Moving itunes from NAS to computer

Dear Reader,
Some months ago i transfered my ITunes to my NAS Drive on the LAN. as I needed much more space that I had on my computer. I was a long painful move, but i got ti to work i the end
Kmow I find I cannot sysnchronise with my iphone and outlook because the NAS seems to be too slow,so a syschronishation takes 12-14 minutes instreat of 2-3.I when iI use the iPhone and Outlook for work.
I would like to use Home Sharning but once putting my itunes on my desk top I seemed to lost almost everything alhough most of  my deskop music is present and all of my applications have disappeared.
I have not deleted any of the files on my NAS drive. I have two other compiuters I would like to share itunes with.
I would appreciate any help I could get.

  • Moving Itunes From one computer to another

    HI,
    Can anyone offer advice for moving Itunes from one laptop to another? The original laptop that has my itunes on it, has broke, it froze and will not operate. Rather that lose all my purchased music and playlists i would like to swap it to another laptop. Can anyone advise if this will be possible and how to do it? Both laptops have windows XP installed
    thanks
    Arlene

    Hi
    I am having a similar problem- when I record from Itunes to a cd it only works in "Data cd" format in the advanced tab. That's okay, but when I re-insert the cd and try to import it, it doesn't show anything- it plays in Itunes okay. There aren't any little boxes to check for selecting any songs and if I try to use the import function, it shows as blank.(file type shows as .txt) I am using Itunes 6- would Itunes 7 help this?
    thanks- I have a lot of music to transfer and this is a problem.

  • Help moving iTunes to a new computer

    I am reposting this question since I am still having trouble moving iTunes from my desktop (Tiger) to my Macbook (Leopard).
    I have successfully moved the iTunes folder to my new computer and all my playlists, album artwork etc are there.
    The problem is the actual music. On my old computer all the albums are saved under Users: Shared
    The new computer only has only user.
    It was suggested that I move it to the iTunes Music Folder.
    I tried that. Only half of the shared library copied - an error saying the remaining files could not be copied came up.
    When I opened iTunes the songs won't play because "the original file could not be located"
    - if i click to find it, I can then go to the iTunes Music Folder (which now contains 3 folders : Downloads, Podcasts and Shared).
    If I click on Shared - the music is there, and if I then click on the individual song it loads it and will play it.
    Is there anyone to do this en masse? With over 13G of music I can't reload each song individually. I am assuming the location I copied the music too is wrong.
    I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I think that most of the folders are locked. In leopard they don't use shared they have Public folders. Try going to the music folder then clicking Get Info and changing it. If that doesn't work try the Migration assistant. To get to that on leopard (I don't know how to on Tiger) Go to applications then utilities and select the Migration assistant.

    The only content that's associated with your account are songs, etc. that you've purchased from the iTunes Store.  Everything else (material imported from CD, bought from other sources like Amazon, etc.) is stored on your computer (or your mom's). So, even though you've logged into iTunes with your Apple ID you are still seeing the content of your mom's library (which implies that your running iTunes under the same Windows user account).  I believe that iTunes Match (which I don't have - its an add-on service that you have to pay a subscription for) allows your "local" content to be uploaded to Apple's cloud servers and shared in the way that you describe.  if your computer and your mom's are on the same network you may be able to access your songs by turning on network sharing (not Home Sharing) while both machines are on and running iTunes.

  • HT3819 I have Yamaha a/v receiver connected to network but it does not pickup my itunes from my Mac computer.  My os is snow leopard.

    I have a Yamaha RX-A2010 A/V receiver which is connected to internt but it does not receive my itunes from my Mac computer.

    Well, I see a few things that can be in the way:
    1. MAC address filtering is really not a security measure since the MAC addresses are sent in the clear (unencrypted) and many devices can have their MAC addresses changed easily with software.  I'd recommend losing the MAC filtering and just use WPA2 and be even more secure than you are currently.
    2. If you disabled the firewalls during the install, that may have been a bad thing.  The installer is supposed to create ports through the firewalls during install, so if they are disabled and later enabled, the ports are not there.
    3. Does your printer show up if you type its IP into a browser?

  • Moving iTunes from bad hard drive to new computer

    I messed up my XP computer so it won't boot.  I have the HD data though, therefore my iTunes library (somewhere, right) and my songs.
    I have a new Windows 7 computer and just synced my iPod touch hoping that everything moved right to iTunes like it did before.  Not so.
    I'd like to do 2 things.
    1) Get my apps (a bunch) and songs (only 35) on the iPod to sync to iTunes.
    2) Get my library info from my old computer over to the new one.
    Thanks for any help you can give.
    Scot

    This got my apps and purchased songs onto the computer.

