How to move a large iTunes library between Windows computers?
I'm would like to move my large (70GB) iTunes library and playlists from my Laptop (running Windows 7 64 bit) to my new desktop (also running Windows 7 64 bit).
I have already updated both computers to the newest version of iTunes.
On the old laptop I changed my iTunes settings to allow iTunes to "Keep iTunes media folder organized" and "copy files to iTunes media folder when adding". I expected to see my iTunes folder jump in size but all of my existing files stayed in their original location.
I keep seeing answers that suggest using an ipod, however my 120GB classic is no longer turning on and my iphone does not have that amount of space.
Firstly, copy the entire iTunes folder in the music library using an external hard disk.
Then copy the same folder to your desktop computer, in the music library.
Finally install iTunes in your desktop computer.
when you open iTunes after installation, you will see all your files.
Lastly you need to sign in to iTunes with your Apple id and also authorise the purchases when asked
to do so.
Have you tried following the tutorials given on Apple's website here is one of them

- My Other data on iTunes is inordinately large? I'm pretty sure this is an error, can anyone confirm my suspicions? I have a 64GB iPhone, and my "Other" folder is taking up 15 GB of space? But I'm adding up all the data that is taken up by all my other things (Photos, Music, Apps, etc) and I just don't see how so much data can be taken up by other. I routinely delete my texts so that I can avoid this. Has anyone had a similar problem, can someone help me fix this? (If it wasn't clear… I have an iPhone!) :-D
