do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

How To Transfer iTunes Rented Movies from Mac to Apple TV

I have an Apple TV (ATV) 3rd generation. I rented a movie through iTunes on my mac and downloaded the movie onto my mac. I see in the Apple TV manuel at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 that ATV 1st generation had the ability to move movies from iTunes on mac to be stored on the ATV.
Is this possible on ATV 3rd generation?
Is the only solution to airplay from my mac to the ATV?
If airplay is the only answer then is there any picture loss with this method?
Thanks

5th gen iPod transfer iTunes library contents from device... Please help

I have a 5th generation iPod with video, a new laptop (Windows Vista) with the latest iTunes 10.4 installed and am trying to transfer entire contents to iTunes library. I have gone through help topics, discussions, manuals, etc. When I open My Computer and Select F: drive / iPod device my photo folders appear but none of the music files. My device does appear in iTunes but thats it. Since my previous laptop with the iTunes library associated with this iPod crashed a year ago, Im unable to access anything from previous library . I have been at this for 2+ hours, I hope someone is able to help me, please. Thanks.

What's the best way to transfer itunes music collection from pc to pc

So after some weeks of working at it, I finally have my itunes collection on my Dell about where I wanted, stray tracks have been returned to their proper home, genres are properly assigned, album art located and placed where it belongs and duplicates have been eliminated and so forth. I thought the time had come to transfer a copy of this magnus opus to my surface pro 2. Itunes loads just fine to SP 2 desktop (since the SP is both a full function PC as well as a tablet the absence of an itunes app for the SP is of no significance).
I used a flash drive to transfer the files located under itunes. What I discovered was much of the album art did not transfer and perhaps a quarter of the music didn't transfer either. I can't explain the former, but the latter appears to be related to music I purchased through Amazon which is stored elsewhere (although Itunes had no difficulty finding it on my Dell and I had no trouble working with it to get the various tasks completed that are mentioned above). I thought I could just perhaps copy the amazon folder to SP 2 music folder but that didn't work either.
So the thought occurs to me that I am making entirely too much work of this. There has to be a relatively simple way to transfer the Itunes collection to another Itunes program, also running on a pc. What easy thing am I missing, yet again? thanks!

There is more to an iTunes library than the purchases alone.
There is more to an iTunes library than the media files alone.
The library files and album artwork folders contain other data that should be copied. The iTunes database may hold the only reference for artwork for some files, and will be the only place holding metadata for any files in .wav format. It is also where playlists, ratings, play counts and other data not stored in tags resides.
In particular each library has a unique ID, copying the media alone doesn't transfer this, and syncing a device to a library with a different ID can cause data loss.
Copying the entire iTunes folder is the key, but even then extra care may be needed if the library is in the wrong shape, e.g. files stored outside the media folder, or the media folder not stored inside the main iTunes folder.
The vector used for the transfer, flash drive, external hard drive or network, can be selected according to availability and suitability. In the case of the Surface Pro 2 we're unlikely to be discussing a large library, but you should be aware that people have libraries larger than any available flash drive.
One transfer over a network may be faster, or more convenient, than copying files to a secondary drive at the source computer and then copying again from that drive to the target.

New laptop, how do I transfer iTunes and library from other computer?

I still have the original disk to install iTunes, but it won't install properly. My biggest worry is that I'm going to have to re-download all of my songs once I get iTunes onto my new commputer. Can someone tell me how I can transfer everything over, or if it's even possible?

Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your second computer is to network it with the first one and copy your iTunes folder across. Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). Everything has to be exactly the same on the new computer including the Windows user account name. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the first computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the second computer.
If you have an iPod it can be used as an external drive and you can move the iTunes folder onto it: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

Data transfer to new mac from timemachine...

My old macbook (2009 June) model broke. So i am buying a macbook pro. I have all my data in time machine, how can i transfer them to new mac?
Is it also possible to migrate applications like microsoft office which I bought for the other mac to new one? or should I buy a new license?
Can I also migrate settings in Mail program...
Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for your response. The new Mac will have all of the system stuff and some of the included software like iLife that I won't want to transfer. What I do want to transfer will be 3rd party software like PhotoShop and other Adobe CS3 items and Quicken, things like that.
My suspicion is that if there were anything in the way of corrupted files that are contributing to this iMac's slow deterioration they would probably be somewhere in the system files and I won't need those on the new iMac.
On one occasion I had to reinstall the system on this iMac and I used Time Machine and the thing I really liked was that my preferences and most settings came over intact, and I want to do that with this transfer. I think I remember having a lot of options as to what to restore and if I'm right the transfer to the new iMac should go well and my fears will have been otiose.

How to transfer iTunes purchased songs from work system to home system

I have an itunes account set up on my computer at work and have recently purchased songs that reside at work. Unable to burn purchased songs on work system.
Signed in at itunes at home and unable to find songs purchased with same itunes sign in id at work.
How do I go about finding the songs using the same id.

They are on your work computer. You canot download them again (for free) from iTunes.
You need to copy them off the work computer.
Use an iPod or a removable drive.
You can email them although the file would be pretty big.
You can FTP them somewhere.

How do I transfer iTune gift card from one iPod/AppleID to another?

I applied an iTune gift card to my son's acct vs my daughters. The gift cared was for $25, but when it was first loaded, it said it was only worth $24.01. No purchase was made. Is there a 99 cent charge for the gift card?? How do I get the remaining balance transferred to my daughter? If I can't, can I purchase song on one AppleID and give it to another AppleID? Thanks
