I have moved my iTunes library from an old PC to my new one running on Windows 8. All play normally apart from two albums: Songwriter by Justin Hayward and The Roaring Silence by Manfred Man''s Earth Band. The FAQ suggestions don't resolve the problem.

Honestly, all the people in all the world that look at this forum, no-one can tell me why my itunes is causing my machine to fall over?
I wiped the machine and started again. Fresh XP install, fresh iTune download, fired it up imported one album and bang. Over it went. I've PC Checked the hard ware, mad onioned the system to see if it's a resource thing but it's rock solid until i open iTunes. Then after every re-boot, the message is back in the event log.

Switched songs from my old (broken) to my new one- now my songs won't play

I was able to transfer my music from my old laptop to my new one using my ipod, but the music won't play - it says "the song _ could not be used because the original file could not be found." I have over 1000 songs, I can not afford to start over, I am frustrated - everyone I have talked to says forget it and that this is how apple scams people.

Hi gingerfrombaldwin,
If you are looking for more information on transferring playlists in iTunes between an old computer and a new computer, you may find the following article helpful, in particular this portion:
Transferring playlists
If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library> Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.

How do I install my cookies, passwords & permissions from my old PC onto my new one running Firefox 4.0.1

I am migrating from my old XP PC to a new Windows 7 PC running Firefox 4.0.1.
I have managed (I think) to copy my cookies, passwords & permissions (i.e. cookies.sqlite, key3.db, etc) via an external HDD to the new PC and copied them into the Firefox profile on the new PC.
However when I launch a cookie dependent site,the cookie data does not appear.
How can I copy the data in successfully?
Many thanks

Easiest I've found and used is MozBackup: http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/download.php
Download it, make a backup of your 4.0.1 then email the resulting .pcv file to yourself and save it to an easy to find spot, usually the desktop. Install MozBackup on the new computer, restore using the .pcv file you emailed to yourself.

I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone. The iPhone only accepts transfers from the original iTunes PC.

I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone 4S. The iPhone will only accept music transfers from the original iTunes PC. I have come to understand that an iPhone can have only one "daddy" iTunes PC, but have not been able to find out how to change the "daddy". I have done a backup of the iPhone, and a "Restore to Original Settings". Then I restored the content using the new iTunes PC. My Apps and contacts, etc. are back on the iPhone, but it still won't accept music from the new iTunes PC.

What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

How do I sync my music from my iphone to my mac when I have created a itunes library on my old Hewitt packard computer?
Thought by connecting my phone to computer it would automatically duplicate. Only seems to work with a small amount of music which I downloaded through my mac
Im no expert with computers so need some step by step advice
I have over 1000 songs on my iphone and want to back it up on my mac itunes
Want to upgrade my iphone and dont want to loose my music and ideally want to import it onto my new iphone
Need help?

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

I have a new pc. If I copy the Itunes folder from my old pc onto my new one in the music folder will I be able to sync just as if it were the old one? This is from a Widows Vista machine to Windows 7.

I suspect design rather than a bug, it's too useful. The behaviour seems to have been consistent for quite a long time on both Windows and Mac machines...
Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
In the layout above right, with the media folder (everything in the red box) inside the library folder, the library will be portable. A portable library can be moved from one path to another, or even between Windows & Mac computers, without breaking the links between the library and the media, and being self-contained is much easier to backup (You do backup, don't you?). Anything that isn't stored inside the media folder must stay put or be restored to precisely the same path on a new machine or iTunes won't know where to find it. Within the media folder the relative paths from the library to the media remain unchanged and iTunes can cope even when the absolute paths are updated.
Should your library not be in the usual layout I've written some general posts on how to make a split library portable or I can give specific instructions on request.

HT4527 I have successfully transferred my iTunes folder from an old pc to my new one. How do I now make this new computer the main synchronising computer for my iPad. Thank you.

I have successfully transferred my iTunes from my old computer to a new one just brought. However when I tried to synchronise my iPad to new computer I had a message that said there was an upgrade available which I said I would like to proceed with. However I then had a message that said I would lose all my apps etc if I did this and that I should use the old computer to do all synching. How do I make the new computer my main computer for synching. Grateful for any help. Sez.

If you migrate your library properly you don't get the wipe & reload problem. If possible revisit your migration, or use the link at the end to associate your device with the new library.
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

I cannot get my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even get google to open. I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer.

I cannot get my iTunes library/music from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even open a browser.I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer. I disconnected my old computer so I will have to reconnect it I am sure. thank you for any help. Last time I transferred I used a product I purchased. That was a long time ago.

First of all make sure that you've definitely backed up the movies to your external hard disc.
In iMovie click on any event you don't want, go to the file menu and select 'move event to trash'. Then do the same for any unwanted projects - 'move project to trash'. Quit out of iMovie and empty the trash.
Hope that helps!

Since this is the second computer you've had this problem with, I recommend you look for answers on the iPhone forum. My thinking is it is an iPhone issue rather than a computer issue (unless it is some software incompatibility).

I accidentally dropped by old ipod in the garage and drove over it. So I bought an ipod nano 7th gen. to replace it. Can I transfer the itunes from my old ipod to my new one? I only have about 30.

AAll of your iTunes purchases can be re-downloaded again. Log into iTunes Store, select the Purchases tab for Apps, Music, etc.
if you've been syncing your old iPod with iTunes, you can restore everything to your new iPod from the old backup.

Home Sharing is option A.

Option B is consolidating the library to an external HD.

Or you can use one of the other 8000 methods. I just prefer these two.
