Transfer iTunes play count data from old laptop to new Macbook Pro

I have just purchased a macbook pro. Previously I had a Dell laptop running Windows 7. I had stored all my music on an external harddrive, I have successfully transferred my music to my new iTunes library. However, all the songs have no plays, is there any way I can transfer this data to my new macbook?
I also need to transfer iPad 4, iPod Classic and iPhone backups to the mac.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Also I would like to transfer all the data such as the start and end times for each song.

  • Transfer iTunes Library and iPhone Sync data from old iMac to new Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I bought a macbook pro in September last year, previous to this I had an iMac. This has all my music and iTunes stored on it.
    Is there a way to transfer my iTunes over to my new Macbook Pro and sync my iPhone as if my phone thinks it's the same computer, so I don't have to restore my phone or set it up as a new one.
    Thanks.

    Yes.
    Simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

  • Transfer of data from old mac to new macbook pro..

    when I connect my firewire to my old macbook to transfer data to new macbook pro during installation set up, do I click on option for transfer from another mac or transfer from time machine or other disk?  Old mac will be set up in target disk mode....  I had terrible problems with transfer using migration assistant and it looks like i MUST get this right during initial set up (I had support help me wipe hard drive and restore to factory settings to start over......)

    Time Machine or other disk (Target Disk mode makes it look like an external HD).

    Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant.  If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

  • How to transfer Address Book from old iMac to new MacBook Pro?

    I will soon be getting a MacBook Pro 15" Intel Core i5 with Snow Leopard and want to transfer my Address Book from my old 2003 iMac flat 15" panel running 10.4.11. What is the best way to do that? Is there a particular file or folder that I can copy onto a flash drive to transfer to the new computer? Or can I use my Mobile Me Backup that is on my external drive (or on CD) to do it even though the Backup on the new computer would be a newer version from the older Backup that has the data? I would like to avoid having to use the Migration Assistant if I can, since it looks like that is designed to transfer whole categories of files (like all "files and folders", etc.), which I don't want to do. Thanks in advance for the help.

    When I bought my new MacBook Pro, the sales person showed me how to do the V-card method that you suggested. I tried it at home, and it worked. I have been worrying for years about the best way to do this, so was very relieved to find such a simple method. David Pogue in the Tiger Missing Manual also mentioned another tip which I used: he said to select all the address entries you want to transfer (in my case it was all of them) and then just drag the whole lot out onto the desktop. A V-card icon appeared that said: "Name of Person plus 344 others". I then copied that to a flash drive and then onto the new computer desktop. I then dragged it into the Address Book window. As you said it was done in a matter of seconds. Thank you so much!

  • Importing iTunes library from old powerbook to new macbook pro

    What is the best way to import my old itunes library (from my 10.4.7 powerbook) to my new macbook pro?
    Thanks!

    I'm still having some trouble, can someone give me guidance? Here is what I did:
    1. Connected old mac (PowerBook G4) to new mac (MacBook Pro) via firewire 800 and target mode.
    2. Located "iTunes Music" folder on old Mac and pulled the entire folder into "iTunes Music" on the new Mac.
    3. I restarted.
    4. iTunes didn't find the new music, it does find the one song I've purchased using the new Mac. I think this makes sense, because now the folder structure has an embedded "iTunes Music" folder (from the old Mac) in my new mac's "iTunes Music" folder. The structure looks like:
    -iTunes Music
    ----[folder for the one song I've purchased on the new mac]
    ----iTunes Music (this is the folder from the old mac)
    ---------[folders of music from the old mac]
    5. So I went into the iTunes Music folder I just imported, selected all the music, and copied it one level up.
    6. The result is on my new mac, my "iTunes Music" folder now contains all the music from the old mac, plus the one song I've puchased using the new mac.
    7. I restarted my new mac. Restarted iTunes, but still the only song that's recognized is the one I've already purchased. The others aren't showing.
    8. I've gone into preferences/advanced and confirmed I'm pointing at the right target folder.
    Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong here?

  • I followed the instructions to copy and paste ALL profile files from old PowerBook to new MacBook Pro, so why are no bookmarks now shown in Firefox?

    From the page
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recovering-important-data-from-an-old-profile#w_copying-files-between-profile-folders
    After dragging and dropping the profile folder from the old PowerBook to the new MacBook Pro, I followed the copy/paste instructions, apparently successfully, to replace all the files in the latter with all the files in the former -- essentially to transfer my Firefox browser functionality from the old computer to the new. However, on starting Firefox, I have ZERO bookmarks (in other words, Firefox looks like it did when I downloaded and installed it a couple days ago). One note: When I performed the operation, I had used the new version of Firefox almost not at all, yet in the course of copying and pasting I had to permit replacement of HUNDREDS of bookmark files with identical names. How could THIS be?!?

    It is normally best to only restore personal data that you really need (bookmarks, passwords, etc.) and not a full profile folder.
    The xxxx in the name of the JSON backup (bookmarks-####-##-##_xxxx_$$$$.jsonlz4) denotes the number of bookmarks in the file and a file hash ($$$$) is appended to check if it is necessary to save a new backup, so only if there is a different hash because bookmarks were modified then a new backup is created.
    If you remove the newer backups that were created before you restored the backup and only leave the bookmark backups from the saved profile then Firefox should rebuild the bookmarks when you remove all the places files.

  • Transferring data from crashed pc to new MacBook Pro Retina

    I am trying to transfer data from back-up discs from my old pc to my new MacBook Pro.  I have a USB superdrive and have inserted the first backup disc but the Macbook does not seem to be responding.  I am trying Migration Assistant but it is stuck on the 'Looking for source' screen.  Does Migration Assistant work for a pc backup disc?  If not, how should I go about transferring the data without having to do it file by file?  I also have the pc backed up on Carbonite but they will only transfer the data to a new pc and not to a mac.  Help!

    Hi nickih64,
    When using the Migration Assistant to move data over, there has to be a computer that has be working as Windows version of Migration Assistant needs to be installed and running to make the connection. You would need to have that working or from your back up disks, drag and drop over the information that you want on your MacBook Pro.

    I was wondering if I could just move my total Users Folder from the PB to the new computer?
    Are there items in this Tiger Users folder that would not work in the new Leopard Intel computer and should not be moved?

  • How to move a Logic licence from old to a new MacBook Pro

    Anybody knows, what I have to do to transfer a license for Logic 8 (Logic Studio) from old to new MacBook Pro. Have I to "deauthorize" Mac before selling; Mac itself and whole Logic Studio before installing on the new one? I upgraded from Logic 7 with a "help" of a L7 dongle.
    Thanks for any advice in advance.
    Bostjan

    I would just delete the apps (also Soundtrack Pro/Mainstage/Compressor in case you installed them) and the Folder HD/Library/Application Support/Logic as well as any third party AU/VST components from your old Macbook (HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components). Also delete all L8 receipts from the Folder HD/Library/Receipts.
    Then just install L8 on your new Macbook, enter your dongle when asked for during the Installation and all will be fine.
