Opening opening up my Itunes library on someone else's computer

I am having a problem with my powerbook g4 and would like to open up my music library, on a Lacie hard drive, on my sons PC. What's the best way to do this without causing any problems?

If you have the iTunes folder (not only the music) on the external and it contains the iTunes library file, plug it into another Mac, then launch iTunes and immediately press and hold Option. It will ask to *Create new* or *Choose existing library*.
Select *Choose existing library* and select the iTunes library file on the external drive.
If the iTunes library file is not on the external, open iTunes and go to File -> Add to library if you want to add all this music to this iTunes.

Logging into iTunes on someone else's computer

I have authorization to unlock my iPhone. Can I log into my iTunes account using someone else's computer to complete the process?

That will create a problem regarding your iTunes content. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with one computer at a time. So, if you do this on a computer you don't normally sync with & then go back to the computer you do normally sync with, you're gonna lose your iTunes content each time. But, you can re-download it or sync it back.

Sorry reply is only to say "ditto" except for iPod involvement. I can't repair iTunes, can't access it when in programs/features
Any other suggestions out there? I tried reinstall, no difference. Had latest version anyway. Only thing different I did the last time I was able to get into iTunes was listen to radio streams. ??????

Possible yes. Something you would want to do? Not likely.
Music bought from the iTunes store is only licensed to the Apple ID that bought it. The other iPhone has no right to play it, and as such it would require your Apple ID and Password on said Phone to be able to play. Are you willing to do that?
It would also be illegal, and akin to piracy.
You will also overwrite any other music they may have in their iPhone and replace it with yours.

Hi, I have an iphone 4 with my itunes library on a Windows XP computer. My spouse (who has now passed away) had an itouch with an itunes library on an IMac. here is the problem, I bought an new iphone 6 and wanted to sync with my windows xp library and of course my itunes version is out of date and I need to update it...well I try and update the version and it will not update the Itunes library and when I researched it I would have to upgrade from XP to Windows 7...r they kidding me...first of all my computer is old and a pain in the *** but I have my itunes library on it. Sp to get my phone working I sync'd it on the IMac and my spouses Itunes library has been sync'd to my iphone and I don't know how to get my library on it...After thinking about it I want to combine the libraries after all there are some purchases on each one.
I have done some research and you have to buy a 3rd party piece of software...this is not the way I want to go...I do not think i should have to buy one and also when I do a goole search there are a ton of them out there and I am sorry i do not trust the comments as some of them do identify that they will get a kick back.
Can someone help, i should be able to export my itunes library from my iphone 4 to the itunes library by appending/importing it...it is not rocked science on what I want to do and I cannot find out any process...
Can someone help ?

I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

Copy the iTunes folder (Mac: Home\Music or PC: My Music) to the same location on the new computer. If an iTunes folder already exists on the new computer (it will on a Mac) replace it with one you copied.

Your library will only be where you put it. Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.

I have an old iPod Classic with 80 GB (I think) of space. I saved all my songs in an external hard drive, but the iTunes library resided in an old computer (no longer working). Can I get the libray from my iPod and use it in my new computer (Windows)?

TV shows will only appear in the cloud if you are in a country where they can be re-downloaded from the store (you can't add them yourself), in which case they will appear in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app for re-downloading. But they will only appear there if you are in a country where they can be re-downloaded, and then only as long as the TV company leaves them in the store (content providers occasionally remove their items).

Do you mean you do not have a backup of your stolen computer?
