ITunes on mac + Apple TV - iTunes on windows

Hi All,
I have a mac mini and apple tv which were sync'd up and working nicely. I had a lot of purchased content on the mac mini which was all sync'd up with the apple tv.
I have now built a media server running windows xp with iTunes which I have got syncing with my apple tv. When I turned off sync to the mac mini all the media on the apple tv was deleted.
What is the best way for me to copy/move all the movies/tv shows/music I have bought from my mac mini into the windows machine which is now sync'd up with the apple tv on my account?
I have located the iTunes media folder and im trying to just copy the content over the network into the iTunes media folder on the windows machine, will this be ok (I wont know if it will work for the next few days as theres a lot to copy and its over wireless). Whats the best way to go about this?
Thanks in advance!

maybe this will help: http://lifehacker.com/242468/geek-to-live--how-to-move-an-itunes-library-from-a- pc-to-mac-and-back.

Want to make iTunes and mac apple id's the same

Having issues with iTunes purchases and discovered that apple id on my mac is different from apple id in iTunes. I know I can't merge apple id's and it won't let me change apple id on mac to the iTunes apple id. Says that apple id is already in use. Is there a way to get just one apple id?

Is there a way to get just one apple id?
We're all in the same boat. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html.

Mac iTunes account x Apple TV iTunes account = Integration???

I rented the film Savages, through my Mac iTunes Store account. When I
tried to see the film in my Apple TV, the Savages wasn't available. This
has alredy happened in an apposite way: I Rented "Abraham Lincoln" film,
through the iTunes Store account Apple TV, when I tried to see this film
in my iTunes Store account on my Mac, it wasn't available.
I used the same iTunes Store account.
A good exemple about that ( and in this case it worked ): I bought the
Led Zeppelin Celebration Day with my iTunes Store account and this film is
available on my Mac iTunes Store and on my Apple TV, one time I used the
same ID Apple, as I sad.
I would like the integration (Mac and Apple TV) but it's not happening.
I hope I won't be charged twice in Savages film, because I rented this
film through Mac - iTunes Store account and I have to rent again ( in the
same time, with the same ID account ) to see it on my Apple TV.
Could someone please explain what is happening?
Sincerely,
Bosco Amaral

As far as I know the email used as an AppleID for itunes cannot be changed though you can change the correspondence email and account password which is what I assume you want to do assuming you are the purchaser of the music etc.
Manage the ID here:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
I still have an old defunct email address as my AppleID for iTunes - just regard it as a unique iTunes username - the fact it is an email address is not relevant.

Can't log in to iTunes on my Apple TV/iTunes Store is unavailable

I can't seem to login to iTunes from my Apple TV... I already have an iTunes account. Keeps telling me that my account name is not found or my password is incorrect.
Also, can't get on to the store either. Says it's unavailable.
Are these two issues connected?? HELP! I'm about to throw my Apple TV out the window

There are many situations that can block or interfere with wifi, however I doubt this is your issue or you would have issues across the range of internet services and you don't seem to.

Airtunes streaming skips in iTunes 10 Mac but not iTunes windows

I have had problems with airtunes for a fair while now, definately the whole time i've had itunes 10, but recently noticed that using the same computer (MBP booted to Windows 7 using iTunes Windows) it streams perfectly. So now I'm really confused. Help!
Problem:
Here is the problem. Mac iTunes 10, play music streaming to me Airport express, will start to play then stop, pause, start, pause, play.... aarrrggg. Doesn't matter which song.
Environment:
I have Airport Extreme connected to Linksys modem. Wireless g/n network connecting to Airport express which is hard wired to stereo. Wireless network is perfect except for this airtunes issue, and support various mobile devices plus n and g apple notebooks. My main computer is Macbook Pro with dual boot windows 7 and mac snow leopard. I've recently found that itunes only behaves badly in Mac mode!
Diagnosis:
Have tried switching wireless channel from 1, 7, 11 etc to remove interferrence - but identified that this does not remove the issue.
Have tried streaming airtunes from iTunes windows on same computer and works FINE
Have tried streaming airtunes from iTunes on iPhone 3GS with iOS5 and works about 50% (skipping, but not as bad as from mac, but unacceptable quality)
Have tried streaming airtunes from iTunes on Macbook Pro with snow leopard and iTunes 10 and basically skips constantly

Transfer ITunes to MAC from PC

Just got a new IMac and I want to move my itunes file from my PC to the Mac so I can synch my Iphone with it. What is the best method? I use Lion version 10.7. Thanks.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
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.

