Multiple devices on same account - how to transfer ALL files in one place?

Hi,
I am using my Apple ID on 5 apple devices, incl. 2 laptops and Mac. Need to migrate all files to one computer for syncing with iPhone and cut out some devices, but...
Question 1:  How I can move ALL my music files from old MB Pro (runs Mac OS X 10.5.8) with iTunes 10 to Mac (runs Mac OS X 10.9.2) with iTunes 11.1.5?
Note, this includes songs purchased outside of iTunes and burnt from CDs. Is it possible to somehow easily identify the songs that are missing on Mac and copy just them from the old computer, but without manually comparing? For now for whatever reason Mac only has 401 songs vs my old MB Pro has 1670+ songs. So, please suggest how to make the import on the missing songs to Mac as efficient as possible.
Question 2: How do I deauthorize the device once I copy my old music to Mac? Currently only see the button "Deathorize All" in iTunes on Mac. What if I want to choose which computers I still want to be able to stay on the same Apple ID in iTunes?
Thanks a lot!!

Decide which Mac is your primary. On the Mac that is not the primary - create a folder on the desktop - drag all the tunes from iTunes into that folder - copy that folder to an ext HD or a memory stick.
Plug into the primary Mac and tell iTunes to import all the tunes from the folder.
iTunes has good sort options so it won't take long to get rid of the duplicates using the Show Duplicates from the View dropdown menu.
An alternative would be to check at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/ and see if there is a script that will take care of what you want.

    How to transfer all materials from one plant to other plants?

    Hi
    To transfer stock in one step  between plants belonging to same company code use movement type "301" and using transaction code "MIGO". IF you like in two step it helps to monitor stock in transit use movement type "303" and "305".
    303 Transfer posting plant to plant in two steps - removal from storage
    305 Transfer posting plant to plant in two steps - placement in storage
    to transfer stock between plants of diffrent company code go for stock transpor order using tcode "me21n"

  • How to transfer the files from one server to another through pl/sql...?

    I want to transfer all the files from source server with respective directory to designation server with respective directory (designation server - oracle reside server).
    Is it possible to ftp from one server to another server(designation server - oracle reside server) through pl/sql. these two servers are independent & unix server.

    No ... The package mentioned in

    this works for across the server i.e. transfer the files from one server to other (it is basically ftp) ..
    So it is NOT correct that this code transfer the file between two location & with in server..

  • Is it possible to transfer all files from one Apple ID to another

    Hello,
    For work I currently use an iPad Air (iOS 8.1.3) and just recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.10.2) . The only issue is that I will be using a different Apple ID on the MacBook then I was using on the iPad. My question is, is it possible to transfer all of my pages documents from one Apple ID to another all at one time or will I have to manually share each document with myself. If there is a way, would it be possible on the iPad app, the MacBook app or on the iCloud website.
    Thanks for your time and help

    No, it is not possible. All purchased items under one Apple ID are permanently connected to it. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID. You can, however, repurchase the items under your new Apple ID.
    You can always call Apple to see if they can be of help.

  • 1 Apple ID, 2 Gamecenter accounts, 2 devices. need both devices on same account, how?

    sigh, I've literally been trying to solve this for like 6 months. On my iPhone, I log into Game Center with my Apple ID, and it's my usual account, obviously, now on my iPad, when I write the exact same email and exact same password, it goes to a different Game Center account with a different score, different name, etc. This is flat out stupid, ive tried everything and nothing works, something so simple, changing accounts. Somebody must know something.

    I am having similar problem.  I think I know how it happens but not easy to fix. 
    "Apple ID" account is different than iCloud account, but when setting up new phone, everything asks for 'apple ID' although you can use icloud or apple ID.  Apple ID is typical for itunes store.  if one user for both, it's ok to use both.  but for multiple users this is the problem.
    my problem is I set up my husband's iphone and set him up on my itunes account (accident), so it merged my contacts into his contacts because I put my apple id in there.  I created an icloud email for him to try to fix it but it links this email account now to my apple id still.  and when I created an icloud me.com account for him, it didn't ask for a password. 
    trying to figure out how to create a separate icloud account for him to separate our contacts then only use apple id for apple store/itunes.   ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CORRECT THIS? 

