What is the best way to move my iTunes from my old to my new PC?

I have a new iMac and I want to transfer all my iTunes from my old Windows PC to my iMac.  Any tips?
Paul C.

Thanks Mr Gnome.  Moved files across OK on a portable hard drive.  Follow-up question.  I have transferred the music and apps OK, but the playlists on my PC dont seem to have transferred.  Is there a way of copying playlists across?

    I assume you mean the media and playlists, not the iTunes application.

  • What is the best way to move Lightroom 3 from my old ssd to my new ssd?

    I recently installed a new and larger ssd on my computer.  When I attempted to clone my old ssd, it corrupted my old windows 7 on the original ssd and left me with a blue screen version on my new ssd.  So after reformatting the new ssd and completing a clean install of windows 8 I am ready to move my lightroom 3 over.  I want to do this without losing all my work on my photos and I am not enthused with cloning my old ssd as it did not work and left me with days of frustration.  Please help with the best way to accomplish this.
    Thanks,
    Dan Rafferty

    Install Lr 3 to your new SSD using the original cd.
    You can also downlad version 3.6 from here: Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows
    Then copy your catalog, previews, and images over from the old disk, and make sure everything goes to the same location as on the old disk.

  • What is the best way to move all information from LR 3 to a new computer with LR 5

    I want to move all the information (photo folder connections, metadata, tags, collections, etc) from LR 3 on my MacBook Pro to my new iMac LR5. My photo folders are on an external hard drive so I won't be changing the location of them per se

    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.

    What's the best way to move my contacts from my current iPhone5 to another iPhone?

    Use iCloud. First, on your iPhone, open Settings > iCloud, and enable Contacts, so your contacts will appear on all your devices logged in iCloud.
    Then, on the other iPhone, open Settings > iCloud, log in with your Apple ID and enable Contacts, so they will show up on this phone.

  • What is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac?

    what is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac? I don't have a time capsule, so I cannot use time machine.
    thanks

    Your best bet by far is to use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up to transfer directly from the old one. 
    It's similar to Migration Assistant, but doing it that way will avoid having an extra user account.
    Either way, you can connect them via FireWire, Thunderbolt, or your network, but avoid wireless if at all possible.  You can connect both to your netwrork via Ethernet, or put a single cable between the two. 
    See Using Setup Assistant on Mountain Lion or Lion for details.

  • What is the best way to switch to Thunderbird from Incredimail (old emails and address book)?

    I'm feeling trapped in Incredimail. What is the best way to move over to Thunderbird? I'd like to keep my old emails, attachments and the address book as well. Is this possible?
    I've seen the program "PCVARE IncrediMail Converter" at www.pcvare.com/incredimail-converter.html#dl.
    Isn't there a better way (and free) to get out and away from the Incredimail trap?

    Bonjour,
    Open the address book window of TB. By the menu Tools / Import you can discover the possibilities and files formats accepted by TB for importing.
    I don't know Incredimail, explore the menus of Incredimail to find how you can export data.

  • HT1751 What is the best way to move my iTunes library from an external PC drive to a Mac external drive?

    I just make the move to Mac computers.  My iTunes library is currently on a PC formatted external drive.  I would like to move it to an external drive that i have formatted for Mac.  What is the best way to do this?

    Is the entire library on the external drive or just the media folder? If it is the latter, and you still have access to the PC then see make a split library portable.
    If the drive is in FAT32 format you can connect a portable library directly to the Mac, holding down Option as you start iTunes. Otherwise you either need to copy it to a local drive (Mac should be able to read NTFS) or install a full service NTFS driver so that the library can be read and updated.

  • What's the best way to move a project from my hard drive to someone else's hard drive?

    I've read lots of related discussions concerning problems after copying/importing/whatever, so I want to avoid those.  I have worked on a project since its inception.  It is currently in RoboHelp 8 HTML with several dozen LINKED Word documents and a couple of PDFs.Someone else is about to take over maintenance.  What's the recommended sequence, please?

    Assuming the project is not under any form of source control, simply copy the source to a shared drive and let your colleague know when it is available. Just make sure they copy it to a local drive before they edit anything.

  • What is the Best Way To Move Lightroom Images from Drive "D" to Drive "C"

    I just built a new computer, I had all light room images in my drive "D".
    On my new computer I have one large drive, and I want to move everything to the "C" Drive
    and use 'RAID 1" to back up the whole system.
    So,, How do I move the images over and keep everything intact?
    Thanks,

    Well, RAID-1 isn't quite the same as a backup, but it is close.
    Personally I would (and do) have my C: drive just be for the OS. And
    my pictures/catalogs are on separate RAID-1 drive(s).
    So,, How do I move the images over and keep everything intact?
    Depends. If you start LR, and open your old catalog, all your photos
    will be missing (have the "?" on them, since the location changed).
    You'd have to right-click on the "?", and "Locate" the files, in their
    new location.

  • What's the best way to move photo folders from internal to external HD using LR to track change?

    I am trying to move my photo folders from Pictures on an iMac running Mavericks to an external HD as my main photo storage and to do so with LR 5.6 keeping track of the folders. I have 20K plus photos in the Catalog in the iMac's HD and wouldn't want LR to loose track of the photos. I am not creating duplicates but moving all the files w/original photos and edits.
    Is there a good and safe method to use LR to perform this task?

    In your operating system, move the photos to the external HD, keeping the folder structure unchanged, and then in Lightroom reconnect using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • What's the best way to move a project from one HD to another?

    I have a movie I've been working on for 2 years.  The entire project is on an external hard drive.  I recently got a new macbook pro and would like to take the project off of the external hard drive and move it to my macbook pro hard drive (my external is starting to act a little goofy and I want to rescue my project until I can get a new one). 
    There is tons of media for my project.  I've read that using media manager is an option.  I tried this but am having difficulty locating all of the media to reconnect once I do, but all the media should be in the same place, so I can't figure out why I can't find a lot of it to reconnect. 
    Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?  None of the media is offline when I open the project from my external HD.  If you know a better method than media manager, please share.  I've never had to execute this kind of proceedure before so it's new to me.  Thank you.

         The files will be eating up all your disc space and affecting performance. Setting the Scratch disc only comes into affect if you are capturing files from video sources via video cards or firewire/thunderbolt connections. The scratch disc records the video as data. The scratch disk needs to be robust enough to capture at a high data rate to capture uncompressed video in HighDef or Standard Def. This usually requires a RAID drive. If you never capture uncompressed video via a video card (AJA Kona/Blackmagic/Avid Mojo), you can set your root drive as the scratch disc. The problem there is it will hog up disc space. That is why most editors use an external drive to be the scratch disc.
