I want to transfer my library and all of the settings and playlists to my new computer

I am interested in moving my entire library from one PC to another.  I want to keep all of my playlists and settings (ratings) so I don't have to do them again.  I have an external drive and have followed all of the steps from itunes four seperate times.  I can move the library, but none of the settings or playlist transfer.

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Windows forums.
Regards.

  • I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?

    I have a new computer and I want to make it my home device for I tunes. I have home sharing, and all of the music and files are on the new computer. Now what do I do to make the new computer the home computer for Itunes?

    The computer (windows platform) where I initially began using Itunes has four other computers/devices that are shared with it. All four of the other computers show up in my account, and can be managed. Or I can remove them. But on the new computer that I want to be my base computer (home if you will). The computer I want it to replace, when ITunes is open, has a tool bar, with various functions. All of the other devices are linked to that computer in ITunes, under Home SHaring. The new computer, shows the downloads via Home Sharing, but it does not show/have any tool bar.
    I want to activate the new computer to be the computer via ITunes where all of the devices are linked to it as the base for ITunes. And, I don't know how to make that happen.
    I hope that makes sense.

  • Recently a course was hidden from iTunes U because less than 75% of material available.  I checked and all of the apps and information is available. How do I fix this?

    I checked all of the apps and materials and they are available to download from the app store or the course.  How do I get this course added back into our iTunes U site?
    Thanks,
    Nancy

    Nancy;
    To "Unhide" a Collection, you can highlight the hidden Collection and choose "Unhide" from the Collections Page menu (see attached). 
    Hope this helps...

  • Does anyone know how to remove references to facebook and Twitter from the settings and "share" feature screens?

    I don't use facebook or Twitter and I shouldn't have to see references to them in the settings section or the "share" dropdowns of Safari, the photo management screens, or anywhere else. Can anyone tell me how to remove these references?

    To the best of my knowledge you can't.
    You can try going into the settings and restrictions and turn them off and see if that makes the icons disappear (probably won't) but there's no way to select the icons you want.

  • Firefox is not working - I believe it is because a McAfee pop-up asked if I wanted to allow something, and instead of 'allow always' I clicked 'block.' A year or so ago I did this (and forgot) and it changed the settings and I also lost MF access.

    Everything else about my computer works fine, but I get a small
    pop-up window in the bottom right asking if I want to allow some
    kind of program access, and the options are 'allow always',
    'allow once', or 'block.' I forgot that I lost access to MF and
    had to call someone to help me change the settings a yr or so
    ago. But I believe it was this same issue - when I re-booted the
    settings took effect. What must I change in my settings? I
    already deleted my MF profile.

    Has any had you try a reset yet? Sometimes the WiFi & Cellular anntennas get wacky.

  • Cannot view all of the settings and options of some programs

    Is there a way to reduce the size of a program's window to the screen 800 x 600 resolution limit. Many of the settings are below the bottom of the screen and cannot scroll to the bottom of the viewing window. It would be nice if I can increase the screen's resoution-the maximum limit is 800 x 600. Is there a setting in OS X to resize the viewing window?

    mike_gyver, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Yea, that 800 x 600 limitation finally drove me to get a new iBook.
    When I encounter an application with a screen like that, I fire off a request to the support area of the manufacturer of the application. Usually I get a nice reply saying that they will look into it.

  • How can I transfer my old iTunes (playlists and all) from the hard drive of my old dead computer to the iTunes of my new one?

    So my old PC died before I managed to back up my iTunes library onto DVDs. I do however have the hard drive from the old PC with all the program files, files and folders on. I also have the iPhone 4, which has my top rated playlist on but that only holds about 20% of my entire music collection on.
    Is it possible to somehow find all my old iTunes music, videos, playlists, podcasts etc and transfer it into the iTunes on the new PC without losing anything?
    Thanks for reading :-)

    im trying to do the same. how do you
    Copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the old machine into <User's Music> on the new one?
    im sorry i am totally inept when it comes to this stuff. can you walk me thru the steps to copy? please

  • My music wont play even when I have my volume up and I rechecked the settings and everything

    I have a Macbook pro and just ranomly my volume stopped working. any ideas how to fix it?

    look in the headphone jack, if there is a red light.
    When the red light is on it is in a digital mode, there is a switch in there that sometimes gets stuck.
    Try a tooth pick, or a Q tip with the tip cut off and gently wiggle it around in there.

  • Do all animations and features of Keynote save as PowerPoint Presentations and are all of the animations and features then useable on a PC in the .ppt format, will it work properly?

    Do all animations and features of Keynote save as PowerPoint Presentations and are all of the animations and features then useable on a PC in the .ppt format, will it work properly?
    I want to buy a Macbook Pro, but i need to know the scale of compatability between my Microsoft products and my soon to be apple products, proffessional presentations are vital for what i want, therefore compatability if key if i am to purchase a Mac. Thank you.

    Not all of the animations and features in Keynote will transition into Powerpoint.  Most of the basic ones do - but not the advanced.  I had this issue when I first switched over to Mac, so to overcome this, I do two things:
    I figured out which animations and transitions work in both Keynote and Powerpoint and used them.  It's kind of a pain when I can't use the awesome Keynote animations, however, Keynote is still much easier and intuitive to work in than Powerpoint.
    I sometimes export my Keynote presentations to a Quicktime movie (.mov).  Apple makes it very simple to export to this format; which can then be accessed on both a Mac and PC and all of the transitions and effects remain as they are in Keynote.
    I hope that helps.

  • I updated my iPad Air to the newest ios 7 update. Since then, I can not turn wifi on in the settings and bluetooth constantly has a spinning gear in the settings. Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?

    After updating to ios 7.0.4, my ipad air will not allow me to turn on the wifi in the settings, and the bluetooth constantly shows a spinning gear in the settings. I'm currently trying to restore factory settings on the ipad for the second time. Powering off did not help. Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?

    I was going to suggest - Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings, but if you are restoring to factory settings, that should restore the settings back to factory defaults. But if you are restoring from a backup, after restoring to factory settings, try resetting all of the settings and see if that fixes it.
    It might be something in your backup.

  • 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.

  • How do I delete a song from my Itunes library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and click delete from the drop down menu but, then it asks me if I am sure I want to hide this song in Iclouds? I dont even know what Iclouds is?!?! HELP!

    How do I delete a song from my Itunes music library? I follow the instructions and right click on the song and then select "delete" as specified and my info claims at that point it will ask if I want to send this song to my trash bin, but, instead, when I try to delete the song, I get another window asking "are you sure you want to hide this song in iCloud? I don't even know what iCloud is?!?!? I don't want iCloud and just want to get rid of old songs!!! HELP ME!!!

    Short answer:
    Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
    Long answer:
    iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
    If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
    Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
    To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
