Transfer iTunes to another PC - multiple questions content

Hello

I bought a new laptop (Windows 10) and want to transfer my iTunes to the PC (Vista), via hard drive (and leave duplicates on hard drive for back to the top).

I've got 20,000 songs and hundreds of playlists.

On the first attempt, I'm done with no playlists and 9 000 pieces.

On the second attempt (by replacing the new library with the PC), I found myself with playlists up to 2014 and only 9,000 tunes

On the third, 17 000 songs and lists full reading - but only until 2014.

I can only assume that I am not transfer to itls up-to-date? I tried to export the library and playlist to make sure they are u-t-j but I am not sure it is the right method.

Any ideas? Can't the Chuck on the old PC until I am sure than that.

Thank you

Matthew

Migrate a library iTunes from one computer to another

These are two approaches that work normally to move an existing library to a new computer.

Method 1

  1. Save the library with this trick of the user.
  2. Remove the old computer if you no longer wish to access content protected on it.
  3. Restore the backup to your new computer by using the same tool used to back it up.
  4. Keep your current backup in the future.

Method 2

Connect the two computers on the same network. Share your old computer < user music > folder and copy the folder of library full iTunes in the < user music > on the new folder. Yet once, remove the old computer so is no longer necessary.

These two methods should give the new computer, a clone of the library work which was on the former. What about iTunes is it is still the 'home' for your devices library you should not have problems with iTunes will erase and reload.

I recommend method 1 because it establishes a current backup for your library.

Note If you have iOS devices and that you have not reached your contacts and calendar all in all items, then you need to create a dummy entry in your new profile and iTunes expected to merge existing data from the device.

If your media folder has been separated in the main folder of iTunes, you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a library of portable split.

If you are in the unfortunate position where you're able to access your original library or a backup and then see recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device to get tips on how to configure your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Transfer iTunes to external hard drive

    I transferred my iTunes library on an external hard drive (Seagate).  I would like to transfer CDs to laptop so that I can do it again on one of my iPod tunes.  There is no option for ' send to ' iTunes from the external hard drive.  I tried several times and failed.  I can listen to the music stored on the external hard drive but playing something other than iTunes.  I installed Win 10 (big mistake, but too late now) so I guess it's to play through their music app.  I also tried to send to the device Bluetooth drive external hard, but that no longer works.

    I plan to replace my Samsung laptop with a Macbook Pro I hope in the not-too-distant future, but for now, I'd like to tell me if it is possible to transfer iTunes from external hard drive to my laptop existing back.  He drives me crazy not less because you have probably guessed I am somewhat of a technophobe.

    Thanks in advance.

    An iTunes library is an index of media stored on your computer that has been added to the library. iTunes has to know where the files are located in order to transfer them to your device. If the albums in question do not appear in your library and then use the menu file > add folder to library to add them, and then either make them slide to the device if handled manually on the base, or adjust the synchronization settings as required, and synchronize.

    See make a library of portable split to some general information about the layout of iTunes library. According to what you have copied where in the place where exactly, and what you see currently listed, you may want to shift-Start-iTunes and open the database stored on the external hard drive or maybe copy the whole folder iTunes from the outside to the inside, or you can create a library laptop from scratch on the outside, if there only your media.

  • A multiple question in a single thread is allowed

    Hello everyone

    Multiple question is allowed in one thread?

    I saw in many sons who

    OP messages in a thread, got a correct answer, but do not close thread

    new ask a question, and then again until it fulfill its mission

    so is it allowed or we ask OP to open the new thread for another question?

    Thank you

    I don't see what often happens, but it happens sometimes.

    As we already mentioned, if the person follows the original question with additional questions which are associated to develop what they're trying to reach while it's generally acceptable, and it retains all of the current answers and information in context so people will have a better idea what it is (this may actually be better than display them as a separate issue and not having people not in reference to what they "already discussed elsewhere).

    If the issue is clearly a completely separate topic/issue then of course it should be reported and a moderator will take a look and see if they need to tell to start a new thread, or it may be forks etc.

    Each discussion is different, so everything should be seen in the context.

  • How to transfer iTunes with comments and followed by names, but keep the files of the song on external hard drive?

