Move music from one computer to another?

I have a Macbook and a desktop PC. I bought an album yesterday on iTunes, using my Macbook. I would like to put it in the library on my PC as well (which has a different library). Is there a way to do this?

If you're using iTunes, to burn music to a disc you have to make a playlist first. Select or highlight the music you want to burn(click while holding shift or apple key). Then after music is selected, go to File and then select "New Playlist from Selection". This will make a new playlist under "playlists" on the left of iTunes. When you click on the new playlist, you will see see the music you selected. In the bottom right corner of iTunes will be the "Burn Disc" button, which you will click once you are ready to burn the disc. Hope that helps!

  • Need to move music from one computer to another

    Wondering how to move my music from one computer to another. My laptop is being replaced and need to move all my iTunes items from here to a desktop. What is the best/most cost effective way to do this? TY

    It is very easy. First get something to transfer your itunes file to the laptop (network$, thumb drive$$ (depending the size), external hard drive$$$ with cost of drive and plus a case it can be costly). Those are in order of slowness! After all those files are on the desktop download itunes. DO NOT download itunes first you will be begging for trouble. Open itunes and it will take a few seconds and it should find the file on it's own. Now all you need to do is sign into itunes agree to all the fun stuff and there you go. I did mine with an external Sata hard drive via esata and it could not of been easier. To find the file you need go into music/my music and find the big file named itunes. just copy and past and let er rip.
    Good luck

  • Can I move music from one computer to another using iTunes?

    I have two computers, one I want to retire.  Both computers are running iTunes.  I want to move my music from the old PC to the new one.  I turned on Sharing.  I can play music from the old PC on the new one.  Can I move the music files within iTunes or do I do a backup/restore of the music outside of iTunes?

    The easiest way to do this is with File > Add to Library...
    Navigate to the other computer's iTunes Music folder and select everything you want to copy.

    Drag it onto the new computer's internal drive, and from there into the open iTunes application window.

  • HT1178 How can I use Time Capsule to move music from one computer to another?

    I want to move all the music I have on my old laptop (macbook) to my new macbook pro. How can I do this? Easy, simple, steps would be greatly appreciated!

    Are you moving the itunes library?? That is entirely different to moving just music.
    Apple have specific instructions for moving libraries..
    And there is no need to use the TC.. other than as a switch and router.. share the folder in one Mac to copy to.

  • How do you move music from one computer to another

    I have ripped my entire CD collection to an old laptop, basically turning it into a jukebox.  I would like to move the music to my new laptop as well.  I have tried to copy the music folder to an external hard drive and then copying it to the music folder on the new laptop, but this does not seem to work, as the music does not show up in iTunes. I have tried opening and closing iTunes, to see if this would work, but it has not.  Please help. Thanks.

  • 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?

  • HT3819 Can I transfer music from one computer to another via home sharing?

    Can I transfer my music from one computer to another via home sharing?

    So long as they are on the same wifi network, yes.
    Have both computers running and have iTunes open on both computers.
    Now, in the iTunes on the computer you want to transfer music to, select the library that you want to transfer music from, as per the following screenshot:
    Once the other library loads, go down to the bottom of the screen and in "Show:" select "Items not in my library":
    If you want to import all of the songs you can now see, head up to the iTunes menu bar and go "Edit > Select all". Then head down to the bottom of the screen again and click the "Import" button in the bottom-right-hand corner.
    If there's a lot of stuff in the library you're transferring from, the transfer may take some time.

  • I want to transfer my music from one computer to another, however a large majority of my songs are already on the new computer, is there a way to transfer only the ones not there? or to see what songs are only on the one computer

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Homesharing gives you the option of seeing only the content in the shared library, that is not already in your own library.

    Why is the "Import" button grey when I'm trying to transfer music from one computer to another using Home Sharing?

    Hi lexipuppy,
    I dont know if you have your music on your other computer was on itunes, but if it was, make sure that you signed into your itunes account on your other computer. If you are signed in then your music should show up in your library.

  • 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.
