Tranfer itunes music from mac to pc

Please help.. I originally was using itunes on my mac. Now I am using a PC. I want to transter all my music from the mac and put it on my PC, but have no idea how to. I tried connected my ipod to the PC, but it tells me I have to format it. What do I do?? Please help me!!

I don't know much about macs, but if you still have access to your mac, I can offer some advice (Someone else might have a better way). Go ahead and format/restore your ipod on the PC.
Connect the ipod to your mac, let it load all the songs. when its done, disconnect it, hold the shift and ctrl key on the pc WHILE HOLDING THE KEYS connect the ipod and do not let go of the keys til itunes opens and list the ipod, this stops an auto update.
goto edit>preferences>ipod and set the ipod to "Manual update" then hit the advanced tab>general tab and make sure "Copy files to iTUnes music folder" is UNCHECK then hit OK
Now you can use third party programs like podutil http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php to copy all your songs/playlist/ratings/playcounts to your PC and iTUnes. You can use there trail version to do this, after every 50 songs it copies it pops up a window you have to hit OK on for it to continue, but thats a small price for something doing all this free
Hope that helps you out

Transferring iTunes music from Mac to PC?

My mom and I gave my sister a new iPod nano to my sister for a gift. The iPod will not mount on her iMac G3 (10.3.9) where all of her music is but it will mount on her PC running Windows XP. Both computers have firewire. Is it possible to hook them together via firewire and simply transfer her Mac iTunes library to her PC iTunes library? Will the PC just show up as a drive on her Mac if she hooks the computers up via firewire?
Also, she has some music she wants in her System 9 iTunes library. Where is the iTunes library for System 9 located on the HD? Can she just drag her System 9 iTunes music from from whatever folder they are in to the iTunes library on her PC?

Thank you for the information about the location of the iTunes System 9 library and about needing MacDrive for a firewire transfer but I doubt if my sister would want to fork over the money for it. Also, she doesn't have any other iPod other than the new one we gave her which won't mount on her Mac. My sisters Mac and PC are networked as they are both hooked up via router to the internet but both she and I are clueless about how to get the PC to show up on her Mac.
My sister has music in both her iTunes System 10.3.9 library and her iTunes System 9 Library. She mentioned that it was a PITA to convert the complete iTunes over from System 9 to Panther. However, I am hoping that the just the music in the System 9 iTunes library doesn't have any kind of funky file formatting and just the music alone could be just be copied to her PC iTunes library.
My sister doesn't have her music backed up so I expect that she will have to go ahead and do that and use the CDs to get her music over to her PC. I was just hoping that there might be a faster way to do the transfer so she can enjoy her new iPod sooner.

Combing iTunes music from Mac and Pc

Daughter originally had a Mac, which she had most of her music on. Then, her Grandmother bought her a PC laptop, just because. She has not bought music on on the PC iTunes, but she has put a few CDs on it. She would like to merge all the music on to her PC, including the stuff she's bought off iTunes. Is that possible by simply copying the mac iTunes library onto the PC or is there something else that has to be done?

Transfer itunes music from mac to pc

My daughter has a new PC laptop and I would like to get all her 900 songs off my mac and onto her PC. How do I do that? We have tried doing it via her ipod but the computer just wants to erase her ipod when she plugs it into the PC (I know this is because it's formatted to the Mac). I do have Pod to PC software and tried to use Xplay3 without any results. Is there another way to transfer the whole library?

My back up copy is on an external hard drive formatted for the Mac not a PC. I don't think this is possible for me to do. Can I burn the files to a DVD-R and then transfer them over and if so in which format should they put on the DVD-R? The support page was not helpful. No indication on how to transfer from a Mac to a PC.

How to transfer files like music from mac to ipad? tried it using mac but what happen was opposite!

how to transfer files like music from mac to ipad? tried it few times but what happen was the opposite.

If you want to sync your iTunes library on your Mac to your iPad ....
Connect your iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Click on your iPad's name on the left side under the devices heading. Then click on the Music tab - and select the music that you want to transfer. Does your iTunes window look like this - with Sync Music checked and the playlists or albums checked as well like in the photo below?
When you click on the apps tab do you have Sync Apps checked and all of the apps in the window below checked to sync as well?
If you select all of the items under the different tabs in iTunes - music, apps, photos. etc. - when you sync - all of the selected content should sync over to the iPad.

Can I send music from Mac Mini to my home stereo via Bluetooth connection?

I recently purchased a new Intel Mini with built in Bluetooth, and I wondering if I could use the Bluetooth transmitter to send iTunes music from the Mini to my home stereo system? If so, I assume that I would need to purchase a Bluetooth receiver of some sort to connect to the audio input on my stereo? Any ideas on which make/model of receiver would work with the Mini?

Hi.
Unfortunately, you cannot use the bluetooth module to transmit audio to your stereo.
Why? Because Tiger does not support the A2DP bluetooth profile (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), which is required to broadcast stereo audio over bluetooth.
Apparently, Leopard will support this profile (you'll have to wait for its final specs).
Meanwhile, there are a couple of wireless (wi-fi) options available, including the Apple Express with AirTunes.

Problems to download music from Mac OSX 10.4.11 to iPhone 4

Hi to you all
Since few days I am an owner of an iPhone 4. And also I have Mac with OSX 10.4.11 at home. Well, if I connect my iPhone to Mac to synch music from Mac to iPhone 4, the iPhone get not recognized and I am therefore not able to get my music from Mac on my iPhone.
During update on Mac, I got the error message on OS is telling "Installing iTunes.pkg could not completed, this package needs Mac OSX 10.5.
If I search on Mac for new update, it says "your system is updated and there is no other update available"
With other words, I can not get higher release on Mac why I am not able to get a new version of iTunes on Mac and therefore why I am not able to synch my music from Mac to iPhone. Very frustrating.
Any advise is welcome.
Thank you.

You will need to upgrade your version of OS on your Mac. You will need Leopard (10.5.8) or Snow Leopard (10.6.X)

Transfer iTunes library from Mac to PC?

I need to transfer an iTunes library from a Mac to a PC. How do I do that? I thought I could just download iTunes and then connect the iPod to that PC and it would sink the music from the pod to the PC but no such luck. It is making me format the iPod because it had been previously connected to the Mac. I don't want to format it unless I can transfer the music somehow.

Type "move itunes library from mac to pc " into the google search bar.
You cannot use the ipod, as far as I know