    I have all of my music stored on an external hard drive. On my old iMac, I have iTunes with all the songs on this hard drive organized or recognized as I like, with comments and play lists and track/song names and album names. How can I transfer iTunes as it is to the old iMac to the new MacMini while leaving the actual files of the song (> 2.5 to) on the external hard drive? In short, I want the old iTunes on my new computer, but the files of the song in the current HD thank you so much.

    (2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM 20 "iMac; 2014 new Mac Mini)

    Hmmm...   Never tried, but I "think" it should work.   The reader will need to named exactly something on the new computer, as it was on the old.

    1. on the old computer, go to {user folder} / music/iTunes and move the files on the external hard drive.

    2. on the new computer in iTunes, go to Preferences > advanced and not select "copy of the file to the iTunes Media folder.

    3. always in this same window under "iTunes Media folder location", click on change.   Now select the location on the external hard drive, you have moved the files too.

  • Cannot open the application "iTunes" because another user is open.

    I recently bought a new computer with vista. Installed iTunes on this computer and found that there is a problem between the two profiles on the computer. I run iTunes on my profile - but whenever my wife profile is active we are getting consistent error messages indicating "cannot open the application"iTunes"as another user, he has opened." Ask the other user to quit the application and try again.

    I need to keep itunes open in my profile - and anyway, why are they bent them in two profiles in Vista... we never had this problem under XP.
    I asked Apple for advice, and they suggested to install itunes in the second profile... which I did and said to reinstall/repair...which is not the goal... Apple then told me to contact Microsoft support as he would have to do with the admin files...
    Any advice pls.
    Thank you

    Find the Itunes.exe in the Itunes folder in Program Files.  Right click on the .exe / Properties / compatibility, look down at the bottom of this page for the 'privilege level' and check the box that says "change settings for all users.  In the heartbeat window according to the box that says "run this program as an administrator".  This can only solve your problem if you can both run under the same user name.

    When you run a program as an administrator you should get a quick UAC (unless maybe you have turned off UAC?

    To see the file extensions, you may need to go into Control Panel / folder Options / discovers, there you can uncheck "hide known file type.

  • Transfer of div tags PA with their content to another html file

    I'm kinda a newbie, I created my first website in depth and having a problem with the AP div tags.
    Initially, I created a template and used this model to create all my html code of the pages of content for the site.

    Now, I had to make changes to certain items and rather than clicking on each html file and this change, I wonder if there is a better way.

    I know that I can insert tags div of my stylesheet css to another html file but the problem is that it simply inserts the div without the content.  Is there a way to bring in a div, including all the

    content that is inside the div?

    Thank you very much

    I am not good with code, I mostly do work that in design, so I don't know what to do with this...

    This will have to change if you're not bloody your forehead every day it bumping on the desktop.

    What is a div?

    It's a plan that contains elements (divs, images, forms, tables, etc., with CSS).

    How do I get this in Dreamweaver?

    View source in your browser.  Copy all.  In DW create an empty HTML page, click on mode code, select all and then paste.  You now have it in DW.  Review the code and CSS.  See if you can figure out what to do.

  • Transfer iTunes Music to iTouch for MacPro

    I did a backup time machine my old Mac then Migration assisted everything for my new Mac. I have no more the old MacPro.

    Shock and horror: my iTunes music was not included in the backup. However, I have all my music on my iTouch. Question: How can I get off my iTouch in my new media folder [empty] iTunes on my new MacPro? I have auto-sync firmly as probably could synchronize my MacPro empty to my iTouch and then I would have lost everything.

    Just want to "sync" the other way, iTouch TO MacPro. "." Is this some kind of import function? I just make a backup of my iTouch while it is connected by USB to my new MacPro, perhaps we can access this backup and download it to my iTunes Media Yes folder?

    Thanks everyone - desperate situation!

    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.

  • How to transfer iTunes iPad Pro for iPhone

    I replace my current Macbook with an iPad Pro. How do I transfer my iTunes from my iPad Pro on my iPhone? I know how to leave my Macbook, but what if I sell my Macbook? Apple has really solve this problem, if they want us to replace our MacBook with the new iPad Pro.

    An iPad Pro does not replace a computer, it does not sync the content to another iOS device.

    If these are iTunes purchases and they are still in the store and you have not reached the country since their purchase, then you might be able to re-download them via the tab bought from the iTunes Store app on the phone. Or you can subscribe to Match iTunes on your computer and download your music to (correspondence is only for music, not for the movies or videos) so that your music library is available in the cloud.
