Transfering Movies and TV Shows to new computer?

I started with a Acer laptop. I have a large Itunes library with music, apps, TV Shows, Movies and Podcasts. I am not worried about the Podcasts because I can go to the store and get those again. The music I have gotten for the most part using a external flash drive. How do I get the TV Shows and movies to transfer? Where are they in the Itunes folder? Or can I burn these things to a DVD or CD?

They should be under the same iTunes folder as your music, in 'TV Shows' and 'Movies' sub-folders - you can find the exact location by doing 'get-info' (control-I) on one of them and the file location should be shown on the bottom of the Summary tab, or just right-click on a film or tv show and select 'Show In Windows Explorer' from the pop-up.
You can then copy them to a CD, DVD, flash drive or external drive and copy them onto your new computer and into iTunes (films and TV shows can be copied to a DVD for backup purposes but you won't be able to play them in a normal DVD player). If you have a wifi network in your house you might also be able to copy them via home sharing over your network (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527), but depending on how many films and tv shows there are it might be quicker via a disk or external/flash drive.

  • HT1329 Moving movies and tv shows to new computer.

    If I move my iTunes library to another computer using my iPod in disk mode, will it move my movies and tv shows as well? Any help would be appreciated.

  • I cannot connect to Home Sharing on iTunes, so that I can send movies and TV shows to another computer.  The other "library" does not come up in the box on the upper right side of the iTunes screen.  I tried disconnecting each computer from Home Sharing.

    I cannot connet to Home Sharing on iTunes, so that I can send movies and TV shows to another computer.  I cannot find the name of the other computer in the "Library" box on the upper right side of the iTunes screen.  Do I need to have the other computer connected to the Cloud?

    Mkae sure you have enabled Home Sharing using the same AppleID on both computers.

  • I got a new computer but my itunes is still on my old computer.  how do i move my itunes to my new computer and get it off of my old computer

    I now have my daughter's old laptop computer.  She had her itunes account on it previously and now has her music libraries, etc. on her new laptop.  I just uploaded itunes to her old computer so I can put my own music on the computer.  But itunes still shows my daughters 2 apple devices on the old laptop - her iphone and her ipod.  How can I put my devices on the old laptop and make sure I don't mess up her devices that she syncs, etc. to her new computer?  I have an 'older' nano that I put music on years ago using a laptop (that no longer works) that I'm trying to put more music on.  I also just got an ipad so am using my new apple account now (I can't even remember my old account information).

  • I downloaded digital hd copies of movies onto my parents' computer and they have a new computer now, and the movies aren't there, even though they have the same apple ID. What do I do to get them to download?

    I downloaded digital hd copies of movies onto my parents' computer and they have a new computer now, and the movies aren't there, even though they have the same apple ID. What do I do to get them to download?
    New computer: Dell, Windows 8.1
    Processor: Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
    64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
    16 GB RAM
    itunes up-to-date
    Old computer: Dell, Microsoft Windows XP
    Processor: Intel Pentium D CPU @ 2.80GHz
    1 GB RAM
    itunes not up-to-date (updating it isn't really an option)
    I have these movies downloaded on the old computer from digital hd redeemed codes: Fantastic Mr. Fox, Super 98, Thor, Inception, The Hunger Games, and Star Trek Into Darkness. I bought Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl on itunes with money, and that one isn't showing up either. When I search it on itunes to see if I can just re-download it, that isn't an option. I would have to buy it again. Home Sharing isn't what I want because the old computer will not be here forever and it is not connected to wifi.
    It's kind of a lot of movies, and I want them on the new computer.

    im so happy I have a iTunes Card Code absolutely free! I got it at http://linkbitty.com/freeitunes2014

  • How do I move both my contents and playlists to my new computer?

    How do I move both my contents and playlists to my new computer?  I have tried the suggestions in previous posts of copying the library and music folders into the itunes folder on my new pc.  I don't have the option to file>library>import anything.  The only thing that transfers, even on home sharing is purchased music.  No music loaded from CD's and no playlists.

  • My new Ipod touch will not sync movies and tv shows from Itunes

    When I try to transfer movies and tv shows I bought from Itunes I get the message saying that my device is not compatible.
    I have been on the phone to Itune support for about 30hours++ . I have been reissued a new Ipod touch but this problem is reoccuring.
    I registered my new Ipod touch under another account but I have activated home sharing on my computer.
    Can anyone suggest anything that Apple support cannot solve Thanks

    What happens when you try to connect to the Wi-Fi? Any error messages? Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, work through the remaining troubleshooting suggestions in this Apple support document.

  • Can "New" Corner Banner Be Removed From Movies and TV Shows?

    After loading 7 seasons of The Big Bang Theory on iTunes 11, I see that iTunes has now slapped a Blue "New" banner on the upper right corner of all my new season titles of The Big Bang Theory (see attached photo) …. and I also see that after loading the TV Shows to my iPhone, that now the iPhone TVShow listing has a little blur indicator, showing the number of "New" episodes in each season.
    The question is …. is there any way to eliminate the iTunes Blue "New" banner, thus also eliminating the blue oval notices on my iPhone as well?

    I am not sure how to do that. I have it only in itunes at present. Can I access it other ways?
    You burn them as you would any other data file on your computer. I'm using a different OS version than you so specifics probably won't help. Therei's probably a way in finder to create a burn folder, add items to it, then burn them to disc.
    Also - how do I burn movies and tv shows onto disc to watch on a dvd player in our lounge room? help please
    Niel answered this one already. You can't. They are protected against being played any other way than Apple approves.

  • Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. In lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

    Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. The keywords are in lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.

    I actually found under  EDIT then Catalog settings / then metadata that the automatic write changes to XMP had been unchecked. Once I check this, it updated and connected all the keywords to the pictures. Now when I copy and paste the keywords show up as I can now detect them in Adobe bridge when before I couldn't see them even though they were in lightroom. . Thanks for your input.

    I am trying to move my library and playlists to a new computer by burning to CD's. However, I followed the directions by going to File and then Library - then they said to go to burn CD(s) - I DO NOT have that option for some reason. How do I do this? I have done the library sharing thing but I am getting rid of my primary computer and am afraid I will lose the library.

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.
    Regards

  • How can I move my catalog and pictures to a new computer?

    I'm using PSE 6 under XP.  I want to install PSE 8 on a new Win 7 computer.  How can I move all my pictures and my currnet catalog to the new computer?
    Thanks,

    Install PSE 8 on the old computer and convert your catalog to PSE 8 format there.  Then use the backup/restore method in PSE 8 to move the catalog and photos to the new computer.  See these FAQs for details:

  • How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?

    How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4?  And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?
    My 3GS is dying and it's synced to an older computer.  I have tons of datafiles as well as apps, music, text messages, etc. that I need to get moved to the new iphone4 I'm getting.  Then I need to move the sync to a newer computer so that I can sync the new phone and new computer.
    I understand how to get my apps to transfer to a new pc.  That's not the issue.  It's getting ALL the data from the 3GS to the 4 and then to a new computer.
    Thanks.

    Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone).  Very clear. 
    However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer.  How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up?
