MOVE music from default iTunes library to another?

I'm new to itunes/ipod use. Cannot figure out how to MOVE SOME of the music I've already imported into the default iTunes library to a separate library I created to hold JUST Christmas music. I can create the "Christmas" library and can switch between it and the default library in iTunes but am unable to move music between them. I have the ipod set to manually manage music and to use as a hard drive (I think).
iTunes has to be the most frustrating system I've ever used!!!

Not sure what you've tried. Do you want to move the actual holiday music files? Or just temporarily add the holiday music to your main library?
I just have it all in my main library, and all properly tagged with genre=Holiday. Then I have a smart playlist where Genre=Holiday. Now that I don't want to hear any of that stuff anymore, I went into the smart playlist for HOliday, and control-checkmarked it.
Now, none of that stuff will play - it is unchecked, so will get skipped during playback and shuffle.

Can I export music from my iTunes library to another application?

I've been trying to figure out how to export music from my iTunes library to either Movie Maker or Roxio My DVD Creator. If I browse to my iTunes library, it doesn't show any music within the artist folders. I take it the only way I could use the music is to burn a CD and then open it using "my computer" and copying it to a folder on my PC and then browse to it from the other applications?

I think AAC will get you a little better quality for
the same file size of an Mp3. If I recall, iTunes
saves the original file and makes a copy with the
converted version. But to be safe, just make a backup
copy of the original file
And I take it that it makes no difference what format the file is in, it will still upload to the iPod and be playable there. I guess the default is set at AAC in iTunes and I never knew where/how to change it.
Thanks so much for your help!

I cannot move music from my itunes library to my iphone after an update

Hi
I recently updated my iphone 3GS and now I cannot move any music from my itunes library to my iphone. I have also had to sync my iphone with my laptop as my PC that I used before no longer works.

Connect the phone to your computer
Wait for it to appear in the list on the left side of iTunes
Click once on it in that list
Look to the right and scroll down to Options - one of the checkboxes says Manually manage music and videos

How do I move music from my iTunes library to my iPhone?

iTunes 12 is certainly a different UI from before. Previously, there was an icon of my plugged-in iPhone in the upper right corner of the UI to which I could drag items I wanted to transfer to my phone - movies, music, etc.
That's gone. I'm seeing my iTunes library, and the iTunes store, but no references at all to my iPhone 6 that's plugged in.
So, how do I now transfer items from my iTunes library to my iPhone???

You can connect your iPhone (wired) to you Mac and in iTunes an iPhone-icon will appear right next to the three dot in the white top bar. It will also appear in the sidebar you can open by clicking on the playlistsbutton right next to My Music. If you click on your iPhone in the sidebar all folders on the iPhone will be unfolded and you can drag and drop music from you library to you iPhone (as shown in the screenshot below).
If you click on the iPhone icon in the white bar, you get the screens to manage the content of you iPhone and synchronize.
PS: the iPhone should appear wireless as well, but does not most of the time. This is a bug. I expect it to be solved in the next update. Until then we must work wired.

How do I transfer music from one iTunes library to another?

Whilst out of the country and therefore not connected to the internet, using my laptop to play iTunes, then suddenly the library seemed to disappear! When back in the UK and internet-connected again, found solution to locating previous libraries so, thankfully, all songs retrieved! However ........... my latest Adele 21 CD was loaded during the interim period, so how do I get this file from one library to another, without using the CD, as my son has now taken this with him for his 7 month naval deployment to the Carribean!

My mother's father's brother's daughter contacted me two years ago. I have never seen them, but they are "family". Can I copy their CDs?
You would have to take this up with a lawyer. Apple Discussions isn't the place to get legal advice. You can read some takes here (in particular "Copying CDs" at the very bottom where it mentions "personal use" which I don't think means distributing copies to family members not in your immediate physical location).

Can I postpone music from one iTunes library to another?

Recently I got a new computer and I was wondering if it's possible to postpone my music from the old to the new iTunes. I wouldn't like to keep the old computer only to use the old iTunes.
I've already tried to copy it to a memory stick and put it on my new iTunes that way, but it didn't work.
I thought about burning everything on CDs but that would be my very last option.
Has anybody help?
Thanks

+"I've already tried to copy it to a memory stick and put it on my new iTunes that way, but it didn't work."+
That will work. Copy the songs from the old computer to the memory stick, and then from the stick to the new computer. Make sure you know where they are on the new computer, then use the iTunes command File > Add Folder to Library.

Sometimes when I move music from my iTunes library to my iPod I get incorrect album art. Any known causes/fixes?

Sometimes when I move music (typically an album) from iTunes to my iPod I get incorrect album artwork on the iPod. Is this a known issue with the iPod classic and are there any fixes other than a complete restore and sync of the iPod?

You can manually manage or you can sync by playlist/artist/album/genre/checked songs.
Maybe you should read the manual:

How to transfer music from 1 itunes library to another

hello, i need help both my dada and i have 30gb ipod videos. He has some music on his ipod that i want to put on mine. how do i do that. My teacher says to create a new playlist, and then drag the files into my library.
tahnks

Your teacher doesn't know all the complications (why would you ask your teacher?). If you have no music on your iPod at all, then just connect your iPod to his computer, check off the songs you want, connect your iPod, and change its settings so that it will only add checked songs (you may have to update it twice). If you do have music on your iPod, you'll have to add the songs of his you want on your iPod to your own iTunes library/playlist (considering all the songs already on your iPod are on that playlist). If you'd like to put his songs onto your PC via his iPod, you can use PodUtil (google it) to rip his songs, and put them on your PC. Good luck.

I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help

I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help. Is this possible. In former versions of itunes this was posible. I can't find the solution is iTunes 11

Perhaps those apps require a newer version of iOS than is compatible with your iPod.

Is there a way I can move movies from one itunes library to another on the same computer?

Is there a way I can move movies from one itunes library to another on the same computer?

Locate them in the Windows Explorer, move or copy those files as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window when the second library is loaded. If you're using two iTunes libraries on one user account, you only need to locate the files; otherwise, they need to be put in a shared area.

How do I move the music from my iTunes library on my desktop computer to my iPad?

How do I move the music from my iTunes library on my desktop computer to my iPad?

Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via control-S on a PC, option-command-S on a Mac), and then use the Music tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your iTunes music to sync to the iPad's Music app

Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear-) and so on. I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay

Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear…) and so on. I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay to my Ipad. My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library? I`d appreciate any help. Alex.

On the iPad you can stream videos, photos, or music from the Video, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps to an Apple TV OR just stream music to an AirPort Express Base Station.

Can i get music from my itunes library (created with different computer) onto wife's ipod library (created using different computer)? Hope this makes sense

iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

Can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system? Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?

can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system? Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?

Sorry, not sure if I understand what you are asking.
Are you thinking of moving your iTunes / Media Folder from your Mac to the Time Capsule?
If you do this...when...not if...the Time Capsule drive has a problem....you lose everything because you have no backup for the iTunes library.
A much safer plan would be to add an external hard drive to your computer and move the iTunes library there.
Then, if you are using Time Machine for backups, it will back up both your Mac and the hard drive. Now you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.
In order to stream music from the iTunes library, iTunes must always be open on your computer.
Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?
Yes, if your TV has an HDMI input and you have an Apple TV.
