transfer my SL to Yose iTunes music

I have a large collection of songs in iTunes in international. Recently, I installed an SSD on my iMac with Yosemite and I want to transfer all of my collection (to the iTunes of Yosemite). How can I make this transfer so that I do not lose the attributes of music list that are defined on the version of iTunes SL?

Moving a library: quick response if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/alt key (shift on Windows) keys to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder.

When it comes to a new computer/drive put the iTunes folder copied to the default location of Macintosh HD > users > * user name * > music (or home > music) so you don't even have to start with the down option, iTunes will automatically look it there.  (Make sure that it is no anything already in the iTunes folder it that you want to keep because you will replace it with the one you are moving).  Don't forget to authorize computer in iTunes to your Apple ID if you use it to synchronize with Apple devices or play multimedia DRM protected (e.g., movies).

Some elements used in iTunes related activities are not stored in the iTunes library folder, but in special folders.  If you move a library to another computer, you can copy these too:

  • 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.

    Anyone know how I can restore my iTunes music Library using only one xml file library on my PC?

    The XML file contains a list of what is / was in the library. Without the media you can not use it to restore iTunes. What is really? See the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library on the off chance that it provides the information you need.

    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 folder from the old computer and copy the file whole iTunes library in the folder on the new. 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.

  • move to hd mini itunes music files external usb3 hd

    I recently added a 3 TB WD ext hdd usb 3 for my mini course 2014 / 2.6 gHz core i5 / 8 GB memory / el cap 10.11.3

    When I added ext hd loc of itunes media, I changed again drive seems to work however there are more files to the mini that I would like to ext hdd

    How can I do this without duplication of files on the new disk as how compilations to view on itunes? (version 12.3.2)

    all the files that I can access my list of songs (9 k) display location/Volumes / My Book/ITunes music/media/name of the Song / My Book is the good ext hdd some files fail the expression (/ music /)

    You don't say how you have moved your front support. A lot of people do it the wrong way.

    Looks like you need to consolidate and organize all your content in the media on the external hard drive folder.  It's the location displayed in iTunes > Preferences > advanced.  iTunes will copy files to this place and after you check that everything went very well you can remove the originals from other places.
