Move library from 1 computer to another help

I moved it and all that jazz. But when i try to play it, it can't be found. Thanks

On the new computer, open iTunes prefs -Advanced - Importing. Check Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library.
Then go to File -> Add Folder to library and select where your music is.

  • Moving music library from on computer to another

    can i move my music library from one computer to another, and then move the library back to the original computer? if so, how is it done? please help!!!!!!!

    Hi Jessica, and welcome to discussions!
    ...and then move the library back to the original computer?
    No need to do so, if you just copy the library. [Edit]: But it would be possible if necessairy.
    Essentially you'll have to move (or copy) all your audio files to the new PC, then import them into iTunes and - if you want to keep your playcounts and ratings - copy the "iTunes Library.itl" from the old computer to the new one. This file is, and needs to be, located in the iTunes folder within "My Music". Make sure iTunes is not running while you manipulate the library file.
    The easiest way to accomplish this is via a local network between your computers, but you can also use your iPod. Click for further info: MacMuse, "Computer Crashed" #4, 11:49pm Feb 7, 2005 CDT

  • Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault?

    Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault?  I use an external hard drive as a vault for my Imac and I want to import photos to my Macbook pro.  I have aperture 3 on both units.  Can I just plug the ext. drive into the laptop and import from the vault?

    You can't import from the vault but you can restore that vault onto the MBP. This will restore the complete library that is contained in the vault.

  • I want to move ebooks from one computer to another.

    I want to move ebooks from one computer to another.  Both have Digital Editions installed.  Older one 2.0 ver has books installed.  Newer one has ver 3.0 no books installed.  Both are authorized with the same user id.  Do I have to upload from older machine to cloud first?  How do I do that?  Do I have to manually transfer files?  How do I do that?  Can I get pointed to online directions someplace?

    Figured it out.  Copy files to new computer and add to library from digital additions.  duh.  Why was it some much easier to figure out answer once I posted the question?

  • Moving Library from one computer to another

    Hi,
    I know I can share my library from one computer to another via a network, which I am doing. My issue is that I cannot do anything with the music on the computer that is sharing. I am wondering if there is a way to get the entire library from one computer to another. I have a Mac and a PC. I would like my library on both systems instead of just one. I need to be able to update ipods, create playlists, burn music etc... from both computers. Is that possible?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I've got the same type question. Is it possible to transfer my purchased songs from a computer at work via a flash drive? The firewall at work will not allow me to share files with my home computer, however, the computers at work download the songs I buy in about 15 seconds, my slow a** dial up at home takes over 15 minutes per song. I think this is still considered stealing, but I'm not sharing the songs with anyone, I just want to download them at work, then transfer them to my main home computer iTunes library.

  • Transferring external iTune library from one computer to another

    I am having great difficulty in changing my external iTunes library from my old MBP laptop to my new iMac 5k.
    My entire iTunes library is stored on an external drive and can be accessed directly with my MBP. When I started up iTunes on my new iMac, it created a new empty library in the MUSIC folder. What I want to do is connect my new iMac to the external library directly. I can see it when I turn on HOME SHARING but only when iTunes is running on my MBP, which is useless since my MBP will now be seldom used. I have of course on the iMac, changed the library location in the advanced preferences to the external location, to no avail. I do not want to keep any media files on the iMac for capacity reasons.
    To compound the problem, I cannot seem to sync my new iPhone 6+ to the original external library, only the new empty one!
    Surely this ought to be a simple job, transferring an external iTunes library from one computer to another! Am I missing something obvious here?

    Wow, what a quick response! Thanks, Limnos. I guess it was bleeding' obvious, and I should have thought of it before. Such a simple solution!
    On a related matter, I also have just realised that the iTunes iOS backups are saved on the internal computer drive in a folder called MOBILESYNC rather than on an external drive, thus chewing up a lot of capacity on my SSD. Others reading this response may be interested to know that it is easy to have iTunes save the iOS backups to any external drive using a symbolic link in this directory. Go to

    for the details.
    However, note that iBooks will NOT let you use this work-around, pathetic app that it is.

  • Moving Movie Rentals from one computer to another

    Is there a way to transfer an iTunes movie rental from one computer to another. I purchased it on one laptop but wish to play the movie on another laptop. It does not show up in the list on the other computer even though it is a shared laptop

    Sorry, but transferring a rental from one computer to another is not possible, at least not directly. It might be possible by transferring the rental to an iPod/iPhone and then transferring back to the second computer, though I don't know for sure.

  • HT1657 how do you move a movie rental from one computer to another computer

    I rented a movie from iTunes and downloaded it to my Macbook Air.
    I now want to watch it on my iMac, but it tells me its authorized to play on another computer.
    FAQ says I need to move it from one computer to another.
    How do I do this?

    You may be able to move it by syncing it to an iPod or iOS device capable of playing it and then using the Transfer Purchases function; it won't play on the destination computer if moved in the normal way.
    If it can't be moved that way, no.
    If the MacBook Air isn't usable, ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • How do I move ITunes from one computer to another

    I am trying to move my ITunes from one computer to another. I downloaded ITunes on my new computer and loged in with my account information. Then I pluged my IPod into the comuter and imported all my songs. I thought that everything would come over but none of my apps did. I want to synce my IPod up with my new computer how do I do it?

    Backup everything to an external hard drive with this User Tip.
    Use the same process to clone the library into a new empty iTunes folder on the new computer.
    Deauthorise the old box if you don't need to access protected content on it any more.
    Use SyncToy from time to time, and in particular before every iTunes update, to keep the backup up-to-date.
