HT1347 I have movies on my Hard drive that I would like to add to my iPad how do I get them into iTunes to download to my iPad question mark

I have movies on my Hard drive that I would like to add to my iPad how do I get them into iTunes to download to my iPad?

READ the article from which the question was posted. Then follow the instructions for importing content to iTunes on the computer.
Once the content is in iTunes, connect the device, select the content desired to sync, and sync.

I have downloaded golf instructional videos, how do I get them into iTunes

I find the four videos in the Finder under Movies. I can open with iTunes, but how would I import them into iTunes so I can share and view on my Apple TV, iPads and iPhones?

Or drag and drop the file(s) onto the iTunes window.
Personally I had good experience with the mp4 format, which is the iTunes native format!
Once the files have been added they will show up under the section MOVIES.
From there you can give your videos further Meta Data to keep them organised, i.e. have them showing in the section TV SHOWS all under one TITLE.

HT4527 When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, even though all of songs were copied over, not all of them went to iTunes, some appear to be stored elsewhere. How can I find these songs, and how do I transfer them to iTunes?

When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, all my songs were copied over, but not all of them were stored in iTunes. It appears they are on the computer somewhere, but not on iTunes. Where are these other songs likely to be, and how can I get them onto iTunes? Because of this problem, Apple will not allow me to update my iPhone.

You may/must have had music files stored outside of your iTunes library.
I'd recommend going to the Finder and then via the search box look for files with mp3 aif m4a aac etc. depending on the music format your digital music had. With the list of files shown you should be able to learn which files were stored outside of your music > itunes folder
Chances are they could be burried somewhere under your documents, downloads, desktop, ... we all have different storage and organization habits.
Then when you find the missing files, on the new computer you can do add to library and go to the folder on the other computer where the missing files are - if your systems are networked - or sneak them over using a USB thumb drive or portable hard drive if you have lots of files, or if you like to have an extra backup of that music, copy to optical disc.

I just got a new computer with Windows 7 and all my songs were transferred to my new computer along with itunes. But I can't get it to work. I also tried downloading Quicktime and couldn't get it to download.

Hello, I'm trying to transfer my old itunes library to a new computer using home sharing. It's switched on in both computers, but I can't see the old library in the new computer. But I can see tracks from the new computer on the old one. Please help.

Apologies for poor syntax, my arm's a little sore. Yes, one computer (old) is vista, new is Windows 8. Shouldn't I be able to import the whole library using home sharing? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you in advance

I am having the same issue. I recently purchased a new laptop and I have spent the last 3 days using the home share to slowly transfer all 22,000 songs. However yesterday morning when I turned on both computers to continue the process I am having the following issue:
both computers are running the same windows OS (8)
both computers are running the same version of itunes
both computers are logged in with the same apple ID
both computers have home sharing turned on
Now however I can see the NEW computers itunes library in the drop down box on the OLD computer, however I can not see the OLD computers itunes library on the NEW computer. I can no longer see "HOME SHARES" on the drop down LIBRARY list on the new computer. I've taken the following steps to correct the error:
reset the router
completely shut down BOTH computers and brought them back up
reopened itunes
re-logged in on both PC's
re-activated both PC's with home share
The articles and help from the apple sites are worthless and it says if you can't see a library just turn home sharing off then back on - I've completed the above steps NUMEROUS times. After spending 4 days on transferring my music I really do not want to have to start over by using an external hard drive and then importing that way. I would like some help on discovering why the new laptop is no longer seeing my old library. (When it has been working up to this point)
Thanks in advance.

Computer crashed, need to load files from ipod to new computer

my computer crashed and had no backup files. i have all my songs on my ipod and need to load them to my new computer. how do i do this?

Hi! Welcome to Apple Discussions Forum.
If you have purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store, then those are pretty easy to transfer to your computer. You'll just need to follow [this instructions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305465].
All your other songs (for example, those ripped from your CD's), you'll need to use any 3rd party program to transfer them to your iTunes library!
Some can also transfer your playlists, videos, ratings, podcast...

I bought and downloaded CS6 on line. computer crashed. Can I reload the program on new computer?

I purchased CS6 and down loaded on line so have no disk. Computer crashed. Can I download online to new computer?

yes.
if you installed and activated on your crashed computer you'll need an activation reset to install on two (non-crashed) computers, but to install and activate one one should be no problem.

I have the old ipod touch without the camera and i received a new one with camera as a gift how do I transfer eveything to new ipod from old?

I have the old ipod touch(without camera) and I received the new one (with camera) as a gift. How do I transfer everything from old one to new one?

Make one final USB sync with the old iPod. The sync includes a backup. Then connect the new iPod to the same computer/iTunes library and restore from the backup of the old iPOd. All the synced media like apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media is not included in the backup that iTunes makes. For how to restore see:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
