I have iTunes installed on the Mac....I just need to figure out how to get all the music from the pc to the Mac. I've been running iTunes on my pc since the very first version for Windows.

I checked all the home sharing setting on the mac and on the ipad, restarted everything, to no avail! My apple tv works fine! I recently updated my OS on the iMac to 10.7.4, would this cause the issue? I am running 5.1.1 on the ipad.

I have an iMac that is rapidly filling up. I would like to move my iTunes and iPhoto library to my external harddrive (I currently use for Time Machine). Is this possible or even adviseable? If I were to do this, what would I need to do. Is it as simple as moving the folders that hold these files on to the external. Would the programs find them.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Windows 7 custom-built PC and I also have an old, first generation Intel iMac from 2006. The iMac was running only Windows XP. The reason for that was that the screen of the iMac got cracked. I connected another monitor using mini-DVI connector and installed XP on the thing while I still could see certain things behind the broken screen. The reason I chose Windows was because in the Windows Intel Graphics Configurator program I had the ability to disable the main iMac screen and use the attached display as the main one. I did not have such option in OS X. I could select the attached display as the main one but could not shut down the iMac screen.
Anyway, it has been a year since then. Today my Windows OS on the iMac became corrupted. But, of course.. I cannot see what the error message says during boot because the iMac screen is broken completely now. The attached display only turns on when fully booted into Windows. So, I cannot reinstall Windows.. I cannot do anything. There were some important files on the iMac which I want to recover. I have SATA to USB controller which I used before on my computers but, from what I understand, these iMacs have laptop hard drives with different connectors. Can someone please guide me to a specific controller which I could use to connect the iMac HD to my Windows PC and transfer the files? I would be very, very thankful. My iMac is a late 2006 17'' model with 150GB hard drive.

I had a crash on my HP laptop and had to re-install windows XP on it. I have also installed again Itunes on the laptop.
Question: Is there a way to transfer the contents of the many songs from Itunes Desktop (all from my own CD's) to the laptop?
I have a Macbook with about 5,000 songs on it, all of which are burned from actual hard copies of CDs that I own. Rather than re-burning each CD to my new Windows computer, I would like to see if there's a way to transfer all these songs from Mac to PC using an external hard drive.
The real question is how can I format my external hard drive to be recognized on both a Macbook running Snow Leopard and a PC running Windows 7?

I am a long time PC user, and my girlfriend has just recently bought me a Macbook Pro. . So being a Pc user my entire life, i, of course have iTunes on my PC. My question is there any way to transfer my itunes library to my new Macbook Pro? Or is my only choice to do it with a Flash Drive?
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo a few weeks ago I bought an external hard drive to put all my music (from multiple computers) on, with the plan of making it my itunes library that I would then only access from my macbook pro. Everything was working great. I got all the songs onto my macbook pro, and then began consolidating my library to the external hard drive. My plan was then to go into my macbook pro after everything had been transferred over to the external hard drive, and delete everything in my music folder to free up space.
Well, during the consolidation we must have had a power failure or something, because the computer shut down and thus stopped the transfer. Now, itunes is looking to my external drive for my music (some of which is there), but since the transfer stopped at some point before it was complete, there are a bunch of songs that didnt move, and therefore it can't "find". I havent deleted any of the stuff from my macbook pro music folder, so everything is still all there, but it is not looking there for my music.
I'm thinking of completely uninstalling itunes, reinstalling it, directing it to my macbook pro music folder (which in theory still has all my stuff) and then reconsolidating to the external hard drive.
I understand how to move the whole library onto an external HD, moving the media folder location on itunes preferences etc, but say i wanted to move the library (which is about 60 gigs) to my external HD but keep about 10 gigs on my internal drive? How do I do this, assuming the amount i want to keep is too large to manually drag and drop each song/album fro my external drive onto my internal one.
Also my itunes says my library is about 52 gigs, but in finder it says my songs are about 65 gigs, why is this and how can i delete the extra gigs? I'm in Home/Music/Itunes/Itunes Music incase thats the wrong location.
My cousin is trying to move her library from her desktop PC to her laptop PC. She used the itunes backup tool to transfer her library. She authorized her laptop to play her itunes store music and videos, but if she tries to play one of those protected files on the laptop it says she is not authorized to play it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two separate iTunes libraries, saved on an external hard drive, from two Macs that no longer work. These libraries are completely different from one another and I also still have both of their Library.xml files saved.
I want to finally bring these two iTunes libraries and upload them into my current Mac's iTunes library, however, I also want to retain the metadata (play count, ratings, etc.) from them. All the information I've come across only shows how to do so with ONE previous iTunes library and importing it into your new Mac with an empty iTunes library. Would this even be remotely possible or will I just have to bring them over as new files into my current existing library with no metadata?

I have just bought a new macbook pro and im looking to transfer my itunes libary (all movies, podcasts, songs, etc), from my old macbook air to my new macbook pro. I will be selling my macbook air, so I dont think the home sharing would work - however, Im not too sure how this works - if the home share is initially done, does it then save all the data to the new computer ?
1) can I save the itunes library file to my time capsule then install the itunes library to my new MBP from time capsule?
2) or can it be done between laptop to laptop? I dont want to do a full migration, as I want to start from scratch with my new MBP - there is a lot of data on my Air that i dont want.

A couple of years ago, I purchased my first MAC OS X 10.7.5
I transferred my iTunes library from my old PC to the new MAC. I followed instructions, but I, obviously, screwed up somewhere.
I don't remember what I did and didn't do.
All I know is that, now, half of my library is "connected", meaning the song has a name, an artist, and the album it came from connected.
The other half is not "connected" meaning once you scroll down from the top through all of the connected songs, you will see a listing of tracks/songs. All that is that is there is the track number and title of the song. For example, I can twenty five Track #8's each with a different title.
I would have to listen to the song and add the artist in myself. Once I do this, it will move the file up to the connected songs. However, I have not been able to take the time to find the album it comes from. A lot of these songs are my daughters and I have no clue where they are from.
I have not deleted or trashed anything from my files.
