TS2972 How do you move your music within itunes from your regular library to the homeshares library so that you can import it to your new computer?

How do you move your music within itunes from your regular library to the homeshares library so that you can import it to your new computer?

You do not have to move it as such. Here are the steps to setup HomeSharing
1) Ctrl B to turn on the top menu
2) File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share enter your apple id and password, click create
3) repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other computer and create home share using the same apple id and password
On your new machine if you have turned on the left hand sidebar the Shared Library should be about halfway down like this.
Select the songs you want and click import at the bottom right. If you want all songs then I would select one song nad Ctrl A to select all
Finally if you have a lot of songs to transfer Switch off the wifi on the old computer. Leave the wifi on the new one. Connect with an ehternet network cable. The copying speed is way faster.
Click import and grab a coffee

    Are you talking about a Bootcamp partition? You can't boot Windows from an external drive.

  • I purchased Adobe Acrobat Professional and have been trying to activate it for some time.  I also had this same program on my previous computer.  How do I de-activate it from that computer so that I can activate it on my new computer?

    Hi larrygoynes,
    To transfer the license from one pc to another the step you have to follow is to 'Deactivate' the license first from the older machine.
    To accomplish this you need to Launch Acrobat, go to the 'Help' menu and select 'Deactivate'
    On the new machine you can install Acrobat and then use the serial number to 'Activate' the software and this will complete the license transfer.
    You can refer the KB Doc: Activation & Deactivation Help

  • Can't get Netflix to recognize an iTunes purchase keeps coming us with "the credit card information that you entered does not appear to be valid

    Can't get Netflix to recognize an iTunes purchase keeps coming us with "the credit card information that you entered does not appear to be valid'? Netflix says not them?

    The message you received indicates that the phone is locked to a carrier other than the one for which you have a SIM. You'll need to take the issue up with Apple. Nothing you do with iTunes is going to make a difference. 
    I'm quite surprised that the UK Apple Store replaced a U.S. purchased phone. They usually won't.
    Best of luck.

  • How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read below that you can't. Really? Is that correct?

    How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read that you can't. Really? Is that true?

    You can delete photo stream photos from iCloud by just deleting them on your iPod.  My photo stream photos are automatically deleted from iCloud after 30 days anyway.  Just so you are aware, deleting photo stream photos doesn't free up any space in your account as they don't use your personal iCloud account storage.
    You can't delete music from iCloud because the music isn't stored in your account; it's stored in the iTunes store.  What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased music in the iTuens store, allowing you to redownload them if you want to.  You can't remove anything from your list of previous purchases.  If you don't want to see these "iTunes in the Cloud" purchases in your song list, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn off Music under Show All.  LIke photo stream photos, this music doesn't use any of your personal iCloud account storage.

  • HT1296 how do I transfer my music in itunes from my macBook to my new iPad?

    I have a new ipad an I am trying to transfer my music in itunes to it and having no luck. I need help with this

    I copied this from the iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod kb article. It may help to see the screenshots which are on the website, but I did not copy here. The website is posted at the bottom of my response.
    This applies to the iPod, iPhone or iPad. If you are using iTunes 11 - enable the sidebar by going to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top.
    If you want iTunes to update your music, videos, or podcasts whenever you connect your device, sync automatically. Whenever iTunes is open and your device is connected using the USB to Dock Connector cable, iTunes will sync.
    Syncing music
    Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
    Select your your iPod in the Devices section on the left side of the iTunes window.
    In the main iTunes browser window, select Music.
    Select the option to Sync Music. You may also select "Include Music videos" if you would like to sync Music videos to a device.
    Your device will need to have enough free space to sync the content that you have selected from your library.
    Tip: You can use the capacity bar at the bottom of the device-settings window to determine how much free space is available. You can determine content size by selecting it and looking at the bottom of the iTunes window.
    Click Apply and iTunes will begin syncing the audio content you've selected to your device. The iTunes LCD will display the sync progress and notify you when the sync is complete.
    To disconnect your device, select it under Devices and click the eject icon next to it.

    How do I move/copy music (a playlist) from iTunes to my USB stick, so that i can play it on my Media Center?

    Are you using Finder to try and transfer, or are you using iTunes?
    Using Finder should yield no "Decoder" error.

    Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
    Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
    To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347
