If it's a shared folder that you can see, but the music is in fact on somebody else's computer, you CANNOT move it or do ANYTHING with it, other than listen to it.
If that's now what you're talking about, please explain what you mean by a shared folder.

  • Moving music from my iphone to a new authorized computer (mac)

    Can I move my music from my iphone to my mac that i just authorized with itunes?

    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content from an iPod or iPhone that was purchased from the iTunes store, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
    With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    If your iPhone includes iTunes content that was not purchased from the iTunes store such as music that was imported into your iTunes library from a music CD, you need to transfer your iTunes library from the computer you were syncing your iPhone with to your new Mac.

  • Moving music from one computer to a new computer

    I printed out the directions from the web site and followed the 13 pages exactly and successfully transferred my music library to the ipod, then from the ipod to the new library. None of my music that was purchased from iTunes will copy from the library on the new computer back to the ipod (nano). Music that was imported from CD copied fine. I do not have too many computers authorized. Only had the one on which music was purchased and now only want to still have one, the new one. Please help!

    I figured out my answer. Had to authorize the new computer by playing a purchased song.

  • Moving music from external hard drive to new computer

    I lost my iTunes library, but still has my music file on an external hard drive.How do I get my music onto the new computer + Itunes from the external hard drive?

    On new year's eve some POS shot a .40 cal bullet through my living room window and hit my 20" 2.4 GHz iMac on the edge of the screen. -- Let me just pause to say that we're lucky we were out at a party. -- Anyway, this iMac was the hub for our media. We used it to sync/control content on our ATV, of which we had about 200 GB of music, TV, & movies (mostly purchased via iTunes). I had a Lacie hard drive connected to the iMac for storage of the iTunes Music folder (I was running 10.5...it wasn't upgraded to OS 10.6). Anyway, I didn't have the media backed-up (not using time machine), but the external hard drive wasn't damaged by the bullet. I now have the 21.5" 3.06 Ghz iMac with OS 10.6. Is there a way to get the new computer to use the content on the Lacie hard drive?

  • Moving music from external hard drive to new cpu

    My hard drive failed, so I got a new one, backing up all iTunes music to an external drive. I got a new hard drive and had to reinstall iTunes. The reinstalled version does not recognize my iPod nor does it show my music collection, which I dragged from the external drive into the iTunes music folder. How can I get iTunes to show my music and playlists? iTunes asks to sync with the iPod, which would erase all music on the iPod.
    Also, I did not enable disc use on the iPod.
    Thanks.

    To make this happen (which i recently did the same type of thing) you need to open up iTunes and while youre waiting hold in the shift key. iTunes will ask you to locate your library which is basically the file which tells is where youre music is and will reload the music and playlists, etc.
    The only catch is that hopefull when you copied all your music to the Eternal HD you copied the iTunes music folder usually stored on the C: drive of any computer to the HDD as well. This .lib file which should be found in the my iTunes folder is what should laod all the music back on there for you. Everytime you close iTunes it updates this folder automatically.
    Hope this helps!

  • I need help: Moving music from an ipod to a new library.

    Hi, so I'm having a lot of trouble. My friend just gave me his old Ipod because he just got a new one. And it has a lot of music on it that I want. But I don't know how to take the music that's already on the ipod and put it onto my itunes. Because my itunes keeps saying the Ipod is synced to another library and that I need to sync it to my library. But to sync the ipod to my library all the songs that I don't have that are on the ipod I loose and all I end up with are the same songs I already had. So I hope you guys understand my question. I just wanna know how to move the songs from the ipod to my computer without loosing any music.

    There are probably programs you could download to transfer music on windows, but the old way works fine. First you will need to change your folder view options to show all hidden files. Then plug in the ipod and ignore itunes (dont quit it or the ipod will dismount) open the ipod drive and go into the ipod control file, then into the library file. There will be a bunch of files all starting with F. Inside of those are the songs, they will all be labeled some random 4 letter title. Once you drag them into itunes they will regain all the correct titling and info. This will probably take a while, and its really only for situations where your computer crashes and you want ALL you music back. You really can't pick and choose the songs you want from it, since everything is labeled gibberish, and they are in no order whatsoever in the F folders.
    Good luck. You could also just look for a free program somewhere to transfer the music. My method is the old way.

  • Lost old backed-up files while moving music from an old computer to new Mac

    I was following the support topic, "How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer" on the support tab for iTunes. I followed all of the instructions and in one of the final steps, I was gping to put the estimated 1000 songs I already had on my Mac back into itunes. BUT, the folder on the desktop that SHOULD have had the files in it is completely empty. I need help locating those files. iTunes now only show the roughly 700 songs that I transferred in from my old computer. My boyfriend is going to be so angry if I lost 1000 of his songs...I followed the instructions on backing up those songs...how can I fix this???

  • Moving iTunes music from "shared library" to "library" on a Mac??

    I want to put music from my iTunes onto my new iPhone 5 but I cannot because all my music (except 4 songs I recently bought) are under the "SHARED" drive and I cannot sync them (manually or automatically) to my new iPhone 5.
    My goal: to get all my music into my iTunes library and out of this iTunes "shared library", and once I get them there I'm pretty sure I can put songs/playlists/movies/etc on my iPhone 5. 
    So here is my story timeline (maybe it will help?)
    1. I had an iPhone 4S linked to an iTunes library on a PC for a couple years.
    2. I bought a Mac Pro (super excited) and bought 4 songs on the library on the Mac (my PC was still in use at the time)
    3. My PC started acting up.
    4. My iPhone 4S broke (long story).
    5. Yesterday I bought an iPhone 5
    Where I am at today:
    6. Now I have a MacPro and an iPhone 5
    7. My current iTunes music library displays only 4 songs in it
    8. All the music I bought and had on my PC are now showing up on my Mac's iTunes, but under the "SHARED" tab and not under the "LIBRARY" tab
    What I want to do is be able to combine the music I had on my old iTunes (currently in my SHARED library on the Mac) with the 4 songs I bought recently (4 songs in my LIBRARY on the Mac). After I combine the two libraries I want to be able to put music/movies/aps onto my new iPhone 5. ...I cannot do this right now because all the music that I have is under "Shared" (except those new 4 songs...I really want more than 4 songs on my iPhone) and I cannot get the shared music onto my new iPhone.
    Any and all help is appreciated, ~eks1111

    You'll have to buy some software for the PC that will read Mac-formatted drives.

  • How can I move music from my iPod to my new computer if my computer can't SEE the music from the source?!?

    I have read through lots of suggestions for moving my music from my iPod to my new computer...but can not seem to overcome a very difficult hurdle:
    When I connect my very old iPod to my computer and click on the icon to open it, only 3 folders come up:  Calendars, Contacts and Notes.  I cannot "backup" anything useful here!
    When I open iTunes, the program can see my iPod, and lists the complete library...but I cannot KEEP it in my computer!  WHY?!?
    When I go to iTunes > File > Library, I do not get a "backup" option to use to backup my iPod music, either.
    HELP, please.  I have spent hours fiddling around trying to figure out how to do this, and am getting crankier and crankier.
    Thanks in advance...

  • How do I transfer music from my ipod to a new computer?

    I need to move all the music from my ipod to a new computer so I can put it in iTunes?

    The best way is to use the backup you made on the old computer and restore the iTunes folder to the new computer. No backup? The if the old computer is still working using an external device to copy the iTunes folder from the old computer and copy it to the new one.
    If neither of the above are doable, and you have a PC, use this:

  • Is there any way to transfer photos, music from my PC to my new iPad(3)?

    Is there any way to transfer photos, music, from my PC to my new iPad(3)?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)
