Where can I find current information for ver 12 on moving my Itunes library from old to new computer.

I am trying to move my Itunes from Windows 7 Computer to a New Windows 7 Computer. None of the online information post seem to show how to do this with the newest ver of Itunes.
In addtion after it does get moved how to deal with associating my Iphone 5 and Ipad to new computer library.

The process is the same for iTunes 12 as it was for previous versions.  Note that some of the "guidance" available online describes how to move your media from one computer to another without replicating the complete library structure and content.  Doing the latter is essential if you want to preserve playlists, ratings, play counts, etc.
As long as your library is in the standard structure (typically under C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes), with all your media contained within the iTunes Media folder in a structure like this:
you can copy the complete iTunes folder from your old computer to the equivalent location on the new one.  Then, to make sure you're connecting to the right iTunes library database, hold down SHIFT when you start iTunes on the new computer and when you see this prompt:
click on Choose Library..., navigate to the iTunes folder you just copied, select the iTunes Library.itl folder you'll find there, and click Open.
If your library is not structured as above - and particularly if some or all of your media is not contained in the iTunes Media folder - see turingtest2's user tip on Make a split library portable for the steps that will modify the layout of your library to make it so.
This method results in a complete replica of the library that was on your old computer on the new one - this means that your iDevices will sync correctly on the new machine without having to make any further changes,

  • I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

    Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

    I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
    iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
    However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
    To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
    However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes, 
    Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound  from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

  • What is the best method for moving iTune Libraries from Old to New Computer

    Hello,
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you may offer.
    My Sony Vaio Desktop recently died and untimely death, so I just purchased an HP Notebook. I was trying to wait out the release of the possible update of the Macbook line. However the old computer didn't agree. This HP will tie me over till a new release.
    I've been doing weekly backups for over 3 years with a backup drive from Western Digital. At this point I just want to transfer my music in iTunes and applications from the App store that are loaded on to my iPod Touch into the new computer and then reauthorize and sync.
    My question is what's the best method. Oh another problem I'm having includes the latest iPhone & iPod Touch software problem of 3rd party apps not working along with the vanishing of my music on the Touch.
    Any guidance would be much appreciated.

    Open up a fresh copy of iTunes. Point iTunes in the direction of your Western Digital Harddrive. Import Folders.
    1. New Copy
    2. Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Change -> <the address of the iTunes library on WD>
    3. File -> Add Folder to Library -> <Select iTunes folder on WD>
    Always keep a backup of your iTunes Library file and the iTunes XML Document. If you have those, then it might be just as simple as copying those to your iTunes file folder. If you are not sure where they are, then do a search for iTunes.xml.

    Could you please let me know if you are using subscription or bought Acrobat as a one-time purchase.
    If its a subscription, then all you need is to sign in at adobe.com using your Adobe credentials and download the software.
    Otherwise, you might refer the KB doc link mentioned below to find your serial number:

  • Where can I find the manual for my Mac OS?

    ver. 10.7.3: 2.4 GHz core 2 Duo with 4 GB of DRAM.
    I have three questions:
    1. Where can I find the manual for my machine i.e. hardware manual and or consumer/connaisseur manual?
    2. Does it have a zip media drive? I'm looking at the left side of the machine and I see small square shaped slot for a disk of this sort. I know this is a common type of media storage for cameras and would like to confirm that it is zip.
    3. And while i'm at it, could you remind me of the uses of the two ports advancing towards the back of the computer next to the USB inputs.
    PS: I'm also interested in any technical information concerning Apple hardware and if you could direct me to the appropriate forums I would appreciate it.
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely
    Shawn

    I will dubb the theme of this thread: the mass storage data problem and by problem I mean how can we store data in the most cost-efficient and efficacious manor possible if we can classify data storage strategies into two groups respectively: 1) the individual stragegy and 2) the corporate stragegy. The individual, we will say, is rational and seeks to store as much data as possible in the megabyte range, the gigabyte range and the terabyte range. How will he or the corporation, of conglomerate, large, mid-size or start-up size i.e. 2 - 200 people procede. Please feel free to enhance the dialog of this post in the framework of the corporate schema vs. individual and change the estimations, exp: 2 -200, to fit a realistic scenario of what i'm trying to evoke here.
    I'll start of with
    MB range = 4 GB Lexar standard USB bought at Dwain Reed (note: this is just a starting point to provoke dialog and don't intend this as a suggestion)
    GB range = the portable hard drive at the suggestion of Michael Black of NC
    TB range = tape media, at my suggestion that older devices could be used to read the data where an external hard-drive could be used as an intermediary component to transfer data to newer devices, say the portable hard-drive of Mr. Black and an internal-hard drive which is standard in an older machine. We will say that the labor/work required to remove either is irrelevant as our time is assumed to be worthless within reasonable bounds.