After update iTunes to the version 11.2.2(3) on MacBook Pro I cannot connect any apple device. iTunes is "hanging". do U have the same problems?

after updat iTunes to the 11.2.2(3) ver I cannot connect any device iTunes after connect device (iPad3, IP5S) is hanging.. and I have to force iTunes to close. do U have the same problems?

Hey there Michal115,
It sounds like you are unable to connect your iOS devices without it becoming unresponsive. That would frustrate me too. I would use the following article about that very issue to help you resolve that:
iTunes: May become unresponsive when connecting iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3219
Start with these 3 steps to make sure the other devices are up to date as well, and there is additional troubleshooting to be done in the article if needed:
Install any available software updates for your computer.
For Mac OS X: Click the Apple () menu, choose Software Update, and follow the on-screen instructions.
For Windows: Refer to the documentation for your computer for instructions on using Windows Update to update your computer.
Update iTunes to the latest version.
For Mac OS X: Click the Apple () menu, choose Software Update, and follow the on-screen instructions. You can also download iTunes from the Apple website.
For Windows: Use Apple Software Update, or download iTunes from the Apple website.
Test with automatic syncing disabled.
For Mac OS X: Click the iTunes menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and place a check next to option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically." Click OK.
For Windows: Click the Edit menu and choose Preferences. Click the Devices tab and place a check next to option to "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically." Click OK.
Reconnect your device and test to see if the issue still occurs. If your device is recognized successfully, you may be able to isolate which type of data is causing the issue. Do this by deselecting all syncing options under each of the syncing tabs and then sync. After that, re-enable your sync options one at a time until the issue returns.
Note: If the issue only occurs when syncing data from the Info tab is enabled (For example: Contact, Calendar, Mail account or Bookmark syncing), reset the Sync History (for Mac OS X instructions see this article, for Windows see this article).
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

ITunes 8.2 for Mac: cannot access iTune

Hi
I need help. I am using a Mac OS X 10.5.7 with iTunes 8.2.
I connect to the internet using a wireless connection and i can connect to the internet using internet browser etc but when i try and connect to the iTunes store i cannot.
I have tried to fix this problem by:
a.) allowing all connections through the firewall
b.) allowing application access through keychain
nothing works.
Can someone help me?

Lost 1985:
You are not alone.
I have had the same problem since June 8t/09, after I downloaded iTunes 8.2 onto my MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.7.
I immediately posted my situation and titled it "*_iTunes 8(x) + OS 10.5.7 NOT Compatible??_*"...

*I STRONGLY SUGGEST that we DIRECTLY LET APPLE KNOW by going to their iTUNES FEEDBACK PAGE and EMAILING THEM DIRECTLY -- and then RE-EMAILING them until they get the message, or um, messages.*

@Chris:
I was just referring to the visual graphics (you know, the fireworks, stars and other stuff that reminds me of the 70's....) that you can play on the screen when iTunes is playing music?
I noticed that these effects are not just randomly chosen, they are in fact synchronized to the beat and intensity
of the music, and that struck me as rather cool......

ITunes Sharing Mac/Windows

Is there a simple way to share my iTunes library from my Mac partition with my Windows 7 partition without having to copy the same music on both sides? I looked up an older thread, but the best option (required Command Prompt) said I did not have sufficient privileges change anything. I also changed the command, using my iTunes Music folder instead of iTunes Media (since for some reason I don't have the latter on my Mac).
cd "\users\[username]\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media"
mklink /d Music "e:\users\[username]\Music\iTunes\*iTunes Music*"
(bold indicating what I changed)
