Transfer iTunes from Dell to Mac - To include playlist, EQ, artwork, etc...

I was anxious to transfer my iTunes music to my Mac Book Pro, but all I got was just the music. I really don't want to sit there and hook up the EQ, artwork, photos, iTunes purchases, and especially all my work and school related playlist. I am using an external hard drive.
Is there an easier way to transfer all that is iTunes (Playlist, artwork, purchases, photos, EQ settings) from my dying to my Mac?

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

How to transfer files from Del to mac pro

How do you transfer files from my old Del to my new mac book Pro? Also would it be better to ransfer the files to a external hard drive?

Thanks Alot that works with purchasing a hard drive do you know any particular good ones?
Well you only really have a choice of Seagate and Western Digital now, however if you buy Hitachi external drive, even though WD owns them, it should be the best drive of all, certainly better than Segate + Maxor.
I would like to have one wireless.
External drives are wired, but you can hook them to a router and the router acts as the wireless data transfer to the hard drive.

Hands4 has posted a link to an article about Apple's PC migration assistant. Take a good look at the article. It is a novice friendly way to transfer your stuff - documents, pictures, music, contacts, and email from the PC to your Mac. I strongly recommend that if you choose this method that you use it the very first time you start up your Mac.
If you aren't concerned about keeping your mail and contacts it is also easy just to use an external drive or a flash drive to copy stuff from one computer to the other. Plotinus refers to formating the drive in a way that both Windows and Mac OS can read/write to it but no matter how the drive is formatted the Mac will be able to copy the files from it.
When my sister finally dumped Windows she was using Google Mail so all her contacts and email info was on Google. That made it easy for her to move into her new Mac with just a 32GB flash drive. Also, since she was using iTunes with her iPhone already most of her music could be redownloaded to the Mac which also made things a bit easier for her.

Transfer iTunes from iPod to Mac

Hi,
It appears that I trashed my i Tune music files, although I'm not sure how I can check this out?
Secondly, if in fact, files are gone can I transfer my music back from my iPod back to Mac I Tunes library? Please help.
Appreciatively,
Steve

It appears that I trashed my i Tune music files, although I'm not sure how I can check this out?
Look in the Music folder in your user Home folder. There should be an iTunes folder which will contain a couple of files and an iTunes Music folder. Examine that folder to see if the tracks are still there.
Secondly, if in fact, files are gone can I transfer my music back from my iPod back to Mac I Tunes library? Please help.
Search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your Mac.

How do I transfer itunes from PC to Mac?? I am new Mac user

Hi,
I have a Windows 7 laptop to which I have my ipad 2 and iPhone 4s connected/backed up to, I want to transfer the sync to Macbook Pro. Please could you advise how I could do this??
Thank You in advance...

Look in the Music folder on the laptop. You will find a folder named "iTunes". Copy this folder to the Music folder on the Macbook. Do this while iTunes is not running (very important). When you lauch iTunes on the Macbook after copying the folder you should see your entire music library and apps. Next Authorize iTunes on the Macbook to the same iTunes store account you had on the laptop.
Next connect the phone but do not sync. Go to the Info tab in iTunes for the phone and choose to sync Contacts with Address Book and Calendar with iCal.Alternatively, set them to sync with iCloud and also set the apps on your computer to sync with iCloud). Make sure there is at least on entry on the computer for iCal and for Address Book.
If you have photos on the iPhone also copy the photo library to the Macbook from the laptop and set the iPhone to sync to it on the Photo tab in iTunes.
After all of this if you sync you shouldn't lose anything.

You can't transfer the application since they are for different operating systems.
You would have to download iTunes for your Mac.
To transfer your songs, videos etc, just copy all the files in your ITunes directory to a portable hard drive, and connect the hard drive to your mac.
In iTunes on your mac, make sure the preference (under advanced) for "keep itunes folder organized" is checked.
Then add the folder from your portable hard drive, and all songs will will transferred to your mac.

How do I transfer itunes from one laptop to another

How do I transfer itunes from one laptop to another?

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music (or wherever the equivalent is on Windows) then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

How to transfer movies from my Apple Mac to my ipad.?

Where are these movies? what format do they have?
You'll need to Import them into iTunes, and sync them through there if they aren't in itunes already.
Yoiu may need to convert them to a playable format for the iPad. If its a video format itunes support, you ncan make playable versions for iPad from within iPad.
Alternatively if you find a Video App such as Moli Player you can import them into the App through iTunes File sharing as well without having to change their format. Moli player is capable of playing many types of videos and audio formats.