    Where can I find Photoshop CS6 for download?

    Thank you for the update.  I currently have Photoshop CS4.  I plan to update to CS6.  Unfortunately Adobe sales is closed on the weekend.  I plan to purchase the upgrade on Monday assuming that is possible.  In the meantime, I was going to download CS6 just to save time.

  • Where can I find detailed information on wiring my Switch Device?

    I am using a PXI-4071 High Voltage FlexDMM with a PXI-2584 High Voltage Mux.  The topology is 12x1 1-wire.  Where can I find better information on how to wire this particular device.  I used an example from LV to develop the code, and I can hear the mux switches activating, but I get no readings back.

    Okay, I wasn't expecting to see it wired that way, however, based on the manual, the ref is connected to ref, so that could be the common ground for all the signals.  The scan list only has com0; as an output.  I would expect to see com1 as the output for ch6->ch11.
    Also, I'm not exactly sure how the scanlist works.  Is there a way you could manually set the switches with MAX to test?  The default power on state is all open, so if you close only ch0, then you should see CH0 on the COM0.  Do you have a voltmeter to check voltage and/or continuity?
    I would check continuity between DMM- and GND on the UUT.  Then, with the ch0 switch closed, I would check continuity between CH0 on the UUT and DMM+.
    I believe the enclosed VI will set the switch to ch0 closed. (after you set the resource to what the resource is on the machine you are using)
    Good Luck.

    where i can find all the detail info..

    Regards
    Smitha

    Hi:
    For documentation, you have to find it out in se37 but it is not neccessary every Fm would have.
    Now question is about its used (if you know th e function module)-> go in se37-> put function module -> select where used list -> select used in like - program, class, BSP application etc -> click on ok; it would give the list of its used and just go in that find  how it is being used.
    if you have to find the function module for table - > go in se11 -> select table name -> click on where used list -> select function module  interface and click on ok, it would give the list of  its used.
    Otherwise go in g o o g l e dot  c o  m.
    Regards

  • New MacBookPro. Where can I find a driver for my Microtek Scanmaker 3600

    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro (10.6.8) but to date, haven't been able to find any software/driver to use for my scanner, including the Microtek site. I have a Microtek Scanmaker 3600 that still works perfectly. I have searched forums and online sites for software to use the scanner on the new laptop and hate to think I need to buy a new scanner when the 3600 works fine. I have an HP Deskjet 930C and was able to find the software/driver to use on the new laptop. Does anyone know where I can find the software/driver to get my scanner to work?
    Where can I find a driver for my Microtek Scanmaker 3600. Tried VueScan and TwainSane without success. Do not want to buy a new scanner when old one runs great. Please Help?
    Thanks!

    Thank you for the response.
    I downloaded it and it keeps telling me "No Scanner Detected." I looked on their website under supported scanners, found my Microtek ScanMaker 3600 and it says "NO" for Mac.
    http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/microtek_scanmaker_3600.html
    I just sent an email to them asking if VueScan does support a my scanner. I hope it does. I have been searching but am not proficient or know enough of what to look for. I just don't want to have to buy another scanner.

    You will still need your SN. As long as you registered, you can just add a tab in your browser and go to Adobe.com. In the upper right corner there should be a welcome with your name. Move to the small down arrow and select My Products and Services. That should give you your SN of the products that have been registered. Please make a backup of your download and SN for the future. If you had an upgrade version, you will also need the SN of the qualifying product.

  • Where can I find iPhoto download for OS 10.9

    Where can I find iPhoto download for OS 10.9 on a Mac Book Air

    reinstall from the original source
    Could be
    1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
    or
    2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
    or
    3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first
