How can I transfer my iTunes library to my new laptop? I have all of my songs (168 songs) on my iTunes library on my older computer. I bought a new laptop (hP) and a new iPod nano. I have lost my older iPod mini, but I have all of my songs on my iTunes library. The iTunes on my computer is an older edition, and the iTunes on my laptop is new (iTunes 7.3.2, I think,) I tried plugging my new iPod nano into my older computer, but I got an error message saying that my new iPod nano was not compatible with the older edition of iTunes on my computer. I tried to upgrade the iTunes on my computer, but it didn't work right. I also tried to email my iTunes library to my new laptop using the 'Export' tool, but that didn't work, either. I got an error message saying that the iTunes on my new laptop couldn't find any of the songs that I sent. What can I do? I really appreciate any help or advice that you guys could give. Thanks so much.
My itunes screen seems to be locked on Miniplayer. How do i maximise the screen? I am not sure how it started by my full itunes screen switched to 'mini player' mode and now I am unable to maximise it so as to view my full library. In itunes' view option, the 'full screen, half size, actual size, double size & fit to screen' options are all greyed out and unavailable. On the toolbar, if I click 'zoom' the screen disappears all together. If I click again it re-appears still in miniplayer mode. The 'minimise' option just minimises the screen as per normal. I also do not have the option to click on the bottom right corner or the mini-player to maximise the screen by dragging it. In mini-player mode I am unable to see my library or search for songs so as you can imagine this is very frustrating. If anyone has any tips i'd REALLY appreciate it. Cheers!
How do I move my iTunes library from one computer to another? I know this has been asked before, but I can't the information I need. I have about 1000 songs, about 200 videos (mostly podcasts) a single game, and 300 photos in my iTuned library. Some of them were imported from a CD, so they're in the iTunes folder (which is in "my music) but the others are scattered all over the place. I've tried the "consolidate my library" option, but I got a "filename is too long or invalid" message, and I have no idea what that means. So my problem is this... I want to just copy my iTunes music folder onto a large portable hard drive and bring it to my other computer, (which has iTunes installed) and import the whole thing. But then I don't know how to get all of my songs into one place, where my podcasts are kept, and how to keep all of the info about the songs. (album art, skip count, etc.) Isn't there some way I could just sync my ipod with my new itunes library instead of the other way around? I don't have a CD burner, so that option is out. If I go into the media files on my ipod and import those, will they keep all the information such as titles, skip count, album art, etc?
