ITunes For Mac :: Transfer Huge Library Of Non-iTunes Songs To PC?
Jun 1, 2014
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 have a newish mac with everything transferred from the old. I attempted to transfer some new songs I just purchased to my iphone by manual transfer but I get the message: The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library. Its the same itunes library transferred onto this mac so i dont understand?

I transferred all my itunes library to an external hard drive.I had all my songs in itunes and then went to "preferences" and set itunes to look on my external hard drive for my itunes. Then I went to "library" and then "consolidate", and it moved all my library over to my external. I can verify that my songs are all there on my externalHowever, now, itunes won't play any songs of mine. I double click on the song in itunes and it just wont play. There's no error message, there's no exclamation point, it just won't play. Any idea what is goign on? Preferences still shows that my library is directing to the external

I have 2 macs with two completely independent iTunes databases. They are used for differnt purposes and contain different music. I really do not want to merge these two databases.
From time to time I need to selectively transfer some few songs from the one computer to the other one. Is there a clever way I can achieve this? I would like to transfer the files including the metadata.

I bought music on a PC a long time ago (in 2005 maybe?) and got a new Macbook, did the purchased songs redownloading thing, but wasn't able to get those old songs, so I checked my purchased history and it said that the oldest song I bought was in 2008. Or at least tell me what the apple support email adress is?

I'm having problems with songs I've loaded into iTunes not appearing in my library, even though they're on the hard drive, and properly filed in the iTunes folder.
I ripped all of my Beatles CDs a couple years ago, and now that I'm looking at them again, certain tracks are missing when I search under album, title, or artist.
Strangely enough, they ARE on the hard-drive, properly organized in the iTunes folder.
Even more strangely, when I try to drag the file into iTunes again, it STILL won't appear, though it WILL play. However, even when it plays, the library still does not show that the song exists. Do I now have to somehow rebuild the library? It seems like that's what's called for.

I'm trying to transfer some songs from my friend's band onto my friend's iPod. However iTunes just opens up a window saying that I can either "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases From Another iPod". Is there a way to just open iTunes up and transfer my music to the other iPod?

I need to transfer my itunes to my new macbook pro. I have no access to my old PC, therefore the only access to my itunes is my phone. I have my purchased files transferred, but can't transfer "non-apple" purchases. I spoke to customer service, and he recommended dowloading a software to help.
Info:
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011)

When I import songs from a CD, the songs are not appearing under Music in iTunes.
The track info is properly displayed for the mounted CD itself and the songs are correctly imported (green checkboxes appear, the MP3 files are placed in the correct folder under "Music/iTunes/iTunes Music", and the MP3 files are playable in Quicktime).
Details:
iTunes 10.0.1
Import settings: MP3 encoder, high quality (160kbps), use error correction
Mac OS X 10.6.4
MacBook Pro

My total Itunes library contains about 55 Gb according to Itunes. However when checking in the finder, my Itunes folder is about 74 Gb. is this normal? or did I not import everything properly? however, each song I randomly check is in my music folder as in Itunes. Where are those 19 gb's?

I have an iPhone and 8000 songs in mp3 files. I had the iPhone perfectly syncronized with iTunes in a Windows XP PC but i decided to buy both a new PC and a Macbook, so i saved ALL the 8000 song in several DVDs to backup them.
Unfortunately I had to re-syncronize my iPhone with the new computer (this time i used the mac with Leopard, iTunes 8).
First I copied the music (all the 8000 songs) to the HD on my Macbook. Then I opened iTunes and added the whole directory but ONLY 5000 SONGS WERE ADDED! I tried to manually drag the songs missing...but iTunes doesn't add them either.
I believed this was a problem with the Mac, so I sincronized my iPhone with the PC (Windows Vista, itunes 8.0) and when I tried to add the same songs (previously copied to the HD) ITUNES ADDED JUST 5000 SONGS AGAIN!
Then I tought that the problem were the mp3 files (bad burned) so i tried adding them to Windows Media Player and MusikCube, and all the 8000 songs were added without a problem!!

I'm trying to upgrade my iPad one to the 5OS. When I try to sync a message comes up that says you haven't uploaded your purchased songs to your iTunes library. I don't want to lose any tunes so how do I find my purchased songs and sync with my library? I thought every time I synced that they go to my library automatically .
