How to Transfer iTunes Library from Windows to Mac

I'm having some trouble moving my iTunes library from my old Windows XP Dell to my new MacBook Pro. I used my iPod video on the Dell, but now that I have a Mac, I want all my songs to be moved over there. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do this. I looked at the Apple Support pages, but none of them address this particular issue. Can someone guide me on how to do transfer my library?
Thanks!

the ipod now showing up in my computer or wherever is probably because the ipod is not set for disk use. go to the ipod settings in itunes and fink the check box where it says "enable disk use" this should make the ipod show up. now you should be able to put the songs onto the ipod as a music file to transfer them. other methods of transfer could be an external hard drive, a travel drive, a usb cable, or the most convenient but frustrating way is to open the ipod folder in my computer... and nvm i cant remember how to do it and dont have a working ipod at the moment to find out. ill post that solution later. i will say it involves opening the folder where the music is saved on the ipod, copying them onto the computer and renaming every single file. this is convienient only because it doesnt require modification or movement of any songs to the ipod because it uses the ones on there. all the files renamed with random letters and numbers when put on the ipod so youll have to reorganize all songs

Moving iTunes library from WIN to MAC os X with Parallels desktop

Hi Everyone,
I just move from PC to MAC ! I would like to synchronize my itunes library (music and appli) with my iPhone / iPad in the new environment. I'm still using Win 7 under Parallels desktop under Mac os.
What is the best solution ?
Best regards and thank you for your attention and answer. Vincent

I don't think you can do this without using the Consolidate function (which requires you to have "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" and "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" checked).
However, if you were willing to accept a slight modification to your present set-up I think something could still be done. First you need to look at this article :

Assuming you've followed that route, you now have all your WAV files in iTunes. Here you can adapt the Genre tag to sort / create playlists from not only what iTunes puts in there, but your own additional Genre information also (for example I've combined all my Soul R&B and Disco genres by adding the SRBD suffix to each separate genre then using that suffix to pull them all up if I want). I also use the Comment tag to store release date (or in my case, Chart Entry date, but it's the same principle).
Bottom line, I don't think you can exactly replicate your current setup, but I think you can modify it.

It will take a little time and patience so read through the steps first. Remember - Turn off auto sync in iTunes on the Mac, then transfer purchases and then backup your iPad before you sync with iTunes.

Transfer itunes playlist from pc to mac

I recently purchased a macbook pro and need to transfer my playlists from my pc to my mac. I have already transfered my library but my playlists were extensively long. Home sharing will not work as I am often on the road and without an internet connection. What is the easiest way to do this? Thank you for the help!

I've done this successfully PC-to-PC, so I'll give you instructions for that. Fingers crossed, they'll be enough of a guide for a PC-to-Mac move too.
First on the PC, find your "iTunes Music Library.xml" file. See the following document for instructions on where to find it (note that it's the .xml file you're looking for):
iTunes: What are the iTunes library files?
Transfer a copy of that file across to the Mac. (Via email or thumb drive, etc.)
Launch iTunes on the Mac and import the iTunes Music Library.xml file from the PC. To do that on iTunes for Windows, you go "File > Library > Import Playlist" as per the following screenshot:
Browse to the location of the iTunes Music Library.xml file from the other PC, select it and then open it. (Fingers crossed, the import procedure should be pretty similar on the Mac.)

How do I transfer my info from my old Mac Mini to my new one?

I have two Mac Mini's. The old one is a Power Mac 10.5.8 (no Intel) and the new one is a dual system running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. I only have one monitor and a wireless connection. How do I transfer my older files and applications from my old Mac to the new one? I bought a 40/80 Firewire cable and connected it to the proper ports, and changed the monitor setting to shared...held down the T and restarted the old Mac...still nothing. (These were tips I got from forums.) Anyone have other ideas?
Baring that, I also tried to save my files to a dvd and put them in a burn folder, clicked burn, but it wouldn't burn. I never used it before...am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Anna

Migrating music and all iTunes info from pc to Mac

I have just purchased my first Mac.. I have been totally unsuccessful migrating any information over.
I have even selected single folders and 10 hrs later no luck.
How do i get all of my itunes music,podcasts etc transfered over to my new Mac?
Help please...

First, you have to transfert your iTunes file from your PC to your Mac. To do so, you have to go to your music folder on your PC and locate the "iTunes" folder. Copy it to an external hardrive. Then, copy this folder on your Mac into the Music folder.
Now maintain the alt button on your Mac and open iTunes. It will ask you if you want create or locate your iTunes Library. Click on choose library. Select your iTunes folder.
You will then have all your playlists, music, videos, podcasts back.

How to transfer itunes library from PC to mac

I'm trying to move my iphone from my old PC to my new Macbook pro. I've tried copying the entire itunes folder from my pc and copied it on the Mac. it synced and i didn't lose my information luckily, but i can't listen to any of the music on the Mac. i get an error "The song “ ” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"
any suggestions on this would be great. obviously i missed something here. The new Mac is authorized so i've done that. all the music still plays on the iphone as well, which is good.
thank you!

How do you transfer iTunes/playlists from PC to Mac?

I have a PC and my iTunes library has 15,000ish MP3's and over 100 playlists. Even though my iTunes is located on my PC, the music is stored on an external hard drive. Im thinking of buying a Macbook. Ive spent hours upon hours preparing playlists over the years and need to know if you can transfer iTunes and the playlists? I wont make them all over and it will be a deal breaker for buying a Mac if I have to make these playlists all over. Last year someone at Apple store said they could do it for like $70. Really? Im gonna pay $2500 for a Mac and you waanna charge me $70 more? No Way! Please help.
Thanks

You can transfer by copying the entire iTunes folder and all the files and folders it contains to the other computer. If you have an empty library on the new computer you can just copy the moved folder over the empty one and start iTunes. Alternatively, put it in another location and start iTunes with the option key held down and point it to the new library location.
A problem you may incur is your external drive. If it is formatted NTFS for use with PC you may find your Mac can read files on it but not write files to it. THe best solutiuon will be to reformat it for use with a Mac but this will entail erasing all files in the process so you will need to store them elsewhere when reformatting. You will need to name the newly formatted drive with the exact same name as the old drive. If you didn't format it to NTFS but used FAT32 formatting, that will work with a Mac too, but most PCs will format to NTFS.

Just purchased a mac.transfer itunes info from iPhone (playlists,rating,etc

I just purchased a mac, and I have all my music on my external HD which I've since transferred to my mac, but I'd like to transfer my playlists that I have stored on my iPhone over to my mac, along with ratings, play count, and all other options I set in iTunes. Is there anyway to do this???

try going to version tracker.com and do a search, there are some commercial, shareware and freeware version. I have never used any of them so I really don't want to recommend any one.. just look at the "release date" and the star ratings there is a freeware one rated pretty highly called "Pod to Mac"... again, never used one so I have no idea

How to transfer itunes library from windows to mac, not all my songs were successfully transferred

I recently bought a new mac air and the Apple Store transferred my files from my windows laptop( windows 7) to my new mac. however, I lost over a 1000 songs in the process. How can i get all my songs into my new library?

Hello pmwildcat
I would use either Home Sharing or use an external drive to get the songs and copy them over. If they are purchased items from the iTunes Store, you can download them from looking at your purchase history.
