How to transfer itunes library from PC from XP to Windows 10 computer laptop

I'm looking for help if there is someone who is able to explain the technical magic to someone who has no idea what she's doing!

I have an old PC with Windows XP and run my iTunes from there, with all my media files on an external hard drive. The iTunes is version 12.0.1.26. I have "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" box checked, as well as box "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library". I bought a laptop with Windows 10 and want to start running iTunes this new portable computer, while keeping the files on the EHD and keep all my playlists, etc. I have all the music files saved on a separate DHM.

I installed the latest version of iTunes on the laptop and was able to recognize that my library, but all the playlists, play counts, a large part of the work, and most importanly, the tick on the side of the track (I have about 55 000 titles there, so I have to uncheck a lot because they won't fit on my iPod) disappeared. I don't want to go through the 55 000 tracks again, so could you is it someone please let me know the best way to make the iTunes on the laptop are similar to what I currently have.

I removed the new version of iTunes from the laptop and tried to open the old version of my EHD, but it won't let me and gives me an error iTunes error Windows error 126 7. I'm guessing that I have not all files necessary for the opening of iTunes on my DHM and some stay in the C drive of my old PC, but I don't know what needs to get through, it is possible to have all the files on the EHD program and open the old version of iTunes on my laptop this way. I took my DHM and reconnect the old PC and it still works very well from there.

I have to say it's all become a bit of a mess over the years, as I tried to move everything related to iTunes, including program files, for my DHM, it would be reasonable to assume that I don't know where all the bits and pieces that need to run iTunes currently are on my old PC and DHM and something seems to be duplicated with similar looking for records in both places, probably as a result do not remove older versions during the upgrade as I should have done. I confirm, however, that my library is in a folder on the EHD.

I can't upgrade to the latest version of iTunes on the old PC, because it doesn't seem to be compatible with XP, and I was unable to download the older version of iTunes on the new laptop (something to do with a difference between 32 and 64 bit, but I didn't have a clue what it meant!).

Ultimately, I want to be able to do is plug my DSE on the new laptop and be able to open iTunes, see everything, as it is currently on my old PC.

Sorry to look like a bit of a novice when it comes to computers, but if someone could help I would be very grateful, because I'm afraid to do something which all mess up!

    Hi, I shot a few photos December 31 night mode RAW Nikon D800 and extreme as well as Sandisk card SDHC 32 GB. Looks like the card got some errors of memory so not able to transfer the files from the card to the computer. However, I am able to view the photos through Lightroom ver 4.4 library, but when I tried to import them, it gives me an error message indicating this file cannot be read.

    If you see the photos in the library module, the photos are already imported. If I there are thumbnails in the import dialog box, that means the jpg display embedded in the Raws are ok, although the raw data itself is corrupted.

    Depending on the context, I'll assume that you are asking how to unload files of songs from an iPod to a computer.  iTunes synchronization is generally in one direction, from iTunes to iPod library. You cannot use iTunes to transfer files of song from iPod to computer (with the exception of songs purchased from the iTunes Store)

    NOTE: Songs purchased from the iTunes Store can be downloaded again free of charge, on the iTunes Store purchased screen.

    Download your purchases past - Apple Support

    However, there are methods and third party utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like 'ipod music transfer', you should get a few links (including a CNET article on the subject).  Once the files of songs from the iPod to your disk, add them to your current iTunes library.

    Further, you should backup your iTunes data.  Apple describes a way to back up your folder full of iTunes on an external drive.

    Manage and backup your iTunes media library - Apple Support

    This method should also be used when switching from an old computer to a new computer.  By transferring or restore your complete iTunes folder, it's the same iTunes library on the new computer, not a new iTunes library with your old songs.  iPods are not designed to be your data from iTunes backup.

  • How to transfer my music from Ipod to i-tunes on my PC without losing songs from iPods?

    How to transfer my music from i-pod3 to PC without losing my music from iPod?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not that a transfer backup device and media has been planned with you keep a master copy of your media on a computer that is in itself independently supported against loss.  To use a device with a different configuration, you pass the old library from a computer or a backup directly in the new configuration, not the device to the library. Synchronization of media isn't a way, computer to the device, update the contents of the device to the content on the computer, update or restore the content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases that can be transferred to a computer.

    Redownload or transfer your iTunes Store purchases an iPhone, iPad or iPod to computer - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201267 - 'this feature only works for content purchased from the iTunes Store. From iOS9 is more apps that now need to be re-downloaded directly from the store.

    To transfer other items from an i-device to a computer, you will need to use third-party commercial software.  See this document in turingtest2: recover your iTunes library from your iPod or device iOS - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 even this method can fully recover what you originally had in the library. For example, in order to save space during synchronization if you had converted music files at a lower rate, or photos at a lower resolution, it is these lower quality files that will pick you up.

    If you subscribe to the Apple music, titles that are not part of the content that you have purchased or downloaded may not be transferred and must be downloaded directly from iCloud.

    In some categories, you will be offered the option to add Images to your listing during the validation process.

    In addition, you can do this by using the HTML tag, but the image must already be on a website somewhere. There are many sites of free web hosting on the internet where you can upload your photo, just type "free hosting" in your search engine. Make sure that the site allows you to make a link to their site from another. If it's on a site, say on www.craigslist.org, in a directory named/on/teamPix, and named homer.gif, you had the code:

    That is controlled by PC-phone connection software provided by the manufacturer of the phone.  If the phone is compatible with windows 7, they will provide pilots & an application to allow transfers that you want.

    If this software is not supplied with your phone then go to the support site for the manufacturer of the phone to know if everything is available.
