Itunes library move from mac to pc

Hi, how can I move the songs at iTunes in a mac to pc?

There are a number of ways to do that.
You can use Homesharing
Or you can simply put all the files on an external drive and just copy them across.

  • ITunes Library relocation from mac to windows

    Hi All,
    So my 3 year old iMac G5 died about a week ago (failed logic board). I wanted to know if i can relocate my itunes library to my windows machine. Now, i've copied the entire library to the win-doze and did the "new library" feature by holding the shift button on itunes start up. I've also opened the XML file with a text editor and changed all the old "Mac" directory addresses to match the new library location. Now this worked for about 90% of the 70GBs of music but i've notice that some songs are missing. I guess i'm looking for a cleaner way of doing this. Thanks

  • How To Transfer iTunes Rented Movies from Mac to Apple TV

    I have an Apple TV (ATV) 3rd generation. I rented a movie through iTunes on my mac and downloaded the movie onto my mac. I see in the Apple TV manuel at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 that ATV 1st generation had the ability to move movies from iTunes on mac to be stored on the ATV.
    Is this possible on ATV 3rd generation?
    Is the only solution to airplay from my mac to the ATV?
    If airplay is the only answer then is there any picture loss with this method?
    Thanks

  • Problems with iTunes library copied from Mac

    I copied my iTunes from my Mac, and authorized the Windows 7 iTunes to be one of my legal computer.   Some songs wouldn't copy because Windows could not handle the file name or path, but most did.
    But iTunes can't find the songs.    When I double click the the songs within iTunes\iTunesMedia\Music, they play, and my iTunes shows one broken link and the new link, which apparently is in the right place.
    How do I change things so that iTunes is looking the right place?   

    I was having the same problem and I knew there had to be an easy answer. I knew it for sure when I saw your topic unanswered. Just right click, or control click on the bar where it says name, album, genre, etc. and select "track number," this will give you the option to put them in their original order.
    You can also access this under "view options" in the view pull down menu.

  • I want to delete songs from iTunes Match by unchecking them in my iTunes library on my Mac. Is this possible? If so, how do I change the necessary setting(s) in iTunes or iTunes Match?

    I want to delete songs from iTunes Match by unchecking them in my iTunes library on my Mac. Is this possible? If so, how do I change the necessary setting(s) in iTunes or iTunes Match?

    I have seen this page, but it seems that this involves deleting songs from my iTunes library in order to remove them from iTunes Match. I want to keep them in my iTunes library, but not in iTunes match (I am over my limit for songs in iTunes Match, and would like to decide which songs to keep in iTunes Match).

    I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • Can I move MPEG movie from Mac to my iPad?

    Can I move a protected MPEG movie from Mac to my iPad?

    Protected with what and in what way?
    As long as you can drop the mpeg into iTunes you should be able to sync it from iTunes to your iPad with the supplied cable in the usual way you'd sync anything else from iTunes to your iPad.

  • ITunes library movies on tv?

    I have an external harddrive with my entire collection of dvds ripped onto it. The amount of movies exceeds what my Macbook could hold (memory wise) so this harddrive functions as my itunes library. It is then plugged into a time machine and broadcast through a wifi network in my house that lets me access my itunes library, from my laptop, anywhere.
    What I wanna know, is if I get an apple TV, is it possible to view all the movies I own on my harddrive (as I would in grid view in Itunes) on my TV, and scroll through them with a remote, if I connect the apple tv to my wifi network? Same thing goes for my tv shows?
    Thanks.

    Okay.
    So Christmas time comes and goes, I get a brand new, shiny, apple tv under the tree. I rush home in a fit of excitment and plug my apple tv into my tv and my wifi network. From there, I can watch my 300+ movies on my tv? Like, from what you said there seems to be an intermediary? But if the apple tv connects to the itunes library there isn't the need for an intermediary?
    Clearly I'm confused. But it would be great if you could let, describe exactly how this would work?
    All I want to be able to do is watch my itunes library movies stored on an external harddrive and broadcast over a wifi network (via time capsule) on my tv....

  • Transfer an iTunes rented movie from my iPhone 5 to iTunes or iPad?

    How do I Transfer an iTunes rented movie from my iPhone 5 to iTunes or iPad?

    It says
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

  • ITunes library deleted on mac when trying to transfer to iPad.

    I went to transfer my iTunes library from my mac to my iPad.  Before I could do anything, my entire iTunes library on my mac was erased.  Since I still have everything on my iPod, how do I  #1 - get the contents of my iPod back into my iTunes library on my mac and #2 - get my library onto my iPad without making this mistake again.  Appreciate any help.

