Moving itunes from one comuter to another after a crash

Had a computer hard drive crash. Since I needed a new computer anyway, bought a new computer. Hooked up the old hard drive as an external, and copied it over to the new harddrive, so I have access to the old data.
I re-installed itunes, hooked up the ipod, and it said that it was already linked to a different itunes.
Two questions.
1. How do I copy my songs and licenses for purchased songs from my old harddrive (which is now part of the new harddrive) to the newly installed i-tunes.
2. once that is complete, how do I tell the ipod it's OK to use the new i-tunes on the new computer?
BTW, I do have tune-transfer installed on a separate computer. Will that come in handy for this endevor?
Thanks

Well, It seems that starting ITUNES while holding shift,
then giving it the library location of the file from the recovered drive (except on the new computer) worked just fine.

  • 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.

  • Moving iTunes from one machine to another

    MY HARDWARE:
    OLD:  Apple iMac G4 1.25 GHz  300 GB HDD
    NOT SO OLD: Apple MacBook Pro 2.33 GHz Intel Core2Duo   500 GB HDD
    MY MAC SOFTWARE
    IMAC: MacOS 10.4.11,  iTunes 9.02
    MACBOOK PRO:  MacOS 10.6,  iTunes 10.6.1
    For years, I've put this off, but my iMac is getting long in tooth and I thought I would post a question here.
    I've used the iMac for a desktop workstation and family office file server since 2003. I've also used the iMac to run iTunes to feed an aging iPod. (ripping music from CDs, downloading video and audio podcast subscriptions and playing them on the iMac, etc.)
    My goal is to eventually replace the iMac, but I want to shift all the iTunes responsibilities to my MacBook Pro now.
    Is there a way to copy all the necessary files and folders over so that the MacBook Pro can pick up the music and podcast subscriptions without any hiccups or needs to re-establish links?
    NOTE: to date, I have never bought any music or movies from the iTunes Store.
    ALSO OF NOTE: I have backup copies of the Users folders on both machines on an external hard drive, if that helps.

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
    Start iTunes.
    That is all you need to do.

  • 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.

  • How do I transfer itunes from one laptop to another

    How do I transfer itunes from one laptop to another?

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168 
    Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
    If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  (or wherever the equivalent is on Windows) then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • Moving Image from one Review to Another?

    I attempted to upload an image (open in Photoshop) to a specific review. However, I could not see the desired review in the Photoshop CS Review panel. Out of frustration - after attempting to "find" the desired review for several minutes - I uploaded the image to another review and then went online, using Safari, to Acrobat.com.
    There is no visible means of moving an image from one review to another. There is a way of dragging one review (with all sub-images) to another location. But I can't see a way of moving a sub-image from one review to another review.
    IF there is some "magic" that someone knows I would sure appreciate some education.

    This works quite well for a single image review. I've moved them from one workspace to another. The issue is when a review has multiple images and you want to take only one of them from that review and move it to another review in another workspace; I can't seem to get that to work at all.
    When I open a review and navigate to the desired image, then click in the lower left corner and select a new workspace to move the image to, it moves the entire review - not the single image - to the new workspace.
    I guess I could delete the "part" from the workspace it currently exists in and then create it as a stand alone review, but then I won't be able to imbed it into another review as I want to do.
    The source frustration here is that I can't get CS Review in CSPS5 to navigate to the desired workspace/review. I get "ALL REVIEWS" displayed but not the workspaces... Any ideas on how to display workspaces instead of reviews?

  • Moving Stack from one folder to another?

    Is there a way to keep a stack together while moving it from one folder to another. When I grab the stack and drop it to a folder, I view the folder and the images are no longer in a stack. It would save me a lot of time if they would stay stacked. Am I missing something?
    Thank you.

    Well your code is unreadable because you didn't post it properly, but I'd guess you've fallen into the old multiple-delete trap in a new way. It's like this:
    To start with you have messages numbered 0, 1, and 2, let's say. So you write a loop that lets i run from 0 to 2 and delete message number i in the loop. What really happens? The first time through the loop you delete message number 0, after which you are left with messages numbered 0 and 1. The second time through the loop you delete message number 1, after which you are left with message 0 only. The third time through the loop you delete message 2, which isn't there and you get that message.
    That's just a guess, I didn't have the patience to read that ugly unformatted code. There are two ways to do the multiple delete properly, if that's actually your problem: (1) run the loop upwards from 0 and always delete message 0; (2) run the loop downwards from N-1 to 0 and delete message i.

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

    You can then delete /Users/Shared/iTunes/ folder.

  • How do I transfer iTunes from one computer to another?

    How do I transfer iTunes from one computer to another?

    This really depends on how technical you want to get, and how much of the library data you want to retain. First, there is getting the actual song files over to your new computer. If both computers are on the same network and are on iTunes 9, you can use home sharing to transfer the song files to your new computer.
    Once the files are transferred, now you have to get all of the metadata transferred, like Playlists and Song Ratings. There is a method for doing this that involves editing your Library.xml file to transfer Playlists, Playcounts, etc..
    If all you want to transfer is your Playlists and song files, there are programs that will back up your playlists so you can transfer them to a new computer, but if you're able to do the above XML edits (which are pretty simple), that is preferred (and cheaper).
    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.
