Moving iTunes Library

Postby momoffduty » Sun Nov 25, 2012 4:49 pm

I've transferred the data from my C & D drive to my new computer. Included in that transfer is my iTunes folder. I've downloaded iTunes to my new computer. How do I get the library inside the iTunes on the new computer?

Cheryl I hope this helps:

Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

On the new computer, hold <SHIFT> while launching iTunes.

When prompted to create a new or open an existing iTunes library, select the option to open and point iTunes to the iTunesLibrary.itl file in the iTunes folder.

Thanks Gerlinde! :exc:

Now, can you please fly out to StL and get the rest of my computer transfer to-do list done? :)
