Switching fromPC to MacMini, can I transfer iTunes with my Nano?

I'm sure this has been addressed before, I tried a search to no avail, but I was hoping someone here can help me. I've had my Nano for about a year, formatted for Windows PC usage, and just purchased a MacMini this week. I need to know if it is possible to transfer all of my library and settings in iTunes to my Mac.......then do I need to re-format my Nano for Mac use?

"I need to know if it is possible to transfer all of my library and settings in iTunes to my Mac"
Have a look at this Apple guide: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
".......then do I need to re-format my Nano for Mac use?"
Not necessarily but if you don't intend connecting to a PC again then yes it would be a good idea. Macs can read Windows formatting though strictly speaking using a Windows formatted iPod on a Mac isn't supported. Apple currently only supports using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac. What this means effectively is that if you need to apply a firmware update for your iPod and you wanted to maintain the Windows format you would have to do it on a PC. If you were to try and update a Windows based iPod on a Mac it would be restored and reformatted to the Mac file system and have the Mac firmware installed. Apart from that a Mac formatted iPod will mount and unmount faster on OS X than a PC formatted one.

    No, all iTunes purchases will remain tied to the account that downloaded them, they can't be transferred to a different account (nor can accounts be merged).

  • How can I transfer iTunes from an old iMac with an outdated e-mail address to a newer mac book pro?

    I can't transfer iTunes to a newer computer because I can't access the old e-mail I bought some songs under.
    Phone support did not help or would not guarantee they could help.
    Is there anybody who would know how to do this transfer?
    Thanks,
    Fred

  • Can you transfer music from a nano to a ipod touch?

    Can you transfer music from the nano to the ipod touch? how?

    After connecting your Ipod Touch to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, you can choose Transfer Purchases from iPod (Ipod Nano) from the File menu.
    Or you can right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your Ipod Touch in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    Please note that this feature only works for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod or iPhone to the iTunes library.
    Hope that helps you out.

    If you want to transfer your iTunes Media (i.e. Music, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc.) you can just replace the contents of your old Mac's iTunes media folder (User-->Music-->iTunes) with your new Mac's iTunes media folder using an external hard disk, dropbox, etc.

  • Can i transfer stock with transfer order in Inventory management?

    Can i transfer stock with transfer order in Inventory management between two storage locations in the same plant?

    I hope you are referring a transfer order and the transfer between two storage locations connected to the same warehouse, and just not doing movement at IM level with a transfer order.
    But, if you are referring to making a bin-bin transfer within the warehosue and you want to influence the storage location to storage location automatically, yes, you can do this. You should use 'storage location control' configuration under WM-IM interface to drive this. Essentially, you need to maintain the warehouse, destiantion storage type, plant, destination storage location and movement type 311. When you perform the transfer order confirmation to move inventory from a storage type (inventory is under source storage location) to the destination storage type (per the configuration setting) there will be an automatic transfer posting made to move inventory at IM level from source to desintation storage location.

  • Can I transfer videos with iCloud's

    Can I transfer videos with iCloud from one ios device to another?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I'm sorry, but you can't transfer videos to iCloud and you can't increase local storage after buying the device. If you want, you can put your videos on Dropbox or a similar cloud service if you don't want them on your iPad storage
