[NPMUG] iTunes transfer

[Al Houston]

Shelly,

If you go to apple.com/support you will find if you search  
transferring iTunes purchased items from one computer, especially when  
it s Mac to Mac is easy.  Among the many ways of doing it:

1)	Using your iPod, if it has sufficient space, with content on the  
iPod, plug it into the new machine, under file>Transfer purchases from  
iPod.  Make sure you authorize the target computer for your iTunes  
account first.

2)	Put the computer with content in target mode (start up while  
holding the letter T down) then connect it to the destination computer  
using a firewire cable.  It will show on the new computer as an  
external hard drive, select all of the content of iTunes folder and  
copy it to the iTunes folder on the destination computer.  Authroize  
the new computer with the store.

3)	You can have up to 5 computers at a time authorized with your  
iTunes account.  If you have reached  the limit, once a year you can  
de-authorize all computers and then re-authorize the ones that you are  
currently using.

this is not for public post please.