  • Multiple devices on iTunes account how do I use the iCloud without us getting each others texts

    I have 2 iPhones one is mine one is my boyfriends when I downloaded the software he was receiving my texts on his phone even though I chose to only connect his phone through my computer both phones and my iPad are on the Samuel iTunes account I deleted the account from the iCloud to stop it but how do I keep the cloud and stop it from getting our texts on both phones?????

    You can keep everyone on your iTunes account all you have to do is have everyone create there own iCloud account. Me, my wife, and my son all have our own iCloud for our own use. I have my 3 devices linked to mine, my son has 2 linked to his and my wife has 2 also. For some reason by default the iDevice will ask you to use your iTunes account but you don't have to. You can create it right from the device itself if you want a @me account which is the way to go IMO. you can also go to iCloud.com and create it there too. We have a total of 8 devices linked to one iTunes account for purchases and everything works like a champ. Hope this helps.

  • IChat - Synching Chatting History from multiple devices on same account

    I currently have the iChat server up and running on a MacMini running OS X 10.6.4. I see in the iChat client on my MacBook Pro where it will load past messages when I open a chat with a buddy. I am also running a jabber client on my iPhone (IM+ is the iPhone app). What I am curious about is if there is a way to load chat history for the account, not just from the device.
    For instance, when using Skype the following will occur. I can chat on my iPhone, and then when I login to my Laptop, the history of chats sent from my iPhone will be added to the history on my Laptop. I am trying to prevent having to look back at every device I use my jabber account on to find that one IM message that has the information I need.
    Is there a way to sync the account on all clients (or at least just my MacBook Pro) so I can view chats there sent from all my devices and not just from my Laptop?

    Tim,
    I have turned on the logging feature inside of the iChat server, and I have seen all IMs being sent are saved.
    So do you think this is more of a client side problem of not being able to sync from the Message Archive on the OS X Snow Leopard 10.64 iChat server? Meaning that if the IMs are being saved, then all that really needs to be done is to create a client that will access the server log and do a compare of its local saved history with the server saved history and then takes any missing IMs and adds to its local history log?
    Am I far off base on this, or does this seem feasable?

  • How to transfer music files from one computer to another

    Hello,
    I have home sharing enabled on both my mac and pc. I can't figure out for the life of me how to actually transfer
    songs from my mac to my pc with home sharing enabled. How do you do this?
    Step by step process please. I have the latest versions of Itunes installed on both machines.

    Hello clissmann,
    For the step by step of transfer music over using Home Sharing, take a look at the first article below. If you are stuck or having issues, then you may want to use another alternative like an external hard drive to copy that information over. The second article can help you out with that if you go that route.

  • How to transfer Keynote files from one computer to another?

    I been transferring files to my new mac from my old mac, and have found that the Keynote files don't open. Instead, I get error message -10660.
    How do I successfully transfer files?
    Thanks

    I'd suggest first creating an archive of the Keynote files (using Create Archive from the Finder's File menu), and see if those transfer properly.
    (According to the freeware app Error Codes, that error occurs when the app you are trying to run is in the Trash -- that's not the problem, is it?)

  • How to transfer site files from one computer to another?

    I've got a couple sites archived on my MacBook Pro that I'd like to move over to my iMac. Is there an easy way to do this that will retain all the site settings and so that the sites will show up in the site files window as I'm used to working with? (CS4)

    Yep, super easy too if you still have DW on the machine you are transferring from.
    1. Open DW on that machine, go to Site > Manage Sites > Export to create a .ste file for the site.
    2. Make a copy of the entire site folder for the site and put it on your new machine along with a copy of the .ste file.
    3. In DW on the new machine go to Site > Manage Sites > Import to import the .ste file
    3a. You "may" need to relink the site's root folder under Site > Manage Sites > Edit to point to the newly copied site folder on the new machine, but all the FTP info will be there from the import