    I don't really need the libarary as much, but if someone knows how to move it from an external HD, that would be great.

  • Moving Itunes from XP computer to new Vista Laptop

    I attempted to use the Windows Easy Transfer function to move all my files from my old computer running XP to my new Vista laptop. The process worked, but my itunes library states that "the song cannot be used because they cannot find the original file". Please help!

    The following article can be used as a basis for doing the transfer:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US
    The article describes using an iPod to do the transfer, but once you have your music all together, how you copy the iTunes folder from one computer to another doesn't matter. You can use an external drive or network connection.
    One you have transferred the itunes folder you need to set the permissions so your account has full control.

  • Moving Itunes from older computer to new computer

    I have a new computer and hoped to copy my itunes library from the old computer to the new one. I have copied successfully most of my music via an external/backup hard drive. However, I cannot find any of the my purchased music (itunes)that copied over. Also, is there a way to copy playlists?

    How to Copy and Move (Clone) your iTunes Library from One Computer to Another – or Archive Prior to a PC Re-Image or Reformat
    This is the conceptual framework with related and important links. Apply and adapt it to your specific situation and equipment resources.
    The safest, quickest, and most optimal method to move your Library to a new computer is to actually clone the entire ‘iTunes’ folder (directory) structure, rather than just copying just the song files. By copying the entire ‘iTunes’ folder and all sub-folders, you capture not only the music files, but the all-important ‘iTunes Library.itl’ database file (usually located in the ‘iTunes’ folder), which contains all the data about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). See: What are the iTunes Library files?
    Install iTunes on the new computer. Then go back to your old computer and move (copy) the "iTunes" folder which usually resides inside your "…\My Documents\My Music" folder from the old computer to the exact same place (both Drive Letter and complete Path) on the new computer. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will look and behave exactly the same way it did on the old, Play Counts, Ratings, Comments and all!
    NOTE: It is usually safer moving files between computers with the same version of iTunes!!
    iTunes Files to Copy and Move to your New PC
    1) All music files in their current folder structure (usually located in and under the ‘iTunes Music’ folder)
    2) The Library database file: ‘iTunes Library.itl’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
    3) The Library XML file: ‘iTunes Music Library.xml’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
    4) Any XML playlist files you created for Playlist retention
    5) The two iTunes.pref files (optional)
    -- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
    -- C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunes.pref
    6) The XML file of Ratings, Play Counts and Last Played attributes saved from the main Library and created by Otto’s SaveRatings script (also optional, but recommended):
    “Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/SaveRatings.zip . It's a program, just run it like any other program. Run it on the machine where you're copying the info from BEFORE you move the files to the new machine. Click the "Save Ratings" button and it'll create a ratings.xml file. Now when you move the files, move the program and this file as well. Then after you make your new iTunes library, run it again and click the "Restore Ratings" button. Voila, all your information is back in the Library. Well, most of it anyway, it's not perfect. It'll tell you what songs it couldn't figure out though, and there's usually not very many.”

  • Moving itunes from external hard-drive to another and using another comput

    Hi,
    This has probably been posted before but i couldn't find it.
    My itunes works on another computer, with the library (Edit->Preferences->Itunes location as g:\itunes), this includes the xml files for the library.
    I've now got a new laptop and external hard-drive and want to move the library onto the new hard-drive and use it on the new laptop.
    I think i can copy the itunes folder from old hard-drive onto new one, then point the itunes install on the new laptop to the new harddrive and it should pick it up?
    Any ideas?
    Matt

    Welcome to AD!
    +this includes the xml files for the library.+
    Does this also include the important itunes database file, the one with the ITL file extension?
    If so, your idea should work. Use Windows Explorer to copy the ITL & music files/folders over to the new exHD.
    Connect the new exHD to your laptop and make sure Windows sees it as drive G:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307844
    That is a very important step. Otherwise, iTunes will lose all the paths to the music.
    Now start itunes on the laptop by pressing *and holding* the shift key. Tell it to use the ITL file on the G: drive. Then set your iTunes preoferences to have any future additions go to the G: drive music folder.

  • Moving Itunes from 1 hard drive to another same computer.

    I am trying to move itunes from my "C" hard drive to a new "H" hard drive to clean up my "C" drive. I was wondering if any one could tell me how to do this? I have tried to copy and paste but with no luck.
    I know it must be simple bit I can seem to make it work

    As noted above, change the pres.
    Then go to menu Advanced -> Consolidate libary.
    iTunes will copy the music to the new location.
    Then delete /My Documents/My Music/iTunes/*iTunes music* folder.
