What are the steps move iTunes from xp to windows 7

I need to move iTunes from xp to a a new windows 7 laptop. My iTunes lib is now on an external hd because of size.
How do I convert.
Do I download a new iTunes and the point to my external hd?
Any tips or help would be appreciated.
Art K

Thanks for your reply.
I went to this page on the Apple Support site: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364
I followed its instructions and it didn't work. I tried it 5 or 6 times and then i took my PC to a shop and they tried it 5 or 6 times which cost me a fortune - and i still can't get it to work.
I've checked my iTunes preferences as you said and it is set to this:
D:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
I've checked both folders and i've noticed both have the same information in them ie: C>USERS>CHRISMAY>MYMUSIC>iTUNES has exactly the same in it as D>MYDOCUMENTS>MYMUSIC>iTUNES - So there's a Library.xml file in each folder and a Library.itl file in each folder and an Album Artwork file in each folder etc etc. So in effect the both iTunes folders have exactly the same files in them apart from the 'iTunes Music' folder which is only located on the D Drive as this is where i want all the music to be stored.
The reason for that was that i could only get iTunes to work with my original library by copying everything from my external back up onto the C Drive. So i don't know if having duplicate folders in both iTunes folders on the C & D drive's will be causing any of the problems or not ??
Is there any chance you know why my iTunes is working on my PC and allowing me to upload music to it but it won't let my 2x iPod's or my iPhone sync with it ? If so are there any solutions i could try before i smash them all up in a fit of rage or all my hair falls out?
Hope you can help................

  • What are the steps if; the disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved

    I'm to install windows XP software, and I can partition the disk.  If state, "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files canot be moved."  What are the steps to complete partition to install windows XP?

    Ok  what happens with Bootcamp is it needs to carve out a contiguous free space at the bottom of your hard drive.
    If it can't do that then it can't make the partition.
    What has happened is there are some files down in closer in the bottom part of the drive, this occurs if you've had a hard drive nearly full, performed a software update, installed programs and then removed some files leaving parts and large empty spaces.
    So what to do to fix this?
    Well your going to have to learn how to clone your OS X boot partition, with all your programs and files to a external drive, which you can then hold the option key and boot from it.
    Then you run Disk Utility from the clone, erase the OS X partition on the internal drive and clone everything right back.
    This will place everything in order, move everything up and nice and compact at the top of the drive, which will allow you to make a BootCamp partition as big as you have room for.
    It will also make your comptuer perform a bit faster too.
    Cloning back and forth is rather safe, because you always have a hold option key bootable clone, either on the internal drive or the external drive, your computer will work from either.
    What you don't want to use is Defrag software, that moves things around while the computer is running and messes things up quite a bit and really doesn't optimize as well or as safely as a clone.
    In fact I just assisted a person who did just that and royally messed up their machine, requiring a complete rebuild of everything.
    So read through this thread of mine and grasp things and you'll be cloning your boot drive in no time.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16276201#16276201
    Remember that cloning can't clone Filevaulted drives or Bootcamp partitions, also it only (at this time) clones the OS X partition, which for Snow Leopard is the whole drive usually (minus Bootcamp partition.)
    However if your on Lion, Carbon Copy Cloner doesn't quite yet clone the hidden Lion Recovery Partition, so when you clone you won't have it on the external drive but the computer will boot off the external drive just fine without it.
    So when you go to erase the Lion internal drive, you need to erase only the OS X Lion Partition not the entire drive before reverse cloning.
    You should make a Lion Recovery USB if you have Lion, as only through Lion Recvoery can you reinstall Lion now. Instrucitons are in my thread.
    The way you can tell if your selecting a partition or a entire drive in Disk Utility is how far left it is.
    The far left are devices and the slightly indented items are partitions or media using that device.
    Good Luck

  • I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
    All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
    Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
    If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
    On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
    Click 'purchased' and there you have it.

  • I have Lightroom 4 and my hard drive is getting too full wiht pictures i have in lightroom. I want to move many to a thumbdrive and delete them from lightroom. what are the steps to perform this please ?

    I have Lightroom 4 and my hard drive is getting too full wiht pictures i have in lightroom. I want to move many to a thumbdrive and delete them from lightroom. what are the steps to perform this please ?

    If you want to be able to view, edit and export from Lightroom you can move the files using your computer OS (explorer or finder) and update the folder location by right-clicking on the folder name in the LR Library. See fig 8 at the attached link:
    http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm
    This will work when the thumb drive is connected.
    If you really have no need to keep these files off-line in LR then simply move the files, select all the thumbnails in the LR Library and hit delete. Then choose remove.

    hi, my name is Laith I'm from Iraq I just want to know what are the steps for buying a new iphone 5 from apple store and how to ship it to Iraq ???? and I would be grateful for you

    Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
    Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones.

  • What are the steps in deleting in add remove to install a clean version of itunes/quicktime?

    what are the steps in deleting in add remove to install a clean version of itunes/quicktime?
    What has to go, in order, like itunes-quicktime-mobile me, or?

    There are two part when installing WebEnt.. The first one is the web server part where it installs the fortecgi.exe or other web server components. This should be installed where the web server is going to be running. This is usually not you development server. The second part is the http library and web designer part. This should be installed on the development server. The http library need to go through a install of its own to make it part of the central environment. After that all the developers will have access to the http library and all they will need to do is install the Web desinger part.
    Hope this helps.

  • Upgrading from 10.4.11 to 10.7. What are the steps and do I also need to pay for 10.5 and 10.6 along the way?

    Hi. I wannt to upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.7.
    What are the steps and do I also need to pay for 10.5 and 10.6 along the way?
    According to the 10.7 lion page on 'store' it says that you need 10.6 to use it does this mean I'm going to have to do 3 upgrades?
    Thanks

    Why do yoy want Lion/10.7???
    Anyway, if your Mac meets the requirements you can skip 10.5.x, and even 10.6.x if you can afford to erase all your data.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they might still have it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory[14]
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading[14]
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

    I would like to uninstall my old CS5 Design Premium from my computer to reinstall it on another computer. What are the steps? Is there something special with the activation codes, etc?

    You are allowed to have two activated installations, so if you prefer to you can keep ut on the current machine and just install it on the new one like you did originally.  If you wish to eliminate it on the other machine, the first thing to do is to deactivate it by opening a program in the suite and selecting Help -> Deactivate in the top toolbar.  That is all you need to do to disable the software.  At this point if you prefer to you can uninstall it if you like.
    As far as getting it on the new nmachine, as I just indicated, just install it like you did the first time.
