Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hi, I'm not sure what I am doing so any help is appreciated!
My husband and I split recently and both have an Apple ID. Our iTunes library is under my details on my pc at home. He would like a copy of all our music to put on his iPhone.
Is it as simple as copying my library to an external drive, then him putting on his pc and transferring to the iPhone as normal?
Many thanks
Yes, you can just copy the entire folder where your music is presently stored to a HD and then copy that large folder to another computer. The only thing he has to do is tell iTunes where the new default audio library path is located ( this is where you put all your copied audio files). Once you set this new path as default then all future ripped CDs will automatically go to this location thus building your library.
Hi thanks for the reply, you are brave I really have no idea with this sort of thing!
So once he has done that our iTunes library's are completely separate and we can buy music or rip CDs independently?
Next question I'm guessing its not as simple as dragging and dropping! How do I copy my iTunes to a external hard drive?!!!
Open Windows Explorer, go to your library ... copy "iTunes" ... go to external drive ... paste ..
That's all you have to do!
