What is the simplest way of transferring my itunes library from my imac to a new mac book?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen importing songs into iTunes, the software by default is set to copy the music files to the iTunes media folder and convert them to .m4a format. This, of course, results in having two copies of each song after the import is done. Before I disable this option I'd like to know what you think are the pros and cons of having this option enabled/disabled.
View 5 Replies View RelatedYesterday I made a copy of my itunes folder to store on my HD. I have until now stored all iphoto, music, vids folders on external drives in case something went wrong with my imac. Lesson learnt it happened to me as my external drive crashed and I lost it all. To solve the prob, I want copies on both external and the imac HD.
Now when I open itunes...everythign has gone. Its as if I have a brand new itunes oporating.( I did have the most up to date version before this all happned) I have redirected the path(in preferences) to the new location and checked it both ways with the old and new copies but now none work.
I also went to a randon song in the folder and tried to play it but it would not even play. It as if the path has gone

I currently have my Itunes library on an external hard drive. This hard drive (Maxtor) has been giving me problems. I bought another external hard drive and I want to copy my library onto that. My operating system is Vista. When I hook up the new hard drive can I just do the normal procedure that I used to put the library on the first external hard drive? Is it a totally different procedure?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have my iTunes on my MBP but want to be able to copy it to my Mac Pro. I copied the folder on my local directory/Music/iTunes. It contains many folders such as iTunes Library, iTunes Music Library.xml, etc. I copied that entire folder to my Mac Pro in the same location, local directory/Music/iTunes.
I then opened iTunes. All of my music was there but one issue I have is with Podcasts. I subscribe to many of them but have some set up to only keep one at a time, others to keep all podcasts that I have not listened to, etc. The problem is it just simply downloads all podcasts, not deleting any. It seems some of my preferences aren't being copied. Is there another location that I have to copy some type of prefs from?
I've downloaded a film in I tunes. Can, and if so how, do I copy it to DVD?
View 1 Replies View RelatedTrying to set up his mac with all the stuff on the family mac we've been sycing his iPod Touch to. Music and photos are no problem. I was surprised to learn that through home sharing I can simply copy iOS apps to his mac. I really didn't know this, and bring it up here to pinch myself and see if it is true that I can have the same iOS apps on more than one mac as long as they're all on the same iTunes account. Thing is, the apps only show up under home sharing on his mac in my user account (an administrator account) and not on his account (a non-administrator account). Is it because my account is a administrator account? The iTunes account is the same on both.

My friend recorded a lecture using a microphone attached to his old-model iPod nano. I told him it would be easy to transfer to his computer, a Macbook Air. It was; he attached via USB cable, iTunes detected new voice memos, he said yes please copy the voice memos, and they were copied. Yes! He can now listen to the lecture on his MB Air. But... Now he wants me to listen to the lecture as I drive around with my iPhone 4. I thought this would be easy: attach my iPhone to his Air, open iTunes, and tell iTunes to put the lecture on my iPhone. But... It won't copy! When I try to drag the lecture from the main list in iTunes onto my iPhone in the source list, it always snaps back. There is no error message; it just "won't go". There are no copyright issues; it's a recording he made himself from a college lecture.
I thought maybe the issue was that the file was in WAV format. (I don't know if this is always the case, or if that was the format used natively for Voice Memos on his old-model iPod Nano.) I told iTunes to create an AAC version, which it promptly did. But that, too, will not drag-and-drop onto my iPhone. There are zillions of programs to copy from an iPhone or iPod onto a Mac, but how do I go the other way?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have lost my harddrive which contains a vast amount of music I've been collecting for many years. I just purchased a new Mac, but I've reached my activation limit. And I only have access to 2 of the 5 activated computers. My old music can still be played on my iPod, but I need to set up another account on my new Mac. What will happen to my music if I were to deactivate all of activated computers?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy iTunes Library is too large and taking up too much of my iMac's 1Tb HD. The iTunes Library is currently at 381 GB. Along with a healthy music collections, I have a ton of video files. I recently tried to import more video files and I got a message that there was not enough room on the hard drive.
I have read up on how to copy the itunes library to an external hard drive, and although time consuming sounds pretty easy. However I have a few concerns about 'MOVING' the itunes library. Essentially copying it to the new external hard drive and then deleting the old library on my iMac's HD. If I do that will I have issues with:
1. Using iTunes playing songs, video etc. Will it have difficulty locating it's new location because it is no longer on the 'local' HD? Or if it works ok, will it be really slow?
2. Will my 2 Apple TV's not be able to stream the content?
3. Will my Time Machine backups automatically include contents of the new external HD? I am assuming not.
OR is it just plain easier to leave the iTunes library on the local iMac HD and delete music and video not currently being used? ie; add it into iTunes when I want it, and delete it when I don't?

I now want to wipe everything off my iMac and copy my macbook across to my iMac, so it becomes my master computer. Basically I need to free up some memory and use the desktop to control my home AV requirements (itunes, iphoto etc).

I recently upgraded from iMac OS 10.4.11 to OS 10.6 and transferred my iTune songs to my new computer--Intel Core 2 Duo. Now, I have 8,870 songs in one big list. I can play them, but I also want to make them into albums. Is there some way to do that instead of adding a new album title in the playlist and then copying songs from the music list those songs that belong in that particular album title?
