Transfer Library from Mac to another

I got a a new MacBook Pro a couple of days ago and want to transfer all the iTunes content on my iMac to the laptop. Is there a way to do the transfer without losing some of the details I have tagged (i.e. album art, rating, play count, etc.) ??
Thx,
LKYO

That's all?
Thx, should really be testing it out rather than asking people... but the MacBook Pro's looks so cool, don't really wanna mess it up. haha

  • Cannot transfer Library from Mac Power G4 to new Macbook Pro via MA

    I just bought a MacBook Pro for my daughter, and tried to copy the files from old PowerBook G4. Applications and files are fine but not the library which is grayed out.
    I do not know whether the username causing the problem, as the account name of the new computer is different from the old one
    Thank in advance

    I presume you are not talking about the iPhoto & iTunes libraries.
    MA does not copy the System & User Libraries across but it does copy some of the contents across such as application preferences, Mail records, etc. There are new files in the new Libraries relevant to the new hardware so to overwrite new with old could lead to all sorts of problems. If the OS on the G4 was not 10.5.2, eg was 10.4.x the Library structure might also be significantly different. Nevertheless you might find it necessary to copy certain files from old library to new. You need to be logged in as administrator on both computers to do this and might need to validate further the copying using the admin password. This should be possible with drag and drop.

  • 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

  • How do I transfer photos from iPhoto to another computer keeping the "events"

    How do I transfer photos from iPhoto to another computer keeping the "events"

    Do you want to transfer the entire library?  If so just connect the two Macs together and copy the iPhoto Library from Mac A to Mac B and put it in your Pictures folder.  Be sure to rename it if you already have a library in the destination folder so as not to overwrite.
    Under no circumstances should you import a library into another library.

  • I'm able to transfer iPhotos from Mac to MacPro but data I've added to photos does not transfer. What am I missing? Tried using Thunderbolt, AirDrop, Flash drive with no success.

    I'm able to transfer iPhotos from Mac to MacPro but data I've added to photos does not transfer. What am I missing? Tried using Thunderbolt, AirDrop, Flash drive with no success. Do I have to use iCloud for 800 vacation photos or re-enter all the data after transfer? 

    There is no support for mirroring or syncing iPhoto libraries or Aperture libraries.  You can however export partial Aperture libraries on one mac and merge them into other libraries on a second Mac.
    To transfer your edited photos open your photolibrary in Aperture and and collect the edited photos in an album. Then select the album and use the command "File export > Album as new library". This will export all edited photos as a new Aperture library. Copy this library to your other Mac and import it with "File < Import > Library to your other photolibrary on that computer (assuming you are having the same Aperture version on both macs). When merging the new library into your Aperture library, opt to keep the newer versions from the imported library.  iPhoto 9.5.1 will be able to open these merged Aperture 3.5.1 libraries.

  • How to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes

    how to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes ???
    as i want to use my ipad for official use as well...please suggest..

    well to be 100% technical, no you didn't but that aside, it good to know there are ways for people to transfer music into the default apps without iTunes, if they have a need.
    I tend to use 3rd party apps for documents, like your mentioned iExplorer etc, which are handy.
    I see from a search the two "apps" you mentioned are not iOS apps, which I had assumed, SyncPod and FreeSync are apps for your computer, that would explain their access to the default Music/Video apps.
    I had wondered how Apple had allowed iOS apps in the store that could get around the sandboxing in iOS of apps.

    my mac disk is full and i cant transfer files from Mac to USB. saying the format is not good, how can i change the format and what happened to the files i have on USB?

    Once something similar happened to me. The external drives I had set up for FCP to use for some reason were not mounted, and FCP put all its render files on the main drive and I couldn't find them anywhere.
    Go to applications, and control-click (and hold down) on your FCP icon; you should get a pop up menu that says "show package contents". Select that, select the "contents" folder, then the "mac OS" folder. See if your quicktime file is in there, or if you've got render files in the "render" folder or audio render files in the "audio render" folder that don't belong there.
    That's where FCP sticks stuff when your documents FCP project folders are not available or when external drives you've selected aren't available.
