10.4.11) with Photoshops cs version 8. Id did not get transferred onto my new mac computer, so i had to buy Elements when I got the new one. I am very much missing the "pen" tool! Is there any way I can upgrade my photoshop cs Version 8 and put it on my Mac 10.7 5 so that I can go back to using the pen tool? Or is there anything that I can substitute for the pen?? The quick select is not discriminating enough, and I can't get it to select my image properly.HELP!!!!

Your in a bit of a dilemma, since photoshop cs (photoshop 8) won't run on mac os x 10.7.5 Lion and photoshop cs is long
out of the upgrade loop for photoshop.
Lion uses an intel processor and photoshop cs is an PowerPC application that needs an PowerPc processor
and lion can't us rosetta to run some older PowerPC applications.
Besides buying photoshop cs6 or subscribing to the creative cloud for photoshop cc

You could try Gimp (open source and free)

or
Photoline (paid)

both of which have pen tools similar to photoshop cs.

Also, pop up blocker works for some time and then just stops working. I have to close and restart Firefox to get it to work again. Help!

I had the same problem, but with Firefox 4.0. My first thought was to update Firefox (after of course restarting FF), but that didn't help it and I had the same problem.
Among others, I had an extension installed and enabled called Tile Tabs 4.10 that I thought could feasibly creating this problem. So I went into my add-ons manager and disabled it, restarted Firefox and the tabs worked properly again. Unfortunately, the Tile Tabs extension is my favorite Firefox add-on and I use it almost every day for managing my web work tasks. I went to the add-on page for Tile Tabs and saw that there was a notice that version 4.10 didn't work properly on Mac OS, and to install version 4.9 of the extension. I saw they had a new, not-yet-reviewed version 4.11 that addressed the Mac OS problem, installed it, and everything seems to be working properly.
I have no idea why all of a sudden I had this problem, as I hadn't updated Firefox or the Tile Tabs extension recently. Also, obviously this might not address your problem, especially if you don't have that add-on installed and enabled. But our problem started at the same time for both of us it appears based on your post time, so its probably not coincidence.
But its worth a look, and you might want to check out other extensions if you don't have Tile Tabs that could be causing the problem.

With XP as my OS the other users don't see the contents of the Library that I have created

With XP as my OS the other users don't see the contents of the Library that I have created

If you have created new users on your computer they will not be able to share or see your library unless you move the music directly under the C: drive. When you download/import music to iTunes it will always be under your User name even if you are the only User.
If you decide to move your music directly to the C: drive be sure to change the preferences in iTunes to locate the new music and the new location.
iTunes Preferences: Edit > Preferences > Advanced and once you're there, just change location of iTunes media.

HT204053 I transferred my library to a new computer. Now have a different apple ID and it won't let me play songs from the previouse library and pops up with my old apple ID, which I don't have the password? Any ideas?

I transferred my library to a new computer. Now we have a different ID and it won't let us play most of our library? It prompts us to use our old apple ID with a different email and lost password? Any ideas how to be able to play our extensive, expensive catalog?

All content that you download from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, and it can't be transferred to or merged with another account - so you will need to authorise that old account on that computer if you want to use its content.
If you still have access to the email accoun then you can try getting the password reset via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password
If you don't have access to the email account then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they can help you get access to the account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
