Itunes from a pc to my mac

okay i have a computer at home and i have my itunes on it
how do i get my music from there onto my mac
i tried putting my library onto a flash drive
but it just put on the playlists and no music

Rowan's answer works but will be time consuming if you have more than 4GB of music. There are other solutions. If you own an iPod, you can sync music from the PC to the iPod and then use a freeware program called senuti to transfer the music from the iPod to your Mac. If the two computers are on the same network you can use filesharing to copy the music from one to the other. You could copy music to your flash drive and then from the flash drive to the Mac.

    How do I transfer iTunes from my PC to my Mac Laptop?

    You can't transfer the application since they are for different operating systems.
    You would have to download iTunes for your Mac.
    To transfer your songs, videos etc, just copy all the files in your ITunes directory to a portable hard drive, and connect the hard drive to your mac.
    In iTunes on your mac, make sure the preference (under advanced) for "keep itunes folder organized" is checked.
    Then add the folder from your portable hard drive, and all songs will will transferred to your mac.

    Don't understand?
    There is no "main" itunes.
    Your "stuff" will be wherever you put it.
    Copy it from wherever it is now to wherever it is that you want it.
    Perhpas if you explain, more help can be given.

  • Moving itunes from old pc to new mac

    i just bought my first mac. i need to move my itunes library to my new imac.
    my first try at manually copying the library (disk use) to my ipod failed (i didn't think to check the size of my "itunes" folder). i pretty much have my 80 g ipod full. The pc directory says that there is 86.4 g in my "itunes" folder. the 86.4 g is after i have deleted all my podcasts.
    what methods are left? moving them using cd's? i tried the belkin cable/software that i used to move the rest of my user data, but it only moved my purchased music. any other ideas?
    thank you in advance.

    in trying to follow iinstructions from the macworld.com article 146958 "move an itunes library from a windows pc to a mac" (from my google search):
    i edited itunes preferences on the advanced tab to "keep itunes media folder organized" and "copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library."
    then i chose file>library>organize library. i checked "consolidate files" and "upgrade to itunes media organization."
    i receieved the error message "copying files failed. the file name was invalid or too long." what file name? what casued this error?
    oh, i have recalled that i have an unused maxtor onetouch ii that i can use to move the data --if i can filnd the cables. so i won't have to deal with the 80g capacity of my ipod. but, is it really true that i can move my library in 2 "trips," let's say 45g at a time? i thought this was an all or nothing shot and that the difficulty with just copying the files had to do with copyright issues.
    thanks to everyone.

  • I'm trying to move my itunes from my PC to my MAC.

    I tried the homesharing method first, but that didn't work - it only imported some of my music and into my husband's existing itunes library (on the MAC). Do I need to create a new itunes library for my appleID on the MAC?  I just want to get my music off the old PC!  Perhaps burning to an external drive or CD is better? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks.

    How to move iTunes library

  • How to move iTunes from a PC to a MAC when files are in a network drive

    Warning! This is my first experience with a MAC!!!
    All right, I am one of those guys who has been working with PCs since the beginning of times, but my wife finally convinced me to try a MAC. So far, so good (all right, I admit it...I kind of like it...) but I need some help with my Itunes library.
    I had itunes setup in a network drive when using my PC. The Network drive and folder were Z:\Music\iTunes.
    I want to use iTunes with my MAC now. I do not want to change the location of the files in my external drive.
    I have managed to view the external hard drive folders with the MAC. However, the name of the folder is different "WORKGROUP;WD-NETCENTER/music/iTunes" when I look at the folder info.
    What do I need to do to make this work?
    Thanks in advance!

  • How to i transfer itunes from old computer to new mac?

    I have a 2006 mac and now have a 2011 mac.. my original itunes acct is on the older computer..  how do i transfer my library and acct to the newer computer?

  • HT1206 Since transferring my iTunes from my pc to my Mac I can't play the songs I purchased on my old account with a email address I no longer use, so all my songs on my play list that I had on my PC I can't play, nor can I deauthorize my computer.

    Please help.

    That email address which you no longer use, was it created as an Apple ID?
    Yes? Great
    Know/Remember the password for that Apple iD?
    Yes? Great
    Goto Appleid.apple.com - Manage - Sign In - Edit Old Email Apple ID to New Valid Email - Save - You get to keep your purchases. [Unless you already created a whole new Apple ID with the most recent Valid Email address... At bottom of reply.]
    Old unavailable Email created as an Apple ID?
    No, Sorry unable to merge purchases - those will be gone
    Yes To Apple iD?
    Great
    Know/Remember the password for that apple ID?
    No, hmmm a few things - however still not a gaurantee
    1 - Reset Password at My Apple ID [Appleid.apple.com]
    Reset Password - Found under Manage
    Chose either [Email Authentication OR Secureity Questions]
    [Email Authentication will only work IF you had/have a recovery email set up - Other wise hope you remember the answers to your questions]
    2 - Contact AppleCare Account Secureity via Expresslane.apple.com
    Note: Hope you can Verify your information - As only way to have password reset
    Not able to Verify Information? Sorry purchases are now no longer available.
    And ajnother Note:
    If you have already went and create a New Apple ID with your most recent Valid Email Address - you are not at all completely out of luck [Unless you are unable to reset your password for the Original Apple iD then you are.]
    But can create another [Valid/bogus] email from a free domain.
    Once get password reset for Old un-available Email Address Apple ID
    Then you first want to edit the New Apple ID with the other new email
    This frees up the email you want to use for your apple id
    Sign into Older Apple ID edit with email you want to use.
    Hope this information helps you!