    Again, the problem is not with installing the drivers.  The drivers install fine.  I needed to reconfigure the printers' wireless settings so that I could use the printer over wifi.  The problem is I updated OS X to 10.9 and it broke the HP Setup Assistant software that allowed you to configure the printer's wireless settings via USB.  HP didn't write a new compatible version.  
    The driver software doesn't allow you to configure the printer's wireless settings, so your suggestion still was not helpful.
    I ended up having to wing it.  The User Guide that comes with the Officejet 6000 E609n mentions that the printer, after going through a full factory reset, will put itself in ad-hoc wireless mode on "hpsetup" wireless SID with a self-assigned IP. However, the user guide does not explain how to figure out the self-assigned IP.
    After figuring out the correct factory reset key combo (there are various versions of this, not all work - google it if the user guide version doesn't work for you), I reset the printer and joined the "hpsetup" ad-hoc network.  At that point, I  had to figure out what the self-assigned IP address was so I could connect to the HTTP admin console and manually configure the wireless settings on the printer.    I accomplished this with the "HP Utility" portion of the Setup Assistant suite of software that still worked on OS X 10.9 and tried to add a new printer by scanning the wireless network.  When scanning, it will show the IP address of devices found on the local network.  
    Once I connected to the printer via HTTP on the IP I had figured out, I was able to reconfigure the wireless settings for my wireless network.
    I am not inclined to buy HP products in the future.  This is not the first time that I have been caught by the fact that HP appears to show no interest in maintaining updates to client software support for their products after they are released.  

  • Sharing iTunes library between two Macs on Time Capsule

    Hi there
    I've just about persuaded my fiancee to get a MacBook, which would give us a mac-only household. If I got a Time Capsule, could we share an iTunes library? We each have an iPod and it would seem like a pain to have to recreate two entire libraries on the Time Capsule, much of which would be the same music.
    I'm also assuming we could both use the TC as wireless Time Machine backup for our Macs - is this correct?
    Finally, does anyone have a view on the likely range of TC relative to a standard Linksys 802.11g wireless router? The Linksys doesn't quite reach to the other end of my apartment and I'm wondering if the TC is likely to be better.
    Very many thanks in advance.

    Hello
    You will run into pain. I just tried every found solution on Internet. Whatever you will do, it ends up in a hack. Fact is: iTunes administer your library only local. You CAN share your iTunes library on one Mac by menu settings in a network, BUT the Mac sharing its iTunes library MUST run all the time you want to listen to music from shared iTunes library even if the shared library (music files) is on the Time Capsule. It even wont work turn on "Wake up on LAN activity". The shared library will only be available as long as the Mac sharing its iTunes library is up and iTunes opened. That way it makes no big sense to have the music files in library physically on your Time Capsule. Another problem might come up when you stop listening shared iTunes library: As soon as the sharing Mac goes into StandBy mode (time depending) you can't access its library again. Standby must be stopped.
    The other "solution" is also to have the whole library on a shared drive (Time Capsule) and to import it on both Macs. You will run quickly into Sync problems, beside its a pain to administer the song library that way: You have to import further songs twice, on both Macs to hear them on every one.
    And of course, there are third pary hacks around nobody really wants to use.
    After implementing Time Machine into Lepoard Apple wanted to make money out of it and offered Time Capsule mainly for storing data and backups (what both works great, also WLAN works fine).
    I hope Apple will find a way in iTunes not to handle the music libraries so restrictive, so it can be accessed f.e. on Time Capsule while the Mac sharing its library must not run all the time.
    Hope I could help.

  • Migrating iTunes library to new Mac

    I recently used Migration assistant to transfer just my iTunes library file from an iMac to my MacBook Pro (both running snow leopard with latest versions etc). However after completing the process I cannot find the files on my new Mac anywhere. I know they are there because my available hard disk space is about 125GB lower but ITunes does not have any music content and I cannot find any files on the system that large. Please help!

    Migration Assistant copies the files into the same accounts on the new computer.
    If your username is not the same, it will create the old username account on the new computer.
    Likely you are logged into a different user account on your MacBook.
    Go to System prefs -> Accounts and see if there's another account.
    If so, log into that account (should be same username and password as on the iMac) and drag the \Music\iTunes\ folder to the Shared directory.
    You can leave iot there if you wish.
    Log back into the account your are using now, hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select *Choose library* then select the iTunes library file in the \Shared\iTunes\ folder.
    Or simply drag the \iTunes\ folder from the Shared folder to your current \Music\ folder, replacing what's there.
