Okay ... So I wish to transfer my itunes library to a new mac from a PC. Question, I do not have an single "iTunes" folder, I have three, because I have created several itunes libraries: Richard's iTunes, Justin's iTunes, and Rachael's iTunes folders.

I am trying to follow the instrucitons for moving my iTunes account to a new Mac from a PC. I wish to use the External Hardrive Method, (also I have too much info to fit into the free iCloud space) ... and I am wondering how to handle several iTunes accounts for my son and daughter. We all share the itunes media folder, but I use the control-click option to open either mine, my sons, or my dauthers account.


I.e. On the old windows PC I have itunes, Richard's itunes, Justin's itunes, and Rachael's iTunes folders. The instructions speak of the simple itunes folder ... so, do I copy all of these folders to the external hard drive and will things operate as before?

Yes, you copy each one's iTunes folder to the /Home/Music/ folder in each of their separate user accounts. You will first need to create a separate user account for each of them using the Users & Groups preferences.
